Bismarck

I caught a man dressed like an officer running in from outside. He was disheveled and had obviously just been woken up. He grabbed the panicked worker in the duty room and yelled angrily.

"Explain to me what happened!"

"Sir, I don't know," the worker was startled and stammered, "It just trembled suddenly, and then the support frame fell down."

"You said the ship was shaking by itself? Do you think I'm stupid?" The officer, who was already in a bad mood after being called up in the middle of the night, immediately exploded when he heard his answer.

He threw the worker to the ground and said to his men behind him

"Catch him for me, I suspect he is a British spy"

"Yes"

Two fully armed SS soldiers immediately came up behind him, twisted the poor worker's hands behind his back, and ignoring the worker's screams, beat and dragged him away.

"Go, call the expert over to me, I want to hear the plan." The officer rubbed his head helplessly with a bad tone.

A main battleship under construction actually fell off the dock. This would be big news no matter where it happened. Now he just hoped that the battleship was okay and there was still room for repair, otherwise his life would probably be over here.

Using my scanning power, I could hear their conversation clearly.

Trembling? Ahem, so I am the culprit? I remember I was shaking with anger at the atrocities committed by the Japanese army.

This is such a big mistake. I am helpless. It turns out that the motion of the projection can also be reflected in the main body.

The weight of my ship has reached tens of thousands of tons, and there is no lifting equipment in the world that can lift me up. The engineers discussed it over and over again, and finally decided to straighten me on the spot - in fact, this is the only way.

But even straightening me up on the spot was difficult, and experts still haven't figured out why I suddenly fell off the construction platform.

As it was midnight, there was no one on the scene except for one worker on duty. Based on the description of the only remaining shipyard worker, they could only temporarily determine that the wind suddenly strengthened at night and for some unknown reason caused the resonance of the hull, causing the support platform to loosen and eventually lead to collapse.

Well, thanks to the experts. I said silently in my heart

Not only did you help me clear the supernatural rumors, but you also helped me clean up the mess. I swear I will never call you experts again.

As for the espionage activities, they were ruled out by the SS from the beginning - nonsense, if there were spies, would they be prepared to resign en masse?

Preparations for the straightening work began the next day. I was almost at the point of launching and no one could afford to delay the date.

They were busy all night.

Dock No. 9 is not far from the sea, and a large crane ship can lower the steel cable directly to me. However, the length is basically at the limit of the crane ship, so the lifting weight is not very large - but it only plays a stabilizing role, and most of the weight is actually borne by the tugboat.

Almost all the tugboats in the Hamburg port were turned over. At this time, there was no need to care about the confidentiality rules. The only requirement was that I be allowed to turn it over first.

The site was crowded with workers. Steel cables hung from my body and were then tied to the stern of the tugboat.

By noon, all the cables had been tied and the straightening operation began.

Accompanied by a long whistle, more than a dozen tugboats roared loudly, and the water surface emitted white splashes under the beating of the propellers.

The steel cable gradually tightened, and I felt the pressure on my body slowly decrease. Then I broke away from the dock wall where I had leaned against all night and hung in the air.

This is the most important part. If one steel cable breaks at this time, the other steel cables will definitely burst together because they cannot bear the suddenly increased weight. Then I will fall from mid-air - there is no doubt that the dock wall will be 90% collapsed by me, and I will probably lie horizontally at degrees.

Wait, what is that person doing?

My highly concentrated attention suddenly detected an unusual situation. On the mooring bollard of a tugboat, a crew member seemed to be secretly untying the steel cable?

Damn it, what does he want to do?!

I stood up from the bow and focused all my attention on him.

He was a tall German man, easily recognisable as an Aryan, and when I noticed him he was secretly cutting the taut steel cable on the bollard with a hacksaw, while the crew members on the other tugboats had fainted.

He was wearing a very worn, large olive green raincoat that covered his hands, and concealed his actions with the noise of the chaotic scene and more than a dozen boats, but I still noticed it.

I think I know what he wants to do.

Could it be a spy?

Although the steel cable is as thick as a forearm and looks very strong, if it is under tension, a small gap will break the entire structure. The steel cable may burst in the next second, and the chain reaction will be very terrifying. I don’t have much time left.

I want to appear on that boat immediately. As long as I appear, no one can stop my power. However, my body must abide by the rules of this world. I cannot move instantly, so I must rush from below. This way, I will be discovered by everyone.

A girl who suddenly appears, how much attention.

I thought of using the SS.

Just as everyone was helping the Bismarck to right itself, the Bismarck's ship amplifier suddenly rang.

A loud electric sound filled the air, silencing the whole scene. Everyone was stunned for a moment and looked up at the giant ship, including the spy.

I smiled and thought, "You'll be in trouble soon." I coughed a few times to lower my voice, trying to make my voice closer to the man's, and then pressed the switch.

"Everyone, now, pay attention to Tugboat No. 11, there is a spy! Catch him," I said in a concise and shocking manner, and then turned off the amplifier directly.

The scene immediately exploded, and everyone's attention immediately shifted from me to the tugboat No. 11. No one seemed to pay attention to why a voice suddenly came out of the amplifier.

Maybe spies are more attractive, which is just right.

The man was stunned for a moment, then he looked up and found that everyone was looking at him. The SS soldiers in the distance had even rushed over. He threw down his tools without any hesitation and jumped directly into the cold sea water.

Swimming in the sea in the middle of winter was really miserable. I felt sorry for him. But compared to the biting sea water, the SS's methods seemed even more terrible. I had seen how terrible the SS's behavior was during those years in the shipyard. As a result, I went from being a person who could not stand the sight of blood to being used to it.

Such behavior further confirmed his identity, and I heard the SS officers roaring in anger, swearing to capture him and torture him.

I used my scanning power to listen to their conversation, just listening silently.

After the danger I faced was resolved, I was not going to take action. I had no good feelings towards the person who wanted to destroy me, nor did I like the SS, so I didn't want to help catch them. Let them have their fun.

The SS speedboats were circling in the water. Some people had already started checking the people on the dock and were busy until midnight. Even after I was straightened up, they still didn't catch the man.

It was difficult for the man to survive in the cold sea water this winter. Just like the passengers on the Titanic, this ending was inevitable. In fact, before the SS speedboat was launched, I sensed that the man's vital signs had disappeared. He quietly let go of the dock pile where he was hiding, and then sank to the bottom of the water, motionless.

I pursed my lips, sat down on the floor of the captain's room, severed my mental attachment, and his figure disappeared from my mind.

This was the first person I killed. I looked at my hands with some complicated feelings, even though I didn't do anything.

As a battleship, I will see more tragic scenes in the future, and I will kill more people with my own hands. I took a deep breath and said to myself, "You have to get used to it."

Chapter 4: Bismarck, get in the water!

There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall. Although the SS officers tried their best to cover up this matter, it was impossible to cover up such a big thing without leaving any trace. So many shipyard workers saw me leaning against the dock, and then I spoke through the ship amplifier. The huge voice was heard by almost half of the city of Hamburg. Unless he did something crazy, this matter could not be hidden.

This was indeed the case. Soon a large group of people came to the shipyard. They seemed to be people from higher up. The arrogant SS soldiers became more restrained. Then a few days later, I found that the SS guards had been replaced. They had either withdrawn or been transferred far away.

By the way, they later started investigating the sudden sound on the amplifier, but naturally, they found no clues, and questioning the workers also yielded no results. After half a month, they had to give up, but later the spy's body floated up and was discovered, but it was really horrible.

Amen, I hope you believe in God, may the original master bless you

However, the above things have nothing to do with me, it is just a digression.

Time flew by and it was the spring of 1938, and the day of my sea trial was getting closer and closer.

Although the launching date of the Bismarck battleship was advanced by two years due to my arrival, all I know now is that time and space have changed in this matter. Other major events are still proceeding step by step according to the history I know.

The ambitions of the German Empire were already known to everyone, but due to Chamberlain's appeasement policy, the European powers still turned a blind eye to Hitler's actions, which further fueled Hitler's desires. By 1938, he finally could no longer bear it and showed his sharp claws.

Just in March, not long ago, the Empire launched a war against Austria. Just one day later, this small country was incorporated into Germany's territory and became Hitler's appetizer.

The victory of this war was too smooth, even the high command could not believe it. Austria surrendered just at the beginning, and the major powers such as Britain, France, and Russia, who they had focused their attention on defending, showed no signs of intervening. They just made a symbolic protest. Of course, this kind of protest was nothing to Hitler.

Under the deliberate manipulation of some people, the nationalist sentiment of the whole of Germany was mobilized after the victory. There was hope for the country's prosperity everywhere. Stocks, especially military-industrial stocks, rose like crazy, and the economy was also on the rise. Seeing the improvement in life, the people naturally worshipped Hitler more. He is now worshipped like a god in Germany. Even if I don't like Hitler, I have to admit that his speech was very inflammatory. He came to Hamburg and gave a speech on the streets of Hamburg. I think I will never forget the huge crowds in my life. Even people like me who have received historical education in later generations can't help but nod in agreement, not to mention the people who are enjoying his favor now.

And to be honest, since he came to power, the economic depression in Germany after World War I has improved greatly, which is also an important reason why the people trust him. If he had not launched that war in the end, challenging the whole world with the power of one country, leading to Germany's disastrous defeat, he should have been a successful leader.

My history teacher actually had admiration for Hitler when he talked about him. Of course, this thought was not in line with mainstream values, and everyone could only understand it but not express it in words. After all, growing from an ordinary soldier with no background to the head of a great country is also an inspirational example.

He once said “Without the speech there would be no Hitler” and I think I felt that.

These days, even the workers in the shipyard are excitedly talking about the future of Germany, and the topic is more popular than the news that I am about to launch the ship. When the Wehrmacht and SS soldiers were standing guard, their faces were full of smiles, which suddenly reminded me that they are also passionate young people in their early twenties.

I looked at them with mixed feelings, thinking that they would soon be rushing to the battlefield and sacrificing their lives in vain for Hitler's impossible desires. Even if they had nothing to do with each other, I would still feel sad.

----------

In early April of 1938, spring had just returned to the earth, and in the midst of prosperity, I welcomed my commander.

According to naval tradition, the sea trial of a warship must be presided over by the captain himself, and technical officers cannot be allowed to do it on his behalf. This can be regarded as allowing the warship and the captain to run in together in advance. There must be an adaptation period for each other. After all, the navy is a superstitious branch of the military, no matter which country it is in.

The sailors in my body had entered my body half a month in advance. I was a little caught off guard by the sight of nearly two thousand people. I didn't expect so many people. I was very uncomfortable with so many young men suddenly coming to my territory. Originally, this ship was where I played, and suddenly there were strange faces. Even though I knew they couldn't see me, I felt awkward. Moreover, the toilet and the bathroom were now my forbidden areas. My mental power's indiscriminate scanning always found some strange scenes, such as - well, you know, the things that young men who are full of blood and energy will do when they don't have girls for a long time. At first, I blushed when I accidentally noticed it, but after half a month, I just scanned it with a blank expression.

I'm growing so fast that even I have to admire myself. Is my face really as thick as the armor on my body?

Fortunately, these guys are hygienic and clean the toilet regularly, otherwise, hmph. I remembered the scene when the first person went to the toilet on me. The sudden water and power outage, coupled with the vibration of the ship, probably scared them to the ground.

Um, I've strayed off topic. Let's continue talking about my commander.

Admiral Lütjens was a famous figure in the German Navy. When I was reading Bismarck's information, I also took a look at him. My first impression was that he was really handsome. His Aryan appearance was indeed guaranteed, especially when he wore the navy blue uniform, which added a sense of heroism. And after I finished reading the information, I realized that Mr. Admiral was completely fooled in my time and space.

Haha, Mr. Admiral, I will save your life, I said in my heart, who told us that our destiny is now the same.

The admiral did not stay on the ship on the first day, but stayed in the guesthouse in the shipyard for one night. The next day was my launching ceremony. To be honest, I have been looking forward to this day for more than two years.

The next morning, I got up early, stood on the top of the bridge, and occupied a favorable position to watch the launching ceremony.

Around 8 o'clock in the morning, the sailors dressed in neat uniforms lined up on the pier in front of me, the military band began to play, and then the guests arrived one after another amid the welcome of the guards of honor. I watched them pass under me, and from their introductions, I noticed many people who can only be seen in history books, such as the granddaughter of Prime Minister Bismarck.

Out of respect for me, even the current Admiral Reger came to my launching ceremony, along with the Führer's special envoy. It was an honor to others, but unfortunately I didn't welcome it, I complained in my heart, Reger was one of the reasons why I sank, not to mention the Führer.

The welcome ceremony and mutual introductions lasted for half an hour, and I almost fell asleep. It was not until I heard the marshal announce the start of the launching ceremony that I perked up.

I waited two hours and you tell me it's over? A giant ball of confetti exploded from the bow of my boat, scattering confetti all over the deck, and then started filling the dock with water and that's the end of the ceremony?

Is it worthy of my two hours of Bismarck?

I will definitely dump you like a dog eating shit...

I swear on my true self!

Chapter 5: Sea trials in progress

The No. 9 dock, which was below the sea level, opened the water cut-off gate, and immediately, seawater poured in through the drainage channel. The water level in the dock slowly rose, and soon it touched my bottom. It is a wonderful thing to come into contact with water, especially for a warship that has been with water all its life.

The moment I touched the sea water, my body trembled slightly, and I clearly felt a special power surging into my body, as if it was endless, very warm and comfortable, as if a fish returned to the water. This was an experience I had never had before.

I don't know what changes will come, but it seems that my integration with the Bismarck has become higher. This feeling is so strong that I can clearly feel that driving the Bismarck is as easy as snapping my fingers. I was a little curious about how far I could go - before, I could only control the use of some equipment on the Bismarck. Now, I stared at a piece of armor plate under my feet and was surprised to find that it was slowly deforming as I imagined in my mind - the originally flat steel plate gradually bulged in the middle and gathered into a small hill.

This is?

Did I feel like I had completely merged with the Bismarck? Could I control every part of the battleship now? I stared at a rivet on the bridge again, thinking about melting it into liquid. Sure enough, the rivet turned into molten iron at room temperature and rolled back and forth on the ship's wall.

Is this considered a new skill? I thought excitedly, and found some materials to experiment with. I had so much fun that I even forgot about the launching ceremony.

However, maybe it was because I had just learned the skill, I felt very tired after just casually manipulating the matter. This behavior was purely mentally exhausting, and the consumption was quite large. But if I practiced frequently in the future, I should be able to improve my proficiency. I think this might be similar to the proficiency of skills in online games. . .

This is a life-saving job at a critical moment.

I restored them to their original state. Fortunately, no one was on the ship yet. If they saw this weird scene, they would have put me back into the furnace immediately.

The current was strong, and after only an hour the No. 9 dock was filled with seawater. My hull gradually floated with the rising seawater. After it was completely floating, the engineer observed and confirmed that it was possible to sail out of the dock. Five tugboats surrounded me, two in front towing me, and three in the back to support me, and sent me out of the place where I had stayed for two years.

The sea breeze blew past my ears, carrying the smell of the sea. I was finally going to see the sea. I felt so happy when I thought about it. My home is in the coastal area of ​​Jiangnan, and I always have a special feeling for the sea. My huge steel body slowly sailed through the narrow channel, enjoying the scenery along the way. Haha, is this a free trip to Western Europe?

Watching the small boats in the harbor cruising around me, I really felt like I was looking down on the world. When I was on the water, the masts were even taller than the docks—of course, they were not small, but compared to my "height" of several dozen meters, they were really not big enough. My hugeness was obvious.

When I tied the rope to the new dock, the launching ceremony was truly over. At Dock No. 9, two or three kilometers away, the Admiral was receiving my flag and emblem from the Marshal, which marked that I had officially joined the battle sequence of the German Navy.

I am a real battleship.

After the ceremony, the guests left and the crew of my ship returned. They had no time to rest and began to busy themselves preparing various items as soon as they returned to the ship - because in twenty-four hours I would leave the port and go to the Baltic Sea for my first sea trial.

The Admiral came back a little late, probably because he went to a dance with the officers, but his first captain's room had been cleaned up by someone, waiting for him to move in. Compared with the cramped space on other warships, the space on my 40,000 to 50,000-ton ship is quite abundant. The sailors' hanging beds are larger than those on other warships, not to mention the captain's single room. The floor of the Admiral's room is covered with solid wood, and there are furniture cabinets, desks and other things, which can be called luxurious decoration.

Because no one dared to go in, it used to be my hangout. I would sit there and daydream when I had nothing to do. Unfortunately, the real owner came, so I, the "little devil", had to give up my seat.

Alas, what a pity.

I hid in the wall of the ship and watched the Admiral go in, helplessly looking at the fact that the room was occupied, but what was going on with this paparazzi feeling?

Is this considered peeping?

Why am I not shy? I can calmly ignore so many guys masturbating at me. Even the admiral can't see me, so why should I be shy?

I walked out of the captain's room calmly. After all, I still had an extra deputy captain's room to live in, so I wasn't too angry.

Compared to my comfort, the guys down below were very busy that night. As I mentioned before, I would go out to the Baltic Sea to test the ship's performance in 3226 hours, and they were resupplying almost every second. Various materials were piled up at the dock, both in bulk and in containers, and cranes were constantly moving back and forth between the dock and the ship. Large oil storage trucks were also lined up on the shore, and the high-quality heavy oil in the oil pipeline was transported into my body - the capacity of tons is not a small number.

I was watching this busy scene from the mast, feeling emotional. Let’s not talk about the supplies, they were all for the crew, and there was no share for me anyway. But these more than 3,000 tons of heavy oil... It seems that I am a big eater. Only one country can afford to feed me, and it must be a powerful country. Small countries can’t afford it.

Given that my appetite was so huge, the boys worked for a whole day and night to finally load everything before going out to sea. But the worst thing was that I had to go out to sea just after they finished loading. Hahaha, boys, come on, I sat on the top of the bridge, enjoying the sea breeze and silently lit a candle for them.

I am Germany's secret weapon. Naturally, the Germans don't want to expose me to the world so early. Although I am sure that the British must know that Germany is building a giant battleship, and their MI6 people are no pushovers, my specific performance cannot be seen on the drawings. It must be understood through sea trials. The reason why my sea trial is conducted in secret this time is mainly to prevent snooping from other countries.
