Chapter 200: Three Unlucky Ghosts
Leonie Schmidt was originally a rising star among German admirals, having won a victory pocket watch and won the Naval Joint Exchange Competition in her graduation class. After entering the German Navy, it was also smooth sailing, a civilian girl, and was promoted to commodore in just five years, and the number of private ships under her command reached more than 30 at most.
The Navy's Rising Star originally had a bright future, but unfortunately, although the status of women in this world has improved a lot, they are still weaker after all. Young, beautiful and promising, Leonie Schmidt is facing the trouble of being forced into marriage. Many promising young men from the Admiralty waited in line for Leonie to choose, and Leonie, like most young girls, fell in love with a handsome young man.
Unfortunately, this lad was neither a nobleman, nor a promising admiral, or even a pure German.
The atmosphere of the German Navy in this world is still very important to the family background, to put it simply, such as Leonie, an excellent girl, should marry a surname Feng, the surname Feng can be high or low, and the two can develop and grow a family after forming a happy family.
But Leonie is a brave girl, and after she fell in love, she resolutely announced this relationship. Unsurprisingly, she was opposed by the whole world, either sincerely or with a purpose, and everyone around her persuaded her to seriously consider her emotional problems. Some even warned her.
Leonie is also stubborn, she feels that love is only about the feelings of both parties, and she doesn't want to mix too many interests. Choosing the other half should be picked by personality and temperament, not whether it is strong or not, as long as you work hard, your family can also be among the noble class in the future, and it is not difficult. So persuasion and warnings fall on deaf ears.
The girl played a big name and didn't act according to the script, so the director made a joke with her.
Germany had no territory outside of Europe, so every year the core source had to be hunted by going out to the North Sea to the Atlantic to destroy the deep-sea fleet. And the handsome admiral with a good temper and easy-going personality received the assignment of accompanying the team a few days before their engagement. It was the first time he had received such a mission, and he never returned.
Leonie's fiancé was tasked with scouting the fleet, searching for movements in the deep sea and providing a warning range for the main fleet. During a night watch, he spotted a large stream of deep sea and reported it in time.
His main fleet received a report and asked him to follow the deep-sea fleet until dawn, waiting for the support of carrier-based aircraft and capital ships. He didn't think much of it at the time and did so.
Reinforcements arrived, but it was two hours late, and Leonie's fiancé's fleet was wiped out.
Even Xu Zhonglin felt that there was something greasy in this, not to mention Leonie.
The young girl listened to the battle reports sent to her by her fiancé intermittently through the ship's mother from tens of thousands of nautical miles, and the whole person felt like crazy, and this kind of excitement was too great as witnessing it with her own eyes.
Enduring great grief, Leonie began to investigate the entire incident. In the face of ironclad facts, lies cannot be concealed, and they are quickly revealed. A 'young talent' from an aristocratic background, jealous of Leonie's fiancé, orchestrates the incident with his own hands.
Leonie's investigation revealed that the rear admiral commander of her fiancé's fleet deliberately reported the wrong coordinates to the Admiralty ship under his command, causing the plane to take off in the early morning to feel two hours late, and at this time, the fiancé was already cold.
His Excellency the Rear Admiral is in his thirties, and there are more than 30 private ship wives under his command, and his strength is not very strong, so it is a little embarrassing to rub into the position of the rear admiral. So this one wants to climb up very much, but the German Navy is still full, and it is difficult to go further without extraordinary ability.
But the family behind this is very large, and the old man in the family said that as long as he can win Leonie, he will ensure that the major general will be promoted within two years. The temptation was huge, so the previous one was also the most active in pursuing Leonie.
However, the goddess is getting engaged, the groom is not herself, her mentality collapsed, and then she went to the extreme.
This took advantage of his power to transfer the goddess's fiancé to his command, just a captain, and the two of them were in a position with a career line on the goddess's chest, so it was easy to get it, and then let Ya carry out the person with the highest mortality rate.
It's a pity that the fiancé was a little lucky, and he never died. Seeing that he was about to return, the major general was a little impatient and missed his feet.
When the fleet returned to port, Leonie led her shipwives to be fully armed, like a she-wolf who had lost her mate, and was ready to find the rear admiral desperately to assassinate him in the port. It's a pity that she is not the protagonist, and the major general has already received the news, so the port is extremely guarded. A blood revenge turns into a farce, as Leonie's group arrives at the harbor and is surrounded by a regiment of land forces, and is immediately disarmed and court-martialed for the purpose of assassinating the officer.
If convicted, this beautiful and lovely child is estimated to be killed. However, at this time, a group of 'righteous men' intervened, that is, the political enemies of the family of His Excellency the Major General. A tear between the bigwigs began.
In the end, Leonie was convicted that the brigadier had the right to arm herself, and that she did not fire a single shot, which was not considered an assassination, and she was acquitted. But the disheartened Commodore has lost her spirit, she realizes that she may never be able to avenge her fiancé, and she does not want to work with the enemy, so she resolutely submits an application for retirement and quits the German Navy.
But she is not the most unlucky, the two 'temporary workers' Xiao Hang' who have obtained the wrong information are, these two are the scapegoats pushed out by the family of His Excellency the Major General, lest anyone use this incident as an excuse to attack the Major General in the future.
The fate of the two little sail mothers is similar to that of Elena and Margaret, and the result of the ruling is a 'miscalculation' of military intelligence, which led to the destruction of a vigilant fleet, and the fault is so great that they are no longer suitable for service in the Admiralty, and they are forcibly discharged from the army.
Three unlucky children and more than 30 other shipwives came to live in Brussels together.
The two little mothers mentioned by the intelligence agent Charles Davis are these two. Now that the external environment in Germany is very bad, these two have returned to the vision of the Admiralty, but how to arrange it is still being debated. Returning to the Admiralty is tantamount to slapping the rear admiral's family in the face, and the other party will definitely try his best to stop it, which is unlikely.
According to Charles's own analysis, the most likely situation is to use it to win over a similar admiral like Xu Zhonglin, just like the ending of Elena and Margaret. So he took it upon himself to help Xu Zhonglin make an appointment with these three.
