Chapter 21

Pearl Harbor, 3 OCTOBER 20XX

Office, 0830

Nimitz wound has been treated fairly, as Vestal reprimanded him on not doing heavy work. The Tirpitz and Eugen enters the room. "Hey, Scharnhorst, why are you here? Weren't you supposed to be at the Atlantic now? Have you seen the commander?" ask Tirpitz. She glanced for a while at the figure. "Well, I was here yesterday, alone," said Nimitz. "Since when, you become a man Scharnhorst?" ask Eugen. "Who in the hell is Scharnhorst??!!" said Nimitz, shocking both Eugen and Tirpitz. Both of them take a great look before start to laugh at Nimitz. "Sir!! Is that you??" ask Eugen.

"Yeah, this is me. Now help me with the report," said Nimitz. "What happen?" ask Tirpitz. "While I was sleeping, someone break into my house, tries to kill me, but I caught her before, her knife could have stabbed me," said Nimitz. The, he took off his eyepatch just to show to Eugen and Tirpitz. "Mein gott, that's horrible," said Eugen. "Well, you could say it that way!" said Nimitz.

"Both of get back to work. And Tirpitz, if August Von Parseval has arrived, let me know," said Nimitz, as he put back his eyepatch. "As you wish commander," said Tirpitz. Tirpitz left the room, leaving Nimitz alone with Eugen. "Say commander, do you want me to have adult fun with me?" ask Eugen. "Why don't you leave me alone for a while?" ask Nimitz. "Surely you are no fun commander," said Eugen as she left the office. "Well, that is quite cold from her," said Nimitz alone.

After one hour and a half doing paperwork, he turns his sit watching the harbor using the window before he was disturbed by some girls. "Commander-dono, let's practice dojo," said Takao. "Commander, let's play basketball," said Cleveland. "Commander, let's open a singing contest," said San Diego. He takes a deep breath, before looking at the three girls in front of him. "First of all, the idea of the singing contest. I going to reject it due we at war with Royal Navy, Northern Parliament, and Sakura Empire. About the dojo practice and basketball, I need to recheck my schedule," said Nimitz.

"Wait a minute, you gave them permission, and not mine!! Fine, I'm head out of the base," said San Diego. "Go ahead and try it. You'll be joining Spence, Aulick and Nelson on the other side," said Nimitz as he gave the idol the warning. "Hereby, I declare, no shipgirls leave the port unless it is necessary or patrol only. If any attempt to leave the harbor without mine, or the secretary permission, will be intercept and will be sank on the spot. I also herby issue Protocol 225," added Nimitz. Literally, San Diego is very unsatisfied, with the decision. Then she stormed out of the office.

"So, let's have some training Takao," said Nimitz. However, as he turned around his seat, Takao and Cleveland are shocked. "Sir??!! Is that you?? What happen?" ask both of them. "Well, it's a long story," said Nimitz. Then the office was barged in by 4 girls. Vestal, Sheffield, Belfast, and Akatsuki. "Lady Takao and Lady Cleveland. I wish to speak with the commander privately," said Akatsuki. "Very well," said Takao, then she pulled Cleveland out of the office.

"So, what is the situation from the Empire, Akatsuki?" ask Nimitz. "From what I heard, the Uchiha commander was assassinated by somebody. And the new commander is Sarada Hanazaki. She was apart from the Imperial Intelligence Fleet. However, since she is the closet to become the commander, so they picked her," said Akatsuki. "And the navy?" ask Nimitz. "Well, as you anticipated, they have deployed the Hakuryuu and the Shinano with some major retrofit," said Akatsuki. "What are the retrofit?" ask Nimitz. "Well, the flight deck was armored, with 3 meters of steel. Capable of launching new jet pursuit fighters, the Nakajima Kikka," said Akatsuki.

"Sir, this is the report on the capture enemy spy," said Sheffield. Nimitz read the report, before looking at the four of them. "IJN Shimakaze. Top speed: unknown. Weapon carries: Kunai and a Nambu gun," said Nimitz. "Where is this gun?" ask Nimitz. "Here it is sir," said Belfast, as she unfolds a handkerchief, inside the handkerchief holds the gun. "I see. Is the spy awake Vestal?" ask Nimitz. "Apparently not, due to she receives three shots from a gun. However, I do say that this evening, she will wake up," said Vestal. "Very good. Put this on her neck," said Nimitz, as he takes out an electronic collar.
