Bismarck

only……

Looking at the waxing moon outside the window that looked like a half-cut watermelon, and then looking at the sofa and coffee table placed together in the office, as well as the two camp beds on the other side of the desk, Lily was at a loss as to how to arrange them.

Berlin was under curfew at night during the war, and anyone who walked out on the street without permission would be subject to a military police identity check. Moreover, Lily's unit was a scientific research institute, and as a researcher in a confidential unit, it was very suspicious for her to go out at night far away from the city.

Even though Lily asked for leave until the next day, that was just to prevent any accidents. After all, in wartime, who knows when the bombers from the British and American allies will come.

Moreover, due to the curfew policy and the Allied bombing, there are few hotels open in Berlin now.

At this moment, there is nowhere to go? !

"It seems that Lily will have to stay at the Admiralty Guesthouse tonight..."

Lütjens shook his head, looked at his daughter who was a little worrying and sighed slightly.

"Then Captain, I will stay with Lily in the guesthouse tonight. Lily is not from the Navy system, and it will be a bit inconvenient for her to stay in the Navy Department's guesthouse if I don't accompany her."

Bismarck, who was standing next to the captain, poured a cup of coffee for his captain and spoke softly.

The captain hesitated for a moment, glanced at Lily who was still a little depressed, and nodded slightly:

"Alright."

After all, our own ship cat and Lily are both girls.

If there are some things my daughter doesn't want to talk to me about, maybe my own ship cat would be more suitable for communication?

…………(There are regulations for the Navy Guest House, only military personnel who need to stay there for official business)…………

"Hello, may I ask you two?"

"Oh, I'm a navy captain, please give us a room, thank you."

A blonde woman wearing a peculiar military uniform and holding the rank of colonel, holding her military ID and dragging a girl with a bag in her other hand, who was obviously not a soldier, walked into the door of the Navy Guesthouse in a carefree manner. In the slightly surprised eyes of the waiter and other accommodating officers, she took the key and dragged Lily behind her directly into her room.

"who is this?"

"Both of them are beauties~!"

"Isn't that Lütjens' secretary? Who is the girl she brought with her? She doesn't look like a soldier."

"I don't know, but don't she and Lütjens and the others squeeze into the office every day?"

"Maybe there are guests."

"It's over, it's just another Jiangju."

"Oh……"

When they saw that Bismarck was just staying in the guesthouse with a girl he had never seen before, the group of curious people dispersed.

The cat and Lily, unaware of the crowd of curious people outside the door, were already preparing to rest in the guesthouse.

However, Lily still had some complaints about the shabby conditions of the military guesthouse...

"Bismarck! After all this time, there's only a safe and two hard beds here?"

"There's nothing I can do. This is a military guesthouse, so I have to make do with it..." Bismarck said apologetically.

"Oh... Never mind. It's good enough to have a place to live now..." Knowing that it was wartime, Lily, who had accepted her fate, just sighed: "When it comes to taking a shower, do you want to take it first or should I?"

"I don't need to wash, you go first, but the water supply here is not very much right now, you have to be quick."

"Then I'll go wash up first. I'm sweating all over in this weather and I feel uncomfortable."

Lily, who already felt her clothes were sweaty, quickly threw them away and rushed into the bathroom in two or three steps.

…………After washing up, the two girls started to bloom beautiful lilies on the bed again, ahem

"Don't touch me!" Bismarck shouted for help and shrank to the window shivering in his pajamas.

"Hey, don't move, let me hold you! It's very comfortable!" Lily pounced over with a wicked grin, hugged Bismarck in her arms, feeling his body temperature, a comfortable moan escaped from her mouth, extremely satisfied.

"Wow, don't bury your chest!"

"What does it matter? I'm a girl!" Lily said with a smile.

Looking at Bismarck's depressed face, he smiled and hugged him tighter, trying to keep their skin close to each other.

Then the body temperature dropped rapidly.

There was no other way. It was too hot in the summer. Bismarck's ship had air conditioning - after all, air conditioning was combat effectiveness. How could we fight without it? But this simple guesthouse didn't have that kind of thing. It was so hot that even after taking a shower, I still sweated constantly and couldn't sleep at all.

So Lily set her sights on Bismarck.

She knew that Bismarck's body was very cold, and it felt like hugging steel, so she was ready to hug her to sleep as soon as she got into bed. Unfortunately, Bismarck was too shy, and the two of them played around for a long time before she hugged him obediently.

"I feel like I'm holding an ice cube. It's so comfortable." Lily smiled with her face against Bismarck's neck.

"I feel like you are a furnace..."

They lay in silence for a while, then Lily suddenly asked.

"Come to think of it, how did you come up with all these reactor things?"

"Eh?!" Bismarck rolled his eyes and began to talk nonsense in a serious tone: "It's all because of this breakout battle - do you know how the captain was wanted? It was because he had no oil to go home, so the captain led us to rob their two fortresses before returning."

"Ah?! Rob a fortress?!" Lily was shocked. Can a fortress be robbed? But she quickly thought of another sentence: "So you all went to the repair shop as soon as you came back this time because you were attacked by the fortress!"

"Um...it's okay..." Looking at Lily's frightened face, Bismarck knew that he couldn't argue with her at this time so he had to make some excuses.

Bismarck could see that Lily had almost been unable to come back from the battle against Hood. Even though Lily didn't say it on the surface, she was extremely frightened!

This was not the era of "later generations" when it was popular to find a partner for one's parents. Even in Germany in the 40s, the customs were still relatively conservative. What's more, the father was caught in the act of snatching someone away by his daughter and was asked, "I treat you as a sister, and you actually want to be my female horse." If she hadn't been scared that time, how could she have easily settled the matter with her stubborn personality!

Now whenever she and the captain go into battle, Lily gets extremely nervous...

Looking at Lily who was a little scared and nervous, I felt a little sorry for her.

Hug her tightly, pat her head, smooth her fur, and coax her gently...

Just like when she played the role of both sister and mother to coax her own hamster - although, that girl was very cute when she was little, she was not cute at all when she grew up. Not only did she bully Lindman, she also made trouble!

He's causing trouble all day long, which makes me worry at all!

It's only because I have Lindman that I can be pampered and coaxed like this.

It hurt him.

only……

I'll probably have to go to war again after the modification is completed, but everyone can see that the Allied forces are getting stronger and stronger. If something really happens...

Ahem, well, it’s time to urge Lily to get married!

Bismarck was scheming in his mind, but his hands never stopped.

Recalling Bismarck's miserable state, Lily showed a worried expression. She gently pushed away the hand that was caressing her and raised her eyes. "Hey... Bismarck, is your fuel problem really that serious?"

"Yeah, I was also desperate without oil~ But it's okay, at least we are back." Bismarck continued to hug Lily tighter with a smile, then stretched out his hand to continue stroking Lily's fur.

It feels good, no wonder the captain always touches my head - bah! I'm not a cat who only knows how to act cute!

Bismarck, whose main body weighed 50,000 tons, thought with a malicious look on his face.

"So, that's why you thought of nuclear power?" Lily pushed away the claws that were still playing tricks on her hair with some dissatisfaction, and glared at a battleship, but soon she became worried again: "Come to think of it, it's thanks to you that you can think of so many things. I've been working in the Physics Research Institute for almost half a year, and there hasn't been much progress..."

Seeing Lily like this, the clever Persian cat Gulu knew what the problem was in an instant: "It must be the fault of those masters, so there was a commotion at that time..."

"yes……"

Lily was a little depressed. It was almost common knowledge that her father and Bismarck had a big fight with Planck when they first took over as director of scientific research.

I am not very popular in the research institute, and I don’t know if this incident has any impact on it.

After all, he was his father, and he was an "ignorant soldier representing the government". In this group of self-righteous scientists, he was probably considered an undercover agent...

Besides, I am not really a very talented person...

Especially compared to a genius like Senior Frog, she even felt a little inferior. After all, he was a real white swan, while she was just an ugly duckling...

only……

Lily suddenly thought of something and raised her head. She stared at the confused Persian cat with her fierce eyes without blinking: "Bismarck, tell me the truth! Are you and Dad planning to cause trouble for the institute?"

"Eh? What do you mean?!"

Bismarck was confused.

"Well... you guys had a quarrel with them in the institute last time, so actually everyone in the institute has been talking about this. And dad was going to ask me about the institute today, right?" Lily snorted, and seemed to be even more depressed. "Bismarck, you know, everyone in the institute says I'm the eyes and ears of the government, so apart from Brother Frog, no one talks to me properly... and dad asked me these questions again today... I really don't want to be caught in the middle!"

Lily sighed, suddenly looked up and closed her eyes tightly.

Bismarck was stunned and saw the tears in her eyes that she couldn't hide in time.

Lily was crying?!

Bismarck was startled and quickly asked her to bury her head in his chest... Soon her chest was wet, but fortunately, Lily did not cry out loud, but just sobbed silently in grievance.

But this made Bismarck feel even more uncomfortable. She guessed that she must be very uncomfortable being caught in the middle, but she did not expect this situation, so she quickly began to comfort her.

This child probably doesn’t even have anyone to comfort him in the research institute.

"It's okay, it's okay." Bismarck patted her shoulder.

Bismarck didn't hear the words "Senior Brother Frog", but now she almost understood: Lily has become like this now, most likely because this group of people suppressed and excluded her.

Those people have monopolized almost the entire academic field. The captain was criticized a lot when he took office as the officially appointed scientific research director. Now it is too easy for him to control a small researcher.

Poor Lily was used as a punching bag.

Besides, this girl is a bit stubborn to begin with. She is inexplicably unhappy with those great gods every day. She doesn’t say it, but she is probably a bit sensitive in her heart...

So the captain said...

"These guys only know how to bully people!"

Bismarck cursed in his heart and wished he could tear a few of them apart to vent his anger.

She knew that these so-called research institutes were treacherous, but she had never expected the environment inside to be so depressing.

It would be fine if these scientists were shirking their responsibilities, but this...

I know Lily's personality, but she has been made like this! How can I tolerate this? !

The so-called depression is probably caused by being suppressed for too long! Fortunately, I cried today, otherwise I would not know how serious the problem would be if I found it later!

What a bunch of old bastards!

Bismarck was thinking about his worries while constantly comforting Lily...

(PS: Anyone who has studied as a graduate student or doctoral student knows that some professors really treat their students as slaves...)

After staying in the room for half an hour, Lily's sobbing finally stopped.

"Alright, don't cry anymore. Your dad really doesn't want to cause any trouble. Don't worry."

Lily finally stopped sobbing and huddled in Bismarck's arms, lowering her head without saying a word. Even when Bismarck looked at her, she turned her head away unnaturally, as if she didn't want others to see her...

How repressed must one be to feel so insecure... I feel so sad.

"Actually, your father just wants to see if you are happy at work... Lily, if you are unhappy, then ask him to transfer you? Transfer you to a better unit?"

For some reason, Bismarck felt more and more that she was becoming more and more comfortable as a mother...

"Bismarck..."

However, Lily, who had stopped sobbing, finally spoke softly:

"I don't want my dad to help me transfer..."

Bismarck was confused: "Why?"

Why should I stay there and continue to be bullied?

"Because... I'm also afraid that they will complain and say that Dad is abusing his power for personal gain... I know that the Admiral of the Navy on Dad's side has been causing trouble for Dad. If these scientists are involved, Dad will be in even more trouble..."

"you…"

Bismarck was very surprised!

Although it had been several years since the events between the captain and Raeder, and Lily had been kept secret from him as much as possible, she not only knew about it, but she was actually very concerned about it!

"But, Redel hasn't been causing any trouble lately, has he?"

Bismarck tried to comfort Lily, but Lily sighed resignedly:

"Don't lie to me about this. I'm not a child anymore. Let me put it this way. Professor Heisenberg has always been dissatisfied with (President of the German Physical-Technical Society) Eschau. He has been looking for someone to replace him with someone who is more obedient to him... Eschau has some influence in the scientific and military circles, but what about Dad? Let alone Professor Heisenberg, it's good enough that the Admiral didn't cause trouble for Dad!"
