This story is about my favorite country known as Romania and her flagship NMS Regele Ferdinand who serve during World War 2. A country where patriot warship who sacrifice himself during the Battle of Sevastopol to joined the enemy fleet and to be sc...
I head to my ship after some of the female kansens saw someone enter my ship which I decide to investigate of who is going on board of my ship without my permission unless it requires works so I head to my ship and I can hear footsteps echoing through the hall. I walk through the hall and see if I can find someone infiltrate my ship; I continue to explore the hall until I notice Takao's sister staring at the portrait of Ion Antonescu the prime minister of Romania.

???: "I wonder who this person; he said that he isn't Iron Blood, but he have someone wearing same outfit as them."
Note: "She is looking at the same picture as the introduction portrait."
I approach her and answer her question.
Regele: "That's Ion Antonescu the prime minister of Romania."
That spook her before she notice me.
???(scare): "You scare me; don't walk behind a woman behind her back."
Regele: "What are you doing in here?"
???: "I was checking out your ship since I was order by Lady Nagato to investigate you."
Regele: "You know; you can ask me questions since I was with your sister at the time."
???: "You meet Takao and how do you know that we're both sisters?"
I stare at her outfit and those dog ears; plus she is almost similar to Takao so I assume that their sisters, but I sense she's more dangerous then her sister, but I do like their outfit, but I prefer black than white. She notice me staring at her and cause her to blush.
???(blush): "Please don't stare at me too much otherwise people will have it wrong idea and I'm Atago."
Regele: "NMS Regele Ferdinand and don't worry about it."
She want to know more about our prime minister which depends on who is talking to you; some call him a war hero while others called him a war criminal due to his involvement with the Holocaust. Ion Antonescu was one of our best generals during the Great War and become a prime minister who was handed picked by the previous king of Romania because their friends, but Ion Antonescu take things into his own hand and exile the king before putting his son as a figurehead while he fix the country up which I kind of agree to him since the previous king didn't help the country while we lost our land. We lost our north territory to the Russians, lost our western territory by the Hungarians, and we lost our southern territory by the Bulgarians so the support of the previous king drop since he can't do anything about it so Ion decide to take things to his own hand and joined forces with Germany, but we're ain't friends.
Atago: "You people are allies, but why do you hate them?"
Regele: "Because their the main reason of why we got drag into this war."
As Ion Antonescu said "Just as you fight for England, so I fight for my country, but you cannot realize the suffering, the struggle, and the threats we under. We were attacked, although we did not attack anyone. What was ours and has been ours for centuries, they took us."
Regele: "He was right though; our people took the beaten, but try to remain peaceful; however not anymore. We're done been on the defense and decide to take the fight against them."
Atago: "Why you choice Iron Blood?"
Regele: "During that time; they're winning on both sides so we thought that we have more successful if we joined sides at Germany, but only temporary until the war is over because we know that they will come after us for our oil and their action against us proofs it."
To be honest; Doesn't matter who wins because they will come after us from both sides if one side wins so is a lose-lose situation for us and once the war come to our door step; Ion Antonescu try his best for peace talks and even shout at Hitler at the table.
Regele: "On the 5th of August; he have a meeting with Adolf Hitler of Germany and give him the "talk."
He said this "Sir, I cannot hold the line, I have nothing left to defend myself with, I cannot stay in this war with you any longer, because I don't have what to fight with. You don't understand that the Allies fleet will enter the Black Sea and from the Black Sea they will take the Balkens, behind my back. What am I supposed to defend myself with? Can't you realize this? You're taking all my forces. I made you so many requests: To give planes to fight the Allies who bombard us day and night, to give us tanks because a huge Russian tanks are coming toward us. What am I supposed to defend myself with? With a small division of tanks? And to give us anti-air."
Regele: "Like I told to those German girls; We offer them everything we have and they give us nothing to return. When the Russians come to our doorsteps; we offer peace deals to the Allies and only one thing they want is this. GIVE US ION ANTONESCU OR WE BURN ROMANIA! Of course we didn't learn that the message came from the Soviet Union so we accept the deal and hand him over to the USSR which Ion accept the execution which he wants to see his executioners face to face with nothing to tie him up with. The trial was controlled by the Communist so you can expect the trial wasn't fair."
I put my sword down and pray for my country of escaping from the chains of the Soviet Union and hope restore to the country. Ion Antonescu did dark things, but so does the others all the name of saving his own country Like Ion say; we would built statues of him if we won the war, but instead he was execute for his loss of the war.
