Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

"You go back over there first. I'll arrange for someone to watch over here. Wait until Shiranui and Kasumi wake up."

"Yes."

Akagi left, and Jinto looked deeply at the emergency room where Shiranui was, frowning slightly.

Shiranui's fainting must be related to Yang Sikang, and it can be confirmed that there are some strange issues in this.

But Chicheng's performance made Shentong feel even more strange. She seemed to suddenly no longer care about whether Yang Sikang was special or not.

He was clearly gritting his teeth at Yang Sikang a few days ago, but today he was uncharacteristically back to his previous relaxed state.

It was as if she suddenly found Yang Sikang's weakness and knew how to deal with him.

But...is this possible?

In the core area of ​​the Sakura Port District, Akagi came to the underground research institute alone, and after multiple layers of encryption verification, he entered the depths of the research institute.

The laboratories here conduct research and development with a very high degree of confidentiality, but at present this one has not conducted any substantive research.

But this place is not completely useless. After Akagi came to this room, he opened the waterway below, and soon a figure rose from there.

"Have you thought it through, Akagi?"

The person who appeared in front of Akagi was a tester of one of the high-level Sirens. Her ship equipment was all around her body. Although she greeted Akagi, she showed no sign of relaxing her armaments.

Akagi ignored the tester's defense and asked:

"You don't seem to know as much about that man as you say."

"what do you mean?"

"Just now, Shiranui of our Sakura Empire looked at him and then fainted. Haha, Shiranui also has a psychic physique, but like Kasumi, she fainted after just looking at him. You were the one who proposed this, so shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

"We have already said that this man is a special person. You didn't take our words seriously, but now you want to ask me for an explanation?"

"But you don't know that man as well as you say. How can I believe that you, who have suffered several losses at his hands, can solve the current problem?"

"Of course you can choose not to trust us, but do you have any other choice?"

The tester smiled slyly, looked at Akagi and asked:

"Are you going to give in to him?"

Chapter 255: Sakura Special Operations

Life in the Sakura Port area is unexpectedly easy. After coming here, all kinds of restrictions are almost non-existent for Yang Sikang.

Akagi seemed to have come to his senses all of a sudden. Not only did he not restrict his activities, but he also cooperated very well and allowed Shentong to take them around to visit and explain things.

Except for sensitive areas such as research areas and experimental areas, other general areas are basically completely open to Yang Sikang and his team.

Not only that, during this period, the ship girls on his side also participated in patrols and exercises very frequently, but they were very free.

Such a change in attitude was not only noticed by people like Yang Sikang and Belfast who were already quite perceptive, but even the javelin player who often played outside had noticed something was wrong.

However, Yang Sikang just told her not to worry, and Javelin didn't care too much about these things.

"Master, you should already know the identities of Javelin and her friends, right?"

Belfast suddenly asked that day. Yang Sikang nodded while tasting the freshly baked cookies:

"Do you know what happened? Why did you suddenly bring it up?"

"It seems that Javelin and the others are preparing to conduct exercises with those Sakura Empire shipgirls. I thought I should inform you of this matter first."

"Isn't this nice?"

Yang Sikang smiled:

"Drills don't necessarily have to be about winning or losing. Their relationship is more important than anything else. Let them prepare on their own. If they don't ask you for help with the javelin, don't worry about it."

"Oh. I see."

Yang Sikang looked at Belfast and said helplessly:

"Actually, you probably knew I would say that, right?"

"But you are the commander, Master."

Shaking his head, Yang Sikang said thoughtfully:

"But even Javelin and the others can see that Akagi's current attitude is not right. What do you think, Belfast?"

"Akagi should be preparing for some big move, but as of now, if she is defeated by you again, she will have no chance to attack again. No matter what she does, this will be her last move... Of course, if you, Master, are willing to end the confrontation with her early, that's another matter."

"It's not that easy to end the confrontation early. Besides, we have prepared so much for this trip to Sakura Empire. Wouldn't it be a pity if we can't get the best result?"

Belfast expected Yang Sikang to answer like this. The head maid smiled and replied:

"So, Master, are you ready to take the challenge?"

"If you want to make Akagi bow her head, you have to crush her plan head-on. The longer she prepares, the more exciting her expression will be when she is defeated. But this will also be more risky for you. Do you think I should do something?"

"We have already made all the preparations, Master."

Belfast looked at Yang Sikang and said firmly:

"We will complete all your plans, please rest assured."

☆

"So, it's decided?"

The tester asked with a smile on his face. Akagi once again reviewed the final result of their discussion, and after a slight hesitation, he nodded.

The tester left quickly, and at the same time Kaga came over.

As one of the direct participants in Akagi's plan, Kaga was naturally present throughout the process.

But she was not as willing as Akagi to communicate directly with the Siren, so she kept hiding nearby.

The testers also knew this, and Kaga's presence was a tacit agreement between both parties.

"Sister, are we really going to do this?"

"What's wrong, Kaga? Don't you want to see with your own eyes how powerful that guy is?"

Akagi said as he took out a document from his hand and handed it to Kaga, who read it with a look of surprise on his face.

"That carrier-based aircraft called Skyraider actually has such performance data?!"

"This is the data provided by Siren. It is very credible. But when she presented this data, she didn't seem very confident."

"Sister, are you saying that these data may not be accurate?"

"We can't fully trust what the Sirens offer, Kaga."

Akagi looked at Kaga, with a flash of red in his eyes:

"But Shigesakura can't be so reckless, and Ichigawa can't be defeated like this by the guests he invited. You understand my feelings, right? Kaga~"

"Oh, I understand, sister."

Looking at Akagi who was getting closer and closer, Kaga's expression remained calm, but his hand had already covered his mask.

"We will win."

☆

"Are you ready for the exercise?"

"The other side seemed to be in a hurry all of a sudden, and they quickly decided on the exercise. Haha, it seems like they are almost ready."

"fair enough."

Listening to Belfast's report, Yang Sikang smiled while lying on the recliner:

"At least if we practice before the war, it won't hurt our feelings too much."

"Master, do you think that the Sakura Empire will send a large number of ship girls to participate in the battle?"

"That should be the case. The command will then be handed over to you, Belfast."

"Please don't worry. Master, please be careful."

"hehe."

Yang Sikang smiled:

"I understand."

Javelin, Jarvis, Janus, Helena and Wichita, a total of five people, were scheduled to conduct exercises with the ship girls from the Sakura Empire on the afternoon of the next day.

The Sakura Empire also sent out the same combination of ship types, but Yang Sikang did not attend the exercise.

The final result was beyond some people's expectations. Although Yang Sikang had Helena's radar, it was several Sakura Empire ship girls who won.

However, because this exercise was more like a small competition between friends, not many people cared about the result.

And on the morning of the second day after the exercise, Shentong came to the door early in the morning after a long absence.

"Mr. Yang, are you interested in participating in a special operation?"

"What action?"

Yang Sikang asked with great interest, and Shentong replied with a smile:

"We have accidentally found a place that is suspected to be the base of the Siren, and are preparing to organize a fleet to explore it. I wonder if you are interested in participating in this operation?"

"Siren stronghold?"

Yang Sikang smiled, nodded and said:

"Okay, I'm also very interested in the Siren's base. Since there is an opportunity, of course I want to participate."

"Don't you need to think about it again?"

Shentong looked at Yang Sikang with some surprise and added:

"Or discuss it with your ship girls?"

"no need."

Yang Sikang shook his head and said:

"My answer is our decision. There is no need to discuss it further."

"Then I shall do as you say."

Yang Sikang nodded, and Shentong prepared to make contact.

"By the way, Shentong, how is the construction arranged?"

"As for the construction, it is currently scheduled to be done after this operation. But if you wish, I can arrange it for you. It should be possible for you to start the construction before departure."

Yang Sikang looked at the magical power in surprise and shook his head:

"No, as long as it's been arranged, there's no rush in just a day or two. But Shen Tong, you probably haven't forgotten our bet, right? If you look at it this way, you don't have much time."

Shentong hesitated for a moment, then replied with a smile:

"Don't bother with that. If I lose, I will keep my promise."

"Haha, that's good."

Chapter 256: The war begins, attack the Siren stronghold!

The Sakura Empire is very fast in organizing its fleet. Of course, this is also largely due to the fact that there are many ship girls stationed in this port area for a long time.

Although its productivity is not as exaggerated as that of the White Eagle, the number of mass-produced ships on the Sakura Empire is no small amount.

All kinds of types are available, and you can see the formation at a glance.

Obviously, the Sakura Empire has done sufficient research and preparation, both in terms of commanding ships and formations.

But what caught Yang Sikang's attention even more was the quality of the commanders participating in the battle in this port area.

Thanks to the unique training system of the Sakura Empire, the commanders who are able to participate in the battle have very high combat qualities, at least in terms of mobility, they are much stronger than those novice commanders of the White Eagle Home Port.

Although the price of such personal qualities is a huge disadvantage in numbers and extremely high training costs, it is at least advantageous in terms of combat.

"But once such people suffer a large loss in a short period of time, it will take a long time for the talent to recover."

There are naturally pros and cons. The stricter the screening, the stronger the talents obtained, but it will be more difficult to replace them after the loss.
