I Became a Captain of the British Empire - I Became a Captain of the British Empire chapter 103

uninvited guest

“So there are various interpretations of this, but one is that Hamlet is mad, and actually Claudius did not kill the king… … .”

“Okay, Ambassador! I’m sorry for the interruption, but can I go up to the bridge for a while? Because something urgent happened.”

“Is it urgent? this! I’ve been holding on too long!”

“no. it’s okay.”

Ambassador Eden hurriedly stood up. I waved my hand at him, who apologized repeatedly, and walked to the door.

I just want to get out of this space as soon as possible.

“Eggplant, adjutant.”

“yes? There was no contact from the bridge.”

Hey, you stupid bastard!

Lieutenant Colonel Richie, the adjutant who only blinks blindly. Did this bastard eat jjambab carelessly?

“Oops… Was it a mistake?”

Eden notices and refines his voice.

no! It starts again!

“Then let’s start talking again. Oh, how far have we been talking? Was it the interpretation part of the ending? Anyway, first we need to go back to England in the 16th century to get a deeper understanding of this work.”

Ahh… My head is pounding again. Please someone shut that mouth… … .

As he glared at the careless adjutant and distorted his face, Kirk quickly continued his words.

“Oh, I just got a call! The admiral says he has something to check.”

“what? Hey sailor, what does that mean… … .”

“Nice work, Kirk! Let’s move on.”

Footsteps echoing hastily.

I bowed my head to Eden, who was looking at me with a puzzled face, pretending to be as sorry as possible.

“I am very sorry, Ambassador. I’m in the middle of an operation, so it’s hard to talk anymore.”

“ah… I’m sorry. The rest of the story will be solved in the Far East.”

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Please, I hope that the nobleman forgets his promise before going to the Far East.

I left the room as if running away, dragging the lieutenant colonel who was still at a loss.

“Damn it, didn’t I ask to come out!”

“yes? No, I didn’t even know that was the intention… … .”

“Can’t you just look at it?”

Corridor of Repulse.

A low, but sharp voice echoed through the bulkhead. Lieutenant Colonel Ritchie stood stiff at the knife-like accusation.

“sorry. Admiral’s words, I will bear with you.”

Breaking out in a cold sweat, he suddenly looked over his shoulder and trembled. Wanting something, I turned my head in the same way.

The young man who had been standing next to the ambassador all along in the previous conference.

He seemed to be wearing some high-heeled shoes and found us.

“Admiral Lewis, you are here.”

approaching with a smile

Damn it, what’s up again?

Did this guy really go up the bridge or watch him? Did Eden make it so?

I got nervous and stood in front of him.

“What are you doing? I’m about to go up to the bridge soon.”

“Nothing. I wanted to talk for a while.”

what is this again

Even Lieutenant Colonel Rich looks at him with a puzzled face.

“I don’t know what you mean. We have to go up for the operation right now.”

I said to the mysterious man with wrinkles between my brows.

“There must have been no reports from the bridge?”

“How do you know that?”

“I heard everything.”

Soon after, a man approached as if he were closely attached to him.

“I have a story I couldn’t tell you. Let’s relocate at once. It’s not like Shakespeare, so don’t worry.”

I blinked and looked at the man smiling casually.

But wait a minute.

“You, please… … .”

Shhh, she raised her finger to her lips. Then, he closes his eyes and nods.

“It’s been quite a while, Admiral Lewis.”

It seems that one of the uninvited guests got hit.

“Your stomach is so wide.”

The captain’s room came in because he needed a secret place.

Looking around the room littered with all sorts of junk, books, and furniture, K looked back at me with an exaggerated smile pretending to admire.

A face that had been a decent young gentleman just a moment ago. But after rubbing it with my hands, I become a completely different person. After listening to it, my voice changed a little.

I don’t know what kind of magic he did. Anyway, she is a woman who can’t be careless. Of course, the Prime Minister sent it in the sense that he would help, but… … .

“You know what? There is a saying that bad things happen if you take a woman on a boat.”

“Isn’t that superstitious?”

“A sailor lives on superstition.”

“That person must be a being wholly feeds.”

Responding calmly, K.

Shaking his head and ignoring the words, he sat down in a chair and asked again.

“So, why did you appear here?”

“Why would a spy come out?”

Slowly, I sit down on the sofa. Well, there is only one answer.

“You’re a spy.”

“answer!”

“That is a very refreshing answer. Can we do this to our allies?”

“Anyone who knows everything asks something like that.”

Feeding and laughing all come out. I’ve come to a position where it’s too late to step out now.

In any case, it was already expected that relations with Japan would not be smooth. The alliance was only a temporary match of interests.

Yesterday’s comrades can become today’s enemies in diplomacy. And they’re annoying friends when they’re enemies.

“So what is your mission?”

“I cannot tell you that. At least for now.”

He answers as if drawing a line firmly with his legs crossed. Does the Ministry of Information not interfere?

“Then I don’t want to be taken advantage of here either.”

“At least it’s not a matter related to the operation.”

Bullsh*t. War is an extension of politics. And it is absurd to say that espionage activities subordinated to a country’s political diplomacy do not affect operations. I’m not quite the same.

“Compensation is salty for what this side did.”

“Are you hanging out?”

“Thanks to your bullsh*t.”

“aha!”

K., clapping his hands and opening his eyes wide.

I’m even more angry because I don’t really know. As I furrowed my eyebrows, she hurriedly spoke.

“It’s a mission, so I can’t help it. That’s also the case, first of all, I’m in a position where I have to examine all possibilities.”

“Someone was in trouble because of that… ! If I were an alien from the moon, would you believe that too?”

“Oh, I’ll tell you that next time.”

“Shut up! damn it!”

He is still a small talker. Anyway, I can’t back down from this situation.

When I opened my eyes and stared at her, she finally shrugged and opened her mouth.

“great. Let me tell you roughly.”

K, who corrected his posture, thrusts his upper body in. whispering voice. Short blonde hair glistening in the light. He raises his slender fingers as if to explain.

“Do you know what the situation in Japan is like now?”

Well, it’s roughly in your head. Still, I didn’t sleep in history class.

“Taisho Romance… Was it? No, it’s Showa now.”

Wait, when was Taisho? Um I remember… … .

As I search through the dusty memories, K glances at me in disbelief.

No, I didn’t really sleep. Do you remember? Real Luda.

“They say there are two countries in Japan.”

“Army and Navy.”

It’s a matter of knowing!

Like a student who found an easy question with the first question on the test paper, I answered out loud without even realizing it.

Staring in amazement, K.

“You know me?”

“At least in that field.”

And this one couldn’t be more unknown. It’s like a trademark of the Japanese military.

Japanese army and navy confrontation.

In the original history, it was more widely known as the game text, ‘The Army opposes the Navy’s opinion.’

It is a tradition that has been continued since the establishment of the modern military in the early days of the opening of ports. It was a skit that took place because of the difference in political views as well as being close to the Cheolcheon enemy from the origin.

Thanks to this, the army and navy committed acts that are difficult to see as the military of the same country, such as sending spies to each other.

I wonder if an aircraft carrier and a submarine belonging to the Army came out.

“At least I’ve heard that their families are a piece of sh*t.”

“that’s right. And that is what we will pay attention to in this war.”

Are you related to us?

As she tilts her head curiously, she puts her hand inside her shirt and rummages through something.

Before long, a small map appeared in her hand. When unfolded on the desk, the appearance of the Far East continent is visible.

“This is the current rough layout of the Japanese Army.”

Army marks written on the warm map with body temperature. Next to the garrison, from the supply status of each unit to the number of soldiers.

It contains as detailed information as possible.

More serious intelligence than you think. However, without even being surprised, something strange appeared.

“what is this?”

Something is strange.

An unusually oversized continental garrison. Many elite division marks can be seen centered on Manchuria and Qingdao.

“There are suspicious movements in the troops in Qingdao and Manchuria.”

I have a feeling that something is unusual. I think I’ve seen this composition somewhere.

“Isn’t there anything you’re expecting?”

“… well.”

Actually there is. At this point in time, there is only one thing.

‘The Manchurian Incident.’

The start of a tragic 15-year war, caused by accidental runaways by field commanders. It is also an incident that symbolizes the Japanese military, which is tainted with madness without knowing how high the sky is.

However, the cabinet would have opposed it. But why? Could it be that the army is arbitrarily planning a war? Isn’t it just the atrocities of the younger generation?

The situation is definitely strange. Perhaps, something a little more complicated might be involved in the Combined Fleet’s delay in sortie.

“I heard from an informant in the Far East, but something is definitely complicated. Maybe that’s why I didn’t sit there because I liked it too.”

“… Isn’t that just a simple time-wasting?”

K. just nodded without answering. She folded the map finely and put it back into her arms before finally looking at me and shrugging her shoulders again.

“Anyway, good luck. It’s important.”

“It’s fine no matter what you say. Anyway, who has to say that right now… … .”

“This is not going to battle like before. I’m going to diplomacy.”

She has a cold expression on her face and speaks sternly.

I just shook my head helplessly.

Are you talking about some kind of inclusive diplomacy? Against the United Fleet? However, if the cabinet decides on a matter, we have no choice but to follow it.

If a soldier is black, he should be black. damn it

“You should be very aware of that.”

As if he was giving some great advice, K stood up with a wink in his eyes. As he was about to leave the door, he looked back as if he had forgotten.

“Oh, right. Ambassador Eden said.”

Suddenly, I stood up in a new spot I didn’t know, and stiffened.

It’s only been a few hours since we met, but the name already gave me chills.

K, who smiled at me dumbfounded, continued his conversation leisurely.

“He said if he was bored with Shakespeare, he wouldn’t do it next time. Can I tell you if it’s okay?”

Oh, it wasn’t that I didn’t notice.

It looks like he’s trying to convey it through K, as if he’s too embarrassed to say it himself.

In response, I happily nodded.

“Please tell me that we can talk slowly after the war is over.”

Of course, I don’t know if I’ll see him after that. At that time, I will take care of it.

I believe in the future me!

Suddenly, the door closed and I spoke to the adjutant who was standing there like a man.

“Look, adjutant.”

“yes?”

Standing like a stone statue, he flinched and turned his head.

tense face.

“I think we got caught up in trouble. That’s because you’re doing it yourself.”

I guess I’m not the only one who felt the burden of the conversation just now.

The night sky that day was very bright and cold.

Five days later, Task Force Z entered the Indian Ocean.
