Minato meets his ex-girlfriend

The commander told Marshal Meng that only single-digit resources were left except for steel.

There was silence for a while.

"…Are you still a human?"

Marshal Meng: "Anyway, I can't find more resources for you. You're on your own."

The marshal was about to hang up the phone.

It seems that I have to use a big move.

The commander gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Old Meng, I have a way to revive your daughter CV16!"

"I wonder if you dare to hang up the phone!?"

Chapter 185: The Secret of Akashi (Part 3)

Meng Yangshuo was trained from the grassroots level.

A clean background means being innocent.

He and Chief Zhang have similar backgrounds, both of them worked their way up from educated youth, but he is a practical man while Zhang is not.

That's why he, a marshal, was so friendly with Director Zhang, a major general.

The Donghuang Navy was not as wealthy as everyone thought at the beginning.

No skills, buy old machines.

The arsenal leaked rain on rainy days, let in light on sunny days, and leaked wind on cloudy days. Meng Yangshuo grew up in such an environment.

Watching over a second-hand Sakura Empire machine until death, this is how the script should be.

Until one day thirty years ago.

The Siren appeared, and at the same time, the Mind Cube appeared.

As a pragmatic intellectual, Meng Yangshuo was sent to the front line to work in the scientific research studio day after day, and finally came up with a successful plan.

To this day, he still remembers the scene of CV16's birth.

Just like his daughter.

Until that day fifteen years ago.

He and CV16 took a train from Beihai to the East China Sea front.

I still remember the time point, which was probably a few months after the SARS incident, the K-starting year, the worst year for rail passenger transport.

There were not many people in the carriage and the atmosphere was depressing.

The woman was carrying a heavy suitcase, wearing ugly makeup, and looked exhausted.

At that time, CV16 was sitting by the window, wearing headphones and holding a Sony PXM2000 Walkman in his hand.

Silver ultra-thin appearance, gum battery, blue backlight control.

The little girl liked it very much, and Meng Yangshuo, who was already 40 years old at the time, used half a month's salary to buy it for his daughter.

"The car window is crying."

The lonely girl was drawing little people on the rain-covered car window.

Black rain was falling from the sky, and the green train was carrying them through the rain.

"Can we still go back?"

She asked Meng Yangshuo, blinking her eyes.

"of course."

Meng Yangshuo answered affirmatively.

But she said nothing, as if she had a premonition.

"Everything is going to be alright, and we're all going to be okay."

"Ah."

"If possible, I would like to have a love relationship."

She said, tilting her head.

"in love?"

Meng Yangshuo frowned, "Why do you suddenly think like this?"

“New song.”

She showed Meng Yangshuo the interface of the Walkman.

"Sunny...Sunny?"

Meng Yangshuo read out the words above with difficulty.

"It was sung by a singer named Zhou. It was released not long ago. It sounds pretty good."

She said, “It’s normal for a girl to want to be in love, right?”

"Yes."

Meng Yangshuo nodded, "But you have to let me see him first."

"Okay."

She smiled, showing her cute fangs, "Of course."

"Father Meng."

"Ok?"

"If I sink, can you wait?"

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait until your shoulders can carry everything you've done."

At that time, Meng Yangshuo didn't understand what CV16 meant by this.

It's funny that he had lived for forty years at that time, but he didn't know as much as a little girl who was only a few years old.

It was then that he realized that it was precisely because the girl's life was short that she could understand so many truths.

The more fragile life is, the more we understand how precious it is, and the more we want to protect the people behind us.

When we went there, there were two of us.

When he came back, Meng Yangshuo was the only one there.

In the corner of the green train, he curled up dejectedly, having not slept all night. Black rain was falling from the sky and fragments of dreams were floating around him.

He locked himself in his room for a month.

Until one day, he figured it out.

He was a clean-shaven, middle-aged man with no ambitions, dressed in a navy uniform.

He wants to avenge his daughter.

No, it’s not about revenge. Who is he going to seek revenge on?

He has to take on these responsibilities better, just as she said, until your shoulders can carry everything you have done.

Because she is his daughter, Donghuang has nothing to do with human feelings.

He began to climb up, using his daughter's sunken favor as a stepping stone for promotion.

He really didn't want to exploit CV16's death, but it was the only way to move up.

Only by climbing up can we better protect the ship girls.

This is her wish.

The name of Bai Ri also comes from this.

Nothing will sink, no one will get hurt, and all the disagreements can be forgiven.

The name of Bairi comes from this beautiful wish that is like a daydream.

His parents said.

If it's a girl, she'd be called Daydream, a more feminine name.

If it's a boy, he'd be called Bai Ri, which sounds tougher.

After all, she is a scar in Donghuang's heart.

It was because she sank in the East China Sea that CV17 joined the East China Sea Fleet.

She wanted to protect the East China Sea for her sister.

When Meng Yangshuo heard from Bai Ri that he could revive CV16, his body trembled violently.

As the marshal of the Donghuang Navy, he shouldn't be like this.

But memories are coming back, all of them.

It was as if he had returned to the day when the train carried him through the rain.

"Marshal Meng..."

Secretary Ruan was the first to notice the changes in Meng Yangshuo.

She came to Marshal Meng and wanted to speak, but didn't know how.

"Secretary Ruan, you..."

Marshal Meng said softly, "Can you go out for a while?"

"understood."

Secretary Ruan walked out and closed the door.

After closing the door, Secretary Ruan's face was full of shock.

She didn't understand why Marshal Meng, who was known as a tough guy, was in tears.

………………

"Now tell me."

Marshal Meng calmed down and said, "Don't tell me you were joking just now."

"No kidding."

The commander was also serious. He said, "Akashi Kaiji."

"...Akashi?"

Marshal Meng was silent.

This is of course because of Akashi's background.

Akashi comes from Sakura Empire and is a maintenance ship.

It is not a repair ship built by Donghuang itself. There is no other way. Repair ships not only require a good naval industry, but also technical talents.

Repair ships are very rare, and there are only a few countries that have ship girls capable of carrying them.

Royal, White Eagle, Sakura.

Oh, okay, it seems that everyone has it, except Donghuang.

Then Meng Yangshuo didn't say this.

Akashi's arrival was a deal, or to be more precise, a deal with the forces behind Yoshino Yuri.

Build an island tutelage for Lily.

There are too many uncertainties here. It is not appropriate to let someone like Lily, who is entangled in the politics of the Sakura Empire, be the commander of Donghuang.

But Lily said that this Akashi has the potential to be a Level 16 and could one day revive CV.
