Bismarck

"What else do you want? You still want to go out to sea? I'm lucky enough that I didn't send you to the shipbreaking yard." She smiled self-deprecatingly and went back to her work.

The aircraft carrier is about to start work.

Although Zeppelin does not need to consume energy to maintain her physical form in the virtual state, she has experienced what loneliness feels like, and she is unwilling to continue to be invisible. Moreover, she has always wanted to integrate into human society and understand human thinking. This idea has become stronger after she learned that the top leaders gave up on her because of a power struggle. So this is probably an opportunity - although no one knows that she is an aircraft carrier.

Now that it has materialized, this projection needs to consume energy. The dilapidated ship doesn't have any fuel and can't provide any support at all. It can only rely on food...

Human interest fades easily.

The discussion about the "big ship" cooled down after a few days, and opposite the ship, a small stall in a corner, like the grass on the rocks on the cliff in the wind and rain, quietly and tenaciously took root in this almost forgotten corner.

Life is hard for a person to survive alone, especially when Count Zeppelin is an illegal immigrant...

The axis on Zeppelin's body was not actually installed properly, and her legs did not have much strength after she materialized, and sometimes she even fell, but even so, she still persisted. She made a cane for herself and leaned on it to rest when she was tired.

The energy converted from food is always pitifully small. She has to eat a lot to barely maintain her body shape. With such a huge demand for food, it seems that all her money is spent on food every day (so are all the people on aircraft carriers foodies?), with nothing left over. Fortunately, she is not a human being, so she does not worry about the future. The only worry is when she will be dragged into the shipbreaking yard. The life of daylight has no impact on her.

However, the attitude of the surrounding residents towards this girl who suddenly appeared was somewhat subtle.

Seeing that Zeppelin's movements were not very convenient, sometimes some naughty children would bully her, throw things at her, and then quickly run away. The stalls she often set up were often hung with some fruit peels, fruit cores and small stones, making them messy.

It was okay for the small stones, usually she would just quietly throw away such inedible things, but for "food" like fruit peels...what seemed insulting to the children became very strange in Zeppelin's eyes - she knew that their attitude was not good, so she could not understand the human way of thinking. Since the children did not like her, why did they send her food?

Every time at this time, she would eat the fruit peels with satisfaction and convert them into necessary energy. Although it was not much, it was better than nothing.

It’s okay, just smile at them more, kids are not bad people at heart.

So Zeppelin, who had eaten the peel, smiled tenderly at the child, scaring everyone away.

"Crazy Woman" is a new title she got.

ps: I will update again in the evening depending on the situation. Bismarck will appear in the next chapter.

Chapter 138: Bismarck Comes

Compared to her illegal hukou, the naughty kids were just a minor nuisance...

Because it was a newly occupied area, although most of the locals were Germans, people who were checking for Jews still came to check several times.

Zeppelin was very afraid of being found out. Although she had never seen a Jew, she knew that people always gnashed their teeth when talking about Jews, and they must not be good people.

I don’t know if I look like a Jewish person... Sometimes she would touch her face worriedly.

Zeppelin was a little overly worried about this matter. The police were mainly investigating the wealthy people in the city. They just took a symbolic walk around the factory area here - not to mention this shabby stall in the corner, which they didn't even take a look at.

But not having an official identity is indeed a very troublesome thing... After all, she is an aircraft carrier, and her appearance in this small town makes it very likely that the enemy's spies are trying to find out her information, so naturally, the Gestapo must also be in this town, and her perception tells her that there are often people looking at her with inquiring eyes not far away.

Those are the Gestapo that the shipyard workers often talk about... Zeppelin focused on the work in his hands without looking away, but his scattered mental energy was locked on a man who seemed to pass by casually.

She also showed up on the day the aircraft carrier was towed in, which was really suspicious.

Although Zeppelin chose a position where she could not be seen and tried not to go out, the Gestapo's surveillance was not relaxed yet...

In order to prevent them from coming to her to check her "good citizen certificate" on a whim, she secretly went to the police station at night and got herself a temporary resident card, stamped with the police station's official seal. But this kind of thing is just to deal with the inspection. If anyone seriously checks her file, it will be exposed soon.

The biggest trouble was the local bosses who always came to her for protection money, and there were a few who wanted to make a move. Although she was not afraid of them, whether it was teasing or fighting (it was a battleship with more than 100 mm steel plates after all), after a few days, she knew that these people were actually related to the local police, and if the police were involved, the temporary residence permit she had issued for herself would be exposed, and the people who came might not be the police but the Gestapo...

Well, just pay the money, otherwise the food you buy won’t be enough for food.

She is the Count Zeppelin aircraft carrier after all! But now she has to pay protection fees to those little hooligans...

A small stall like hers doesn't make much money every day, and she has to pay protection fees... And this is just a small town, many people rely on fishing for a living, there are only a few small factories, and there is not much leftovers - although there is still an electric wire on the main body to pull the light, but... well, now she still has to sneak out every night and fight with stray dogs and cats for food.

Qi Peilin wondered if she should put down a broken bowl and go begging. She looked at a homeless man with a crutch not far away...but she felt so embarrassed.

Life is hard, and I can't talk about it. I can only curl up in the innermost part of this little nest in the dead of night, crying alone...

Even so, she still wanted to live...even though she was becoming more and more numb and confused...

Compared to the legend of the Bismarck that was heard from time to time on the streets, Narvik sank the Repulse in the encirclement of the British Home Fleet and then escaped unscathed, and sank the Resolution almost unscathed in the North Atlantic commerce raiding battle. Now the latest rumor is that in the battle of the British invasion of Iceland, it severely damaged two main battleships of the British Home Fleet and then successfully broke through. It has been said to be the embodiment of the indomitable and glorious German naval spirit.

Although Zeppelin didn't care about Bismarck's achievements, but...

Compared to the praise and honor she received, she was only curled up in obscurity in the corner of this remote town, with only the biting cold wind, a leaky shack, worn-out cotton wool, an empty stomach, and fear, leading a hard life that only she knew...

This comparison made me feel like a failure...

Maybe, one day she will completely disappear from this world without anyone knowing...

In the deepest corner of the dimness, the tears that could not be stopped flowed on the simple sheets made of worn-out cotton wool, soaking the gray and depressing colors with sadness and desolation...

A few more days of dull but depressing time passed, maybe a week, and suddenly the dock became lively again.

Zeppelin could feel that the ship, which had been used as a warehouse ship and was filled with timber and other goods, was busy unloading those things. The workers said that the navy had sent several tugboats, and now they were going to tow her away again.

Should we tow her back to rebuild it? Or should we tow her to a shipbreaking yard to dismantle her for scrapping?

Probably the latter!

Was her life about to end? Was she going to disappear into the shipbreaking yard without even fighting a fleet battle?

Even though she is in this state, the Navy still won't let her go? !

"...This feeling, this despair...what is going on..."

But she could only curl up in the corner, crying helplessly, holding resentment in despair, and cursing the damn navy!

If there is a next life, she will probably be reincarnated into some horrible existence and become an enemy of the human navy!

(In late May 1940, the battleship Bismarck and its captain Lütjens were suddenly attacked and sunk by a WO-class aircraft carrier from an unknown force called "Deep Sea". This book ends.)

"Um...Excuse me, are you the Zeppelin?" Just as she was helplessly resentful and cursing, suddenly a strange voice sounded in her mind.

Shocked by the sudden voice, she thought she was discovered, and raised her head abruptly, "Who are you?"

"I didn't expect that Zeppelin was also conscious, but why was it crying?" the voice continued.

There was no one in front of Zeppelin, and at this moment she thought of a possibility... With a quick glance of her consciousness, she could clearly sense that at the dock a few kilometers away, there was a person who looked similar to her, dragging a 50-year-old admiral towards her. And she soon introduced herself in the consciousness exchange.

"Nice to meet you. I'm from the battleship Bismarck." She smiled at her cheerfully, then greeted her in a very enthusiastic tone, "We're here to take you home..."

Chapter 139: Angry (Tsundere) Sister

As soon as Bismarck arrived at the dock, a familiar feeling came over him.

"This is?"

Bismarck was stunned. This familiar feeling had only appeared when he entered Wilhelmshaven - that is, when he discovered grapes.

Now reappearing——Could it be that...

"Could it be that Zeppelin also has a ship girl?" Bismarck was slightly surprised, but then he laughed. This was a good thing.

I'm going to have another sister, right?

"What's wrong? Why are you so happy all of a sudden?" Lütjens looked at the people around him who were laughing happily, and his originally gloomy face relaxed a little - the first thing he did after getting off the plane was to go to the port of Gdansk to check on Zeppelin's situation, but the scene he saw was very pessimistic.

The place where the flight deck should have been was now cluttered with some wood, which had obviously not been moved clean. The hull was covered in rust, and the entire ship looked as if it was bathed in blood. They arrived in the late evening, and the sun was setting. In the reflection of the setting sun, coupled with the few street lights that were already on on the ship, the scene seemed even more desolate and unusual.

Germany's first aircraft carrier was built in such an environment. How could the admiral, who realized the importance of aircraft carriers, feel good about it?

"Captain, I think I'll have another sister." Bismarck hugged Lütjens' arm and smiled. "Are you happy?"

"What do you mean?" As soon as Lütjens asked the question, he realized the meaning of this sentence and his face immediately turned surprised.

"Could it be—Zeppelin?!"

"Yes, I think Zeppelin also has his own consciousness. Wait, I think I found it!"

Bismarck's mental power quickly locked onto the source of the familiar fluctuations - a small, shabby stall.

With his perception intruding, Bismarck quickly determined that the person in front of him was the Zeppelin he was looking for. As for why he was so sure, it was because he was too easy to recognize - the nearly white hair and the delicate eyebrows and eyes looked very much like the Zeppelin character that Bismarck knew in his previous life.

"I didn't expect that the Countess is also conscious. But... why is she doing this?"

Bismarck observed the Zeppelin carefully, and the joy of finding a fellow soldier immediately cooled down like a bucket of cold water.

What kind of life did this Zeppelin live... Bismarck's lips trembled slightly, as if he could not believe what he saw.

The Countess was wearing the kind of rough clothes that any working woman on the street would wear, tattered. The food she ate was obviously leftovers, and Bismarck even saw a few fruit cores being eaten with relish. And the crutch, could it be Zeppelin's foot... Is there something wrong with the power system?

"How could this be..." Looking at Zeppelin's satisfied expression after eating, Bismarck felt sad. Why did his sister have to live like this here? She was Germany's proud aircraft carrier. How could this be?

"how so···"

"What's wrong?" Lütjens looked at Bismarck in surprise as his expression quickly changed from happy to unbearable, and his body began to tremble.

"My sister, she, seems, to be in very bad condition." Bismarck said with difficulty.

Lütjens subconsciously looked at the rusty warship not far away, his throat rolled, but he didn't say anything.

"You should communicate with her first." After a long while, he sighed.

"Ok, I will."

Bismarck adjusted his mood and smiled at the air in front of him. One should always be happy when meeting someone for the first time.

"Um, I'd like to ask if you are the Zeppelin."

The girl who was working opposite was frightened by her sudden greeting and immediately shouted, "Who are you?!"

Seeing her like a frightened bird, Bismarck felt even worse.

"Nice to meet you. I'm the battleship Bismarck. I guess I'm your sister. We're here to take you home."

Unexpectedly, Zeppelin did not show even the slightest bit of happiness. She just paused for a moment, lowered her head and let her long hair cover her face. Then she replied in an extremely flat voice, "Bismarck, haha, sister... Navy, what are you doing here?"

"We are here to take you back..."

"Where to go? Back to the shipbreaking yard?"

"Isn't it your navy that made me what I am now?" Zeppelin asked in his mind with a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth.

"Hmm? Sister, what do you mean?"

"My hull, my planes, my main axis, my armament, which one wasn't made by your navy? And now you have the nerve to tell me... to go home."

"In human terms, home is a place full of warmth, but I didn't feel any warmth at all. I only felt disgust and anger."

"My sister, you didn't misunderstand anything... Let's have a good chat. You and I are the same, there should be no barriers between us..."

Bismarck was confused by Zeppelin's series of questions and said blankly. But she didn't expect that this sentence would arouse Zeppelin's greater anger.

"Same? No, we are not the same at all!"

"You are Germany's strongest battleship, and I am just an abandoned aircraft carrier. While you are fighting bravely in the Atlantic, I am living a miserable life in this corner. You are full of glory, but I am laughed at by everyone!"

"Am I the same as you?"

Bismarck smiled bitterly. This sister seemed to have a lot of opinions about him...

The resentment that had been suppressed for a long time finally erupted. Zeppelin didn't know why she had endured it for so long, but vented it unscrupulously in front of this voice.

Although she was just a stranger, Zeppelin felt happy when he saw that she was in pain.

Maybe even Zeppelin herself didn't notice that when Bismarck said the word "sister", her mood began to fluctuate. Zeppelin, who had always been patient, lost control in an instant and couldn't help but get angry at her...

Well, actually Zeppelin didn’t know that this was the most common way for a tsundere sister to show her anger towards her older sister.

"You guys go away, I feel fine now, Bismarck, I don't want to see you." She said coldly.

"..."

ps: I feel like Yakumo is a rich man with a monthly ticket! I will update it first and then update it in the evening!

I had classes all morning, and skipped the ideological and political education class in the afternoon to write...

Chapter 140: Connection

"Captain, Zeppelin is very resistant to us. Perhaps he does not welcome our arrival..."

Bismarck said to Lütjens somewhat aggrievedly. When Zeppelin said the first sentence, she knew that the following conversation would definitely not be a scene of an elder sister meeting her younger sister with tears in her eyes.

Sure enough, her sister Zeppelin was probably hurt too deeply by the navy, so she expressed deep disdain for her and the captain's arrival.

Wait, by the Navy?

But... wasn't Zeppelin's problem caused by the Air Force? Although Bismarck was not happy to see Zeppelin's reaction, he was also muttering in his heart that if he was to be angry, he should be angry at the Air Force. He always felt that he had suffered an unprovoked disaster...
