Azur Lane Mobile Front.

"Um... actually, there are some things I wanted to ask my brother-in-law."

When asked by Rob, Bumblebee, who was never good at keeping secrets, was ready to tell the whole story on the spot.

Fortunately, Rob reached out and stopped her.

Chapter 525: Bumblebee's Confusion

"You mean, things are in chaos again on the White Eagle side?"

In the small courtyard where Robo lived in Sakura Empire, he and Bumblebee sat on the ground.

After Bumblebee's explanation, Robo learned what had happened on White Eagle's side after he left.

"Brother-in-law, tell me, what exactly are those people after?"

"We fight so hard for everyone, yet they still don't understand us."

Rob tapped his fingers on the table.

The ships' initial actions were indeed too hasty.

Although the people in the headquarters were brought under control, the hidden forces behind the scenes were not affected.

Now, this group has begun to counterattack.

If we fail to hold on this time, things will likely become even more difficult to handle for the White Eagles.

"No, Bumblebee, the people who oppose you the most are usually the ones who understand your actions the most."

"They probably know better than you yourselves everything that the ships have done for the people."

"Then why?"

"Understanding doesn't mean they will support you."

"In the end, they will act in their own interests."

“Your previous actions caused them to suffer losses, and now they will definitely try to make up for those losses.”

"No...brother-in-law."

Hearing this, Bumblebee became even more confused.

"We just want to rescue the trapped people as quickly as possible. Can that really harm other people's interests?"

"Heh, why not?"

As he spoke, Rob slowly recounted the story of the human who approached him during the military procurement deal with White Eagle.

"So, the reasons given by those people currently marching are just a pretext?"

Bumblebee pondered for a while, and seemed to have figured something out.

"That's not necessarily true. After all, some people may simply be being misled."

"However, there must be someone among these people who is specifically in charge of organizing it."

"If you have someone specifically keep an eye on them, you might even be able to see them settling their wages when they leave work."

As he spoke, he picked up his teacup and took a small sip.

"what?!"

Bumblebee was clearly shocked by Rob's words; her mouth dropped open.

"No, brother-in-law, isn't it a bit too much to just leave it like this on the roadside..."

"Don't overcomplicate these things. If you don't believe me, you can let Saratoga and the others try it!"

"Yeah, that's true..."

Bumblebee scratched his head and secretly decided that he would send a message to Sarah later and ask her to try it out according to her brother-in-law's idea.

“However, brother-in-law, according to you, if we don’t find out who’s hiding behind this, we’ll be in trouble.”

"Does this kind of thing happen from time to time?"

"Definitely!"

"Unless Saratoga and the others make concessions and allow those people to regain their voice at headquarters."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid the White Eagles won't be able to stop."

"Moreover, I estimate that the conflict between humans and ships in the White Eagle will likely become increasingly serious."

"These...these bastards!"

Following Rob's advice, Bumblebee carefully envisioned the future of White Eagle.

Before long, cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

If everything Robb says comes true, then the White Eagle camp will likely never have a peaceful day.

"By the way, Bumblebee, remember to tell Sarah when you get back."

"Never make concessions unless absolutely necessary."

"You know, those guys are all insatiable bastards."

"If you take a step back, they will want to take three steps forward."

As if he had just thought of something, Rob added a comment to Bumblebee, who was still deep in thought.

"Brother-in-law, I still don't quite understand."

After thinking for a while, Bumblebee shook his head.

"Don't think about it if you haven't figured it out yet."

"Bumblebee, if you can't figure this out, why don't you go back to White Eagle and take a good look?"

"Look at what your ships really look like in the mouths of those people."

"And what did they get from the people of the White Eagle in this way?"

Rob stood up and patted Bumblebee on the shoulder.

In Rob's view, the White Eagle's problem is not so difficult.

However, it is not as simple as it seems.

The simplest way to handle this is to find those people hiding behind the scenes and send them to meet their maker.

Compared to those interests, in the eyes of these bastards, their own lives are ultimately more important.

After dealing with the most rebellious ones, win over those who are more moderate in their attitude.

The rest will be much easier.

However, this approach might be difficult for ships to accept.

Ships that are naturally inclined to be friendly towards humans can never truly turn against them.

Therefore, dealing with these things will be much more difficult.

Trying to feed this swarm of locusts that can't get enough to eat is probably as difficult as climbing to heaven.

...

The bumblebees come quickly and go quickly.

This is quite consistent with her style of doing things.

That same day, she returned to White Eagle.

However, this time, she did not go directly back to headquarters to report.

She concealed her appearance and silently watched the parades from various places.

Every now and then, she would chat with the people around her.

As the number of interactions increased, her understanding of the situation became more comprehensive.

That group of people is indeed using their own methods to continuously deceive the people.

However, people saw everything the ships did.

Whether it's the Sirens or the Red Axis, the ships are always at the forefront.

This has led to a significant divide among the American public regarding the ships.

They believed that the ships did indeed protect their safety.

However, at the same time, they also believed that the ships had taken away their living space.

This viewpoint is particularly popular among women in White Eagle.

As for why, Bumblebee hasn't figured it out yet.

However, there was one thing she understood.

Whether it's ships or people, in their eyes, they are nothing more than tools to make money.

As for what dangers or losses the ships and people might suffer, that was not their concern.

If siding with the Sirens could bring enough benefits, Bumblebee thinks these people are actually capable of doing it.

"Indeed, there are some things I can never forgive."

Having finished its journey, Bumblebee slowly walked back to headquarters.

She looked up at the sky.

"However, I believe that God can forgive them."

As he spoke, a bright smile appeared on Bumblebee's face.

"Hello, Gridley? Can you do me a favor?"

Then, she took out her communicator and contacted her journalist friend.

Chapter 526: Iron-Blooded Infiltrators of White Eagle

As it turns out, this practice of subcontracting at multiple levels can indeed lead to problems.

Those powerful figures who stir up trouble behind the scenes, although they are relatively good at hiding themselves.

However, the "tasks" they assigned, after being subcontracted layer by layer, resulted in a wide range of skill levels among the people responsible for carrying them out.

Thanks to Hornet's special reminder, not only Gridley, but even ships that hadn't paid any attention to this matter noticed the anomaly.

With the help of Gridley and human journalists who were inclined towards ships, the ships actually saw these things, earning daily wages by the roadside, right on time every day.

"Um, Bumblebee... I'm wondering if this could be a trap?"

As the saying goes, when the other person is stupid to a certain extent, you can't tell whether they are genuinely stupid or just pretending.

The absurd maneuver left Bumblebee with a head full of questions.

"Well... don't worry about that for now, just keep investigating."

The same problem also occurred in Saratoga.

As Saratoga's staunch supporter, Gridley would certainly share this information with Saratoga.

When Saratoga first saw these eye-catching photos, her immediate thought was whether someone was playing a prank on her.

I'm constantly being driven crazy by opponents of this caliber.

...

Although Gridley's investigation yielded some results.

However, it is clearly not enough to completely resolve this large-scale uprising in the White Eagles.

Catching a few small fish and shrimp won't solve the problem at all.

On the contrary, rash action could alert the enemy and cause the situation to escalate in a more serious direction.

However, the deeper he investigated, the more obstacles Gridley encountered.

As for White Eagle, as a ship, there's not much she can actually do in the media field.

Most media outlets are controlled by humans.

Even though the ships now control the most official media, their voices seem so insignificant in the face of the vast amount of media controlled by humans.

What frustrates the ships even more is that, due to public opinion, they cannot use coercive measures for the time being.
