I Became a Captain of the British Empire

Don’t panic!

“Mother, that is an outrageous misunderstanding.”

Don’t panic. This is Rose’s trap.

Taking a deep breath, I slowly opened my mouth.

In times like this, you need to react calmly.

“I don’t know what she was talking about, but Cecilia Rose is a natural braggart. Would your mother be surprised if she knew what kind of atrocities she committed when they met?”

“so? Kirk was surprised and called me… … I mean you seem very sick.”

Kirk! You bastard! f*ck you!

Oh, my head started pounding.

Damn orderly bastard… … I will definitely kill you when I return.

Damn, I should at least pretend to be sick.

I deliberately staggered as if I was about to fall.

“Oh, Sam! Are you okay?”

“Okay, it’s okay. no… Actually it’s not okay. May I go into the room for a minute?”

“No, let’s sit down and talk.”

no you don’t take this? oh let me go please

“… Actually, I stopped by for a while because I had something urgent to do at the Navy Headquarters. I have to go soon.”

“Did you? For some reason, I wanted to come early.”

Mother bowing her head sadly.

hurray! cheated!

In fact, I took care of everything I had to deal with right away, but what do I know? You could go and do something urgent. Anyway, it’s good to get out of this embarrassing situation.

“Then let’s talk quickly and finish. Come in.”

Help me.

Damn, if this is the case, I’m going to have to do some crazy cosplay.

He frowned with a tired face. However, the cold eyes like blades stared at me as if there was no sign of it. Rather, it was me who shuddered.

“Follow me.”

He lowered his head and trudged behind him.

Sitting down in a room that looked like a drawing room, the mother closed her eyes with a deep sigh.

“Why did you do that… You didn’t like the other person that much?”

“Not that… No, I didn’t like it.”

I couldn’t say that I liked the battlecruisers better.

Because I have the minimum dignity as a human being.

The mother shook her head, frowning in frustration.

At least, the family had a good first impression, but seeing them make an impression like that makes me feel bad too.

“sorry. still… I didn’t like the other person too much.”

“You didn’t even have to rant about it, did you? That’s not the behavior of a gentleman! Oh Samuel… No matter how much people curse you, isn’t it time to grow up?”

have no face

Still, it was fortunate that the previous body owner lived like a madman.

Because his personality is a piece of sh*t, he can be evasive.

Anyway, even your mother said, you’re a woman worse than a battlecruiser! It seems that you took it as an insult. I’m sure you didn’t seriously believe in loving battlecruisers.

It is still a century too early for such a trend to emerge.

“Anyway, next time we meet, be sure to apologize first.”

“What’s next?”

I opened my eyes wide at my mother’s words and asked again.

“You want to see her again?”

“then! No matter what happened last time, shouldn’t you apologize first? You hurled unbelievable rants!”

God damn it.

No, I don’t think it’s actually verbal abuse… … Are you hurt that much?

Anyway, it is a specification to be dragged back to the meeting place.

I shook my head with a disgusted face.

But all that came back was a sharp roar.

“Samuel! I’m not kidding!”

The mother, with a frown on her face, jumped out of her seat and stood up.

I was surprised at the same time and shrank. After glaring at her for a while, her mother let out a deep sigh and continued.

“Please, aren’t you grown up now? Just once is fine, so listen to this mother.”

Tears welled up on his face at his weak voice. no! The atmosphere becomes grim.

“Mother, that’s not… … .”

“done. It seems I didn’t raise you well. It’s all the mother’s fault.”

Going crazy. The servants around me also glanced at me. The atmosphere felt as if spears were pointed at me from all sides.

Inside the suffocating room, I finally bowed my head.

“all right. sorry. I will come back and apologize properly.”

Mother nodding her head with a confused face.

Fortunately, he didn’t say anything more. She ordered an attendant to get into the car.

“I hope it goes well this time.”

“Do not worry. I won’t worry you.”

answer honestly

But there’s no way.

Of course I will apologize. The iron apple. I’m going to throw out a very premature death so that I won’t be able to do it again.

Wait, Cecilia Rose… … .

What if I get braided again? Okay. You just have to cover your mouth somehow so no one knows.

I promised to give you memories that I will never forget for the rest of my life.

“Where is your father anyway?”

“Ah, he went down because he had some work in London. It’s time to come back soon… … .”

London? Why did all the old people go there?

Just when I had a premonition of something uneasy, someone burst through the front door out of nowhere.

“Samuel! Samuel Lewis!”

A loud voice echoed in the hallway. Mother sighs and stands up.

“You are here.”

As I stepped out into the hallway, a worried face appeared.

A father with an exceptionally white beard and full of laughter. He spreads his arms wide and approaches me.

“Congratulations! You won a great victory!”

“ah… thank you.”

He replied in a trembling voice. But on the inside, it was just disconcerting.

Did the person suddenly change? Come on?

He didn’t know my cryptic feelings, so he just tapped me on the back and continued.

“So, are you unscathed?”

“Yes, it is fine.”

Anyway, I’m very suspicious now that I’m here, but it’s fortunate that I’m not scolding. you should think good

It was a time when I was convincing myself while being caught up in a bland mood.

“Very good. What a great performance! I was a little uneasy when I said I would continue in the Navy, but if this happens, the story will change.”

An uneasy atmosphere prevailed.

I waved my hand and tried to dissuade him before the strange sound came out.

however,

“Let’s go to London! I’ll make a connection right now!”

… Could this be brain damage?

* * *

“I’m sorry, Sam.”

“no. I should have stopped by Naval Headquarters soon after all.”

In front of the gate, my mother looked out the door with bitter eyes next to me as I borrowed the hand of an attendant to straighten my coat. A cold wind shook the garden.

“Samuel, come on out!”

“yes! Get out now!”

A voice that resonates unchangingly even in such cold weather. Did you boil the train firebox? How can an old man be so lively?

As I thought about it with a tongue-in-cheek feeling, my mother continued.

“Please understand your father. There’s not much time left now. I hope you can adjust your mood for a while.”

“Do not worry. I’ll do it well and come back.”

That’s not wrong. Anyway, I had to see the face of the Secretary of the Navy sooner or later. I just think we’ll see you early.

I think it would be better to solve my father’s business at this time.

“How about stopping by Portsmouth on the way?”

“… I’ll think about it.”

I quickened my steps.

USA, White House.

Hoover stood in front of the mirror, straightening his coat, as a chilling wind brushed through the window. While adjusting his clothes with the help of his aides, he looked at a man reflected in the mirror with sharp eyes.

“What are you talking about? director.”

As pointed out by the bristling voice, U.S. Bureau of Investigation Director John “Edgar” Hoover smiled loosely.

“The South is noisy.”

Stopped, the president paused for a moment. Hard as ice, he nodded as if to continue.

“He’s starting to run amok.”

“Public opinion is rapidly deteriorating in Louisiana and neighboring states.”

“under! Public opinion was going to get worse here!”

The president let out a big laugh and then moaned while holding his throbbing head. Eventually, he sighed and asked the director.

“How about the North?”

“Excluding the protesters, it is still quiet. It’s quiet, but it’s a problem.”

“Is it Soviet?”

The director nodded.

“I don’t know which side, but for now, that side seems to be the most likely.”

“Of course. Because that’s the only Reds left.”

After straightening his coat, President Hoover sighed for a moment and thought.

The remnants of Quebec dared to roam the territory of the United States. It is unforgivable. They must all be rooted out.

But the North was a different story.

Even if they are the same Communist Party, they are the same American people. Rather, if it is an uninvited guest from the outside, it may take rather harsh measures. But can’t we aim guns and knives at the people?

Of course, the military is mobilizing, but I never thought of using force.

They are a role that gives pressure through majesty to the last. A barricade, nothing more, nothing less.

That is why the French Communist Party hiding among the protesters in the north was the most undesirable case. The director of the Bureau of Investigation continued as if he knew the president’s anxiety.

“Still, it seems that the remnants of the French Communist Party have escaped rampage in the north.”

“Are you two not getting along?”

“It’s not like that, but it’s not good either.”

The president shook his head at the ambiguous answer. However, the thing I was most concerned about didn’t seem to happen, so I decided to be content with that for now.

“Anyway, it’s too much to do in the south. I hope Huey doesn’t get wind of it.”

Eyes sharpened sharply.

Staring at it, the Director of the Bureau of Investigation nodded slightly.

“What’s going on with the demonstrators in the north?”

“It seems clear that the Communist Party is involved.”

This is the answer I was expecting. The president smiled and smiled.

“Did you find any evidence?”

“I am in the process of making it. In one month, Your Excellency will be able to drive them out for good cause.”

“good. Bring it back within a week.”

What matters is awareness. If the legitimacy of the protests is diluted, they will lose some momentum. If you can buy even a week of valuable time, you still have a chance.Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

President Hoover cleared his throat and turned his head to the window.

“In the meantime, MacArthur will deal with the protesters. He’s a seasoned master, so he’ll be able to solve it well.”

“… Your Excellency, as I’ve said before, I think it’s a bit risky to entrust it to the military.”

hesitant voice.

At the words of the director of the Bureau of Investigation, the president frowned. With a worried gaze, the director hesitantly asked.

“Why don’t you leave it to the state police right now?”

“Isn’t it something that someone might be hiding among the protesters? This should be left to the experts.”

determined face.

Eventually, the president raised his eyes and looked at the director with a light smile.

“And he’s in a completely different field than you. isn’t it? A friend who will do nothing to harm you.”

“It’s not like that… … .”

Apparently, the President seems to think lightly of him.

But the director couldn’t believe it.

A chilly feeling passed through his mind.

It was the moment when I was caught up in frustration and tried to add something.

“dismissal! It’s urgent!”

The sound Hoover hated the most had burst through the door of the Oval Office.

* * *

London, Naval Headquarters.

The sound of cold breathing came and went in the room, which was heated by the fireplace. Looking at the shadow reflected in the dim window, I quietly blinked.

“What did you just say… ?”

Hearing the alarmed voice, he engraved the scenery around him in his eyes again.

Several admirals surrounded on all sides. And the Secretary of the Navy sitting at his desk and staring with heavy eyes. All kinds of papers are scattered on the desk, probably having an important conversation.

And right in front of me, my father, his white beard trembling with his eyes wide open.

With all eyes on one body, I slowly opened my mouth again.

“I said I would not leave the Navy.”

Just in case, I took a deep breath and added a word.

“Even after the war is over.”
