Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

Yang Sikang smiled:

"I'm far from being that smart, but someone should be able to do the planning and layout."

Chapter 153: View from the Seaside

The next day.

Yang Sikang first packed all the things unloaded from the cargo ship according to the original plan, and then took them back after the exercise.

It took two days, with a small episode in between.

For Wichita and the others, this amount of time is still not enough.

However, the activity of the Sirens has increased after the appearance of the Purifier, and with the current combat power of Yang Sikang's team, there is basically no major danger as long as the Purifier does not appear in person.

Replacing training with actual combat has both advantages and disadvantages.

But for others, Yang Sikang's training method is obviously very popular.

Because his fleet combat training can help others deal with many opponents and greatly reduce the risks they need to take.

Moreover, the port area’s rewards will not be shared.

For Yang Sikang, although this kind of training is relatively inefficient, it can effectively hone the coordination between the ship girls in actual combat and identify many problems that are difficult to find in conventional training.

Although there is no pay, the time is relatively free and there is no need to patrol at a fixed time period.

Of course, this is mainly based on the premise that Yang Sikang is not in as urgent need of resources as other commanders.

Under the current circumstances, his efficiency in obtaining resources such as material coins and mind cubes through commissioned tasks is many times higher than that of others, and he does not have to worry about the issue of ship equipment at all.

For now, his financial situation is already very good.

However, in reality, Yang Sikang's current situation is only good financially in his normal life, but in terms of ship girls, his resources are quite scarce.

His research involves the Mind Cube and ship equipment. Although he can get those obsolete ship equipment from the home port as research materials, most of the time he still has to exchange them to obtain some relatively mainstream ship equipment for data comparison.

Researching this kind of thing is basically a bottomless pit once you get into it.

Especially in the research on the mind cube and ship equipment, the resources invested will directly consume the mind cube.

Fortunately, Yang Sikang's research has always been more step-by-step, and he is not so ruthless, so the number of wasted mind cubes can be controlled. But for others, the amount of consumption in his research is already exaggerated.

And this is based on the premise that he does not have the ability to conduct in-depth analysis of the Rubik's Cube.

"Master, should we dispose of these things directly?"

In the office on the second floor of the villa, Yang Sikang, who had been reading leisurely here for the first time in a long time, turned his head and looked at Belfast. She was holding a stack of documents in her hand, which seemed to be sorted out from the filing cabinet next to her.

Yang Sikang thought about it and nodded:

"Just get rid of it. Those are documents that don't need a response."

"Ok."

Belfast looked at the names of the documents, smiled, and took them all to the shredder for disposal.

"You've been able to relax recently, so why don't you go out for a walk? The kids around the port area have been asking about you a lot lately."

"Come to think of it, it seems like it has been a long time since I went to the beach to play with the kids."

Yang Sikang closed the psychology book in his hand and rubbed his eyes.

It's clearly a long-awaited break time, but I can hardly concentrate on reading the book I'm holding.

What I read previously was immediately forgotten, so there is not much point in continuing reading.

"Are Jarvis and Janus still in the hospital?"

"Ms. Mavis and the Goddess of the Kitchen said they wanted to thank the two of them for their help during this period. They should be in a restaurant now."

"Is that so? Then call the javelin and we'll go to the beach to have some fun."

The long-awaited trip to the beach was an exciting thing for Javelin and the children, but for Yang Sikang, he was still the same as before, just watching from afar on the embankment.

The difference might be that he has Belfast and Sirius around him, or that there are a few more older kids besides Craven and McCall among the people playing and the ship girls.

But when he saw the ordinary children and the ship girls living in harmony, a smile always appeared on his face unconsciously.

He always looked very happy at such times, and Belfast beside him also smiled, but Belfast only had eyes for him.

Time seemed to have been accelerated, and only when the sun was setting and the sunlight was becoming dim did the children's parents come to take them away.

Under the setting sun, only Yang Sikang and others were left on the beach.

Craven and McCall were chatting with Javelin while cleaning up the beach. Not far away on the sea, Counterattack could be seen, seemingly looking for something with Wichita.

“It would be great if times like this could last forever.”

Yang Sikang chuckled and muttered. Although his voice was very low, Belfast still responded:

"Master, you must make such scenes exist forever."

"Ah……"

Yang Sikang sighed lightly and shook his head helplessly:

"It's time to go back."

"Yes, Master. Sirius?"

"Belfast looked at Sirius strangely. Just now Sirius suddenly looked into the distance seriously, but there was clearly nothing there.

Belfast's voice brought Sirius back to her senses. She seemed to realize that Yang Sikang and Belfast were looking at her, and she quickly bent down to apologize:

"I'm so sorry, I suddenly felt like someone was watching us, so..."

"Looking at us?"

Yang Sikang also looked in the direction Sirius had previously looked. The sea there was empty, with nothing on it.

Counterattack and Wichita were in that direction, and now they were preparing to return. On the other side, cargo ships could be seen in the distance heading for the port, and from time to time one or two speedboats passed by on the sea.

Yang Sikang frowned slightly. He still believed in intuition, but there was indeed nothing unusual about this.

And compared to them, Counterattack and Wichita are obviously much closer.

"It seems there is nothing."

"I am so sorry, my proud master."

"No, it's good to be vigilant."

After Fan Zheng and Wichita came back, Yang Sikang also asked about this matter again. However, no one found anything unusual, so the matter was dropped.

After everyone left, in the direction that Sirius had looked at earlier, a young girl quietly floated up from under the sea, patted her chest and let out a long sigh.

"It was so dangerous, so dangerous, I was almost discovered. Hmm, the ship girl next to the commander was too perceptive, she almost discovered me."

The girl lowered her head, but there was no reflection of her below the sea surface. Instead, there was the 'observer' wrapped in something like ink.

"We have a deal. This time we have to wait patiently. It will be terrible if the commander finds us. Got it?"

As she spoke, she glanced in the direction Yang Sikang left and sighed:

"Okay, we should go back."

Chapter 154 Donghuang's Trouble

In an office building in a home port of Donghuang.

Zhenhai frowned slightly as he looked at the news coming from the other side of the world.

She has been in this state for a long time. Although she occasionally seems to have an idea, she will quickly shake her head and return to this state.

There was a knock on the door from outside. Zhenhai reluctantly put down the wrinkled document that he had been flipping through and tried to calm himself down.

"Come in."

"Ms. Zhenhai, Miss Yixian is here and is waiting for you in small conference room No. 3."

"Yi Xian is here? Is it already this time?"

Zhenhai looked at the clock on the desk and nodded.

"I understand. You go down first."

The staff did not leave, Zhenhai frowned again and asked:

"Anything else?"

"Yes...Ms. Lin Shuqin wants to see you, but the transfer station didn't transfer you because she refused to explain her purpose."

"So, she came to you?"

"Yes."

"Oh, okay. I'll contact her later. Anything else?"

"Ms. Zhenhai, you haven't had a good rest for two days."

"I see."

Zhenhai waved his hand, and the staff member had no choice but to leave.

After the door closed, Zhenhai sighed and shook his head:

"How can I rest now? Sigh."

After sorting out her thoughts and calming down, she went to small meeting room No. 3.

Yixian had been sitting inside waiting for a long time. When Zhenhai pushed open the door and came in, Yixian seemed relieved.

"What's wrong? You seem anxious?"

"Of course I'm anxious. You should have read those documents, right?"

"I've seen it. I'm worried now. It seems that you don't have any good solution?"

Yixian nodded and said helplessly:

"Something happened over there at White Eagle at this time, and the person who discovered it seems to be the commander you mentioned before."

"Those are minor matters. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is handling the relevant matters. Let them discuss it first, and we can wait here. As for the important matter, what should we do about it?"

"That guy who disrupted our exercise... is really troublesome."

More than a month ago, a strange figure inexplicably appeared in Donghuang's training ground.

The reason why it is weird is that, on the one hand, her image is completely unclear, and the whole person is shrouded in a black fog that cannot be detected or seen through, but judging from the limited appearance that can be seen, it should be a ship girl.

On the other hand, it depends on the opponent's actions. Since their appearance, they have done nothing except suddenly appearing in the middle of their exercises and fighting a big fight with them.

There was no damage, no communication, and not even any pursuit of the defeated ship girls after the victory.

This strange ship girl seemed to have appeared only for the battle, and fighting itself seemed to be her purpose.

However, whenever Zhenhai and Yixian organized a formal battle and prepared to have a good fight with each other, the other side would not show up.

But when you think everything is fine and are ready to return to normal, she appears again.

This situation has seriously affected their normal operations, and they have tried to change to other exercise areas, but the result was the same.

The other party was so elusive that it was impossible to track him down. It was as if he appeared out of nowhere and then disappeared out of nowhere again.

"If this continues, we won't be able to complete the exercise objectives. Without data support, the research institute will also..."

"But if we just go all out, the other party won't show up. And the other party's combat power is obviously far superior to our commander. In regular exercises, there is no opponent who can compete with that guy..."

"What about the previous proposal?"

"no!"

Zhenhai shook his head, frowning.

Before, Yixian mentioned a possibility, which was to find Commander Yang to see if this problem could be solved.

However, this proposal was directly rejected by Zhenhai.

"The previous leak left the commander with a very bad impression of us at Donghuang. Although we handled it well afterwards, it still left a bad impression. He has no connection with us, and from the perspective of interests, we took advantage of him greatly before."

"In this situation, if we ask him to come to our place for help, what will happen to us? Besides, he is now in White Eagle. If this matter gets out, we will lose face in Donghuang. Those people in White Eagle will not be polite to us."

"But if we talk about the combat effectiveness of a single commander, the only ones who can compare with that person are probably the veteran commanders. But Zhenhai, you also know that each of those veteran commanders is in a very important position."
