Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

Yang Sikang chuckled:

"There are a lot of eyes looking at me and us now. Everyone is waiting for us to come up with something. In this case, wouldn't it be interesting for us to do the experiment in this most conspicuous place?"

"There's a saying in Donghuang that the most dangerous place is the safest place. Is that what you mean?"

"That's what I mean. Everyone is watching this side, so fewer people will actually pay attention to those minor issues. The more you try to hide it, the easier it will be to be discovered. I want to try to do the experiment right under their noses."

"If they really didn't realize it at all, they will probably be so angry with you that they will get sick when they find out the truth."

Belfast said with a smile, but then changed the subject:

"But as for the transformation, I'm afraid our current progress is not enough to support actual testing."

"But the transformation of mass production is relatively simple."

Yang Sikang said:

"Mass production modifications are more intuitive, and failures are less problematic and easier to handle. Most importantly, we now have a handle on how to charge the Mind Cube."

Belfast thought for a moment and said:

"But if we want to transform it, it might be difficult to use the ship equipment."

"The parts of San Diego's transformation that need to be done can still be done. I plan to start with the installation of the SG radar."

"SG radar..."

Belfast understood Yang Sikang's plan.

Before, the SG radar on Yang Sikang’s command ship had played a very strong effect, so no one would find it strange even if he needed the SG radar now.

After all, a reliable SG radar has fully demonstrated its value, and it is natural that Yang Sikang is reluctant to give up the effect of the SG radar.

Starting from this aspect is the best and most appropriate entry point for Yang Sikang.

And once his first attempt is successful, subsequent problems will quickly become smaller.

Belfast looked at the San Diego in the dock, his eyes full of anticipation.

If Yang Sikang's attempt is successful this time, his research progress on ship modification will be accelerated at once.

Belfast's mind was racing, but she soon calmed down.

No matter how big the subsequent impact will be, that will come after success. At this stage, there are still many things she can do.

"Ms. Enterprise has given me a lot of authority recently. In addition, the documents of trade transactions on the home port can also be obtained through Shangri-La. Commander, do you think I need to prepare anything?"

Yang Sikang smiled:

"What a coincidence."

Belfast also smiled:

"Yes, what a coincidence. Miss Enterprise made such an arrangement at this time."

The two of them understood each other tacitly, and both knew that the company must have done this on purpose.

The Santiago was transferred here through enterprise coordination, and Belfast and Shangri-La were sent by her to help her temporarily.

In addition, the company and Cleveland have always been very caring towards him. This time, they handed over the authority to Belfast at this time, allowing Shangri-La to access the content of the port area's trade. This is already a great care.

But it would be inappropriate to ask enterprises to do more, after all, enterprises are the managers of the home port.

Revealing a little information is already a special consideration, and revealing more would be an illegal act that violates her identity.

"Let's not consider the use of authority for now. We can learn a little about the recent trade situation in Shangri-La. You should do this, and don't make things difficult for the company."

"Please rest assured, Master."

Yang Sikang looked at the ship in the dock, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly asked without thinking:

"Belfast, what do you think of the shipgirls of the Red Axis?"

"As long as they join us, there will be no question of faction. That's what I think."

Belfast replied without hesitation:

"Master, you are excellent and decisive most of the time. But when it comes to us, you always seem to have a lot of concerns."

Yang Sikang was stunned for a moment and sighed.

Belfast's words were simple, but they hit his pain point.

When dealing with external parties, no matter who the opponent is, Yang Sikang always manages to gain as much advantage as possible, and his attitude is always tough.

But when it comes to the ship girls in his fleet, it seems like he has endless things to worry about.

"There is no one in your fleet who doesn't believe in you, so please don't worry too much about us."

Belfast looked into Yang Sikang's eyes and said with a smile:

“You just have to do what you think is right.”

“Is that the right thing to do?”

Yang Sikang muttered something, smiled and shook his head slightly.

“But what I think is right may not be right for others. When positions differ, contradictions and conflicts will arise.”

Having said that, Yang Sikang closed his mouth and sighed softly.

Belfast knew what he was worried about and said:

"No matter what kind of contradictions and conflicts there are, we will always stand by your side. After all, I am Belfast, which belongs only to you."

Yang Sikang smiled helplessly, but then seemed to have made up his mind.

His eyes were still on Santiago in the dock, and after a moment they narrowed.

"Belfast, investigate the intelligence on the Sakura Empire and collect as much information as possible about that area."

He took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

"Let's solve the current problem first, and then... we'll go to Sakura City for some fun."

Chapter 203 Special Exercise Application

The two chatted a lot about the renovation in the dock, and then estimated the time and returned to the venue.

Zhenhai and others expressed their gratitude to Yang Sikang very politely, but they did not talk about anything further.

Donghuang didn't seem to intend to continue discussing what had been discussed before, but Yang Sikang knew that they would make a decision soon.

The impact of the incident in the Mirror Sea was somewhat dissipated by this memorial banquet, but there are still many people who have various speculations about the fighting power of the Siren.

To the outside world, it doesn’t matter how they discuss and imagine, but within the Hong Kong area, matters concerning this aspect have attracted much attention.

"So, is this a proposal you can accept?"

In the office, Qiye looked at Yang Sikang helplessly, with no sense of expectation in his tone at all.

Yang Sikang flipped through the documents in his hand and sighed:

"I don't mind if it's just a drill, but if the opponent is serious, I would welcome it."

As he spoke, he waved the documents in his hand.

"But isn't the number of opponents applying to exercise with us too large?"

He held three A4 sheets of paper in his hand, both sides of which were filled with the names of people who had applied to participate in exercises with his fleet.

Although there are many commanders in the port area, such mutual training exercises should generally be applied for when the strength of both sides is equal.

But the problem is that there is no commander in this home port whose fleet is as strong as Yang Sikang's.

So, these people took it for granted and came in groups of three or five to apply to exercise with him.

This has happened before, but it was rare after all.

Most people are unwilling to conduct exercises with Yang Sikang’s team. After all, not to mention the strength of the two sides, even the size of their fleets are not on the same level. What is there to fight about?

But he never expected that this time there would be three teams of such exaggerated size trying to compete with him.

"So, what exactly do these people want to do?"

The enterprise sighed and said helplessly:

"To put it simply, these people basically just want to know how strong your team is after defeating the tester in the Mirror Sea."

Yang Sikang frowned and threw three pieces of paper on the table.

"Are these people crazy?"

"It's not that my brain is broken, it's that I'm uneasy."

Enterprise shook his head:

“They did not personally participate in this Mirror Sea event, but Donghuang’s external image has always been mysterious, and most people do not think that Donghuang is weak.

But in this mirror sea, Donghuang suffered huge losses, and our team and the Royal Alliance team went to rescue them but almost failed to save anyone.

This situation has caused many people to feel extremely uneasy, and some are even worried that the Siren’s combat power will soon overwhelm us.”

"So, they thought practicing with me might make them feel more at ease?"

"After all, it was your team that repelled the tester."

"It's not like there are only testers in the mirror sea."

Yang Sikang shook his head:

"Besides, it's useless to show this to me. Even if these people form a team, destroyers and light cruisers account for more than 80% of their team. What can you let them use to compete with me?"

"That's the best way."

Enterprise smiled.

Yang Sikang looked at her doubtfully, and suddenly said:

"In fact, the Command Academy in NY Port has been put into use a few years ago, but due to various reasons, the academy has never received the attention it deserves. The only commanders willing to study there are a small number of commanders trained by the headquarters and a few home ports."

Yang Sikang's heart moved slightly, and he quickly understood what the company meant.

"So you gave me this list and wanted me to practice with them. Your purpose was not to give them some confidence, but..."

"We want you to defeat them."

The company smiled and said:

"You know the situation in our home port. Originally, there were only a few commanders with pure minds. Under the current circumstances, there are even more commanders with other ideas. If these people have wild thoughts all day long, it will be a big trouble. But if you let them off the hook during the exercise, it will not be fair to those serious commanders."

Yang Sikang smiled slightly and took over the conversation:

"So, you plan to select suitable talents based on their actual performance during the exercise and send them to the academy for special training, right?"

"Yes."

The company readily admitted it:

"For our home port, the biggest advantage right now is you. With you here, we can conduct a quick screening in this way."

"sure."

Yang Sikang nodded and agreed.

"Since there's no need to release water, there's nothing to worry about. The more people there are, the better."

Qiye breathed a sigh of relief. What she was most worried about was that Yang Sikang would not accept this proposal. After all, this kind of exercise was of no benefit to Yang Sikang and it was also easy to arouse dislike.

Fortunately, Yang Sikang agreed, so the related work they needed to do was greatly reduced.

"So the drill is set? How do you plan on time? Do you need to build it first?"

"No, let Belfast... No, let Shangri-La arrange the time."

"it is good."

Yang Sikang originally wanted to let Belfast arrange it, but then he thought that Belfast was also very busy now, and Shangri-La should be more adept at such things, and there would be no need to worry about any problems.

He was a little surprised at the planned exercise, but the fact that he didn't need to hold back gave him a lot of ideas.

Although he has no plans to build now, he has not relaxed at all in the modification of the ship's equipment.

Azur Lane compensated Yang Sikang for the consumption in sinking the tester in the mirror sea.

In short, he was given the Mind Cube and supplies as well as some 'extra' ship equipment.
