I Became a Captain of the British Empire

If you leave home, you’ll be a high school student, but… .

cold breath. A sharp gaze crosses all directions. Silence as if the whole room was frozen.

Blinking in embarrassment, the father immediately turned his head and said,

“Minister, my son just made a mistake… … .”

“No, Minister. I mean my sincerity without any lies.”

Of course, I’m not the one who was watching.

He immediately stopped talking and approached the Secretary of the Navy.

A face full of wrinkles stares straight at me.

“Of course, the people at the top will take care of my treatment, but I am saying this because I do not want my intentions to be misrepresented. We apologize for any unnecessary confusion.”

When I lowered my head, no more voices were heard. When I opened my eyes and looked around, everyone seemed to be taken aback.

A father who can’t do anything with his eyes wide open as if he was full of energy. The admirals don’t understand what’s going on and look at our rich man with a puzzled look.

Only the Secretary of the Navy in front of me was staring at me with wolf-like eyes full of seasoned senses.

“That’s what it means… ?”

When the minister opened his mouth in a heavy voice, the father finally came to his senses and shook his hand as he approached.

“Minister! It’s not… … .”

At that moment, a knock sounded in the room.

“Come in.”

“Urgent news!”

Suddenly, the young officer opened the door and entered. I stride across the room and approach an admiral. A whispering officer. Soon, the admiral’s expression darkened.

The atmosphere is awful.

I quietly stared at the two of them. In time, the admiral whispered the same to the Secretary of the Navy.

“… Is that true?”

The admiral nodded. The Secretary of the Navy frowned as if lost in thought. I don’t know what’s going on, but it seems like something happened that I can’t ignore.

As expected, Churchill, who was lost in thought for a moment, opened his mouth after looking alternately at the two father and son.

“I’d better go for today. Let’s talk again later.”

The conversation ended just like that.

The father, who was dumbfounded, trudged out of the room, chased by the cold eyes. As I was following him, the Secretary of the Navy suddenly tapped me on the shoulder. When I turned my head, he called me in a low voice.

“Hey Admiral, I don’t think you care much about housework. However, I would like to resolve it quickly and return.”

After taking a quick look around, he continued.

“It is important.”

Seeing the sad eyes, I nodded my head obediently.

Late evening, Leicestershire.

“What the hell are you talking about!”

bang-

As the tablecloth was overturned, the eldest member of the old Lewis family shouted.

“Honey, calm down.”

“What kind of calm is calm! What a disgrace that young bastard gave me!”

A voice that pierces the ceiling. The attendants stand still with their heads bowed around them, and the mother barely tries to dissuade the father, but shows no signs of listening.

It was expected, so it’s not too surprising. However, I wonder how long that energy will remain.

I didn’t want to make things worse, so I quietly listened to what he had to say.

I wonder how far it will go

“So, you want to continue in the Navy? good night! very good! But how long did you think you would remain in the military without my protection? How long do you think I can look after you?”

Oh sh*t, I almost laughed out loud.

Are you saying that to the admiral now?

First of all, I think I know roughly how the original Samuel Lewis maintained his officer position. Aside from the fact that the original edition was a talent trap, it seems that he looked after him with the few connections he had in the family.

But things are different now. I have no intention of elevating myself, but looking at it objectively, my major is not small. At least, they are at a level where they can stand on their own without connections.

Even my mother, who was at least awake, heard that.

“Sam doesn’t have to use his hands anymore. Things have changed.”

“They’re going to suck up the sweet water and throw it away! I’ll sell him right after the war ends!”

Then it’s enough to eat the severance pay and go to sleep. If I could make money writing something like a memoir, it would be pretty cool. Of course, apart from whether the Navy Headquarters will abandon me as they said.

Anyway, as if he hadn’t even thought about grasping the situation, my father, who was out of breath, pointed at me with trembling hands and shouted.

“Samuel! listen to me! Your grandfather was also in the navy. He was a capable officer. But what happened? Did he even have a small intestine? no!”

My father shouted so much that his eyes looked bloodshot. Taking a deep breath, he sighed and spoke.

“The military organization is a series of endless competitions. Samuel, think carefully.”

That’s right. The military is not such a light-hearted organization. A place where you shouldn’t easily set foot without sufficient resolution. It is a place where talented people who will give their lives for the country compete with each other.

But I am also standing here with that determination.

This is my second life given to me. The navy of the era of battleships, which was not hoped for either.

Even if it means dying, I have no intention of taking this opportunity.

… More than anything, I was curious about the old father’s true intentions. Are you really worried about the future of me, no, this son of ‘Samuel Lewis’?

“Father wants to see our family grow up again before he dies. There is no need to gamble on that dangerous battlefield!”

Or is it the fear that the gold you invested will not run away?

All of a sudden, a thought like that popped into my head.

“I don’t like it.”

A voice was heard. It wasn’t anyone else. It belonged to me, Samuel Lewis.

A house in which silence flows quickly. Everyone is paying attention with their eyes wide open.

I quickly turned my head and rejected the pouring eyes. As I left the hallway, I hinted at my mother.

“I’ll go out for a while.”

No answer was heard.

It’s not what I was expecting in the first place. I just move my feet randomly.

As I approached the front door, I heard belated shouts accompanied by thumping footsteps.

“Samuel!”

Dad jumped out of the hallway. He pursed his lips as much as he could, and pointed at me with a firm voice and shouted.

“The moment you step out the door, you and I are strangers!”

Fierce eyes pouring out as if they were determined.

I was a little surprised.

It’s a pretty strong number.

No matter how foolish you are, it’s hard to imagine completely cutting ties with your family. Quite a bold move with risks.

And it was also something I hadn’t hoped for.

“Let it be.”

I walked out the front door with light steps.

* * *

The cold night wind brushes your face. I let out a sigh as I looked up at the starlit sky.

“You really don’t know the world, Kirk.”

“… It really is.”

Pulling over to the side of the road on a scenic mountain pass, I quietly leaned against the front trunk.

I can still vividly see the face of my father who couldn’t stop shaking in his pupils as if he was about to faint. No, now that you’ve cut ties, are you just an old man?

Anyway, I was in a good mood, so I went outside for a while to get some fresh air.

“Admiral… ?”

“huh?”

Kirk’s voice creeping in.

“Are you sure you want to leave the house?”

“Uh, yes.”

After answering in a calm voice, he let out a small sigh.

“There’s nothing wrong with your allowance, don’t worry.”

To be honest, there was some hesitation.

After all, didn’t I forcibly take someone else’s body?

I felt that way even more when I was treated as family by people I didn’t even know.

However, the moment I answered that stupid father’s words, I realized one thing.

I instinctively rejected him.

So my body rejected him. Even if I had no thoughts, my mouth moved like rigor mortis.

then you have to follow I think that is the least courtesy to the original body owner.

“The sky is clear.”

Looking at the Milky Way flowing along the clouds, I murmured softly.

I really don’t know what the truth is. Isn’t the original owner dead? If so, where are you hiding?

am i really me?

… that’s bullsh*t too

I shook my head and cleared my thoughts.

I already have a new body, so there’s no need to waste time on this. Even if you wrap your head around it and think about it, the answer won’t come out.

Above all, what needs to be done now is clear.

“So, is our friend’s head clear now?”

“… sorry.”

Looking at Kirk with his forehead on the ground and his back raised like a shrimp, I crouched down and said.

“I asked if you became clear, but why did you answer like that?”

“It seems to have cleared up.”

“Then you haven’t hit it yet.”

Kirk gritted his teeth and convulsed. The guy should thank me. It’s like telling the advanced civilization to the guy who repaid the favor with the enemy.

This is a tactic that will be the basis of the strategic air force, called Wonsan bombing. I don’t know if he has a connection with the Air Force, but at least it won’t hurt to know. Absolutely no personal feelings intervened.

Anyway, I didn’t even think about the basin up to my waist, so I released it right away.

“Get in the car. Let’s move.”

Kirk groaned and stood up.

Hopefully it was a good experience, I sat in the passenger seat.

Kirk, who was behind the wheel with a painful face, asked in a crawling voice.

“excuse me… Where are you going?”

“Navy Headquarters.”

“yes?”

embarrassing face. Blinking his eyes, he asked again.

“But aren’t you on vacation?”

“My family is this little girl, so what kind of vacation is this?”

“No, but… … .”

“We are in a hurry, so let’s go quickly.”

“Yes, yep!”

Background running down the road.Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Passing through the pitch-black darkness, he continued to ask.

“Anyway, what do you want to report?”

“Yep, the news is that Repulse’s repairs are nearing completion. We’re going to have a test voyage and armament test sometime next week.”

Receive and open the report. Quite a dense amount. He said he had good news, but he seems to be saying this.

By the way, is Repulse still under my command? Perhaps an official fleet name will be decided soon.

There was a part that suddenly got stuck in slowly turning over the report.

“Armed test?”

“Yes, it is a new gun. The main gun installed on the hood… … .”

“Ah, I guess.”

I nodded my head while looking at the turret blueprint and attached documents on the side of the report.

15-inch 42 caliber turret Mark 2. It is a turret with an increased range by raising the angle of elevation by 30 degrees. As a bonus, the thickness of the armor is also increased.

The Royal Navy has yet to equip only the hood.

The gun’s performance enabled Hood to outrange enemy standard battleships during the naval battles off Newfoundland early in the war.

Anyway, it seems that Repulse also has stock. Maybe they’re serving it as a prototype before fitting it on other ships. This is good news either way.

“But now, the range worry has decreased a little.”

“I also replaced the key with a spare device… The schedule went faster than expected, but it should be fine.”

“Who vouches for that?”

However, the fact that the work progressed a little quickly was something that was uncomfortable.

Isn’t there some kind of poor construction?

“… I hope there are no problems.”

Looking up at the distant night sky, I said like a sigh.

London, Naval Headquarters.

I feel like I’m meeting a lot of the fat Navy Minister in front of me these days.

However, without a chance to be caught up in such thoughts, I stiffened my back stiffly in the quiet air of the office.

“The matter is simple.”

Shhh, Secretary of the Navy Churchill passing the paper.

I looked at it and picked it up. Before my eyes could scan the text, he spoke like lightning.

“France suffered a crushing defeat on the ground.”

Elang was Elang.
