Azur Lane Mobile Front.

Akagi went to such great lengths to acquire this seemingly useless device from Ironblood; she couldn't possibly have kept this technology sealed away. She must have already started implementing it somewhere.

"Commander, you know what, I actually found out."

Mikasa walked to the vicinity of the map, pointed to the waters near Australia.

"The floating island fortress left behind by Akagi is right here."

Rob estimated the distance between this thing and the Sakura Empire's homeland and was somewhat bewildered.

"What is Akagi trying to do?"

At this distance, Rob was certain it wasn't meant to be used against him.

Judging by the speed at which this thing is designed, by the time it arrives in Sakura Empire, Robo will have already plowed the Sakura Empire ten or eight times over.

"She wants to establish a second base?"

Looking at Australia on the map, Rob suddenly had this option pop into his mind.

This land is absolutely rich in resources.

However, due to the blockade of Sakura Empire's air routes by Azur Lane, especially by Eagle Union, Australian resources simply cannot reach Sakura Empire's homeland.

Following this line of thought, Rob quickly figured out why Akagi had traded Ironblood for a sea fortress.

"Let's go take a look at this thing."

After staring at the map for a long time, Rob suddenly blurted out this sentence.

"Go take a look? Commander, are you crazy? That's where the Sirens gather."

"I think that Akagi left behind more than just a fortress there."

"If I'm not mistaken, Akagi has another secret base in Australia that no one knows about."

After saying all this, Rob couldn't help but sigh that he had acted at the perfect time.

If this drags on any longer, Akagi might actually turn the tables on us.

After hearing Rob's words, Mikasa, Nagato, and Shinano all became interested.

Currently, Sakura Empire faces significant shortcomings in various aspects.

Being able to take a bite of Chicheng's "legacy" and bear a little risk doesn't seem like an unacceptable thing.

"Commander, this matter probably requires further discussion."

"It's okay, I also need to make some preparations on my side."

Rob nodded, which was an agreement with Mikasa's statement.

Taking the Sakura Empire on an "adventure" to Australia, Robo certainly wasn't just going there to see what "legacy" Akagi had left behind.

He had other motives.

Through his marriage alliance with Shinano, he gained sufficient influence in Sakura Empire.

But this is not enough.

If what St. Louis is doing now is to control Sakura Empire economically.

So, what Robo needs to do is to gain military control over Sakura Empire.

As a commander, the simplest way to build affinity with a ship is to go to battle with it.

Through experience gained on the battlefield, ships become willing to obey the commander's orders.

As for Robo, he has never even seen many of the Sakura Empire's ships.

This time, Rob is going to lead the remaining ships of the Sakura Empire into a battle of considerable scale.

Then, they would identify promising talents and recruit them into their ranks.

...

"Commander, haven't you been a little too 'lively' lately?"

When Zhenhai and the others, far away in Donghuang, heard that Luo Bo was going to hold another large-scale combat operation, they all showed a helpless expression on their faces.

Our own commander seems to have barely rested since returning from the NA seas.

"Overworking can have a significant impact on your health."

"You don't want to fall ill at such a young age, do you?"

Following Zhenhai, Yixian also expressed his opinion.

In their view, Sakura Empire should just handle its own internal affairs.

Even if Chicheng had a mountain of gold in Australia, there's no need to rush things.

"It's okay, I'll take care of myself."

Robo was naturally touched by the concern shown by his own ship.

But things still need to be done.

There was no other way; there were too many things to do and too little time, so Rob didn't have much time to waste.

"By the way, how's the situation in York City these past few days?"

Since Yorktown awakened the second stage of Virgo Jewel, her eyesight has been somewhat affected.

Although Robb did know the method of restoration, he had no way to help Yorktown.

The simplest way to eliminate the side effects of using the power of the second-stage jewel is to awaken the third-stage jewel.

Even in the original story, very few people could actually achieve this, and Robb really didn't know how to help Yorktown.

"The lady hasn't shown any unusual behavior in the past two days."

"The company has always been by her side."

"In her own words, the situation is getting better every day."

Yi Xian recalled the White Eagle ship that had recently arrived at the port and whose face always wore an unyielding sadness, and then recounted the current situation in Yorktown.

"But lately, Yorktown seems to keep mentioning you, Commander, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Is something going on?"

"Is that so..."

After listening to Yi Xian's story, Luo Bo pondered for a moment.

Some things you have to face sooner or later.

Whether it's him or Yorktown, running away won't help.

"Well then, let's leave it at that for now. Zhenhai, Yixian, you should start making preparations on your side as well."

"At that time, we will inevitably need your help."

After ending the call with the port area, Rob sighed.

"There's so much to do! I can't even think about slacking off..."

Just as Robo and Mikasa were talking, a figure quietly sneaked into Robo's room.

"That damn maid, her skills are way too exaggerated!"

"However, none of this can stop Taihou..."

Taihou skillfully climbed through the window into Robo's room; it was clear at a glance that this new Sakura Empire armored carrier had plenty of experience in this area.

The room was empty at the moment; Belfast and the others were with Rob.

"Ah~ the Commander's scent..."

From the wardrobe, Dafeng took out a piece of Rob's underwear, pressed it against her face, and inhaled deeply.

Judging from his appearance, he's a repeat offender who could easily be sentenced to at least ten or eight years in prison.

"Hmph~ I'll take this Taihou..."

After stuffing Rob's underwear into her own clothes, Taifeng skillfully climbed out the window again.

Chapter 289: Sister-in-law and sister-in-law?

To date, Rob still maintains the habit of taking a bath once a day, whenever possible.

After returning from Mikasa's place, and seeing that there was nothing else to do and that he was indeed a bit tired lately, Robo decided that he should wash up and go to bed early.

Seeing this, Belfast naturally cooperated by preparing clothes for Rob.

However, when she opened the wardrobe, a chill crept onto her beautiful face.

"This place has been ransacked..."

Belfast noticed something was amiss at first glance.

As the head maid of the royal family, she also has extensive experience in the affairs of the secret front.

After all, in Belfast's code of conduct, a perfect maid is one who can handle all matters for her master.

"Sirius, go check the surrounding area."

Belfast called out Sirius softly; it was too trivial for her to bother Rob.

"Yes."

Sirius, if you don't let her handle internal affairs, then she is perfect.

With years of experience as a guard, she is even more outstanding than Belfast in this regard.

The maid, who had initially appeared somewhat timid, instantly sharpened her eyes like a hawk the moment she received the order, carefully observing every corner of the room.

Sirius quickly discovered some subtle traces on the window.

"Head maid, over here."

Belfast frowned as he stared at the fine marks on the window frame.

These few traces alone are not enough to determine what kind of person did it.

"Dido, have you taken stock of the lost items?"

"Only the owner's clothes were lost."

This answer left Belfast somewhat stunned.

Given Rob's status, it's normal for him to be targeted.

However, Belfast never expected that the other party would sneak into Rob's room and only take a piece of underwear.

This behavior is less about a dangerous person and more about a pervert, isn't it?

Thinking of this, Belfast thought of the Royal Navy's aircraft carrier.

However, even that seemingly cool aircraft carrier has never done such a thing.

Because she always falls ill in front of people.

"Belfa, I'm done washing."

Rob's voice could be heard coming from the bathroom.

"Master, I understand!"

Rob's shouts interrupted Belfast's train of thought.

Immediately putting aside what was in front of him, Belfast headed straight for the bathroom.

Appearing immediately when her master needs her is also her creed as a maid.

...

In his residence in Shinano, Noshiro, a close attendant, is greeting an unexpected guest.

The unicorn hugged Yu-chan tightly, its eyes fixed on Shinano.

Her feelings were quite complicated.

The big fox sister in front of me is a very good friend of mine. The two of us have been true friends for a long time.

However, the big fox sister is now her brother's fiancée, which makes the unicorn somewhat dislike her.

These two opposing emotions left the unicorn unsure of its feelings towards Shinano.

So, she took advantage of the night and went to Shinano's residence to meet this big fox sister in person.
