At the end of September 1934, the last U.S. goddess arrived on Oahu, and in early October, the U.S. fleet of dozens of capital ships sailed out of Hawaii Naval Harbor.

The world's second-largest navy is slaughtering the Japanese archipelago.

The Americans themselves reported that the smoke from the chimneys of the fleet could obscure the sky and the sun - by this time, in fact, the US Navy had all replaced with oil-fired boilers, and the smoke from the chimneys was not as terrible as when coal was burned. However, most of the newspaper reporters did not see the sailing of the fleet with their own eyes, and some of them wrote official articles according to the propaganda caliber specified by their superiors, and some of them deliberately tried to cater to the readers' taste for seeing the unbeatable majesty of their own army.

When one of the "brilliant" reporters wrote something like smoke obscuring the sky, the newspapers were full of similar reports in the blink of an eye, so much so that after the ship's photojournalists returned the negatives of the photographs from the fleet's voyage by plane, the darkroom in charge of the washing was instructed to find a way to make the smoke from the fleet's chimneys darker and thicker.

While the newspapers were reporting the news of the arrival of the naval fleet, the American GIs waved goodbye to their loved ones and boarded the train to the barracks.

Although according to the Americans' plan, it is not necessary to mobilize much reserve force to fight Japan, but now that the economy is sluggish, it is necessary to implement cash-for-work to reduce unemployment, and cash-for-work seems to be no different from letting unemployed young unskilled workers go to join the army, and it will cost them less money to join the army - and they can also drive them to build dams and roads after they join the army.

As for those workers who have jobs, they are now working at full speed to produce artillery shells and other munitions products.

Charlotte's wheelchair opened through a small door on the side of the bridge's armored fort and opened onto the foredeck of the battleship Arizona.

In the first few days on board, Charlotte had to go to the bridge every day to show her face. Her wheelchair can only activate the flight element when she wants to board the bridge, and although the mental energy consumed by the wheelchair's flying element is nothing, as the distance between the fleet and the Japanese archipelago grows closer, almost everyone on the ship thinks that Charlotte should save her mental energy.

After the captain of the Arizona insisted that Charlotte must be carried up in a wheelchair by two soldiers next time she went to the bridge, Charlotte gave up her plan to show her face on the bridge every day, and instead went to the deck of the battleship every day after listening to the condition report in her own apartment, which happened to be on the same level as the main deck of the battleship.

Charlotte came out of the side door of the armored fort and happened to bump into a group of young sailors wiping the deck. The sailors scrambled to stand up and salute, and one of them knocked down the bucket at his feet.

"Calm down, soldiers." Charlotte smiled at the soldiers, then drove the wheelchair to continue the walk on the deck today, leaving the soldiers to dry.

As an old ship that served before and after the last war, although it has been modernized, the performance has lagged behind that of its predecessors, but Charlotte still chose it as her ship.

Charlotte had planned to choose the older USS Oklahoma as her flagship, because it was the first class of super-dreadnoughts owned by the U.S. Navy, which, according to Charlotte's uncle Theodore Roosevelt, was a sign that the United States had officially become a maritime power. However, the Oklahoma does not have a special living facility for the goddess, nor can it carry and maintain the goddess's magic armor. So Charlotte finally chose the Arizona.

Jonathan, who served as the commander of the fleet in response to this? Vice Admiral Cratford was very disagreeable, and Vice Admiral believed that His Excellency the President should take the Maryland, which had the best protection in the fleet. But Charlotte rejected this proposal, because once the war started, the god would inevitably take to the air, and there was no need to consider the quality of the battleship's protection ability.

Charlotte's wheelchair made its way along the edge of the deck, bypassing the Arizona's main gun turret. She paused under the main cannon and looked up at the thick barrel.

It is the most terrible weapon made by humans, and even the gods have to stay away from it, and even if they can be blocked by this heavy artillery, their combat power will be directly halved, and then it will become a meal for the local gods.

Even if you don't get a direct hit, the shock wave set off by the cannonballs fired by this giant cannon will cause a huge oppression to the spirit of the god - fortunately, you don't need to worry about the shock wave when fighting at sea at a low altitude, and if you are fighting at low altitude on land, it will be very troublesome to be interfered with by the shelling of this giant cannon.

In addition, Charlotte knew that the muzzle storm set off when the salvo of the huge guns on the foredeck would also affect the gods, not to mention that the loud sound of the shelling alone was enough to bear - because of this, the warlords who fought with the ship were apprehensive about the shooting of the battleship's main guns, and everyone preferred to serve in the stern, because the number of main guns there was less than half that on the foredeck, and the sound was not so loud when firing.

Charlotte raised her head like that, looking at the cannon, which was the culmination of human industrial power, her gaze gradually moving along the barrel, and finally fell on the shield of the main gun turret.

The battleship's main gun turret shield is probably the best protection on the entire battleship, and the thick armor can even withstand the irradiation of the energy weapons fired by the gods. Charlotte had helped the Navy with such a test before she became governor - her uncle had been the Navy Secretary after all, and she had to help with it.

Charlotte irradiated the shield as a target for a few seconds, tired like a dog, but the armor had not been completely melted, and the final navy concluded that when facing Shenji, this level of armor protection was sufficient, and when it was irradiated for a long time, the gun body would definitely be melted before the armor, and Shenji would definitely not continue to irradiate in order to save mental power.

The battleship has developed to the present and has become the only existence in the human arsenal that will make the god frown. As a conventional force, its greatest use in the battle with Shenji is to consume Shenji's spiritual power, and Shenji's mental power to destroy a battleship is probably much more than annihilating an army division.

Except for going all out and using energy weapons to penetrate the battleship's main defense belt, there is no good way for Shen Ji to quickly destroy a battleship, and the mental power required to penetrate the battleship's main defense belt is probably far more than using energy weapons to strafe and wipe out several buildings on the battlefield.

In particular, today's battleships are designed to fill the inside of the two layers of armor with materials that are easy to evaporate, reducing the penetration power of the energy weapon of the gods.

If it weren't for a quick annihilation, the god could have forcibly landed on the battleship. However, the armor used by the god is generally larger, because the god can "load" far more magic equipment than the battle queen, and the designers of the magic armor are biased towards making the best use of things, and do their best to convert these loads into combat effectiveness.

These big guys are often five meters tall, and the Russians even made them eight meters tall.

When Shen Ji landed on the battleship, she still had to disassemble the heavy armor defense of the battleship in order to destroy the key parts - especially now that the battleship made the armored doors leading to the outside small and sturdy in order to prevent Shen Ji and War Hime's gang jumping tactics.

In addition, in order to prevent this kind of gang jumping, modern battleships are equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft guns, plus the battle queens of each ship, Shen Ji must hesitate for a while before deciding to carry out gang jumping battles.

In addition to these, due to the high degree of electrification of American battleships, they also set up a special surface electrification device, when the enemy god queen landed on the deck, the captain could decide to give up part of the battleship's functions and electrify the battleship's hull.

There are also a lot of strange things, such as a device for spraying boiling oil, etc., whether it is useful or not, the battleship is fully equipped, and it is time to greet the goddess girls.

Because of this, the British Navy preferred in World War I to have the Divine Queen, who was operating with the fleet, carry bombs to blow up the battleships, rather than let them dismantle the German ships themselves.

And Charlotte is also because of this, since she was a child, she has been particularly fond of battleships. Theodore Roosevelt once carried her on his shoulders and took her around the battleship, saying as he went: "Look, Charlotte, this is the most powerful resistance of mankind in the face of the divine power of the Divine Queen, and if the United States cannot finally solve the problem of the supply of the Divine Queen, we can only guarantee our position among the great powers by building a large number of battleships." ”

When Roosevelt Sr. was dying, he once grabbed Charlotte's hand and said in a trembling voice: "If you become the president of the United States, you will desperately build battleships!" ”

Charlotte did exactly that, and she had only been in office for a little more than a year before she persuaded Congress to pass a huge shipbuilding plan – of course, on the grounds that American shipbuilders needed this kind of order in the midst of the depression to ensure that their manufacturing capacity did not deteriorate, and that they needed this order to retain a large number of skilled shipbuilders.

And now, she is personally following the most powerful battleship fleet in the history of the United States of America to the future birthplace of the American gods.

The elder Roosevelt had two great wishes throughout his life: one was to build a powerful fleet of battleships, and the other was to give the United States its own god and queen origin.

These two great wishes are about to be fulfilled in the hands of Charlotte.

Charlotte finally withdrew her gaze from the cannon, only to find her lieutenant, Marshall, waiting next to turret one.

"Miss President," Marshall said in his usual deferential tone, after meeting his gaze, "the Chief Registrar would like to make a final adjustment to your armor. ”

"No problem, I'll do it." Charlotte activated the wheelchair's magic trap and steered the wheelchair towards Marshall.

In the process, Charlotte set her sights on the stern of the Arizona, the iconic cage mast of the American battleship forming a small forest behind the Arizona, and countless Star-Spangled Banners fluttering in the wind.
