Chapter 401 Zeppelin's own opinion
Zeppelin leaned against the ship's side, looking at the island looming in the distance and the seagulls hovering above, holding a somewhat old photo in her hand.
The figure in the photo is the pride of Germany...the Bismarck-class battleship.
The glory of the battleship Bismarck can almost summarize the entire history of World War II, and is definitely a well-known battleship known to everyone in the world.
The same is true for the ship girl who inherited the name of Bismarck and appeared in this world as a girl.
The battleship Bismarck once repelled countless deep-sea fleets and established great military achievements. It can be said that almost all German ship girls admired it very much.
The same goes for her, including her...
But a little different is that the other ship girls can only look at Bismarck from afar with admiration and never have a chance to be really close to her, but... she has.
More than ten years ago, when the deep-sea ship was raging on the coast of Germany, she was Bismarck's adjutant. In addition, Bismarck was also her mentor...
This is a memory she doesn't want to recall.
The ship she inherited was named Earl Zeppelin, which was the only German aircraft carrier during World War II. Unfortunately, this aircraft carrier did not experience several legendary battles like the battleship Bismarck, and had its own name engraved on history.
Earl Zeppelin was a failure since its birth. After the aircraft carrier was built, it stayed in the port and had not participated in a battle in a true sense. In the end, even her name was forgotten. It was discovered after sleeping in the sea more than 200 meters deep for nearly half a century.
The Earl Zeppelin is not those drawing ships that only exist in fantasy, have only names and no physical entities in history...but are aircraft carriers that have been truly built successfully and appear in this world.
So, she inherited the name Earl Zeppelin and was born in this world. She did not have the same young appearance and the same young thoughts as those drawing ships. She had her own thoughts, and her mental age was no different from that of an ordinary aircraft carrier girl.
But the only difference is that she has no combat experience. Unlike other ship girls, she used naval guns to aim at the enemy from the moment she was born, and controlled carrier-based aircraft to fly over the enemy fleet to launch a devastating air strike... These should be the instincts of the ship girls, and she knew nothing about it.
So when she first walked to Shanghai, she lost her balance and fell into the sea because she could not control her ship's equipment.
She couldn't even do the most basic thing about sailing on the sea, let alone fighting as an aircraft carrier girl.
Even Zeppelin still couldn't accept that incompetent look, even if he recalled it, the ship's side made a slight twisting sound, and the unwillingness in her heart made her unknowingly increase the power to hold the ship's side.
These... are already in the past.
Zeppelin let go of his hand holding the side of the ship and took a last look at the photo.
Not only the German military, but even Zeppelin wanted to give up his incompetent self and break down the ship's equipment back into an ordinary person's identity. But after she met Bismarck, everything changed.
During her time as Adjutant Bismarck, Bismarck taught her how to use ships as a mentor, including the most basic way to sail on the sea. These were all learned during her time as Adjutant Bismarck.
Bismarck was very strict when he was with her, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as harsh.
In her memory, she has never been recognized by Bismarck once in a true sense. Every training can be said to be a painful failure.
‘Is that all you can do with?’
‘The decomposition factory is there. If you want to give up, crawl over by yourself.’
‘That’s all the limit of the failed product!’
These things Bismarck had said to her seem to echo in her ears. The battleship was the pride of Germany and had the ability to be far above her. No matter how she tried to prove herself to Bismarck, in Bismarck's eyes, she seemed to be just a waste ship girl who could not even be able to do basic sailing.
Therefore, if you want to get Bismarck's recognition, your idea of surpassing Bismarck quietly appeared in Zeppelin's heart during repeated harsh training.
If she wants to be praised and recognized, she is also a German ship girl and the only aircraft carrier in Germany, Zeppelin is unwilling to sleep in the sea like her past, decaying in the sea for nearly half a century before she finally remembered it.
She did succeed. Her current status in Germany can be said to be completely comparable to Bismarck. Many new ship girls in Germany also regard her as the goal of her efforts. She was recognized by Germany and became an object admired by other ship girls.
But...but...but she has not been recognized by Bismarck so far, because Bismarck has never given her the opportunity to prove herself. No matter whenever she challenges Bismarck, she will be a crushing defeat... No matter how high her training level is, she will never have any chance of winning when facing Bismarck.
The three words "Faith" have always been the name Bismarck called her.
She was unwilling to stay here. After she had completely controlled her ship, Bismarck canceled her status as her adjutant, and the German military also dispatched her to another war zone to fight the deep-sea fleet as a commander.
This time she left for a few years. In the past few years, she became stronger, her training level had completely exceeded 100 levels, and she reached the level of a hero ship. However, when she returned home again to prove to Bismarck that she was not a failure, she got the news that Bismarck had left Germany.
She asked others about Bismarck's place, but she had never obtained any results, as if the battleship, which had made countless contributions to the entire Germany, had completely disappeared in one night.
It was a chaotic era, trampled by the deep sea to the vast world, and the ocean had long been occupied by the deep sea, so it was very difficult to find a lost ship girl, not to mention that Bismarck took the initiative to choose to leave Germany.
In addition, Germany has been hiding Bismarck's whereabouts from her, she gradually put this name and her past reluctance to the deepest part of her memory and will no longer be mentioned.
Until today...hearing the name that the admiral whispered in her ears, she completely remembered the feeling of being filled with unwillingness in her heart in the past.
Next time I meet, I will definitely defeat your childish idea, which has disappeared a few years ago.
Zeppelin only needs to believe that he is better than Bismarck now, no matter in any aspect. (To be continued, please search Piaotianyi, novels are better, updated and faster!
