On the foredeck of the Musashi, which was still under construction, Masako Yamamoto was watching nervously as a large gun barrel was hoisted into the No. 2 turret, along with a group of engineers and workers. This cannon alone weighs 165 tons and is more than 20 meters long, which is really thick and hard. And as the cannon body was firmly embedded in the turret, everyone present erupted in cheers!

"Well done! And so the second turret is also complete! ”

"Die, lasa! Musashi is becoming more and more like a beautiful big girl, and I really look forward to the day when she grows up (enters the service). To be able to participate in the construction of such a majestic battleship, I have no regrets in my life! ”

After more than two years of hard work by all the craftsmen of the Mitsubishi Shipyard, the main body of the battleship Musashi was more than 80% complete, and it is expected to be launched in another three months.

At this time, the Yamato was already preparing for its first sea trial, and as long as it could be accepted smoothly, it might be officially commissioned at the end of the year, and the Musashi would join the Navy in the following six months. At that time, Japan will have two invincible Yamato-class battleships, forming an overwhelming advantage over neighboring countries in terms of quality...... At least that's what the Japanese Navy thinks!

For Masako Yamamoto, being able to participate in the construction of the Musashi not only gained a lot of valuable experience, but also left a precious memory for his life.

At this time, Masako noticed that someone else had boarded the deck of the Musashi, led by her father Isoroku Yamamoto. In addition, the fleet's main flagships, Nagato and Mutsu, were also in the entourage, and these two old-timers seemed to be very interested in their infant juniors.

It is worth mentioning that at this time, both the hulls of Nagato and Mutsu were under full maintenance at the Mitsubishi Shipyard, which is a very rare occurrence in the Japanese Navy.

Because these two warships are usually returned to the shipyard alternately for refurbishment, it is necessary to ensure that one of them is in place to serve as the general flagship. Now that they have both returned to the factory, the position of the general flagship of the Combined Fleet has fallen to the head of other capital ships for the first time in more than 20 years.

Seeing the arrival of Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku, the shipbuilders on deck were very excited. They all bowed to each other, and Yamamoto smiled kindly in return. When he saw Masako in the crowd, a trace of love flashed in his eyes, and the father and daughter looked at each other silently and smiled.

During this inspection, Yamamoto Isoroku mainly came to see the battleship Musashi, which was pinned on by the navy, and to visit his daughter Masako by the way. Throwing a young girl in the shipyard full of sweat and the smell of engine oil made Yamamoto feel that he owed something to his daughter, but Masako was very grateful to his father for doing this qiē for him.

Out of a desire to avoid suspicion, Yamamoto Fifty-six did not come over to greet his daughter after seeing that he was well. Instead, he went into the cabin to visit the interior of the Musashi, accompanied by the shipyard's chief technical officer, while Masako continued to work on deck.

It was Mutsu who took the initiative to come over and greet Masako, who had already learned about the two pride of the Navy through her father when she was still in elementary school. Mutsu came over to persuade Masako to put down the work at hand first and accompany her father, who rarely came over.

"Masako, it's rare for your father to come here, why don't you go and talk to him more?"

"But I'm still working!"

"The problem is that work happens every day, but your father can't come every day, can he?"

"Then wait until I go home on vacation, in short, I won't leave my post without permission."

Facing the stubborn Zhengzi. No matter how Mutsu persuaded him, the other party was unmoved. Yamamoto Isoroku left the Mitsubishi Shipyard in a hurry after visiting the Musashi, and Masako never spoke a word to his father. So Mutsu, who couldn't see it, decided. Use your lunch time to talk to Masako about family relationships.

"I said Masako, are you not in harmony with General Yamamoto's father-daughter relationship?"

"No! I have a lot of respect for my father. ”

"Then why didn't you talk to General Yamamoto in the morning?"

"Because I want to avoid suspicion, I don't want people to think I'm special."

"That's it!? I'm talking about righteousness! You are the daughter of Yamamoto Isoroku, and this kinship is based on all your social connections. The world is big, and the family affection is the greatest! ”

“…… Mutsu. Don't let the gendarmes hear this. ”

In Japan's hierarchical society, the emperor is at the top of the entire class pyramid, and he may not be the most powerful person in Japan. But it is the most respected identity in the minds of all Japanese people. Under the influence of this social atmosphere, you can stand on the street and shout that you don't love your parents, but you can never say that you don't love the emperor.

Mutsu's phrase "family affection is the greatest" can be completely misinterpreted by people with intentions as "not recognizing the supremacy of the emperor", and then make a big fuss about it. The reason why Masako is so careful is because the army has already done something similar more than once!

However, Mutsu obviously doesn't care about this, Tiansheng is born without a father and mother, and Mutsu, like many ship girls, attaches great importance to the concept of "family affection". Many ship girls cherish the relationship between them and sisters of the same level, and they are also very envious of the more diversified family relationship network of ordinary human beings. Mutsu respects Yamamoto Isoroku and naturally hopes that he can also have a harmonious family.

It's not that Masako doesn't understand Michinoku's kindness, but the way she and her father get along has always been like this, and this is also the way they have a good relationship. So in order not to let Mutsu worry about it anymore, Masako explained it well, which made the other party feel at ease.

At this time, Masako noticed that Nagato, who was usually inseparable from Mutsu, seemed to have disappeared since the start of the lunch break.

"Speaking of which, Miss Nagato?"

"She's out shopping for candy and snacks."

"Huh? Aren't these navies supplied? ”

"Nagato, she didn't buy it for herself, but for ......"

As soon as Mutsu was halfway through his words, Nagato's voice came from outside the window, and the two of them followed the voice, only to see that the other party had returned with a cart of snacks and was waving in this direction. Masako looked at Mutsu suspiciously, while the other party held his forehead with a distressed expression.

"Masako, what I'm going to say next may be a matter of the Navy's face, don't tell others casually after you hear it."

"Uh...... It's not a military secret, is it? ”

"Nope! It's not that strict, but it's really a shameful thing to expose. Don't look at Nagato, she usually looks stern, as if she is very serious, in fact, she has a very bad habit, that is, playing with young girls, and these pastries she buys are all gifts prepared for building a good relationship with elementary school students in the neighborhood. ”

"This ...... This shouldn't be a big deal, right? ”

"Masako, you don't understand the meaning of my words, I just said this to let you know, Nagato she...... Actually, it's a LOLI control! (To be continued......)

PS: Personally, I prefer the "Third Battery" (laughs)!
