For Commander Błyskawica walking down the hallway to the Commander's room, it was a grim day. Back! for Commander Katarzyna "Błyskawica" Grom, it was the most annoying day she's ever had as a human being. What caused this attitude? Namely, two annoying things. The first was a complaint from a Deutch Marine that Piorun had passed herself off in a fight with Bismarck again. Not that this was anything out of the ordinary. More than one shipgirls on unresolved issues and get into fights frequently. The problem was that this was a fight between the N-class destroyer ORP Piorun and a damn battleship! What's even funnier is that by some miracle the Piorun won and the Bismarck developed a fear of lightning.

Damn Brit! Does she always and everywhere have to show us that she is more Polish than Polishness? Although it's a bit hypocritical of me, after all none of us are purely Polish we come from foreign shires, well except maybe my unfinished sisters, May the Lord shine on their spirits and allow us to have them. Back bloody Piorun you fucking moron. Minor. The bigger problem is this damn experiment.

After a long while, she reached her destination with a head full of typical Polish complaining. After knocking, she got permission to enter the room where she saw her commander sitting behind the desk and planning what to do with his small forces so the politicians wouldn't beat his ass for poor defense. -Kurwa ich jebana mać! - Shouted the commander. -General Pluta, Komandor Grom reports with new news- said calmly and saluting Błyskawica, accustomed to the outbursts of her commander, more sympathizing with him in this role than looking at him with dislike. Which at the same time reassured her, always knowing that there was someone else who cared about this brothel.

Commanding shipgirls is never easy, even with as many as Poland has, and add to this the fact that in Poland shipgirls are not part of the Navy as in other countries but part of the Special Forces, and the commander of the Polish Stateczkami as they are officially called in Poland is someone who comes from the Land Forces and you have a picture of real madness for foreigners and for Poles it is part of the already traditional brothel in the Polish Army. Why the commander of the Polish Shipgirls is someone from the Army and not a sailor and why are they not part of the Navy? You may ask. Well, the answer is damn simple and idiotically easy and that is the general misery and despair of the Navy combined with their ridiculously small budget which was reduced by successive governments in favor of the Army. Not that the Army itself was in a better financial condition, the lack of doctrine prior to the advent of the Abyssal for the Navy, and simply the fact that Projekt Statecznik has been funded by Special Forces since its inception. The Navy was not overly interested in the design and novelty from Japan, and the low budget did not help.

-So what do you have to say Komandor? -General Pluta asked. Calming himself after the outburst of anger -I report that Piorun has already been punished by me for the incident with Bismarck and has been obliged to apologize for seriously injuring an ally.- Katarzyna answered him. -I understand and what about the Gryf experiment? Does he have any explanation as to how it happened and what should I tell the Chief of Staff and the Minister of National Defense?- said the General.

-The Gryf says that the experiment was a success, and that it was due to a flare which appeared to send out electrical energy from the area, and that it was stronger than they had anticipated and the thickness of the shield was not enough, fortunately the worst part of the explosion was absorbed by that unfortunate shield,‖ said Lightning. -How much damage was avoided- asked the general and hastily taking notes so he would know what to say. -According to Gryf, if she had made a mistake the wave would have turned off the electricity in the whole province and would have fried all the electricity within 15 km from the general smiled to himself - I hope this will convince the politicians to give money for a decent research station in the Sowie Mountains, as Gryf suggested.- She shrugged her shoulders -If the public were to "accidentally" find out about the sudden power outage in the entire Tri-Cities, it would certainly force a reaction from the deplorable MPs.

Finishing the notes Pluta said- Cieplinski told me that he had ways of doing it- Błyskawica nodded- Well he is the chief of staff, why should I be surprised after all he was the one who translated it to the Minister. A little leak about why this happened will help us a lot.- She finished with a giggle. Putting the paper back in his pocket, the commander said -Never mind, leave the political war to our beloved politicians and staff. How are our new charges? - After a short hesitation the Kommandor said - Apart from the shock of getting a human body and how our version of Poland looks like, they are in good condition. They are eager to fight, although we may have a problem of a political nature - After that she pulled out her briefcase from under her arm. Intrigued, he took the folder and opened it and began to read the documents.

-I see what you mean,- he said calmly and then the Commander smiled, -It will give us a little more breathing room, but it's still not enough, do we know how many girls like them there are?- Hearing this Błyskawica replied, -We do, General, they say there are still some ships that can be summoned from them,- the General nodded, -Good, let's make a list of them so the Gryf knows who to summon. Anything else you have to say? - She shook her head. - No General. - Pluta took the papers to take care of them. - You may leave Komandor and tell them to report to my office at seven o'clock and don't worry no one will take them. - Yes sir. - She saluted and left Lightning remembering to take her briefcase with her. Now let's have a rest, preferably with a bottle of vodka. Now let's take a break, preferably with a bottle of vodka I need to get drunk. Błyskawica thought to improve her mood.

-It's time to get on with this boring job,- said the general gloomily to himself. -Well, at least I don't ever have as much of it as some people do.- he giggled to himself as he remembered the Admirals, especially one from Japan.

Japan
Yokosuka
Admiral's Office

An unexpected and loud sneeze interrupted the office. -All right, Teikoku? -A brown-haired, fast armored Battleships jumped up and down as soon as Admiral Goto sneezed. -I'm fine Kongou, I just have a nose itch- Then he felt a shiver run through him and the feeling that someone was laughing at him.-Strange- said the Admiral and then returned to the endless struggle with the papers.- I have Kongou to see you..." said Oyodo, but she noticed that just as Kongou mysteriously appeared, she disappeared. -It doesn't matter, I'll take care of you later. She muttered then went back to dealing with the papers.

Another chapter behind us. And now the glossary.
Błyskawica-Lightning
Burza-Storm
Wicher-Whirlwind
Grzmot-Thunder
Zamieć-Blizzard
The names of the destroyers have been given according to the Polish tradition of naming destroyers after weather phenomena, but don't worry, more will appear,
Komandor, Kapitan- why did I leave their ranks in Polish and not the general? Because General is the same as in the USA or UK and it's the same level of responsibility, it's completely different with Polish Komandor and Kapitan. You see, a Polish Kapitan in the US and ROYAL NAVY is a Lieutenant and a Komandor is a Captain. I did this to avoid misunderstandings.

Edit 25.04.2021 Fixed an error with the ship type/class name from Burza to Wicher.

And at the end I wish you a nice time when you read this.
