Bismarck

That afternoon, Marshal Andrew Cunningham, the First Sea Lord of the British Empire, who had just received a detailed battle report and had not had time to study it carefully, and his beautiful secretary, Ms. Belle Dora Despicio, were "invited" to board a fully armed convoy by the Director of MI6, William Wyatt, who came to visit them personally with a warrant signed by the Prime Minister. The convoy drove out of the city of London, and after a long journey on country roads, they entered a heavily guarded secret military base.

When the car drove into the military base, Cunningham and War-weary found that the perimeter of the entire military base was now tightly guarded by countless fully armed military police and agents! And around the base, War-weary also saw heavy tanks and heavy artillery! And just above the base, in the sky that was almost dusk, even a mortal like Cunningham could see fighter planes patrolling back and forth in the twilight - judging by the number, there was at least a battalion of fighter planes here!

"Tell me, have we been secretly arrested?!" War-weary tugged at Cunningham's sleeve and whispered in his admiral's ear, his tone full of suspicion and vigilance towards the surrounding environment.

This is obviously not normal, okay?

Based on Cunningham's understanding of the old couple over the years, if something went wrong, War-weary might really take action.

"It's okay, let's see..."

Cunningham shook his wife's hand and comforted her in a low voice. However, Cunningham was not at peace at this moment. His right hand even touched the pistol at his waist, and he secretly glanced at Chief Wyatt who was sitting on the other side of him and dozing against the car door.

Ever since the new MI6 William Wyatt started trying to get close to me last year, he has been trying to get close to me by using both soft and hard tactics, and basically targeting my wife! He even used things like "I guarantee that your wife's body will not be demolished after the war but will be used as a museum", and used the prime minister to pressure me, and he got a lot of my wife's weaknesses!

And now, with such heavily guarded convoys, ill-intentioned "invitations", and military bases armed to the teeth...

Cunningham couldn't help but think of the report that was handed to him before he was "invited" here. It seemed to be called "Evil Spirits Appeared and Causing Trouble in Bermuda" or something like that...

Think about your wife's identity...

"Tsk... can this really be..."

Cunningham didn't dare to think any further at this moment.

But at this moment, the car stopped with a squeak.

These "Gestapo" people are not good people, Cunningham spat secretly.

Cunningham and Warspite got out of the car with fear and looked around - Wow! All the bigwigs of the wartime cabinet were here, not to mention Wyatt standing with the Prime Minister, even his old friend, Admiral Tovey, the commander of the Home Fleet, was by his side, and even His Majesty King George VI was standing at the front of this group of bigwigs!

In addition, among this crowd, there are also the American ambassador, the American military attaché to the UK, representatives of the governors of the major core colonies, and so on and so forth ... Whether he recognizes them or not, they are all the absolute core senior bosses of the British Empire, as well as diplomats and embassy military attachés of the important allies of the British Empire!

Cunningham and War-weary felt a little dumbfounded when they saw so many big men gathered here.

This is too high a standard, a bit scary...

"This……"

Finally, Wyatt came over and spoke sincerely to the stunned and confused Cunningham couple:

"Marshal Cunningham, everyone knows about the Bermuda incident this time... As for their specific abilities, the only 'reference' we can find now is your wife, so... I can only trouble your wife..."

Wyatt shrugged and smiled sincerely - after all, he was an honest and low-key person.

However, in Cunningham's eyes, this kind of "your wife is awesome, please start the show" look... well, this is no longer as simple as being hated...

As Cunningham looked at him with murderous intent, Wyatt, with an innocent face, made an extremely gentlemanly "please" gesture, and as usual, he smiled bitterly and invited War-weary, who was gritting his teeth, to the weapons testing site...

The next day, the U.S. Navy Fleet Command issued an order with a strong welfare color: "In order to better protect the rights and interests of female employees in the Navy, with the authorization of Congress, all bases, headquarters, fleets, warships and even transport ships and logistics ships are required to register their female soldiers and female employees..."

It seems that the Americans also want to find some magical evil spirits hidden in their fleet. But then again, as long as the evil spirits are helping them, who cares whether they have sold their souls to Satan?

After the order was issued, it turned out that the morale of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet, which was busy running back and forth to cover the transportation lines between the Fiji Islands and New Caledonia, the last barrier in the waters between Australia and New Zealand, was actually boosted.

A notice was posted on a palm tree next to the New Caledonia military port dock, attracting a large number of female soldiers and female employees. In the periphery of this red dot in the green, from time to time, there were groups of male soldiers squatting under the shade of the tree to discuss and whisper, and there were even a few frivolous guys who whistled directly at the female soldiers.

After all, it is a tradition that people are "free" to do whatever they want, and are not ashamed of it but proud of it. Many "open-minded" female soldiers blew kisses and winked at the male soldiers without hesitation. However, there were also a few good girls who kept themselves clean and shrank back to their besties, and rolled their eyes at the lustful guys outside.

No one noticed that in the bustling crowd before the announcement, the nurse Slim Sarah, who had become increasingly taciturn since her sister's death, was whispering to her best friend, Enterprise, a military band singer who had dragged her out of her cabin to "join in the fun," as if complaining about something:

"Everyone is dizzy from the scorching sun, and it's so noisy and chaotic. So you pulled me out here just to watch this?"

"Yeah~" The complained energetic girl raised her lips unconsciously, but the next sentence she said instantly stopped her good friend who was about to go berserk...

"This incident should be instigated by the Germans - I say, Jiajia, do you want to avenge your sister?"

"Eh?!"

The CV-3 Saratoga, who had been missing her sister all day and had become even more taciturn, was instantly stunned after hearing this. In the next second, she was almost about to shout "I want to (avenge my sister)!" because she could hardly control her emotions...

Looking at Jia Jia who could hardly control her emotions, Qiye quickly made a "hush" gesture. When her emotions stabilized a little, he nodded slightly and reached out to stroke his best friend's hair and her somewhat fragile and melancholy heart.

Gaga wants revenge, doesn't he want to...

Speaking of which, the purpose of this "strengthening welfare registration" is not hard to guess...

Although the FBI and the military police have been keeping a close watch, how can the war situation in the Atlantic be kept secret? Not to mention the fact that a large number of transport ships were backlogged and could not go out to sea, and not to mention that the "evil spirit" had become famous as early as when Prince Eugen broke through the GIUK defense line and killed Major General Wilcox, even the Bermuda Fortress, which was supposed to be tight-lipped, could not stop the follow-up reports of Wenwen News and Huaguozi Nianbao, which were all-pervasive and ran faster than anyone else.

The result is that despite desperate efforts to suppress it, the legend of the evil spirit has become more and more rampant - the consequence of trying to cover it up is that the speculation of those with ulterior motives is actually closer to the truth...

Anyway, it’s freedom of speech, and it’s not illegal even if you talk nonsense without any real evidence!

Not to mention, the CV-6 Enterprise aircraft carrier is itself a member of the same group as the “party involved”…

—————————A few days later, on the other side of the earth—————————

The Soviet Union, which, at least temporarily, was in a common position with Britain and the United States to oppose the Third Reich, had also confirmed through diplomatic channels and secret agents that the German evil spirit had appeared in the Bermuda Fortress and had successfully escaped by directly seizing the oil depot! Even the test conducted by War-weariness in the secret base had been sent back through some secret channels.

When Comrade Stalin, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, who did not have a ship girl in his hand, saw this confirmed information, he was so scared that he jumped like an old African chief - "Hei" (scared) me.

"This...this is too surprising!"

Looking at the intelligence reports and test results in his hands, even Comrade Joseph Dzhugashvili "Iron Man", who had seen many storms and even chatted and laughed with the guards who were guarding him in exile, couldn't help but gasp.

"Luckily, we have comrades on the secret front... Our comrades are all over the country, and have even infiltrated 'their' ranks... Fortunately, fortunately..."

Uncle Si couldn't help but secretly rejoice, because the internal British information in his hand was a highly secret "Ship Girl Test Report", but it was obtained by the Soviet intelligence department using a super-high-level "trump card"!

Although, being able to obtain this level of information so quickly was a bit of luck.

Harold King Philby, one of the most outstanding Soviet spies lurking in the UK, and later known as the leader of the "Cambridge Five", the most famous Soviet agents stationed in the UK, happened to work in MI6 at this time. And by coincidence, his initial job was to contact and coordinate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs - through these jobs, he showed extraordinary talents and was unanimously appreciated by the top brass of MI6. In just two years, he went from being an ordinary liaison officer who contacted and coordinated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to a confidant of the director of MI6, and even now serves as the director of two departments - whether it is the fifth department for counter-G and counter-espionage, or the ninth department for coordination with the diplomatic department, both sides are very important, and now Philby actually occupies both departments!

The source of this information is easy to imagine - the report was originally intended to be provided by the United Kingdom to the United States - and the reason why it was not provided to the Soviet Union is also easy to explain. However, man proposes, God disposes. Who would have thought that a shrewd and capable counterintelligence director and long-term intelligence contact person of MI5 would actually be a Soviet agent loyal to the doctrine.

Although the British also told the Soviets some information about the Ship Girls through diplomatic channels because of their common enemy, such intelligence was not as detailed as this internal report.

Everyone knows that most of the Third Reich's forces are now on the Eastern Front and fighting the Soviet Union, leaving corpses everywhere and blood flowing like rivers! Once the "evil spirit" returns to participate in the battle on the Soviet-German battlefield, or even uses the supernatural power that is said to appear or disappear at any time to assassinate the Soviet leadership, it will be caught off guard and suffer heavy losses.

Uncle Si, who was originally only a little interested in the legend of "evil spirits", is now really frightened!

The acquisition of this information is simply too valuable!

Without this information, he would have been kept in the dark by the British, and perhaps at some point in the future, he would have been constrained by the British, or even subjected to diplomatic blackmail. In fact, it was not until this report was delivered that Stalin confirmed the news that Britain also had ship girls!

Those guys with thick eyebrows and big eyes actually betrayed the revolution!

"These guys, they are hiding the ship girls, and they are also hiding the performance test results of the ship girls... With the strength of the ship girls, hey! The British are indeed a bourgeois country, and they probably have bad intentions towards us..."

Looking at the secret reports from the intelligence department, Stalin could not help but secretly complain. However, he never stopped reading them - in addition to the internal reports from Britain and the United States that the comrades on the secret front had managed to obtain, the Soviet intelligence agency also specially invited relevant experts from the Ministry of Shipbuilding Industry and the Red Navy to analyze the data!

Such analysis results are undoubtedly more valuable and easier for people to understand the analysis and calculation principles of "KanColle".

According to intelligence obtained through secret channels, the British evaluation of Warspite's test data at the test site showed that, although the ship's land combat capability was not as abnormal as the battleship itself, it could definitely be called a humanoid Gundam - wait, what is a Gundam?

Stalin scratched his head and continued to read the following content.

"From the test report, although Warspite claimed to the British and American senior officials that her humanoid form is weaker than her battleship body, she is still very powerful..."

Stalin read the report carefully and soon had a basic idea of ​​the real strength of the ship girls and even the basis for calculation.

According to the report, the Warspite can move at sea five or six knots faster than her theoretical speed, reaching 30 knots. However, on land, she cannot move as fast as on the sea. But even so, the Warspite's maximum speed is a little over 45 kilometers per hour - but I don't know if it's a coincidence, this speed is exactly 24 and a half knots when converted into nautical miles! That is the "normal" speed of the Warspite!

Moreover, if we convert this, we can also estimate the land movement speed of Bismarck and his men...

"Oh? That looks pretty impressive... The humanoids are at their designed speed, but the main battleship can exceed the designed speed by five or six knots... It's not scientific, but the KanColle thing is not scientific, right?"

Her arm strength is about 250 tons, and her total maximum power output is about 166000 tons. According to the calculations of experts, this strength data corresponds exactly to her designed maximum output thrust! In other words, the strength of the ship is the designed power level of the battleship! In fact, these experts also made corresponding estimates based on this point and compared it with the performance data of Bismarck made public by Germany before the war: based on the maximum output of Bismarck's power unit of 31.5 horsepower/ knots, her maximum strength is about tons, and her arm strength is about tons - if the German data is not exaggerated...

"A total force of 400 tons, and an arm strength of 70 tons, this is already a figure that can easily lift a tank..." Even Iron Man couldn't help but break into a cold sweat when he saw this scene. He drank a sip of tea to calm himself down and continued to watch.

In terms of defense, Warspite claims that the defense of her "humanoid projection" is equal to her main armor defense, but her structural strength is basically the strength of ship structural steel - according to Warspite and British ship designers, if the structural strength collapses, the thickness of the armor will be meaningless.

In fact, this kind of thing is actually very common in the field of artillery - a bunker or a tank encounters a large-yield high-explosive bomb or a mine, and is shaken to pieces by the shock wave of the explosion without penetrating the armor. This is a common occurrence both on the battlefield and in the test field.

Although the strength of shipbuilding steel is not low, its strength index and bulletproof ability cannot be compared with armored steel. According to the performance of the structural steel used in the Bismarck ship, the strength of ST52 structural steel is 460MPA. This strength cannot withstand the continuous bombardment of the army's 152mm heavy artillery using grenades. Even according to the Soviet military's estimation, even the 120 heavy mortar can have a certain degree of damage - even if the projection area in the human form is small, the strength index will not change, and the ground will also transmit shock waves.

According to this data, the Soviet army and shipbuilding experts also made an estimate: with the firepower of the 120 mortar, if the error does not exceed five meters, after firing sixty or seventy rounds, the strength of the steel will be almost destroyed by the shock wave! If it is replaced with heavy artillery such as the 130 cannon or the 152 howitzer, even if the error is increased to the level of ten meters, forty or fifty rounds can achieve the same effect - you know, even large-caliber heavy artillery does not mean that they cannot aim directly at moving targets! Even if the Bismarck's moving speed can reach about 30.9 knots or even 31.5 knots according to experts' estimates, it is not too difficult for artillery to deal with!

--

The life-and-death Patriotic War is still going on. On the land of the Soviet motherland, the German army is still advancing, and the fascist armored divisions are still rampant on the Russian plains...

The Soviet Union was now only just recovering from the turmoil of the wartime relocation.

Behind Moscow, in Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan, Samara, Ufa, Perm, Yekaterinburg, Chelyabinsk, Nizhny Tajikistan, Tyumen, Omsk, Tashkent, Almaty, Tomsk, Novosibirsk, Novokuznetsk, Krasnoyarsk, Irkutsk, Komsomolsk, and even in the distant Far East, one factory after another was hastily moved from trains, cars, and even ox carts. The workers, who did not even have time to build factory buildings, began production directly in the open air!

On sunny days, they are scorching hot and covered in dust; on rainy days, they carry an umbrella and wear a raincoat. They eat and sleep next to the machines, running at full speed and gritting their teeth. No matter how cold the wind is or how hot the heat is, the strong workers always stay by these machines!

For the victory of the war, the Soviet working class who gritted their teeth are worthy of being the steel core of the GCD! They united and almost pushed the organization of socialist mass production to the limit! Except for a few necessary high-precision processing, they gritted their teeth and held on! Even when the workers answered that there were no sheds, they said that these steel frames and wooden boards for building sheds, if handed over to the factory, might be another tank, or another plane...

On the land of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, this socialist country known as a fighting nation, faced with the catastrophe launched by the fascist invaders that was far beyond expectations (Li), and faced with the Western powers who either watched the show or stood idly by and could do nothing to help, was not only not defeated by the sudden war, but instead thoroughly mobilized its true strength!

However, it will take time to fully restore production capacity...

On the current Soviet battlefield, although the Soviet army was fighting and retreating in an organized manner, it was still fighting very hard due to its insufficient equipment and facing the German armored forces whose military command art had reached perfection.

However, even in such adversity, the Soviet army's only firepower reliance - artillery, performed very well! In addition to anti-tank guns and field guns that specialize in attacking tanks, the suppression effect of those large-caliber artillery is also very outstanding! Especially those 120 heavy mortars with light weight, great power, and reasonable range, even at a distance of several meters, can paralyze the German tanks "passing by"! If you are lucky enough to hit the ceiling directly, the tank can also be directly smashed into a pile of scrap metal!

In the Soviet infantry regiments and infantry divisions, which were still lacking heavy artillery and even field artillery, this thing quickly became the mainstay of firepower. Under the command of front-line observers, the tactic of firing a burst of fire at the German armored forces at a distance of four or five kilometers and then directly moving away was very popular!

Although the Soviet artillery suffered heavy losses under the crazy suppression of the German artillery and air force, the output of these cheap, powerful, and crazy guns, which were not much lower than the 152mm howitzers, could completely make up for the losses on the battlefield! It was also thanks to the excellent performance of the artillery that the Soviet army was able to grit its teeth and persist in fighting and retreating in the face of powerful opponents - until the Germans were completely trapped!

And it is precisely because of this actual combat capability that the Soviet intelligence agencies and the Soviet Army determined after evaluation that as long as training and observation levels are strengthened, the 120 heavy mortar is absolutely capable of threatening the ship girls. Even a division of artillery cannot completely destroy the ship girls - after all, for them, the battleship is the main body - but the ability to knock down the projection strength of the ship girls and force them to be unable to continue to participate in the battle is definitely there.

Besides, no matter how strong the ship girls are, there are only a few of them. Considering the tens of thousands of people on the battlefield and the range of tens of kilometers, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of a few people is, it is only a point. As long as we cut off their connection with the follow-up troops, they will be defeated sooner or later!

Seeing this, Stalin felt a little relieved about the confrontation with the ship girls on the front battlefield.

(PS: This was the PLA's tactic against the US mechanized forces in the Korean War when they had almost no anti-tank weapons)

Continuing to read the report, in addition to the test report and almost all the records of German ship girls, there is even an investigation report on the "female attendant" when Hitler visited in late 40.

Stalin remembered Hitler's visit in 1940, but the parts he could not remember were supplemented by the investigation of the anti-counterrevolutionary agency. Basically, all possible problematic aspects before and after the visit have been reviewed. An inexplicable dog barking incident before the night shift at the Kirov Tank Plant in Leningrad that night was also taken into account.

I have to say that the Soviet intelligence capabilities were really strong.

The guards who were in charge that night were awarded a third-class collective merit by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for their dedication to duty.

After discovering this clue, the Internal Affairs agents who conducted further investigations on the case soon made a new discovery: when they went to the workshop to visit the workers on night shift that night, one worker swore that when he got off work before dinner, the screwdriver he had placed carefully on the table somehow fell to the ground!

The worker said that he was one of the last few people to leave when work ended, and everyone came in together when working overtime at night. The doors and windows of the workshop were locked after get off work, so the possibility of a prank was basically non-existent - since it was not a prank, then the previous barking of the dog was probably not a coincidence!

And Stalin remembered that when Hitler visited, he was accompanied by a woman whose clothes were not quite in line with the German military uniform. She was said to be Lütjens' secretary. And later investigations revealed that she seemed to have had a quarrel with a Chinese student (whose identity was a bit Emmmmmm...) at the military parade of the October Revolution in 1940?

Lütjens led the fleet in the Atlantic and won the Battle of the Mid-Atlantic. But as a secretary, he did not follow the fleet commander, but accompanied Hitler, who was much lower than him, on the visit. Besides Hitler's girlfriend Eva, there was only one woman in the entire delegation!

This looks suspicious no matter how you look at it!

Oh yes, she came with the Bismarck battleship, and her name is Bismarck...

Stalin almost broke his pipe.

The legend of KanColle, the barking of dogs in Leningrad, the female members of Hitler's delegation, and the German armored forces whose strength almost suddenly increased when the Great Patriotic War broke out - Stalin did not think highly of the Type 3 and early Type 4 tanks that Hitler used to defeat France, whether in terms of performance, design ideas or production.

But after Hitler returned that time, he immediately appointed an architect named Speer as Minister of Industry. Not only did he build tanks like a drug addict, he even completely changed the front hull of the new Panzer IV tank. The idea of ​​the modification was exactly the same as the sloped armor of the T34... Stalin's computer-like brain instantly connected all of this!

As expected, if this unscientific existence really became a spy or something - and then again, that woman also came to Moscow that time, if this woman really had the ability to "walk through walls"...

My head is a small matter, but I don’t know whether the safes containing those top-secret files are safe or not - although Beria is now organizing an investigation, and the result of the investigation is that no leaks have been found for the time being, we still cannot take it lightly!

Stalin grabbed his pipe and took several deep puffs before he calmed himself down.

"Fortunately, fortunately, in order to prevent the headquarters from being wiped out and the Soviet Union from losing command, when the war broke out I ordered the evacuation of all members of the Organization Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party (the core of party affairs), the Supreme Soviet (parliament), and the Council of Ministers (government agency). In addition, we have also made plans for the succession of wartime leaders and for the most severe period of dispersion and coordination. Even if the Germans really let that evil spirit kill me, the Soviets will never give up resistance!"

Fortunately, it has now been confirmed that the ship girl's stealth ability is not defensive against dogs - although the Soviet Union is short of everything now, at least it has not yet reached the point where it even lacks dogs. Even the use of explosive packs tied to military dogs to fight against tanks has been used on a large scale by the Soviet Union!

The British assessment said that the projection strength of the KanColle was basically equal to that of the warship's structural steel. But even if it was replaced with armored steel with higher strength and better performance, if it was chased by a group of dogs tied with explosives, it would probably not be able to withstand a round of self-detonation, right?

After reading the report carefully, Koba, who called himself Iron, looked up at the red walls of the Kremlin. It was still sunny when he picked up the report, but now the sky is full of stars! In the city with blackout, only searchlights were looking around under the starry sky for possible German reconnaissance planes.

Facing a powerful enemy, the leader of steel showed a will of steel!

only……

"But we don't have a ship girl right now, so this alone is not going to work. I have to think of other ways..."

Stalin, who had just put down his pipe, picked up his pipe again and started smoking. The veins on his forehead were throbbing due to his hard work for the war, and the Iron Man, with bloodshot eyes, continued to think.

"It seems that the navy still needs to be developed... In addition, if heavy artillery can be of some use, Voroshilov's son-in-law, Kotin of the Kirov Factory, is an expert in heavy tanks and heavy assault guns. Maybe I can think of a way to do this!"

"The British and the Americans have ill intentions. Our weapons are now shoddy and the sacrifices are too great. It seems that it is time to change our equipment strategy... Perhaps, I can take this opportunity to plan the development and construction of our future army..."

In the gradually darkening night, the dim lights in the office on the second floor of the Kremlin remained on for a long time.

ps: 10,000 words...
