Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

Chapter 240 Ready to make a move

"It's really a good trick."

In the bedroom, Akagi looked at the report in his hand with gritted teeth.

The edges of the paper had already been wrinkled, and there were many traces of overlapping folds on the surface of the paper.

It is clear that this report has been crumpled, unfolded, and crumpled again more than once.

The fact that it has been preserved intact until now is, on the one hand, because the person who crumpled it had some sense of propriety, and on the other hand, because the quality of the paper itself is very good.

Chicheng knew that there would be problems if Yang Sikang's team was involved in patrols and battles, so it was something that didn't even need to be thought about.

The man's fleet was enough to repel the high-level Sirens. No matter how he claimed that he was taking shortcuts, this was an indisputable fact.

How can the ordinary commanders here compare to a team that can be repelled by high-level sirens?

With Yang Sikang's notoriety and his solid fleet strength as a foundation, people will pay more and more attention to him.

And as long as his fleet performs well enough, the wind direction will change drastically in a very short time.

Chicheng knew this very well, so she always rejected Yang Sikang's idea.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Feng actually came.

The Son of God actually gave the order personally, allowing Yang Sikang’s fleet to participate in daily patrols and combat.

What’s even more troubling is that it’s not just the Son of God who has this intention.

Akagi had no choice but to compromise, and the current situation proves that her idea was completely correct.

Because of Yang Sikang's own notoriety and the combat effectiveness of his fleet.

In addition, the images of Yang Sikang's ship girls are very good. Due to the interweaving of many factors, the public's evaluation of Yang Sikang is now completely different.

Obviously that man himself did nothing, but now his image has become a positive image.

From a heinous evil party, he turned into a vaguely heroic person.

This almost made Akagi bite his teeth off.

And because Yang Sikang's fleet's combat performance was extraordinary, even Kaga could hardly suppress his desire to fight.

It is because she is still suppressing him that Kaga did not come to knock on the door.

It’s not that Akagi doesn’t want Kaga to take action, but... even she has suffered losses at the hands of that man one after another, and Kaga will only be more unlucky if he goes.

And what Akagi is most worried about is that Kaga will change his mind.

She knew Kaga's true nature very well.

But it was obvious that the man's men had the ability to defeat Kaga.

Suddenly, there was a shadow outside the door. Akagi took a deep breath, put the papers aside casually, then straightened his sitting posture and said:

"come in."

The person who came in was a young-looking girl with long snow-white hair and light blue eyes. The most eye-catching thing was that there was a blue thing that looked like a hundred-blessing knot in the place of her right eye.

There seemed to be something else beside her.

The girl seemed a little nervous and kept her head down after entering the room.

She came forward very respectfully and saluted Akagi, and then timidly raised her voice and said:

"Akagi-sama. I, I am..."

"No need to be polite, Kasumi."

Akagi's voice was somewhat gentle as he spoke slowly:

"My purpose for calling you here is very simple. You should have heard about the commander that everyone has been talking about a lot recently, right?"

"Yes, it is."

"I want you to go over and look at that person and tell me what you think. Can you do that?"

"Yes, I can do it."

"Okay, Avatar will come find you later, just go with her."

"Yes."

With Akagi's permission, Kasumi retreated as cautiously as she had when she came in.

After seeing the girl off, Akagi's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Kaga, what do you think?"

Kaga walked out from behind the screen and sat down calmly next to Akagi.

"It's worth trying."

There was a fighting spirit in Kaga's eyes, but she remained restrained in front of Akagi.

"His fleet is very strong, and he seems to know a lot of things. But Xia may not be able to see anything. What do you want to do, sister?"

"Do some small verification."

Akagi smiled slightly:

"The invisible friend that Xia mentioned seems to be afraid of the will-o'-the-wisp around Shiranui. So, if she can really see something, will that friend be afraid of that man? Hehe~"

"But what does this mean to us?"

Kaga was a little confused, but Akagi shook his head:

"Of course this is meaningless, but... I want to confirm something."

Kaga frowned, and Akagi interrupted her thoughts with a laugh, and then said:

"Get ready, Kaga. We'll have our chance to fight him soon, very soon."

Kaga's eyes lit up for a moment, then quickly retracted.

"Oh, I'll be ready anytime."

☆

Inside the hotel.

Yang Sikang was lying on the roof, looking at the buildings in the distance by the slope of the roof.

That was the direction of the port area of ​​Sakura Empire, but so far he had not properly entered it.

Belfast and others had gone in for patrols, but their range of activities was restricted.

But in recent days, Yang Sikang asked them to take the initiative to reduce the time they participated in patrols and combat.

"It's about time I couldn't bear it any longer. Why haven't you taken action for so long?"

Yang Sikang muttered and sighed, looking quite distressed.

"Master, are you worried about what's happening in Akagi?"

"That's it."

Yang Sikang sighed:

"I'm wondering how she can endure it until now and hasn't taken action yet. Haven't I provoked you enough?"

Belfast sighed helplessly:

"Master, if you continue to provoke me, I'm afraid it won't just be Akagi who will suffer."

"I think so, but Akagi hasn't made any move yet, which is a bit boring. Avatar is also very reluctant to play games with me now. She also refuses to change people no matter what."

"Your intention to force her to change someone to get more information is too obvious."

"It was originally a conspiracy."

Yang Sikang smiled and didn't care about Belfast's complaints.

Shentong knew that his intention was to find someone else to extort information from, and he also knew that Shentong knew about it.

But he still did it, which was clearly telling the Avatar:

I just want to force you to change.

In this way, whether Shentong is willing or not, she will not replace her with anyone else.

The one who suffered the most in the contact with Yang Sikang is Chicheng, followed by Shentong.

How could she feel comfortable replacing someone else?

So even though she later realized that Yang Sikang's real purpose was to prevent her from replacing him with someone else, she had no choice but to accept her fate.

After all, if she really dared to change people, Yang Sikang would really dare to ask questions.

Not afraid at all.

Yang Sikang was about to say something more when Belfast suddenly stopped.

Then, Belfast looked at Yang Sikang with a smile:

"Master, the action you expected from Akagi and the others seems to have come."

Upon hearing this, Yang Sikang stood up and said with a smile:

"Well, it's finally here!"

Chapter 241 Akagi's Trap

Yang Sikang has been waiting, waiting for an opportunity.

For someone with Akagi's personality, the first thing to do before talking about serious matters is to let Akagi face himself.

Yang Sikang was very sure of this, so the most important thing for him now was how to make Chicheng admit defeat and bow his head.

This is not an easy thing to do, because although Akagi has an extreme personality, he is not someone who will give up easily.

Whether it's Akagi or Kaga, the resilience of these two ship girls from the Sakura Empire First Fleet Battle should never be underestimated.

Of course, there is a way to solve all of the above problems, but he has reasons why he can't do that.

Therefore, there was only one thing he had to do - to defeat all the means and trump cards that Akagi could use.

Then, defeat them themselves.

On the sea, Yang Sikang stood in the command room of the USS San Diego, looking at the radar image on the screen in a daze.

Through his understanding of the game's plot and combining it with the actual situation, he judged that the current Red Axis camp should have more or less had dealings with the Sirens.

What he was waiting for was none other than the Siren.

He was very sure that Akagi should have the ability to find Siren.

In fact, this is exactly the case.

The story was quite old-fashioned: the patrol team was defeated by the Sirens and then reported that a large number of humanoid Sirens appeared near the coast and that a mirror-like sea was suspected to have formed.

Yang Sikang brought his fleet to the scene of the incident, but the situation here was quite different from what he expected.

The Sirens did appear, and there were indeed many humanoid individuals among them.

Although no testers or purifiers were seen, the quantity and quality of the humanoid sirens were already quite strong.

But this strength is only strong compared to ordinary Siren teams. In front of Yang Sikang’s current fleet, this scale is still not enough.

The advantages in the quantity and quality of aircraft carriers combined with tactics and coordination bring about more than just a 1+1=2 improvement.

Without the command of a high-level Sirens, a battle of this intensity would not be able to shake Yang Sikang's fleet.

"Akagi should be very clear about this."

Yang Sikang muttered softly.

"Master, Helena has detected more Siren ship responses."

The report from Belfast brought Yang Sikang back to his senses and he frowned slightly.

"Shangri-La, arrange for reconnaissance aircraft to expand the scope of investigation and try to find the source of the Siren ships."

"Yes."

When the battle intensity is not high, Yang Sikang's fleet now focuses on Independence, Essex and Dreadnought, while Shangri-La is mainly responsible for reconnaissance of battlefield conditions and providing basic battlefield information.
