Chapter 68: Altair at Infinity (Part II)
It was a cold morning, and the North Atlantic breeze had blown away the girl's short pink hair, and Tirpitz had never felt so uneasy about that expedition.
The girl curled up together, her arms tightly wrapped in bandages, seemed to silently explain the reason why the girl was here.
Tirbitz squinted his eyes until he saw the Iron Cross logo on the plane, and subconsciously glanced in the direction of the dock in the distance, as if he saw his own miserable upper deck.
"Hmph, if it weren't for ...... No wonder I feel uncomfortable every time I hear an airplane humming. ”
Due to the near-devastating blow to the Tirpitz's third turret due to an air raid by the British Air Force, Tirpitz was dissuaded by Raeder and left alone in the Normandy dockyard for lengthy restoration work.
Although the existence of soul steel can greatly shorten the repair cycle, but such a serious wound can not be completed in a few days, as the breaking engagements continue, the British also have higher and higher requirements for the configuration of the escort fleet, and the German Navy implements large-scale water ships to break the engagements less and less.
The uneasiness in my heart became more and more obvious, and at this distance, even the connection with the captain became unstable......
Distraught, Tirbitz subconsciously touched the doll in his hand, which was a Q version of Bismarck's doll, which was a gift from his sister after a nightmare.
"How could my sister lose? You're right? Tirpitz looked at the miniature meow sister in his arms and muttered quietly.
Seeing that the doll in his hand nodded under his control, Tirbitz let go of the cloth doll that had been ravaged for a long time, and nodded with satisfaction.
You know, this is just a simple battle to break diplomatic relations, in addition to his sister and a certain number of U-boats involved in this operation, and with the escort of Prince Eugen, there must be no problem.
I recall that when my sister parted, she swore frankly to the officers who looked at her with strange eyes, "Tirpitz will sooner or later become a battleship in its own right, I am convinced." ”
"Sister at that moment, she was really handsome......" Tirpitz muttered.
Remembering that he was once dragged out alive by his own sister because he was staying in his room and not going to participate in the ship spirit training, and when he was reprimanded by Zeppelin instructors, Tirbitz couldn't help but hold his forehead and sighed.
"When will I become as good as my sister......
At this moment, Tirbitz sat on the shore like this, waiting for his sister's return......
As the sun set little by little, the sky gradually darkened, and the light of a distant searchlight gradually entered Tirpitz's line of sight, and she quickly stood up a little tired, rubbing her somewhat sore shoulders, and the girl stood on tiptoe, trying to see farther away.
In the case of extensive hull repairs, Tirbitz can only see farther through this method.
"But...... Why didn't you feel my sister's fluctuations......" Tirpitz's pupils shrank, ignoring Raeder's order to keep him in the harbor, he hurriedly unpacked his ship, endured the severe pain all over his body, and hurried towards the distance at full speed.
In the distance, too, a figure was heading towards the shore at full speed, and thanks to the faint light of the searchlight, Tirbitz recognized the familiar figure in front of him.
"Eugen, where is my sister? Got involved in another mission with the Commander? ”
The huge ship's outfit of two huge shields was gone, and his pale blue hair was stained with blood.
"We were ambushed... That's a decoy... In order to cover everyone's retreat, the commander and Bismarck stayed behind to break off...... "Prince Eugen's voice has never been so hoarse, biting his lip tightly, even if it is oozing blood, he doesn't know it. She didn't even dare to look at Tirpitz's expectant eyes.
"It was sunk in the end...... The commander was ready to die at that time, and he was simply saved by 96, but ...... Very badly injured, I'm afraid the left arm... Can't keep it......"
Tirpitz stood on the surface of the sea in a daze, tears already falling.
"How could it be, how could it be like this......"
The girl shook her head slowly, tears dripping, and there was not a ripple on the sea.
It was already a vague murmur, and finally it turned into two words: "Sister......"
I still remember her resolute gaze, warm palms, pale smile, and backlight flying and dissipating in the dust......
That's my sister......
At this moment, Tirbitz finally understood why he had been restless all the time.
While she was bored waiting for her sister to return on the sea, she was constantly fighting for everyone! She is a soldier, a soldier, and a proud leader.
"And what about yourself? It's just a playful and willful little ghost, how can she take on all this like her? ”
Tirpitz seemed to see those mocking eyes, and the mocking words seemed to echo around him.
"This is Germany's new ship spirit? What are you kidding? Just such an otaku? ”
"My sister, you are not qualified to say so, Tirbitz, sooner or later he will become a battleship in his own right, I am sure."
"But, if you're gone, sister, how can you see me grow up......"
The two evils that followed in succession made Tirpitz unable to stand any longer, and the girl crouched on the sea, crying and crying.
"The ship... How is the captain doing? Tirbitz asked in a slightly weeping voice.
"The soul network is seriously overdrawn, coupled with a lot of blood loss, I have fallen into a coma, and now I am receiving initial treatment on my ship's hull, but we must hurry, there is no large medical equipment on board...... Drag it out any longer..."
"I see, I'm going to contact the doctor now." Tirbitz wiped the tears from his face and replied firmly.
In the current situation, there is no time to let yourself go on willfully, the only place to cry is the toilet and my sister's arms, and now, the sister who can stand in front of me and resist all the gossip for herself is no longer there......
"I have to get stronger, no, the strongest!"
Only in this way can those who have mocked the captain and himself understand that although his sister is no longer there, as Bismarck's sister, he will carry the will of his sister who has never disappeared and continue to fight!
Looking at Tirpitz, who was about to leave, Prince Eugen hurriedly grabbed her, looking at the pair of eyes that had become red, Prince Eugen lowered his head in shame, "This is her, let me hand over your ......"
The dark iron cross shimmered in the cold moonlight, just like her.
The girl raised her head, her red and swollen eyes looked at the cross in front of her, and her thoughts flew away.
In the end, it was frozen in what she looked like when she went on the expedition. The warmth of her lips seemed to linger on her cheeks, "I believe that my sister will grow up to be a hero in her own right." ”
"I will, I will......," the girl whispered, taking a deep breath and shouting into the distance.
Those blue eyes have turned blood-red at some point......
