Bismarck

I nodded and followed. After the fire control room was destroyed, I took over the armament of the entire ship, and I made my own judgment on all targets.

Just now, my salvo sent a British battleship to hell - I scanned its armored area in advance, and then aimed all the reinforced armor-piercing shells there. A shell penetrated the thick armor defense and hit its ammunition depot, which exploded inside. Naturally, nearly 100 tons of shells inside exploded in an instant, and the poor battleship didn't even have time to react. Her front two turrets flew up first, and then huge smoke and dust hundreds of meters high surrounded her bridge with flames and shock waves. All of them, including her captain, were killed on the spot, and her entire front part disappeared, and finally sank in a hurry within a few minutes.

This is the third battleship I have sunk. Using my almost cheating ability, I specifically attack the ammunition depots of the battleships. The improved armor-piercing shells can always hit the target accurately and then explode. As for the light shells? I abandoned them long ago.

The Allied fleet also suffered heavy losses. The French fleet was almost wiped out. I also destroyed three British battleships, and the rest were also badly damaged in previous battles. It seemed that the only intact fleet was the American fleet - because I had no ability to fight back against the American Iowa-class battleships. My armor-piercing shells could not penetrate their armor at all. They were either bounced off by the inclined surfaces or were blocked. Apart from damaging some of their surface facilities and wiping off some of their paint, which was not beautiful to begin with, there was no other damage.

This is simply perverted...I sighed.

The only one injured was Iowa. I accidentally shot through the top of his conning tower, but apart from the heavy casualties, there was no other damage. Without the captain's command, his 406 shells were still wreaking havoc in the air.

Every time a 406 shell hits my body, even if the pain is cut off, I can still feel the suffocating pressure. Although my surface armor is as weak as paper in front of him, the concept of comprehensive protection still has some advantages. At least the internal damage control is easier to control...

"What's the situation now?" The captain sat down with a gloomy face.

"The French fleet has disappeared, and the British also suffered heavy losses..." I replied.

“It’s the Americans who are fighting now?”

"Yes, they didn't suffer much loss except that I sank a South Dakota."

"Iowa."

"I tried to attack him, but it didn't work. His armor was too thick."

"Bang——" The hull suddenly shook violently, and I was knocked to the ground unexpectedly. The connection with the hull was cut off, and my projection was extremely weak.

I quickly got up and found that the engine room was destroyed...

Should I be glad that the boiler did not explode? A side hole appeared below the waterline and seawater began to pour in.

"Sister, are you okay?" Ti Zi's voice rang in my mind.

"I'm out of motivation." I shook my head. "Tizi, please step back. I'm being targeted."

Just now, I was able to dodge the incoming shells again and again thanks to my keen perception, but now I can no longer move. My speed slowly decreased, and the opposing warship had already noticed this, and the water columns around me suddenly increased.

"No." Tizi shook her head firmly. Her uniform was torn everywhere. "Sister, we said we would be together."

"You still have Lindemann." I sighed. "Be obedient, retreat, and withdraw from the battle."

"I won't listen to you this time." Tirpitz pursed his lips and cut off the communication.

"Captain, my boiler is dead."

I shook my head and said to the captain. The Zeppelin had reached its final moment. It had already tilted sideways, and many crew members had jumped off it. It seemed that the order to abandon the ship had been issued. Only Grape and I were left.

Should we continue? I asked myself, we have already lost. In fact, we have already lost from the moment Germany confronted the whole world. I once wanted to change my fate, and I also wanted to return to my homeland, but fate moved forward under the trend of the times, leaving me no choice at all. I also tried hard to fight, but it turned countless corners and still returned to the starting point, without changing because of anyone.

The greatest achievement is probably that the captain is still alive.

I have worked hard for my dream of going home. I have docked at the port of Shanghai. I have secretly transported countless documents to the far east. If possible, some of my property will be deposited in a special account by my lawyer.

In fact, I have no regrets anymore. My dream has come true once, and I have the person I love by my side. Even if I die now, there probably is nothing I can't let go of.

I would rather sink in this sea than have any more sacrifices. Captain, you can still live, but I don't want Liliana to lose her father.

But before I could make any suggestion, the captain gave me an order.

"Broadcast to the entire ship, prepare to abandon ship!"

I was stunned, then immediately handed the microphone to him.

"Bismarck, do you hate me?" The captain looked at me and said softly.

"No." I shook my head.

"I wish you hated me." The captain sighed.

"Captain, it's not your fault. This is our fate."

"I am Lütjens." The captain's voice reached every corner of the ship through the amplifier. It was clearer than the rumbling of cannons, and all the crew members pricked up their ears.

The shells kept hitting me.

"You fought to the last moment for Germany and for the dignity and honor of the military. The Bismarck and I are grateful for your bravery. Now, I issue the last captain's order. All crew members - abandon ship."

When the words "abandon ship" were uttered, the captain's voice paused, and some of the crew members below even burst into tears.

"Good luck to you." The captain said the last words and then turned off the microphone.

I know that no crew member wants to see his ship sink, but all the guns have been destroyed, and there is no point in persisting. You can go. I am already very touched that you have accompanied me to this point. I said silently in my heart.

The crew members began to leave their posts one after another.

I helped the captain find a life jacket and opened the door. Although I was reluctant, I still had to do it.

Reluctant? Do I want the captain to be buried with me? I laughed at myself.

"what are you doing?"

"Captain, aren't you leaving?" I asked puzzledly.

"Abandon ship?" The captain opened his eyes and chuckled. "You want me to abandon you?"

"..."

"How is that possible? No captain would leave his ship." He looked me in the eyes, firmly speaking.

"But if you stay you will die. I want you to live!" My eyes turned red and mist filled them.

"I'll stay with you," the captain said.

If it were any other time, I would be very happy to hear this, but now...

"What about Lily?" I was already crying. The captain is a man of his word. Does he really want to stay with me?

"She has grown up." The captain sighed, then he waved at me and said, "Come here and listen to me."

I walked over silently with my head down, knelt down beside him, and then rested my head on his legs. The captain's hand touched my cheek and gently rubbed it.

If he doesn't leave, it will be the last time.

"Captain, are you really not leaving?" I whispered.

"I'm not leaving. How could I leave you alone?" he said with a smile.

I closed the door again and the floor gradually tilted.

"Do you regret being a German battleship?" he asked me.

"No, never." I shook my head. "If I were not the Bismarck, I would not have met you. Meeting you is the luckiest thing that has happened to me in the past few years."

"Really?" The captain sighed. "If your ship was an American ship, you might still be fine now, and you wouldn't have to fight all these years. You must be exhausted after all these years."

"It's okay." I smiled.

A shell penetrated the top armor and exploded in the room next to the captain's room. The huge shock wave caused the bulkhead to be terribly distorted, and one of my favorite paintings was shattered to pieces.

"Speaking of which, I am really incompetent." The captain said, "My ship likes me so much, but I haven't responded much, and I have always let her pay for me."

The starboard side gradually approached the water surface. The bottom of one side of me was exposed and it tilted more than 30 degrees. Everything in other cabins slid to the other side. The captain was able to keep the ship relatively tidy because of my control.

It seems that my heart is very calm.

"Captain, you still have time to compensate me now." I said with a smile, "You really won't have the chance to compensate me this time."

As I laughed, tears started to come out.

"Yes, if we don't make up for it, we won't have any chance." The captain sighed and slowly lowered his head. His hands turned white from holding the handrails tightly to maintain balance.

I closed my eyes shyly and raised my head, ready for his arrival.

He first touched my forehead lightly, then stroked my nose, and finally pressed our lips together. His tongue slipped in, and I responded awkwardly...

The water has flooded onto the deck, and the sinking speed has accelerated...

If you don't leave now, you will really have no chance.

"Captain, forgive me—"

"Sergeant, please bring the captain back safely!" I stood on the railing that was already submerged in water and handed the unconscious captain to a lifeboat. When the ship was about to sink, the enemy had stopped firing, and it was actually the safest time to get out.

"Ms. Bismarck, you're not leaving?" The sergeant looked at me in surprise. "There are still seats available. Come up quickly!"

"No, I won't leave." I shook my head gently.

"Why?" the sergeant asked anxiously. He reached out his hand to pull me, and I took a step back slightly.

"Because I am the battleship Bismarck." I said with a smile, my tone proud.

"Thanks for sticking with me for so long, Sergeant. I appreciate it. Now, let's go."

I disappeared right in front of him.

······

It's really funny to think about the captain's shocked and angry look just now.

I returned to the captain's cabin and sat in the captain's seat, where we first met. I remember it was in Kiel Harbor.

"Mr. Admiral, the Bismarck reports to you!"

Suddenly, I seemed to see my former self appearing in this room, still wearing SS uniform. At that time, the captain probably thought I was a member of the SS.

"What do you want, Miss SS?"

I miss it so much, but it’s a pity that I can’t go back.

I stroked the pen on the table, thinking absentmindedly.

The hull has flipped over, and the four turrets have separated from my body under the action of gravity and fell first. High-pressure airflow continuously gushes out from every gap in the body, making a whooshing sound.

The bow of the ship began to sink.

My head is starting to feel dizzy. Am I going to lose consciousness?

Water began to rush in frantically and soon invaded the command tower. The door of the captain's room creaked under the water pressure, and the water in the gap of the door sprayed out like a water gun.

The books are all wet.

I walked over, gently picked up a book that was soaked in water and put it back in its place. It was the captain's notebook, and I had scribbled on it and was scolded by him.

The ship continued to sink and soon reached the middle, then accelerated to reveal the propeller, but unfortunately it was no longer rotating.

"That's it." I murmured and closed my eyes.

The door of the captain's room burst open under the water pressure...

ps: I just want to say... don't hit me! Bismarck sank and was reborn as sea fog! (Just a joke), please vote for recommendation~

Chapter 72: Grape's Resentment

"Krupp, remember to say hello to Liliana for me." I said with a smile when getting off the car. "The captain and I don't have any luggage, so you don't have to get off the car."

"Okay." The young man held the steering wheel and said, "Don't worry, Miss Bismarck. I will tell Miss Lily that you and the captain have a safe journey."

"Okay, thank you."

I waved at him and walked towards the already started plane.

Special plane pick-up and drop-off, it's so capricious...

The door closed and the plane took off.

"We have a lot to do when we return this time." I said to the captain, counting on my fingers. There are so many that I can remember right now.

"Yes." The captain nodded.

"The most important thing is to load the shells from the Krupp factory," I said.

"This time when you go back you have to move the boat," he said.

"Eh? Why?"

"Go to Hamburg, and you still want them to take the shells to William?" The captain glanced at me.

"That's what I think." I said aggrievedly. Captain, your look is too contemptuous!

"Don't we need to report to the Navy Department when we move a ship?" I said. As far as I know, in the old days of Celestial Sea Rabbit, even if your ship needs to move to a new berth in the port, you need a leader to be in charge. Without a leader with a ship, you are not allowed to move the ship. Of course, I don't need to go through so much trouble. The captain's leader is Regel, so it's obviously unrealistic to ask him to come, but for such a long-distance voyage, it's still necessary to notify the Navy Department.

"Reger already knows." The captain said lightly, "He knows about the proximity fuse and the gun swap. I told him."

"Ah?" I asked in surprise, "Did he agree?"
