I plan to add USS Texas at the Battle of Jutland reaction
Depending on the reactions, I will add shipgirls on my own accord.
I will add more Iron Blood kansens for this reaction, them being:
August Von Parseval, Agir, Lutzow
Chapter starts:
"Before you take the break however. Three Iron Blood kansens will be joining you before the next reaction" The screen says
(More?) Everyone thought
The Iron Blood shipgirls perk up at this as the portals open up. Kansens August Von Parseval, Agir, and Lutzow come through
(Sister.. oh how I am pleased) Graf Zeppelin thought while smirking
(Drinking buddy!) Admiral Hipper and Tallinn thought when they saw Agir
(Ugh.. why her/That lowly animal!) Queen Elizabeth and Deutschland thought looking at Lutzow
August Von Parseval manages to land while Agir and Lutzow drop to the floor
August Von Parseval notices everyone in the room, then she looks back to the other two that fell with her
"For every victors.. there are always losers. Get up you insignificant insects" August Von Parseval says, the Iron Blood shipgirls just sigh, the rest sweatdrop. Graf Zeppelin just smiles a little
"You don't have to talk to us like that.." Agir says while getting up, Lutzow gets up as well, then they notice the others in the room
"Am I dreaming?" Lutzow asks while rubbing her eyes
"I can assure you.. you're not. Now everyone, care to explain?" August Von Parseval asks
...
They watch future warships, contain the Bismarck, Cold War, WW1, Yuro's videos, etc. They got introduced to 'Screen' as well
The ten minute break went on, the three new invited kansens watched it in another room where time worked differently. The rest just enjoyed their time.
When the break was almost done, the three just finished watching
"That was... very.. interesting, how pathetic of our nation to lose. Even if it's another world, I do admire how they were able to fight for four years. Don't you agree drunken witch?" August Von Parseval asks
"How funny... I'm not a witch, I don't even do magic. I just like to drink is all" Agir replies
"I think thought it was scary yet interesting, and I still don't believe your the leader of the Royal Navy 'Queen' Elizabeth." Lutzow says
Queen Elizabeth scowls quietly
"Calm down girls.. your break is done. Let's continue with the next one, I hope you're all ready, because WW2 is way much worse than WW1" The screen says as the girls nod
The video starts
"It's 1902. A young man by the name of Benito Mussolini moves from Sardegna Empire to Switzerland to avoid military service. He gets big into socialism, working for trade unions, writing for socialist newspapers, advocating a violent overthrow of European monarchies, the whole shebang." The speaker says as we see him working and making a mess out of the European map with a red crayon
"This gets him in a bit of trouble with the Swiss police, so he gets arrested, sent back to Sardegna Empire, set free, returns to Switzerland, is arrested AGAIN, goes back to Sardegna Empire AGAIN, completes his military service after previously avoiding it, and then after a brief stint as an elementary school teacher.." The speaker says as Mussolini yells 'YOU FREAKING KIDS!!!'
FDG frowns
"He finally returns to work as an avid socialist. His speeches and journalistic abilities made him famous among Sardenian socialists. He was anti-war, so when Sardegna Empire colonized Libya in 1910, he rioted, and got arrested" The speaker says
"I see, so he's a busy man and a troublemaker" Zara says
"Then WW1 came along, and once again, he protested Italy's involvement, but then he thought:
'Wait a minute, this war could bring about the social climate needed to overthrow European monarchies and bring about the socialist revolution everywhere'" The speaker says as Mussolini has a sign that says 'NO WAR!'
"He became pro-war didn't he..." Roma says
"And suddenly he was pro-war, but his fellow socialists didn't like his new pro-war stance, so they kicked him out of the party" The speaker says as he suddenly colors the 'NO' in his sign making it just say 'WAR!'. Then he was kicked out of the 'Paritito Socialista Sardeniano'
"So then he said,
'You know what? I'm done with socialism, we need something new. Not based on class divisions tearing us apart, but based on unity through nationality. We'll conquer the Mediterranean, and reunite all Sardenian peoples, just like the day of the Roman Empire. I'll call it "Fascismo" and it will guide the Sardegna Empire to greatness'" Mussolini says as the camera zooms out to show he was having his epic moment in a barber shop
'That's all well and good Mr. Mussolini, but what kind of haircut am I giving you?' The barber asks
'Let's go with.. bald' Mussolini replies as the 1812 Overture starts playing in the background as many many different images of glorious bald Mussolini show. Two of the photos even somehow kiss each other
Some of the shipgirls laugh at the sight
The title then shows
'WW2'
The screen shows some of the countries that took part in WW1
"Sardegna Empire had been on the winners side in WW1, and they hoped they were going to get a lot out of it, but in the end they only got a little, and they felt cheated" The speaker states as we see Expectations vs Reality
"It's not that bad.. but I understand the reaction" Vittorio Veneto says frowning, remembering what she said during the WW1 video
"On top of that, a bad economy, and weak governments meant that the Italian people were a little unhappy" The speaker says as we see a Prime Minister named Giovanni Giolitti
"So when Mussolini came along, and said that he could fix everything, his fascist movement gained a lot of support." The speaker says as Mussolini is now bald with a vein pop on the side of his head, he yells 'I CAN FIX EVERYTHING!' and the people were now happy
"In 1922, he went to the King and said, 'Make me prime minister, or I'll make me prime minister', then the King said, 'You and what army?'
'This army' Mussolini replied as the camera shows hundreds of bald men.
A moment of silence
'Fair enough' The king says
"Smart man.." Saint Louis says
"Then he went about establishing a dictatorship with himself at its center. Europe had its first fascist dictator (IL DUCE). Next up: Iron Blood" The speaker states
The Iron Blood shipgirls frown at this
"Iron Blood had been on the losers side, and they got absolutely wrecked by the Treaty of Versailles. They lost territory, had the demilitarize the Rhineland, had to reduce their army to just 100,000 men, couldn't have an air force, could barely have a navy, had to pay the Allies now which is now called Azur Lane; a huge amount of money that it didn't have ($800,000,000,000), and a new rule was established that every Royal withheld the right to walk into the center of Berlin, pick out any Iron Blood citizen they wanted, and punish them severely" The speaker says
Most of the Iron Blood shipgirls felt humiliated, some even scowled at how far the treaty was going. The rest of the shipgirls were just shocked at the treaty, that was too far. No surprise that they had a dictator, and that the people were not definitely happy.
"Let's be honest here.. that is definitely one of the worst treaties in history" Hornet says as everybody instantly nods in agreement
"I made that last one up, but it should help you understand how all of this felt to Iron Blood"
"It feels utterly and disgustingly humiliating" August Von Parseval says
"On top of that, a bad economy, and weak governments meant that when a snall, angry man with a silly mustache came along, and said that he could fix everything, the Iron Blood people loved it"The speaker says as we see a silly mustache man
"Hitler had been a soldier during WW1, and he was crazy patriotic, and nobody was madder than him about Iron Blood's humiliation" The speaker sees as we see his bedroom, almost everything was either an Iron Blood color or flag.
"I don't blame him" Lutzow says
"He helped start a new political party, and in 1923, attempted a march on Munich with his boys, and then he got arrested. But his popularity grew and grew, and in 1933, the President Hindenburg made him Chancellor. He believed he was Iron Blood's great destined savior, and he went full megalomaniac, establishing a dictatorship with himself at its center. Europe now had Fascist Dictator No. 2.Hitler and Mussolini had a lot of the same ideas." The speaker states as we see a list shows:
- Radical Nationalism
- Totalitarianism
- Violence and Militarism
- Anti-Democratic
- Anti Socialist
- Extremely Racist (Hitler) and Quite Racist (Mussolini)
"This is getting bad, but I feel this isn't the end just yet..." Avrora says
"More importantly, they had the same enemies, and they started to get along" The speaker says as their enemies are the Royal Navy, Iris Libre, and Northern Parliament
'Anyone else wanna be friends? Hispania? No? You good?' Iron Blood asks until another nation suddenly responds
'I do' ??? responds
'Who's that?' Iron Blood asks
The map then changes to reveal that the Sakura Empire was the one that replied
"It's the Sakura Empire, and they've taken over Northern Dragon Empery (Mahchukuo)" The speaker says
The Sakura Empire and Dragon Empery shipgirls started to get worried
"Let's rewind a bit --- The Sakura Empire had isolated itself from the rest of the world for over 200 years. Until Eagle Union showed up and said, 'You're going to trade with us, and you're going to like it'
"What the.." Montpelier says
"Then the Western powers imposed a bunch of 'Unequal Treaties'. Meaning the Sakura Empire's economy was bust. They also had no natural resources" The speaker says
"It seems every 'enemy' nation so far has been screwed over by the Allies nya.." Akashi says
Mikasa and Avrora frown at this moment, they knew where this was going
"So the Sakura Empire decided to go get some. They went to war with Dragon Empery to gain a sphere of influence over Korea, and they took a bunch of Dragon Empery's stuff, but then the West said 'Hey! Cut that out!', and since the Sakura Empire couldn't take on the West, they said
'Okay, I guess we'll just go home.. WAIT A MINUTE! What are you doing?!' The Sakura Empire asks
'Taking advantage of a weakened Dragon Empery and setting up spheres of influence' Iron Blood replies
'But I was the one who weakened them' The Sakura Empire says
'We know' Iron Blood says back
'And you guys didn't let me have anything' The Sakura Empire replies
'We know' Iron Blood says once again
'That seems unfair' The Sakura Empire says back
'We don't think so' Iron Blood says
Awkward pause
'Okay, see ya' Iron Blood says"
"Wow, the west made the Sakura Empire open up to the world yet they're closing them. What a stupid mess.." Enterprise says
"Your alter nations took advantage of my weakened nation as well.. and they think it's okay and fair..." Ning Hai says frowning while Ping Hai comforts her
"So the Sakura Empire thought (Screw this!) and went to war with Northern Parliament, and stunned everyone by actually winning" The speaker says
Mikasa and Avrora lower their heads
"Then they fully annexed Korea, but they didn't stop there. In WW1, they took Iron Blood's colonies and islands in Asia."
"The past came to bite our alter nation back.." Agir says
"And then in an incident that was MAYBE staged by the Sakura Empire Army, a bomb blew up a Sakura Empire train in Manchuria, giving them an excuse to launch an invasion and take over."
The Sakura Empire and Dragon Empery kansens frown more
"So here's the situation: Nazi Iron Blood, Fascist Sardegna Empire, and the Sakura Empire all believe they're racially superior, all feel hostility towards Azur Lane, and all want to militarize and take over more stuff. Together, the three of them formed what is known as, the 'Crimson Axis'." The speaker states
Akagi and Kaga frown, they were about to see what would happen if they hadn't realize that trusting the sirens was foolish and formed the Crimson Axis and declared war on Azur Lane.
"Let's start with Iron Blood. Hitler hated the Treaty of Versailles and now he was ready to begin undoing it. In complete violation of the treaty, the first Luftwaffe squadrons were set up, conscription was introduced, and over the years he pimped up his army and navy" The speaker says as we see pictures, representing the army was a big railway gun while the navy was the Bismarck class battleship
Bismarck and Tirpitz frown and scowl at this, they should've felt pride for their nation, but they just couldn't in the moment, because in this universe they were created for war and not serving humanity. Instead their alter versions were serving an insanely corrupt person.
"Azur Lane did nothing, then Hitler sent his army back into the demilitarized Rhineland, giving orders to immediately retreat if Azur Lane showed up. Azur Lane still did nothing" The speaker says as we see an Iris Libre troop force say 'Not our problem'
"Oh come on!" Dunkerque yells
"With his military restrengthened, he could now move on to Step 2 (Take over the World). He wanted to rapidly increase the Aryan population, and to do so he needed lebensraum (living space), or in other words he would have to take over the world. But for now, a good portion of Europe would do, and he began eyeing up his neighbors. Azur Lane finally started to get worried" The speaker states as we see Royal Navy and Iris Libre standing nearby looking nervously at Iron Blood who is staring down at Poland
"Of all the times they had to get worried, now they get worried? This alter Azur Lane is ridiculous" Enterprise says
"So they implemented a fairly useless diplomatic strategy called appeasement, and it went a little something like this:
'I want that thing' Hitler says pointing to a small country
'You can't have that thing- Nnnnngggg OK, you can have that thing but no more' Azur Lane said
'I want that thing' Hitler says pointing to another small country
AND REPEAT."
"I find Azur Lane's lack of action disturbing" Shoukaku says
"In 1938, Hitler's army marched into Austria, and just took it with no resistance. Boom, this is Iron Blood now. Next, he demanded to be given the Sudetenland, an area of Czechoslovakia with many ethnic Iron Blood people. Azur Lane held a meeting with Hitler in Munich and said:
'Look, we're going to give you wha-' Chamberlain of the Royal Navy tries to say
'HANG ON. This meeting is about my territory, shouldn't I come to the meeting too?' Czechoslovakia says nearby
Awkward silence
'Anyway, we're going to give you what you want' Chamberlain says
'Really?' Hitler asks
'Yeah' Chamberlain replies
'Just like that?' Hitler asks once more
'Yep' Chamberlain replies again
'What's the catch?' Hitler asks for the last time
'Just sign this piece of paper promising you won't invade the rest of Czechoslovakia' Chamberlain says while showing the paper that says 'I will b chill'
'Okay' Hitler says
"It's not that easy right?" Ping Hai asks
"Knowing how that megalomaniac is so far.. he's definitely going to invade the rest of Czechoslovakia" Bismarck replies
"Then Chamberlain returned home victorious waving his signed piece of paper in the air, declaring crisis to be averted and the continuation of World Peace, and we built statue of Chamberlain in his honor and every day on the 30th of September we celebrate Chamberlain Day-" The speaker tries to say but was interrupted by a random person
'Hitler's invading the rest of Czechoslovakia'
'What?' Chamberlain asks
'He's invading the rest of Czechoslovakia' The random person replies
'Oh..' Chamberlain says as we see him with Hitler
'You lied to me'
'What do you expect? I'm Hitler' Hitler says
"Appeasement, what a stupid idea." Zuikaku says
"I think Hitler realized he could get away with more and more with that tactic, so he decided to play along" Queen Elizabeth says
"Not to be outdone, Mussolini also wanted to get in on the action. He thought to himself
'Isn't there a not yet colonized nation somewhere which is so underdeveloped that the people would be defending themselves against our tanks with literal bows and arrows and wooden spears? Oh there is? (Abyssinia). Fantastic!'
And so he took it"
"It's free real estate" Denver says
"Sardegna Empire also wanted to control the entrance to the Adriatic Sea, so they occupied Albania, then in another incident that was MAYBE staged by the Sakura Empire; gunfire was exchanged by Sakura Empire and Dragon Empery troops at the Marco Polo Bridge. The Sakura Empire launched yet another invasion against Dragon Empery" The speaker states
"It seems our alter nation is not afraid to be bold.." Nagato says frowning
"Things will never be enough when you conquer..." Yat Sen says also frowning
"They swept through Beijing and Shanghai, and then advanced through the Yangtze Valley to Dragon Empery's then-capital, Nanking. It was here that saw the worst of the Sakura Empire's shocking atrocities committed against the Dragon Empery people..." The speaker
The shipgirls wondered what that meant, screen did say that WW2 was much worse than WW1 so they could only wonder in fear
"Back in Europe, Iron Blood and Sardegna Empire made their relationship status official by signing the Pact of Steel. Then Hitler turned his eyes towards Poland and the hated Polish Corridor splitting Iron Blood in two. At this point Azur Lane really had to put their foot down, and they warned him that an invasion of Poland would mean war" The speaker states
"Our alter nations decided finally decided to act" Saint Louis says
"Hitler had planned to continue his advance eastward, but he didn't want to end up fighting a war on two fronts, so for now he made an alliance with Stalin saying,
'How about we both invade Poland and split it between the two of us, and I definitely won't not refrain from betraying you sometime in the future'" Hitler says
(Why did he say it like that) Everyone thought
(Don't you do it you old goat!) The Northern Parliament shipgirls thought
"Sounds... good" Stalin replies, suspicious of Hitler
Everybody was shocked
"Stalin, you damn fool!!" Sovetskaya Rossiya yells
"This new alliance stunned the West. On the 1st of September 1939, Iron Blood troops entered Poland, and the Royal Navy and Iris Libre declared war on Iron Blood"
(Poor Poland) Everyone thought
"Hitler must've thought alter Azur Lane would not do anything again" Intrepid says
"I mean, they did demonstrate time and time again that they were not going to do anything." Howe says
"They just declared war on Iron Blood; not attacking it, that's practically still doing nothing" Lutzow says
"The Poles fought hard, but they were no match for the two giants crashing down on them from either side" The speaker says while Azur Lane does nothing
"What did I say? They didn't do anything" Lutzow says
"Then came a period known as 'The Phony War', where everyone just sort of sat around not doing much" The speaker states as Iron Blood coughs
"Why the hell didn't Azur Lane launch a surprise attack. This 'Phony War' could just give more time for them to prepare!" Littorio yells
"Iris Libre had launched a small invasion into the Saar Land, but they maintained mostly defensive positions, and after a while decided to just turn around and call it a day."
"They just went home after a while where they could've possibly gained an advantage? How disappointing.." Rodney says
"Speaking of Iris Libre, they were still super proud of their victory in WW1, and they hadn't really moved on from it. They still used horses, they dispatched messages by motorbike instead of using the radio, orders from the commander-in-chief were usually pretty vague, and the troops were rarely inspected" The speaker says as we see the orders being 'Do drills and stuff'. The troops were drunk and were confused on why they were speaking english
The Iris Libre shipgirls were just shooketh
"What. The. Fu-" Jean Bart says
"They built a line of defenses along their Iron Blood border, but didn't bother extending it all the way to the Channel, and they wouldn't launch artillery strikes against Iron Blood out of fear of being retaliated against." The speaker states
"Attacking first would lead the enemy to justify if they ever retaliate, but still, that's pretty stupid for them to do" Blucher says
"In a war, they didn't want to attack the enemy. At first, the Royal Navy wasn't much better. Chamberlain still naively hoped that the war could be ended diplomatically." The speaker says
"He's like a European version of President Wilson" Essex says
"Instead of bombing raids, the RAF dropped propaganda leaflets over Iron Blood cities, which one air marshal said likely did nothing but provide the continent with toilet paper for the duration of the war. They also spend 200,000 men to Iris Libre while they mobilized millions. Both the Royal Navy and Iris Libre wanted to avoid a repeat of the First World War, and so they wanted to keep the war far from home as possible, so they turned their eyes north, towards Norway" The speaker says
"Another neutral country getting involved.." Georgios Averof says
"Neutral Sweden was exporting iron ore to Iron Blood through Neutral Norway, so Azur Lane asked them if they could please stop exporting iron ore to Iron Blood, but this request was refused. Then the Northern Parliament attacked Suomi Republic (Finland), so Azur Lane said,
'How about we land troops in Norway, and move them across Sweden to go help out your good pal Suomi, and along the way maybe take control of all your iron fields' The Royal Navy said
But Norway and Sweden still said no"
"Do they know who they're working for?" Avrora says while frowning on why her alter nation was invading it's neighboring country
"So the Royal Navy mined the waters around Norway to force any transport ships into international waters, and they also attacked an Iron Blood tanker (Altmark) they found in the area. Hitler realized what Azur Lane was up to, and he quickly moved to secure his supply of iron ore" The speaker says
The shipgirls tense
"He launched an invasion through Denmark into Norway. Azur Lane rushed to land troops at quay ports along the coast, but Iron Blood had taken control of Norway's airfields, and their air superiority decided to fight. The allies had to retreat"
"Smart decisions on both sides, though it is pathetic for alter Azur Lane to lose" August Von Parseval says
"After this slightly embarrassing failure, Chamberlain resigned and was replaced by Winston Churchill, who had a slightly different approach to dealing with Iron Blood" The speaker says see Winston raise a V sign with his hand
Some shipgirls laugh at this
"Well I hope he turns out to be a good leader" Hood says a little concerned
"Hitler's overall strategy was similar to Iron Blood's WW1 strategy. Attack Iris Libre, defeat Iris Libre which knocks out the Royal Navy in the process, then turn on the Northern Parliament and win the war. During the Phony War, Azur Lane had given Hitler enough time to prepare his forces. Now he was ready to attack" The speaker says as the shipgirls begin to tense
"And again.. another situation that is going to bite them back" Prinz Eugen says
"The Allies had wanted to place troops in Belgium, but Belgium had refused, and in a move that surprised pretty much no one, Hitler launched an invasion to get around Iris Libre's defenses. Azur Lane charged into Belgium at full speed to meet the Iron Blood invasion head-on, and it looked like a repeat of the First World War was coming, but this time Hitler had a trick up his sleeve. 'BLITZKRIEG'." The speaker states as we see the attack start
"As Iron Blood advanced, they sent thousands of refugees westward, slowing down Azur Lane" The speaker says as we see the refugees running to Iris Libre
The shipgirls were almost shocked, but they remembered that this was Hitler they were watching
"He really is an insane maniac.." FDG says in an angry tone, the Iron Blood shipgirls were beginning to get concerned. FDG when mad is never a good sign
"Then to the south, Iris Libre had left the Ardennes, an area filled with hills and forests, pretty under-defended, because they thought it was naturally impenetrable" The speaker says
"There are things that are naturally impenetrable.. but the Ardennes isn't" Richelieu says
"Well Iron Blood was about to penetrate it with everything they had. They smashed 50 Wehrmacht divisions through, and encircled the Azur Lane armies at lightning speed. The best of their forces were now trapped. Iron Blood squeezed in from all sides taking out Iris Libre's best armies and nearly wiping out the Royal troops too"
The Royal Navy shipgirls lowered their heads
"It's over for Iris Libre.." Richelieu says frowning while Jean Bart comforts her
"But the Royal troops managed to make a desperate last-minute escape at Dunkirk (Dunkerque), with Royal civilian ships even making the perilous journey to bring their young men home" The speaker says as we see the escape
"At least some troops got out of that bloody beach.." Edinburgh says
"With most of the Iris Libre forces depleted, Iron Blood breezed through, taking Paris and Iris Libre fell. What Iron Blood couldn't do in WW1, Hitler had done just like that" The speaker states
"That must've really felt good to Hitler, he's finally getting revenge for the Treaty of Versailles..." Tirpitz says
"Hitler hoped that with the fall of Iris Libre, the Royal Navy would also lose hope and sue for peace, but quite annoyingly it didn't" The speaker says as we see the nation carrying a sign that says 'NEVER SURENDER!' while jumping, Hitler nearby looking furious
The Royal Navy shipgirls had looks of some degree of pride
"Hitler needed to secure the Western Front, so he tried to force them into submission with mind games. The Royal Navy was now all alone, and Hitler wanted to emphasize that. First of all, just before Iris Libre fell, Sardegna Empire finally declared war on Azur Lane making the Royal Navy's situation even worse." The speaker says
"They either joined in since Iron Blood was winning or there were complications" Zara says
"Next, instead of just occupying all of Iris Libre, Hitler occupied the coastal areas for defense but allowed Iris Libre to continue its existence as a Iron Blood puppet state (Vichya Dominion). Some of its kansens were in that puppet state, them being Jean Bart, Dunkerque, Algerie, and more. This way, it looked like Royal Navy's old ally had decided to switch sides." The speaker states
Richelieu and Saint Louis felt their hearts broken, their own alter brethren were now fighting under a banner of injustice. Jean Bart and Dunkerque were shocked at this
"I would never betray my own nation.." Jean Bart says scowling
"Hitler also hoped that the Royal Navy wouldn't attack any of her old ally's navy basses or colonies in the Lowlands Republic (Africa). This gave Hitler an extra line of defense to the south, but the Royal Navy made sure to respond to this by ordering Ark Royal to sail down to Iris Libre's navy base in Algeria (Mers-el-Kebir) and damage a bunch of ships. So have at it" The speaker says as we see Winston giving the V sign again
The Iris Libre shipgirls hoped nothing bad happened, while Ark Royal didn't want to know what that felt like to hurt, possibly kill her own allies
"Hitler then began laying down plans for an invasion of the Royal Navy. Before Iron Blood troops could land on Royal soil, he would first need air and naval superiority across the Channel. Waves of Iron Blood bombers came while the completely outnumbered RAF worked bravely around the clock in an attempt to quell their attacks. At first, the Luftwaffe targeted Royal Navy ports and coastal facilities, then it attacked RAF bases which crippled the RAF's ability to defend the nation, and it looked like Hitler's great Royal invasion was coming" The speaker says as we see where the attacks landed
Everyone began to worry, the great and mighty Royal Navy falling? Impossible
"But then, Churchill ordered a small and pretty insignificant bombing raid over Berlin. It didn't do much damage, but Hitler was Fuhrer-ous, and he immediately ordered the Luftwaffe to refocus its attacks on civilian targets in London. Children were sent off the countryside away from their parents to avoid danger"
FDG felt her heart break for the poor kids, she was getting angrier at Hitler. Her dangerous aura was beginning to show and the Iron Blood shipgirls were getting really concerned
"And frequent trips to air-raid shelters became a daily occurrence, but Royal morale held firm. Smiling, knitting, lounging casually, these people have balls of steel. This refocusing on London also gave the RAF breathing space to reorganize" The speaker states
"At least they're recovering a little.." Unicorn says while hugging Illustrious scared
"So Hitler kind of shot himself in the foot there. Just the foot for now"
Everyone thought what the speaker meant
"Finally, the Luftwaffe sent one massive all-out attack on London and the RAF successfully repelled it, destroying many of the Iron Blood aircraft, and placing air superiority firmly in Royal Navy hands. Hitler's invasion had to be postponed, but the bombing of Royal cities continued for some time" The speaker states as the first video ends
Everybody breathed a sigh of relief when the Royal Navy won
"I-I need a breather.. for at least 5 minutes" Javelin says
"Tell me about it..." FDG says still in her angry tone and menacing aura
"Well in your luck. Relax for 5 minutes, you girls certainly need it" The screen says
Chapter ends, have a WW2 meme:
