Azur Lane Mobile Front.

"Ugh, this is really a headache, we still have to capture them alive..."

"Never mind, let's tell the commander first!"

Meanwhile, Rob, who was preparing to go out for an event, finally received news from Fushun.

"Hehe~ Commander, we caught a fish!"

Rob held the communicator in front of him and blinked.

He felt something was off about that sound just now. Was this the effect after Fushun and Taiyuan merged?

Now that the plan has succeeded, Rob no longer needs to pretend.

There's no need to go to any of those events.

Abandoning his half-worn dress, Rob, accompanied by the head maid, headed straight for the white wooden horse moored at the harbor.

When Rob arrived at the scene, he never expected that the attacker was actually a White Eagle submarine.

"this..."

Seeing the battered White Eagle submarine that had been forcibly dragged to the surface by King Sparrow, Rob's face darkened instantly.

He ordered the submarine to be towed back to Donghuang Port. Robo and Zhenhai then began a meeting right there on the white wooden horse.

"White Eagle, what are you trying to do?"

Rob couldn't understand why the White Eagle, as an ally, would do such a thing.

"Cherry Blossom Fragrance..."

Zhenhai gently stroked the black stockings on his legs while keeping a deep look in his eyes.

Judging from the expression on her face, this incident did indeed anger her.

"Chong Sakura?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the White Eagles should have had contact with Sakura Empire."

"What do you mean?"

"Hehe~ Don't you understand yet?"

Zhenhai picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.

"Donghuang just fought against Sakura Empire."

"At this point in time, if you were attacked, who would be the first person you think of?"

Seeing that Luo Bo still hadn't figured it out, Zhenhai patiently began to explain.

"Of course it's Sakura Empire, right?"

"So, as the commander of Donghuang, shouldn't you retaliate when Donghuang's cargo ships are attacked?"

Rob nodded in agreement.

"And given your personality, your revenge will definitely not be a small-scale affair."

"Then, Sakura Empire needs to carefully consider what will happen to them if they really fall into your hands."

"If at this time, the White Eagles stepped forward and offered Sakura Empire a relatively lenient deal."

"So, is it possible that Sakura Empire might choose to side with Eagle Union?"

"Wait a minute, that's not right. White Eagle is a million miles away from Sakura Empire's homeland. Even if Sakura Empire surrenders, it wouldn't be his turn, would it?"

As Luo Bo listened to Zhen Hai's story, he noticed something was amiss, so he interrupted Zhen Hai.

"Master, Sakura Empire can surrender to Azur Lane now~"

The head maid behind him promptly answered Rob's questions.

After listening for so long, the head maid probably already understood all the reasons behind it.

"Azur Lane..."

Rob repeated the words he was saying; he seemed to have figured it out.

The current Azur Lane, to put it nicely, is an organization that unites the world to resist the Sirens.

To put it bluntly, they are merely tools used by the White Eagle and the Royal Navy to suppress other factions.

Surrendering to Azur Lane is no different from surrendering to Eagle Union.

If this scenario actually comes true.

Sakura Empire would become a thorn stuck at the doorstep of the Eastern Empire, one that Robo simply couldn't remove.

Moreover, even if the plan fails, the White Eagle will not suffer any losses.

In any case, it seems that Sakura Empire will be defeated by the Eastern Empire sooner or later.

"Heh~ Sister Zhenhai, inform Baiying that one of their submarines has run aground here. Let them tow it back themselves."

Having figured it out, Rob looked at the submarine being towed on the sea surface.

"Now is not the time."

Even knowing about White Eagle's plot against him, Rob could only endure it for the time being.

“However, since ‘headquarters’ wants me to speed up the offensive, then I should naturally obey the orders of headquarters, don’t you think, Sister Zhenhai?”

Hehe~

Zhenhai didn't answer Luo Bo's question. However, judging from her eyes, she seemed to already have a plan in mind.

A surprise attack on Sakura Empire is about to begin.

Chapter 189: Remember to buy your equipment before the fight begins (lol)

In Rob's office, everyone from the port area was crammed together.

In the very center, there is a detailed map of Sakura Empire (this map was kindly provided by Shoukaku and Zuikaku).

It is clear that many locations have been marked with circles of various colors.

These are all intelligence reports that Rob has gathered over the past two days by sending his daughter to investigate.

"In other words, the Sakura Empire's ships are now basically all distributed in these ports."

Rob asked Zuikaku, needing to confirm something again.

These past few days, Robb had refrained from attacking Sakura Empire, hoping they would quickly gather their fleet so he could wipe them out in one fell swoop.

This is done for two reasons: firstly, it makes fighting easier.

Secondly, if Robo's forces the Sakura Empire to surrender, and some hardliners remain on the ships, leading some to flee overseas and become pirates, then the coast of the Eastern Empire will likely never have peace.

This possibility is not nonexistent. You know, Richelieu's sister ship, Jean Bart, really enjoys experiencing life like this.

However, time no longer allows Rob to wait.

Anyway, the Sakura Empire has already replied—they swear to resist to the death. If they want "that person" to be judged, the Sakura Empire will fight to the last man.

"This operation can be roughly divided into two parts."

"Shokaku, Zuikaku, Enterprise, Baltimore, your mission is to annihilate all the remaining Sakura Empire fleets."

"Then it's your turn. Your mission is to attack these cities, which are now the only remaining industrial centers of the Sakura Empire."

Luo Bo then looked at the four-person group from Anshan.

"clear."

"Finally, the remaining people, attack here."

Rob pointed to a spot on the map, which was the most important place in the entire Sakura Empire—the capital.

"If Shoukaku is right, 'that person' of Sakura Empire has always lived here. Take it, and then Sakura Empire will basically be ours."

After saying this, Rob threw the pen in his hand onto the map.

"The most important thing in this operation is to be fast."

"I guarantee that if we are even slightly slow and give Sakura Empire or Eagle Union the slightest chance to react, Sakura Empire will immediately accept Eagle Union's terms."

"Therefore, New Jersey, you must cut off Sakura Empire's communications immediately."

"Hmph~ No problem, leave it to me."

"Oh, right, New Jersey, Enterprise, there's something else. You can do it in a bit, it won't take long."

"Huh? What? What?"

New Jersey's big eyes immediately filled with curiosity.

"Help me send a message to any White Eagle ships you can contact, saying that the Eastern Empire is recruiting ships willing to come over, and the benefits are negotiable."

"Huh? Why is that?"

"The White Eagles bombed one of my cargo ships, so it's reasonable for me to undermine them a few times, right?"

"Hey? Rob, Rob, do you think it would be really fun if I called Sister Iowa over?"

For some reason, New Jersey immediately thought of her older sister, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

Rob was stunned by her idea. Iowa holds a very high position within the White Eagle organization. How could you, a simpleton, poach someone from the top leadership?

"If you can manage to poach Iowa, then I'll be impressed!"

...

After the battle plan was finalized, Rob immediately took his daughter to the hangar.

As the saying goes, there must be an escalation before a major battle.

This wave of attacks requires an offensive from at least two directions, so the second warship must also be deployed.

This time, the person Rob chose was Hai Tian, ​​an artistic young woman from the port area.

As for warships, Rob also considered them.

Previously, he had been thinking about how to bring the meteor shower to the company.

The system previously gave the answer as "Legendary Insert".

Not to mention that the conditions for obtaining this thing are too ridiculous, Robo hasn't even met the prerequisite of climbing five lines yet.

However, a couple of days ago, when Rob was looking for a suitable warship, he suddenly came up with a solution.

That is, to get the Eternal Ship carrying the meteor out.

Then, the meteor was used directly as a combination technique.

As we all know, ship rigging is a rather quantum mechanical thing.

With the Eternal, all we need to do is temporarily equip the Meteor on Enterprise and Baltimore when needed, and then immediately retrieve it after use.

In this way, there's no need to worry about the device not being able to fly after being installed.

The system's answer to this plan was—feasible. Essentially, from now on, the company and Baltimore will be tied to the Endurance.

But before that, let's upgrade everything that can be upgraded first.

"Shokaku, Baltimore."

"exist!"

The two people who were called by Rob immediately stood up.

"Let's upgrade your mechs first."

As he spoke, Rob pulled out the Legend and Infinite Justice.

Finally, in Robo's port area, the Four Heavenly Kings of Destiny were all gathered.

Compared to before, Shoukaku's body is a bit more slender.

However, the most significant point is that the composite weapon on the left hand is missing, which also means that Shoukaku has lost its large beam saber.

However, as compensation, it is said that it is still superior to the divine will in terms of power and defense.

As for Baltimore.

The main body of the machine after the change of clothes does not look much different from before. The biggest change is mainly the backpack on the back.

Because the backpack is equipped with a griffin-cutting blade, it is much wider than before when unfolded.
