Chapter 253: Eugen Eugen

After a breakfast that left a deep impression on the butler, Bismarck wiped his mouth, stood up, took Zeppelin's hand and walked out.

"Wait, where are you going?"

Lütjens asked after noticing something was wrong.

"By the way, Captain, I'm going to go out with Zeppelin. It's her first time in Berlin, and I'm taking her around."

"Not going to the Navy Department?" Lütjens frowned and said, "Maybe I have something else to do today."

"Um...but Zeppelin and I have already agreed on this." Bismarck showed a flattering expression. "Okay, it doesn't matter where I go anyway, and Zeppelin will be leaving soon..."

Zeppelin curled her lips speechlessly, she felt as if she was being used.

What was Bismarck's appearance called? Zeppelin squinted his eyes and thought for a while. It seemed to fit the word she had said to herself before - servile and fawning.

Yes, that's it.

But it seems that Lütjens enjoyed this very much. Although Zeppelin was very "disdainful" of the expression made by the person who called herself his sister, Bismarck looked very cute - so Lütjens just frowned slightly and agreed.

"Yeah!" Bismarck, who had successfully gone out, shook his fingers excitedly.

"Flatter..." Zeppelin was finally able to express this meaning in German.

"Well, my dear sister." Bismarck wanted to hug Zeppelin like a grape, but he subconsciously realized that he was not tall enough, so he put his arms back awkwardly. "Ahem, let me tell you, there is another proverb, which also comes from the East - men should be soft when they should be soft, and hard when they should be hard."

"There is such a strange proverb?" Zeppelin didn't believe Bismarck, who was obviously talking nonsense - because there was a strange smile at the corner of her lips.

"Of course..."

"Then tell me, when is your captain soft and when is he hard." Zeppelin said lightly.

"Of course - uh." Bismarck's face suddenly turned red, she discovered a serious mistake!

What she originally wanted to explain was that a real man can bend and stretch!

Why was he so...dirty after being asked back by Zeppelin?

On the captain's body... Of course...

"Can't tell?" Zeppelin smiled and touched Bismarck's head. "Just tell you not to talk nonsense."

"I just don't know how to explain it!"

"Then explain."

===================

While Bismarck and Zeppelin were having fun, Lütjens was on his way to the airport.

Although he had an unpleasant argument with Raeder yesterday, he had to attend a battleship launching ceremony today - another Hipper-class heavy cruiser was launched.

"Prince Eugen? Although the name is not very good, it is still a good ship." Lütjens had commented on this ship before.

Speaking of Eugen's name, it was a compromise between all parties, because Germany's Hipper-class battleships were all named after people. At that time, Germany had just annexed Austria, so in order to take care of the feelings of the Austrian people, it decided to name it after an Austrian general - and Austria had fought wars with the Italians more than once in history. Having to take care of both Austria and Italy, Germany, who was the father of both, began to choose a name with trouble...

A group of famous generals who were purely Austrian, especially those who had fought against Italy, were quickly eliminated. The Austrian navy was not chosen either. In history, Austria only had a navy for a short time when it merged with Hungary to form the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the opponent of that navy was Italy. In addition, those with little fame and those who had not won major victories were not chosen. In the end, after much selection, His Royal Highness "Prince Eugen" was chosen.

Prince Eugene Eugen, an Italian, served Austria all his life and was one of the two greatest generals in Austrian history. He also led troops to help Italy resist the French invasion. So this name was naturally selected.

Although the name is very similar, Lutjens himself knows that Italy now has a light cruiser named after Prince Eugen...

Although Lütjens was not very satisfied with this matter, he was still looking forward to the battleship itself. At a time when the number of German battleships was in short supply, launching this large battleship was a good thing no matter how you looked at it.

In the last Weserübung, the newly launched Blücher was sunk in the Oslo Fjord without even achieving any combat results, which made the entire German Navy heartbroken. Hopefully, this Hipper class will have better luck.

However, Redl said that he wanted to let Lutjens go with him to attend Prince Eugen's launching ceremony - in fact, it was also an attempt to win back people's hearts after yesterday's scolding.

The captain didn't care much about this and nodded directly to accept the task.

Of course, if he knew what happened later, he would definitely regret not bringing Bismarck with him. He would have brought her with him no matter what...

Prinz Eugen was a battleship built in the port of Kiel, so after arriving at the Admiralty, it was transferred to the airport and took a special plane to the city of Kiel.

On the plane, he also heard some things about the battleship, and learned that it had been damaged by a British bomber a month ago, but the damage was not great, so it was able to serve on time.

He knew that Prinz Eugen was equipped with Germany's most advanced sighting and observation system. It was another advanced warship, but he didn't know what the engine room system was like, Lütjens thought as he looked at the blue sky outside the window.

The steam turbines of German battleships have always been unreliable, and the same is true for other large and medium-sized battleships - except for those three special ones, I hope there will be some improvements.

But fortunately, if you participate in the launching ceremony, you just need to stand aside as a guest and you don’t have to do anything yourself.

Soon, the plane arrived in Kiel and a navy car came to the airport to greet it.

It was almost noon when Lütjens-Leger and his party arrived at the Kiel Shipyard. Prince Eugen's induction ceremony did not begin until they arrived and Leger took the stage.

"This is a happy day for the German Navy..." Raeder's speech rang out.

Bored Lütjens looked around, and at first he just glanced casually, but suddenly a figure's back caught his eyes.

The slender figure had her back to the podium and was looking up at the quietly anchored Prince Eugen.

"What's going on? Is Bismarck here?" he asked in surprise. Same clothes, same hat, and long golden hair.

"No, it's not Bismarck, she's still in Berlin." Lütjens' breathing became a little faster, and he quickly denied his own judgment. Bismarck was still in Berlin with Zeppelin.

And after careful observation, it can be seen that the girl is not tall enough. Bismarck's hair is straight and hanging down, while this girl has two short braids.

Looking at his back, he looks like Tirpitz when he was little...

Tirpitz as a child...

Apart from those three, no one else would have such clothes.

Lütjens thought of something and looked at the heavy cruiser - the Prinz Eugen under the scorching sun looked like it was carved from the same mold as the Bismarck-class cruiser.

Could it be...

Lütjens couldn't believe it.

At this moment, the girl suddenly turned around.

Eye contact——

ps: I got 40 points in math, I really failed... Alas. I will go home tomorrow, and the updates should be stable after that.

Chapter 254: Who is the Captain...

My name is Prince Eugen. From the day I became conscious, I knew that I was a glorious member of the German War Navy - although I didn't know the title of the German War Navy until a long time later.

I learned from the workers who built me ​​that I was launched in 1938 and have been staying in Kiel ever since, but I am aware that was 1939 or so later.

Later I found out that because I became conscious too late, I missed my sister's visit to Kiel, and I didn't know that there were other people like us in this world, which directly led to the exposure of our identities...

I'm in tears. Because of this, my sisters have always called me "Ogen-Ogen-Ogen-O" with fish lips. It's obviously not my fault!

It’s my fault that I was born late...

Well, I touched the bump on my head silently, and I'm going to get back to the point.

It was a sunny morning. After a night of preparation, the tranquility of Kiel Harbor was broken early. Today was the day when I, Eugen, would serve!

Hehehe, so happy.

Finally, I'm joining the German Navy.

Since 1939, I have been hearing about the horrific achievements of the battleship Bismarck. Later, the Tirpitz appeared, but recently it seems that there is also an aircraft carrier Zeppelin?

However, history will soon be made by me, Eugen!

Eugen is the best!

I was rubbing my hands, eager to give it a try. If those unconscious warships could achieve such a record, what about me?

One day, I will let the Führer come to my bridge for inspection in person!

I have never known why I developed consciousness... Because in the human knowledge system I know, a steel battleship like me is lifeless and is just a controlled weapon. But I developed consciousness anyway.

According to the workers in the shipyard, when I was just being built, there seemed to be strong lightning and thunder one night, and I was even struck by lightning. I don’t know if this was the reason... At least, I have never felt that other warships in Kiel Port have their own thoughts.

Since I had no peers, I was always lonely, and I always liked to talk, so after I learned human language and other knowledge, I started to interact with them. As for humans, I always got along very well with them, whether they were shipbuilders or navy personnel, they were all very friendly to me - of course, I didn't tell them that I was the Prinz Eugen.

Humans need to wear clothes. When I was still virtual, I didn’t have to worry about this. But when I became physical, I had to face this problem - but it seems that I don’t have to worry about it?

I found that after materializing, I will be wearing a set of clothes. It is obviously a military uniform, but it is a little different from the people around me. It is hard to describe the feeling. It is very beautiful. Ben Eugen admits that he likes it very much, but this skirt is a little too short... And it cannot be modified. If you move a little bit, it will...

I don't know if that's why those soldiers like to play with me...

Okay, Eugen has gone off topic again. I do like to talk... Sister Bismarck always says that I can't get to the point. She often says to me - get to the point.

Well, let’s get to the point…

Today is my day of service, and my main body, the heavy cruiser Prince Eugen weighing more than 10,000 tons, is quietly docked at the dock.

In fact, according to what I have learned, my captain should have arrived very early, at least not much later than the sailors, because they all need time to get familiar with me. However, my captain has not arrived yet, and only the deputy captain is in charge of the daily training of the sailors...

I don’t know where I went.

But I also heard that my captain seemed to have been temporarily replaced, which is why he has not arrived yet.

But today is my day of service, it should be here today, the deputy officers all said that the captain will come with the marshal.

I have never appeared on the ship, even after the crew arrived in Kiel, I did not show up in front of everyone, and I was always waiting for the captain to appear.

Of course I have to tell the captain my identity, because only the captain will be the first to know it!

I am looking forward to it with excitement, Eugen will also have a captain!

The man with Admiral Raeder is the captain!

Of course I know Marshal Reger.

I remember.

At about 10 noon, a team of cars slowly drove up to the rostrum. I saw that everyone stood up to greet them, even the two deputy captains with very high military ranks. I realized that it must be the marshal who had arrived.

I showed up quickly and ran into the venue. On the way, a soldier asked me why he hadn't seen me for a long time. I didn't even have time to answer his question.

Captain, Captain, Eugen must be lifted high!

For the first time, I realized how majestic my ship looked in the sun. I looked at myself as if I were dazzled, and then turned around.

Hey, the captain is looking at me too...

I quickly smiled at him, trying to leave a good impression!

Does the captain know me? I saw the captain's expression suddenly become very tangled. His eyes were first puzzled, then thoughtful, and finally suddenly enlightened...

He must have known something... Although Eugen couldn't figure it out with his brain, I was sure of this.

However, there are too many people here now, so let's wait a moment.

I waved to "my" captain and left excitedly. I'll go up and talk after the meeting is over!

I was really happy at that time, Captain Eugen was so handsome!

Oh, unfortunately, I was beaten by Sister Bismarck later on—the reason was that I actually wanted to steal her position as captain.

After waiting for a long time for their ceremony to end, the captain and the marshal walked out together, and I quietly followed them.

Hey, how come there are three people?

I quietly hid aside and observed.

Moreover, the three people did not walk together. The captain walked behind two people, and the marshal was talking to another person. The atmosphere felt very strange.

The "Captain" seemed to be thinking about something.

"Lütjens, what are you thinking about?" the marshal in front turned around and asked.

What, Lütjens?!

My captain is Lütjens? !

I know Lütjens!

The captain of the battleship Bismarck!

Could it be that he came to my place to be the captain?
