The fourth week since Musashi's request for humanity to surrender -

There is not much time left, even if it is only to confirm the approximate location of the opponent, calculating the speed of the Sea Fog battleship, it is time to have to make a move. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although there was a plan to use static braking and arrange the battlefield for Musashi to come and take the initiative to attack, Musashi ignored the Toyo Fleet and was mobilizing the world's fleet to obey her to encircle her.

Although I don't think that the vast majority of warships without mental models will have the means to quickly attack inland, in any case, once the war starts, humanity will have one foot in the grave.

Even if the technology of vibrating warheads is revealed, humans have to admit that the great power of sea fog can still easily destroy them.

But the turning point is also here, and the civil strife of sea fog has also begun, in order to stop the "Crimson Fleet", the "Blue Fleet", which cooperates with humans, leads the sea fog warships with a large number of human crews to the Arctic Ocean.

The human beings who betrayed the human race, and the sea fog who "betrayed" the sea fog, the battle is about to begin.

"Blue Fleet" Formation:

Sea Assault Suppression Ship: Sakura (flagship, youkai boarding), Zuihe [Mental Model Control]

Battleships: Hinata, Ise, Kirishima, Haruna (Maki-e ride), Hiei, Nagato, Mutsu [Mind Model Control]

Heavy Cruisers: Takao, Atago, Myoko, Nachi, Ashigara, Haguro, Mogami, Aoba, Kinugasa [Mind Model Control]

Light cruisers: Nagara, Kuma, Kawauchi, Oyodo...... A total of 52 ships [no mental model, human control]

Destroyers: Fukiyuki, Akatsuki, Ayana, Sunyan...... A total of 37 ships [no mental model, human control]

Working Ship: Akashi [Ship Cluster Concentrates Computing Power to Form a Mental Model Manipulation]

Supply Ships: Matsushima, Mamiya, Lake Ira [No Mind Model, Human-Controlled]

Submarines: I-401 (Chihaya Group Portrait etc.), I-44, I-45...... A total of 15 ships [no mental model except for the I-401, controlled by humans]

A total of 78 other small ships were responsible for guarding the dock of the "Blue Fleet" on Thousand Pillars Island.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

The Crimson Fleet did not have full information, but the following information was obtained from the analysis of available intelligence:

Super Battleship: Musashi (Chihaya Sho Statue Ride) [In view of the fact that some of Yamato's direct warships have joined the blue, and Iona has received orders from Yamato, Yamato is not determined to be an enemy for the time being]

Sea Assault Suppression Ships: Cloud Dragon, Dafeng, Xiangfeng, Flying Eagle, Royal Ark

Battleships: Bismarck, Monarchy, Revenge, Remilis, Empress of India, Royal Oak...... A total of 12 ships

Heavy cruisers: Chokai, Tone, Chikumo, Prince Eugen, Kent, Algiers, Taranto...... A total of 17 ships

Light cruisers: Agano, Tenryu, Juno, Atlanta...... A total of 172 ships

Destroyers: Hakuro, Asahio, Mogador, Utopia, Z-...... A total of 105 ships

Working ships: 16 in total

Supply ships: 3 in total

Submarines: I-8, I-19, I-58, I-168, I-402, U30, U99, U100...... A total of 37 ships

Other small ships are more than 200 units.

The combat effectiveness can be said to be quite disparity, but most of the combat power of the "Crimson Fleet" is used to enclose the land, and the coastline is quite long, even if a ship is arranged at a distance from each other to detect the limit, it is very difficult to completely block and advance at the same time. Musashi's offensive strategy is nothing short of a procedural rampage.

This was also an opportunity for the "Blue Fleet" to advance directly towards the Bering Strait, breaking through the formation of dozens of small ships of the "Crimson Fleet" arranged there, and breaking into the Arctic Ocean.

It was a battle without suspense, and it took only a few minutes to finish from the first shot.

"Mutsu, Mogami, Aoba, Kinugasa, I-44, I-45, all Kuma, Oyodo, and Yangyan will stay in the Bering Strait with a re-column formation, and the light cruiser-destroyer fleet will advance parallel to the main force in a re-column formation, and the reconnaissance will be handed over to Nachi and I-401. Misaka Sakura ordered. ”

Nazhi is a heavy cruiser that sacrificed supergravity guns, specialized radar and sonar, and could "see" clearly even the knocking of small stones underwater. This kind of detection capability cannot be compared with that of an ocean-going observation ship that specializes in detection. But radar and sonar are not omnipotent, and the best evidence is that the I-401 can still persist in hiding under the nose of Nazhi for a period of time in past engagements. I-401 and her crew will leave the rest.

"Sakura, I-401 has sent a request for covert loop communication. Nazrin said.

Indeed, this place is no longer suitable for "concept communication" in which anyone can intervene.

"Pick it up. Sakura Misaka agreed. ”

"A large amount of inactive nanomaterial has been detected on the seafloor. The voice of the I-401 crew.

"Is it the Crimson Fleet or the wreckage of other ships she fought before?" asked Sakura Misaka. ”

"It's impossible to determine exactly because the damage to the hull is so severe, but if you count it by tonnage, it's ...... Ultra Battleship. ”

"What!!!!!" Zuihe thrust in at once.

"Hey, how did you get into the secret communication?"

"I'm also a direct subordinate of Yamato, and the concealment circuit used by the I-401 is the same as Yamato's, and it's not like I haven't used this circuit. Then again, Yamato was sunk?!What the hell is going on?!"

“…… The only possibility is Musashi, right? Most of the explanations have been made clear, but what does Musashi ............ for?"

According to the information obtained from the crew of the U2501 captured last time, it can be inferred that when Chihaya Sho took them in, Yamato was indeed still there, and I-401 did not have a mental model, and later Chihaya Sho disappeared from the crew around him, which was the same time as Yamato's "disappearance", and I-401 also left for Yokosuka at that time.

As for the Yamato in the previous announcement video, it was Musashi who temporarily pasted his hull into blue.

All the clues are almost connected, but the decisive truth is still not available, and there is still a piece of the puzzle, the indispensable puzzle piece.

"Do you need to investigate the wreckage?" asked the crew of the I-401.

"Isn't it the right time? ”

"Understood. ”

Sure enough, after a while, Nachi sent a message: "75km ahead, detected super battleship Musashi, battleship x8, heavy cruiser x10, light cruiser x60, destroyer x40, submarine x5............"

Nazhi's detection level should be better, and it seems that the other party also has anti-reconnaissance equipment.
