Bismarck

"Let's go home!"

However, in the ears of Persian cats...

go home…

At that moment, Bismarck was slightly distracted.

If I can't go back to my previous life's home...

In this life... right now, there is nothing else to think about. Just try your best to keep the captain and yourself safe and sound and survive this cruel war!

"OK, all right!"

Bismarck nodded and walked towards the tower...

Chapter 493: Funny Methods

In late summer Berlin, under the late summer sunshine, in the city dotted with green trees, except for the occasional air raid sirens at night and the commercial and traffic controls that did not greatly affect the lives of ordinary civilians, at least it seemed that the city was still quiet and peaceful.

but…

In the Admiralty building shaded by the warm shade of trees under the sun, the atmosphere in Raeder's office was completely different.

Just a thick curtain completely shuts out the bright sunshine and the refreshing scenery outside the window. Behind the thick curtain, there is only the dim light, and the light blocked by the light, making the atmosphere in the office gloomy. The buzzing condensing dehumidifier blows out dry, weak cold wind...

Even though this was not the first or second time he had been to this office, Kumets still felt a chill all over his body when he entered the door.

Especially, seeing Marshal Redel behind the big desk, reviewing documents without saying a word and not even looking at him, Kumets felt cold sweats coming out.

Even though he is also an admiral, Kumets is well aware that in front of this big boss, to put it bluntly, he is nothing!

Admiral Raeder, who has held sway in the navy for fifteen years, is no good guy!

Even a powerful naval admiral like Lütjens, who had made great military achievements, is now exiled in the Mediterranean with the few ship girls who are loyal to him?

Not to mention my own terrible abilities!

With a wry smile, Kumets walked obediently to the opposite side of Redel and assumed the most standard posture of standing at attention to be reprimanded.

Raeder's rules were extremely strict, and he hated people who didn't listen to him. Not to mention the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet who was able to "threaten" him, even officers who were a little bit troublesome would be punished by him.

Not to mention, Kumets knew exactly why he was called to Redl's office - even though a brand new Iron Cross was hanging on his collar, shining brightly...

However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is obviously used to fool the little mustache guys and the German people!

The submarine was able to sink the Ranger by sheer luck! But in the Battle of Bear Island, even Kumets himself felt that he had no excuses for his poor performance against Tovey...

Although under Goebbels' brilliant writing, the sinking of the assault ship was regarded as a great achievement and was boasted everywhere, and he even earned himself a knight's medal.

But... the twists and turns here may fool the little mustache guy and the German people who are basically ignorant of the navy, but it will definitely not fool Raeder!

After all, Raeder was one of the most trusted combat advisers under General Hipper, a great commander of the Second Empire's High Seas Fleet, during the Battle of Jutland!

The Shane sisters challenged a maid of Cricket with their powerful strength after the modification, and Eugen had discovered her reputation in advance, but the one who was beaten was actually herself...

Moreover, until the end of the battle, Gneisenno did not have time to arrive because the distance was too far - if this matter was counted strictly, it could indeed be regarded as evidence of his incompetent command!

Although, if Redel really wanted to investigate me, I would not give me a medal. But this only means that I have to behave better this time! Otherwise, if I offend Redel for no reason, my future will be ruined, and if I am unlucky, I will not know how I died...

How to strike the right balance between being competent and not threatening the leader is a real problem...

You know, Redel can find any reason to attack others, and he will definitely stop at nothing!

Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, and Redel is such a "tiger who wins people over with his virtue"!

Kumets secretly wiped a cold sweat: Fortunately, I am not someone he wants to deal with yet...

You must hold this thigh tightly...If you don't, you will be doomed.

At this time, Redel seemed to have finished reviewing the documents in his hand. Kumets was startled, and regardless of the cold sweat on his back, he quickly stood at attention in the most standard manner, standing obediently in a posture that allowed others to manipulate him. He dared not even breathe, and could only lower his head, waiting for the "thunder and rain and dew are all the grace of the king" in front of him.

Gently putting down the pen and looking up, Raeder had no expression on his face. He only glanced at Kumets with a very scheming look, and said calmly, "Tell me about the Arctic Fleet's attack this time, Kumets."

Suddenly, cold sweat started pouring down. Kumets knew that the storm was coming...

--------

"...Since you are usually honest and hardworking, I'll let it go this time!"

With a snort, Redel, who was a little tired of scolding, picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. Kumets, who had been scolded to death, stood obediently, not daring to wipe the spit on his face with his hands. He knew that he had passed this level this time.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a tone as gloomy as the office's was heard again, "By the way, how are the performances of the Prinz Eugen and Top?"

Seeing Redel glance at him indifferently, Kumets knew that Redel was just criticizing him before, and this was what Redel really cared about.

One of the purposes of being sent to the Arctic Fleet was to monitor the Prince Eugen closely!

Fortunately, both he and Raeder knew that there were several officers on the Prinz Eugen, from the deputy captain down, who were their confidants and undercover agents - as long as they found a little excuse that Top was not honest, these people could first strip him of his command and then report to Kumetz and Raeder to replace him!

If the impact of the last time the ship girl caused trouble in Berlin was not so great, and if they had not had to consider the attitude of the Prinz Eugen itself, these people would have squeezed Top out long ago!

However, there is a prerequisite. First of all, we must really confirm how strong the combat power of the ship girls in the naval battle is. Although there has been no definite information, after all, no one can guarantee whether the opposite countries, Britain and the United States, also have such things as ship girls.

It is true that it is better to be prepared.

"Report to the Marshal! According to the combat report submitted by Top and the secret reports submitted by the officers we sent over, it is summarized that the specific combat process of Prince Eugen in this operation was as follows. Please take a look at the nautical chart..." Kumets hurried to the front of the table, and while speaking, he opened a thick memorandum and even unfolded a nautical chart - the nautical chart on the cruiser Prince Eugen!

"... Overall, the maximum speed of the Prinz Eugen in the naval battle reached 37 knots. The observation range was also more than 32 kilometers... In actual combat, it was able to easily defeat two British heavy light cruisers in a one-on-two battle, and even dared to shoot at the Renown! When firing at the Renown, it was even able to get a first hit from 26 kilometers away! It seems that it can always exert the theoretical maximum firing rate of six rounds per minute, and the artillery dispersion shown in the naval battle is even close to the theoretical minimum dispersion of its main guns!... In short, except for the unscientific speed, this ship seems to be able to exert the strongest theoretical performance under any circumstances, which is much stronger than the sister ship of the same type, the Hipper! But... it still cannot pose a threat to the Renown..." As he spoke, Kumetz's face became a little embarrassed again. However, after secretly glancing at Raeder's expression, Kumetz finally gritted his teeth and said directly: "Except for the last time, it seemed to be an attempt to launch a torpedo to cover the evacuation of Scharnhorst, and finally scared off the Renown at a distance of 17,000 yards..."

He told all his dark history in one breath, secretly glancing at Redl's face. Seeing the autocratic marshal's eyes softening again, Kumets finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"How did Top perform this time?" Redel asked again, still in that emotionless tone.

"Top? According to the reports from several of our confidants, although Top performed actively in this battle, he also seemed to have some unstable factors. He seemed to be a little emotional during the battle, and was not active in submitting combat reports after the battle. It's just that Top has been coaxing Prince Eugen's ship girl, and the ship girl seems to rely on and trust Top... The attitude of the ship girl towards the deputy captain and several other officers we sent over is rather cold..."

"Humph, you let others take the lead so blatantly, will they have a good attitude towards you?" Redel snorted: "Do you have any brains? You did it too obviously!"

Kumets hurriedly made another self-examination in fear and trepidation.

Looking at Kumets who was sweating profusely and expressing his loyalty, Raeder did not speak. He just held the coffee cup and looked at the nautical chart, as if he was reviewing the naval battle, or thinking about something.

As for what he was thinking, Kumets, who was standing obediently on the side, didn't dare to guess. At most, he could only guess and then think about how to do the things he was told to do well while not letting the marshal hate him...

"Forget it, let's just leave it like this from now on!" After a while, Redel finally spoke. His words were incoherent and left Kumets a little stunned.

"Marshal, what do you mean..."

"I have a general understanding of the capabilities of the Prinz Eugen, or the so-called ship girl."

"The so-called ship girls are supposed to be based on the original design, with the help of their 'souls', additional enhancements - or the result of exerting the theoretical limit of performance. In addition to the obvious advantages of running faster and having smaller shell dispersion, the other advantage is that the detection range is slightly farther than the existing radar detection range!"

Glancing at Kumets calmly, Redel continued.

"It seems that relying on the ship girls alone is far from enough... Fight well when you go back, and don't get too stalemate with the Norwegian Air Force. You know, your Arctic Fleet has assembled most of our main forces, and Hindenburg and Ludendorff will also be in service in a while - so you have to work harder. Don't lose to Lütjens!"

It was a plain sentence, but the attitude inside was self-evident. Especially when talking about Lütjens, Redl slightly raised his eyelids and squinted at Kumets.

Kumets, who was so frightened that he was sweating coldly, stood at attention and began to show his loyalty again:

"Yes! I will definitely perform well and live up to the Marshal's cultivation!"

"Okay, just do your job well. Also, don't be too obvious with Top in the future. Just keep an eye on him as you do now. Also, isn't the deputy captain of the Prinz Eugen very good with women? Ask him to get closer to Eugen and try to build relationships with him whenever he can - one ship girl at a time. As for how to build these interpersonal relationships, I don't need to teach you, right?"

"I understand! I will definitely do it well!"

---------

Poor Kumets had no choice but to stand at attention and salute once again to show his loyalty. Even though there was air conditioning, his uniform was soaked with sweat.

Looking at his subordinate who was almost nervous, Redel took a sip of coffee and turned back to continue reading the documents on the table. Kumets knew that he was sending him away. He didn't dare to say anything more. He stood at attention, saluted, turned around, and walked out with a little muscle stiffness, and then helped Redel close the door.

Looking at the gloomy figure of his scheming and unpredictable boss hidden inside the heavy door, Kumets breathed a sigh of relief and realized that he was sweating profusely and even felt a little exhausted...?

He quickly found his orderly who was waiting at the gate, took the kettle and took a big gulp of water. Only then was Kumets able to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Top you bastard!"

Kumets gnashed his teeth and secretly bore a grudge in his heart.

With a gloomy face and a briefcase under his arm, Kumets walked out quickly. He was thinking in his heart whether he should let his confidant, a playboy with a good appearance, take the Holy Sword of Physics and bypass Topdo to find little Eugen and have some time to chat with him...

ps: The pain of the advanced math make-up exam... I don't know if I will pass it =. = I will take the exam this afternoon, oh.

ps: Please give me a monthly ticket for my new book "Miss Chinese Dragon's Expedition to Another World", I promise it will be great!

Chapter 494: Eugen, please open the door

In a cabin of the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen that had a bit of a girlish atmosphere, little Eugen sat dejectedly on his bed, hugging his knees and staring through the porthole at the snow-capped peaks of northern Norway in the distance in a daze.

I don't know what's going on recently, but Top has been so busy these days that he has no time to rest. Every day, he is ordered around by his superiors. No matter whether it is his job or not, it is always pushed down on him by Kumets...

Top was kept busy every day and didn't come back until one or two in the morning. Then he had to get up at four or five the next morning with dark circles under his eyes and set off at six.

Looking at Top who was ordered around day and night every day, Eugen felt heartbroken.

Just now, Eugen was called out by Kumets again, saying that the deployment of air defense positions around the port area needed further adjustment, so Top was sent out to various air defense positions for "field investigation" or something.

There wasn't even time to say hello or goodbye. I was hurriedly called out while putting on my clothes and holding a piece of bread in my mouth.

Top was called out, leaving only little Eugen alone on the boat...

"Hate it! Why do they torture me like this..."

Eugen lowered his head, and became even more dissatisfied with the high-ranking navy officials.

But, dong dong dong...

A knock on the door?

Is anyone looking for me?

Eugen, who was sitting on the bed, turned around puzzledly and looked towards the door.

dong dong dong...

Keep knocking

Eugen tilted his head and wondered, who could it be?

Anyway, it can’t be Top!

dong dong dong dong dong dong...

Is it never going to end?

She is also stupid, can't she just use her ability to see outside? No matter blue hair or golden hair, they are all the same.

"Who is it?" Eugen shouted unhappily, climbed down from the bed, and walked towards the door wearing a pair of cotton slippers.

She wanted to see who it was!

The door opened, and Eugen saw a lieutenant colonel standing outside the door. He was wearing a neat military uniform, looked very handsome, and had a gentle appearance. He extended his hand towards her in a friendly manner.

Eugen recognized this officer, he was her deputy captain. But... the relationship between her and this deputy captain was not very good...

Although this deputy captain was very handsome, his attitude towards Top was not very good. Although he had never shown any displeasure to Eugen, Eugen did not like him very much either.

Especially, this person usually has some bossy and greasy hair and powdered face. But during the naval battle, he could not even be seen...

But why did you come here to find me now? Eugen felt a little confused and even didn't want to pay attention to this deputy captain.

Instead of shaking hands with the deputy captain, Eugen moved slightly behind the door and said, "Hello, deputy captain. What can I do for you?"

Seeing Eugen's formal "polite" expression, the slicked-back deputy captain smiled indifferently and continued to stretch out his hand and said, "Miss Eugen, starting from noon today, we will have an officers' social gathering with the army stationed in the port area and the nearby air force. It's such a nice day, why don't you go out with us?"

“…So will Top go or not?” Eugen asked, blinking in confusion.

"Captain Top, if you have time, you can go with us." The deputy captain had a smile on his handsome face.

The handsome and smiling deputy captain was sneering inside.

There is one sentence that the deputy captain did not say:

The prerequisite is that Top has to have time to go!

and……

"…Actually, Captain Top said that he's been busy lately and doesn't have time to hang out with you, so he asked me to hang out with you more often."

“…Huh? Really…?”

I don't really like hanging out with people I'm not familiar with, Top knows that, right? Besides, I'm not unhappy every day because I can't go out and play, right...?

and so…
