( Check out my other Channel: )

----------

The next day morning.

The Iron Blood volunteers have arrived.

2 Battleships, 1 Cruiser, 1 Destroyer, 1 Aircraft Carrier, and 1 Submarine.

And that is...

KMS Bismarck

KMS Tirpitz

KMS Roon

KMS Z23

KMS Graf Zeppelin

KMS U-47

For some reason for the Battleship position, they opted to go with Friedrich Der Große but Bismarck said she wanted to see the now Modern German Navy and see how they work and their experience ocean seas.

In the briefing.

"Alright guys this is your first time being far outside of the island but I am sure you will be just safe because this is only a Joint Military Training Exercise."

"As we reach the German Navy fleet they consist of Six frigates, Three Submarines, and 1 Auxiliary Ship. And that said Auxiliary Ship will be our transport to the German Fleet."

"And as we arrive there, just don't do anything troublesome when you're there. I have three commanders there that I am acquainted with."

"Does anybody have that?"

"Ja, Kommandant." Everyone said unison

"Ja, Shikikan-sama~. Huhu~." (Roon)

Yamatomo felt very uncomfortable with Roon's small chuckle but he shook his head anyway.

"Herr Kommandant, may ask a question?" Bismarck said

"What's your question?" (Yamatomo)

"What's the German Navy's flagship? Or the main buffer ship in their navy?" (Bismarck)

"Well for your question there is actually none but in speculation, every time they did a J.M.T.E, they would send their DM (Deutsch Marine) Mecklenburg-Vorpommer or the DM Schleswig-Holstein as their flagship. And both of the ships I said are Brandenburg class ships."

"Then three kommanders you are acquainted with are there. What ships do they operate?"

"Uhh.... I think it's a DM Lübeck, DM Hamburg, and DM Hessen." (Yamatomo)

"Are there any Aircraft carriers in their fleet?" (Graf Zeppelin)

"Sadly no, they don't have the right materials and manpower to build one."

"Huh. Well that's sad." (Graf Zeppelin)

"Well, even without the carriers they have superior technology than any other country, it's just that they don't have the manpower to build things so they just sell to buyers if they can make something out of their technology. Just like most Military equipment that came from Germany." (Yamatomo)

"Any other questions."

"None, Kommandant."

After 30 minutes of waiting the transportation boat arrived and was docked at their port.

As the bridge was lowered, three commanders came down on the lowered bridge.

As Yamatomo and the Iron Blood ships approach them, Yamatomo's three acquainted commanders see Yamatomo.

"Eeyy, it's Yamatomo."

"HEEEY!"

They smiled and greeted each other and they messed around a little bit.

"*Ahem* Kommandant." (Bismarck)

"Oh, I forgot. Girls meet Björn, Fiete, David. Guys meet the girls. Bismarck, Roon, Graf Zeppelin, Tirpitz, uhh...." He looked at Z23 and U-47. He doesn't know their names other than their ship number

"What are you both called again?"

"Nimi." (Z23 - Nimi)

"I don't have one. They just called me "U"." (U-47)

His three German friends looked.

"Wow, you're a cruel man when not naming her." (Fiete)

"Shut up!"

"*Sigh* What a poor girl." David then approaches her "What about I call you Elea? That suits you more." He said.

U-47 thinks for a bit. It's better than getting called U so she goes for that.

"Alright. Now both parties please introduce yourselves."

"My name is David Mueller, Rank Flottillen­admiral. Commander of the DM Lübeck. Nice to meet you."

"My name is Fiete Steinitz, also Rank Flottillen­admiral. Commander of the DM Hessen. Nice to meet you all."

"My name is Björn Schoenberg, I rank above these two, rank Konter­admiral. I hope we can build a better friendship between our Navy's."

As the three German commanders introduce themselves. They are met with unimpressed, no-amused faces.

The three looked at Yamatomo. Then huddled.

"Hey, Hey, Yamatomo. What did we do to provoke them? What did we do?" Björn asked Yamatomo

"Long story short, They hate you more than they hate me." (Yamatomo)

"So that's the case huh? What the hell happened? We just briefed that we are gonna team up with an Organization called Azur Lane and that's it." (David)

"I'll brief you when we get to your fleet. Right now it's their turn to introduce themselves."

"Got it."

As they stopped their discussion Yamatomo then said.

"Ladies. Please introduce yourselves. This is a friendly meeting." (Yamatomo)

As long as they hate male shikikans these three are friends with Yamatomo so they might be the same.

Also Iron Blood Pride mode ON.

"Guten Tag, I am Bismarck. A Bismarck-Class Battleship. Allow me to prove that Iron Blood engineering is the finest in the world, no matter the battlefield. Eager to see for yourself?" (Bismarck)

"Let that wait for now, M-Miss Bismarck." (Björn)

" I am Tirpitz, I am a sister ship of Bismarck and another Bismarck-class ship. Nice to meet you."

"I'm Z23, the eldest sister of the 1936 A-class destroyers. Unlike my sisters before me, who all had a namesake, my younger sisters and I only had a serial code for our names. But now I am called Nimi now. So you can call me Nimi."

"I'm U-47. An Iron Blood Submarine." That was a simple introduction

"I am Graf Zeppelin. Though this name is worth little, you may call me by it if you wish. I don't care. It doesn't stain my pride."

And lastly, it's Roon's turn'.

"I am Roon, the Iron Blood cruiser. In a far-off world, I never existed beyond the drawing board but I never thought I'd end up here. So hello." As for the introduction, the three German commanders looked at each other.

They huddled again but without Yamatomo.

"Roon? I never heard of a KMS ship named Roon?" David said.

"Me too." (Björn)

This somehow made Roon triggered a bit because she heard what they were saying.

But Yamatomo hold her back saying "Let me take care of this, Roon."

And then...

*SMACK!*

*SMACK!*

"You two didn't do extensive research huh? You idiots."

"What? We aren't knowledgeable enough to know anything? It's just that we don't even remember a KMS ship named Roon." Björn exclaimed.

"Idiots. Roon actually exists as a "Kaiserliche Marine" ship, not a Kriegsmarine ship. She is a German Dreadnought in World War 1, with another Roon-class dreadnought battleship named Yorck. The reason why she is forgotten is I don't want to even wanna mention it. But let's say this." He then gestures for them to lean closer as he whispers quietly

""Brainwashed H*tler Youth that only knows to kill". She is a special case that we couldn't afford to piss off. You guys got that."

"Ja..." (Fiete)

"Jawohl...." (Björn)

"Right, I'll keep my mouth shut for now." (David)

"Now that everyone is well Acquainted. Let's hop on the boat and start the military exercise." Yamatomo said.

As he and the others hopped on the boat, they started to go toward the German Navy fleet.

Time skip.

As they got there. They meet the Senior Fleet commander named Lukas Zschökke. Only that Yamatomo realize he is Swiss German.

As of now, they are in the middle of the ocean.

To start things off all of the commanders including Yamatomo's chosen Kriegsmarine fleet gathered on the flagship.

The fleet commander did some briefings on what they would do and as he finished briefing everyone he went to Yamatomo and the girls.

"Ladies and gents. Watch us as the German Navy fire at that Dummy ship there." As he pointed, Yamatomo and the others saw a wooden dummy ship.

"For the girls, this is what we called "Guided Missiles" and their general purpose is Anti-ship. A rocket that can definitely destroy a ship into pieces. Watch and learn as we are gonna fire three guided missiles at the dummy ship. Each to the front middle and back."

"Now let's get started." As Lukas used the radio to signal the operator.

"Bitte bereiten Sie die Raketen vor. Zielscheibe "Holzpuppe"." Lukas gave the signal ( Translate - Please ready the missiles. Target "wooden dummy". )

"Ja, Herr Kommandant. Abfeuern einer Guilded-Rakete auf eine "Holzattrappe" in drei ... zwei ... eins ... Abfeuern." ( Translate - Yes sir commander. Firing Guilded missile at "wooden dummy" in three.... two.... one.... Firing. )

As the missile silo door opened immediately, three rockets burst out of the missile silo and there they go. Flying towards their target.

As the rockets hit the dummy boat three explosions will be heard from afar.

"Es ist ein bestätigter Hit Commander. Das Dummy-Schiff sinkt jetzt" the operator said to Lukon on the radio.

"Danke." As he looked at Yamatomo and the others.

"So, what's your opinion?" Lukas said to them.

"A very impressive weapon for this era's ship. I'm genuinely impressed." (Tirpitz)

"No doubt doubt about it, sister." (Bismarck)

"Question" Graf Zeppelin raised her hands.

"What's your question miss?" (Lukas)

"I am Graf Zeppelin and my question is, how can it hit a moving target? That was a stationary target." (Graf Zeppelin)

"As its name says, "Guided Missile", yes it can target a moving target." (Lukas)

"Then how will the ship defend itself against those "guided missiles" when they can't even escape it." Nimi then adds another question.

"And your name is?" (Lukas)

"Nimi, sir."

"Well Miss Nimi, we have these things called CIWS or a Close-in Weapon System. A system that acts as both AA and missile defense. But the CIWS is still in its earlier stages because it only has a 70% chance of destroying incoming missiles." (Lukas)

"But still the chance is still high. You have to be unlucky enough to let that missile go through to destroy your ship." (Nimi)

"Yes. Now moving on to our main guns."

"What you are seeing now is our modern main guns. Unlike before like since World War 2 we have calibers above 300mm or 400mm. Now we have calibers below 200mm and a minimum caliber of 100mm"

"But unlike before we shoot single volleys these modern guns are rapid fire. Reloading them is faster now and the accuracy has increased."

"We would like you to demonstrate our main guns."

"Currently, this ship, Flottillen­admiral Fiete's ship, and Flottillen­admiral David's ship main guns are now targeting that dummy boat."

As he signaled them again to fire a demonstration.

The three ships opened fire in a rapid-fire motion. Every shot manages to hit the dummy boat.

"Amazing...." The Iron Blood ship girls are shocked.

"Does Agïr even survive this?" (Nimi)

"Now that we showed you our German Navy prowess it's now your turn to show us. So.... Where are your vessels?" Lukas asked a stupid question till Yamatomo held his shoulder.

"Mister, Fleet Commander might as well tell you this but they are also warships." (Yamatomo)

"Was?" ( Translate - What? )

"These are warships I'm telling you. Warships that got turned into girls for some reason that I don't know. Have you ever get a clue why their names are your ships since World War 2?" (Yanatomo)

"The name "Bismarck" is common in Germany, Tirpitz, and Graf Zeppelin is questionable. And the two young girls name Nimi and Elea is here. And the other one with shoulder cut hair is Roon is another thing." (Lukas)

"Let me brief you for a minute. These are Kriegsmarine ships. KMS Bismarck, KMS Graf Zeppelin, KMS Tirpitz, and Roon is a German dreadnought but might as well call her a KMS now. For Nimi and Elea? They are a special case because these names are given to them. Nimi's real name is a German destroyer serial number called Z23 and Elea is German U-boat, serial number U-47. Did you get that?" (Yamatomo)

"I understand clearly, mister Yamatomo." (Lukas)

Yamatomo pats his shoulder and they went back to the conversation.

"As your Commander, Admiral Yamatomo said you are ships, uhh... How?" (Lukas)

"Watch and learn. You'll be impressed by the superiority of the Iron blood."

As the girls stand up they then walk to the edge of the boat.

"What are you doing?" Said a little bit concerned Lukas.

*Proceeds to Jump of the ship*

"HEY!!" The fleet commander rushed to the side of the ship and saw that they were hovering on water like Jesus. Now they have these metallic things that appeared behind them.

"I already seen them Senior Fleet Commander Lukas. At first, I too have a similar reaction. Also, the metallic monster-like things that appeared are their riggings. The cannons you see are their main weapon. They also have these buff skills but let's not talk about that."

"Wh-what?" Lukas is speechless.

Yamatomo then grabs a loudspeaker.

"Alright girls. Show them what you got."

"Jawohl kommandant."

As they were off to the dummy ship. Their main guns opened fire at the dummy ship. As their shots landed huge explosions that seemed impossible for their gun's size occured.

Graf Zeppelin then summoned torpedo bombers and dive bombers.

Nobody expected that Graf Zeppelin would send out a plane that nobody would have heard in this era before.

The JU-87 Stuka.

As the dive bomber dives into the dummy ship. The plane released its bombs as it ascended. More explosions.

And now to top it all off Roon destroyed everything.

Many sailors and commanders have their mouths opened.

"H-How am I gonna report this to top command?"

"Oh, I don't know. Let's say a girl rode a metal shark that shoots torpedoes. Two Bismarck-class ship's guns shoot high explosives even with their size. A carrier ship girl summoned the most terrifying plane since World War 2. And a ship girl that deleted a dummy ship in seconds and she has a metallic monstrosity that can even kill a fucking man in seconds." (Yamatomo)

"The fuck did I just see?" (Lukas

"You just saw your World War 2 ships have revived as girls but stronger and faster." (Yamatomo)

"This wasn't in my briefing?" (Lukas)

"Come on, get up. I'm sure your other commanders have the same reaction." As he helped Lukas get up on his feet they then continued their training exercise.

What side is impressed the most?

The German Navy is impressed.

Impressed that their century-old warships have gotten this strong. And also beautiful.

As they return to port the Iron Blood ships have this huge grin on their faces. As if they actually enjoyed their time with the now-modern German navy.

The next day will be the Japanese JMSDF Navy and the Sakura Empire Navy.
