Bismarck

"We know." Bismarck said calmly.

"Eh?" Looking at the two calm people in front of him, Qiberin was a little dumbfounded.

But come to think of it, the relationship between Bismarck and the commander is no longer news.

It seems that even the commander's daughter knows about it...

"Okay, okay, you two don't care anyway, but..." Zeppelin's face darkened: "But what did they say today? Two ship girls on one quilt, and I was included... Wait, what are you doing..."

Zeppelin had just said this with a dark face, when he discovered that, except for Lütjens who was glancing out the window, Bismarck was already laughing on the sofa.

"Yes, that's right, we two sleep on the same blanket~" The Persian cat was laughing and was about to flip over to the camp bed next to the sofa. The captain's bed was on the other side of the desk.

Everyone who slept in the office wore military uniforms. Even so, the captain slept on the other side of the desk in order to avoid suspicion.

"You said yourself that you don't plan to find a boyfriend, what are you afraid of~" Bismarck, who was laughing so hard that tears came out, wiped his eyes and threw a pillow at the captain: "Besides, the most embarrassed person in this matter is the captain, okay."

"Hey, you..." Lütjens turned his head in dissatisfaction when he heard that his own Bismarck dared to say that to him. But before he could say a word, a pillow hit the captain in the face.

The Persian cat over there was laughing heartily and had already fallen on the sofa with laughter.

Qiberin stood stupidly at the door, looking confused.

----------

"We want to see Marshal Redder. We have something to complain to him!"

"What? Marshal Redder isn't here? Is he at the Fuehrer's meeting? He won't be back for two days?"

"...No! I must appeal this matter to His Excellency the Marshal!"

A loud voice came from outside the door, and it sounded like the owner of this voice must be very angry.

And I don't know why, this voice sounds so familiar.

Zeppelin hurriedly called Bismarck, who was laughing and playing in the room, to stop. After Bismarck stopped, he also released his perception and went to see what was happening outside with Zeppelin.

However, he unexpectedly saw two familiar people, a man and a woman. The man was glaring at the secretary of the General Headquarters in front of the secretariat of the General Headquarters outside Raeder's office, while the woman was gently pulling Top's sleeve, as if to persuade her captain not to lose his temper in the headquarters...?

"Is this Toph? And Prince Eugen?"

Why are they here?

(PS: Goering's attitude towards the Navy Aviation was basically correct. Historically, the 40th Reconnaissance Wing was recruited by Dönitz to the Navy for half a year while Goering was on vacation. When Goering came back, the first thing he did was to get the 40th Reconnaissance Wing back from Dönitz, but the second thing he did was to let the 40th Reconnaissance Wing continue to cooperate with Dönitz as it had done before. Dönitz said in his memoirs that half of his submarine intelligence came from the code-breaking group. As for the other half... although Dönitz did not directly state the source because he wanted to discredit Goering, even if the memoirs mentioned "aerial reconnaissance" at every turn, it can be seen that the remaining half of the intelligence was actually provided to him by the German Air Force reconnaissance planes.)

Chapter 521: Eugengen's Three Views

For almost a month, Eugen hardly saw his deputy captain.

Last time, I was dragged by this deputy captain to attend some "social gathering". On the way home, I heard the news about my sister Bismarck's victory in the Battle of El Alamein, but the deputy captain forced me to turn off the radio halfway through the broadcast, so we parted on bad terms.

Then around two o'clock in the evening, Top came back.

Top was actually a very responsible captain. After returning, no matter how tired he was, he would go to see how Eugen was doing. And although Top was extremely tired on weekdays, before he left, he would always assign certain work plans and tasks to his subordinates based on the situation reported by Prince Eugen the day before, and ask them to leave the report with Eugen in the evening, and he would not go to bed until he had read and approved it.

Every time Top stayed up late to review reports, Eugen would come to make coffee for him. She was a very caring girl with a soft and cute voice. In fact, her voice alone could make Top relax.

Although Eugen always persuaded Top not to work so hard, Top's answer was: "This is the captain's duty, and it also concerns you."

But today, things are clearly a little different.

When Top came back, he saw Eugen looking a little depressed and distracted.

"what happened?"

Putting down the report in his hand, Toph asked.

"Top, is my sister hated by the navy?"

"?" Top was stunned.

"The deputy captain took me out to attend some kind of social gathering today."

"Social gathering? There's nothing good about participating in that kind of activity." Top said with a smile. For some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable.

But before he could say anything, the simple-minded Eugen was confused.

"Eh? Didn't you say you thought I was bored at home alone and asked him to take me out to play?"

When did Top say this? This kid is not a good person to begin with. Why would Top let him take Eugen out to play? What if he leads this innocent cruiser astray?

"What?" Top was also stunned.

But after all, they were adults, so they quickly figured out what was going on. Turning from his chair and looking at the confused little Eugen, Topper jokingly told the innocent Eugen not to be fooled: "Eugen, that kid is lying to you. Don't pay attention to him if you encounter such a thing in the future, especially don't believe his lies."

As Top spoke, he began to mutter in his heart: "This kid, it's fine that you airdropped here to monitor me, but now you even deceived a ship girl."

Surveillance is fine, but lying to Eugen is the same as stealing Top's girl, which of course makes him very unhappy.

Seeing Top turning around and looking at him seriously, the cute Eugen nodded blankly: "Yeah, I see."

"And then what? Then he took you to that social gathering?"

"Well, that social was so boring, so I said I wanted to go back, and then he said he would take me back. On the way, he started to say he wanted to play some songs for me, but when I turned on the radio, I heard the news. As soon as they mentioned that Sister Bismarck and her team had won a victory in the Mediterranean, the deputy captain got angry and turned off the radio, and then, then..."

As Eugen was talking, her little head with golden twin tails drooped again, just like her mood.

"So that's how it is. Lütjens told me about the incident in Berlin caused by Raeder because of the ship girl. It looks like this matter is not over yet." He was worried about the matter in his heart, but he began to comfort his own ship girl: "It's okay, it's okay. How about this, I'll go talk to the deputy captain tomorrow."

"Well. So Top, can you go to bed early tonight?"

Eugen nodded, but looking at the reports on Top's desk, the little ship girl was still a little worried about Top's health and gently tugged at Eugen's sleeve.

"It's okay, I'm almost done, I'll go to bed after I finish reading these."

"oh···"

Eugen, with her twin ponytails hanging down, felt even more unhappy when she saw Top, who was still struggling with the report and had to go out on an "external assignment" early tomorrow morning and also had to find time to talk to the deputy captain.

But fortunately, Eugen was by my side, such a lovely girl, and with her company, I didn't feel bored the whole evening.

---

the next day.

It was still dark, and Top got up at five o'clock as usual. But this time, he did not get off the ship and get in the car to go on the "outbound assignment" as usual, but knocked on the deputy captain's door.

"what?"

The sleepy deputy captain got up reluctantly, opened the door and let Top in.

"There's something I think I should talk to you about." Top looked at the playboy in front of him who had a good appearance but no substance, suppressed his temper, and asked without emotion: "Eugen told me that you called her out for a social gathering yesterday, and you even called her in my name. What did you want to do? She doesn't like that kind of place at all."

"Captain, are you meddling in this too much?" the deputy captain said impatiently. "She is a battleship of the Grossdeutschland Navy, not your wife. As the deputy captain, can't I ask her to go out and play? I am following orders from above to make our battleship more sensible of life, like a human being, and not be completely unsympathetic."

"Why did you turn off the radio when she was halfway through her journey back? Why did you still give her a cold shoulder?" Top said patiently. Knowing that the vice-captain was monitoring him, Top usually didn't care about his attitude, nor did he expect him to help him with his work, but it was not good to bring Eugen with him like this.

He is now like a father, expelling all the bad elements around his daughter.

"Top, you're meddling too much. Besides, some things don't need to be said too bluntly, so you'd better be sensible." The deputy captain sneered, "You came here early in the morning just to talk about this?"

"What do you mean?"

"Hmph, do you want me to explain it more clearly?" The deputy captain snorted and sneered: "Let me make it clear. You used to work under Lütjens, and now Lütjens has hooked up with that fat guy Goering, so you'd better draw a clear line with him, otherwise nothing good will happen to you."

"Besides, you came to question me so early in the morning. Are you planning to take your warships and surrender to Lütjens? Oh, yes. They are all ship girls, and they just happened to be together. What do you think will happen if the marshal finds out?"

"What do you mean? Want to tell on me? And then step on me to climb up?" Top gritted his teeth when he heard this.

Originally, there was no relationship between him and Lütjens that was of the level of forming a clique for personal gain, but it seemed that this deputy captain was planning to do something.

"What do you mean? You know it yourself. I tell you, yesterday Eugen's eyes lit up when she heard that Bismarck had won the battle. Can you guarantee that she will be loyal to the navy?"

"Bismarck won the battle, and that was also a victory for the navy. But did Eugen think that this was partisanship?" Looking at the greasy-haired and unreasonable deputy captain in front of him, Top was a little angry.

"A victory for the navy? Hehe..." The deputy captain also began to make specious arguments with a sneer on his face: "Lütjens has long since defected to Goering. He is a traitor to the navy. Goering let Udet take charge of the naval aviation last year. Don't say you don't know. I won't say anything else. Just look at it yourself. Have you ever seen a battle fought by Lütjens in the Mediterranean where the air force didn't send planes to intervene?"

"You..." Looking at this guy's unreasonable attitude, Topper's face turned blue with anger: "Then let me ask you, there was a victory in the Mediterranean, can't Eugen just listen to it as news? Is there anything wrong with her listening to her sister's news?"

"Hehe. Have you acknowledged that the victory was won by Goering's planes?" The deputy captain's words were incoherent, but his meaning was just one: you, Top, let Eugen listen to the news because you wanted to join Lütjens.

"Tell me yourself, is the carrier-based aircraft wing on the Zeppelin part of the Air Force? Goering's Air Force supported Lütjens in winning the battle. You all listened with great interest. Do you also want to join Goering? Huh?"

"Oh, by the way, you fought with them at Dunkirk and Newcastle, and it was the Air Force that fought them, right? You served as an escort for the Zeppelin aircraft carrier, and you also paid five destroyers as compensation. Is that how you gave away our navy's wealth to the Air Force?"

"Don't we need the air force to cover air superiority in naval battles now? Are you making a specious argument? According to your theory, we don't even need air force reconnaissance and air superiority coverage?" Looking at this guy who was trying to make trouble even when he was not making sense, Top was almost mad: "If we hadn't lost air superiority in the last Battle of Bear Island, and we were forced to disperse our forces to search and worry about the British launching carrier-based aircraft at dawn, how could we, with so many ships, not be able to defeat the Tovey Renown?"

As soon as he finished speaking, looking at the vice-captain opposite with a sly smile on his face, Top suddenly felt that something was wrong.

As expected, the villain who is good at scheming and twisting right and wrong immediately showed up.

"Haha, Top, just tell me what you said. Are you from the navy or the air force? Do you have some dirty deals with Goering and Lütjens behind the scenes?"

"What do you mean, man?" Top was about to explode.

He didn't ask for any help from this person, but he couldn't be so stupid. Being stupid would be an eyesore!

"What do you mean? You know better than me. The tradition of our navy is political neutrality, but look at you, and then look at your boss Lütjens, and the ship girls you brought up. When they talk about the Air Force, they talk about their fathers in the same tone."

"You are kidding..." Top's fists were clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound.

"Nonsense? Why don't you look at yourself? You keep saying air force, air force, air force. Look at your tone. Without the air force, our navy can't fight? Without reconnaissance aircraft, we wouldn't send you to conduct reconnaissance? The Battle of Bear Island was fought at night. Didn't we discover it ourselves using Prinz Eugen as a reconnaissance ship?"

"you--"

Everyone knows that the detection range of an airplane is much larger than that of a warship, but Top is not good at speaking, and was choked by this guy's unreasonable arguments. He was so stifled that he almost couldn't speak.

The deputy captain looked at Top and became even more arrogant. He simply put on a military supervisor's face and raised his chin to spray at Top:

"I'll tell you. The higher-ups sent me here to watch over you because they thought you were not very reliable. And you were so ignorant today. But it doesn't matter. There are so many people in the German Navy. You are one of them. When you take off your uniform, I will help Eugen change his outlook."

But before he could laugh, Top was furious when he heard that this guy was going to attack Eugen.

"Help Eugen to 'change his perspective'?! You bastard!"

A fist, a fist of a weathered old sailor, hit the greasy-haired deputy captain's nose directly, causing a puddle of dirty nose blood to appear on the spot, and Top, who was furious, was still not satisfied, so he grabbed the guy's hair and threw him to the ground, then rode on him and started beating him up.

Poor deputy captain, that pretty boy, how could he resist the ravages of an angry old sailor like Top.

Chapter 522: A fight broke out at the garrison!

"There's a fight! There's a fight!"

"The captain and the deputy captain are fighting!"

"Come and stop the fight!"

Such a big commotion in the vice-captain's room seemed so jarring at less than six o'clock in the morning. The officers living nearby got up from their beds and rushed to the vice-captain's room.

But when these officers rushed in, they saw Captain Top's "secretary" with blond twin ponytails trying to mediate the fight.

After all, if we compare running, Eugen is the fastest on the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen.

Originally, Eugen knew that Top wanted to "talk" to the deputy captain, and Eugen was actually eavesdropping on the conversation between the two grown men who had a bad relationship to begin with - after all, it was with his real body, so he could keep an eye on it at all times.

But when the deputy captain kept calling him "Lütjens's lackey", Eugen felt very uncomfortable: the victory won by his idol Bismarck in the Mediterranean with great effort was said by this guy to be almost worthless?

And it’s not over yet…

The deputy captain who had pretended to be so elegant when he "dated" him the day before, now completely tore off his fake mask and said the most unpleasant things. Not only did he call Bismarck a traitor to the navy and Top a lackey of Lütjens, he even said, "Wait until you take off your military uniform, and then I will change Eugen's worldview." Eugen felt even more angry.

"Deputy Captain, how could you be like this?"

Eugen has a very good temper. She can be unhappy, depressed, and even withdrawn, but she never gets angry. This innocent and cute child doesn't even curse. Instead, she acts more like a cute girl. And when the innocent Eugen felt angry, Top, who heard the deputy captain shamelessly say that he wanted to adjust and teach his own ship girl's values, was furious.

It was only when Top raised his fist and started to "talk" to the deputy captain using physics that Eugen finally reacted.

Although it was still a little before 6 o'clock, some officers who got up early had already woken up. Fighting made a lot of noise. Eugen saw that things were not going well, so he quickly showed up and rushed into the vice-captain's room first, and began to persuade his captain who was riding on the vice-captain and beating him up.

"Top, stop fighting! Everyone else has stood up. Fighting will have a bad impact on you." Eugen was anxiously spinning around beside him. The poor little girl had never encountered such a thing, so she didn't know how to deal with it.

"Don't worry about me! Even if it has a bad influence, I will beat him to death!"

He actually dared to say such words. Even if he is the one in a higher position, he would beat him. This is intolerable!

"But...if you hurt him, you will also be punished." Seeing that his captain did not listen to advice, Eugen was so anxious that he almost cried.

"Punishment? Humph..." Hearing about punishment, Top was stunned, but immediately exploded again: "Don't you know? This guy wants to tell on me and get me out, and then he said that if I'm gone, he can transfer and teach you a lesson... I let you tell on me, and then I'll kill you first!"

How can anyone tolerate blatant poaching?

Top shouted, punching harder.

At this time, several heads appeared at the door of the vice-captain's room - they were all officers of Prince Eugen's body, as well as orderly soldiers and duty soldiers. Seeing the captain riding on the vice-captain and beating him up, Secretary Eugen, who was about to cry, tried to stop the fight. The group of people could not help but be stunned.
