Azur Lane Mobile Front.

It's unclear what Richelieu and Jean Bart said to Gascoigne, but they managed to suppress the curiosity of this strange project ship.

...

After a conversation, although Richelieu was somewhat reluctant, Robb let Barth and his party leave.

Now is not the time.

After seeing off the Vichy Papacy delegation, Rob did not return directly to Donghuang.

Once again, the Eternal headed to Dakar.

After the last incident, it was only a matter of time before this port came under the control of Free Iris.

What Robb needs to do is to provide a sufficient buffer zone for the officers and soldiers here.

Richelieu has already notified all the Free Iris ships to come and garrison here.

Once the people are in place, even the most ruthless and iron-blooded forces will have absolutely no way to deal with this place in the short term.

That night, the area around Dakar Port suddenly became unsettled.

A series of whooshing sounds rang out from above the port.

One after another, Robb family ships were setting off for battle.

For an army far behind the navy, any ship equipped with a new airframe would be invincible.

In one night, all hostile garrisons around the port of Dakar were wiped out.

In fact, the general stationed at Dakar once advised Richelieu to claim a piece of land there as a temporary territory for the Free Iris, so that both the fleet and the army would have a rear base.

However, Rob rejected this suggestion.

This magical continent's excellent matchmaking system makes its people quite remarkable.

If you want to use this place as your rear base, all Rob can say is, don't be so foolish.

After going around in circles for quite some time, Rob finally returned to his port.

Meanwhile, thanks to the round-the-clock work of Akashi and Shiranui's engineering teams, the port expansion project was nearing completion.

This means that Rob and the others will finally no longer have to sleep in the warship.

Looking at the port area that was beginning to take shape, Rob felt genuinely happy.

However, when he saw the small amusement park on the edge of the port area, he couldn't hold back.

"Is this on my itinerary?"

"Robo, Robo, I added this!"

Just then, a silly girl jumped out, pounced on Rob with a goofy grin, and kept rubbing her face against his.

Let's go have some fun together!

New Jersey has always had a strong interest in playing with Rob.

"Stop messing around, the paint isn't even dry yet."

After giving New Jersey a tap on the head, Rob had no choice but to accept the fact that there was such a small amusement park in his own port area.

After all, this idiot must have used some method to win over Yixian and the others so that Mingshi and the others could actually make this thing.

Chapter 226: Bringing Up the Old Matter

After returning from Europe, Rob finally got a proper two-month rest.

In the past two months, the trials on the Sakura Empire side have almost all come to an end.

Some of the ships with less serious offenses were disarmed and sent to various island nations in the southeast.

There, after being ravaged by the cannon fodder of the Sakura Empire, it is now a scene of utter devastation.

These Sakura Empire ships must rebuild the land they destroyed with their own hands.

As for the remaining ships that were found not guilty, after thorough screening, they were reinstated and began working to maintain security in the surrounding waters.

That day, Rob was resting when he suddenly received a message from Sakura Empire.

He said someone had brought him something.

After waiting for a long time, Rob discovered that the person who delivered the gift to him was none other than Xuefeng, whom he had met once before.

"Hmm... Normally, Lady Yukikaze should call you Commander Nanoda, but, hehehe, Lady Yukikaze hasn't really acknowledged you yet, so you still need to work harder, Nanoda!"

This destroyer, with its unique verbal tic, was one of the ships that was later declared innocent after the verdict.

Now, she is active in every corner of the Sakura Empire Sea every day.

"So, what did you bring me all this way?"

"Here, this is what Mikasa-senpai asked me to give you. It seems to be clothes or something like that."

Xuefeng pulled a huge package from behind him, which Rob took; it was quite heavy.

There was a note on top of the package.

Rob looked at it for a while and recognized it as Mikasa's notebook.

"Commander, your Sakura Empire commander's uniform is in the bag."

"Don't worry about the size, I've consulted Miss Yixian carefully."

"Your inauguration ceremony is next month, and your engagement to Lord Shinano will also take place on the same day. Please be prepared."

"Mikasa, yours sincerely."

"Huh? What does this say about nanoda?"

Seeing that Rob had been holding the note for a long time without making a move, Xuefeng's curiosity was piqued.

So she leaned closer, stood on tiptoe, and strained to see the little note in Rob's hand.

Her snow-white cat ears poked at Rob's chin, making him feel a little itchy.

"Eh...Eh!!!"

After carefully reading the handwriting on the note, Yukikaze exclaimed in surprise, even forgetting his own verbal tic.

Xuefeng quickly ran to the opposite side of Luo Bo, and she seemed a little reserved.

According to her logic, Rob should now be considered her direct superior.

"come over."

Seeing the cat ears twitching on Xuefeng's head, Rob, who had already given up, beckoned the other to come over.

Xuefeng nodded and ran back to Robo.

Rob reached out and gave Xuefeng's head a couple of hard pats; the feel was quite nice.

"Please pass on a message for me: I'd like to ask Mikasa or Nagato, either one or the other, as long as they're in charge, to come to me. I have something to say."

"I...I understand~"

...

Although the new port area has been completed, Rob and his crew have recently chosen to live on the two warships.

There's nothing else to it, but the smell in the house is just too much to bear. It looks like we'll have to wait until summer is over before we can officially move in.

The space on the warship is not particularly large.

When Rob returned carrying a bundle of things, he naturally attracted everyone's attention very quickly.

Then, within half an hour, everyone knew what was on the note.

"Hmph~ They still haven't given up..."

Zhenhai and the company tossed the note aside and exchanged glances.

Although they know that Robo will definitely have new Oathship ships in the future, it doesn't mean they will easily accept foreign ships.

"Anyway, I've already sent Mikasa and the others over. I was thinking that I already refused this request in the first place, so why is it being brought up again?"

Fortunately, this time, the wrath of their own Oathship ship was not directed at Robo.

They unanimously believed that the problem lay with the Sakura Empire.

It seems that Lord Ruo Xuefeng really does have good luck, lol.

...

A few days later, Mikasa, Shinano, and Noshiro, who accompanied them, arrived in the Eastern Empire.

"Commander, I see your new port area is already built, so why are you still working here?"

On the white wooden horse, Robo, along with Zhenhai and the others, received Mikasa and her group.

"Let it sit for a while, the smell is too strong."

"I said, what does 'engagement' mean?"

Without further ado, Rob took out the little note from back then.

"That's... what I mean."

Shinano, this ethereal Sakura Empire ship, has a very distinctive voice.

Her words, though serene, always carried a hint of dreamlike rambling.

With that huge tail behind her, if there really were fox spirits, she would probably look like this.

"Your actions, while effective... were too much of a shock to... the Sakura Empire people."

"The current Sakura Empire people need... a way to comfort themselves."

Upon hearing Shinano's words, Rob also recalled what St. Louis had reported to him earlier.

When taking over the Sakura Empire's economic industries, St. Louis discovered that the people of Sakura Empire generally had a misanthropic attitude.

The feeling was like having your faith shattered, losing your psychological solace, and feeling completely lost.

The atmosphere surrounding the Cherry Blossom Empire was so intense that it made the work in St. Louis very slow.

"So, I used too much force back then?"

"That's right~"

Mikasa held her teacup and looked at Rob with a smile.

Actually, she also played a part in this.

She knew very well that if Sakura Empire were to be brought under Robo's command in its current state, it would forever be inferior to the other factions.

Only by completely binding Sakura Empire and Robo together can Sakura Empire have any hope of rising again.

"Anyway, it's just a marriage in name only, you don't need to take it seriously."

Mikasa knew clearly that she couldn't rush things with Robo.

We need to let him gradually accept all of this.

Moreover, with Lord Shinano's charm, conquering Robb would be a piece of cake.

Thinking of this, Mikasa looked proudly at Shinano beside her.

Then, she heard Shinano's soft, rhythmic snoring.

As she turned her head, everyone looked at Shinano, the great fox of the Sakura Empire.

Rob was also astonished. This big fox had actually fallen asleep sitting up like that?

"Lord Shinano, Lord Shinano, wake up."

Noshiro, as a bodyguard, had ample experience in waking Shinano.

She pinched Shinano's ear, and Shinano woke up with a start, looking at everyone with a blank expression.

"Excuse me."

After waking Shinano, Noda bowed to everyone and then retreated to the back.

"I... am feeling a little sleepy, please... don't mind it..."

Even Shinano realized at this moment that he had been somewhat impolite.
