Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

It’s a pity that Yang Sikang was waiting for her in this regard.

"Master, if you continue like this, Miss Shentong will soon be unable to bear it."

Belfast said as he helped him sort out the documents. Yang Sikang smiled and said nonchalantly:

"It's better if we can't hold on. We haven't even entered their port area yet. What's the big deal?"

"The other party should be waiting for you to bring it up, but you seem to want them to take the initiative?"

"Yes."

Yang Sikang nodded and whispered:

"The one who asked the Avatar to receive us and arrange these things must be Akagi from the First Carrier. The most important thing in dealing with her is not the question of superiority or inferiority, but that we cannot do what she wants."

"The White Eagles know more about the First Carrier Battle than the Royal Navy. But it is said that Akagi is now the flagship of the Sakura Empire. I don't know if it is true or not."

"Sometimes there can't be just one flagship. The Sakura Empire is best at and loves to play those ambiguous word games. We'll know whether Akagi is the one who can take charge after we meet her."

"You're right."

Belfast thought for a moment and suddenly said:

"But what if they don't take the initiative?"

"That doesn't matter. Someone will come on their own initiative."

Belfast was a little confused, but Yang Sikang did not explain much on this matter.

He deliberately wanted to keep the matter a secret, so Belfast did not ask any further questions.

Over the past few days, apart from Shentong's daily visits, everything else seemed to have come to a complete standstill.

The current state of Yang Sikang and others is like a group of tourists visiting Sakura Empire. They are arranged to visit various places every day, but they have not touched the port areas at all.

That night, in a bedroom, Akagi was sorting out clothes while listening to Shentong's report.

"You mean he doesn't look anxious at all?"

"Yes."

Shentong frowned in distress and said helplessly:

"No matter how I probed, he showed no interest in visiting the port area. He generally accepted the itinerary I arranged for him, and he was completely happy when he was sightseeing."

"You came all the way from White Eagle just to visit us?"

"It's not just sightseeing. He also prepared a lot of gifts."

"Gift?"

"Yes, at first they were gifts for me and Xuefeng, and later there were gifts for Kawauchi and Nako. In the past few days, he always takes out gifts for no apparent reason, but each time he gives them to different people."

"What an interesting person. Where's the gift?"

"It was delivered to the corresponding people. They seemed very satisfied with the gifts he gave them."

Akagi stopped when he heard this, put down the clothes in his hand, looked over and asked:

"You mean the gifts he gave were to everyone's liking?"

"Yes."

Shentong sighed helplessly:

"I think he knows us much better than we think, and we should approach him as if he knows all of us."

"Know something about all of us?"

Akagi chuckled:

"Does that mean he knows Kaga and I? But come to think of it, he has a good relationship with Gray Phantom. Even if he's not from the main family, he should have provided him with information."

A red light was reflected in Akagi's eyes, and a faint smile appeared on her face. The magical power beside her narrowed his eyes slightly.

Akagi holds an extraordinary position in the Sakura Empire, but not everyone is willing to follow her arrangements completely.

However, it involves the long-awaited diplomatic activities of the Sakura Empire, and it is about dealing with Commander Yang Sikang, who is currently in the limelight in Azur Lane.

The importance of this matter is far beyond imagination, especially after the return of the sunken York City, the importance of that man has been pushed to the peak in one fell swoop.

Because of this, Akagi gained unprecedented power in this incident, and she was indeed a very suitable candidate.

But the more this happened, the more uneasy Shentong felt.

Akagi's style of doing things is almost completely different from hers. In Shentong's opinion, this action of leaving the other party directly in a hotel outside the port area and not mentioning the port area at all is a risky move.

There are far more people than just the First Air Fleet paying attention to that man now. A way that would be more in line with the interests of the Sakura Empire would be to try to get something valuable from that man, such as intelligence, information, or the possibility of cooperation in some area.

But with what Akagi has arranged now, it wouldn't be surprising if the other party suddenly said he wanted to leave.

Rather, normally speaking, there is no reason for most people to endure this.

Chapter 230 An unexpected surprise?

"Lord Akagi, should we do something? We have already visited all the sightseeing places around here."

Shentong still gave a subtle reminder, and Akagi finally came out of his thoughts and said thoughtfully:

"Have you been there? It's a little unpleasant, but now we can only invite him to the port area."

Akagi smiled briskly, and there was no sense of helplessness in his words.

However, even without seeing it, Shentong knew that Akagi must be in a very bad mood right now.

She has always disliked developments that were different from what she expected.

"By the way, what about that Yorktown in his fleet?"

Shentong thought for a moment and frowned.

The ship girls in Yang Sikang's fleet had no hiding at all, and Yorktown, as the person who received the most attention from Akagi, was naturally watched more closely.

However, York City has never taken any action in the past few days.

"They have been sightseeing with that person these days. Except for the White Eagle heavy cruiser Wichita and the Royal battlecruiser Counterattack, almost no one else has gone out to sea. We can't confirm the ship's outfit of the Yorktown, but judging from its image and temperament, it is indeed the Yorktown aircraft carrier."

"Is it so thorough? This is really unexpected. Thank you for your hard work, Shentong."

"Well, I'll take my leave, Master Akagi."

After leaving Akagi's bedroom, Shentong couldn't help but sigh.

Akagi's layout had already begun long before Yang Sikang came to Sakura Empire.

Those onlookers who showed up to greet them were not the original residents of the surrounding area. Akagi had arranged a month ago to have those who had hatred towards the White Eagle and the royal family gradually replace the original residents to live in that area. The hotel was also prepared in advance, and the equipment was installed everywhere.

However, these preparations were of no use at all. Those ordinary people seemed to be non-existent in the eyes of the commander, and the equipment installed in the hotel was directly taken over and controlled by the other party before even the first night was over.

But Yang Sikang didn't make any comment on these things, as if nothing had happened at all, so naturally they wouldn't take the initiative to bring up these things.

Then there was the competition with Kawauchi.

Although the competition between Wichita and Kawauchi was initiated by the other party, it was their arrangement to let Kawauchi fight against Yang Sikang himself.

I thought he would refuse, so Shentong prepared a lot of excuses and responses.

But he didn't expect that the other party not only agreed readily, but even won the fight.

This not only prevented him from falling into Akagi's trap, but also won him a lot of praise.

Especially Kawauchi, Shentong has not dared to let her contact that man in the past few days.

Not to mention the following few days, Akagi's intention was to let Yang Sikang take the initiative to mention visiting Hong Kong, so that they could take a certain initiative and make excuses.

People are more likely to make mistakes when they are anxious, and their true purpose and intention are more easily exposed.

But even this point, the man did not fall into it.

Judging from the battles in the past few days alone, they were completely defeated.

"If the opponent sees through my moves, what should I do next?"

Shentong is unwilling to choose direct confrontation in this situation, but Akagi is not necessarily the case.

The biggest problem now is that they have spent these days preparing measures but none of them have been used. They don't even have any clue about the other party's purpose.

The unknown means uncertain risks, but Akagi's order has been given and there is nothing she can do.

"I hope Akagi-sama has no intention of directly confronting that man."

Shentong could only pray in a low voice.

☆

On Yang Sikang's side, he finished his daily work at dusk. The leisurely life in the past few days made him feel a little unreal.

I thought that the trip to Sakura Empire would be a high-pressure environment from beginning to end, but I didn't expect that I would feel so relaxed now.

While sighing, Yang Sikang couldn't help laughing.

Shentong has a steady personality and tends to act cautiously.

Although Akagi was quite radical, he was not in a hurry to contact him directly given the composition of his own fleet.

Little did he know that this was exactly the situation he most wanted to see. If Akagi had invited him to the port area directly from the beginning and had contacted Yang Sikang directly and personally, things would have been difficult to handle.

"Commander Commander!"

The sound of a javelin came from the corridor. Yang Sikang turned around and saw that the door was opened.

Javelin ran in excitedly:

"Commander! We met a very interesting ship girl!"

"Very interesting ship girl?"

Yang Sikang didn't care much and asked casually with a smile:

"What's so interesting?"

"We were playing at the beach, and when we took out our lunch boxes to eat, a ship girl suddenly ran out. She didn't want to play with us, but she would play with us if we gave her meat patties! And, she was able to eat all of our meat patties by herself!"

"This is really incredible... huh?"

Yang Sikang nodded, and then suddenly felt something was wrong.

Even though the description of the javelin does not contain any imagery at all, why does he feel that it has such a strong visual effect?

"Wait a mininute……"

Yang Sikang took out his personal terminal, called up a few pictures, and then enlarged one of them and handed it to Javelin:

"Could it be that this is the ship girl you met?"

Javelin took one look and tilted his head.

"A bit similar, but also a little different?"

Yang Sikang thought for a while and said with a smile:

"That's probably not the case. But since she's a new friend you've met, you should give her a gift. What do you think is good?"

"How about sending barbecue?"

Javelin replied quickly:

"She loves meat so much. Commander, the honey-glazed barbecue you made is so delicious. She will definitely like it!"

"Haha, OK. There are some ready-made ones in the refrigerator. Take them. Remember to put them in the fresh-keeping box."

"learn!"

The javelin flew out again quickly, and Yang Sikang couldn't help shaking his head.

The fridge in this hotel is large and functional.

Putting the barbecue there was an unintentional act, but I didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise.

Although Javelin said something different, Yang Sikang felt that his guess was probably correct.

"Was it a deliberate arrangement or an accident? Haha, Akagi is really patient enough."

Javelin packed the barbecue, then came to report to Yang Sikang, and then hurried back with the gift.

It can be seen that this might have been her intention from the beginning.
