Senior General Muta of the General Staff also spoke. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"General Nagumo, awarded the rank of Brigadier General Roy, is a three-level promotion. This is already the fastest single promotion record in the history of the Navy. If a higher rank is awarded, I am afraid it is not in accordance with the convention. Anyway, he is still young, and it is not a big deal to be promoted to a general-level officer a year or two later. With his ability, sooner or later he will be on our footing. However, in other respects, compensation can be appropriately given. A little more bonuses, a little more resources, and the medals awarded to him can be upgraded from the first-class Medal of Honor to the Special Seagod Medal......"

General Mutla's plan was more compromised, and Marshal Liu Huaqin listened to it and nodded secretly. He began: "I generally agree with Mutera's suggestion, but the details need to be worked out. Major Lowy's ability is beyond doubt, and his exploits are enough to go down in history. However, he was too young, his qualifications were too shallow, and his grades in the military academy that year were mediocre. If you are promoted too quickly, it is not good, and you need to sharpen and sharpen more. ”

"A real gem that doesn't need to be sharpened to shine. And Roy is such a gem. General Li Chenglong said.

"Lao Li, do you disagree with me?" Marshal Liu Huaqin asked.

"Nope. I agree. It's just that my reason is not that Roy is too young and needs to accumulate more qualifications. Senior General Li Chenglong said, "According to the Navy Regulations of the League of Nations, admirals who are promoted to the rank of general will no longer be stationed in overseas anchorages, but will be stationed in a certain governor's palace and implement a mobile rotation defense system." The purpose of this is to enable the military department to have a combat force that can be quickly and flexibly mobilized to deal with unexpected situations. ”

For example, General Nagumo Zhongyi was sent from the Wu Governor's Mansion to Truk Po to assist in the defense after the Intelligence Department discovered that there was frequent activity in the deep sea in the central Pacific Ocean three months ago.

It is precisely because of the difference in the use of troops that every admiral and the fleet under his command are strong enough to take charge of themselves and have no shortcomings.

Although Roy's fleet has a powerful Musashi, the other ships are light cruisers or expulsions.

Although theoretically speaking, as long as you have a capital ship-level ship under your command, you can be promoted to rear admiral. But now all the rear admirals of the League of Nations Navy, in addition to at least one capital ship, also have many heavy cruisers, light air carrier-level backbones, as well as a large number of light ships, and even submarine forces, or roadbed goblin air force.

In comparison, Roy's strength is still too thin.

"If the fleet under Major Roy is larger, the capital ships are more numerous. Even if he were ten years younger, I would have promoted him to be a major general. General Li Chenglong said.

"Yes, Major Roy's fleet is still a little thin......," Admiral Nagumo sighed. Now that everyone else is on the same page, there's no point in going against it yourself.

"Okay, since everyone has agreed on it, then that's it......" Before the word "decision" in Marshal Liu Huaqin's mouth was spoken, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who?"

"I'm Major Song Yixin of the Personnel Supervision Department. I just received a report from a colleague in the Japanese branch that a ship girl has awakened! ”

"Come in." Marshal Liu Huaqin said.

The awakening of the ship's mother is not a big deal. But what can be reported to the marshal is definitely the awakening of a capital ship-class ship that can greatly enhance the strength of the League of Nations Navy.

Major Song Yixin, who had neat short hair, walked into the conference room. Seeing that many navy bigwigs were there, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Especially Admiral Nagumo Zhongyi, that is the idol in the hearts of these female navies!

"Major Song, let's talk about the details."

"Ah, yes!" Major Song Yixin came back to his senses and said in a little panic, "The location of the Awakening Ship Niang is Nara City, Kyoto Prefecture, named Kuju Sakurako, 23 years old, after graduating from university, she began to help her parents run the family heirloom hot spring inn......"

"Admiral Nagumo, did Nara City belong to the Yamato Kingdom of the ancient kingdoms of Japan before?"

Nanyun Zhongyi didn't know why Marshal Liu Huaqin suddenly asked this, but she still replied, "Yes." ”

Marshal Liu Huaqin's heart moved: "Could it be...... What is the type of ship of this newly awakened ship girl? ”

Major Song Yixin's tone suddenly became excited: "Your Excellency Marshal, it's the first ship of the Yamato-class battleship, Yamato!" ”

Rao has been through the storm for a long time, and several navy bigwigs in the conference room couldn't help but be moved when they heard the news. Admiral Xiao Fei even stood up excitedly: "God bless the navy!" God bless the Navy! In the nearly 100 years since the appearance of the ship's mother, no Yamato-class battleship has been created, and now in less than a month, it has gathered together! ”

Nanyun Zhongyi suddenly showed a strange smile and looked at Song Yixin: "Major, which admiral was lucky enough to get Yamato?" It can't be Major Lowy, right? ”

Major Song Yixin looked at his idol in surprise, and opened his mouth widely: "Your Excellency, are you like the Pope, can you predict the future?" The Admiral who obtained Yamato was indeed Major Roy of Palau Podi! ”

Several navy bigwigs glanced at each other and were speechless for a long time.

Just now, on the grounds of the weakness of the Roy fleet, it was decided to award him only the rank of brigadier general. As a result, when they turned their heads, they put together the two sisters.

It's a bit embarrassing.

After Major Song Yixin left, Marshal Liu Huaqin coughed dryly and said, "Well, that, let's discuss the promotion of Major Lowy......

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside the conference room.

"Who is it?"

"I'm Major Daisuke Takasaka of the Personnel Inspection Department. Not long ago, a ship mother woke up, and it was the armored air mother Dafeng! ”

…………

Fifteen minutes later, the entire conference room fell into an eerie silence.

General Xiao Fei sat slumped in his chair, as if his strength had been hollowed out. He muttered, "What the hell is that kid?" Do you eat lucky four-leaf clover for three meals a day? Otherwise, how could there be such good luck? I'm convinced. ”

The others shook their heads with a wry smile, and they had to write the word "suit" from the bottom of their hearts about Roy's luck.

In just fifteen minutes, the news of the awakening of the four ship girls.

The battleship Yamato, the armored air carrier Daho, the large air mother Xianghe and Zuizuru.

Whole! All! Be! Roy's command!

If they knew that Roy had actually added five rare light ships to his command, among which the destroyer Kasumi still had the potential to change two, I don't know what kind of reaction it would be.

Admiral Li Chenglong coughed lightly and said: "Now Major Luo Yi's fleet has at least five capital ship-class ships, and I amend my previous statement, the rank of brigadier general is not enough to match his ability and merits." ”

General Nagumo smiled bitterly and said, "Before the Holy Construction Day arrived, Major Roy made such a big news, which is really unexpected. ”

Senior General Xiao Fei felt the same way. Both he and General Nagumo were admirals and knew the importance of the Holy Founding Day. For the upcoming Holy Founding Day, they are not only desperately stockpiling resources during this time, but also often go to the temple to pray.

According to the grapevine, in order to show his sincerity and pray for good luck, General Xiao Fei donated all of his salary to the temple for a month, and the cigarettes he smoked in the past few days have dropped by three grades.

Marshal Liu Huaqin was about to announce the continuation of the meeting when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Who?!"

Even if there is self-cultivation and is interrupted one after another, the face of the marshal is about to be unbearable.

"Deputy Director of the General Directorate of Naval Research, Giovanni. He asked to speak to you immediately with the marshal......"

"It's that old guy......" Marshal Liu Huaqin smiled helplessly.

Giovanni is old, has a transcendent status, and has a friendship with Marshal Liu Huaqin for more than 30 years.

"Old man Liu, I heard that you are convening a meeting to decide the promotion of Major Roy?"

"That's right. But this is a personnel issue in the Navy, and it has nothing to do with your Research Bureau. ”

"I'm just telling you that Major Roy has newly invented a heat treatment process that can process the special steel used by the ship's mother, so that the metal surface forms a single crystal network structure, which greatly strengthens the stiffness, strength, hardness, ablation resistance, and oxidation resistance...... The barrel made with this process perfectly compensated for the shortcomings of my Italian artillery strong charge technology. Think about it, old man Liu, what kind of situation is it for the entire navy to be equipped with new naval guns with more than 20% increase in firepower and range, but no reduction in accuracy and service life? Moreover, this technology can be applied to other areas as well......"

Giovanni's series of data and jargon made Marshal Liu Huaqin a little dizzy. He asked directly, "Having said so much, what is your purpose?" ”

"Humph! I'll tell you, Old Man Liu. You'd better not treat a once-in-a-century talent like Major Lowy. Otherwise, our research bureau will spend 20% of its annual budget, and we will snatch him over! ”

Ignoring the reaction of the marshal on the other end, Director Giovanni hung up the phone.

The glasses female assistant on the side asked, "Professor, do you really want to use 20% of the budget of the General Research Bureau to dig into the corners of the Navy?" ”

"Of course not. Don't look at my guys, who are usually just polite and nerds who take three steps back when the wind blows, but when they compete for a budget, they are so fierce that they can tear the deep sea. If I do spend 20% of my budget on recruiting Roy, I'll have to be impeached the next day. What's more, if a promising and powerful admiral is asked to conduct research, the navy will never agree, and the government will interfere. ”

"And why are you doing that?"

"It's just a small favor for the young man. With my help, what rank will the Admiralty give Roy a promotion? Professor Giovanni smiled slyly and happily.

While the Navy bigwigs have a headache over Roy's promotion, the parties live a leisurely and contented life.

Aside from the fact that he would spare six hours a day to study spells, Roy's life didn't change much.

On the third day after the second fishing trip, Roy woke up and habitually turned on his computer to find unread letters in his personal mailbox.

On closer inspection, the sender turned out to be Lieutenant Colonel Li of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"I don't have a personal relationship with him. If it is an official letter, it should also be sent to the official mailbox. ”

Roy speculated as he opened the email.

"Senior Colonel Ernest has been arrested for taking bribes and will be court-martialed at a later date. I've found some information that may be of interest to you. ”
