Minato meets his ex-girlfriend

"Is that what headquarters said?"

"That's what Admiral Lily said."

Can Lily help Shokaku reach the pseudo-second level?

The commander's expression was stern: "Does the headquarters know that Shokaku wants to change the second one?"

"The headquarters doesn't know. She told me alone and asked me to tell you."

"Then why didn't you report this to headquarters? Wasn't your assigned mission to monitor Lily?"

"Because the KanColle Weapons Faction intends to attack you, Lily said that you should secretly prepare your own strength. I think so too."

"Take action against me..."

The commander looked subtle.

"Foreign countries are shocked by the two Kai-2-strength aircraft carriers. I don't even know what tricks they will use. But the headquarters doesn't know about the Zuikaku Kai-2 and Shokaku Pseudo Kai-2 either. It's like a farmer who doesn't even know how much rice is in his rice jar. Do you think they will be at ease?"

"Do you suspect that I have rebellious intentions?"

"I can't help it. Your power is too great and your ability is too strong."

Dan Meng sighed: "He is the only commander in the country. He is innocent, but guilty of possessing a treasure."

"..."

"And your predecessor's identity as an iron-blooded commander, a man who was skilled in submarine warfare and was called the Undersea Demon King. He once served the Red Axis. After three years of silence, he changed his previous submarine warfare style and brought out two Kai-2 aircraft carriers."

Dan Meng said: "Wouldn't you be suspicious of such a person?"

"But Marshal..."

"It's difficult for the Marshal, too. No matter how powerful he is, he cannot go against logic and facts."

"So what are they going to do?"

"Let you go over to a meeting to upgrade your military rank."

The commander was stunned for a moment: "So I am a colonel now?"

"No, it's the Brigadier General."

"But Donghuang doesn't have a brigadier general."

"So you are the first. On the surface, brigadier general and colonel are basically the same, but you have to have the word 'first'."

Dan Meng looked calm: "Then the nature is different, Comrade Brigadier General."

"You mean roasting me on the fire?"

"That's right. In addition, the headquarters will approve three new warships for you: a light cruiser, a light aircraft carrier, and an aviation battleship."

"what?"

The commander was stunned again: "You are afraid of me, but you still want to send me a big ship?"

"On the surface, approving new ships for the South China Sea is to tell other overseas countries that Donghuang will form an aircraft carrier fleet with the Shokaku and Zuikaku aircraft carriers as the core to deter the rogues."

She paused. "Secretly, it was to monitor the status of Shokaku and Zuikaku."

Wow, this is a great idea that kills two birds with one stone, with effects both internally and externally.

"But you don't have to worry. Those three warships may not listen to the headquarters."

"Why do you say that?"

"The three warships were transferred from the Outlying Island Garrison to the South Sea Port Area. After my investigation, I made some new discoveries."

Dan Meng took out a document and showed it to the commander.

"This is……"

"That's right. Those three warships were not created by the magic cube at the remote island tutelage. Instead, they were -"

Dan Meng lowered her voice, "Lily used her authority as admiral to secretly transfer people from Sakura Empire to the island without telling the headquarters."

"Maizuru's light cruiser Agano, Maizuru's light aircraft carrier Houshou, Yokosuka's Yamashiro..."

Dan Meng took a sip of tea: "So, are they working for the headquarters, or for Lily? Or are they still working for the Red Axis Sakura Empire?"

“Why doesn’t the headquarters send its own people?”

"Haha, you're the only commander."

Dan Meng said: "The strongest ship girl born from artificial collision is still with you, there is no one else available."

“Even if there is no one available.”

The commander's face was gloomy: "Are you going to find an untrustworthy outsider to deal with me?"

“Among a group of mediocre people, we can only accept the emergence of new trash, but we cannot accept the emergence of a genius.”

Dan Meng concluded.

These words are meaningful.

The commander was silent for a long time, finally dusted off his body and stood up.

"Thank you for telling me this. I will take good care of the little swan."

"I'm not telling you this for the little swan either."

"Ok?"

"Anyway! Think carefully about what was said in the meeting, and then prepare to welcome the new ship girl――"

"Go get your new medal, Comrade Brigadier General."

After the next chapter is released, the first volume will be completed.

End of the first volume

Iron Blood, Bremerhaven, naval base.

No one knows that Z36 is actually a good kid.

She hadn't seen everyone gathered together for a long time. When was the last time? She had forgotten.

It probably started after Sister Bismarck left.

She is a new ship girl built in the past two years and was born in Bremerhaven. Unlike her other sisters, she is actually the youngest sister.

Since she was born, she has learned a lot of things, such as that her sister Bismarck went out to find someone, and that Count Zeppelin went to some underwater base to develop star destroyer equipment... She couldn't understand, she couldn't understand at all, who were they looking for?

During this period, Sister Bismarck came back once, and that was the first time Z36 saw the legendary battleship.

The Bismarck-class battleship is the strongest battleship of the Iron Blood and also the core ship.

Z36 wanted to go up to her and call her sister, but Sister Bismarck’s expressionless face seemed scary.

Unlike Tirpitz's cold expression, Bismarck's expression was as if he didn't care about anything. When he looked at Z36, it was as if he was looking at nothing.

Thus, Z36 learned that this person was a secret to Sangvishes.

She had no way of knowing what happened to that person, and she didn't dare to ask.

Is it that guy who caused the Iron Blood to become like this?

Or is it because of the departure of Bismarck’s sister?

I don’t understand. I don’t understand at all.

But she wanted Iron Blood to be more like a home... Well, it was a strange thing to think of a military weapon as a home, and she knew that.

Today we finally got everyone together.

But when watching the live broadcast, everyone's behavior was very strange.

After watching the live broadcast, there was silence.

"That Zuikaku is really amazing. She actually saw the world's first Kai-2 aircraft carrier."

To liven up the atmosphere, Z36 said, "And that Shokaku, is he also going to have a power level of ?"

"Well, let me do the math."

She began to count on her fingers: "War-weary, Azuma, Zuikaku, and Shokaku, that's just enough to make up the Four Emperors. Even Sister Zeppelin can't match that strength, right?"

"..."

Still no one spoke, there was silence.

"Crench."

Tirpitz was the first to push his chair away and prepare to leave: "I'm leaving first."

"Eh hey hey? Sister Tirpitz? Not eating?"

Z36 asked quickly.

"Don't eat."

Tirpitz waved his hand without looking back and walked out of the room.

As Tirpitz left, everyone began to leave one after another. Z36 stared at the scene blankly, not knowing what he had done wrong.

According to the original plan, after watching the live broadcast, everyone should happily order takeout and discuss the exciting details of the battle.

"Z36."

Z46 walked up to her and whispered to her, "Stop talking."

"Hey... Sister Z46, did I say something wrong?"

"You didn't say anything wrong, but some words..."

Z46 chose his words carefully and whispered, "No one wants to hear it."

"But……"

"This has nothing to do with you, it's just everyone's problem..."

Z46 said: “It’s just everyone’s own problem.”

………………

What did you do wrong?

After thinking for several hours, Z36 still couldn't figure out the reason. The sky was gray today, and just now, gray raindrops slid down the eaves.

She opened the window and a cold, gloomy wind blew in.

"call……"

Relaxed a little.

Maybe she did something wrong, and Sister Tirpitz seemed angry.

Although Sister Tirpitz always has a cold expression, Z36 has become familiar with her personality after spending a long time with her. Tirpitz is a big sister who appears to be cold, but is actually a little inferior and gentle.

"You better go and apologize."

Z36 thought so and walked towards Tirpitz's room, but as soon as she turned the corner of the corridor, she saw an incredible scene.

"Yes……"

Z36 stuttered: "Sister Eugen?"

Sister Eugen has always been out of touch, which is far from Tirpitz's calm personality.

When was the last time the two of them communicated?

"What else are they saying..."

Z36 became curious and said, "Let's eavesdrop."

"..."

"..."

"one way or another."

Eugen sat on the soft sofa and said to Tirpitz, whose head was not even on the pillow: "You shouldn't lose your temper with Z36."
