The Return of Tanya Von Degurechaff

Ch-2 Tanya Von Degurechaff

No one's POV

Timeline: Three days prior to Tanya's arrival.

"What is it, General Rerugen ?" A female voice was heard as Tanya was seen setting some documents in her office.

"We have decided to repost you somewhere else. After the destruction that aired during the Great Siren Invasion and our difficulties in the First World War, we have decided that there is no better person for such a job that you." Erich explained but Tanya didn't even bother to turn around and look at him.

Instead, she walked past him and placed the documents in their files. "Is that right ? And where am I getting posted to, exactly ?"

"The main naval base. After countless losses against the sirens, and the several good soldiers that have perished under this post, we simply cannot afford to lose any longer." He explained.

"General Degurechaff. You are to become the fleet admiral of our naval forces and lead us to victory against the siren, just like you did in 1926." He said, referring to the first invasion the siren had launched against humanity, which resulted in half the population getting wiped out.

It was this invasion that led to a unity between all nations. However, it seems that they have broken apart again and become two major powers. Azur Lane and Crimson Axis.

"So you wish for me to take control over the battlefield beyond oceanic borders as well ?" She asked him calmly.

"Yes. This a mutually accepted decision by the entire government. I see no one else more capable to handle this task then you." Tanya sighed and put her files down. She then turned towards her fellow general with a serious face.

"Then when do I leave ?"

"Tomorrow. You will become the admiral three days from now. It will take a day to reach that place, so get ready soon and have a good rest. You will be assigned a personal assistant as well." He brought out a photograph of an older woman with long light brown hair and big blue eyes. She seemed to be in her early forties, but despite that, she was extremely beautiful.

"Who's that ?" Erich fell on his face when he heard the cluelessness in Tanya's voice.

"G-general! Don't tell me you don't recognise her?!" Tanya tilted her head in confusion as Erich sighed.

"She used to be your right hand remember ? She's been your assistant for ten years before leaving for the navy in 1926. This is former Lieutenant, Viktoriya Ivanovna Serebryakov." Tanya stared at him quietly, blinking a few times as the sound of glass shattering was heard somewhere in the distance.

"What?!!" The next second, the photo was snatched out of Erich's hand as Tanya stared straight into it. She looked at him and back at the picture multiple times as her usually calm face is nowhere to be seen.

She then looked at Erich with a look of shock and pointed at Visha's photo. "This is her?!! She looks entirely different from before!"

Erich then realised that she didn't recognise Visha because of how much she had changed. It was true. Viktoriya looked much more mature and beautiful than before. Some woulf say she looked nothing like her old self.

"Yes... that is her."

Tanya stared at him incredulously as an image of Visha from her time in the Eleventh Aeriel Battalion popped up in her mind. To think that she changed this much...

Several ships began to gather in the made hall as they heard the news of a new admiral. Many were not that enthusiastic about it considering how many have already died from their side. Honestly, many ships didn't think this new admiral would be that big of a deal and would probably die very quickly.
