Azur Lane Mobile Front.

He only needs to pay a small price to make the White Eagles bleed a lot.

If handled properly, Rob has no doubt that this cunning cat will be able to swindle even the White Eagle's underwear back.

"So here's the problem: who's going to bring that cunning cat over here?"

Rob looked up and around.

"If I remember correctly, that cunning cat should still be working on her malfunctioning instrument."

"Hmm~ Since I'm in charge of this military procurement, then naturally I'll go."

St. Louise then stepped forward and said she would take care of it.

...

Before long, the obviously haggard-looking swindler cat was brought to Rob's side.

"Um... Commander, I haven't gotten any results yet, meow."

"Could you... give me a little more time...?"

At this moment, this green-haired, cunning cat looks quite ominous.

Not only did its fur lack luster, but it also had very noticeable dark circles under its eyes.

To turn a ship into this state is beyond simple cultivation.

Even Rob was taken aback.

"Ms. Akashi, why don't you go wash your face first? I don't think you can talk business in the way you are right now."

"Meow?"

After a few seconds, Akashi looked up with some confusion.

"Well, even this cat is delayed!"

"Commander, you still don't quite understand Miss Akashi~"

Seeing that Rob felt Akashi might not be up to the task, St. Louis said confidently.

"With just a little stimulation, Miss Akashi, you'll be back to normal~"

As he spoke, under Rob's curious gaze, St. Louis pulled a coin out of his pocket.

Then, she forcefully flicked the coin into the air.

The coin made a crisp chime.

Visibly, the green-haired, cunning cat began to perk up.

"Meow!"

To the horror of the group, the green cat, which had just looked listless, suddenly pounced on the coin that was still spinning in the air like an arrow.

She precisely pocketed the coin in her hand, then performed a graceful flip and landed steadily.

By the time everyone could see her clearly again, the coin had disappeared.

"I must say, it was fantastic."

"Um... Akashi..."

The cunning cat was embarrassed; what had just happened was purely a conditioned reflex.

However, she doesn't know how to explain it now.

"Alright, Ms. Akashi. I didn't call you here to ask about that instrument."

"But there's a deal I'd like to discuss with you."

"Of course, you can refuse."

Akashi immediately became interested upon hearing about the deal.

"What kind of transaction, meow? How much can I earn, meow?"

Thinking to himself, "As expected, it's still that same cunning cat I know," Rob gestured for St. Louis to take over the conversation.

St. Louis, understanding the unspoken message, pulled Akashi aside and made him sit down.

Subsequently, the two ships, which should have been rivals in the commercial mountain, began to discuss cooperation.

As St. Louis explained, Akashi's face gradually revealed that familiar smile.

"Hmm~ In that case, Akashi won't make much profit."

"Ah, no, it's that the Commander didn't make much profit."

"How about, Commander, you give Akashi some room to improvise, meow?"

"Once it's done, all we need to do is let Akashi take a small cut of the profits, meow!"

After listening to St. Louis's explanation, Akashi offered her suggestions to Rob.

Chapter 458: Sirius User Manual

With the collaboration of St. Louis and Zhenhai, a fairly detailed contract was drafted.

Based on the principle of ensuring that both sides can make money, Rob formally invited Akashi to serve as the representative for this arms trade negotiation.

To better motivate this cunning cat, the contract even included some betting clauses.

However, it's not hard to tell from the cunning cat's spirited appearance.

She thought the job Rob gave her was very lucrative.

"Mmm~ As expected, Commander is Akashi's god, meow~"

If there hadn't been someone watching nearby, Rob wouldn't have doubted that the cunning cat would have sidled up to him.

Seeing the other party's appearance, Rob repeatedly asked St. Louis and Zhenhai whether they were letting this cunning cat take advantage of them.

Of course, these are things to follow.

Anyway, when the negotiations officially began the next day, the White Eagle representative's expression when he saw this green-haired, cunning cat was priceless.

Before the negotiations even began, Mr. Woods immediately contacted Rob.

"Um, Commander Rob...and this...Ms. Akashi...is she also a staff member of the Guigang District?"

Although the green cat looks cute and adorable, anyone who knows even a little about her knows that...

This cat is truly ruthless; it eats people without spitting out the bones.

So when Mr. Woods came to confirm the situation with Rob, he was crying.

"Ah, no, it's just a simple employment relationship."

"Oh, really... I understand!"

He wiped the sweat from his brow. Woods thought to himself, since he hadn't actually joined their ranks yet, there was still room for maneuver.

Watching the other person's departing figure, Rob and St. Louis beside him couldn't help but chuckle.

"Do you think White Eagle might try to bribe Akashi?"

"Definitely!"

St. Louis covered his mouth, his whole body trembling from laughing uncontrollably.

The towering bridge, trembling with the swaying of the ship's body, drew Rob's attention.

"Moreover, I'm sure Akashi also received benefits from White Eagle."

"Anyway, it was written in the contract."

As he spoke, St. Louis glanced at Rob.

"Also, Commander, you can't watch it outside~"

With a charmingly disdainful glance at Rob, St. Louis swayed gracefully as she went to make final preparations for the negotiations.

"Not outside?"

Luo Bo pondered the sentence, feeling that there was a lot of information contained in those few words.

...

With Akashi's involvement, the negotiation situation quickly shifted in Rob's favor.

This was also Rob's first time observing such business negotiations up close.

In the past, his petty antics were nothing compared to what he's doing now.

On the White Eagle side, everyone involved in the negotiations was sweating profusely.

Just dealing with Akashi alone—no, wait, just one cat—is already quite a challenge.

With the assistance of St. Louis, the White Eagles' personnel truly had their eyes opened.

As fellow members of the White Eagle camp, how come I've never heard of this St. Louis's outstanding business acumen before?

...

During halftime, the White Eagles personnel couldn't wait to make contact with Akashi.

And all of this, naturally, could not escape Rob's eyes.

However, Rob was quite concerned about the other party's unusual insistence on some minor details during the previous negotiations.

"Because they want to close this deal, the core issues won't specifically conflict with my interests."

"But in order to buy enough time, are we choosing to stalemate over these insignificant issues?"

While enjoying the warmth of spending time with Belfast, Rob connected the things he had discussed with Saratoga with the current situation.

"As expected, what shady things are White Eagle up to?"

“Belfa, tell Dean Saratoga to begin the operation at dinner tonight.”

"I believe she can't wait any longer either."

Fortunately, Rob still has enough resources.

...

The afternoon negotiations were exactly the same as the morning's.

The two sides will soon reach an agreement on the core issues.

And White Eagles did indeed demonstrate the true nature of a nouveau riche who "doesn't care about money".

The price of the pre-ordered unit was several times higher than Rob had previously estimated.

Of course, none of this really mattered to Rob.

Because the trap Akashi set for White Eagle wasn't even in the main body of the machine transaction.

She prepared an extremely complex and cumbersome supplementary contract for the White Eagles.

There are at least a hundred or so items in total.

Even Rob himself gets dizzy looking at this thing.

Moreover, for some reason, Rob felt a sense of déjà vu about these terms.

For example, X-Motion, LianX, and the like.

Soon, it was time for dinner.

At the same hotel as last time, Rob had prepared a banquet to welcome the visiting White Eagle delegation.

To be honest, this is what Donghuang is like now.

If we could turn back the clock a little, these White Eagle delegations alone could have eaten the Eastern Empire out of business.

"Sirius, go to the kitchen and bring her the soup I specially ordered for Dean Saratoga."

Seeing that it was almost time, Rob gave Saratoga a wink.

Saratoga understood immediately and picked up the bowl.

"As expected, Sarah's kindness to you back then wasn't for nothing!"

"They even made soup especially for Sarah!"

Upon hearing Saratoga's words, Rob almost jumped up.
