June 13th is definitely a day to celebrate for the combined Japanese-Italian forces in the Shattered Star Zone! Because of their unremitting efforts, Caesar finally found the ore they had been looking for when he scanned the 1,000th asteroid. The commanders of both coalition forces were delighted by this exciting news, and the Italian commander proposed to celebrate with a party before the mine was officially opened.

What the US General Assembly lacked was that due to the limited space, the party was limited to important figures such as officers and senior engineers from both sides, and ordinary soldiers could only enjoy one additional meal with limited conditions, and those North Korean coolies who were forcibly brought in were even worse. Not only did they not add food, they did not even have a day off.

In order to alleviate the logistical pressure, Japanese engineers asked Commander Norihide Abe to take local materials from the iron ore asteroid. Due to the lack of resources in Japan and its colonies, Japan once had the idea of obtaining industrial raw materials from the Shattered Star Zone. But as with other countries, limited space capacity and poor environment make mining difficult.

For this reason, the Japanese learned from the brains of the Americans and built a kind of "furnace ship" converted from a large cargo ship. There is a full set of smelting equipment on it, as long as a few more logistics ships carrying coal are followed, it is a mobile mini-smelter, which can be smelted directly in the Shattered Star Zone.

It's a pity that the Japanese later found that the cost-effectiveness ratio of the practical application of this thing is not as good as that of pulling ore back to China for smelting, not only the little transportation capacity saved is all taken up by the coal carrier, but the reliability of the furnace ship is also worrying. To support the industrial development of the entire country of Japan in such an unreliable way is simply a dream.

However, although this plan was not approved by the National Assembly, two furnace ships were built, and they have not been dismantled as a technical reserve. The engineers who had been involved in the development of the two ships had brought those two ships here, and if those two ships were there, they wouldn't have to have to transport all the materials they used to build their mining base from Calmede all the way to this side.

It is for this seemingly feasible plan. 5,000 North Korean coolies are digging on an asteroid without gravity at the cost of 7~10 deaths per day. In the eyes of the Japanese, these Korean laborers were outright cheap consumables, and the army doctors would rather sleep in idleness than care about the lives of the wounded and sick miners, let alone use their precious medicines.

This qiē was seen in Edda's eyes, and her impression of these Asian allies was getting worse and worse.

"Marco! I thought that the exploitation of North Africa was cruel enough, but compared to the way the Japanese treated those Korean laborers, it was a drop in the bucket! ”

"Eda baby, we'd better not get involved in these Asian things. It's enough to take care of ourselves. Try this evening dress, it's sure to look sexy on you! ”

As the Italian giant's driver, the prime minister's daughter, and the foreign minister's wife, Eda must attend a party like this one with a diplomatic nature, and she didn't even have the right to refuse. Marco was so eager for this kind of event that Edda even wanted him to attend in his place.

Changed into the purple low-cut evening dress that Marco had chosen for himself, and then put on a simple makeup, looking at himself in the mirror, Eda was not happy at all. She knows very well that she is not in the country where singing and dancing is leveling. Rather, in the treacherous Shattered Star Zone, God knows how many enemies lurk in the asteroid belt that even the Titan Soldier's scanning power can't see.

Edda wanted to attend in a military uniform, but the commander sent her to Andrea and give her a few tuxedos. and told her to dress up beautifully, and never lose face in Italy. The other party is a world friend of her uncle's generation, and he has always taken care of himself, and Eda has no choice but to do so.

After Eda dresses up. He hid in the locker room and chatted with Marco, who fantasized that he could fall in love with the young handsome brother at first sight, until someone knocked on the door.

"Miss Edda, I'm Andrea. Can I come in? ”

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

As soon as he heard the female voice outside the door, without waiting for the other party to report his name, Edda knew that it was the flagship Andrea. The Celestial Maiden of the Doria. Before the cutting-edge Veneto class officially entered service, Andrea was still the flagship of the Italian Navy, and Edda, as the daughter of Prime Minister Mussolini, naturally knew each other for a long time.

When the hatch opened, a young girl with a long ponytail walked in from outside. The other party looks to be only about 14 years old, with a delicate and cute baby face. Although the figure is quite material, the fly in the ointment is that the head is too short, and it is estimated that he can only reach the other party's shoulders when standing with the tall Edda. If you don't specifically emphasize it, it won't be believeable that this little girl will be the goddess of battleships!

In fact, the Italian Navy's "Little Girl Battleship" can be regarded as a relatively famous "naval celebrity" in the world. Just like Japan's poor milk King Kong, they are all alternative storage in the "Capital Ship Club" full of many big-breasted royal sisters.

It is worth mentioning that the hull of the other side was built during the First World War, and although the original standard displacement was only 22,956 tons, five turrets were forced on! 3 triple and 2 twin guns, a total of 13 305mm main guns, simply the number of tubes is only one less than the famous "Seven Turret Divine Cult" Agincourt.

However, after modernization, the triple turret in the middle of the hull was removed to add a new boiler and chimney, and a turret with poor range was exchanged for a decent speed increase. And this operation in the Shattered Star Zone is Andrea's first mission after completing the transformation.

Andrea, who was also dressed in fancy clothes, came in and saw Edda, who had already changed into her evening dress, and nodded with satisfaction. However, when she noticed that the other party was bigger than her (taller) in terms of height and breasts, the corners of her mouth twitched unconsciously, and then she coughed lightly and said.

"The Commander thought you'd make a fuss! It seems that he is overhearted. ”

"Has the prom started?"

"Ten minutes to go, we should be on deck just right."

Led by Andrea, Edda made his way to the foredeck where the ball was held, where the costumed beauties, one big and one small, attracted the attention of the sailors along the way. Andrea, who was a bit of a vain admirer, seemed to be very impressed by this gaze, and walked with her head held high, while Eda had no ill feelings towards the junior soldiers, and smiled back at the young sailors from time to time.

As soon as the two arrived on the deck where the ball was held, they attracted the attention of all the senior officers of both coalition forces.

The Italian commander, who was about to give a speech, sighed helplessly in his heart when he saw that everyone had gone to see the beautiful woman, and then reduced his carefully prepared speech to a Cheng dù who did not need to breathe, and announced the official start of the ball, and the young officers, who had long been impatient, immediately surrounded Edda.

It is no exaggeration to say that the male officers present, as long as their sexual orientation has not changed, whether unmarried or married, are all eager to follow Edda. On the contrary, although Andrea is also very eye-catching, after all, everyone knows her identity as a celestial daughter, so she was put aside.

Faced with this situation, which she had long been accustomed to, Eda prayed that the ball would end quickly, and dealt with the enthusiastic officers with an official smile. Especially the Japanese, these little dwarfs looked at her unabashedly, and some guys even crossed their feet to look at her career line while covering their hands with her, which made Eda want to take out a pistol from under her skirt and shoot the other party's dog eyes.

"Damn it! Why can't you just come and blow up these bastards!? ”

Silently enduring these obscene gazes, Edda's face was still smiling brightly, but he cursed viciously in his heart. And perhaps in response to her expectations, less than 1,000 kilometers away from them, a huge aircraft carrier was quietly approaching them! (To be continued......)
