Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

And in the screening process, some special talents will inevitably be lost, and this part can only be made up by luck.

The number of commanders participating in this operation was not large, and what concerned Yang Sikang greatly was that the number of ship girls participating in the operation was much less than he expected.

The team led by Akagi has the main members, while these commanders and their ship girls are more like extras.

"Master, they look very well prepared."

Belfast said, Yang Sikang nodded and narrowed his eyes:

"The commanders participating in this operation don't look like rookies, but there are very few shipgirls accompanying them. Look at the command ship they are on. Ha, it seems to be equipped with special functions."

"Akagi and Kaga haven't shown up yet, but they are obviously the main force. Haha, I just don't know whether this main force is against the Sirens or against us."

"No matter which side we deal with, we will solve the problem."

Belfast seemed very confident. Yang Sikang nodded, turned and walked towards the bridge.

"I'll leave everything else to you."

"Yes, Master."

Yang Sikang came to the command room and retrieved several emails he had just received and looked through them carefully.

After confirming and modifying some things, the corners of his mouth curled up.

Through reconnaissance by the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carriers and the bluefin tuna, he can now basically confirm that the Sakura Empire's fleet did not participate in the 5th Carrier Battle.

And not only the 5th Carrier Fighter, but almost no other relatively well-known units participated in this operation, led by the 1st Carrier Fighter, and the 2nd Carrier Fighter also participated.

The other ship girls have yet to be explored, because the opponent did not directly deploy their ship equipment and appear on the sea, but adopted a similar approach as Yang Sikang did before: the ship girls stayed on the command ship and did not deploy their ship equipment until the war started.

This can greatly achieve the effect of concealing one's own combat effectiveness, and it is something only a ship girl can do.

The target location is quite far away from the main island of Sakura Island, and it will take about three hours to travel at an average speed of 15 knots.

But considering the Siren's defense, we will need to be on high alert after about two hours.

All members of Yang Sikang's fleet were still on the command ship, but they independently deployed their ship equipment on the deck and conducted reconnaissance activities using carrier-based aircraft.

Such an action is naturally envied by the people of Sakura Empire. Being able to use the Mind Cube to directly power the command ship is a luxury for most commanders.

The target location was getting closer and closer. Under Belfast's orderly command, Yang Sikang's fleet quickly took action.

The submarine bluefish was the first to go into the water, followed by the others.

But Belfast did not launch directly this time, but remained on the command ship.

"Belfast was actually left on the command ship. It seems that man was also on guard, Kaga."

Akagi smiled and looked in the direction of Yang Sikang's command ship. Although they were far apart, she could still clearly see Yang Sikang's actions through the arrangements she had made in advance on the mass-produced model.

Kaga looked at his own ships and the Siren ships that had already started fighting at a distance in front of him, and asked seriously:

"Sister, will the Siren really cooperate with us?"

"Haha, we'll know in a moment. If they don't cooperate, it would be a good idea to use the man's power to test the Siren's depth."

Kaga nodded, and then the two sisters took out their shikigami in tacit understanding.

No matter what, it would be too obvious if the two of them didn't take action at all. Even though they knew that Yang Sikang might be on guard, they still had to put on enough drama.

The carrier-based aircraft took off, and on the sea behind the two of them, another pair of sisters with long rabbit ears and wearing blue and black clothes looked up.

"The carrier-based aircraft of the First Carrier have already set off. Feilong, have you finished warming up?"

"I'm ready, sister!"

"Then let's do it too!"

"Carrier-based aircraft, take off!"

The carrier-based aircraft of the Second Carrier Fighter quickly caught up and formed a connection with the carrier-based aircraft of the First Carrier Fighter.

At the same time, several petite ship girls jumped off the deck of the command ship, unfolded their ship uniforms and landed on the sea, then flew towards the Siren's ship.

After all, the fleet of Sakura Empire is the main force. In comparison, although Yang Sikang has many aircraft carrier ship girls, the effect is still far less obvious than that of Sakura Empire.

With the participation of the First and Second Carriers, the battle against the Siren stronghold officially began.

However, at this time, in the bridge command room of the USS San Diego, Belfast was looking at various data and listening to the intelligence reports from Essex and others.

"As expected, the First Carrier Group didn't really do anything, but the Second Carrier Group seemed to be ready to go all out. Could it be that the Second Carrier Group didn't know the specific arrangements of the First Carrier Group?"

Belfast thought calmly, his hands tapping on the keyboard nimbly.

By searching for the image features of the ship girls, Belfast found the basic information of the ship girls that had appeared in the Sakura Empire fleet so far from the database prepared by Yang Sikang with extremely high efficiency.

"Sure enough, the Avatar's Ershuizhan isn't here either."

Belfast smiled, and then saw the message from another ship girl.

"Blonde hair, is this... a King Kong of the King Kong level? Haha, it has a strong royal style."

Belfast thought thoughtfully that this King Kong-class lead ship with a strong royal style had attracted her attention.

But the head maid did not forget her current duties and took over Yang Sikang's task and continued to give commands.

Although the commanders of the Sakura Empire were highly educated and those who participated in the battle were not without practical experience, the gap between the two sides was immediately revealed once they were compared with Yang Sikang's side.

Thanks to the better fleet lineup, Yang Sikang's fleet, under the command of Belfast, was able to fully utilize the advantages of the aircraft carriers on the battlefield with its own members, while the presence of the two battlecruisers, Reputation and Counterattack, forced the Siren ships that tried to break through the defense line to sink into the water.

This team has been repeatedly polished by the Royal Fleet. Even Akagi and Kaga have to repeatedly improve their evaluation of this fleet while waiting and watching.

Therefore, before this, Yang Sikang's fleet had not yet fought in a complete structure on the Sakura Empire's side, and they did not expect that this side could exert such combat power.

"As expected of the Essex class, the ship equipment made by that man is also very powerful."

"But they have already fallen into our trap."

"Haha, that's right, Kaga. Well, it's time to move the plot of this drama forward."

The battle line continued to advance, and the area where the Siren's stronghold was located gradually appeared before everyone's eyes.

Although it was not clear, the buildings of different styles and the obvious docks proved that their target was roughly correct.

But the closer they get to the Sirens' territory, the more intense the battle becomes, and the Sirens' resistance becomes more fierce.

However, at this moment, Belfast suddenly ordered:

"Slow down the offense and reduce the defense's range."

Chapter 257 The Man Who Surpassed Everyone's Expectations

"Sister, that man has changed his formation."

Kaga reported the information to Akagi and then continued his battle.

Akagi kept smiling and was not surprised by the change in formation over there.

"I heard that he did that before. Is he trying to use the same tactics or is he trying to deceive the enemy?"

Akagi chuckled and changed the subject:

"But this time his plan will fail."

The battle continued in an orderly manner. New mass-produced units continued to appear inside the Siren's stronghold, maintaining the situation with the advantage of numbers.

However, the offensiveness of the Sakura Empire's fleet was not weak at all, especially the Second Carrier which performed exceptionally well in the battle.

In comparison, the First Carrier was slacking off quite obviously, but no one noticed this situation.

For the commanders of the Sakura Empire, the opportunity to fight with the First and Second Carriers is not always available. The commanders who can participate in this battle all hope to show their abilities in front of these high-ranking officials. How can they have time to pay attention to other things?

Of course, the more important reason is that we are now in an advantageous position, so naturally not many people care whether someone has not tried their best.

"The Siren's attack on us has intensified. How should we deal with it?"

London's calm voice sounded on the communication channel, followed by Belfast's response:

"Knock them back, but don't pursue them further."

"Ok."

The three heavy cruisers suddenly burst out with powerful firepower, and destroyed the ships that were approaching step by step in a blink of an eye. However, they were very careful about the scale of their actions. Except for a few Wichita ships that used too much force, the other destroyed Siren ships were still floating on the sea for the time being, blocking the subsequent Siren ships.

Having done this many times, they naturally have their own experience. This way of handling can allow them to get the longest rest time at the lowest cost, and it can also cover up the reputation and counterattack that they have not fired for a while.

In the port area of ​​​​Chongsakura, in a reception room that was originally not in use, a ship girl was sitting there.

A Japanese sword was placed across her knees, her tail was quietly lying behind her, a faint scent of incense wafted through the room, and two cups of hot tea were placed on the table.

Long silver-white hair, blue eyes, a black Japanese sword on his knee, and distinctive fox features that are completely different from Akagi Kaga.

This person was Jiang Feng, who had come here once before but had not communicated with Yang Sikang.

Although in theory Jiang Feng belongs to Ershuizhan, which is under the jurisdiction of Shentong, in reality Jiang Feng's identity is the guard of the Son of God.

Generally speaking, she would not leave the sacred tree, let alone leave the Son of God.

Therefore, as long as Jiang Feng takes the initiative to leave and appears in other places in the port area, it means that the Son of God has something to convey to her in person, or there are important matters that must be handled by her.

It's the same today.

After Akagi and others set off, Jiang Feng received an order from the Son of God. After briefly understanding her mission, she came to this place, but to be honest... she didn't quite understand the content of this mission.

Even though I know that is not the intention of the Son of God alone, I still don’t understand what I don’t understand.

But that didn't affect her mission.

As time passed, Jiang Feng just frowned when the door of the room was suddenly opened quietly.

"Sorry, I had a problem with my diving suit on the way, so I'm a little late. But I shouldn't be late, right?"

Jiang Feng raised his head and looked at the man standing in front of him, and his frown gradually relaxed.

"I'm not late, but arriving on time is not something to be proud of... Your Excellency Yang Sikang."

Yang Sikang sat down opposite Jiang Feng and smiled slightly:

"I've learned my lesson. Next time I'll come earlier."

Yang Sikang, who should have been on the battlefield and in charge of command, appeared in the reception room in the port area at this moment!

"Before we get down to business, I have two questions. Could you help me solve them?"

Perhaps because the Son of God and others valued Yang Sikang, Jiang Feng was very polite and used honorifics to address Yang Sikang.

"Of course, we have plenty of time to talk, so please feel free to ask."

Jiang Feng's ears trembled slightly, and he asked seriously:

"The commander who should have been on the battlefield is here alone at this moment. Aren't you worried at all?"

"What do I need to worry about?"

Yang Sikang asked back with a smile, Jiang Feng's eyes changed slightly, and then said:

"You and your ship girl. Although I am here on orders, I am also a member of the Sakura Empire. I am not a friendly force to you. At this distance, no matter how talented you are, how can you stop the sharp blade in my hand?"

"And your ship girls, they are facing the Siren's base. You should know that there are high-level Sirens there. And the First Carrier promoted this operation, don't you understand the purpose?"

"So what?"

Yang Sikang was still smiling, and his attitude seemed very calm.

"Let's talk about the Sirens first. First of all, I believe in the abilities of my ship girls. I'm not the one responsible for the battle, but they can still do a good job even if I'm not there. As for strategy and command, I have no shortage of such talents. As for Akagi's purpose... hehe."

Yang Sikang laughed, looked into Jiang Feng's eyes and said:

"Wouldn't it be more interesting to have her plans foiled under such circumstances?"

Jiang Feng's expression changed slightly, and Yang Sikang continued:

"As for me, I don't have the ability to fight the ship girl head-on with my bare hands, but the knife is in front of you now, why don't you try to swing it?"

Yang Sikang looked at Jiang Feng with a smile, and then added:

"Kill me, Jiang Feng, how could you not see the consequences?"

Jiang Feng frowned slightly. There was no politeness in Yang Sikang's words. Although he was very graceful in his speech and behavior, his words were extremely sharp.

But what made her even more unhappy was the attitude that Yang Sikang showed, as if he knew her very well.

"You seem to think you know me well."

"Understanding comes from contact. From this point of view, we are just meeting for the first time. I don't know you."
