Zeppelin leaned against the side of the boat, looking at the small islands looming over the horizon in the distance, and the seagulls hovering above them, holding a somewhat old photograph in her hand.

The figure in the photo is the pride of Germany... Bismarck-class battleships.

The brilliance of the battleship Bismarck can almost sum up the entire history of World War II, and it is definitely a well-known battleship that belongs to everyone in the world.

And the same is true of the ship's mother who inherited the name of Bismarck and appeared in this world as a girl.

The battleship Bismarck, which once repelled countless deep-sea fleets and established outstanding military exploits, can be said to be an existence that almost all German shipwrecks admire very much.

Including her......

It's just a little different that the other shipwives can only look at Bismarck from a distance with admiration and never have a chance to really get close to her, but... She does.

More than a decade ago, when deep-sea habitats were still wreaking havoc on the German coast, she was Bismarck's aide-de-camp, and Bismarck was her mentor......

It was a memory she was reluctant to recall.

The ship she inherited was named Count Zeppelin, the only German aircraft carrier during World War II, but unfortunately, this aircraft carrier did not have its name engraved in history after several legendary battles like the battleship Bismarck.

The Count Zeppelin was a failure from the very beginning, and after the construction of this aircraft carrier, it remained in the harbor without participating in a single battle in the true sense of the word, and finally even her name was forgotten, and it was discovered after sleeping in the sea at a depth of more than 200 meters for nearly half a century.

The Count Zeppelin is not one that exists only in fantasy, but only in history. But there are no physical drawings of the ship... Rather, it is an aircraft carrier that has really been built and has appeared in this world.

So she inherited the name Count Zeppelin, born in this world, she does not have the same young appearance and the same young mind as those drawing ships, she has her own ideas, and her mental age is no different from that of an ordinary aircraft carrier mother.

But the only difference is that. She has no combat experience, unlike other ship girls, from the moment she was born, she used the ship's guns to aim at the enemy, and controlled the carrier-based aircraft to pass over the enemy fleet to carry out a devastating air attack... These things should be the instinct of the ship's mother, and she doesn't know anything about them at all.

So much so that when she first walked on the sea, she lost her balance and fell into the sea because she couldn't control her ship's outfit.

She couldn't even do the basics of how to navigate the sea. Not to mention fighting as an aircraft carrier mother.

That incompetent look, even if Zeppelin thinks about it now, still can't accept it, the side of the ship made a slight twisting sound, and the unwilling emotion in her heart made her unconsciously increase the strength to hold the side of the ship.

These... It's all in the past.

Zeppelin let go of his grip on the ship's side and took one last look at the photograph.

Not only the German military, but even Zeppelin wanted to give up such an incompetent self and decompose the ship's armor back to the identity of ordinary people. But after she met Bismarck, everything changed.

The time when he served as an adjutant to Bismarck. Bismarck has been teaching her how to use the ship's uniform as a mentor, including the most basic how to sail on the sea, which she only fully learned during her time as Bismarck's lieutenant.

Bismarck behaved very strictly when he got along with her, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as harsh.

In her memory, she was never recognized by Bismarck in the true sense of the word. Every training session can be described as a miserable failure.

Is that all you have to do? ’

The decomposition plant is there, so if you want to give up, you can climb over by yourself. ’

That's the limit of failure! ’

These words that Bismarck had once said to her still seemed to echo in her ears to this day, and the battleship was the pride of Germany, with a power far superior to her. No matter how much she tried to prove herself to Bismarck, in Bismarck's eyes, she seemed to be just a waste ship that couldn't even do basic sailing.

Therefore, he wanted to be recognized by Bismarck, so that the idea of surpassing Bismarck quietly appeared in Zeppelin's heart in the extremely demanding training again and again.

Wanting to be praised and recognized, she was also Germany's shipwreck, Germany's only aircraft carrier, and Zeppelin was unwilling to be like her past, sleeping at the bottom of the sea and decaying for nearly half a century, before she was finally remembered.

She did succeed, her current status in Germany can be said to be completely equal to Bismarck, and many new shipwives in Germany also regard her as the same goal to strive for, she has been recognized by Germany, and has become the object of admiration by other shipwives.

But... However, she has never been recognized by Bismarck, because Bismarck has never given her a chance to prove herself, and whenever she challenges Bismarck, the result is a fiasco...... No matter how high her training level is improved, and how skilled she is in the control of the ship's equipment, she will never have any chance of winning when facing Bismarck.

The word "failure" has always been Bismarck's name for her.

Not willing to stay there, Bismarck removed her as his lieutenant after she took full control of her ship's outfit, and the German military sent her to another theater of operations to fight the bathyscaping fleet as commander.

This time of departure is a full few years, in these years, she has become more powerful, the training has completely exceeded the level of 100, reaching the level of the hero ship, but when she returned to China again to prove to Bismarck that she was not a failure, she got the news that Bismarck had left Germany.

She asked the others where Bismarck was going, but to no avail, as if the battleship, which had performed countless feats for all of Germany, had completely disappeared in one night.

It was a chaotic era, trampled by the deep sea to a desolate world, and the ocean had long been occupied by the deep sea, so it was very difficult to find a lost shipwreck, not to mention that Bismarck chose to leave Germany on his own initiative.

Coupled with the fact that Germany had been hiding Bismarck's whereabouts from her, she gradually put this name and the unwillingness of the past into the deepest part of her memory and was no longer mentioned.

Until today... Hearing the name of the Admiral whispering in her ear, she fully remembered the feeling of unwillingness in her heart.

The next time we meet, I'll definitely beat your childish thoughts, which were gone a few years ago.

It was enough for Zeppelin to believe that he was now better than Bismarck, in any way. (To be continued......)
