In a victorious stance, Zhao appeared in front of more than 6,000 Japanese prisoners with a seemingly mysterious silver mask, announcing to them the good news that he was about to be repatriated.

At first, the captives did not believe Zhao's words, and it was not until the restored Longxiang and the unscathed Xuefeng appeared in front of them that they gave a slight reaction to the trust. An old soldier stood up and walked out of the crowd, holding his hands high and walking towards Zhao Jian.

The other party looked to be about 50 years old, although he was only wearing a crotch cloth, but his waist was still standing straight, and his gestures revealed a temperament that only an officer can have. As soon as Ji Yi, who was also wearing a mask, saw this person, he immediately leaned into Zhao Jian's ear and whispered to him the identity of the other party.

"His name is Inoue Narumi, and he is an old friend of Isoroku Yamamoto and Mitsumasa Yonechi."

With Zhao Jian's nod and permission, Inoue Narumi walked in front of him. As soon as the other party came up, he gave a respectful 90-degree bow, thanking Zhao Jian for helping their defeated enemies. The other party's gratitude without fraud suddenly raised Zhao Jian's impression of him by a notch.

So Zhao Jian stretched out his hand and called Di Rui and asked him to bring Inoue Chengmei's military uniform and command knife, and then return them to the other party with his own hands. After Inoue Narumi took the clothes and the command knife, she asked with a puzzled expression.

"What do you mean, Your Excellency?"

"It doesn't mean anything else, you're a high-ranking military officer, and you deserve better."

"Are you really going to let us go?"

"Of course! I'm a man who always counts. General Inoue, you and I are both soldiers, real warriors are good at killing but not thirsty for killing, and my army is not the kind of army composed of murderers. ”

In the face of Zhao Jian's righteous and awe-inspiring words, Inoue Chengmei was shocked at first, and then showed a look of admiration, and the other party bowed again and said with a sincere sigh.

“…… To be defeated by an opponent like you, I am really convinced! ”

Got Zhao Jian's permission. Inoue Narumi quickly found the sailors of the two ships Xuefeng and Long Xiang from the captives and prepared to set sail, and then selected a group of officers to be responsible for organizing the work. They divided the captives into two batches, 1,233 and 5,000, and stuffed them onto the Xuefeng and Longxiang respectively, both of which were overcrowded.

Especially in the hangar of the Longxiang, in order to install as many people as possible, Zhao Jian asked Xia Weier to add an extra layer of hanging nets to it during maintenance, and then forced more than 3,000 semi-naked men into it. The scene of canned sardines is reminiscent of the African slave carriers of the past.

Fortunately, the captives did not complain much about this, and as long as they could return to their families alive, no one complained about this crime at all.

It took more than three hours. All the Japanese prisoners were crammed into the cabin, and the two ships were slowly transported out of Star Castle by Shavier. Inoue Narumi, who escaped death, stood on the deck of the Dragon Castle, looking at the sci-fi interior space of Star Castle, and her heart was full of emotion.

"Gentlemen, although we have been defeated, this is an admirable opponent!"

"General Inoue, what if they go back on their word?"

"No, if the other party really wanted to kill us, they wouldn't have fished us out of that 'waterless sea' in the first place. Could it be that it took so much effort just to kill us again? ”

Soon, two warships loaded with remnants sailed out of the Star Fort, and as soon as they recovered their independence, they smeared oil on the soles of their feet and fled with their legs. looks like they are in a hurry to run for their lives. After Zhao Jian sent away these lost dogs, the next thing was the time for the celebration banquet that the people of Star Castle liked to see!

This battle was the first time since the establishment of the Star Fort Fleet that it had achieved a complete victory against the national army. For those American and French soldiers living on the Star Fort, this was the first major victory in the anti-fascist war. The meaning can be described as more important.

In particular, the French sailors on the Richelieu were already ruined in the true sense of the word compared to the United States, which had not yet been hit on their homeland. So after the battle. Many people are relieved of their long-suppressed depression, so they are overjoyed.

Even after returning to Hong Kong, Richelieu jumped up and gave Zhao Jian a warm kiss despite the distractions of the people around him. The adultery between the two was officially exposed, leaving the French people dumbfounded.

The official celebration banquet was scheduled to be held in the port area a week later, and Zhao was not carried away by the victory in front of him, knowing that fleet preparation was the first priority at the moment. However, the large-scale celebration banquet that everyone can participate in cannot be held for a while, and the small drinking party is not a big problem.

The ship's ladies held a celebration party on their territory that night, and Zhao Jian, as the admiral, was naturally invited. However, on the way to participate, Zhao Jian ran into Sichuan and Qinghai in the park viewing area. The two set up a table of wine and food that looked like sacrifices on a terrace, and Zhao Jian understood at a glance that they were comforting the spirits of those "old comrades-in-arms" in the sky.

At this time, Sister Chuan noticed Zhao Jian passing by, and waved at him with a smile and shouted.

"Yo roar! Isn't this the Admiral's little brother, do you want to come over and have a drink together? ”

It's better to meet by chance, since Zhao Jian has met him, he naturally can't just leave. Sister Chuan immediately poured another glass of fragrant liquor and handed it to Zhao Jian, and the three of them invariably spilled the first glass of wine on the ground, and then were silent for a moment in the direction of Jupiter.

"Honestly, little brother...... I thank you. ”

"Where, I'm going to thank you."

"I'm not good at saying those beautiful words, anyway, I'll be your person in the future."

"Uh...... Sister, is your words a bit ambiguous? ”

"Haha, of course! If you want me to sleep with you, you'd better tell me about it to your face. Your eldest sister and I'm a rough girl, those who are in love, love, and gods, I can't play it. ”

"Poof...... Sister, do you want to be so straightforward!? ”

Being a little embarrassed by Sister Chuan's heroism, Zhao Jian subconsciously raised his glass and took a sip, but he didn't expect the wine in the cup to be unexpectedly strong, Zhao Jian was caught off guard and choked on a mouthful, and suddenly coughed and even tears came out, Sister Sichuan couldn't help but laugh when she saw this.

Zhao Jian coughed for a long time, but finally relieved himself, patted his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief. At this time, he inadvertently noticed that on the shore of the landscape lake directly opposite the terrace, it seemed that someone was putting river lanterns. The other party was dressed in black, and his steps were small and slow, and he looked like he was wearing a kimono.

Zhao Jian looked at the vague back, was silent thoughtfully for a moment, and quickly guessed the identity of the person who put the lamp. (To be continued......)
