Admirals are like sharks in a fishbowl on land.

If you don't have your own social circle, every day is just moving a chair and sitting on the balcony to bask in the sun.

The unfortunate Koji is such an example.

Under the system of applying for applications when going out, the prosperous and beautiful inland is definitely not the world of the admirals.

However, in the hotel, or the official guest house, the activities of the admirals are not restricted, and the arrangement for each admiral is also the kind of luxury suites with their own open-air balconies and even swimming pools.

However, today's weather is not very suitable for going out in the sun.

When I woke up in the morning, it was drizzling outside, and the sky was overcast, as if it was a sign that something bad was happening.

Koji thought this because he overheard the voice on the morning news TV.

"Wait...... That ...... just now"

It seems that she heard some surprising news, and the eldest sister stopped Alie from changing the channel.

Outside the picture, although the Azure Star World uses fairy technology to make the TV definition far ahead of the times, they still use the most primitive manual control in terms of controllers.

Hearing the words, Ellie turned her head blankly, and several TV stations were replaced.

What a toss......

The television screen shows images of a naval battle.

If it weren't for mathematics, this ship mother World Koji would definitely watch it as the latest blockbuster in the United States.

On the screen, the blue sea warships are like a forest, and the next is the roar of naval guns, the roar of the angry sea, the roar of fighters, and the barrage of barrage salvos between the staggered figures of the fighters, interweaving and rendering a magnificent world of naval warfare.

However, in stark contrast to the grand picture, the narrator's tone is low and tragic.

The show seems to have started quite a while.

After listening to two sentences, it probably means that a large-scale battle broke out between the federal naval fleet and the deep sea.

The narrator is introducing how many capital ships have been dispatched on the human side and how many high-level ship girls are famous for fighting bravely, and the visuals cut out of the video make people feel very excited.

But the next moment, the news on TV changed its style......

The neat fleet had vanished, and as far as the eye could see, the wrecked ships were barely floating on the surface of the sea, billowing black smoke.

It was only after introducing here that Koji sorted out the message expressed in this show: because of the increasing frequency of the activities of the deep-sea fleet in a certain area of the sea, the local admirals formed a joint fleet to fight.

But the end result ended in a crushing defeat of the human fleet.

The heavy losses in this battle were rare in the past, and the number of admirals who fell on the spot alone was as high as thirteen.

After such a heavy loss, the local sea defense line became precarious for a while, and then this incident had attracted the attention of the Admiralty and other conventional rhetoric.

Someone once said this.

As you sit down at the table and eat your dinner, you have to thank those who gave on the battlefield.

This phrase has slowly evolved in the original world, and it has become that when you are happy and enjoy peace now, you should remember the predecessors who paid in the war in the past years.

Federal society has never been truly peaceful.

Television footage like this, cut from a real battlefield, is often seen in the lives of Union citizens on a daily basis.

Most of them celebrate honor, occasionally denounce the causes of war losses, and of course some are purely propaganda documentaries to promote culture.

Some people come to see when he is the daily news.

Some people also take him as a blockbuster movie with real special effects.

However, there are some people who will see him as a war that is closely related to them.

"The Sea of Sibia...... I seem to remember that it was in our northern theater of operations. Koji asked his wife to come over with the collar open on the uniform that was half straightened up: "When did this happen?" ”

What others saw was only a defeat for the human camp against the deep sea camp.

What the top brass saw was only a defeat in the war.

But Koji is the Admiral of the Navy.

In the eyes of the Admirals, what they saw was the death of countless colleagues and their shipwives.

"Don't move." Lexington chased after him, and angrily pressed the admiral's loose clothes: "Other people's affairs are ordered, no matter how urgent it is, it can change the outcome of the war, so let Yu finish wearing it quickly." ”

Don't you care about the Navy wives on TV who happened to Lexington?

Of course not......

In a way, those were her sisters.

However, not only did Mrs. Lexington's expression as usual not show much, but most of the other shipwives also had the same expressions.

For the shipwives, this image and the message it foreshadowed were a part of their lives in themselves, and the word war had a special interpretation in the eyes of these simple girls.

Life is life.

Death is not necessarily death.

Today it's you, tomorrow it's her, and the day after tomorrow maybe it's yourself.

Including Lexington Saratoga, the shipwives are familiar and accustomed to the world they live in.

Just like my wife just said, since the news has been reported on TV, it means that it has become a fact, and no matter how anxious you are, you will not be able to change the victory or defeat of a war that has already occurred.

But to say that there is no indication at all...... That's not either.

The Lady's hands became softer, lighter, and gentler, as if she were nostalgic and enjoying every step of it.

Ellie, who was squatting in front of the TV, also silently returned to Saratoga's side, and the two innocent and romantic active ship girls leaned on each other obediently and quietly, a little less jumping off than usual.

Only VV seems to have seen through it, and his small mouth is pursed lightly without revealing his expression.

"It's not...... I think the name sounds familiar. "The relationship between the eight poles and the eight poles is not good, what kind of sadness, he really feels as if he has heard of the sea area somewhere.

The eldest sister glanced at Koji lightly.

"The Sea of Sibia is located in the southeast of the Sea of Keyes, only two thousand kilometers from the Sea of the Damned......"

"Ha, isn't that the next door to the Cursed Sea, almost all of them were near that during the last Ellie expedition."

"It's even if the Admiral hasn't forgotten that there is no cure, it's next door to the cursed sea."

"When?"

Grabbing Lexington's little hand, Koji pulled his wife to sit down in front of the TV.

The little initial ship Ellie ran to the Admiral's side sullenly, and Xiao Nizi hugged the Admiral's arm and pressed it against her little face, finally showing a little darkness.

"November...... It happened on November 23. ”

Several digital TV narrations about the date have been repeated.

It's been almost a month, but the premiere logo displayed on the program file indicates that this should be the first time that this matter has been officially explained publicly.

At the very least, it should be the first time it has been announced to the public through official channels.

But......

Koji also had a somewhat confused face.

It's been a month since such a big event, and he hasn't received any news?

"It's been so long, presumably the situation should have been under control before these reports began, Yu has already asked the knights to collect relevant information, and there should be a reply soon."

"Sure......" VV said calmly, "So the Admiral doesn't have to worry too much." ”

Koji can only do this.

Although his various abilities are not small, he is not really omniscient.

Suddenly, I heard that such a thing, the good mood of the day was all lost in the morning.

The news of the war in the sea of Sibia seems to have caused quite a stir in the circle of the admirals, and it is difficult to see the admirals in the hotel who play casual games.

The news of the knights didn't wait, but Koji waited for Mahan and his initial destroyer, who came in a hurry.

"Big guy, have you heard the news from the morning?"

As soon as he saw Second Lieutenant Mahan's face tightened, as if something earth-shattering and terrifying had happened.

"How much do you know?" Koji asked.

"I also watched TV only after listening to others, it's too miserable...... "The giant lieutenant sighed.

Is it tragic?

Koji thought back to the images on TV at the time.

Although the combat of the naval fleet has always been so ruthless, it is inevitable that he will feel a little emotional when he thinks of the incomplete scene filled with black smoke.

It doesn't have to be the Virgin, let alone the so-called Holy.

But the human heart is made of flesh......

"Because everyone else is alarmed, it's being discussed everywhere." Mahan said.

Koji tightened his sword eyebrows.

In Admiral circles where there is no live chat software.

If there's one place where the best news can circulate, it's definitely the option of proms.

The ball doesn't mean you have to wait until the night when the moon is full, dressed in neat costumes, and dancing gracefully with a lovely female companion.

The Admiral's Ball was more of a bar venue for the Admirals' entertainment, and they were used to discussing with other Admirals whenever there was a major event.

At this time......

There must have been quite a few people gathered there.

Patting his wife's soft little hand, the Admiral looked slightly apologetic: "Mrs. stayed in the room to help the Admiral take care of Ellie." ”

"Well, let VV accompany Darling, and I still have to wait for news from the knights."

"Do you want us to go with us, brother-in-law."

"Gaga also stayed with her sister, good."

"Mm-hmm, we'll take Ellie with us...... Isn't it, Ellie. ”

"Cricket a small dot ......"

"Who is Xiao Budian talking about?"

"Say you-"

Seeing the sister-in-law and Ai Li Koji fighting with each other, they shook their heads helplessly.

Greeting VV ...... There is no need to say hello, the eldest sister has already patted the hem of her little skirt and stood up indifferently and proudly.

"Let's just go and see what everyone has to say." Koji summoned Ma Han, found his admiral's big-brimmed hat and put it on his head, and prepared to go out.

A certain eldest sister seemed to be a little stunned.

"The Admiral is so ungentlemanly, don't you ask me if I'd like to go?"

Koji's confident and flamboyant smiling face, but with a bit of bitter taste: "Aren't you all up, big sister?" ”

"If I don't forget that I'm not the Admiral's Oath Lady, maybe I'm just sitting for a long time and remembering to get up and take a walk."

"Where to go, like?"

"Like a place with a lot of people outside."

"Ahem, that beautiful, noble and generous eldest sister, can you accompany the Admiral to see the outside world?"

"Hmph, there's no sincerity at all...... Forget it, let's go quickly, wasn't it in a hurry just now. ”

“……”

You have short legs, can't you go first?
