Chapter 12: The country is about to perish, and ship girls everywhere (Part 2)
"...We cannot ignore the fact that the freedoms enjoyed everywhere by any citizen of the United States and the British Empire do not exist in many other countries, some of them very powerful countries. In these countries, various An all-encompassing police government imposes control on the population to an extent that overwhelms and violates all democratic principles, either by a few dictators or by a well-organized oligarchy, through a privileged party and a political police force. Festival In these troubled times, our responsibility is not to use force to intervene in the internal affairs of those countries we have not conquered. However, we must not give up the great principles and fundamentals of freedom in a fearless tone. Human rights. These common heritages of the English-speaking world, following the Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights, the law of habeas corpus, the jury trial system, and English common law, are world-famously expressed in the American Declaration of Independence."
“… So far, we are clearly in complete agreement. Now, while still pursuing this approach to realizing our comprehensive strategic concept, I would like to address the key issues of this trip. There are no what I would call individual The fraternal union of English-speaking compatriots cannot effectively prevent war and continue to develop the world organization. This union is to establish a special relationship between the Commonwealth and the Empire on the one side and the United States of America on the other. This is not a general relationship. When talk is empty, I want to talk clearly. Brotherly union requires not only a growing friendship and mutual understanding between our two large, blood-related social systems, but also requires continued close contact between the military advisers of both sides in order to jointly study potential dangers. Similarities and differences in weapons, training materials, and the exchange of officers and cadets in military academies. It should also include the joint use of all sea and air bases controlled by the two countries around the world so that existing facilities can continue to be used for mutual security. Purpose.”
“…No one knows what Soviet Russia and its Comintern intend to do in the immediate future and where, if at all, their expansionist and missionary tendencies will end. We understand that Russia needs protection of its western borders security from another invasion. We welcome its place in the international community, but it is my duty to put certain facts about the current situation in Europe before the people of the free world."
"... From the ice-covered Norwegian fjords to Calais on the southern shore of the Strait of Dover, a red Iron Curtain that isolates the European continent has descended. Behind this Iron Curtain, there are countless splendid historical cities. Warsaw, Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, Belgrade, Athens, Copenhagen and Stockholm, all of them. The cities and their inhabitants were all within the sphere of the evil Soviet Bolshevism, and these places could only gasp feebly under the increasingly oppressive control of the Kremlin. , is still radiating its immortal brilliance, and the civilians here can still freely decide their future. ”
"...in many countries far from the borders of Russia and spread all over the world, fifth columns obedient to the Soviets have been established. They are absolutely obedient to orders from Moscow and work in complete coordination. Everywhere they constitute a growing threat to Christian civilization. Provocative and dangerous. These are some bleak facts that everyone should remember. We would be unwise not to face them before it's too late."
"... Turning a blind eye to difficulties and dangers will not solve the problem; standing by and doing nothing will not solve the problem; adopting a policy of appeasement will not help. What is needed now is to make arrangements to solve the problem. The longer it is delayed, the more difficult it will be and the danger to us will be The bigger.
The last time I saw a war coming, I spoke loudly to my own countrymen and to the world, but no one listened. As late as 1933, or even as late as 1935, it might have been possible to save Germany and France from the terrible fate that later befell it, and save us all from the suffering imposed on humanity by Hitler and Stalin. I have seen this very early, but at that time, people were blinded by the suffering of World War I, and their excessive desire for peace led to the emergence of the appeasement policy. The same excessive fear of war led to the rapid fall of France. ”
"... In all the history of mankind, no war has been more easily stopped with timely action than the recent one which has reduced so much of the earth to ruins. It could have been stopped without a shot being fired. Germany could have been a strong, prosperous, and respected country. But no one would listen, so all of us were sucked into the terrible whirlpool one after another."

"...The tragedy should not be repeated. The red Iron Curtain has fallen, and the European continent is in a long night. In the long night, only the United States of America, standing in the New World, remains like a beacon in the storm. This long night exudes light and hope.”
"...The United States is now at the pinnacle of world power. This is a solemn moment for American democracy. With the greatest power comes an awesome responsibility for the future. Looking around, you not only feel that you have Even though I have fulfilled my responsibilities, I still feel worried. I am afraid that Future achievements may not reach such high levels. There is an opportunity here for both our countries, a clear and glorious opportunity that will be reviled by posterity if we reject it, ignore it, or squander it. Long blame.”
"...please do not underestimate the capabilities of the British Empire and the United States. If you add to the population of the United States the population of the English Commonwealth, plus the air, sea, science and industry involved in this partnership, cooperation, then there will be no unstable and unreliable balance of power, leading to careerists and adventurers I can't help it. If all the moral and material strength and conviction of Britain were united fraternally with yours, it would be a great success not only for us and for our time, but for all people. It is clear that it will bring about a broad future for the coming century.”
……
Listening to the radio station, Prime Minister Churchill's vision of "the United States and Britain unite to fight against Red Russia and regain Europe" in his speech, in the tea room of the Japanese Navy Shrine on Truk Island, someone held a pottery bowl full of special Red Star Vodka The black-haired beauty couldn't help but reveal a sarcastic smile on her lips.
——This is a very beautiful beauty, with a graceful oval face, smooth long black hair, and a pair of big watery eyes. The high bridge of her nose seems to be carved out, and her skin tone is like that of a Nordic. She is as white as cream, but her skin is as smooth and silky as that of East Asian women. It can be said that she has the advantages of both Eastern and Western beauties, making people reluctant to look away.
"...Churchill's Iron Curtain Speech...the time seems to have advanced! Really, why don't you just lie down and admit defeat?"
The black-haired beauty murmured in a low voice, while looking down at the world map spread out on the tatami, "...Hey, John Bull's bones are really too hard! I have already worked so hard, even the nuclear bomb. After throwing it away, you still want to maintain world hegemony! ”
——Judging from this map, the current situation of the British Commonwealth colonial empire that spread all over the world before the war is really miserable everywhere.
India, "the most precious diamond in the Queen of England's crown," is almost reduced to an isolated city in Delhi, and there is not even a port. It is impossible to send reinforcements and supplies there. No matter how powerful Governor Wavell is, he can't last long. Unless Nehru and Gandhi, two pseudo-revolutionaries whose attitudes were obviously not resolute enough, suddenly turned to cooperate with the British colonists... But this would almost be political suicide.
Except for Melbourne and Tasmania in the southeast corner of Australia, basically everything has changed hands. Moreover, the Japanese army in charge of the Australian strategy did not know whether it was out of inherent cruelty or in order to clean up and expand the living space for their own nation. They have been using various extremely cruel and bloody methods to continuously massacre and even torture white immigrants. Dozens of mass graves have been created, and the racial attributes of Australia as a whole have changed.
New Zealand became a fighting arena between the Japanese Marines and the U.S. Marines. Several port cities were reduced to ashes during shelling and bombing. The industry, agriculture, and animal husbandry in the coastal areas were almost on the verge of collapse, while the inland areas were still Maori. The indigenous people are in charge: New Zealand before and after World War II was not as developed as it was in later generations. A considerable part of the area still maintained its wild character, with only occasional explorers visiting.
Although South Africa is far away from the flames of war, it is run by a group of rebels. Just like the thirteen states in North America back then, when faced with a national crisis, they not only refused to sacrifice their lives to serve the country, but instead kept digging for information about the British Empire in Africa. In the corner of the wall, he is thinking about building his own "African Empire".
On the surface, Canada is still a territory of the British Crown, but in fact it has long become a taboo of the White House. Being able to spend money and send troops to support Britain's war mainly depends on the unity of the English-speaking people and the support of the United States. But if the other party really wants to show their wealth and honor their master, don't daydream.
At present, the only territories left where the British colonists can get whatever they want and amass wantonly are North Africa, Egypt, the Mesopotamia and the Syrian colonies snatched from France. Although it is far less rich than India and South Africa, the hungry British can only expropriate and extort the Arabs in this land... Since the beginning of World War II, people in that place have starved to death almost every year. .
Especially in Egypt, anti-British riots in Cairo and Alexandria increased from annual to monthly because so much wheat, dates, and camels were confiscated by the British army. But this was of no use. Instead, it made the British army's massacre more and more convenient.
After going around in a circle, it seems that the British colonies all over the world are on fire and completely collapsed. It can be said that they have been tortured to the point of being unable to toss any more. If they want to cause further trouble, they can only go directly to the British mainland.
"... Are we going to engage in breaking diplomatic relations at sea and unrestricted submarine warfare so that the British can't even eat lunch meat and can only dig bark and grass roots? But copying the German tactics is really boring! And it takes effect too slowly Or carry out a strategic bombing of London, drop a few nuclear bombs or dirty bombs, and turn London into a radioactive wasteland? The internal impact is not very good; the hydrogen bomb is still not available, and it is not needed for the time being. However, it seems that there are more than a hundred atomic bombs... Well, the weapons were built just for use. You are such a loser who has fired tens of thousands of nuclear bombs until the country is destroyed. You are so weak! You decided so happily!”
The black-haired beauty raised her neck and drank more than half a bowl of vodka, and then burped happily, "...In order to scare the British to death as soon as possible, I suggest Comrade Stalin choose a day to conduct an atomic bomb test at the Thames Estuary. ! Let the citizens of London appreciate the Soviet mushroom cloud and teach them to behave like a sunset empire! Well, if you want to play, you should play big, just let off a twenty-one-gun salute..."
She casually drew a small mushroom cloud on the map, then squinted her eyes again and revealed a pleasant smile.
--ah! Use the earth as a stage, the ocean as a battlefield, and the country and the army as chess pieces. The entire earth is your own game field...
This feeling of being arrogant about the world, overlooking all sentient beings, and controlling everything is really great!
Think about the despair of being imprisoned in a neo-Nazi concentration camp on the battlefield in Eastern Ukraine, waiting to be disemboweled for organs to be sold; and being stranded naked on an uninhabited tropical island with three other women, almost thinking that they were The frustration of becoming a savage or a female version of Robinson; then look at the manipulating the world behind the scenes to beat people to death, subverting history, and blaming Fang Qiu's majesty... Sophie felt a mixture of emotions in her heart for a moment.
And the power of faith that continuously poured into the body made this great and invincible ship girl Comrade Sophie feel refreshed.
But at the next moment, she suddenly felt something strange and couldn't help but open her eyes. Then, with a strange expression, she saw a familiar young man wearing a helmet, body armor and camouflage uniforms, standing with some restraint. Under the eaves at the door, there was a look of bewilderment.
——I originally thought I would come to a battlefield with gunfire and bullets flying everywhere, but unexpectedly I walked into a Japanese-style house covered with tatami mats, surrounded by screens and paper sliding doors, facing a quiet courtyard, and surrounded by... It was filled with a group of elegant and beautiful girls of all kinds.
Such a huge contrast confused Comrade Wang Qiu, who had just entered this World War II instance.
Therefore, after being stunned for a moment, he lowered his head and flipped through the "Book of Time Travel", and before the girls realized that the stranger had broken in and screamed, he asked in Japanese, "...cough cough , I’m sorry to bother you, but don’t be afraid. Is there a Sophie lady here?”
Then, Wang Qiu fully experienced the subtle feeling of being watched and watched from eighteen pairs of eyes from different angles.
The next moment, he was even more horrified to see that the eighteen girls all made smiling expressions and said loudly in unison:
"...Aha! Long time no see, Mr. Wang Qiu! Would you like a cup of coffee?"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
A moment later, Wang Qiu, who was rolling his eyes with mosquito-repellent incense for some reason, was holding a steaming tea bowl and kneeling on the tatami with a dull expression.
The tea bowl is full of fragrant Russian coffee - made from egg yolks, milk, chocolate, vodka, sugar, cream and coffee. It has a strong alcoholic taste, which makes Wang Qiu a little unaccustomed to drinking it, but at any rate It can refresh him and reorganize the huge amount of information that has just entered his mind.
After a while, although the thinking in his mind was still a bit confusing, he had managed to sort out the general outline of the matter.
First of all, this is the tropical waters of the Western Pacific, Truk, an important anchorage for the Japanese Combined Fleet.
Secondly, in this somewhat strange dungeon of World War II, there is only one trapped infinite space reincarnation, and he is an acquaintance of Wang Qiu: in the plot worlds of "Black Lagoon" and "Robinson Crusoe", there used to be I met a female guerrilla from Eastern Ukraine, Ms. Sophie.
——This is an "expired hairy girl" who had a very rough life. In the dark ages after the collapse of the Soviet Union, like many Ukrainian blond girls who were forced by hunger and cold, Sophie was also trafficked to Western Europe and the United States, and became a The torture that a stripper who fell into prostitution suffered during this period is really unspeakable.
After twenty years of suffering, Sophie, who was lucky enough to survive, finally returned to her hometown with the savings from selling herself and rebuilt her own house. Unexpectedly, the Ukrainian civil war broke out, and the house she built with her life savings was burned down by the war. Sophie, who lost her home again, angrily joined the guerrilla militia, but was soon captured by the neo-Nazi organization in the Western Ukraine camp and thrown into a death camp to wait for her organs to be sold.
Then, before being disemboweled and having her heart and liver ripped out, Sophie was pulled into infinite space by the Lord God and became a reincarnation. Then the main god system collapsed... Although Wang Qiu also tried hard to rescue her at that time, he couldn't get enough points to redeem her, and the loan sharks Doraemon was carrying became more and more urgent every day. In order to end the lack of oil and water plot world of "Robinson Crusoe" as soon as possible and enter other more oily plot worlds to earn money to help Doraemon pay off his debts, Wang Qiu had to arrange for Sophie to log in to the main god system again and randomly assign her to Go to a different world...
So, when Sophie regained consciousness again, she found that she had come to a certain replica world of World War II in 1936, and she was no longer human: she had become the most famous warship in the Soviet Union and even the entire socialist camp, the cruiser Af The shipgirl of the Lore!
Moreover, Sophie, the ship girl, not only has a humanoid body, but also has the ability to create more clones by eroding other warships under construction. The premise is that she has enough power of faith... The source of this power of faith is actually It doesn't necessarily mean that the battleship should be worshiped as a god, but as long as the battleship has a high enough reputation and makes people admire or admire it, Sophie, the ship's wife, can have the power of faith to make money.
In the hands of the ship girl Sophie, this power of faith can be used for many purposes: controlling the operation of the warship, adjusting the structure of the warship, improving the material of the keel and steel plates, and even refining metal from seabed veins and "pinching" it out of thin air. A new boat is coming! In addition, if aircraft, tanks, cannons, firearms and ammunition are needed, Sophie can also use the power of faith to "pinch" them as long as there are enough raw materials.
But there is also a trouble: Sophie, the ship girl, can only corrode the warships that have just started construction, but there is nothing she can do about the warships that have already been launched into service. And the Soviet Union has not launched many good warships in these years. If a warship that is not well-known enough is eroded, it will cause the Power of Faith to make ends meet.
Of course, the warships that Ship Girl Sophie can corrode are not only Soviet ships, but at least they cannot be from the "hostile camp" - according to Sophie's attempt, as a Soviet Ship Girl, Germany, Britain, France, Italy and the United States are constructing The warships that have not yet been launched actually belong to the "hostile camp" to her: this "hostile camp" seems to be calculated based on the time span from World War II to the Cold War. Therefore, her attempts to erode the Italian battleship Veneto, the French battleship Richelieu, and the British battleship Prince of Wales all failed.
On the contrary, the battleships of the Japanese Empire, after the trial of the ship girl Sophie, were not considered to be her "hostile camp" and were within the scope of erosion: probably because when the Soviet Union declared war on Japan in history, the Japanese navy had already sunk. There are no ships left.
After the end of World War II, the old Japanese Empire was equivalent to its demise, and there was no need to consider the question of camp...
So, she "pinched" a small unmanned submarine, traveled all the way to Japan, and once she got started, she eroded the final decisive battle weapon of the Japanese Empire, the legendary battleship Yamato. Then, while trying to find a way to contact Comrade Stalin, the steel uncle, he also deceived the captain of the Yamato and the commander of the combined fleet, Yamamoto Isoroku, thus rapidly multiplying in the naval camps of the Soviet Union and Japan.
In fact, the Japanese ship girls in the room in front of Wang Qiu are all the clones of Aunt Sophie. In order to distinguish them, they can be called Sophie Yamato, Sophie Shimakaze, Sophie Nowaki, Sophie Akizuki, Sophie Tianjin Breeze...and so on. In addition, in the distant Soviet Union, there is another group of Russian ship girl clones such as Sophie Guogan and Sophie Avrol. The reason why Wang Qiu appeared on the side of the Japanese Navy instead of the Avrol in Leningrad after crossing the plane is probably because there are more clones of Japanese ship girls.
Theoretically speaking, the number of Sophie's ship girl clones can be increased indefinitely. However, the maintenance of each clone consumes the power of faith. If the power of faith cannot make ends meet or even be exhausted, it will be serious for ship girl Sophie. losses, it can even be said to be constant blood loss. And if the corroded battleship is destroyed, Sophie will feel "severe pain as if her soul is being torn apart"...
Generally speaking, the greater the tonnage and reputation of the sunk "clone battleship", the more serious the damage caused to the ship's wife Sophie. If the Avrol as the initial ship was destroyed, then even if the ship's wife Sophie did not die on the spot, she would probably become a vegetable... No, it would be a vegetable ship.
Therefore, in this world of World War II dungeon, Sophie has not yet made it weird to the point where "the battleships are mine no matter where they are".
But even so, after being stuffed with such a big variable like her, the replica of World War II in this world has completely changed beyond recognition.
——As an ordinary "mistaken woman" of later generations, although Sophie lived for more than 40 years, her understanding of international competition and historical changes is still relatively simple. According to the crude concept in her mind: since the collapse of the Soviet Union that led to her being trafficked into the red light district was due to the United States losing the Cold War, the cause of the Ukrainian Civil War that led to her being thrown into a death camp was also instigated by European and American Western forces. , so as long as the Yankee and his accomplice the British are caught as soon as possible, and they beat them to death regardless, the tragedy that happened to her in the other world will probably not happen again, right?
Therefore, in this world's replica of World War II, the Soviet Union and Japan broke out respectively, while the United States and the United Kingdom suffered their own tragedies.
Looking at the map on the map, the rogue version of the Soviet Union, which almost single-handedly wiped out the Nazis in Germany, seemed to be on the verge of liberating the entire European continent; a small force that persisted until the autumn of 1945 and still faced off against the United States, the country of hope for mankind, and never lost. version of Japan; the entire colonial empire collapsed, and the British Royal Navy suffered two atomic bombs; it was unscientific The super-powerful version of the Japanese combined fleet has been beaten on the head for four years. The United States, which has the world's largest industrial strength but cannot exert it... There is also the country under its feet that rules the southwest Pacific with Truk as the center, and is jointly controlled by the Japanese navy. The Thousand Island Country created by the fleet is very similar to the "New Japan" of the Orb Republic in "Gundam SEED". Wang Qiu couldn't help being speechless for a moment...
Aunt Sophie, you have really experienced a very eventful life in this world... No, boat student!
——The time traveler itself is a huge variable that can change history, and a super time traveler like Ship Girl Sophie, combined with the supreme leader of a superpower and the top general of another military power, is enough to change the entire world. The history of the world has been turned upside down.
Anyway, Wang Qiu can no longer recognize the current copy of World War II, and it seems that there are signs of a third war before the end of World War II.
Of course, since this is Sophie's world, no matter how bad things are, it is her personal hobby, and Wang Qiu doesn't want to meddle in others' affairs.
——After learning that the ship girl Sophie was very satisfied with her life in this world and did not plan to leave, Wang Qiu happily opened the "Book of Time Travel" again, preparing to directly redeem reward points and quickly end this The story world allows Sophie to break away from the main god system and completely become a resident of this world - the World War II dungeon was so ruined by her. It should be easy to get 50,000 points by changing the plot line, right?
Hey, speaking of it, this seems to be the first time that a task can be completed so easily! He thought with a smile.
As a result, within a few seconds, the smile that just appeared on Wang Qiu's face froze.
"...The current total points are 1,355,600 reward points. The total points required for everyone to escape and end the plot... 3 million reward points?! How is this possible?! It's not a rule Fifty thousand points per person? When did it increase to sixty times? "In a moment, Wang Qiu and Sophie couldn't help but stare at each other... After a while, Sophie took the lead and spoke: "...Well...if it is exactly sixty times, could it be because Is it because I eroded a total of sixty ships and created sixty clones?”
