Capítulo 5: Chapter 4 - Secret Submarine Abandoned Project
In the command center room, I stood facing the Admiral in charge of the Gibraltar military base. The figure of the girl wearing a white Admiral uniform stared at me with a sharp gaze.
"..."
"..."
We stared at each other without opening the topic of conversation. The Admiral stared at my head to my toes without blinking. Beside her was a table that formed a U-shape with the Royal Navy ships and Iron Blood also ships staring at me.
Why do the Royal Navy and Iron Blood seem to be so close?
Don't ask me, I want to know too!
If Azurlane's history is following the real world, they should be enemies.
The problem this time is...
Which Azurlane world am I sent to?
This situation looks very peaceful for both parties who should be enemies.
I glanced at Hood and got a small smile on her sweet face. Our little sweet war is over and our relationship is a little special. I guess, it looks like a mother looking at her child.
Indirectly, I have been adopted by Hood as her rental child.
Oh, Shit! Another troublesome situation has occurred. But, if it benefits my situation. I will gladly accept it.
"Ettoo... Are we going to stare at each other or talk about something..."
"The military operation that will take place in another enemy base?" I asked while looking at the Tactical Map on the Admiral's desk.
"I regret saying this to you..." Suddenly, the Female Admiral spoke.
"Violations regarding trespassing on a military base, unauthorized intrusion of military wave frequencies, and ship identities that are not registered in the Azurlane database. All of these violations are enough to sentence you and your ship to death."
Thuumm!!
Hood deliberately smiled and put her teacup down hard on the table after hearing her Admiral's words.
"Ahem! Before that, I would like to know a reason why a ship like yours is here?" The Admiral was a little depressed after Hood made her small protest move.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Well, I already expected this to happen.
Everything was going according to my plan. With the Weapons From Another World Skill, I created an Artificial Intelligence that would support my nonsense.
Huh? Do you think Artificial Intelligence isn't a weapon? Think again!
This Artificial Intelligence I created has features like TB. An AI from Azurlane world.
Ah, if you didn't know. TB is the player's assistant in Operation Siren. Currently, TB's role is only open communication in the form of Virtual Intelligence between Azurlane parties to respond to strange anomalies caused by sirens.
My Artificial Intelligence has a role that is almost similar to TB's, but she is a little cheerful and has her own thoughts.
Cough! That's why... I entrust my life in the hands of my Artificial Intelligence!
"To answer that question, can I call someone with an open network?" I asked.
The Admiral looked at me with a sharp gaze.
"Of course," the Admiral replied briefly.
I immediately took out a smartphone from my uniform pocket and called my Artificial Intelligence into a video call. Seeing the small object in my hand, the Admiral became wary of my movements.
When the call was answered, a cheerful and bright voice greeted me.
"Hello, Spring Field restaurant. How can I help you?"
"Ehh?"
"Eeh?"
"Eh??"
Of course, I used the loudspeaker when making the video call. It was much better than a one-way communication full of secrets. My goal this time was to gain the Female Admiral of this place's trust with my true identity.
A perfected secret submarine, not a suicide submarine still being developed by Eagle Union.
Oh! With this little act, I will slap their stupid assumptions on their heads!
"I would like to reserve a table for the funeral dinner," I replied.
"Huum! The dinner table is full for today."
"I would also like to order hotel room service and a night out for three bottles of yellow wine."
"Would you like a special room to enjoy it?"
"Of course! How could I enjoy a night out without a special room? Especially in room DELTA-CON 177-033-000."
"Un! Understood! A special order will be processed soon. Would you like to pay the deposit?"
"Is Shell still usable?"
"Of course, how many Shells are you offering?"
"Shell... Seawolf..."
Yup, this is just a word game with my Artificial Intelligence. This strange conversation might bother the Iron Blood who has been staring at me with cold eyes. However, this is just the beginning of the next game.
"Identity confirmed! Welcome to Sofia's communication line! SSN-21!"
"Hello Sofia, long time no contact!" I said.
"Oh! SSN-21! Why are you using this communication channel? Have you been caught by one of Azurlane Lackeys? Yeah!! That's impossible! Because you're a stealth submarine that's not easily detected," Sofia said cheerfully and casually. Although this conversation had been arranged, my Artificial Intelligence looked very lively.
"Yeah, you're right. I've been caught by some of Azurlane Lackeys."
"Ahahaha!! Good joke, SSN-21!"
After that last statement, I immediately turned the front camera of my smartphone towards the Admiral.
"Ahaha… Ohh… Ehh?! You really were caught by Azurlane!" Sofia shouted.
The game has begun!
For the first time, an Artificial Intelligence disguised as a fake Agent faced off against a real Admiral. The difference between the two was that this Admiral was supported by Azurlane while my Artificial Intelligence led a seawolf unit that moved under shadow Azurlane's radar.
Of course, that was just a well-prepared nonsense.
It looks like I'm under an secret special force.
"Hey! SSN-21! What about that mission?! Has it been taken care of?!" Sofia was enjoying the game a bit. Her disguise as an secret Agent seemed very lively.
"Nope, it hasn't happened yet. It seems like the Gibraltar military base will be facing The Empress III which is my mission this time. So, I don't need to take care of it."
"Look at the situation, idiot! You've been caught! How am I going to explain this to my superiors? This unit might get disbanded!"
"Well, if this unit gets disbanded. Don't you already get your pension fund?"
"Ugh! Why do you know all that!"
"Well, anyone would notice if the pension fund flow is directed to one bank account."
"Hey! Don't peek into other people's accounts without permission! That's an invasion of privacy! Putting that aside, what about the development status of The Empress III?"
"Not too bad, the siren's defense is still in a strategic position. I can attack it if this little problem can be resolved," I said while glancing at the Female Admiral.
"Uh... your words sound easy to process. I need our superior's help with this one. Wait a minute!"
Once again, the game has begun. Sofia who is inside my submarine's system network has analyzed Azurlane's communication network. Hacking activities for a fake order can be done easily. With the Admiralty Code order, all Admirals on duty cannot oppose it.
A long-distance telegram signal has been sent, the message written on it came from Azurlane's Admiralty Code. Thanks to Sofia's hard work, Azurlane's chain of command was successfully learned in one night. Since Sofia is just an Artificial Intelligence that is piggybacking on my submarine's system network, she doesn't need sleep to carry out my small task.
Ahahaha...
Weapons From Another World is an OP skill! Penetrating the military system is just a small matter!
Sometimes, I am so scared of my cunningness.
Behind me, the door to the command center opened. A woman ran in hurriedly carrying a telegram paper. Seeing her panicked expression, I could guess that it was a fake order from Azurlane's Admiralty Code.
Well, anyone would understand if a subordinate entered the Admiral's command room without knocking.
If it wasn't an emergency, then there was only one thing.
With this, my problem with the Gibraltar military base is over.
"Admiral-chan, ganbatte.. neee~" Sofia said in her cheerful tone.
"Oh! SSN-21! Don't forget your mission! Come back immediately after capturing or killing The Empress III!"
"Haa!!" following Sofia's improvisation, I gave a military salute as if she were my secret Agent.
"Oh, one more thing! I got a small report about you guys getting the data of the USS Seawolf with hull number SS-28. It was just our stupid scientific project and has been abandoned for a long time. As a result, we managed to build a seawolf unit whose main specialty is destroying siren nests without involving the Azurlane firepower."
"You probably won't believe what I'm saying, but the young man in front of you has destroyed 91 Siren Strongholds without being detected."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"HUUUUUH?!!"
With Sofia's last words, a small commotion occurred in the command center room.
Well, it was just nonsense but it had a big effect.
