Minato meets his ex-girlfriend

"Mr. Bai Ri, what's wrong with you?"

Haifeng noticed the commander's behavior and asked with concern.

"No, it's nothing."

The commander wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Under the concerned gazes of Yubari and Kaifeng, the commander took a deep breath for a long time and finally calmed down.

The result after thinking and weighing is --

Not ready to stop.

It's not just to seek justice for the Twenty-Seventh Drive, but more because only by getting rid of Shibata can the snake behind the scenes be lured out.

For example, the fact that Kiso's mine patrol was deployed in Sasebo must have been related to Shibata.

Once Shibata is dealt with, the entire body will be affected and the forces behind him will inevitably be exposed.

Then, maybe he'll find an opportunity.

He had carried out such unscrupulous decapitation plans many times during the Iron Blood period.

“It’s just too risky.”

The commander muttered to himself.

"Mr. Bai Ri, what are you talking about?"

"No, nothing, I was just talking to myself."

The commander smiled gently, "Umikaze, Yubari, do you know where Kiso was transferred from?"

Haifeng: "Ah? Mr. Bai Ri wants to ask this?"

"Yes, very important."

"OK then."

Haifeng thought for a moment and said, "Kiso was transferred from General Fujiwara's garrison."

Great, here comes the clue.

………………

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the commander and Xinyue were on the tram heading to Enoshima Station.

"General Fujiwara, 55 years old this year, is a very experienced admiral. He was once considered a man who could take over the position of marshal. He is nicknamed the Overlord of the End of the Century. However, he is currently in a semi-retired state and serves as an admiral in the Enoshima Naval Base."

The commander said, swinging the data sheet in his hand.

Xinyue: "Commander..."

"I know, Xinyue, you will definitely say that it might be dangerous to rashly go to the base of an admiral of the Sakura Navy."

The commander took out a box of Pocky from his pocket, opened a bag and handed it to Xinyue -

"But I want to say, do I know this Fujiwara general?"

"Eh?"

"His empathy index is only 32%."

The commander smiled and said, "He told me that himself."

"Does the commander have a good relationship with that General Fujiwara?"

"Not great, but I answered all the questions. Okay, we're at Enoshima Station."

As he spoke, the commander led Xinyue out of the car and arrived at the Enoshima Naval Base.

The commander dialed a phone number.

"Hello, I'm Bai Ri, I'm looking for General Fujiwara."

"Let's call the commander. Please wait a moment. Commander, is there a phone call?"

"Ah, Wenyue, did you answer the phone? That's amazing."

"Hey hey hey ~?"

General Fujiwara answered the phone.

"This is Fujiwara, who is this?"

"Daytime."

"Tsk."

General Fujiwara sighed, "What's the matter?"

"I'm outside your garrison right now, and I want to ask you something."

"..."

The call was disconnected, and five minutes later, the gate of the garrison opened.

Behind the open door was a sturdy man with gray hair and wearing a navy uniform.

"What do you want to ask me?"

"Go in and talk."

After arriving at the office and confirming that there were no eavesdropping devices around, the commander found a seat and sat down.

Xinyue was sent to the conversation room.

"What are you going to ask me?" asked General Fujiwara.

"Your Kiso, the matter of the Thunder Patrol."

The commander poured himself a glass of water. "The information on the file shows that it has not undergone the first modification, but it shows that it has already undergone the second modification. Can you explain this to me?"

General Fujiwara fell silent. After a while, he said, "Where did you see the document?"

"Sasebo Naval Arsenal."

"What are you going to do?"

"Kill Shibata."

The commander's voice was calm, and when he mentioned killing Shibata, it was as if he was saying something trivial.

"I just want to know what the consequences will be."

p.S; Third update, please give me some monthly tickets, blades, and rewards.

By the way, Kiso is not the Kai2. The only Kai2 are War-weary, Zuikaku, Azuma, and the pseudo-Kai2 Shokaku who is one step away.

Chapter 94: Unpacking the package and looking at the ring (fourth update)

"I said there would be no consequences, would you believe me?"

General Fujiwara said so.

The commander tapped the armrest of the seat with his fingers, as if he was thinking.

"As for the reconstruction of the fifth Kuma-class light cruiser, Kiso, he knew nothing about it."

"Tsk."

The commander smacked his lips. "Why do I feel like you're making excuses for him?"

"It has nothing to do with excuses. Shibata himself would not know these things. He would only judge the strength of the ship girls based on their rarity."

General Fujiwara said helplessly: "He can't even name the numerous Mutsuki-types, and he can say something strange like 'Why do you have so many similar names?' How can you expect him to know about Kiso's transformation into a Thunder Patrol?"

"Then why did you let Shibata become the admiral of Sasebo?"

"On the one hand, it's because the resonance index is indeed not low. On the other hand, it is also the result of multi-party game. Yokosuka needs a dog."

“It’s really magical.”

It is amazing that a good-for-nothing like him could become the third-ranked admiral of the garrison among the four major forces, and most importantly, he is still alive and well today.

They make their decisions based on the gambling mentality of “this ship may win” or “this horse may work”.

However, this also shows the terrifying side of the Sakura Empire. Even if a pig is tied to the position of the Sasebo admiral, it can still run smoothly.

The commander said: "The Sakura Empire is truly terrifying."

General Fujiwara echoed, "Unlike Eastern Empire, the Sakura Empire suffered a major setback in front of the Sirens, and their radical policies came from that."

"Is Kiso considered a Kai 2?" the commander asked.

"It can't be considered a Kai-2, it can only be considered a heavy torpedo cruiser that was developed with special designs and a huge amount of materials after a lot of effort."

"Why send such a special ship to Sasebo?"

This is also what the commander is most confused about.

“I can’t say that.”

General Fujiwara shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's hard for me to say, but you are so smart, have you ever thought that Kiso was sent to Sasebo on purpose, and everything was deliberately designed for you to see?"

"!!!"

The commander was slightly surprised.

General Fujiwara: "Think about it for a moment. Are there really such coincidences in the world? If this is a trap, then it must have been planned long ago, waiting for you to fall into it?"

This is all too much of a coincidence.

The commander decisively denied it: "It's impossible. There are too many variables to control."

“There are no variables in this world that cannot be controlled. It just depends on whether you have enough power.”

"..."

The commander was silent for a moment. If we follow this logic, who is the mastermind behind this?

Luli and his sister don't have hands that long.

Lilies are a possibility.

"This guy showed me Kiso's special modification. Is he trying to show me the tip of the iceberg of the Sakura Empire Navy so that he won't want to kill Shibata?"

"No, quite the opposite."

General Fujiwara snapped his fingers, "Instead, it confirms your intention to kill Shibata."

"what?"

"You are not the kind of person who retreats when faced with difficulties. On the contrary, you are the kind of person who will take further steps when faced with difficulties. If you only know how to fight when the wind is favorable, how could you have pushed the Royal Navy to that point?"

"Hey, as expected of General Fujiwara, your guess is absolutely correct."

The commander smiled and said, "I am indeed determined to kill Shibata. Only in this way can we muddy the waters and have a chance to find the truth."

"What are you going to do now?"

"Of course I plan to kill Shibata. I haven't felt this eager to do it in a long time."

The commander stretched and stood up.

"One last question, can you answer it for me?"

"You said."

"Is this guy behind this plan to use me to kill the admiral of Sasebo?"

"So, not really."

General Fujiwara didn't know how to explain this concept.

The guy behind this has no interest in Shibata's life. She just wants to push the commander of Nanhai back to the forefront of the world.

As for why Shibata was targeted, it was simple. Killing a commander-in-chief of one of the four major garrisons was shocking enough.

That's it.

"Would you like to stay for a meal?"
