The New Commander

Chapter 4

2 MARCH 20XX

Office

As a result of the physiology session, Nimitz resumed his task assigned to Hiryuu and Soryuu. "Commander, congratulations on returning to duty," said Soryuu. "I'm back," said Nimitz, who was still walking with a cane. "Commander, sir there are some reports, which, seen as soon as possible," said Soryuu. "Oh, remember you want to serve sake for my return," Nimitz said. Then he took his seat in his chair. Soryuu and Hiryuu laughed at Nimitz's joke.

"Maybe, later, we can have a drink, together in our cafe," said Hiryuu. "So, what did I miss?" Nimitz asked. "Sir, I received a call from Naval Base in San Diego," said Soryuu. Nimitz checked his e-mail on his computer. An e-mail was sent by his superiors, about an IB agreeing to join Azur Lane, and now, Main Force IB is in san Diego. "Well, we can't expect this to happen," Nimitz said. "Hiryuu, send HMS Ark Royal and some escorts to escort the Bismarck Fleet. Oh, send Hood on this mission," Nimitz said.

"Sir, are you, sir, aware, that Hood was killed by Bismarck, and Ark Royal ruined Bismarck's rudder. And you want to send them both to see Bismarck?" Soryuu asked. "Well, that's the past. I can't let them fight because of that. For me, this is for them to repair their relationship," said Nimitz. Simultaneously, Hood and Ark Royal enter the office. "We don't agree on this!" said Ark Royal.

"Give me 100 reasons, why can't I send you two to accompany Bismarck? If 100 is not enough, shut up and follow the instructions of Ark Royal! You fricking lolicon," Nimitz said. "I'm not really ready to meet Bismarck, sir," said Hood. "I understand, Soryuu also said the same thing. But my actions are based on what I once did. For example, Yorktown and Hiryuu. They fought during the Battle of Midway in 1942. I put them together, and look, they were good friends," Nimitz said.

"All right, I believe it," Hood said. "Soryuu, Bismarck's fleet signal, their escort is the Royal Navy," Nimitz said. "Good commander !!" replied Soryuu. "Their journey will probably take a week or so," Ark Royal said. "We can't allow, Siren to disturb their journey, understand? !!" said Nimitz. "Understand Commander !!" said those in the room. Nimitz, then played a song from the jukebox that was in the room. Katyusha's song became her heart's choice. Songs from the Alexandrov Ensemble, echoed in the office.

Then, Enterprise and Hornet walk into the office. "I don't think you're interested in Soviet songs," Hornet said. "Do you know this song?" Nimitz asked, he was a little surprised. "We used to, Northern Parliament put on this song during a convoy there," Hornet said. "Where did you get it?" Enterprise asked. "From a friend while at the academy. Commander Nikolay Kuznetsov," Nimitz said. The melody of the song is really touching. "Расцветали яблони и груши, Поплыли туманы над рекой, Выходила на берег Катюша, На высокий берег, на крутой, Выходила, песню заводила, Про степного, сизого орла, Про того, которого любила, Про того, чьи письма берегла," Nimitz sang the song in Russian.

"We didn't know you could sing Russian songs," said Hornet. "We used to sing this song when we were in camp. Kuznetsov, teach us to speak Russian," said Nimitz. "Wow, I'm very impressed with your greatness," praised Hornet. "Thank you. So, what do you want to come here for?" Nimitz asked. "I don't have any intentions, I just want to see the commander," said Hornet. "Commander, this is the report you asked for that day!" said Vestal who had just walked into the office. After submitting the report to Nimitz, Vestal wanted to leave, but was stopped by Nimitz.

Nimitz is reading the Enterprise health report. "Everything is ok, but why do you have such low morale? If you don't want to go to war, talk," said Nimitz. "I want to fight sir," said Enterprise. "Ok, I have a mission for you. Supervisors have received reports of involvement, 'Purifier' in the Guam archipelago. Sakura Empire has sent some ships to get there and help us. Enterprise, Hornet, choose your escort ship and sail there as soon as possible," Nimitz said. "Who will lead us?" Enterprise asked. "I'm from here, because we have guests from IronBlood, so I can't go there. Your job is to wreck their convoy and make sure, they can't get any raw materials. The faith of the human race depends on your task group Enterprise. Oh, I'll hook you up with Essex and Shangri-La. Disperse," said Nimitz.
