He is the commander and the admiral.

The mission of infiltration and rescue was assigned to the Royal Family, and Enterprise had no objection. Although this mission was very suitable for improving favorability, as the Prince of Wales said, as long as the White Eagle showed up, it would be able to attract the other party's attention, giving the Royal Family a better chance to rescue the commander.

"Then we will go and make preparations first. Once the personnel arrangements are completed, we will take action immediately."

After both parties agreed on the time, they ended the communication and began to prepare for the rescue operation.

In the Royal Navy's port area, when Elizabeth learned that Roger had been captured, she was so angry that she started cursing.

"This stupid servant! What on earth did he do? He actually let the enemy capture him like this! He really didn't consider his own actions at all. How stupid is he? Forget it! Befa! Take your men and bring that stupid servant to me right now! I will teach him a lesson!"

"learn."

Chapter 69: Agreeing on the use of power

"You won't do anything excessive, right?"

When Roger learned that he would have to do some checks on Xiao Beifang, he was worried that it was something bad, but Akashi assured him that it was just a very common type.

"Don't worry, Akashi won't do anything bad, meow. Commander, you can watch from the side, or even do the inspection together."

"No... I don't need it. Is it really okay? Can I not use it?"

"This is Akagi's idea. Anyway, Akashi can't refuse. And you, the commander, are watching from the side. If there is any problem, you will know it, meow."

Realizing that he couldn't refuse, Roger looked helpless. He carried Xiao Beifang out of the room and went to the research laboratory where he was going to examine Xiao Beifang.

While Roger was observing the instruments inside, Mingshi instructed him to carry Xiao Beifang to a recliner. After Xiao Beifang lay down on the recliner, she looked at an instrument with curiosity as it scanned her from head to toe. Mingshi was pressing buttons in front of the display screen and processing the scanned data.

"Meow? What are these?"

Akashi looked at the various abnormal data displayed on the screen in front of him and felt that it had nothing to do with the ship's data. No, it couldn't even be considered a ship at all.

Seeing this situation, Akashi frowned, and then looked at Roger beside him who had no reaction at all, and seemed not surprised at all by such a situation.

"It seems that the commander has anticipated this situation. Did he take any special protective measures?"

"No, I have never done that kind of thing. Even this kind of body scan is the first time for Xiao Beifang."

"Then her abnormal data was not caused by the Commander, meow?"

"Of course not. Why would I do something like this? This peculiar data situation is because she is not a ship. It is very strange to compare the data of a ship with that of a land base."

"Land base? Commander, you said this kid is a land base?! But how was it built, meow!"

Akashi was a little stunned. Could this other world be so powerful that it could turn a land base into the same level as these ship girls? What was even more strange was how did Brie build a land base as a ship? This didn't make sense at all!

"I do not know."

Roger spread his hands to express that he also couldn't understand this matter, but the situation was now in front of him, and if he had cared about it in the past, he would have been stuck in a dead end.

"So is there anything else to do?"

"No... No, meow. Ming Shi doesn't know how to continue."

"So how is the current investigation going?"

Roger leaned over and whispered in Akashi's ear.

"This matter has not been dealt with yet. Akagi spent a lot of time on the arrangement of the technique. Even if Akashi wants to figure it all out, it will take some time, meow."

Roger felt a little disappointed when he heard the result, but he knew that it was useless to worry about this matter.

"So what about the actions of the Royal and White Eagle shipgirls?"

"White Eagle has already taken action. As for the Royal Navy, it seems that they have also sent out ship girls, but I don't know what they are doing. Most of the attention has been attracted to White Eagle, meow."

"Ha... Let's just hope we can get out before things get too serious."

Roger picked up Xiao Beifang from the recliner and prepared to leave the laboratory. When he walked out the door, he saw Akagi standing at the door, which frightened Roger so much that he took a few steps back.

"Do I look scary? Commander of Azur Lane."

Akagi looked at Roger's reaction and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"I don't think it's necessary to ask this question. As long as you see my reaction just now, you will understand what the result will be. Besides, you are not really going to do anything, right?"

Roger nervously hugged little Beifang in his arms, and at the same time worried whether Akagi had heard the conversation just now.

"Please rest assured, your personal safety can be guaranteed. After all, I really have no interest in doing anything to you."

After hearing this, Roger not only did not relax, but became even more nervous.

"Really? For me, no, but Xiao Beifang should have left, otherwise he wouldn't have asked for an inspection like this."

"This is inevitable. You should be very clear about the benefits of technology. For example, Siren's technology has provided us with a lot of new technologies, which has greatly improved our technical level."

"Similarly, the value of this ship girl from another world is also very high. Not only is her birth special, but she also has that magical power. If we can master it, we can gain new power and even change the world. At that time, we can even expel and eliminate the Sirens."

"It's a bit hard to believe when you say this. Besides, what do you mean by suddenly telling me this?"

Roger didn't think that Akagi suddenly said these words to him on a whim. There must be some other reason why he told him these things.

"Then let me be frank. We need the power of the Deep Sea Princess, and we sincerely hope that you can help us. After all, in my opinion, your willingness to use this power means that you don't care about the good or bad of this power, but you care more about how to use it, right? Compared with those people in Azur Lane, you are undoubtedly more in line with our point of view in this regard."

"This guy simply doesn't intend to study and use Siren's technology because he thinks it may cause problems. In our opinion, this is really stupid."

Akagi showed a look of disdain on his face.

"How the power is used is entirely up to the user. Moreover, if you don't have strong power, how can you fight against the Sirens?"

"So you're planning to invite me to work with you?"

"That's right. According to what you said, the situation of the Deep Sea Princess can undoubtedly be felt more intuitively than the Sirens' technology. After all, a being born out of hatred can't be a good guy no matter how you look at it, right? Therefore, the Deep Sea Princess in the other world can at least be confirmed not to be a friendly existence, but you still bring her with you, and even rely on her power. Perhaps our ideas on the use of power are the same."

Chapter 70 Extremely Low Possibility of Cooperation

"I don't like the way you explained it, and I choose to refuse the cooperation. After all, you just want to use the power of Little North. In my opinion, using the Sirens' technology is nothing, but you can do such a thing as cooperating with the Sirens. I am very worried that you will do something terrible next."

"Especially since Xiao Beifang's power itself is full of dangers, you will definitely do something very bold about it. I dare not imagine what will happen if I bring her to cooperate with you."

Roger's refusal made Akashi worried. She was afraid that his words would make Akagi unhappy and then make her do something terrible.

"Is that how you see it? It's really a bit troubling."

Seeing Roger's answer, Akagi looked a little distressed. In this case, it would not be so easy to use Xiao Beifang's power.

Especially since Roger was so uncooperative, even if she got Xiao Beifang's power in the future, she would not dare to use it at will. You know, the hostility shown by the locked-up I-class Expulsion Unit cannot be handled or controlled no matter what method they use.

When Roger was around, this I-Class Expellor seemed to be able to communicate, but now that he was not around, it was like an irrational beast, constantly ramming into the barrier that trapped it and unable to stop. This made Akagi realize that if these guys were not suppressed, then the situation would become a disaster.

Not only was Roger able to keep a large group of these I-class destroyers in the port area without them causing any trouble, but even the Deep Sea Princesses who had self-awareness and could be regarded as leaders chose to stay quietly and not cause any trouble. It seemed that this guy either had a very special way of controlling these guys.

Or he has a very deep connection with them, so he can command them.

Judging from the current situation, the latter is very likely. However, how did this guy who is hostile to all living things choose to accept him? This made Akagi very curious. Was it his personal charm? Or was there something special about him?

Otherwise, this Deep Sea Princess from another world wouldn't have been created.

"Bad guys! The North won't play with you!"

Xiao Beifang also disliked Akagi's half-smile. She waved her hands angrily in Roger's arms, as if she wanted to drive her away.

"There is still a lot of time to consider this matter, but if possible, I still hope to hear your answer as soon as possible."

Akagi left after she finished speaking, and when Roger heard her say that, he couldn't help but wonder if if he didn't agree in the end and the other party didn't have the patience to wait, would they just attack him directly.

For a moment, Roger felt a little depressed, and Akashi beside him didn't know how to comfort him.

"It's okay, meow. Commander, maybe you'll have left here soon. By then, no matter what Akagi thinks, there won't be anything he can do about it, meow."

“…Well, I hope so.”

Although he thought that the Royal Family and the White Eagles could rescue him, the current situation was how much time it would take. Especially since Akagi had obviously set his sights on him, time suddenly became a little tight.

Thinking of this, Roger returned to the room where he was imprisoned and continued to wait for rescue. What worried Roger was that Akagi was now targeting him. Whether he would be monitored more in the future was also a very worrying issue. If the situation got worse by then, there would be no escape.

"How about pretending to agree to cooperate? No... This kind of thing is still easy to test. The other party can't be so stupid as to leave me alone just because I agreed. They can't even arrange people around me with good reason. If that happens, I won't be able to take any action."

Looking at Roger's sad face, little Beifang didn't know what to do and could only reach out and touch Roger's head. In her opinion, this act of touching the head was the most comforting behavior in her impression. After all, when she was in a bad mood, she would be happy again soon if her sister hugged her and touched her head.

"Admiral, it's okay! Beifang will definitely protect you!"

Feeling the little hand of Little North caressing his head, although he couldn't feel much because of the gloves, her eyes and expression allowed Roger to see her belief in this regard.

"Thank you, Xiao Beifang. I am still a little immature to be comforted by you in this way."

Reaching out his hand and kneading Xiao Beifang's face a few times, feeling the soft touch and seeing Xiao Beifang couldn't help laughing, Roger took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality. If he couldn't maintain a good mentality now, then the days to come would become more and more difficult.

It is even possible that Akagi's behavior will cause him to become panicked and easier to control. If Xiao Beifang is harmed in the end, it will be really terrible.

"Then let's see how long we can last."

Roger, who has already prepared himself mentally, is also thinking about what he will experience in the future.

After Akagi left, he returned to Kaga. Kaga, who had almost recovered, was standing up and moving around. Then he looked at Akagi and asked.

"Is everything going well? What was the choice of the Azur Lane commander?"

"It was rejected, but it was within the expected range."

"Disobey? Do I need to use any special means? Just make him feel scared and terrified."

"It won't have much effect to treat him like this, not to mention that according to my thinking, it's most important that he sincerely cooperates with us. Otherwise, he will definitely be stabbed in the back. In that case, not only will he be gone, but all his efforts will become someone else's property, which is not worth the loss."

Kaga frowned, obviously feeling that it was impossible for Roger to cooperate with them sincerely. The two sides were originally hostile, and this relationship could not be improved just by saying it. Even if he really wanted to cooperate, they had to believe him. Unless the other party completely left Azur Lane and joined Red Axis, perhaps they could still believe him a little.

Chapter 71 The Advantage is on Our Side

"Recently, we have received intelligence that the White Eagles have moved over. It won't be long before the two sides start fighting. But Commander, you have to be careful. This is also the most dangerous time for you."

Akashi gave Roger some instructions and told him about the recent situation, so that he could be prepared for what was to come.

"Are you ready to start?"

Roger breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, after communicating with Akagi during this period, although he adjusted his mentality, the tension and worry still affected him. He thought that Akagi would not be patient enough to attack him. Now that he heard that the people on the White Eagle side were about to take action, he felt relieved.

After all, at this point, the outcome will be known soon. It is easier to be prepared than to keep worrying about bad things happening suddenly. And after all, he is not just going to sit there and wait for death.

"Here, the layout of the surrounding techniques has been drawn, meow. However, it's impossible to walk out normally, so it's best to go from the roof. There are relatively few arrangements there, but you may miss something, meow."

Akashi took out the marked map she had drawn from her pocket. She had clearly marked the locations of the techniques that had been investigated, but she couldn't guarantee that she had marked them all. After all, she couldn't do such things openly.

"Thank you, Akashi."

Roger was also very touched by Akashi's help. Apart from always thinking about his wallet, this guy was very nice in other aspects, especially his help during this period and his full efforts to help him escape.

Roger's hand touched Akashi's head, which made Akashi look comfortable and his ears twitched.

"Even if the Commander touches Akashi like this, the cost won't be cheap afterwards, meow."

"Yes, I understand."

After Akashi left, Roger began to look at the map on the table. He frowned for a moment as he saw the arrangement of the techniques on it. Although Xiao Beifang didn't understand, he followed suit and stared at the map with a serious look. From time to time, he turned his head to look at Roger's unchanged expression, and then imitated him and stared at the map again.

"It's not easy to climb onto the roof. Can Black Puff take me up there?"

Roger looked at the black puffs floating around Xiao Beifang. If he grabbed one with each hand, would he be able to fly?

"Give it a try."

After Roger reached out and grabbed the Black Puffs, he signaled them to carry him flying. The Black Puffs immediately took action after receiving the order, and Roger's feet soon slowly floated up.

"It works! It's a little hard to grab though..."

After all, there is basically no place to grab the round shape of Black Puff. The only place that can be grabbed is the mouth of Black Puff. But the thought of putting your hand into the mouth of Black Puff and grabbing it doesn’t feel good.

"But this way, it should be easier to escape from here! You guys really helped a lot!"

Roger, who was in a good mood, was also very happy to touch the black puffs and watch them swaying up and down. Perhaps he was also very happy.

"Now we just have to wait."

While Roger was looking forward to this happening, Akagi was also making arrangements for what to do next.

"The White Eagle fleet has already approached the R Sea. There is no further action for the time being, but it is possible that they are carrying out some actions in secret. The reaction from the Royal Fleet is somewhat normal. Although there was some reaction at the beginning, there was no more intelligence afterwards."

Canglong explained the information he had collected so far so that everyone present could understand the general situation.

"Then the key is the arrangement of the commander of Azur Lane. Has he made a plan? Under the current circumstances, it seems that there is no point in dragging it out, right?"

Kaohsiung asked about the important key points of this incident. Now, there is still no decision on how to deal with Roger. The other party is unwilling to cooperate, and Akagi is not willing to give up just like that. It is not a solution to just waste time like this.

If a war breaks out in the end, not only will we not gain anything, but we will also suffer a lot of losses, which will be a joke.
