The Doolittle air raid shook Japan like a storm sweeping across the country, and the people once again showed their ability to add to the chaos. Some newspapers and media with a background in the Sixth Army openly questioned the Navy's defense strategy and exerted pressure on them by taking advantage of public opinion.

In desperation, the navy had no choice but to put forward its battle plan in a big way under pressure from all quarters. Neither the maintenance of the Xianghe nor the replenishment of the pilots of the Zuihe could be completed in advance of the operation. After all, IJN's doesn't have the perverted maintenance capabilities of Starburg, and pilots can't be replaced by automatic AI.

As a veteran of the battlefield, Yamamoto Fifty-six naturally knew how unprepared would have an adverse impact on the battle situation, but it was difficult to disobey the king's fate, and the matter had come to this point, so the fleet could only bite the bullet.

Looking at the battle schedule, Yamamoto now has very limited time left for them. Excluding the time spent preparing for the war against the United States in June, they could squeeze out two weeks at most to gnaw the hard bone in the Shattered Star Zone.

Yamamoto meditated in the office for two days and two nights, but in the end he didn't come up with a solution, and his depression was so depressed that he figured it out. Go to his mother's battle plan, go to his grandmother's preparation time, and have this time to ponder these doomed and impossible problems, it is better to go home and have a reunion dinner with his wife and children!

So, with the idea that "there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain", Yamamoto Fifty-six took off his military uniform and changed into civilian clothes, and hummed a little song and went home under the stunned eyes of the guards of the Navy Province. As a result, as soon as Yamamoto arrived home, he saw that his daughter Masako had also returned.

The father and daughter met unexpectedly at the door of the house, and the two were stunned for a moment, and then they both laughed.

Since Masako was sent to the Etajima Naval Academy by Yamamoto, there have been few times when the Yamamoto family has been as neat as it is now. For this reason, Mrs. Yamamoto personally cooked and prepared a table of good dishes, and Yamamoto Fifty-six was happy, but also couldn't help but care about her daughter's recent situation.

Calculating her age, Masako is about to be 21 this year, and most Japanese girls at this age are already married. Some may even have children. But Yamamoto Isoroku also knows that Masako has a royal marriage contract on her body, and unless His Majesty the Emperor takes the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, Masako cannot find a new boyfriend.

This is also a question that Yamamoto has always felt very annoyed in his heart. Anyone who knows the inside story knows that Hirohito doesn't like Masako, and the two meet mostly because of the perfunctory behavior of the shadow warriors, which is a very rude act for the woman, but the Yamamoto family can't complain to the emperor.

Yamamoto Fifty-six initially hoped to drag the marriage in advance, until Hirohito got impatient. So that the other party can take the initiative to dissolve the marriage. At that time, the reputation of the Yamamoto family will be damaged a little, and it will be better than burying his daughter's happiness for a lifetime. But as time went on, Yamamoto himself underestimated Hirohito a little.

For a long time, Hirohito gave the impression of the ministers around him was a quick temper, and he wanted to do everything overnight, but in the matter of the marriage contract with Masako, the other party had a rare "patience".

Hirohito doesn't like Masako, the second emperor refuses to let go of the marriage contract while hooking up with several famous ladies of the five families at the same time. All kinds of lace scandals have been common.

Even last year, there were rumors that Hirohito even had an illegitimate child, and promised to marry the child's mother as the imperial princess, but the marriage had to wait until the end of the war in the future. Nominally, it is for the sake of the country's social service. But in fact, it was Hirohito who wanted to disgust the Yamamoto family for a few more years.

Yamamoto saw these things very clearly, and Masako also knew it in his heart, but since it was a rare family reunion, the father and daughter tacitly did not talk about these unhappy things in front of the family.

"Father. I heard Mr. Hiraga say that the military department wanted to speed up the construction of the Musashi so that it could participate in the next war against the United States together with the newly commissioned Yamato. Is the war on the front line so urgent? ”

"Masako, don't talk about these official matters at home, you have been home less often than my father and mine in recent years, and your mother and younger siblings miss you very much. Let's have some fun! Do you want to make a bet with my father that your mother's main dish today must be tuna sashimi. ”

“…… Father, I bought an anglerfish. ”

"Uh......"

At dusk, the smell of anglerfish pot wafted from the dining room of Yamamoto's house, but just as Yamamoto was about to take the lead in moving chopsticks, the doorbell suddenly rang.

The youngest sister hurriedly got up and ran to open the door to greet her, and soon brought in two beautiful older sisters. Masako looked up and saw that it was Akagi and Kaga, the two ship girls. The two of them were on their last shift before the war, so they came to visit the old chief's family with gifts.

As soon as Mrs. Yamamoto saw Akagi, her originally soft gaze suddenly became sharp, and one hand unconsciously clasped the rice pot, and the other hand clenched the rice shovel.

Among the pilots of the First Air Battle, there is a common joke with a threatening nature, called "Believe it or not, I asked Miss Akagi to go to your house for dinner." When Isoroku Yamamoto was the captain of the Akagi, Mrs. Yamamoto had the privilege of learning the horror of this joke once it came true.

Seeing Mrs. Yamamoto's nervous appearance as if she was facing a great enemy, Kaga hurriedly explained.

"Mrs. Yamamoto, we've had dinner at the town guard's house."

Aside from the amount of food, the Yamamoto family doesn't hate the two shipwives of the First Voyage War, Masako has seen them since she was very young, and they can be said to be old friends with each other. The arrival of the two also added a joyful atmosphere to the already lively Yamamoto family.

After dinner, Mrs. Yamamoto smiled and took care of the work of cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and Yamamoto Fifty-six sat on the porch with Masako and Kaga, watching Akagi and the children catch fireflies in the yard. At this time, Kaga put down the teacup in his hand and suddenly asked Yamamoto Fifty-six on the side.

"General Yamamoto, is it true that the battle will be advanced to the beginning of May?"

"Kaga, the military department hasn't made a final decision yet. If you dragged Akagi to my house to inquire about the inside information, then I have no comment. ”

"It's too messy! It is clearly a war that affects the fate of the entire country, and every step should be done with caution, so how can you disrupt your own pace for the sake of the emperor's momentary anger? ”

Kaga, who usually speaks in a calm and concise tone, has a rare expression of anxious feelings. It was only yesterday that she heard rumors from the staff that the combat time would be advanced, so she deliberately took advantage of her vacation to come to Yamamoto's house to inquire about the news.

From Yamamoto's attitude of deliberately avoiding talking about it, Kaga already understands that the rumors are true!

"General, if we really advance the operation to May, we will have more than thirty percent of the fleet unable to participate in the operation, let alone complete preparations. This is a wrong move, and you will lose the whole game! ”

"Kaga, sometimes...... It is true that the order may be wrong, but as a royal man, there is certainly nothing wrong with the act of executing the order. ”

Kaga doesn't think he understands everything, and Yamamoto Fifty-six won't understand. But when she saw the helplessness in the other party's eyes, she suddenly realized that the person she didn't understand was actually herself.

Although ship girls have the same self-consciousness and emotions as humans, they still seem too simple in many cases. The sinister and complex nature of human society, with only the knowledge base in their brains, to fully understand it, it takes not only time, but also corresponding talent.

Don't look at Kaga's service in the navy for almost 13 years, but the relatively monotonous military life has not added much to her life experience. Just like the dispute between the two armies of the Sea of Japan 6, she only knows that the two sides do not like each other, but she does not know what the reason behind this phenomenon is.

After being silent for a while, Kaga silently took another sip of the teacup and did not continue to ask. Yamamoto Fifty-six also acted as if nothing had been born just now, only Masako's face was full of complexity.

At this time, Akagi, who was playing with the child, noticed that two naval officers were walking towards this side not far away, and when the other party arrived at the door, he came in at the signal of Yamamoto and whispered a few words in the other person's ear. Yamamoto couldn't help but turn pale, and hurriedly asked the other party.

"Where are the people?"

"It's all in the hands of the super high school class, and Tojo is going to use them to make a big news!" (To be continued!)
