Crossing the azure as a black dragon

"Is this all?"

Black Dragon was somewhat surprised. Could it be that she was mistaken? Did Amagi not want to use pressure from the two countries to resolve the Sakura Empire, but instead seek a backer first?

That's not right either. Amagi already has her, and given Amagi's current situation, it's impossible for the Northern Alliance to recognize their legitimacy unless Amagi can take over Sakura Empire first.

"This is all we need."

Tiancheng didn't say much, but nodded calmly in response.

"If that's the case, then it's really not appropriate for me to go along. Are there any other things I should be aware of?"

Black Flying Dragon stroked her chin. If it were just a verbal guarantee, she wouldn't have needed to put in so much effort.

Moreover, it's still the current Sakura Empire regime... If Amagi and Shinano completely take over the Sakura Empire, she'll be willing to put in more effort.

After all, she held a high position in the hearts of the Sakura Empire ships. Once the Sakura Empire became the ship girl regime, it would essentially become her backyard, and in a sense, the Sakura Empire would belong to her.

She is well aware of the difference between contributing to her own things and contributing to other people's things.

"No, this is the information from the Northern Union mission. Please take a look."

Amagi lowered his head, pulled out a document from the files, stood up, walked over to Black Flying Dragon, and handed it to him.

"Ok."

Black Dragon took the documents with both hands and turned to the first page. The first thing she saw was a woman wearing a coat with the characteristics of the Northern Alliance. Unlike the other Northern Alliance warships she had seen, this one did not look particularly powerful, but her calm expression showed that she was not a ship that could be dealt with casually.

"Soviet Union".

Black Flying Dragon muttered as he checked the information below. According to the records, this was the most outstanding ship girl in the Northern Alliance at present. Unlike Soviet Rossia and Soviet Belaros, there was only one such ship girl so far.

There is no record of the Soviet Union participating in the war in the data. The only thing marked is that this ship girl comes from the North Union Supreme Command and is a mystery.

"In the early days of the Northern Alliance, the ship girls were under the unified command of the state. At that time, the ship girls were modeled after soldiers and could hold relevant national positions just like ordinary people. Later, a port area system was introduced to disperse the defense of sea areas. Many ships went to various command schools to train new recruits, leaving only a few ship girls to stay within the country and form a special department. The Soviet Union was the leader of this department."

Amagi, who was standing nearby, provided an explanation at the opportune moment.

"No wonder they were hiding their tracks, they're a high-ranking official. But was our meeting really that important?"

Every country has its own policies. Black Dragon could understand that the Northern Alliance ship girl held a high position, but she was still somewhat surprised that such a powerful figure would come in person.

"Although there are some differences in military rank, your current status is actually not much different from hers, and you are not someone that ordinary delegations can meet."

Tiancheng paused subtly as he looked at Hei Feilong's serious expression.

"Huh? I'm actually that good?"

Black Flying Dragon was taken aback; this was the first time she had ever heard someone say something like that.

"In Donghuang's words, it's 'special cases are treated specially.' Your existence directly affects the security of Donghuang's territorial waters, so your current status in Donghuang is actually very high. It's just that you haven't been formally appointed or given a military rank, so few people in China know about it, but it's well-known abroad."

Amagi tapped the table, his tone slightly more forceful.

After getting to know Black Dragon, she quickly realized that Black Dragon had a very weak sense of self-awareness, and that he was also very inarticulate when talking to people.

He adopted an extremely humble attitude, which is a good thing, but Black Flying Dragon's humility had reached an almost pathological level. Coupled with his terrifying learning ability, it was simply torture for anyone with a competitive spirit.

Many Sakura Empire ship girls who had contact with Black Dragon would later consult her, wanting to know how to handle her questions. The most typical example is Noshiro; she only interacted with Black Dragon for a few days last year, and afterwards, she never dared to act as a senior again. (69.493.6135)

Even if it's for the sake of the future, she has to correct Black Dragon's self-perception.

"I see, I understand now."

Hearing Tiancheng say this, Hei Feilong nodded with a serious expression.

"Do you really understand?"

Amagi glanced at Black Flying Dragon's resolute face and sensed something was amiss.

"The gist of it is that my position in the Eastern Huang military is actually quite high, comparable to that of the highest-ranking visiting delegations from other countries."

Black Flying Dragon crossed his arms in front of him, speaking calmly.

Without an appointment letter or military rank, she wouldn't feel the weight of a higher position, no matter how high it was given to her.

Even now, hearing Tiancheng say that doesn't bother her. Regardless of status, her strength speaks for itself, and no one dares to put on airs.

"Just understand it that way."

When Amagi heard those two words, his heart sank, but he didn't say much. He just wanted to establish a general image first and fill in the details later.

Black Flying Dragon nodded and continued to flip through the documents. Apart from the Soviet Union, the rest were all guards, and there wasn't much to note.

"Besides what we've discussed, there are some other minor matters. I'll organize them and give them to you before the meeting starts."

Amagi walked back to his seat and added a sentence.

"it is good."

Black Dragon nodded.

……

After reviewing the meeting content with Tiancheng, Heifeilong returned to the command room and began cleaning up the dust.

There are no dedicated cleaners in the port area; residents have to clean their own homes. Not only the command center, but also Avira's mansion needs regular maintenance and cleaning in case someone moves in temporarily.

Not long after, Black Flying Dragon, having finished cleaning, went to the coffee shop, ordered a slightly sweet coffee, and sat down at a table outside.

It's not that she dislikes bitter tastes, but she prefers slightly sweet ones.

"This is really complicated."

Black Dragon murmured softly, swirling the coffee in his hand.

Amagi seemed to want to teach her something, but she didn't want to understand so much; perhaps that was the difference between her and Amagi.

When she has nothing to do, she can leisurely enjoy the sea breeze and drink a cup of coffee like this, which is already very comfortable for her.

Before Black Flying Dragon could finish his reflection, Shen Tong's hurried figure came into her view.

"You've arrived so quickly?"

Composing himself, Hei Feilong glanced back at the clock in the shop. Unbeknownst to him, it was already past three o'clock. In early summer, it was probably past five in the evening.

Shentong also saw the Black Flying Dragon and quickened his pace to get to her.

"The delegation has arrived?"

Through a clump of green plants, Black Flying Dragon asked.

"We have arrived at the Free Port. According to intelligence, Hood and Tirpitz from the Free Port have joined the team as companions."

Shen Tong nodded.

"Okay, let's start preparing."

Black Flying Dragon calmly finished his coffee, got up to pay the bill, and went up to the fourth floor.

Chapter 7 Smart and naive

As time passed, the sun gradually set, and night enveloped the earth.

The lights at the bay checkpoint in the branch port were all on, illuminating a large area of ​​the surrounding sea. Many small merchant ships were moored in the harbor below the checkpoint, preparing to spend the night in this safe place. The area was even more bustling than during the day.

"I wish I could just pick them up directly."

Listening to the conversations between the crew members and ship girls at his feet, Black Dragon couldn't help but sigh.

She usually uses teleportation portals to travel in an instant, but she completely forgot that this place is two hundred miles away from the Free Port Area, and even ordinary ships would take several hours to travel there at full speed.

"Should we prepare dinner first?"

After dismissing the patrolling team, Shentong approached and inquired.

"Go and inform them."

Black Dragon glanced at the light spot that was about to approach the branch port through the light screen and hummed in agreement.

After responding, Shen Tong quickly left, leaving Black Flying Dragon alone to watch the sea.

"It's been a long time since I've seen New Jersey. I wonder if anything has changed."

Looking down at the crew members walking on the merchant ship, Black Dragon recalled the scene of meeting New Jersey.

The two spent very little time together and didn't leave any significant memories, but her impression of his inexplicable confidence and natural leadership qualities was very deep. Unfortunately, New Jersey was too obsessed with the White Eagle and never had the chance to win him over.

As his thoughts wandered, the points of light symbolizing the delegation slowly approached the vicinity of the branch port and came into the Black Dragon's sight.

"1.2.3..."

Black Flying Dragon squinted and counted carefully. The number of ship girls in this team was an astonishing thirty. Excluding the four people who came with them from the Free Port Area, there were 13 people each from the White Eagle and the Northern Alliance.

The New Jersey that had just existed in his memory suddenly appeared in the present world. Black Dragon looked over and New Jersey looked over as well. The two looked at each other from about five nautical miles apart.

"still

"You're so perceptive."

Black Dragon smirked, ignoring New Jersey's goofy 'I'm here to play' grin, and turned his gaze to the white figure beside him.

Wearing a white coat with black markings, her long, flowing hair swayed in the wind, and her expression was very calm. If you didn't look at her ship equipment, she would look like an office worker.

The Soviet Union's ship rigging features the distinctive rust of the North Union, and the steel beasts bound by iron chains look as if they could come to life at any moment. The massive cannons stand shoulder to shoulder with the New Jersey ship, and are even more ferocious in terms of visual impact.

Faced with the black dragon's scrutiny, the Soviet Union merely glanced up at him before looking away.

"She's the type I can't handle."

Black Dragon also withdrew its gaze, turned around and walked down the checkpoint to prepare to go and greet them.

……

"Long time no see! This port area is even more lively than I expected. It's great!"

Upon setting foot on land, New Jersey immediately broke away from the group and went straight to the Black Dragon, opening its arms to give it a warm hug.

"Ha, it's alright."

Despite being mentally prepared, Black Dragon's expression still froze when he was suddenly hugged. He reached out and patted New Jersey's back to indicate that it was about time.

New Jersey's physique can only be described as explosive. The several hours of travel had served as a warm-up, and Black Dragon felt as if a ball of fire was rushing towards him, which was really hard to withstand.

"Hmm, still so humble, hasn't changed at all."
