Chapter 148 I will go to Iron Blood, the center of the storm

Some things are the overwhelming will of the people and the historical trend, which cannot be stopped by just slowing down the wheels.

Liu Cheng knew this before.

During the more than one year he spent in Sardinia, he fully felt the living conditions of the Sardinian people. To put it nicely, it was to give civilization to the years and cherish the present life. To put it bluntly, it was to forget the pain after the scar healed. It was just that after entering the stalemate stage and without the sense of crisis of being destroyed at any time, the Sardinians could not wait to start worrying about the daily necessities of life.

Later, Liu Cheng came into contact with the details of supplies from the Sardinian government and Azur Lane, and after discovering that the amount of supplies was decreasing, he became more certain of his judgment. Just as the Iron-Blooded Army complained during World War II in history, if Sardinia remained neutral, we could deter them by sending one division. If Sardinia joined the Allies, we could destroy them by sending five divisions. But after Sardinia joined us, we would have to send 1 divisions to protect them!

Maybe this is the national character of Sardinia. As long as it is something that they feel is beneficial, they will not consider too many other impacts.

Later, Liu Cheng got more information from Tirpitz.

This is actually the case now. Although the previous Gibraltar Strait exercises did not completely intensify the Sardinian people's concerns about their own safety, they still made them feel the crisis.

If it were an ordinary country, it would have chosen to strengthen its armaments, shift its industrial focus to the military, expand its defense capabilities, and strengthen military cooperation. However, as one of the major countries with considerable influence on the current world stage, the Sardinian government and people chose another method -

A week ago, the Sardinian government announced a comprehensive strategic partnership with Iron and Blood, forming a military alliance headed by Iron and Blood, and becoming a protectorate without the name of a protectorate. In exchange, it gained Iron and Blood's commitment to the security of the Mediterranean. As a result, the Sardinian government, which has reduced security pressure, can also fulfill its campaign promise to cut military spending and allocate more financial resources to people's livelihood projects.

Of course, whether more of the budget will actually be spent on livelihood projects, or even whether military spending is actually cut, is another matter.

As a result, Iron Blood has achieved their strategic goal. Except for Iris and the Northern Alliance, all other countries on the European continent have been integrated into their national alliance. Naturally, the joint command of the Sardinian ship girl has also been controlled by Iron Blood.

"I will not agree to your order to transfer Liu Cheng away."

Veneto slammed the table heavily and said to Bismarck in a dignified manner, "I respect the opinions of the Sardinian people. I have no objection to the joint command being in the hands of you and Frederick the Great. I believe you will not make unreasonable orders to us. But Liu Cheng is the only exception. He is a national hero of Sardinia, a member of our Azur Lane Sardinia branch, and a great contributor to our cause. I will never let him go."

"That's my opinion, too." Littorio said with a rare serious expression, "Besides, Bismarck, have you forgotten something? Liu Cheng is an officer of the Donghuang Navy. He is only serving in Sardinia temporarily. His stay or departure is up to him."

Bismarck's eyes flickered: "I will tell him about this."

"Yes, you said that to a man who had just gone to great lengths to save you, and even nearly ruined his own body, and threatened and bribed him, and went against his will." The peace-loving Veneto was rarely so aggressive. She held her head high, her beautiful eyes full of determination, "Bismarck, I know you can do whatever it takes to achieve your goals, but is this how you treat the person who saved you? Is this the style of the Iron Blood flagship?"

Bismarck remained silent. The joint Sardinian transfer of Liu Cheng was originally the strategy of Iron Blood, not to mention that Liu Cheng now showed such an influence on the Mind Cube. In the past, in terms of combat power alone, Bismarck had to be distracted by management, and the ship equipment had not yet completed technical adaptation and upgrading. She believed that she was not as good as Hutten and Frederick the Great, but now she has the confidence to fight and it is not difficult to win.

The value Liu Cheng showed now was even greater than that of the entire Sardinia. After all, he could potentially enhance the strength of the entire Iron Blood, which was much more important than the addition of other forces that she could not fully control. As the flagship of the Iron Blood, Bismarck would certainly never give up on letting Liu Cheng join the Iron Blood, but as Bismarck, she could not force Liu Cheng.

In front of Liu Cheng, the current Bismarck can no longer be the iron-blooded leader, and is even just a soft cat in his arms.

"I respect Liu Cheng, but..."

"No buts." Veneto said in a rare and strong tone, "I will never let go of Liu Cheng!"

Veneto suddenly felt that this was a bit weird.

Yi, his voice softened slightly as he explained: "What I mean is that we in Sardinia will never accept this kind of thing."

"Thank you, thank you very much Veneto for thinking so highly of me."

Hearing this voice, the ship girls in the conference room were stunned for a moment. The door was opened from the outside, and Liu Cheng came into the conference room sitting in a wheelchair pushed by Belfast. In fact, it was not so exaggerated that he could not stand up at all, but Zara and the others did not allow Liu Cheng to move around. Being able to walk out like this was already their bottom line.

"Liu Cheng, why are you here?" Veneto blinked. Thinking that Liu Cheng had heard what he said just now, a slight sense of shame lingered in his heart.

"I already know what happened outside." Liu Cheng looked at Veneto, then at Bismarck, and said, "Veneto, thank you very much for protecting me, but it doesn't matter, I am willing to go to Iron Blood."

Littorio frowned slightly: "What?"

Bolzano covered his mouth with a look of disbelief.

"You, you bastard!"

Bola became anxious, but was held down by her sister Zara. She looked at her sister's face and shook her head.

"Right, that's right. He should be a role model for the union between Sardinia and Iron Blood. That's the kind of person I like."

Marco Polo finally found a chance to express his opinion, but was glared at by Veneto. He shrank back in embarrassment. But it didn't matter. From now on, he would be the liaison officer between Sardinia and the Iron Bloods. Humph, you all don't understand me. Just wait and see how I will turn the tables and squeeze out the Iron Bloods. The great Marco Polo will eventually become the leader of the alliance and spread the power of Sardinia.

Veneto pursed his lips and said to Liu Cheng: "Are you serious?"

Liu Cheng nodded: "Very serious."

“But even if you serve in Sardinia, with such a big personnel transfer in Donghuang, they may not let you go.”

"No, they will."

Liu Cheng was extremely sure, because he had already discussed it with Zhenhai before taking action, and this matter would be coordinated and fully cooperated by the Donghuang ship girl.

Veneto's beautiful eyes focused on Liu Cheng's determined look, and the reluctance in her heart gradually understood his persistence: "I understand... I respect your opinion."

"Well, that's it then."

Liu Cheng patted the back of Pola's hand and calmed her down. Well, it seemed that there were still many ship girls who needed him to calm them down.

But his decision will not change, he will go to Iron Blood, to the center of the storm.

In order to create a truly beautiful tomorrow.

Chapter 149: My love for you is my boundless wealth

Liu Cheng was not clear about the specific content of the negotiations between Sardinia and Iron Blood. After all, his main task was to recuperate, and Liu Cheng did not need to worry about such matters. Iron Blood was seeking to integrate the power of the ship girls. The Sardinian ship girls respected the wishes of the Sardinian people, but they were not soft persimmons and would not agree to excessive demands. The biggest disagreement was about Liu Cheng's arrangements, but it had been resolved, so the negotiation process was said to be quite smooth.

Because of this reason, the existence of the Royal Navy's ship girls became a little awkward. Even though Sardinia said that their alliance with Iron Blood did not mean they were hostile to the Royal Navy, everyone knew the inside story, but no one said it explicitly.

The Royal Ship Girl did not leave directly, but waited until Belfast to take care of Liu Cheng's body. After all, Liu Cheng did not have any major problems. After the initial gastrointestinal conditioning and then doing some recovery stretching exercises, he was able to move freely. However, to recover to his previous strong body, he still needed to rest for a while.

In September, the climate along the Mediterranean coast is no longer hot. Even if the sun is still strong, the sea breeze will only make people feel comfortable.

As Ryu Seung walked side by side with the Prince of Wales on the embankment, he said, "We'll see each other tomorrow."

"Ah."

"Although this is goodbye, I hope our partnership will not end."

Liu Cheng kicked a stone under his feet, but he didn't control the angle well and staggered slightly. The Prince of Wales immediately grabbed Liu Cheng's arm nervously and supported his chest with his other hand.

"Don't be brave."

"I'm not trying to be brave." Liu Cheng looked at the pretty face of the Prince of Wales who was so close to him, and said with a smile, "I'm not that weak. I was just careless just now."

"Anyway, you have to be careful."

The Prince of Wales released his hand, turned his head slightly and said, "I know you are not someone who wants Azur Lane to split, so you must want to make a difference by going to Iron Blood. Since our goals are the same, our partnership will not end. In any case, you have cured Hood, so you will always be a friend of our Royal Family. Of course, if you change your mind and want to come to the Royal Family, I welcome you even more."

"Maybe there will be a chance in the future, but it probably won't be possible in the short term."

"What about Hood?" Prince of Wales stopped and looked at Liu Cheng with burning eyes, "Anyone can see her feelings for you. Can you bear to abandon her?"

Liu Cheng blinked and said, "I haven't seen Jean Bart for a while."

"you……"

The Prince of Wales wanted to say something, but finally shook his head helplessly and said, "You guy, there are so many ship girls who like you, there is really no chance of being bored around you."

"Yes, they like me, and I like them too, so I didn't abandon Jean Bart, and I won't abandon Hood. I won't abandon anyone." Liu Cheng looked at the seagulls in the sea not far away and said seriously, "I will go and tell Hood later, she will definitely believe me."

The Prince of Wales bit his lip

, looking at Liu Cheng's profile with some obsession. As long as this man is by his side, he will feel safe and reliable. He is like a flame. As long as the ship girl is attracted to him, she will rush into him involuntarily, even if she burns herself. What's more, he gives the ship girl warmth. How could Hood not believe him?

After looking around, the Prince of Wales saw several figures on the beach, who seemed to be looking over here. She took a deep breath and said to Liu Cheng, "Being upright is my creed, and I hope so for everything. So... can you... come with me for a while? I have something important to tell you."

Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then he knew what the Prince of Wales wanted to say from the twinkling eyes on her pretty face, but he still asked knowingly: "Is there anything that cannot be said here?"

"Because it's important."

"Where to go?"

"follow me."

Prince of Wales took Liu Cheng's hand and walked forward. They didn't need to know where to go, just find a place where there was no one. They walked through the stone path and found a forest. They walked all the way to the deepest part of the forest before stopping.

"There's no one here, what's going on?"

"Yes……"

The Prince of Wales raised his head and saw Liu Cheng's face with a faint smile. His dark eyes were as bright as stars. She glared at Liu Cheng charmingly, pursed her lips and said, "You already knew what I wanted to say?"

"I know a little." Liu Cheng leaned closer to the Prince of Wales and said with his head slightly lowered, "But I want to hear you say it out loud."

"I……"

The Prince of Wales took a deep breath, and finally opened his beautiful red eyes and said, "Hood is my good friend, but I have never been able to help her get over it, let alone heal her injuries. I am a pacifist, but I am just struggling helplessly and can't find a way to truly achieve peace... But with your appearance, everything is different."

"At the beginning, I was just a little jealous and a little yearning. Later, when I didn't know what to do, I saw you by my side, and a little, really just a little, thought that this was not a bad thing..."

"But when I realized it later, I couldn't ignore you anymore, especially during the month you were in a coma."

The Prince of Wales raised his head and showed an incomparable beautiful smile: "I don't know how you see me, but I think I am still attractive. However, I like you anyway. Such love is my boundless wealth. Even if you exchange it with the power of the entire kingdom, I will still disdain it. But I still want to know, what is your answer?"

"I...same thing."

Even though he was mentally prepared, the Prince of Wales's affectionate confession still made Liu Cheng's heart beat wildly. He couldn't help but happily hug the beautiful woman's slender waist and said, "I am a hopeless person, but sometimes I feel that you can't blame me. You said you were attracted to me, but when I was with you, I was also attracted to you. Your figure and temperament, your character and spirit, are impeccable to friends and enemies... How could anyone not be attracted to you? I'm just an ordinary person, of course I like you like this."

The Prince of Wales felt that his mind cube no longer belonged to him. She said dazedly, "Then why didn't you tell me? Do you really want me to confess to you?"

"Well..." Liu Cheng scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "You know, I have many lovers. If I take the initiative to confess to you, I am afraid you will think I am frivolous and embarrassed to say it."

"How could that be? I just feel happy."

The Prince of Wales put his arms around Liu Cheng's neck, their faces so close, she blinked and said, "Now how to treat a girl, do you still need me to teach you?"

"I should be the one teaching you."

As Liu Cheng spoke, he pressed the Prince of Wales' perfect body tightly against the tree and kissed her lips which had been eagerly opened. The Prince of Wales responded awkwardly, and she felt like her heart no longer belonged to her. She couldn't help but unzip her clothes, and then a pair of big hands held her hands, and also held the moving existence under her hands.

"Ugh..."

"I don't have much time left, please give me a little more before we leave..."

"It's okay to be a little more rough..."

Chapter 150: Hood and Wales's Collaboration Before Departure

"Yes, I was just being stubborn before... Of course I feel it, I feel it when you hug me..."

"I don't want to interfere with the progress of the plan... I, I also want to retain a little dignity..."

"Don't bully me... You can do whatever you want..."

The Prince of Wales's slender body was pressed against the tree. She twisted restlessly. The man in front of her held her tightly with one hand. The painful and pleasurable touch made her utter sweet whimpers in her throat. What's more, her lover was unsatisfied. He moved his kisses from her face down to her white neck, leaving traces of strawberries on her sensitive collarbone. The Prince of Wales held Liu Cheng's head with both hands, not wanting him to leave, and unwilling to let him leave.

"Why, why did you show up?"

"I actually like someone... I don't want to be separated from you... I like you so much..."

Liu Cheng sniffed the scent of the Prince of Wales, he pressed her body tightly, raised his head and kissed her, in the one month in the consciousness space, the spiritual satisfaction could not cover up the emptiness of the flesh, not to mention that during the period of recuperation, Zara and the others did not get intimate with him because it was not good for physical recovery.

After two months, it only takes a spark to completely burn up.

"It's just a temporary separation, but I promise you that there will be a day when we will be together forever. It will definitely happen, and we will all be happy together."

"I believe you, of course I believe you."

The Prince of Wales raised her head with a dazed look. She wanted to continue looking for Liu Cheng's lips, and Liu Cheng did as she wished, kissing her almost until she couldn't breathe.

This outstanding British beauty has opened up everything about herself to the lover in front of her. No matter what he wants to do, she will not resist and will willingly cater to him.

Liu Cheng also wanted to fulfill the Prince of Wales' wish here, but reason still managed to overcome the desire in his heart with difficulty. He let go of the beauty in his arms and helped her tidy up her messy hair while she was breathing rapidly.

The Prince of Wales said defiantly: "Go on, I can do it."

Liu Cheng just shook his head, hugged her body tightly and said: "Desire is not the only way to express love. It's too hasty here. When you are ready, I can't let you resist even if you want to."

Contrary to the Prince of Wales' strong and upright character, her body was too sensitive. Just kissing and caressing had already made her almost unable to stand up straight. Liu Cheng knew that with his ability and accumulated desire, if he put all his heart into it, the Prince of Wales might even get hurt, which would be a loss.

"But you're already like this... isn't it bad for your health?"

The Prince of Wales bit his lip, his eyes blurry.

"It's okay, I'll recover in a while."

"Not always."

It was not the Prince of Wales who said this, but a voice coming from the other side of the woods. Hood came out from the bushes and said with a blush on her pretty face: "I didn't want to disturb you, but at least you didn't do it on purpose for me this time, right?"

"Hood?"

The Prince of Wales struggled for a while, trying to get out of Liu Cheng's arms, but the man held him tighter, so he gave up struggling.

"I saw you, Wales, holding Liu Cheng on the road before, and I followed you out of curiosity." Hood's eyes turned gentle, "It seems that I came at the wrong time?"

"No, you came at the right time. We were just talking about you."

Liu Cheng extended his hand to Hood. There was nothing to be awkward between the two of them. The consciousness space was certainly not reality, but what happened was more heart-to-heart. Hood pursed his lips and smiled, then put his hand into Liu Cheng's arms, and then the man pulled him into his arms.

Hood and the Prince of Wales, two close friends, looked at each other and understood each other's hearts.

"I also love the person you love, but I won't give up."
