Chapter 49, Girls’ Yamato (continued)
In short, it took more than half an hour for the acting captain of the Yamato, Ms. Minami Rika, who was wearing a snow-white uniform, golden tassels on her shoulders, and a gorgeous saber hanging on her waist, to successfully assemble the entire ship except for the duty personnel on the front deck. Most of the female sailors outside. Some of them forgot to wear hats, some had their shoes kicked off, some were wearing clothes crookedly, and some even forgot to wear skirts and came up wearing only a crotch cloth with most of their butt exposed...
But no matter what, they still gathered on the front deck with excitement and anxiety and sang the military song of the Japanese Navy.
"...Defense, attack! The omnipotent steel fortress!
Sincerely please, my floating castle!
Floating castle, defend the four sides of this cherry blossom kingdom!
attack! To the country that hates Japan!
You are the indestructible real steel battleship!
Your soot is the dragon swaying on the sea!
The roar of the artillery was the only thunder in the storm!
The warships pass by the thousands of miles of waves, and the light of the empire shines forever! ”
When these female sailors with extremely poor military appearance lined up in a messy queue to hold the morning flag-raising ceremony amidst the music of the "Warship March" played by a makeshift women's Western band, which was obviously a bit ridiculous. Admiral Kurita Takeo, Chief of Military Command Jisaburo Ozawa, and Combined Fleet Chief of Staff Kami Shigetoku, who were standing on the bridge of the Yamato for inspection, all had expressions of collapse that were almost fainting, as if they were more disgusting than eating flies.
"...This...such an unsightly military appearance has never been seen in my life, and I have never even imagined it! Even a college student who has just been recruited into the army and has never received a day of formal training will not be like this! I guess! In my opinion, it is totally unacceptable to allow women to board warships!”
Kurita Keno shook his head repeatedly and whispered, "...according to European tradition, it is also believed that women boarding warships will bring bad luck!"
"...The reason why Western countries have the saying that 'women on warships will bring bad luck' is because captains in the Age of Discovery were worried that if there were women on the ship, the sailors who had been holding back for a long time would become jealous of each other in order to seek pleasure. , leading to chaos, affecting the unity and cooperation of the entire ship, and ultimately causing the battle to fail. In fact, it was just like the witch hunting of the medieval church, which was just prejudice and conjecture.”
Commander Narumi Inoue, commander of the Combined Fleet, who has traveled overseas for many years and is more familiar with Europe and the United States, dismissed such superstitious claims, "...otherwise, those famous female pirates in the Age of Discovery would be How did it come about? In fact, as long as we strictly enforce military discipline, or simply use all female soldiers on a ship like now, there won’t be much of a problem..."
"...And if you don't let female soldiers on warships, where can you get more people?"
Wang Qiu, who held the title of "Representative of the Communist International", glanced back at these picky Japanese naval generals and said, "...Don't forget that your country is in the middle of a cruel war with a huge disparity in strength. According to The amount of hatred accumulated between the United States and Britain and you, There is no longer any possibility of decent peace, and there may not even be a chance to become a second-class citizen in the colony! Once Japan is completely defeated, the end is likely to be the destruction of the entire nation, that is, the death of the North American Indians. Genocide!
If you want to avoid such a misfortune, you must use all the power you can organize. When the men are almost exhausted, you must continue to tie women in the kitchen and next to the cradle. It is basically an extreme use of human resources. A big waste, even a kind of suicide...according to the practical experience of the Soviet Union. Whether in factories or in the military, women's work ability is not much worse than that of men. Although it is said that "war makes women go away", what is the point of letting women go away when the entire nation is about to be slaughtered? Leave it to the invaders to have children and repopulate your nation? ”
In this regard, the naval generals had no choice but to remain silent: If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't recruit enough young men, who would like to use female soldiers?
However, cruel war never tolerates anyone being petty. No matter how difficult it is, as long as the war can be won, a soldier can only learn and do it with his nose in his hands. Of course, there are generals with granite heads, but they are basically old immortals who hide behind security and sit in the office gesticulating all day long. If they were all dragged to the front line of the battlefield and fully re-educated on American and British bombs, torpedoes and artillery shells, their severely rigid minds would soon become more flexible...

——War can force good people to become devils, and it can also force the most ignorant people to become the most diligent and good students.
"...Of course I also understand the importance of recruiting female soldiers, and I also understand that in order to win the war, all traditions and decency can be sacrificed. No matter how dishonorable it is, it is better than losing the war! But the question is, why should we let women be recruited? Where are they on the Yamato? Look at what they look like now. Son, not to mention fighting against enemy warships and aircraft, the military headquarters did not even dare to let them sail the Yamato to anchor and go to sea. They only dared to park this giant ship on the dock for training! "What a waste of silence! After a while, Chief of Staff Kamizhongtoku couldn't help complaining.
"...Then what do you think we should do? Are these women who have just been drafted into the army, some of whom are even underage female high school students, to directly operate those original battleships that burn heavy oil boilers?"
The dashing shipgirl Sophie Yamato suddenly appeared on the bridge, interrupting and shouting loudly, "... on these warships attached to me, at least I can supervise and control them at any time. , even novices and rookies will not cause any serious accidents. If they are assigned to an old ship with heavy oil boilers before they have mastered any skills, God knows what trouble they will cause!"
All the admirals on the bridge were silent again - among the existing fourteen Yamato-class battleships, from the No. 1 Yamato to the No. 5 Kii, they were all magically modified by the shipgirl using the power of faith. Sci-fi version", its power has been changed to a nuclear fusion palladium reactor using Marvel's Iron Man technology, and its endurance can be about one hundred times around the earth. The engine was changed to an all-electric drive, which is quiet, smoke-free and easy to dissipate heat. Radars and sonar are also the most advanced types in the 21st century, and there are even satellite guidance and positioning... If they continue to modify them without any effort, even if they want to build a real "Space Battleship Yamato", it will not be possible. Totally impossible. What's more important is that these five battleships are all "ship-girl driven" highly intelligent versions of automated weapons. Strictly speaking, no one on board can escape, but this will consume too much power of faith.
However, the nine Yamato-class battleships purchased later from [chronological vending machines] were original versions that burned heavy oil. Not only did they not have various advanced equipment that were gradually installed later, they even lacked the transmission system, weapon system, and sighting system. Equipment, turbines, boilers, etc. are all in a factory-fresh state that requires fine-tuning and running-in. Even experienced sailors, let alone laymen and novices, have to spend a lot of time getting it into the ideal state.
Therefore, in order to allow these new ships to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, instead of lying in the harbor and rusting, the Navy had to transfer the experienced officers and soldiers from the original modified Yamato-class battleships intact, leaving only a handful of them. The personnel is responsible for leading a group of female soldiers...
But despite this, the original Yamato-class battleships were still riddled with problems during the sea trials. Either pipelines were broken, oil leaks or electricity leaks, or even rudders failed, and they lacked many advanced equipment such as radars. The old sailors who were used to the modified version of the Yamato class were complaining... Not to mention that even if they demolished the east wall to repair the west wall, they only managed to get five Yamato class manpower, and the remaining four Yamato class ships were still unmanned!
The wartime base camp in Hiroshima was also very dissatisfied with this. They originally thought that with fourteen Yamato-class battleships at once, such a strong force would be able to quickly launch a counterattack and wipe out the American and British monsters that had invaded Japan's territory. Who knew the result would be Not even one can be dispatched...
As the newly appointed Minister of Military Command, General Ozawa Jisaburo has naturally heard many complaints of various kinds, but he can also understand the helplessness involved. However, when he accidentally noticed that there were a group of children of several years old on the Yamato, he finally couldn't help but have an attack.
"...I can understand the frustration of having to recruit female soldiers onto the ship, and I also understand the difficulty of having to use the Yamato as a training ship. But...even so, they can't be allowed to bring children with them, right? ? Is this going to turn Yamato into a sea elementary school or a sea kindergarten? ”
"...Ah...In fact, a sea elementary school and a sea kindergarten have been opened on the Yamato, Minister Ozawa."
I saw the ship girl Sophie Yamato smiling and stroking the hair of a certain sailor uniform lolita, then turned around and said matter-of-factly, "...just like the German Junkers, who have been paying attention to military service from generation to generation since ancient times, Japan Since we want to become a maritime country, it is necessary to popularize navigation education for all people. In this way, we can simply let the children follow their parents. Isn't it a great good thing for the country and the people to learn sailing on a warship and go through the wind and waves since childhood, thus creating a family of skilled sailors? Also sent to the Yamato for training, so that he can inherit his father’s legacy and fully experience the boundless charm of the vast sea and steel battleships?”
General Ozawa Jisaburo, Minister of Military Command: "..."
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
——Compared with ordinary Japanese civilians in this era who lived in pavilions made of paper and wood and ate brown rice and pickled vegetables all day long, the living standard on the Yamato battleship was obviously more advanced, more modern, and more comfortable. Much more: The so-called "Yamato Inn" is by no means in vain.
First of all, compared with ordinary warships and even civilian ships, the living area on the Yamato-class battleship is very spacious. Even ordinary soldiers are equipped with dedicated sleepers instead of sleeping in hammocks. Based on the full complement of 2,500 people on the ship, the per capita living area is 3.2 square meters - in the eyes of modern Japanese urban residents who are accustomed to living in pigeon cages, such a living area is no longer small! The officers on the ship have a separate cabin for each person. The room is equipped with a single bed, a writing desk, a wardrobe and a folding washbasin. The conditions are not much worse than single apartments in the city. Moreover, you don’t even have to wash your own clothes on the ship, but are equipped with special large-scale washing machines to provide services to ensure that all crew members can wear clean clothes at any time.
Secondly, all living and working areas in the Yamato-class battleships are equipped with air-conditioning and heating air-conditioning. The temperature of each cabin in the ship is constant. The powerful remaining power of the magazine cooler is used for cooling, and the heating comes from steam or electric heaters. Initially, when these warships still burned heavy oil, in order to save fuel, only the officers' cabins could be air-conditioned, while the soldiers' cabins were only ventilated with ventilators. However, after the first five Yamato-class battleships, serial numbers 1 to 5, have completed the magic modification of nuclear fusion power and have endless power, 24-hour air conditioning and heating in all cabins of the ship will not be a problem. It is said to be more comfortable than most urban houses in Japan today.
Third, although the original Yamato-class battleships can carry more than 500 tons of fresh water, boilers and steam turbines are large water users, so in addition to drinking water, the fresh water that can be used for crew washing is very limited, and even the kitchen is used to wash rice. seawater. Bathing in public bathrooms also uses hot seawater, and then rinses with fresh water after washing, and can only be washed once every three days, forcing some officers and soldiers who love cleanliness to have to use the dripping water condensed outside the refrigerator pipes to scrub their bodies. It can be said that It is the most uncomfortable place in daily life at "Yamato Hotel"...
However, with the magically modified version of the five Yamato-class battleships, they surpassed the times and used nuclear fusion reactors and all-electric power. Not only did they replace the main engine with an electric motor, they became quieter and more water-saving, and no longer needed to burn boilers, making the inventory More than 500 tons of fresh water can be converted into domestic uses. At the same time, there is sufficient energy and technology to activate the desalination system, so that the crew no longer suffers from the lack of fresh water.
Therefore, the rookie female sailors who were recruited aboard the Yamato soon found themselves as if they were living on a luxury cruise ship. Not only is the food rich and luxurious, but daily necessities such as clothes and towels are free of charge, free water and electricity are available, and accommodation is available - after using nuclear fusion reactors and all-electric power, The standing manpower required by the Yamato battleship has been greatly reduced; it no longer serves as a flagship, and there is no need to arrange a large headquarters staff team, and the per capita living area has become more spacious. Many female sailors who have become mothers found themselves assigned to a single room like an apartment, while their children were still living on the shore with no food or clothing, relying on others, or living alone in a place with no water or electricity, and which was mostly destroyed by a U.S. plane bomb. In a broken house. So I thought about whether I could bring my own children on the boat to live there, so that we could share the blessings and share the hardships...
——Under normal circumstances, such a ridiculous request would definitely be slapped back. But the problem is that the current situation of the Japanese Navy has nothing to do with the word "normal" - the Maozi ship girl who really calls the shots behind the scenes, Miss Sophie, who has a maternal aura, is very interested in this proposal, and It was discovered that after switching to a palladium fusion reactor and all-electric power, the large After taking out the cumbersome boilers and pipe valves, a considerable amount of spare space was freed up on the ship. I didn't know what to use it for, but now it can be used to open kindergartens and elementary schools on the ship... As for the female teachers, they are also very good. They are easy to find, and you can find many of them just by recruiting among the female crew members.
As a result, the battleship Yamato not only became the "Yamato Hotel", but also served as the "Yamato Elementary School" and "Yamato Kindergarten"...
After the senior navy generals learned all this, on the one hand they were deeply shocked and even embarrassed, but they also found that the ship was already done and there was nothing they could do about it. On the other hand, they could not help but secretly think: the battleship Yamato The living conditions are very good, everyone knows this. As for safety issues, with Miss Shipiang keeping a close watch 24 hours a day, there shouldn't be any major leaks. So, it would not be a bad idea to let your wife, children, daughter-in-law, and granddaughters all move to this ship and receive education from the "ship school"...? Even if there are no female generals or tiger girls of the Wumen, at least it is much better than staying in a rural hometown that lacks food and drink, or in a city that is bombed every day... - What they don't know yet is that in Ma Under the deception of Tong, an otaku girl, the ship girl Su, who has become increasingly imaginative and crazy recently, Miss Fei is even preparing to form a women's maritime volunteer army under the banner of "Blue Mermaid" in the territory of the newly established Nanyang island country "Obu", and plans to transform several "school ships" to serve as maritime A mobile school...and maybe a game of Battle Lanes on the deck?
Well, if you definitely want to play the battle lane, the largest ship "Oasis of the Seas" has a deck area comparable to three or four football fields. It may be a bit reluctant to drive a heavy or medium tank, but you have to fight Japan's bean war. car and the Italian CV-33 kart, it should be fine... I don’t know if you guys Veteran generals of the Navy saw their daughters or granddaughters leaning half out of the bean chariot to the accompaniment of the music of "Snow March", waving a short whip and shouting "F***!" ( Panzer-Vor: Tank, advance!) What kind of strange expression does it look like on its face?
