"Admiral Nobunaga, if you don't mind, come for a walk with this old man!" Nagata Nobunaga invited with a smile.

"Extremely willing"

Then, Nagata Nobunaga led Mikami Hiroyu around the naval base, of course, with his ship girl following behind him.

Seeing that Marshal Nagata was saying some unimportant things, Mikami Hiroyu knew that this was just a prelude, and he believed that the marshal would soon reveal his intentions!

Sure enough, Marshal Nagata stopped in front of a huge map when he led Mikami Hiroyu to it. Mikami Hiroyu discovered that the map was enormous, encompassing the entire world. Although most of it was occupied by the deep sea, human territory consisted of only a small portion of ocean space, aside from land. It seemed that even a considerable amount of land was also occupied by the deep sea.

Mikami Hiroyu stood before the map, studying it intently. Although he didn't yet know Marshal Nagata's intentions in bringing him here, this was Mikami Hiroyu's first real opportunity to witness the power of the deep sea. He knew every naval base on the map clearly, including how many sea areas each base had conquered. Mikami Hiroyu quickly located his Maizuru Naval Base on the map, which showed that he had already conquered sea area 1-1.

It seems this map will be updated frequently, Yu Shenhao thought to himself as he looked at the information on the map.

Chapter 85 The 11-Year-Old Admiral

Nagata Nobunaga sat to the side without disturbing Mikami Hiroyu, instead looking at him with an amused expression.

Yu Shenhao had a strong memory and quickly memorized the information on the map, checking three times to make sure he wasn't mistaken. After confirming several times that he wasn't mistaken, he noticed that Marshal Nagata was sitting to the side, looking at him with an amused expression.

"What's wrong with Marshal Nagata? Why are you looking at me like that? It feels so strange." Mikami Hiroyu also sat down.

"Have you memorized the information on the map?" Nagata Nobunaga asked casually, picking up a cup of tea from the table.

"I remember... no, I don't remember," Mikami Hiroyu subconsciously began, following Nagata Nobunaga's words, but realizing his mistake, he immediately corrected himself. He couldn't guarantee how effective it would be.

"I'll pretend you didn't remember! Admiral Nobunaga, what are your thoughts on the Deep Sea?" Nagata Nobunaga said with a smile after taking a sip of tea.

Yamato, who had been standing behind Mikami Hiroyu, stepped forward, gracefully poured Mikami Hiroyu a cup of tea, and then stood behind him again.

Mikami Hiroyu picked up the tea that Yamato had poured and said, seemingly confused, "Governor, I'm just an 11-year-old admiral who's only been in office for less than a week. Even the naval base is in ruins. And you're asking me such a profound question? You seem to have asked the wrong person!"

Yu Shen Haoyu knew what the marshal wanted to do, although Yu Shen Haoyu's goals were similar to the marshal's. But if he didn't get something in return, he would be doing himself a disservice.

Yu Shen Haoyu was forced into this situation; his family were all major resource consumers. The governor's generosity—giving him an extra 2 resources on top of the rewards for areas 1-2 and 1-3—was tempting. This was the governor, the world's only marshal, a man with unimaginable resources at his disposal. Yu Shen Haoyu wouldn't sleep soundly until he got something out of this marshal.

Yu Shen Haoyu found himself in a different world. In his previous world, he had never had to worry about basic necessities. He could grow up peacefully, go to school, collect Clow Cards, and even have time to play.

Upon arriving in this world, he has been constantly busy. He has to solve the problems of accommodation, resource issues for his fleet, and the threats from the deep sea. Moreover, he is not entirely at ease with the humans behind him.

Iowa, Taihou, and Yamato all knew their admiral was feigning ignorance, his real aim being to obtain resources. They all automatically ignored Mikami Hiroyu, who was now acting somewhat like a businessman, as it was simply too beneath him. Only Yamato Ayumu felt that Mikami Hiroyu's behavior was beneath him; in Yamato's eyes, whatever Mikami Hiroyu did was perfect and correct. Not to mention that Mikami Hiroyu was doing this, acting like a businessman despite his admiral status, for their sake.

"Although you're just an 11-year-old admiral, and have only been in office for less than a week, you've accomplished in a week what others would take a year, two years, or even longer to achieve." After hearing Mikami Hiroyu's words, Nagata Nobunaga knew Mikami Hiroyu's purpose: he simply wanted some resources! It would be strange if a man over 70 years old didn't understand what Mikami Hiroyu was thinking. However, Nagata Nobunaga didn't expose him; teasing this lucky child was quite amusing.

"Since that's the case, then I'll give you a general overview of the deep sea situation in my Maizuru Naval Base." Mikami Hiroyu wasn't stupid; he knew that if he reported his plan to conquer sea areas 1-1 to 1-3 within a week, it would cause a lot of trouble. However, he was forced into this situation by the availability of resources. If the naval base hadn't been so short of resources, Mikami Hiroyu would never have taken this path.

However, when Yu Shen Haoyu made up his mind to quickly conquer Sea Areas 1-2 and 1-3, he had already made preparations. Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry to deal with this Marshal. As long as he had absolute strength, why would he be afraid of someone stuck in Sea Area 2-1? Since you've brought this up, I'll just tell you about my situation, Wu He.

Mikami Hiroyu finished his tea in one gulp and set the cup down. Yamato refilled the cup and then stood behind Mikami Hiroyu again, everything so natural.

"My Maizuru Naval Base is still in ruins. The 600 resources I received from the Naval Admiral's School are far from enough to support the battleship Iowa and the armored carrier Taihou. Those 600 resources don't even seem enough for a single meal. Plus, I don't even have a destroyer."

"Wait, you said you don't even have many destroyers?" Nagata Nobunaga quickly interrupted Mikami Hiroyu and asked.

"Yes, the Naval Admiral Academy only gave me 600 resources, a letter of appointment to Maizuru Naval Base, a map of the 1-1 sea area, and then, including my admiral's uniform, they sent me to the still-ruins Maizuru Naval Base."

After hearing what Mikami Hiroyu said, Nagata Nobunaga finally understood why. Mikami Hiroyu had become an admiral at the age of 11, and in the strategically important Maizuru Naval Base at that. They were probably using this kid as cannon fodder! Nagata Nobunaga had also heard that there were many shady dealings at the Naval Admiral Academy, but he had taken it as a joke and hadn't taken it seriously.

"Wait a moment, I'll be right back," Nagata Nobunaga said, standing up.

"Please go ahead."

As soon as Nagata Nobunaga went out, he waved his hand, and a person immediately knelt down in front of him.

Did you hear what I just said?

"I heard that. Go and verify the truth of what you said right away."

After saying "I understand," the person immediately disappeared.

Looking at the distant sky, Nagata Nobunaga thought to himself, "Is the Naval Admiral Academy really corrupt?"

Nagata Nobunaga stared blankly for a moment, then remembered that he seemed to have guests, and shook his head, saying, "I'm getting old, I'm getting old."

“Go on,” Nagata Nobunaga said, sitting down.

"Where was I?" Yu Shen Haoyu seemed to have forgotten where he was talking and asked.

“You’re saying you don’t even have a destroyer?” Nagata Nobunaga added with a smile to Mikami Hiroyu.

"Yes, I mentioned that I don't even have a destroyer. As you know, Marshal, a destroyer is the guarantee of a naval base's resources."

Nagata Nobunaga nodded, agreeing with Mikami Hiroyu's words.

"Back then, with nowhere else to turn, I could only set my sights on the Abyss. Fortunately, Iowa and Taihou didn't disappoint me, quickly conquering areas 1-1 to 1-3. Now, my goal is to collect the resources from areas 1-2 and 1-3. The achievements in area 1-3 will allow me to be promoted to captain, and the monthly supplies should be enough to sustain my daily life. After building destroyers capable of long-range expeditions and leveling them up, I'll then conquer area 1-4. That's my plan for conquering the Abyss. What do you think, Marshal?"

A few drops of cold sweat appeared on Nagata Nobunaga's forehead.

(Requesting flowers, rewards, favorites, and monthly tickets).

Chapter 86 Resources

After hearing Mikami Hiroyu's plan, Nagata Nobunaga broke out in a cold sweat and crossed his forehead.

Although Nagata Nobunaga had anticipated that Admiral Mikami Hiroyu would be perfunctory, he hadn't expected it to be so obvious! But Mikami Hiroyu was right; without sufficient resources, everything was just empty talk, and Nagata Nobunaga couldn't find any fault with Mikami Hiroyu's words.

Nagata Nobunaga asked Mikami Hiroyu to share his views on the entire deep sea, but Mikami Hiroyu only talked about the deep sea near his own Maizuru Naval Base. Nagata Nobunaga had originally intended to tease the young admiral, but he was instead frustrated by Mikami Hiroyu's plan.

With the battleship Iowa and the armored carrier Taihou, the Mikami Hiroyu fleet shouldn't have too much trouble passing through sea areas 1-4. However, in the airspace above Mikami Hiroyu, there are always obstacles. But all problems can be solved by two things – resources. Ultimately, it's a matter of resources.

Nagata Nobunaga suppressed the urge to knock Mikami Hiroyu's head and tapped the table with his fingers, lost in thought. Mikami Hiroyu wasn't in a hurry either. Getting resources from here would be ideal, but even if he didn't, he'd still get 2 resources for free, so it wasn't a loss.

When Yamato poured tea for Mikami Hiroyu again, Nagata Nobunaga spoke.

"If you have sufficient resources, how long would it take you to conquer areas 1-4?"

"Give me enough resources, and I can conquer the 2-1 sea area within 10 days!" Yu Shen Haoyu said immediately upon hearing that the marshal was going to give him a lot of resources! After saying that, Yu Shen Haoyu noticed a playful smile on the marshal's face and knew that he had been tricked and fallen into a trap called "abundant resources".

"Old foxes are indeed shrewd; I was too young." But he hadn't lost anything, and it was better that way; these things were bound to be known sooner or later anyway. Thinking this, Yu Shen Haoyu immediately calmed down and continued drinking his tea as if nothing had happened.

長田信長虽然知道御神浩宇可以快速的攻略掉1-4海域，但是没想到这位11岁的小提督。居然说他在10天之内就可以攻略掉，让无数提督止步的1-4海域。原本長田信長还想御神浩宇的舰队，在2个月时间里攻略掉1-4海域都算是快的了，但是没想到这位小希提督说10天就可以，想必他还有什么底牌没有拿出来。

長田信長有点好奇了，究竟是什么样的底牌让他可以在10天的时间里攻略掉1-4海域，仅凭一个70级战列舰衣阿华和20级的大凤想要在10天时间攻略1-4海域是不可能的。

As Nagata Nobunaga pondered what trump cards Mikami Hiroyu might have up his sleeve, Mikami Hiroyu sipped his tea. Iowa, Taihou, and Yamato stood quietly behind Mikami Hiroyu, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

This scene didn't last long; a knock on the door broke the silence.

"I'll go for a bit," Nobunaga Nagata said, standing up.

"Please go ahead."

Nagata Nobunaga smiled, then walked over and went outside.

"Have you found anything?" Nagata Nobunaga asked.

The person handed Nagata Nobunaga a slip of paper and then disappeared. Nagata Nobunaga unfolded the paper and examined it carefully. Gradually, Nagata Nobunaga's grip on the playing card tightened, and when he finished reading it, he tore the paper apart.

What enraged Nagata Nobunaga was the information on the paper: Mikami Hiroyu, an orphan, was discovered in an orphanage and found to possess a soul network. He was then enrolled in the Naval Admiral's School and recently assigned by the school's leadership to the Maizuru Naval Base as an admiral with the rank of lieutenant. The school did not assign him a starting ship to accompany him.

After seeing this information, Nagata Nobunaga really wanted to take Mikami Hiroyu to the Naval Admiral Academy to ask the principal how he could assign an 11-year-old child to the strategically important military location of Maizuru without even providing him with a starting ship. However, Nagata Nobunaga knew that as the governor-general, he could only manage the incumbent admiral and had no right to criticize the Naval Admiral Academy.

It's a wonder that child survived, and now she even has Iowa and Taihou, two ship girls that countless people dream of. What kind of expression would the Naval Admiral Academy have if they knew?

When Nagata Nobunaga re-entered the room, Mikami Hiroyu noticed that the governor, who had been full of energy just moments before, seemed to have aged more than 10 years in an instant.

"Marshal, are you alright?"

"It's alright, it's alright. By the way, about what you mentioned earlier. I've thought about it, and I can only give you a maximum of 5 resources. That's all I can do. After all, I'm the governor, and I can't just open doors of convenience for you."

When Yu Shenhaoyu heard that the marshal was going to give him a total of 7 resources, he was hugged by Iowa before he could react.

"Admiral, 7 resources!"

Hiroyu Mikami was attacked again by Iowa's biological weapon, making him feel both happy and suffocated. Yamato felt a chill run down her spine when she saw Iowa holding the admiral in her arms. However, realizing her admiral seemed to be calling for help, she immediately rushed forward to rescue him.

"Iowa, didn't I tell you not to do this?" Mikami Hiroyu said, panting.

Yamato patted Mikami Hiroyu's back to help him catch his breath while glaring at Iowa. Taihou, on the other hand, looked enviously at Iowa's chest before glancing at his own.

"Admiral, I'm so happy! I'm so sorry! Please forgive me, Admiral!" Iowa said playfully, sticking out her tongue.

Seeing the interaction among the people present, Nagata Nobunaga's earlier dissatisfaction with the Naval Admiral's School dissipated considerably. He said in a rather ambiguous tone, "Youth is truly wonderful!"

Once Yu Shen Haoyu had recovered, he asked, "Marshal, why did you give me so many resources?"

"It's nothing, just compensation for the unfair treatment you received when you left the Naval Admiral School. Why do you think it's not enough?"

"How could that be? There are too many," Yu Shenhaoyu quickly waved his hand.

"Too much? Then I'll give you less, 3 will do!"

"Not at all! Not at all, Marshal, I was just kidding." Yu Shen Haoyu wouldn't dare joke about tens of thousands of resources.

"Alright, I said I'd give you 7, and I will. I have that much integrity. By the way, didn't you say you didn't have a destroyer?" Nagata Nobunaga said with a smile, as if he had remembered something.

"Yes, our naval base is in dire need of destroyers. How about the Marshal assigning me a few?" Yu Shenhao asked hopefully, as destroyers were extremely important to him.

"I do have a destroyer here that doesn't have an admiral, but..."

"But what?"

"However, the number of admirals rejected by this destroyer is not much different from the number of admirals rejected by your Iowa. She is only here as a guest. Let's see if you have the ability to get her to join your naval base."

"Is that so?" Yu Shenhao asked curiously.

Chapter 87 Admiral's Exercise Competition

“Of course it’s true. Would a governor like me lie to a novice admiral like you?” Nagata Nobunaga said with a smile.

"No, no, how could the Governor-General lie to a rookie admiral like me? But isn't a destroyer quite common? You're saying that the number of admirals that destroyer rejected isn't much different from the number of admirals your Iowa rejected?"

Yu Shen Haoyu was a little confused. He figured he was probably the only one in the world who could use such a bizarre formula to build high-level and rare ship girls. Other admirals who wanted to build high-level and rare ship girls could only rely on the large-scale construction formula and gamble. If they were lucky, they would get them; if they were unlucky, they would only get destroyers.

If that's the case, destroyers shouldn't be that rare, so why would the governor say that the number of admirals rejected by destroyers is not much different from the number of admirals rejected by your Iowa? Mikami Hiroyu was a little confused.

"You'll know when you meet her; I'll keep it a secret for now," Nagata Nobunaga said mysteriously.

Not only was Mikami Hiroyu curious, but even Iowa and Taihou were a little curious. Especially Iowa, who had rejected countless admirals, and what Marshal Nagata said didn't seem like a lie. So who could possibly have rejected nearly as many admirals as Iowa? Iowa's curiosity burned fiercely.

"Isn't that destroyer at home?"

"She's gone out to play, and she should be back soon. You'll see her when she returns. Then we'll see how you get her to join your naval base. By the way, her requirements are quite high. Although I don't know how you got Iowa to join your base, getting that destroyer to join shouldn't be so simple, considering one is a battleship and the other a destroyer. By the way, it's still early, so come with me!"

"Respect is not as good as obedience."

Hiroyu Mikami was pondering how to get the destroyer the governor had mentioned to join his fleet. He didn't know the governor's method for getting Iowa to join, since Iowa had volunteered in the first place—something he couldn't reveal. So, how could he lure this elementary school student—no, how could he get her to join his fleet? While Mikami was contemplating this question, he overheard the governor saying he would take him on a tour of the naval headquarters, and Mikami readily agreed.

Thus, the group of five, led by the governor with Mikami Hiroyu following behind and the ship girls trailing behind him, began to tour the naval headquarters.

Although the governor kept talking nonstop, Mikami Hiroyu didn't hear a word. His mind was completely occupied with how to get that destroyer added to his Maizuru Naval Base. There was no way around it; Mikami Hiroyu had an extreme interest in destroyers—an interest, not a sexual one, of course, otherwise the governor would have contacted the military police.

However, when the governor mentioned the word "resources," Yu Shenhaoyu immediately snapped back to reality from the destroyer, since the allure of resources was greater than that of destroyers.

"Admiral Haoyu, are you familiar with the annual Admiral Performance Competition?"

"Governor, are you referring to that annual Admiral Performance Competition?" Mikami Hiroyu asked, somewhat uncertainly.

"Yes, it's that Admiral's Duel Contest. Don't you have any ideas? The prizes for this year's contest seem to have increased quite a bit!" Nagata Nobunaga said in a tone that sounded like a strange uncle.

From the message Gaia left him, Yu Shen Haoyu learned about the Admiral's Drill Tournament, an annual competition. Participants must be both an Admiral and a ship girl; neither can be missing. The requirements for participating Admirals are quite high; they must be at least a Lieutenant Commander. This means they must have completed at least Sea Areas 1-3 to participate. While the requirements for Admirals are high, the requirements for participating ship girls are less stringent. Destroyers, light cruisers, heavy cruisers, battleships, aircraft carriers, and even support ships can participate—in short, any ship girl can participate.

Since it's a competition, there will be prizes. Third place receives 5 resources, second place receives 8 resources, and first place receives 15 resources. Such a large amount of resources is irresistible to any admiral. Every year, all admirals with the rank of captain or higher participate in this admiral competition, bringing their strongest ship girls from their fleets.

Initially, the admiral's competition was intended to showcase the power of ship girls to the general public. Firstly, it aimed to boost the courage and confidence of less capable admirals in fighting against the Abyssal Fleet. Secondly, it aimed to instill confidence in the admirals and ship girls in the general public, fostering trust in the government. Gradually, it evolved into its current form.

"You mean the prizes for this year's Admiral Performance Competition will be increased?" Yu Shenhao asked, somewhat skeptical.

“Yes, how could I, a governor, not be credible to say such a thing?” Nagata Nobunaga said, feigning anger.

"No, I have never doubted the Governor's words," Mikami Hiroyu quickly explained.

"So, are you going to participate or not? Your rank is high enough, but if it's just Iowa and Taifeng, won't that...?"

Yuuyu was also a little worried about this problem. Although there was Yamato, whom the governor had overlooked, even with Yamato, there were only three people left. They were still three short of forming a complete fleet. At this moment, Iowa's voice came through the soul network.
