ACT205: Kii the Witch

Jupiter's rings are refracted by the sun's rays due to their finer floats than Saturn's rings and shattered regions, creating a rainbow-like halo of light. This may seem like a great sight to the merchants of the past, but it is definitely the worst combat environment in the universe for a navy at war.

The dazzling halo not only severely affects the visibility here, but also disrupts and neutralizes the radar and radio, so Yamamoto Isoroku took advantage of this property of the star ring to hide the main force of the Combined Fleet. At this moment, in the Star Ring, a huge battleship was advancing at high speed under the arch of four destroyers. However, thanks to this severe "light pollution", they seem to be a little unable to distinguish between southeast and northwest.

"Xiao, haven't you found the main fleet yet? We can't be lost, right? ”

"It's fast, it's fast, it's fast, don't rush!"

"But according to the schedule, we should have joined the main force half an hour ago, if not, let Hibiki lead the way!"

"No Road Race!"

The Sixth Destroyer Fleet, consisting of four Fukiyuki-class Type III destroyers, Hibiki, Dawn, Thunder, and Den, was sent back to the colony by Yamamoto Isoroku a week ago to meet their "secret weapon" for the decisive battle of the fleet, that is, the battleship they are now escorting, which is larger than any Tier 4 battleship known to Japan at present.

In terms of the design concept of the battleship, the style of Datang is almost the same as that of the American imperialists, who are also local tyrants, and the balance of overall strength is more important than the high performance of a single ship. Japan, which has always regarded Datang as its first imaginary enemy, has embarked on a diametrically opposite path because of the limitations of its own industrial capacity and resources.

In 1922, with the signing of the "Washington Naval Treaty," Japan relieved itself of the heavy economic burden caused by the construction of its navy, and at the same time planned its own 88th Fleet and cut it into the "22nd" Fleet. Only Nagato, Mutsu, and Akagi and Kaga, which were converted into aircraft carriers, survived.

However, Japan here has a relationship with foreign colonies. Even if the war of aggression against China and the war reparations of the Manchu Qing were not launched, the problem of resource shortage was much better than that of oneself in another time and space.

Before the 88th Fleet was downsized, the two Nagato-class battleships had been completed, the Kaga-class battleships had begun sea trials, the second ship, Tosa, had been transferred to Europa, and was ready to be handed over to the new shipyard there to complete the final outfitting, and the Amagi-class battlecruisers had also entered the later stage. It is even rumored that construction has already begun on Kii-class battleships.

In view of this, many warships that are already half-finished products are so that the Japanese Navy cannot bear to disassemble them at all!

Under the influence of this emotion. The dismantling work of the Japanese side is neither efficient nor clean! The Amagi, which was damaged in the Great Kanto Earthquake, was disassembled into "spare parts" and properly preserved, and the Tosa, which was supposed to be used for targeting, was symbolically fired by the destroyer, and then announced that it was "delisted", and then the hull disappeared.

In the face of Japan's "little tricks," the treaty members have chosen to turn a blind eye to it for different purposes.

In 1925, Japanese intelligence agencies confirmed that Datang had two shipyards in Qingdao and Dalian, and at the same time began to build four new battleships codenamed "Heilongjiang class", which were found to be in terms of firepower, armor, and speed. The comprehensive overtaking of Japan's strongest Nagato-class battleships at that time shocked the Japanese side very much.

To this end, the Japanese Navy hopes to build new warships that can compete with it as soon as possible. However, at that time, Japan had just experienced the Great Kanto Earthquake, and the Japanese government, which was shy in its pocket, could not get so many votes, so it gritted its teeth and allocated 40 million yen to the navy. Let them figure it out for themselves.

In desperation, the Navy can only take this money that is less than half of the cost of the Nagato-class and use spare parts to fight a "super battleship"!

In this way, the Japanese Navy began a secret construction plan codenamed "Witch Reincarnation". They reactivated the Tosa's hull, which was hidden on a crater in the depths of the three oceans of Ganymede, and transported the Amagi's power system and the main guns dismantled from Kaga and Akagi to the colony to assemble new ships.

And in order to be able to overwhelm the Heilongjiang level in firepower. The Admiralty asked engineers to upgrade the turrets of the 410 guns from twin to triple and equip the new ship with 4 turrets for a total of 12 guns. Coupled with more space for the boilers, the secret shipyard had to extend the hull by another 18 meters.

This secretly built breach of contract ship was officially completed in 1935, and the Japanese engineers looked at the final data of this battleship and found it particularly familiar, so the chief engineer Hiraga Jean found the former Kii-class battleship from the dusty shipbuilding drawings, and compared the two boxes, and found that except for the main gun from 5 twin to 4 triple, all the other data were almost the same.

So this new battleship spelled out with "Tosa body" + "Amagi Heart" was officially named "Kii", and in order to ensure combat effectiveness, the Japanese royal family also allocated a 60,000-ton high-level god core to this battleship, which ranked 7th in the country.

New. The standard displacement row of the Kii is 43,000 tons, the length is 250 meters, the width is 30.8 meters, it is equipped with 4 triple 410mm main guns, the main armor belt on the side is 280mm, and under the assimilation of the godless core, the surface speed is 30 knots, and it needs to be equipped with 1800 crew members.

Regardless of the actual combat performance of this groupage? At least Yamamoto Isoroku believes that her appearance will bring enough courage to the officers and men of the Combined Fleet!

While the four elementary school students were worried about not being able to find the main fleet, the Celestial Maiden of the Kii was not in a hurry at all.

The other party, like most ship girls, likes to stay on the deck during space voyages, and Kii is sitting on turret No. 1 with his legs crossed at the moment, closing his eyes and humming a little tune with a strange rhythm. However, unlike the "radio wave transmission" used by the Celestial Maiden for space communication, Kii's singing voice not only comes from her own throat, but can also be heard clearly by all the crew members on her ship.

But all the crew members who heard her singing were dazed and wooden at the moment, like marionettes, mechanically doing their work, and the cabin was quiet.

"Huh...... It seems that human fragility is not only physical, but also mental! ”

The corners of his mouth curled up with a mocking bewitching smile, Kii, who was known as the "witch", stopped humming, and the 1,800 sailors on the ship suddenly regained their senses, as if standing still time suddenly resumed flowing, but no one noticed their previous anomaly. And in their memory, the previous more than 1 hour did not disappear out of thin air, but they just can't remember it a little! (To be continued......)

PS: Originally, I was going to release the Amagi, but the Amagi-class was not a good ship, and Tosa's name was very disliked, so I simply asked them to "merge" and make an overhead Kii-class, and in addition, her triple cannon was the prototype of Yamato. I'm the equivalent of adding a transitional product before Nagato and Yamato.

In addition, Dandong is cloudless and windless today, just like a special steamer! Sitting in front of the computer to code words, the feeling of back, ASS and thighs is estimated to be as tormenting as the batter of pancake fruit, I can't wait to kneel yard!
