In other words, in addition to the two deep-sea fleets, Harbor Princess and Little Northern, Maizuru Naval Base has now added several more deep-sea fleets, which greatly helps Mikami Hiroyu's plans.

After giving them an order to rest for the night at the Maizuru Naval Base, Mikami Hiroyu instructed them to go to the Naval Admiral Academy and meet up with the First and Third Attack Units.

While the Enterprise and the others were still at large, Hiroyuki Mikami and Kanae Yanagisawa discussed how they would educate students after taking control of the Naval Admiral Academy, and how they would need to make significant changes to the selection of students. They could no longer simply appoint anyone with a Soul Network as an admiral. From now on, the selection of students would prioritize character assessment, in addition to Soul Network possession. Only those with impeccable character and proven integrity would be allowed to enroll.

The two chatted more and more enthusiastically, and just at midnight, Enterprise returned with Lion, Lexington, and Warspite. Before even opening the door to see Mikami Hiroyuki, their faces were all smiles. Enterprise and the others had originally intended to report the battle results to Mikami Hiroyuki, but when they opened the door and saw Yanagi Kanae chatting intimately with their admiral, their smiles vanished. Then they looked at Yanagi Kanae with the same eyes Yamato and the others had used on her. Lexington was a little better, but she didn't look at Yanagi Kanae; instead, she gazed at Mikami Hiroyuki with very gentle eyes.

Fortunately, Yu Shen Haoyu has dealt with such situations quite a few times. As the saying goes, "Experience makes perfect." Yu Shen Haoyu now handles these situations with great ease; the blood and tears involved are best left unmentioned.

"Enterprise, where are you on your strategy?" Mikami Hiroyu coughed and asked.

"Admiral, we have conquered areas 3 and 4 of this sea area and obtained about 100 million resources! The fleet suffered no damage." When it came to business, Enterprise put away her slightly shy look and seriously reported to Mikami Hiroyu.

"Really? You've worked hard. You can go into the canal first! You can resupply if you need to, and then have a good rest. Our next destination is the Naval Admiral Academy. It's quite a journey."

"Yes, Admiral," Enterprise replied after giving Yanagi Kanae a deep look.

After Enterprise and the others left, Hiroyuki Mikami also said goodbye to Kanae Yanagisawa. After all, it was getting late, and it wouldn't be appropriate to stay with Kanae Yanagisawa any longer.

Because the Linga Port Naval Base was reduced to ruins, Mikami Hiroyu now lay on a flat stone slab, gazing at the starry sky. It was as if he had suddenly returned to the time when he had just left the Naval Academy, traveled alone to Maizuru, and spent his first night there with Iowa. Now, almost a month had passed, and Maizuru had become the world's strongest naval base. Tomorrow, Mikami Hiroyu would take the Enterprise to the Naval Academy to learn more about it.

Just as Yu Shen Haoyu was gazing at the stars and reminiscing about the past, someone slowly approached him.

Normally, Hiroyu would have noticed that person as soon as they appeared, but Hiroyu was reminiscing about the past. Furthermore, the person was very familiar with Hiroyu, so Hiroyu only noticed them when they sat down next to him.

"Lexington, aren't you going to rest? What are you doing here?" Yu Shenhaoyu only noticed someone approaching after Lexington sat down next to him. He turned around and saw that it was Lexington.

Although the Lingabodi Naval Base was reduced to ruins, what can you do when Mikami Hiroyu is a magician? Mikami Hiroyu used the Creation Card to build a temporary room for the Enterprise and the others to rest in.

"Then the Admiral didn't get any rest either?" Lexington asked in a very pleasant voice after settling down next to Mikami Hiroyu.

"Hey! Can't you see I'm resting here? You should go and rest too! We have to travel tomorrow!"

“If the Admiral can rest here, why can’t I, Lexington, rest here?” Lexington replied without backing down an inch.

After saying this to Lexington, Yuu Mikami gave her a deep look before turning his gaze back to the vast starry sky. Having spent quite a bit of time with the ship girls, Yuu Mikami had a considerable understanding of them. Since Lexington said she wanted this place, she wasn't joking with him.

Seeing that Yuu Mikami acknowledged her presence, Lexington sweetly said, "Darling, you're so kind!" Since only Yuu Mikami and Lexington were present, Lexington used this nickname.

--------------

The next day, Mikami Hiroyu and Yanagisawa Kanae led their fleet to their assigned destination: the Naval Admiral's School. Oh, and a guy named Nakanishi Yuichiro was also on the way. Originally, after waking up, Nakanishi Yuichiro had tried to intimidate Yanagisawa Kanae by mentioning the attack on his naval base, saying that if she knew what was good for her, she would let him go, and that she wouldn't pursue the matter if he became her woman. Yanagisawa Kanae completely ignored Nakanishi Yuichiro. If it weren't for the fact that Mikami Hiroyu still had some use for him, Yanagisawa Kanae wouldn't want to see Nakanishi Yuichiro at all.

The previously arrogant Yuichiro Nakanishi underwent a complete 360-degree change in attitude after meeting Enterprise and her team. He didn't even dare to speak in front of them, indicating that Enterprise and her team had taught him a harsh lesson.

To make this guy say something unpleasant and thus affect their admiral's mood, Enterprise knocked Nakanishi Yuichiro unconscious again and handed him over to Fubuki in Yanagisawa Kanae's fleet, who had already recovered.

Before setting sail, Kanae Yanagisawa and her fleet stood on the sea, gazing silently at the ruins of the Linga Port Naval Base. After all, this was the place where Kanae Yanagisawa had fought for a month; it would be strange if she didn't feel anything for it.

However, Kanae Yanagi knew that now was not the time to be sentimental, and if she continued to watch, Hiroyu Mikami would get impatient.

With her final words, "Goodbye, Lingabo Landing Garrison," Kanae Yanagisawa led her fleet to rejoin Hiroyu Mikami.

This is Maizuru Naval Base. The second attack force, with Taihou as its flagship, has also assembled and is heading towards the Naval Admiral Academy.

Chapter 209 Yohei Nishio's Anger

The Naval Admiral's School, as a school for training admirals, is an institution comparable to the Naval Headquarters.

The principal of the Naval Academy, Yohei Nishio, was an admiral, but despite his best efforts, he couldn't advance further in rank. Although he was just one step away from becoming a marshal, that step seemed like an insurmountable chasm. No matter what methods he tried, Yohei Nishio simply couldn't achieve the promotion.

More importantly, Hiroyu Mikami, a graduate of the Naval Admiral Academy, is now an admiral, on par with him, the principal. How could Yohei Nishio, with his extremely strong sense of pride, possibly accept this? Even more importantly, now that Hiroyu Mikami is an admiral, how long will it take before he can overcome the obstacle that has been holding Yohei Nishio back with a knife and become a marshal, a position Yohei Nishio has always dreamed of achieving?

Tonight, as usual, Yohei Nishio was handling this matter in his principal's office. Essentially, it was about wealthy people wanting their children assigned to safe locations. This afternoon, Yuichiro Nakanishi, the son of Yuichiro Nakanishi, who was in charge of assigning students to positions at a naval admiral's academy, lost contact with his (Rabaul) naval base. A similar situation occurred a month ago, when the previous admiral of the current Maizuru naval base was retaliated against by the Abyss, resulting in the deaths of all the ship girls and the admiral in Maizuru.

Some of the students still in school were worried about being assigned to dangerous sea areas in the future, so they contacted their families and asked them to speak to the school, hoping that the school would assign them to places as close as possible to Maizuru Naval Base, since Maizuru Naval Base was currently the safest place.

Originally, Yohei Nishio had entrusted these matters to Yuuji Nakanishi, but after hearing the news that his son might be dead, Yuuji Nakanishi went insane. There was no other way but for Yohei Nishio to handle these matters himself.

Yohei Nishio worked on the documents until 11 PM before finally finishing them. After all, there were many people involved, and even he had to be mindful of the consequences. As for the requests from those with no money or power, he didn't even glance at them and simply threw them away. Yohei Nishio didn't believe that another Mikami Hiroyu would appear in this world; those without money or power were destined only to be pawns.

After finishing his work, Yohei Nishio was about to leave the principal's office to rest when Koki Nakamura, who was in charge of school security, rushed into the principal's office anxiously. Upon seeing Yohei Nishio, she said anxiously, "Principal, oh... something bad has happened!"

"What happened to Nakamura Koki-kun?" Yohei Nishio looked at Nakamura Koki, who had never seemed so anxious, and a sense of foreboding arose in his heart.

"Principal, our school is surrounded by ship girls!" Nakamura Koki said hurriedly after catching her breath.

"Who dares to be so bold as to say this is the Naval Admiral's Academy?" Yohei Nishio said angrily upon hearing that the school was surrounded by ship girls. At first, Yohei Nishio thought it was an attack from the Abyssal Fleet, as the school's current defenses were completely inadequate. However, upon learning that it was surrounded by ship girls, Yohei Nishio's attitude immediately changed.

"Principal, are you sure you want me to say this?" Nakamura Koki hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"What kind of attitude is this? This is the Naval Admiral's Academy. Anyone who dares to surround this place, regardless of who they are, is committing treason and is an enemy of all humanity and all ship girls!" Yohei Nishio was extremely dissatisfied with Nakamura Kouki's attitude and reminded her again that this was the Naval Admiral's Academy. Nishio was now even considering replacing Nakamura Kouki.

"Principal, you should go see for yourself!" Nakamura Koki hesitated for a long time before finally speaking. He wasn't stupid; anyone with a brain knew whose fleets were surrounding the school. According to the news from the Naval Headquarters, the admirals of those two fleets had already conquered the 4-4 sea area, making them marshals. They were one rank higher than Admiral Nishio Yohei. Although Nakamura Koki didn't know why this newly appointed marshal was surrounding the Naval Academy, it was best to remain neutral at this point, avoiding offending either side.

Nakamura Koki's words solidified Nishio Yohei's resolve to replace him. Nishio Yohei snorted, expressing his displeasure, then opened the door and left. He wanted to see which naval commander dared to surround the area. Because he had been working on documents in the principal's office, Nishio Yohei was unaware of the recent news from the main naval headquarters regarding Mikami Hiroyu's strategy for conquering the Maizuru Naval Base in area 4-4. Nishio Yohei never returned from his departure from the principal's office.

On his way to the port, Yohei Nishio discovered that the students, who usually rested long ago, were now gathering there, chatting happily. This infuriated Yohei Nishio, the principal of the Naval Academy. Instead of resisting the enemy, these students were overjoyed at the supposed rebellion.

The closer they got to the port, the more students there were, and the louder their conversations became. Yohei Nishio vaguely heard names like Maizuru, Yamato, and Bismarck. However, Yohei Nishio was currently filled with anger and completely ignored these words.

When the students of the Naval Admiral Academy saw their principal arrive, they quickly made way for Yohei Nishio to reach the port directly.

Upon arriving at the port, Yohei Nishio didn't even glance at Yamato and the others. His first words were: "Which naval base are you from? Who is your admiral? Call him out here. I'm going to revoke his admiral's qualification, and you'll have to strip your ship equipment. Since you dare to oppose the naval admiral, you'll have to pay the price." Yohei Nishio's attitude was extremely arrogant, as if the other party would definitely obey him.

After saying that, Yohei Nishio assumed that the admiral surrounding the school would come forward to apologize and beg him not to revoke his admiral status. Nishio had even planned to simply wait for the admiral to come out and ask him not to revoke his status. He would pretend to agree first, and then announce the revocation of the admiral's qualification.

However, after observing the so-called admiral for a while, no one appeared on the opposite sea. Furthermore, Nishio Yohei noticed that the students around him were looking at him strangely, almost as if he were an idiot.

The students' stares prompted Yohei Nishio, who was already quite angry, to say, "Go back to your schools, and then you'll all be expelled from school tomorrow..." He hadn't even finished saying the word "school."

Yamato emerged from the dark sea, his tone extremely serious, and said, "I reiterate, this entire sea area is now under the control of Maizuru. No one is allowed to enter or leave! Disobeyers will be punished."

After Yamato finished speaking, a loud bang lingered in the sea for a long time.

(This is Chapter 4. Please give me some tips to motivate me to finish Chapter 5!!)

Chapter 210 The Man Abandoned by the World

At the instant the giant cannon exploded, Yohei Nishio clearly saw who the ship girl on the sea was.

If Yohei Nishio didn't know Bismarck and Tirpitz, he would never forget Yamato, Iowa, and Kaga. The earth-shattering power displayed by Iowa and Yamato's cannon shot was still etched in his mind.

"You're not ship girls from Maizuru Naval Base, so why are you surrounding this place? Don't you know that your actions are making enemies of all humanity?" After encouraging himself, Yohei Nishio mustered his courage and said to Yamato.

To be honest, for Nishio Yohei to still speak to Yamato and Iowa like that after witnessing their exchange of blows, even after that exchange, takes courage, although the presence of a large group of students behind him is a factor. If he had remained silent after Yamato's threats, he wouldn't have been able to hold his head high in front of the students.

However, Yamato completely ignored Nishio Yohei's words and returned to the fleet after firing a warning shot. Silence returned to the coast, but the pressure emanating from Yamato and the others made everyone present aware that an extremely terrifying group of ship girls lurked on the unseen sea.

Yamato's disregard felt like a great insult to Nishio Yohei, but after all, he was of the same generation as Nagata Nobunaga. After Yamato disappeared from sight, Nishio Yohei forced himself to swallow his anger and slunk away from the port alone.

Yohei Nishio found a secluded spot to vent his anger. After venting, he calmed down. Now, Hiroyuki Mikami held the same rank as him, making it impossible to suppress him by rank. More importantly, even if he did suppress him by rank, it wouldn't be of much use; the ship girls of Maizuru Naval Base were simply too strong. Although Yohei Nishio didn't want to admit it, the strength of Maizuru Naval Base was indeed the strongest in the world.

Although Yohei Nishio knew that Maizuru Naval Base was powerful, it didn't mean he had lost his fighting spirit. The intentions of Maizuru's ship girls surrounding the school were unknown, and Yohei Nishio didn't believe Maizuru would dare to actually fire. If they did, Maizuru would truly be an enemy of all humanity, just like the Abyss—an enemy that all humanity must eliminate. However, it was still necessary to strengthen the defenses of the Naval Academy. Maizuru Naval Base was very powerful, and the Naval Academy's strength alone was far from sufficient. Therefore, Yohei Nishio made a phone call to the Naval Headquarters.

However, the General Naval Base's response to Yohei Nishio was vague, failing to directly state that it would send a fleet to provide support. They explained that the General Naval Base was currently short-handed, focusing on clearing the remaining deep-sea debris in the area conquered by the Maizuru Naval Base. Other naval bases were also busy. Finally, they instructed the Naval Academy to hold out for two more days; if they could do so, the General Naval Base could spare manpower to support them.

Yohei Nishio originally wanted to call Nobunaga Nagata, but was told that Nobunaga Nagata was seriously ill and needed to rest, and should not be disturbed.

After receiving orders from Nagata Nobunaga, the people at the naval headquarters all sensed that something was amiss.

The Maizuru Naval Base is surrounding the Naval Academy, yet the overall naval base forbids anyone from providing support, not even local naval bases. Anyone who goes to provide support will be expelled from the overall naval base and removed from the admiral's service. This carries significant implications. Anyone with common sense knows that Nagata Nobunaga is siding with Admiral Mikami Hiroyu of the Maizuru Naval Base, who has just been promoted to Fleet Admiral. Since this second Fleet Admiral is interested in your Naval Academy, it means he thinks highly of your school.

Originally, Nagata Nobunaga hadn't explained what happened on the phone, but as astute individuals, the people of the naval headquarters still helped their governor resolve this trouble.

The words from the Naval Headquarters made Yohei Nishio feel uneasy, but he still believed what the Naval Headquarters said, since Nobunaga Nagata would never lie to him.

Since the main naval base couldn't spare any manpower, they had to rely on themselves. In the following days, Yohei Nishio called one by one the more powerful regional naval bases, those who were graduates of the Naval Academy. But either they didn't answer the phone, or they initially agreed to help, but upon hearing it was Maizuru, a series of bizarre excuses emerged—all conveying the same message: they were too busy!

After hanging up the phone, these people sighed: The Naval Admiral Academy is about to change its leadership; the world is about to change.

After making that phone call, Yohei Nishio felt utterly drained, as if all his strength had been used up. He couldn't understand how things had turned out this way! In the blink of an eye, the world seemed to have abandoned him. A profound sense of powerlessness washed over him. However, Yohei Nishio was, after all, an admiral, and had served as the principal of the Naval Academy for over fifty years. Since no one was helping him, he had to rely on himself. He shouldn't forget that he, Yohei Nishio, was also an admiral.

The next day, the port was packed with people, but the order was quite good. Some people, knowing that the ship girls opposite were from Maizuru Naval Base, didn't bother arguing with Yamato and the others' main guns. Some clever people could probably guess what Mikami Hiroyu was up to, but most were there to watch the high-level and rare ship girls that they didn't usually see.

At noon, another fleet arrived on the sea. This fleet was the second attack force, with Taihou as its flagship, which had departed from Maizuru Naval Base that morning. After the second force arrived, it relieved the first and third attack forces, which had been deploying since the previous night. After landing, the ship girls of the first and third attack forces inquired about the housing where their admirals had lived during their school days, and then went there to rest. No one tried to stop them. Anyone who wasn't a caveman knew that Maizuru's admiral, Mikami Hiroyu, was the second marshal in this world, and only Maizuru Naval Base had the capability to conquer the deep seas of this world. Anyone who dared to block the Yamato's path would likely be immediately ganged up on.

The three fleets took turns defending the area. Whether it was due to Maizuru's reputation or the intimidating power of the main cannons at the gate, no one from the Naval Admiral Academy entered or left before Mikami Hiroyu arrived, yet this did not cause any complaints. Then, at 10:00 AM on the third day, Mikami Hiroyu appeared with the newly built Enterprise and Yanagisawa Kanae's fleet, along with the still unconscious Nakanishi Yuichiro.

(Chapter 5, even though it only has 100 points of reward, I'll still write it! Please give me some flowers and rewards to encourage me!)

Chapter 211 The Clown

Li Xiaoxi, along with the Enterprise, Lion, Lexington, Warspite, Kanae Yanagisawa, her fleet, and the unconscious Yuichiro Nakanishi, arrived at the waters near the Naval Academy and reunited with the Yamatos.

After introducing their new members Warspite, Enterprise, Lion, and Lexington to everyone, Li Xiaoxi got down to business.

However, a small accident occurred when Li Xiaoxi led the fleet ashore: a fleet blocked the port.

"You'd better move aside! I don't want to fight." Li Xiaoxi saw that this fleet consisted mainly of destroyers and light cruiser ship girls, but their levels were quite high, and they were blocking the only way to reach the shore. Li Xiaoxi kindly advised them, hoping to resolve the situation peacefully if possible.

"We are acting on the Admiral's orders to keep all those who intend to harm the Naval Admiral Academy and their ship girls out!" The fleet's flagship, the light cruiser Naka, said to Li Xiaoxi without any mercy.

"Admiral, there's no need to say much to them. Just go in. I don't believe a few destroyers can resist us!" Nagato said eagerly.

Nagato's suggestion caused all the ship girls from the three fleets to turn their attention to Li Xiaoxi. With just one command from Li Xiaoxi, they could instantly dismantle the defenses of the fleet in front of them.

However, Li Xiaoxi shook her head, disagreeing with Nagato's suggestion. Although Nagato's suggestion was the simplest, it brought a lot of trouble. Li Xiaoxi said again in a gentle tone, "I'll give you ten minutes to summon your admiral! Otherwise, I'll take Nagato's suggestion."

"I've arrived in less than ten minutes," said Admiral Yohei Nishio, who appeared at that moment.

"Principal Nishio Yohei, why are you stopping me?" The atmosphere changed immediately after Nishio Yohei appeared. Yamato and the others were secretly preparing, while the onlookers held their breath, witnessing a scene that could change history.

"I need to ask you first, why did you bring a fleet to surround the school? Do you want to go against all of humanity?"

"All of humanity? Yohei Nishio, you say you can represent all of humanity? Are you still asleep?" Li Xiaoxi seemed to have heard an extremely funny joke, and stopped calling Yohei Nishio "Principal" and called him by his name directly.

"You called me Nishio Yohei?" Nishio Yohei widened his eyes in disbelief after hearing Li Xiaoxi's sarcasm.

“Yes, Yohei Nishio, get out of the way! Otherwise, don’t blame me for not giving you face,” Li Xiaoxi repeated.

"We are both generals, and I am your principal. How dare you call me by my name, Li Xiaoxi? I ​​don't care how many merits you have made, just for this disrespect for your elders, I will remove you from your position as admiral. From now on, you will be just an ordinary general." As if he had found Li Xiaoxi's weakness, Yohei Nishio said smugly that he would remove Li Xiaoxi's admiral qualification.

However, Yohei Nishio noticed that after he said those words, the people around him looked at him as if he were mentally challenged, their eyes filled with pity and sympathy.

"Yohei Nishio, don't you know I'm already a marshal? As for the principal, I'm sorry, from now on I'm the principal of the Naval Admiral's School," Li Xiaoxi said slowly, uttering these words that shocked everyone present.

"You say you're a marshal? Are you crazy? If you're a marshal, how come I've never heard of you from the naval headquarters?" Yohei Nishio said in disbelief.

Just as Li Xiaoxi was about to say something, a black-haired ship girl with glasses appeared between Li Xiaoxi and Nishio Yohei. "Admiral Li Xiaoxi is indeed a Marshal, Admiral Nishio Yohei. This is Admiral Li Xiaoxi's proclamation document for her promotion to Marshal."

Upon seeing the information on the identification document, Yohei Nishio froze on the spot. Only now did he realize why the Naval Headquarters had always been hesitant to help him; it turned out they had abandoned him.

Meanwhile, the onlookers, after witnessing the appearance of a ship girl and confirming Li Xiaoxi's position as marshal, began to whisper among themselves.

"Admiral, I apologize for being late. This is something the Governor-General asked me to give you," the bespectacled woman said apologetically to Li Xiaoxi after confirming Li Xiaoxi's rank as Marshal.

"Who are you?" Before Li Xiaoxi could speak, Enterprise asked her the question first.

"I am the admiral of the first ship of the Oyodo-class light cruiser, 'Oyodo.' The light cruiser Oyodo has joined the fleet, and the command and operation of the fleet are now in my hands." After giving Li Xiaoxi a military salute, Oyodo introduced herself.

Li Xiaoxi finally understood what the surprise Nagata Nobunaga had mentioned was. A few days ago, Li Xiaoxi complained to Nagata Nobunaga that the fleet couldn't be stationed for long periods. Unexpectedly, Nagata Nobunaga assigned Li Xiaoxi a mission ship girl.

"Oyodo welcomes you, but the timing isn't right; we can't hold a welcoming ceremony for you now."

"Admiral, don't worry too much. Oyodo knows that this is very important to you right now," Oyodo smiled slightly.

“That’s Yohei Nishio. My current admiral is a marshal, and you seem to be a general, right? Shouldn’t you give me a military salute from a subordinate to a superior?” Enterprise had long disliked Yohei Nishio.

"Yohei Nishio, I am now ordering you, as Marshal, to clear the way and let us in. Otherwise, I will resort to force," Li Xiaoxi issued her final ultimatum to Yohei Nishio.

“Even if you are a marshal, I am the principal of the Naval Admiral Academy, and I am the master of this place,” Yohei Nishio still refused to give up.

Seeing that Yohei Nishio was so out of touch with reality, Li Xiaoxi sighed, then gave Yamato and the others the same look before turning away and ignoring them.

Nagato, Iowa, and Enterprise had been waiting for Li Xiaoxi's gaze for a long time. After receiving Li Xiaoxi's consent, the three of them revealed a sinister smile and then slowly walked towards Nishio Yohei's fleet.

"Naka, attack!" Yohei Nishio shouted arrogantly.

Yes, I will.

But before Naka could finish speaking, she and her fleet of ship girls fainted. Nagato, Iowa, and Enterprise used real-life examples to show the onlookers that ship girls' fighting methods included not only main guns and carrier-based aircraft, but also close-quarters combat.

"Admiral, it's all taken care of," Nagato said happily to Li Xiaoxi after easily defeating Naka.

"Then let's go!"

After Li Xiaoxi finished speaking, she walked directly past Nishio Yohei and his fleet towards the Naval Admiral Academy. Yamato and the others followed closely behind her.
