"You accepted me?", Archen was surprised to hear the captain's reply
"Yes, I accept you, as the ship's cleaning officer," the captain replied as he sat back down and put down his gun
"Eh?"
Finally Archen came out of the tent, he looked weak when he came out despite being accepted into the military. Now he understood the reason everyone who came out of the tent looked limp. Not because of the rejection, but because of the pressure of the captain
The captain said he could stay at the dock before his departure tomorrow. Archen took this opportunity to rest after two days he arrived in this world, but apparently he could not
At the dock itself many crews like Archen are staying, then there is a party held by the veteran crew to welcome the newly recruited crew. So all night Archen was partying with them, it's certainly not bad because he got free food anyway
"Eat that many juniors!! Tomorrow we'll take out the Brits!! Hahaha," shouted one of the drunken seniors
Brits is a combined word that means British Ship which means British ship. The term was often used by Germanic troops as a derogatory word for the British
"ahaha~," Archen tried to blend in
The military atmosphere that Archen thought was far different from what was happening now, he thought it would be difficult to blend in with them because of their high discipline
He fell asleep at the party, forgetting everything he had been through for two days. Even so Archen was aware that tomorrow would be a hard day
"Build everything!! The captain is waiting in the field!!" shouted one of the troops
All who fell asleep in the party room last night immediately woke up, they ran to pick up their own goods and rushed to the field. Archen was fortunately still able to follow them well
From a distance the captain stood in position palace on the spot, on the right-hand side there is also a high-ranking army after the captain. These are all in the command tower of the ship to command the entire ship
All the crew lined up neatly and quietly, this atmosphere that Archen had imagined when he first entered the military. But given what happened last night, he could not believe what he was seeing now
"The squad, the mission we've got from the General is to patrol the North British sea,"
The British Sea is the sea in the North, Germanica itself is also directly adjacent to this sea, as well as Francia, Dacia, and other Northern countries
There is a reason why this sea is called Britain even though it borders many countries
"Their naval strength, most of their ships patrolled this sea to keep the British landlocked from the Western continent,"
The captain explained how terrible the British fighting force in the sea was that made the name of the sea British
"That's all I want to say, get on!"
"Okay" replied the soldier
If only the Germanica navy controlled this sea, it might be called Germanica
All the crew boarded the ship and got ready to do their respective duties, within ten minutes the ship would leave for the sea
Archen who had just entered the warship was of course amazed, it turned out that it was bigger than he expected. Although the ship that Archen entered was a Destroyer class ship that was fairly small compared to the Battleship class and such
Destroyer is one of the 5 classes that exist, of which five also branch other classes according to the maker. Of the 5 classes in existence, the Destroyer was a 4th level ship of the order of magnitude, before the latter was a submarine
But Germanica only has until the 2nd grade, Battleship. They don't have an aircraft carrier to fly planes out of the ocean
Germanica is too focused on the army and air force, they are at the forefront of this field. But for the sea, they have less interest than others
Still Germanica had a successful campaign at sea, one of the most successful was "Blocading the Blockade", or blockading a blockade
With its naval power, Britain blocked access to Germanica from the British sea in the North. All of his navy was contained there so it could not help their army against Dacia and Francia
Despite being left behind in its navy, Germanica was a pioneer in the manufacture of the world's first combat submarine. They have the most number of submarines that they use for times like this
Undetected, many Germanica submarines broke through the British blockade and created a blockade behind the British blockade line
They destroyed all the resource-carrying ships bound for Britain, depriving Britain of resources such as bullets, food, and more.
It didn't take long for Archen to feel that the ocean was terrible. Many casualties from both sides were falling there, plus the weather was always dark because the smoke of the battle that occurred everywhere made a terrible impression on the sea
A silent atmosphere began to re-create inside the ship, but not as still as the previous line. This time it was more like silence enjoying the sound of the ocean waves and the sound of the wind
"Hei Archen", a man who was the same age as Archen suddenly called out to him while Archen was cleaning up
"Oh hey, what's Nimtz?"
"From the beginning I saw you, I knew you weren't a good fit to clean, right?" He said as he approached Archen
"Yes, I rarely do this"
"That means, what exactly is your reason for going into the military?" Ask
Archen was silent for a moment but he continued mopping the cabin floor normally, then he answered
"Actually I want to be one of the top military officers in the navy, then make our navy grow as well as the army and air force"
"Hoho, great ambition" Nimtz said as he clapped
"More, what are you doing down here!? Your position is in the command tower, right?"
Nimtz was one of several crew members who were in the command tower along with the captain, the same person who showed his way in the recruitment tent at the time Archen first signed up
He likes to be near Archen to hear Archen's brilliant ideas. He also actually wanted to take a short break from the atmosphere in the command tower which was more serious than anywhere else
"If your ambition succeeds, maybe Germanica will rule the four countries that are fighting against us" Nimtz said
"No, when my ambitions are fulfilled, the four countries have been conquered by Germanica, then the world will be controlled by Germanica with the power of three advanced armies" Archen replied to Nimtz's statement
Archen had thought ahead of him, how to become an admiral, how to rule the world, and how to become a God. But the most difficult is this first stage
"How do I get on as captain, huh..?"
Currently the rank of an Archen was nothing more than an ordinary warrior, perhaps even lower. All he did was clean up, no other work
Isn't the cleaning officer who rose to the rank of captain weird? That's what Archen thought, after all, it wasn't easy to get to the captaincy of his current position
He really needs a fortune and a miracle
And that's what Archen got
This British Sea, the longer it is explored, the more the battles that occurred in the past
Archen came out for a breath of fresh air after doing a 3-hour cleaning, only this time he cleaned up during that time, he began to be reliable in this field
His chin rested on the handle of the broom he had brought out, looking at the sea on the left side of the ship. Even he fell asleep for a moment and almost fell to his right side, fortunately he woke up and did not fall
"Uwahh, I'm so sleepy", Archen rubbed his eyes
After being rubbed, he looked in the same direction before he fell asleep. He saw a black dot from an obscure distance, he tried to look back at it until he realized it was a ship
The first Archen did not know which side the ship was on, but it was his next announcement that explained everything,
"Consideration to the entire crew to go to their respective positions, I repeat the entire crew to their respective positions", the sound was heard through several speakers mounted throughout the ship
The alarm began to sound and the entire crew ran to their respective positions, including Archen who headed to the cabin inside the ship to take cover
Actually the Archen cabin was not too far from the position that Archen had previously slept in, so he did not need to rush over and decided to look at the battle for a moment
Until finally a large cannon broke the waves right in front of Archen which made him rush to the cabin and take refuge there
This was Archen's first battle, and he did not take any position in this battle. He only took shelter in the cabin with other officers like ordinary citizens who took shelter from the battle
