Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

"Belfast and Taihou stay here, the others will take Minneapolis back. The Sakura Empire's repair ship Akashi is on the way, let her treat Minneapolis."

After Yang Sikang's order was given, the others on his side did not ask any further questions.

The atmosphere between the two sides in the current situation is delicate, and everyone can see it.

And they had no objection to the fact that the situation in Minneapolis was worrying.

Chapter 272 You Lost, Akagi

Tai Feng greeted the others with a subtle and unusually bright smile on her face and told them to return home with peace of mind, but at this moment, a small figure suddenly appeared on the deck and carefully touched the back of the unsuspecting Tai Feng.

"Woooaha! Hello, Taiho!"

"Alas!!!!"

Dafeng jumped up suddenly, the smile on her face became distorted, and she turned her head in horror to look over.

"Big, big, big bluefin tuna! You, you, you, why are you here?!"

"Hey~ I'm also the commander's ship girl, of course I'm here! Hey, Taihou, are you scared?"

"Um... Big, big bluefin tuna, the commander asked you to return to the port area!"

"I know, I know, so are you scared, Dafeng?"

Dafeng bit her lip and dodged the bluefin tuna. Yang Sikang came over and put his hand on the bluefin tuna's head:

"I'll leave the underwater work to you on the way back, Albacore. Keep in touch with Helena."

"Okay Commander!"

Although the bluefin tuna is quite mischievous, it did not cause trouble at this moment.

Minneapolis was taken to the hull of Wichita under the care of Janus and Jarvis, and then they set out on their return journey.

Since they all had to return to the port area, it was natural for them to follow the Sakura Empire's fleet.

Although the Sakura Empire fleet probably wouldn't dare to do anything now, Yang Sikang still asked Shangri-La to pay more attention.

The two people from the First Carrier did not make any moves until the fleet was out of their sight. Then the two people wrapped in black mist who were blocking their way made way.

The several ship girls wrapped in black fog did not get too close to Yang Sikang's team or other people, while the two people from the First Carrier simply took off their ship equipment and came to Yang Sikang's command ship.

On the deck, Yang Sikang sat on a chair, waiting for the two of them to arrive.

Behind him stood Belfast on one side and Dafeng on the other.

Although Akagi Kaga knew more about Taiho's information and had also paid attention to the research on Taiho's awakening, Taiho had never appeared before, and this was the first time they saw Taiho with their own eyes.

"You are really leisurely. It seems that those four ship girls have given you a lot of confidence, Commander Yang Sikang."

"Akagi, you should know clearly whether my confidence comes from them. Things have come to this point, and now is your last chance."

Yang Sikang looked over and his almost iconic smile returned to his face.

"Belfast's ammunition is almost exhausted. Taiho was just built when I came out, and the ship equipment is not yet ready. It may be a bit reckless to attack now, but if you miss this opportunity, you will really lose completely."

"That may not be the case."

Yang Sikang shook his head and chuckled:

"Hai Ruo should have been sent back to where it was supposed to be. You deliberately placed Hai Ruo in that shrine. Not only did it not have any effect on me, but it also gave me a perfect reason to take action. A quarter of the shrine has disappeared. After we return, none of the remaining ones will be able to escape."

Akagi's face darkened.

"Do you think you can do whatever you want in Sakura Empire?"

"It's not that I think I can, but I can really do it now. You've lost too many times, Akagi."

Chicheng looked at the figures in the distance, but Yang Sikang shook his head:

"It has nothing to do with them. Their actions were beyond my plan. If Minneapolis hadn't been hit hard, they would have stayed away from taking action. But they are different from the two people you attacked. They came for you."

Akagi and Kaga both frowned. The fighting power of those two made them feel very bad. The two of them, together with the Second Carrier Group, plus the other people in the fleet, could only fight those two to a draw.

But what Akagi was more concerned about was the clothes of the two people. Although the black mist around the opponent's body was not affected at all during the battle, the shadow of the Sakura Empire could still be seen more or less.

"So, Commander Yang Sikang, where does your confidence come from? Can you tell me?"

Yang Sikang smiled slightly:

"You'll know when we get back to the harbor. Now you should consider what to do next, Akagi. Should you try one last fight or admit defeat?"

"Haha, if I do that, the guy next to you looks like he'll fight me to the death."

Akagi turned his head and looked at Taiho:

"You are Dafeng, right?"

"Yes, I am Taiho. Hello, two seniors from the First Carrier Fleet~"

Daiho greeted Akagi Kaga with a smile, but she made no effort to conceal the tension in her words.

Akagi's smile also became brighter, but she still cared more about Yang Sikang's words than Dafeng's attitude.

"Commander Yang Sikang, have you forgotten that we planned this operation? Let alone the fact that you have aborted the operation and caused us to waste ammunition and time, just in terms of rhetoric, do you think our words are more convincing or your words are more convincing?"

"You don't need to think about this, Akagi. I think Musashi or Nagato will finish what you need to say."

Akagi's eyes turned cold:

“I am the manager now.”

"But it's not the case in an emergency. There's danger outside and you're not in the port area, so naturally someone else should come forward."

Akagi's ears twitched and his tail twitched slightly restlessly.

Kaga, who was standing next to her, felt the changes in her mood most clearly, but Akagi remained silent, as if he wanted to see through Yang Sikang's lies.

Yang Sikang didn't say much. After a few minutes of silence, Chicheng suddenly received a call.

Mingshi has already arrived at Yang Sikang's fleet.

From the port to here, considering the speed of the fleet's return, this time is a bit too early.

The only explanation is that Akashi was sent here urgently, and the speed was much faster than the normal voyage.

This is not a big deal, but it is enough to show how much importance people in the port area attach to Yang Sikang's request.

Chicheng is not stupid. From this aspect, she immediately realized that what Yang Sikang said was probably true.

In addition to the four unidentified ship girls, he actually has other backup plans?

But she couldn't understand what could make Musashi and the others so obedient to Yang Sikang's request?

"Don't think about it. You'll know the answer when you return to Hong Kong. Now it's time to make the choice, Akagi."

Yang Sikang looked at Chicheng, crossed his fingers, leaned back in his chair, and stared at Chicheng.

"One last fight, do you want to give it a try?"

Akagi frowned and was silent for a few minutes before he let out a long sigh and let his tail drop.

"You win, Mr. Yang Sikang."

Chapter 273: First Air Force Fighter after the Exchange

Even Belfast couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Akagi admit defeat in person.

One of Yang Sikang's primary goals for this trip to Sakura Empire was to resolve the First Air Fleet.

Without this goal as a premise, many things would be out of the question.

After arriving in Sakura Empire and gradually understanding the situation there, Belfast finally understood why this was a prerequisite.

The First Air Fleet has too much power over the Sakura Empire.

And as one of the main combat members of the Sakura Empire, the strength of the two members of the First Carrier cannot be ignored.

But because of this, Belfast was a little confused for a while because Yang Sikang had been waiting patiently for Akagi to make the first move and then he would solve the problem himself.

But in the end, it's better this way.

For example, now, she and Yang Sikang both knew that even if Chicheng admitted defeat in person, it did not mean that she had completely given up, but at this moment both of them would still breathe a sigh of relief.

"Then Mr. Yang Sikang, is your purpose to make me admit defeat?"

"You can say that I really want to hear you admit defeat in person. After all, it's not often that you get the chance to make the proud Akagi admit defeat."

"Are you satisfied now?"

"Not really. If possible, I hope you two can go and talk to the two people over there alone."

Akagi and Kaga looked in the direction Yang Sikang pointed. He was pointing at the two ship girls who had fought with them before.

The two men stood quietly in the distance, keeping a distance from this side.

But even at this distance, Chicheng could still see that their attention was almost all on Yang Sikang next to them.

"They seem to care about you more than us, right?"

"But they don't want to communicate with me now, and I can't do anything about it. Some things can't be decided by thoughts, and there are many times when you have to do something because of the situation."

Yang Sikang smiled helplessly, then crossed his fingers and rubbed them slightly, and said nonchalantly:

"And they came here for you two, but I guess you haven't tried to communicate with them directly before?"

"No, but it's not like we didn't try to communicate with them at all, but all our attempts were ignored."

Chicheng looked at Yang Sikang, as if trying to see something from his expression.

But Yang Sikang just shook his head:

"They want to communicate with you and only you."

Akagi did not respond to this, but suddenly asked:

"Then before I communicate with them, can I know who you are?"

"Hasn't my information already been placed on your desk?"

"Yes, but obviously that's not complete."

Akagi frowned and continued:

"These shipgirls who are wrapped in black fog and whose true bodies cannot be seen clearly have never appeared in the information we have. Their strength is too strong, and their ship equipment is completely different from what we have.

But I can see a strong smell of Sakura Empire in them, which makes me unable to ignore it. "

Yang Sikang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head:

"You should go talk to them first, and then..."

He paused, turned his head to look at Dafeng behind him, and suddenly smiled.

"Then, I will give you an answer."

“I hope you can keep your promise.”

Akagi turned around, Kaga looked at Yang Sikang deeply, then turned around and followed Akagi's footsteps.

The two of them landed on the sea and sailed towards the two people over there.

Yang Sikang stood at the edge of the deck, watching them gradually approach the two men, and then being stopped by the other party.

After secretly sighing in his heart and thinking that it was just as he expected, Yang Sikang no longer paid his attention to that aspect.

Beside him, Dafeng bit her lip, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Master, do you really want to discuss this with the people of Sakura?"

Belfast asked quietly.

Yang Sikang turned his head and looked over. Belfast bowed slightly and said:

"Although it may be a bit presumptuous, I still think that these two people from the Sakura Empire are not trustworthy. They are not our companions, and there is no way they can join our team in person. It may be dangerous to share your secret with them."

"Do you think so too?"

Yang Sikang smiled. He was well aware that Akagi and Kaga would not completely accept their fate just because they admitted defeat.

Sharing his secrets with these two people was risky, and he knew that.

Normally, the right choice would be to keep it secret from these two people, but things are always a little different.
