What to do? You’re not serious about this, are you?

I asked her again just in case.

“excuse me… Do you really believe it?”

“Yes, I think that would be enough.”

“Isn’t that a lie? Hey, where in the world is that kind of person?”

“Maybe. No matter how you look at it, it’s strange.”

After answering that firmly, she turned around and blocked the way, then raised her fingers one by one and said,

“Samuel D. Lewis. Served on destroyer Vampire, battlecruiser Queen Mary, battleship Colossus, and battlecruiser Repulse. There is not a single ship among them that has operated aircraft even on a trial basis.”

It’s a story I can’t even remember. No, roughly, the image comes to mind… … .

Anyway, it was the first time I knew that there was no kite and aircraft to this extent.

“In addition, there is no record of having a particular interest in aircraft at the Naval College. The same goes for hearing the testimonies of other motives.”

K. continues to speak.

walk slowly in front of me The sparkling eyes under the short blonde hair are fierce today.

“However, you operated the aircraft carrier freely like a limb. I have never been interested in that field.”

Gulp, I involuntarily swallowed my breath and took a step back.

What do we do? I think you said it wrong. I need to think of a way to get over it… … .

“I have always been interested in aviation. Although not revealed to others… … .”

“Haven’t you heard anything like that from your acquaintances?”

“I went to watch quietly by myself.”

K. narrowing his eyes and bowing his back.

He asked in a suspicious voice.

“… really?”

doesn’t it work? A cold sweat runs down the back of your neck. Consider the following number. Actually, I’ve never really thought about this.

Damn it, turn your head! How can you not think of even one excuse?

… No, there is one thing.

“There is a reason I can’t help but watch it alone.”

“What is it?”

K. folded his arms and shook his head. I swallowed my breath and spoke slowly.

“I had no friends to go with.”

“ah… … .”

Silence crossed the hallway.

After a brief sigh, K shrank. Quietly backing away, she stepped aside from me and bowed her head with pitying eyes.

“Are you done now?”

“are you okay. It can be.”

The movement to pat her on the shoulder quickly passed her.

It’s miserable. Why did you come up with such an excuse? Didn’t you have anything to say? am i sick?

The fact that she agreed and withdrew was the most infuriating thing. Why do you understand this… … .

“Actually, it doesn’t matter whether you believe or not.”

what?

I stopped walking at the absurd remarks behind my back and turned my head.

In the midst of burning eyes, she tilted her head calmly.

“I just scooped it up, so what are you so surprised about? It’s not even important in the first place.”

Soon, he smiled and waved his hand.

I was dumbfounded and just let out a laugh.

Did you just think about it? Shall I try some of that gun?

The tantrum is so intense that it feels like my head is going to explode. Oh damn, if you don’t have eyes to see, you’re going to tie it to a depth charge and throw it into the sea.

Ignoring my glaring eyes, she shrugged her shoulders and continued.

“You said that. Whether it’s a black cat or a white cat, all you have to do is do your job well.”

It’s not what I was told to write.

Irrespective of such circumstances, she walked lightly and patted me on the shoulder as she passed by.

“So let’s work hard. Admiral Samuel Lewis.”

The moment their footsteps crossed, she spoke quietly.

“… Everyone is paying attention.”

what?

When I turned my head, she was already walking down the hallway.

What do you mean?

I shuddered for a moment at the cold voice. It wasn’t like an ordinary joke. I felt that way instinctively.

K. stopped in front of the door leading to the deck.

Turning around quickly, she put her hands together with a face that seemed to have forgotten and asked.

“Ah, but what kind of interrogation did you really do so that the prisoners come out of the restaurant rotten?”

It seemed that there was no need to inform them even for the sake of enhancing national prestige.

Detroit, Michigan, USA.

As it was, it was dawn that the city would soon rise, but the streets full of people were not quiet at all.

“Hoover, give me back my sons!”

“Stop clinging to useless government!”

“The government that serves the vested interests must resign!”

“We are not bullet-making machines!”

A stream crossed by swear words and shouts.Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

People in groups of threes and fives formed a large army and were marching on the asphalt. The police, who had lined up in front of them, also took a step backwards little by little under the pressure of the force.

“Harry! Harry! Where are you!”

Corporal Peter Browder, who had been on vacation for the first time in a while, looked around with a bewildered look. Aside from the noise that stings the ears, the people moving forward with lifeless eyes were fear itself.

The moment they raised their weapons, it immediately occurred to them that no one would be able to stop them.

But Peter wasn’t worried about that. Even though my emotions are raging, I don’t seem to have lost my reason.

In fact, they kept some distance from the police camp. Besides, I had nothing in my hands except for a sign and some flags.

Most of all, most of them were local residents and workers whom Peter had seen since he was a child.

“Harry! Where are you?”

“Here!”

Thanks to this, Peter was able to find his immature younger brother who was buried in the crowd and passed between them calmly.

Some citizens who heard his voice moved out of the way for him to go. Seeing the familiar face full of freckles, Peter immediately grabbed him and pulled him forward, shouting:

“Harry, you idiot! What did you come here for?”

“Brother come in too! It’s a revolution! We’re going to Washington DC!”

Peter blinked at his brother’s absurd words and asked again.

“what? Fool! If you go, who will look at the house?”

“Dad needs to see! Why the hell am I doing that?”

“You say that!”

It was a time when the two brothers were running back and forth between the crowds and squabbling. In an instant, the protesters stopped walking. In the completely changed atmosphere, the brothers unconsciously turned their heads.

“what… ?”

Just as I was about to express my doubts, a sound from the speaker flew across the sky.

“Disband the mob right now!”

A loud voice pounded in my ears. Peter’s eyes widened, and he poked his head out to look ahead. Soldiers in military uniforms lined up between the police, who were divided to the left and right.

“There was a strict federal decree to subdue the rioters by any means should they pass this way. Disband the mob immediately and go home!”

Peter opened his mouth in disbelief. As expected, absurd reactions poured in from all over the place.

“Call us mobs?”

“The government has turned. Damn you bastards!”

“Dismiss them, sons of b*tches!”

Some stood in front of him, waving their fists. But the army of soldiers did not budge.Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Peter, who had been watching them closely, shuddered at the cold sensation. An all-too-familiar atmosphere ran across their faces.

Tak, grabbed his brother by the shoulder and pulled him.

“Harry, come over here right now.”

“Poetry, I hate it!”

“hurry!”

It was the moment when he shouted at his hesitant younger brother.

“All members, bayonets!”

A crackling sound. Peter looked up in disbelief. A bayonet glistening in the sun stabbed him in the eye.

“Harry! run away! hurry!”

Immediately after shouting like a dying voice, gunshots pierced the sky.

Two days later, the White House in Washington, DC.

“How the hell did this happen!”

The sound of hitting the desk pierces the room.Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

President Hoover, in a rare frenzy, snorted, put his hand on his waist and stamped his feet.

It wasn’t just a reprimand. He is easily offended and is far from the style of questioning others.

The reason he was really pointing at the Marshal of the United States was because of the seriousness of the matter.

“Look here, Marshal. When did I ask you to do this? When did I tell that motherf*cker to push the protesters away!”

“Calm down, sir. Let’s sit down and talk.”

“Do I look like I’m calming down? You pushed normal people into the army! Those damn motherf*ckers!”

There was not much that even seasoned Field Marshal Pershing could do in the face of an unprecedentedly excited president. I just waved my hands and hoped he would calm himself down.

Unfortunately, Hoover pointed at him and shouted, as if he had no intention of answering Pershing’s wish for the time being.

“I made him stop the protesters. yes i made it But what I meant was to keep an eye on them and keep their lines, I didn’t mean to bayonet them like you would with some Mexican marauders! That is a crime!”

It was even more problematic because there was nothing to say. A piece of newspaper thrown from the desk rolled in front of the enemy’s soles.

― MacArthur subdues the citizens with a bayonet!

Looking at the black-and-white photos proudly adorning the front door, Pershing barely held back a sigh.

“Damn it, and why are you using tanks for suppression? Do you think the protesters have now dug trenches and fired machine guns? Did Congress give you money to build tanks to crush the people?”

“dismissal! Calm down!”

“MacArthur… Bring MacArthur to me right now!”

In front of Hoover, who was about to lose his temper, even the seasoned marshal turned into a helpless old man.

That’s right, if we don’t stop him now, the United States of America itself will be shaken.

“Haven’t you already contacted me? Please wait patiently.”

“undisturbedly? under! In the eyes of the enemy, look like a situation where I will sit down calmly! This is a national emergency! The military attacking citizens!”

In front of an unmistakable point, the enemy desperately thought of an excuse.

“It’s an accident, sir. It was just an accident.”

“It’s just an accident to you, but not to me!”

Unfortunately, it backfired.

The president, who bit his lip with a disapproving face and looked around, yelled at everyone in sight.

“Those who are like earthworms… It’s all over now!”

He slumps down in his seat and covers his head.

To those around it, it seemed to be in despair. However, he never stopped thinking.

‘If this happens, it may be pulled down before the election. The approval rating will drop sharply. Then you should finish it before it’s too late. Damn it, time is running out anyway! Helpless motherf*ckers!’

There is no more time. You need to change your strategy.

The seasoned politician quickly finished his calculations and stood up. It was a time when even the time to hesitate was a waste.

He pointed at his aide and shouted with burning eyes.

“Call Admiral Frett. I have urgent business to do. And MacArthur told me to come right before me!”

Gibraltar. Z Mobile Fleet flagship ‘Repulse’ conference room.

The cold night sky.

The chief of staff, Colonel John H. Crawford, averted his eyes from the starlight in the window, looked around.

“Let’s start the meeting. Chief of staff, are you ready?”

“Ah, yep!”

The chief of staff flinched.

He hurriedly sat there, answering urgently and handing over the papers.

“What’s wrong?”

“no. sorry.”

“Please pay attention during the meeting.”

The chief of staff slightly bowed his head and instructed to hand over the meeting materials. He tried to avert his eyes from the admiral who identified himself as a man of the future.
