Azur Lane Mobile Front.

Rob thanked the head maid who had helped him out of the predicament, and then he came to his senses.

The head maid just said something, like a press conference?

As a time traveler, Rob naturally understood this.

However, in his mind, those were things that only highly skilled professionals could handle.

“That’s right, Master.”

The head maid gathered her thoughts and then said to Rob, "Instead of letting them scatter, let's gather them together and deal with them in one go."

"And after that, anyone who dares to harass you, Master, can be expelled with a legitimate reason."

Upon hearing this, Rob's eyes lit up; this was indeed a good idea.

"However, I'm afraid I'm not qualified for this job."

As he spoke, Rob's eyes remained fixed on the head maid, making his meaning quite clear.

"No, Master, there are some things Belfast can't help you with."

Unusually, the head maid refused Rob's request.

The head maid refused, which put Rob in a difficult position.

After all, he had heard quite a few strange and wonderful stories about various press conferences in his previous life.

Having just had a falling out with White Eagle, it's inevitable that some professionals will try to sabotage him.

Rob couldn't think of a suitable candidate for the time being.

Richelieu is not bad, but...

The cardinal has been very busy lately; she's been organizing most of the Sakura Empire's data.

Rob really couldn't bring himself to cause her any more trouble.

So the question of who would be the spokesperson at the press conference lingered in Robert's mind for a long time, unable to be dispelled.

So he put aside his work for the time being and thought about the problem carefully.

After he once again sought help from the head maid, Belfast said she could not act as Rob's spokesperson to deal with the reporters.

However, it's still helpful to help Rob organize the answers he might need.

This immediately made Rob feel much more relaxed.

At least, if all else fails, I can do it myself, and there shouldn't be too much of a problem, right?

However, at that moment, Shoukaku walked into Robo's temporary office.

Upon seeing this Yamato Nadeshiko from the Sakura Empire, Robo suddenly felt that he had found the most suitable spokesperson!

...

"Eh? No, no, Commander, please spare me!"

After listening to Rob's story, Ms. Shoukaku shook her head vigorously.

Don't worry, I believe you can do it!

Patting Shoukaku on the shoulder, Robo ignored Shoukaku's opinions and immediately started going over the manuscript with him.

...

After two days of training, Shoukaku's spokesperson, who had been forcibly recruited by Robo, finally looked somewhat presentable.

However, after watching one of Shoukaku's drills, Luo Bo always felt that something was missing.

Shoukaku seems to be too polite, lacking in aggression. That won't do.

Rob didn't actually hold the press conference to release any information; he only did it because he was genuinely annoyed.

After much deliberation, Rob came up with a plan that could barely be considered a solution, but it was definitely a wicked idea.

Before the press conference began, Rob put his arm around Shoukaku's shoulder as she prepared, gesturing for her to look at the reporters who were seated.

"Shokaku, look, who are they?"

"A reporter? Commander, why are you asking this?"

Xianghe was puzzled; she was still memorizing her script.

"No, think about it again."

Rob expressed his objection to Shoukaku's answer.

"Wait, that's... someone who's here to cause trouble?"

Recalling the various reporters he had encountered recently, Xianghe offered another answer.

"That's not right either, think about it again."

Rob shook his head again.

"I really don't know, Commander..."

Looking at the reporters who were already mostly seated below, Shoukaku said that he really didn't want to play guessing games with Rob anymore.

"Shokaku, look carefully."

"They are all loyal and devoted!"

"refer to..."

"They are all loyal and devoted!"

Before Shoukaku could finish speaking, Rob interrupted him.

He patted Shoukaku on the shoulder, then emphasized his words and repeated what he had just said.

Then, he ran away in a flash.

Shokaku stared blankly at the group of reporters craning their necks to look at him below the stage, muttering Luo Bo's words over and over again.

"They...are all Akagi?"

Gradually, the gentle and lovely smile returned to Shoukaku's face.

However, if someone who knows her well saw her, they would definitely run away as fast as they could.

This smile usually indicates that the Sakura Nadeshiko is about to unleash her full power.

Chapter 197: The Overly Diligent Cardinal

The reporters who came out of the venue all had rather peculiar expressions on their faces.

The spokesperson just now, although what she said seemed perfectly normal on the surface.

But somehow, something just doesn't feel right!

With the reporters gone, this matter can be considered officially closed.

As for what happens next, we'll talk about that later.

Now, Rob needs to consider something more important.

After a week, the other major factions finally came forward to express their views.

Especially the White Eagles; this time, they came to speak with Robo in the name of Azur Lane headquarters.

Regarding the fate of Sakura Empire, Azur Lane headquarters stated that it requires discussion among all factions.

"Ha~ One by one, they can't sit still anymore!"

Looking at the pile of intelligence from various factions laid out in front of him, Rob realized once again that, as expected, headquarters was beyond saving.

"Zhenhai, please help me contact the Northern Union."

"Just say that I want to talk to the Soviet Union."

"Also, summon Richelieu for me."

Putting aside the intelligence in front of him, since there was no way to avoid it, Rob could only think of a solution.

Fortunately, the cards I held in my hand weren't just the size of my fist.

"Belfa, send a reply to headquarters, saying that I want to invite people from all factions to Sakura Empire to discuss Sakura Empire issues here."

First and foremost, we must maintain control.

Thus, a grand conference concerning the future of Sakura Empire was about to be held on Sakura Empire soil.

The Northern Union responded very quickly; Robo had just sent a message and immediately received a reply.

Thus, the Soviet Union, which had not seen each other for some time, met with Rob again through a real-time video call.

Next came negotiations regarding a series of interests.

Although the two sides currently have a fairly good relationship, and the Northern Alliance has indeed fought against the Sakura Empire.

However, Robb is still unwilling to compromise on some major interests.

Fortunately, since their own fleet is temporarily unable to leave the polar seas, even if the Northern Alliance wanted to take the benefits from Sakura Empire, they wouldn't be able to get much.

Fortunately, the Soviet Union did Robo a favor and didn't make any excessive demands on him.

...

After the talks with the Soviet Union concluded, Robb approached Richelieu, who had been waiting for him.

The cardinal, who had been working tirelessly for days, did not look to be in good spirits at the moment.

Richelieu, who has taken on a lot of business, has been working at a high intensity lately.

She also knew very well that Rob wouldn't consider the Europa issue until he had dealt with the Sakura Empire situation properly.

Therefore, in order to extricate Robb from Sakura Empire as soon as possible, Richelieu also went to great lengths to help handle Sakura Empire affairs.

Upon receiving the message from the head maid, she put down her work and rushed over immediately.

"Commander, is there anything I can do for you?"

Upon entering Rob's temporary office, Richelieu immediately inquired whether Rob had other matters that needed his attention.

Rob had just finished a call with the Soviet Union, and his communication devices were still on.

Then, he turned his head and was truly startled by Richelieu's current appearance.

If Robb hadn't known that this cardinal's faith was quite steadfast, judging from his appearance, he would have thought that the flagship of the Free Iris had abandoned the Bible and started studying the Tao Te Ching to cultivate immortality.

Richelieu... how long has it been since you rested?

"Well... it's been about a few days."

"However, it's alright, Commander, I will get the job done on time!"

"Please sit down, Belfast. Go get Richelieu some food."

Although it was past lunchtime, judging from the other person's appearance, Rob guessed that he probably hadn't eaten again.

Therefore, Robb specifically asked the head maid to prepare some food for Richelieu.

"This time, a conference of all factions will be held in Sakura Empire to discuss the issues concerning Sakura Empire."

"Get ready."

"I understand. What kind of materials do you need me to prepare for the commander?"

Rob was stunned when he heard this.

Is this cardinal so busy that he's completely overwhelmed?

“I say, Miss Richelieu, have you forgotten that you are still the leader of the camp?”

After saying that, Rob looked at Richelieu with a wry smile.

"Huh?"

Richelieu then stood frozen in place, his large eyes filled with utter confusion.

To be honest, she's quite cute.

Before long, the current flagship of the Free Iris finally realized that her commander was helping her gain international standing.

Free Iris, to put it nicely, is a faction.

To put it bluntly, it might not even be as good as Mikasa's new Sakura Empire alliance.
