Azur Lane: Anchors Aweigh

CHAPTER 79: Bochi the Rock

July 12, 192

Enterprise Office, Azur Lane Main Building

8:00 AM

At Enterprise Office, Cmdr. Shin is standing in front of her office table, as he was called in presence by Enterprise-80 at her Office.

Cmdr. Shin spoke. "Why did you call my presence?"

"I called you in presence, because the only time we could have a conversation, about your performance as a Commander of the 'NEW' Sakura Empire."

"Then why, why not just call my execution back then so that you don't have any problems with my performance to 'your' new Sakura Empire." He said with slight anger in his voice.

"I didn't call off your execution because I thought of you as a puppet. I let you still have the rank of the Commander because I want you to guide the new Naval Officers of the Empire." Enterprise-80 said.

Enterprise-80 at her bombing streak that killed most of the experienced Commanders from her bombing. Only a few of the remaining face the court trials, Cmdr. Shin is the only Commander with experience left at the Empire.

Most of the new Commanders of the Empire are bunch of rookies and inexperience with it comes to combat and leadership. The restructure of the Empire's Military is also similar to JSDF.

Musashi still holds the Flagship status even though she tries to resign. And what happens to Carrier Division 1 is somewhat lacking in information after the Court Trial. Kaga lost her Kansen Powers and held in house arrest for months in Foxes Mansion where she and her Sister resides. She spends the day there lonely and depressed.

Akagi defended her Hal-Sister from receiving harsh punishment as hers, she begged for her to not punished her same as hers. The Judge deemed not convince at her defense so they decided to put her in house arrest for rest of her life as punishment.

Akagi was sent to Guantanamo Bay for information extraction about the deals she made with the Elite-Sirens. Her Kansen Powers were also confiscated for her punishment and sentence. She's alone at Guantanamo Bay as Odin was there for the same thing she was there, information gathering.

Their last known location is still hidden for maximum security if any of the Spies or operatives tries to help them escape the maximum prison they were held at.

"I called you here at my office to grant you a permission as a Commander to conduct patrols outside Sakura Empire, held territorial waters."

Bunker Hill-76 gave him a file that contain the documents and permission that was granted at him.

Enterprise-80 spoke with concern at her voice. "This is only your single chance as a Commander. Don't waste it."

Cmdr. Shin knew what she's implying with that word. He knew if he betrays Azur Lane's trust especially hers. She's the one who saved his life and rank, if he betrays her trust he will lose all of it along his life and rank in a blink of an eye.

"Yes, Ma'am." He said, as he forced himself to said those words while holding off his emotions.

As a prideful man kneeling down and following order with a foreign Leader is a thing he hates the most. But she's different. Her order is absolute and no one complains.

She's maybe kind with it comes to others, but behind that kindness is a monster. A monster to her enemies and foes. Being on her bad side is like signing their own, death warrant and more of a suicidal one.
