Bismarck

"Hey, Captain Francis, I told you to be careful." I chuckled and said, "Are you okay? If you are fine, I'll take my leave now."

After saying this, he turned around and left, humming a tune, without paying any attention to Francis's livid face.

"You can fall down on the deck, how can you be so steady?"

I returned to the room in a good mood. The ship was sailing at full speed towards Iceland. There was no combat mission and there was nothing to do on the bridge, so I came down to accompany Tizi.

This little girl got bored when she was out at sea, and then she fell in love with painting. Now she hides in her room all day and paints. Ah, but this is not the most important thing. The important thing is that Grape always likes to draw me, or draw her Lindemann. I don’t mind if her captain is drawn ugly, but drawing me like that... ah, I can’t accept it!

Face as big as a pancake, strong as a cow, damn, Grape, am I like this in your mind! When I saw Grape's paintings, I almost collapsed. I decided on the spot to come and see her work every day, and destroy some of her works by the way, so as not to let it be made public.

"Sister, sister, look, this is my new painting!" Ti Zi sensed my coming very early, and as soon as I entered the door, he handed me a scroll as if presenting a treasure.

I'm really scared of you. I smiled at her and opened the painting.

I spat out a mouthful of blood, no, it was a mouthful of heavy oil that sprayed far away. Who are these two monkey-like people in the painting? ! Well, one of them is me, but the other one... Judging from his military rank, it's Lindemann.

Lindemann and I stood at the back, and Tizi stood at the front. Is this a typical photo of a family of three?!

Family portrait······

I slapped my forehead with a headache and said to her, "Tizi, put this painting away quickly and don't let anyone see it...especially General Lütjens."

"Huh? Why?"

Tizi stared at her with big eyes and asked in confusion.

"Hehe, there's no reason, just be obedient." I patted her head.

If the captain sees this painting of yours, Lindemann will be in trouble.

"Tizi, do you want to change your hobby? I think playing the piano is good. Do you want to get a piano? Painting may not be suitable for you..."

"Piano? But there is no piano here." Tizi said innocently.

"It's okay. How about I get you one when we get back to the port?"

"Go back to Hong Kong? When can we go back to Hong Kong!!!" When Tizi heard that we were going back to Hong Kong, he immediately jumped up with joy, cheered, and kept asking questions while holding my hand.

"Well, it will probably be around June. My sister has to go back for major repairs, and you can go back to your place." I smiled and squatted down, looking her in the eye.

"Ah? I don't want to leave. Tirpitz doesn't want to be separated from her sister!" Ti Zi sensitively grasped the meaning in my words and said loudly.

"Tizi, we are sisters. How can we be separated? I will be by your side. You can come over anytime you want. We will never be separated. Forever."

"Then why did Tirpitz leave?"

"Because you are almost done with construction, and not long after you go back this time, Lindeman will leave my ship and officially come to you. From now on, that will be you and Lindeman's place, so of course you have to clean it up." I touched her puffy cheeks with a smile. "Well, then you will also have a room like your sister's, and you can decorate it however you want, with a piano or something, whatever you like. Oh, by the way, just don't put an easel..." I still have lingering fears about this.

"Isn't this great? Right! Then make your room prettier, and I'll come over to play with you when I'm free. I wonder if you'll welcome it?"

"I...of course I welcome my sister." Ti Zi lowered his eyes, looking unhappy.

"It's okay. It's normal to be unhappy now. Grape, you have to grow up too. This is the price of growing up." I gently held her in my arms and whispered in her ear.

"We'll always be together."

Ps: I thought I couldn't update today, but I didn't expect I could write a chapter... Well, that's it. Lindemann will officially go to war after he returns! Of course, there was an episode of the Icelandic campaign before that (it's not really a campaign). It took six hours to get to Tianjin by high-speed rail, and I was so tired that I fell asleep at the end... Hey, you know what I'm doing for the sake of such hard work!!!

Zeppelin (II) Subscribe with caution

Episode III "The Wasteland"

His gaze made me break out in cold sweats and my mental stress doubled.

There was a long silence. He spoke first:

"Why did you hide? And why did you want to murder Marshal Goering?" Although the words were plain, I felt a sense of oppression.

An aircraft carrier will be afraid of a person, even though this person is not an ordinary person...

"General, Zeppelin did this because Field Marshal Goering would eventually destroy our navy. So for the survival of the navy, Zeppelin had to do this." I hope he won't be angry. After all, in his previous life, he was one of the generals I admired most in the Third Reich.

"Oh why."

“……” I don’t know how to answer. Should I say that I came from another world?

"Zeppelin, you are rebelling against Germany and humanity like this. Even an air force marshal who is hostile to our navy is absolutely not allowed. Tell me, how should you be punished? Should we dismantle you to prevent future troubles?" A trace of anger appeared on Lütjens' face.

Oops, the general is really angry QAQ...

"General, Zeppelin knows he is wrong. Please don't tear it down! Zeppelin doesn't want to die!" I was so anxious that I almost cried. I didn't want to die here, in Germany. I wanted to go back to that distant country in the East, back to my country.

For me, the most important thing now is to survive, nothing else matters.

……

"It won't happen again."

I was ecstatic, as if I had been reborn: "Thank you, Captain. Thank you, Captain."

I got excited and called the wrong name...

"General...you don't mind Zeppelin calling you captain, do you?" I felt a little nervous.

"casual."

"Thank you, Captain."

Lütjens rolled his eyes at me, but that was nothing. After all, he was one of my idols...

"Let's go."

"Where are you going, Captain?" I was a little surprised.

"Hamburg, go see your sister." Lütjens was speechless.

"My sister?" I am the flagship of the Zeppelin, how could I have a sister.

"Bismarck was born earlier than you, so of course she can be considered your sister."

"..." It turned out to be Bismarck...

"If she hadn't asked me to come here to see you, I wouldn't have known that you could actually become conscious."

If everything is set up according to the damn author, then this Bismarck must have traveled through time from the past life like me. Sitting in the car, I was speechless. According to the law of time travelers (1. Overlapping effect; 2. Time travel drama law; 3. Existence law) and the theorem of time travelers (1. Don't care about things that you shouldn't care about; 2. If you want to violate the first rule, please protect your own life and safety; 3. When two time travelers meet, the weaker one is very likely to die.), it is obviously an unwise decision to meet Bismarck now. But...

But judging from Lütjens' tone, it seems there is no room for negotiation...

"Zeppelin, do you know Bismarck?" Lütjens asked me.

What a joke! How can I admit it!

"Really..." Lütjens was a little proud. "Bismarck, she is the best battleship I have ever seen."

"Captain, you said before that Bismarck... is also like me. Could it be that she..."

"Yes, that's right." Lütjens had no scruples. "She participated in two battles. Although she was severely damaged by the enemy in both battles, she saved the entire German Navy."

“She is very brave and very strong…”

"Especially, she has always liked me..."

……

"Captain, do you like Sister Bismarck?" I asked maliciously. It is impossible for a person to deceive his own heart.

"Ah..." Lütjens sighed, "It would be a lie to say I don't like it, but... after all, we..."

"Every time I see her getting hurt, I get worried and sad. I always feel like she got hurt because she was trying to protect me. That feeling..."

There was a long silence.

……

"We're here." Thanks to the German highway plan promoted by the Führer, the transportation of materials and personnel in Germany is now much faster than before. In less than three hours, we went from the Kiel Deutsche Werft to the Hamburg Bronfuss Shipyard.

There were too many sentries at the door, so in order to avoid trouble, I made the projection invisible.

...Speaking of which, it seems that my projection is not limited by the distance of the ship, which is different from what the damn author wrote. Bismarck's projection distance is limited, but mine is not. It is not difficult to maintain my projection, even if it is more than 200 kilometers away from my ship.

Pier 9, Bismarck Landing.

What a huge battleship...

I... could actually see the real Bismarck. My eyes were wet.

This is the pride of Germany. She is no longer the cold image in the historical pictures. She is the real...

I gently stroked the surface of her hull. The metal texture was so clear and the armor was shining with metallic luster.

Suddenly, I felt a sense of vicissitudes, and the silence around me intensified this feeling.

"I am the crystallization of German technology - Bismarck, please remember this."

In my previous life, every time I saw this passage, I would feel a sense of vicissitudes. I don't know why, but looking at the portrait in the game, I felt like I was seeing a photo of the real Bismarck. That kind of aura seemed to allow me to see her every move, every frown; I seemed to see her bravely moving forward, galloping freely on the rough North Atlantic...

Now, even though we are all battleships...but there is no way to change my mood.

My perception was wrapped around Bismarck.

"So, you are also from that era..." I saw Bismarck, she was sitting in the captain's room, thinking about something.

"Yes." I said to her in my mind, and I believed she could hear me.

"Then," she said with a smile, "for our future, let's work together!"

"Welcome aboard the Bismarck."

Episode IV "Led Zeppelin"

Bismarck, in the captain's cabin.

"That's about it," Lütjens told Bismarck and Lindemann. "When I came up, Zeppelin was still hiding."

What should I say...

"Captain, have you ever thought about recommending someone to be the captain of Zeppelin?" Bismarck asked Lütjens, who shook his head. "I'm afraid they won't listen to me, and our navy lacks talent for large surface ships. So, if the Navy Department doesn't want her to stay in the port all the time, I think only Lindemann and I, and Dönitz himself, can do it."

"Captain, you mean..."

Lütjens nodded. "Dönitz is currently on a submarine and cannot go to Zeppelin. Lindemann is still a little inexperienced and not suitable. Moreover, he will soon serve as the captain of the Grape, which is unlikely. So there is only one possibility... I will serve as the captain of Zeppelin."

"really?"

Lütjens smiled bitterly: "This possibility is very high, but then the Navy Department and even the Führer will be wary of me. With two battleships in my hands, I'm afraid the Gestapo will also pay special attention to me."

"By the way, the most important thing now is how to get Zeppelin to bring carrier-based aircraft. After all, an aircraft carrier without carrier-based aircraft is just a target ship that has no resistance against heavy cruisers... I don't know what tricks the Air Force will use." Lindemann suddenly interrupted. This is also what I am concerned about.

"Well, Zeppelin has already solved half of this problem... Marshal Goering was killed by her at her launching ceremony yesterday afternoon." Ignoring the stunned Lindemann and Bismarck, Lütjens continued to talk, "She picked up a steel bar at least 30 centimeters long from her deck and threw it straight down from about 40 meters above Goering's head. Goering died on the spot."

"..." Bismarck and Lindemann stared at each other.

Nonsense, a German fan who traveled through time from the previous life, as long as he is not stupid, will definitely try his best to kill Goering. Otherwise, will he just sit back and watch Germany lose the war?

Suddenly, Bismarck stood up, took my hand, and said to Lindemann and Lütjens: "Captain, Vice-Captain, I have something to say to Zeppelin. Let's go out first."

Bismarck took me to her room. The door closed automatically behind her. The flowing metal completely sealed the door, and the room became a secret room.

I swear, this is the first time I have seen such an unscientific phenomenon. I feel like I learned physics in my previous life in vain.

"Are you also from the previous life?" she asked anxiously.

"Yeah." I was a little flustered and didn't understand what she wanted to say to me.

"Um, Sister Bismarck, what do you want to say to Zeppelin..." I asked weakly.

"How is our country now? Before you crossed over."

"Uh... nothing."

"Then let me change the question. What do you think of Germany?" Her expression was very serious.

What kind of question is this...

"...very good." Bismarck's eyes and Lütjens's eyes seemed to have a hint of oppression (am I overthinking it), which frightened me. "I like the people of this country very much. The Germans are very rigorous. And..."

"What else?"

"..." I didn't dare to look at Bismarck's eyes, it was too scary, "German car..."

"puff……"

Looks like I said something wrong...

→_→ You want to trick me? Hum, I will never admit that I like Germany and the Führer, otherwise...
