Azur Lane Mobile Front.

"Perfect timing, we still have some things to discuss over there, let's take care of them together."

As soon as Yixian finished speaking, Luo Bo followed up with a supplementary explanation.

"In that case, I have no other objections."

...

Northern Union, Soviet Union Office.

"Donghuang has already agreed."

"What that person means is that the organization's meetings will be held in rotation among the various participating factions from now on."

"Because we were the first to propose it, they chose us this time."

Kronstadt looked somewhat excited at that moment.

Having just received a reply from Rob, she rushed to the Soviet Union to report the good news.

"Oh, it seems we need to start preparing immediately."

"In every aspect..."

Chapter 768: The Shipboard Instructor, Mr. Luo (Mistakenly)

Although at the time they confidently stated that the meeting was proposed by the Northern Union, the venue was chosen to be the Northern Union.

However, when Rob actually set foot on this frozen land in the north again, he immediately regretted it.

During this season, the lands of the Northern Union are mostly in the midst of severe cold.

The biting cold wind unique to the North had only been blowing for a moment when it struck Luo, and he was frozen solid.

So, after getting off the plane, Rob went straight into his hotel and had no intention of going out again.

Anyway, meetings are just a matter of moving from one room to another.

"Now I understand why New Jersey doesn't want to make this trip with me."

Huddled in his room, feeling the warmth from the heater, Rob felt a little drowsy.

He shifted a few times, making the large fox tail covering him even more tightly envelop him.

Before setting off, when Rob was choosing his accompanying ships, New Jersey, who was usually the most active in this process, immediately shrank to the back of the crowd.

It seems that this silly creature is indeed afraid of the cold.

Fortunately, Robo brought Shinano with him.

Putting aside everything else, Shinano's large tail is indeed quite effective at keeping warm.

"Um... Mr. Luo..."

However, Shinano felt somewhat embarrassed to have his tail being held so tightly.

If it were just the two of them alone, Shinano would naturally feel no psychological pressure.

Even if Luo did something even more outrageous, she wouldn't care at all.

However, in the room now, besides the ships from the port area, there are also ships from the Northern Union.

"Oh! Sure enough, I've felt this tail is so warm since the beginning."

Mercury Memorial, who came to make initial contact with Donghuang, also squatted down in front of Robo and Shinano, looking at Shinano's big tail with eager anticipation.

"Cough, it is indeed warm, but my Shinano is not used to people touching her tail, so I'm sorry."

Rob could still understand the look in his theoretically fiancée's eyes.

So, even though Luo himself was still holding Shinano's tail in his arms, he righteously declared that you should not touch Shinano's tail.

"Huh?! How could this happen?!"

Mercury Memorial, which was probably older than all the ships present, let out a childlike wail after being rejected by Robo on behalf of Shinano.

Well, although I've said it many times, this senior is still a bit too lively.

"Alright, as you just said, the meeting can begin once the people from Sardinia arrive, right?"

"Yes, that's right!"

Although she was replying to Rob, Mercury's eyes were still fixed on Shinano's big tail with lingering affection.

"Alright, although I don't know why I brought Veneto along, Littorio still has to come in person."

"In short, the meeting can start the day after tomorrow at the latest."

As he spoke, Rob looked at Veneto on the other side of the room.

At that moment, Veneto, with his puffed-up cheeks, sat alone in a corner, sulking.

It was obvious that her younger sister's dismissive attitude towards her was making her feel uncomfortable.

"That's right, now that the message has been delivered, I'll be going now~"

"Yes, if Commander is free tonight, we have also prepared a banquet."

"No, no, no, forget it. Comrade Mercury Memorial, you know I don't like drinking."

"Eh..."

Rejected by Rob, Mercury Memorial left somewhat disappointed.

The others also returned to their rooms one after another.

"Veneto, wait a moment."

Robb called out to Veneto, who was walking at the back.

To be honest, even in the Eastern Empire, Robo didn't meet the current flagship of the Sardinian Empire, who was "studying" there.

Of all the companies in Donghuang, Haitian was probably the closest to Veneto.

Haitian, who possesses the qualities of a literary girl, has a large collection of books.

Veneto spent much of his time reading.

Over time, the two became good friends.

"Commander, is there anything I can help you with?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to talk to you."

"Oh~"

Veneto nodded, then sat back down.

"How have you felt about your time in Donghuang?"

"Will this help you revive Romulus's ideals?"

"Well..."

Originally, Veneto thought Rob would talk to him about things in Sardinia, but to his surprise, the other man's opening remarks seemed to be completely different.

A hint of confusion appeared on her face, as if she herself did not have a definite answer to Rob's question.

"It seems that you yourself don't have a definite answer."

Seeing Veneto's confused expression, Rob smiled slightly.

Sure enough, the somewhat clueless Sardinian flagship still couldn't find her answer.

"Then let's try a different approach."

"You have your own image of Romulus, but do you know what Romulus looks like in the eyes of Littorio, Rome, and the Skyhawks?"

"Huh?!"

Veneto's eyes widened, and his surprised expression was rather cute.

"Okay, looks like you didn't know."

"So, do you still remember Marco Polo?"

Having already received the answer, Rob changed the subject again.

Marco Polo?

"Ah, yes, that's Marco Polo."

"Yes, I spoke with her once before."

As he spoke, a look of reminiscence crossed Rob's face.

"Back when she was still in Sardinia, she conducted a special investigation into this matter, do you remember?"

"Hmm...it seems like that's true."

Veneto frowned and tried to recall the incident carefully; she did indeed remember it.

“I remember that Marco Polo asked us to write down our ideal vision of Romulus, or rather the future of the Sardinian Empire, on paper and hand it in.”

"However, it seems that nothing came of it, so no one took it seriously."

"Of course there will be no follow-up."

At this point, Rob smiled.

"After Marco Polo collected all the notes, guess what the result was?"

"Everyone's writing is completely different from what they're writing about."

"To paraphrase Marco Polo, your entire Sardinian Empire couldn't even dream of being together."

"A camp without even a unified general direction—that's the current state of the Sardinian Empire."

"Do you understand what I'm saying, Miss Veneto?"

After saying that, Rob looked at Neto, who was deep in thought.

Chapter 769: The Calculating Northern Alliance Ships

"If you still don't understand, take a good look at these ships of the Northern Union while you're here."

"Take a look at them, see what kind of ships they are."

With Rob's last two words in mind, Veneto returned to his room in a daze.

"We finally managed to fool them."

Robb breathed a sigh of relief after Veneto left.

Rob did not lie to Veneto about what he had said before.

Marco Polo actually made that assessment of the Sardinian Empire's ships.

However, there were reasons why Rob chose this particular moment to speak with Veneto.

Littorio is coming, so I should at least find her something to do.

Robert thought it was a good idea to let her deal with her older sister, who had just undergone a round of ideological baptism.

It's worth noting that Littorio is considered a notorious "playboy" in the naval community.

If we don't give her something to do, she'll start stirring up trouble for other ships.

In addition, Rob did indeed intend to bring the Sardinian Empire into this flashback.

Distract Littorio with something; it will make things go more smoothly during the negotiations.

...

When the meeting was held as scheduled, Robb could clearly see that Littorio was somewhat listless.

He was probably annoyed to death by Veneto.

Noticing Rob's gaze, Littorio nodded slightly in greeting.

...

The first half of the meeting had nothing new on the agenda.

It's nothing more than a summary of the previous two cross-world expeditions.

The most crucial topic in the second half of the meeting was the discussion on whether the Sardinian Empire should join the organization.

At this point, everyone could see that Littorio, who was representing the Sardinian Empire at the meeting, was somewhat distracted.
