Chapter 52: Arrival in Yokosuka

Early the next morning, Yan Feng took the ship's ladies on a speedboat to continue towards Jepenbon Island, but when Hood was driving the boat, Yan Feng suddenly received a communication from Lexington.

'Admiral, can you hear me?' ’

'Yes, Lexington? Is something happening to the town guard's mansion? Yan Feng was a little puzzled as to why Lexington contacted him at this time.

'It's not a big deal, but Bismarck has made a request to me, and she plans to lead the shipwives of the Castle to start attacking Resource Point B. Lexington replied.

'Resource Point B?' Well...... Speaking of which, now that the combat power of the Town Guard Mansion has been improved again, it should be able to try to clean up the deep sea on the periphery first. In this case, you tell Bismarck to make her the flagship of this operation, first clear the deep sea on the periphery of resource point B, and then find out the amount of deep sea in the core area and report back to me. It's up to me to decide if I want to capture resource point B. Yan Feng replied after thinking about it for a moment.

'Yes, who are you going to send this time?' Lexington continued to ask.

'Hmm...... It shouldn't take many people to clean up the perimeter. So Bismarck, Tirpitz, Zeppelin, and Princeton took Z1, Z16, Z31, and Raffi with them, while the rest stayed in the town guard to carry out mining and patrol duties. Yan Feng said after counting the people left behind.

'Got it, then Admiral, be careful with your actions over there. Lexington said with concern.

"I will, by the way, yesterday we found Ninghai and Pinghai in Naba Harbor on Ryu Island, and now the two of them have returned to the town guard mansion first, if you receive contact from them, you can send one or two to meet them." Yan Feng informed his wife of the situation in Ninghai and Pinghai.

'Ninghai and Pinghai?' Okay, I'll tell the sisters, Yat-sen will be happy to know that the two of them will be happy when they come back. Lexington said with a smile.

That's all for that, and you can go on with your business.' After Yan Feng finished speaking, he cut off the communication.

"Admiral, what's going on at the Guard's Mansion?" The attentive Hood noticed Yan Feng's wandering mind just now and asked.

"Well, Bismarck has proposed to start cleaning up Resource Point B, and I've agreed." Yan Feng hugged the island wind in his arms and explained to Hood.

"Tsk, that thief cat. Do you start inviting pets as soon as you come back? Hood smacked his lips in displeasure.

"Admiral, is Miss Hood on bad terms with Bismarck?" King Kong asked from the side.

"Okay, their relationship is a legacy of the old days. But it's not bad, it can only be said that they love and kill each other. Yan Feng explained to King Kong with a smile.

"Who fell in love with that thief cat and killed each other!" Hood, who was driving the boat, suddenly became excited, and the whole speedboat began to shake.

"Hey, old driver, notice that you're still on the boat. It's okay for you to fall, but I'm miserable. Yan Feng grabbed the handrail in the shaking hull and said to Hood with a pale face.

"I'm sorry Admiral, but I'm so excited." Seeing Yan Feng's performance, Hu De calmed down, and then concentrated on starting the boat.

"Hee-hee, the relationship between Sister Hood and Sister Bismarck is really complicated." Dian said in Yan Feng's ear at this time.

"yes, don't irritate her, we still have to rely on her to drive the boat." Yan Feng was also talking to electricity in a low voice.

"Humph! This is the so-called tsundere, thinking about each other in my heart but never admitting it, it's really unfrank. Leon snorted.

'Are you qualified to speak to others?' Hearing Lei's words, Yan Feng and Dian both complained in their hearts.

"Brother-in-law, what do you think you will encounter when you go to Jiepen Island this time? Ninghai and Pinghai's reminders made me feel bad. The sister-in-law, who was usually cheerful, asked with a somewhat solemn face at this time.

"I'm the same, I always feel like something is wrong. Although Ninghai and Pinghai were successfully picked up this time, it may also be that Ryudao, a place far away from the island, was not taken seriously, and there was also the factor that the two of them were not capital ships. Yan Feng also said with a frown.

"Well, indeed. The atmosphere here in Ryushima is not as oppressive as in Yokosuka, and I felt bad when I was in Yokosuka with Sister Nagato, and the whole city was like something was hanging over it, and the atmosphere in the city was very bad. Dao Feng in Yan Feng's arms said with a little trepidation at this time, and Kaohsiung stretched out his hand and touched Dao Feng's little head to express comfort.

"yes, it looks like the situation on Jerbonhonjima is in a terrible situation. I don't know what will happen this time, so let's be vigilant and prepared. Yan Feng said cautiously, and after getting an affirmative answer from the ship girls, he stopped talking and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

Two days later, in the morning, the speedboat finally arrived at Yokosuka Port, and Yan Feng and the others left the dock and came to the tram stop after settling the speedboat.

"The stop sign says that two stops later is Yokosuka Admiral's Academy, shall we go straight to it?" After reading the stop sign, Yan Feng asked with some hesitation.

"Admiral, I don't recommend going straight to Admiral's Academy. Now that we've just arrived, a lot of the situation is still unclear, so let's go to the Ship's Council and the Governor's Mansion branch to find out the situation," Hood suggested at this time.

"I also agree with Hood that the acquisition of intelligence is still very important." Sister-in-law Saratoga also nodded in agreement.

"Miss Hood is right, Admiral, let's go and ask how we should get to the Council and the Governor's Palace." Kaohsiung also agreed.

Then Yan Feng comforted Shimafeng, who was a little uneasy when he returned to Yokosuka, and went to ask the surrounding passers-by how to get to their destination.

"Ah, that's irritating. This city was so lifeless that I went to ask several people, each with a cold expression, although in the end I did. King Kong, who asked for directions, scratched his blonde hair unhappily and complained.

"That, Miss Kongo. Can you stop speaking that weird English, it gives me goosebumps when I listen to it. Hood rubbed his arms and said.

"Huh? Is My English really bad? King Kong of Vitality asked with some confusion.

"Sounds really weird, even if I ask you, don't talk like that, Mandarin is OK."

"Okay, okay, I'm also born in England, how can I blame it." King Kong said with some thoughts.

Then she told everyone the route she had asked, and it turned out that the two branches were on Zhushan Road, which was only one stop away from the Admiralty Academy. After waiting for the train to arrive, the people took the train to their destination.

Most of the buildings on this street have the traditional style of Jiepen, the wooden sliding doors that can be seen everywhere and the tatami mats on the floor inside the door, revealing fresh nature and simple and elegant furniture, creating an elegant custom and a full of Zen artistic conception.

On the way to the council branch with Yan Feng and the ship girls, everyone watched the exotic scenes around them, King Kong, Kaohsiung and Xiao Leidian, the ship girls of J country looked at this similar street scene with some emotion, and Daofeng, who was still held in Yan Feng's arms, said that he was used to seeing it. Everyone stopped when they arrived at a building of the same style, which was the Yokosuka branch of the Ship's Council.

Sure enough, there were also naval soldiers standing guard at the door, and Yan Feng went up to explain his identity as usual. This time, the two soldiers looked the crowd up and down for a long time before letting them in.

"It seems that Yokosuka is really more heavily guarded here than Ryushima, and even the hall is guarded by soldiers." Yan Feng observed the naval soldiers around him and said, since Yan Feng and the others came in, the eyes of these soldiers have been watching them intentionally or unintentionally.

"It's so unpleasant to feel like you're being watched everywhere, and it's no wonder that pedestrians on the road have numb expressions on their faces." Hood frowned disapprementedly.

"Admiral, let's go to the front desk and ask, let's solve it as soon as possible, and we can leave early." King Kong also said with an uncomfortable face, it seems that everyone feels very uncomfortable with this kind of surveillance.

Yan Feng walked quickly to the front desk and asked the waiter, "Hello, can I ask why there is such a tight security here?" No other country seems to have done this, huh? ”

The waitress behind the counter first looked at the soldiers around her cautiously and then whispered, "Jiepen's management of the ship's mother is very strict, and you should have heard something about the seizure of the ship's girls all the way." In October last year, the Governor's Office issued an ultimatum to Jiepen, limiting them to lift the seizure and blockade of the ship's mother within half a year, otherwise Jiepen would not be included in the Governor's Palace's security protection agreement, and Jiepen himself would be responsible for the security of the surrounding waters in the future. Because of this incident, it has been this high-pressure situation in China in the past few months. The upper echelons also seem to be arguing, and the Admiralty has been vehemently opposed to the decision of the Governor's Palace, and has vowed to fight to the end. However, most of the cabinet members are now inclined to compromise, after all, the navy has long existed in name only, and without the support of the Governor's Palace, Jiepen alone will definitely not be able to withstand the annual deep-sea flagship invasion. ”

"Then since you have decided to compromise, why is it still like this?" Yan Feng asked a little strangely after listening to the waiter's explanation.

"This is all the arbitrariness of the Admiralty, and for a long time their tough style of being both internal and external has caused dissatisfaction among the people and many in the upper echelons, and now they have taken the opportunity of the Governor's Office ultimatum to see a sharp backlash in public opinion, which is why they have made this high-pressure posture of surveillance everywhere, in order to forcibly suppress domestic opposition. However, this has been considered by everyone to be the last madness, and at the end of this month, the Prime Minister will announce the liberation of the ship girls, and at that time, I am afraid that the top brass of the Admiralty will be pulled out as scapegoats, and even ordered to seppuku. The waiter continued.

After listening to this, Yan Feng thought about it, and then explained his intention to the attendant and asked, "Then how can I take my ship girls with me?" ”

"This Admiral, I don't suggest that you forcibly take away the shipwrecks in the country of Jiepen under the current circumstances. Doing so now is tantamount to touching the already sensitive nerves of such Admiralty bigwigs, and it is better to wait until the Prime Minister announces a compromise before taking them away in the open. The waiter enthusiastically proposed.

"But it went well when we claimed the ship's mother in Naba Harbor on Ryu Island, could it be that there is something hidden?" Yan Feng frowned and asked, he always felt that the people in the Admiralty would not be willing to admit defeat, and if they waited any longer, there might be some variables.

"After all, Ryudao is not in the core area of Jiepen, and most of the soldiers sent by the Admiralty are unlucky people who have been exiled, so naturally the security over there is not strict. However, Yokosuka is the headquarters of the entire Admiralty, and they will never let you take the ship so easily, so you better wait and wait for the situation to stabilize before acting. The waitress continued to persuade.

"Okay, thank you, then let's wait and see." Yan Feng had no choice but to agree, and then confirmed with the waiter that there was no owner here in Yokosuka, and it turned out that there were only two suspected ownerless ship girls in Nagato and Mutsu, and they did register to look for Yan Feng when they came last time, but this message was not sent out because of communication restrictions.

"Next, we plan to go to the Governor's Mansion branch to have a look, so we will take our leave first." After getting the information he wanted, Yan Feng said to the waiter.

"Okay, please walk slowly, don't be impulsive." The waiter stood up and saluted.

After that, Yan Feng and the others went to the branch of the Governor's Palace, but they did not get more information. In desperation, everyone could only live in the dormitory on Zhushan Road first, ready to discuss the next countermeasures.
