Pax Propter Vim [Azur Lane Fanfic]

Chapter 12

Azur Lane fleet heading to the Dutch East Indies, USS Zumwalt.

December 13, 1941.

0300.

Zumwalt, who is in her private quarters, appears to be typing something on her computer. Laffey appeared to be sleeping on her bed, making Zumwalt who saw Laffey sleeping, shake her head.

"I swear, this girl." Zumwalt muttered softly.

Suddenly her VIZ that she put on her computer desk beeped, Zumwalt took and equipped the VIZ. "Here Zumwalt, what's up Enterprise?"

"Reports are coming in from General MacArthur and the rest of ABDACOM, they have secured the Bangka Belitung Islands, we will maintain course for Guam, then sail for Singapore." Enterprise reported.

"Oh? That's a great development! What else?" Zumwalt widened her eyes, this was truly another world. Because back in her world, ABDACOM literally got destroyed in just a few weeks and suffered defeat after defeat.

"Nothing, but there is a possibility of us engaging battle in Guam, there are reports from aircraft based there, they say several Japanese ships have been pacing around there for the past few days." Enterprise said.

"Guam, huh... Well, thanks for letting me know, Enterprise, I'll contact George to do some reconnaissance." Zumwalt said nodding her head.

"Understood, I will prepare some aircraft for CAP around us, I will also send Hornet. Enterprise Out." Zumwalt's communication with the Enterprise was cut off.

Zumwalt immediately contacted George who was on her ship. "George, this is Zumwalt."

"Zumwalt... It's three in the morning... What's wrong?" George seemed to have just woken up, she yawned occasionally.

"We're close to Guam, send some of your Jet Fighters for reconnaissance, the Japanese might attack." Zumwalt said seriously.

"Mhmm... Okay." Zumwalt then looked through one of the cameras on the outside of her ship, she saw seven F-35Cs flying from the deck of the USS George H.W. Bush.

Zumwalt nodded her head once more before finally taking off the VIZ goggles she was wearing and continued to lie next to Laffey. She looked up at the ceiling of her room and imagined what had happened over the past week, it was so incredibly crazy and only existed in a fictional world. Zumwalt thought while stroking the head of Laffey who was still comfortably sleeping.

Zumwalt forced her eyes to close and entered her dream world. If ship can dream.

On the USS George H.W. Bush.

George, who was staying up late on the bridge of her ship, was seen yawning widely before finally drinking coffee from a cup with the words "Weigh Anchor!".

"Goddamn it, if I knew I was going to lose I wouldn't have entered that damn lottery." George grumbled. The lottery George was referring to was the lottery of who would be on watch and who would be able to sleep peacefully, George had gotten unlucky and had to stay up all night because of it.

"Now... Let's see what that Imperial clown is up to." George closed her eyes and focused herself on one of the F-35s she had flown earlier.

George could see a sizable fleet of Japanese ships heading towards Guam, but surprisingly most of the ships in the fleet did not have the same design or shape as the typical Japanese warships. This led George to assume one thing.

"Siren." George muttered. She then quickly contacted Admiral Halsey who was on the USS Enterprise.

"Admiral Halsey, this is George."
