Hello my name is Regele Ferdinand a proud warship of Greater Romania who serve his country very well; right now I'm writing in my ship in the world called Azur Lane after I was scrapped in the year of 1961 after my country become a puppet state of the Soviet Union after World War 2. The Allies didn't bother to help us when we ask for help, but they decide to help Greece and we have no choice but to bow to our communist overlords. We have a Golden Age after the Great War until we got pressure by both major players like Germany and Soviet Union into giving up our territories so we can stay peaceful, but the territory loss have made the Royalty weak and cause an uprising of Nationalist forces inside Romania. The Iron Guard have taken over after the King appointed his son before he was ousted by the Nationalist forces and turn his son into a figurehead while they make Romania stronger, but it came with a prize of joining the Axis against the Allies including Soviet Union. I was deploy to the Black Sea as a escort ships and taking out USSR submarines and protect our ports from enemy attacks. Things are looking great for us until at the late year of the war when the Soviet Union is making a push back which cause use to change our alliance against the Axis forces. You know the old saying goes; we're allies, but we're never friends in the beginning. Only thing we care about is the survival of Romania, but we know the consequence when we switch sides when the USSR refuse to leave our country after the war and start installing Communist system in place of the country which cause our king to leave the country. Me and the rest of my brothers was transfer to the Russian Black Sea Fleet until at the end of the war, but have to switch names that isn't mine as a reminder that Monarchy is dead. I have serve my Fatherland well by helping our brothers that is trapped in Crimea against the surrounding Soviet forces, but I took sever hits by enemy planes and coastal guns that is firing at me which result of my bridge been destroyed and also live bomb trap at my fuel line while it's leaking out. I barely escape until I went out of fuel, but I was saved by my brothers and tow me to the nearest port, but I didn't have time to serve my Fatherland again because once I'm out of the port; we change side and handed over to the Soviet Union. That's pretty much the end of the line for me and was scrapped. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
World of Azur Lane, Pacific Ocean
That was the end of me over at that world and now I'm here in this new world to see that I can return to Romania, but it's going to be awhile since looks like I'm in the Pacific Ocean for some reason, but as long the war is over then they don't mind me of exploring for a while. I finish writing my diary in my office and grab my cane before I head out. The cane is useful since my body is still effect by the damage cause by the Soviets which I still feel anger against them, but also toward the Germans since they didn't offer anything for us while we supply them with our own oil and supplies, but nothing to exchange. I open to the outside world and feel the cool breeze that is blown into my face.
Regele(happy): "That felt nice."
I have a chair on the deck so I can enjoy the view while I find a way back home and enjoy the culture of Great Romania, but the question is; Do they exist in this world? If not then; what I should do? Since I know I'm in the Pacific Ocean then Japan will be a good place since our countries are good allies toward each other. I continue to explore the Pacific Ocean until I notice a carrier at the distance which I grab my scope out and hope to be a friendly ship. I notice a girl standing on the flight deck with a long ponytail and I can see that she is holding a katana just like the ones Japanese officers use during the war.

I decide to give her a flash from my spotlight to signal her that I'm friendly and she notice me from the distance before she use her spotlight to signal me to get closer which I did, but she was on guard since she notice me been male.
???: "Are you male?"
Regele: "That's a strange question, but yes. Name Regele Ferdinand and you are?"
???: "IJN Zuikaku. A carrier of the Sakura Empire."
IJN is the same for Japanese Navy so that means I found a friendly unit which I'm happy to find.
Regele: "I"m from Romania in Europe."
She was confuse of my nation and told me that Romania doesn't exist, but when she give me a map of the world to see that my country is under Iron Blood control which means that it's under control of Germany which make my blood boil, but at least I'm with Japan right now. I trust them more then other allies we have due to our cordial relationship.
Regele: "I hope I don't mind come with you for the ride."
Zuikaku: "Sure, but we're going to war just let you know."
Regele: "Than allow me to help you since I got no place to go."
Zuikaku nod and we both head out to my first mission.
