Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

Even the fan that he usually held in his hand was just held casually, his exhaustion was too obvious.

Yang Sikang raised his eyebrows, and Hermione beside him quietly stepped aside.

Shentong sat down on another chair next to Yang Sikang. Just after she took a few breaths, Hermione brought a cup of hot black tea and placed it in front of her, with a small plate of fragrant biscuits next to it.

"Please use it, Miss Shentong."

"Thank you... Phew... The royal tea is really great."

After drinking a few sips of black tea and eating two biscuits, Shentong finally looked less miserable.

Her sudden visit and her almost exhausted state aroused people's curiosity, but York City just sat aside and did not ask any questions.

After a few minutes, Shentong saw that Yang Sikang had no intention of asking her, so he took the initiative to speak:

"Mr. Yang Sikang, we have received a batch of gifts for you. Do you have time to sign for them?"

"Gift?"

Yang Sikang smiled:

"I just had Yorktown blow up that shrine, and then killed dozens of people with fighter jets. Now someone is sending me a gift? Is it so strange?"

"Although it may be unpleasant for you to make such a light statement, this gift was not prepared by us."

Yang Sikang was even more surprised this time. He turned to look at the two maids behind him, but Hermione and Newcastle just shook their heads. It was obvious that neither of them knew what was going on.

This instead aroused Yang Sikang's curiosity, and he stood up.

"So, where is the gift?"

"It's at the entrance of the mansion, but there are a lot of things, so please bring the ship girl with you."

Yang Sikang nodded and walked straight towards the gate.

Newcastle followed immediately, while Hermione stayed behind. London and Wichita came over as replacements.

When he arrived at the door of the mansion, Yang Sikang noticed the boxes with unique packaging.

He was very familiar with these things. They were standard containers for transporting ship equipment, but the pattern printed on them surprised him a little. It was a symbol of iron and blood.

The first thing that caught my eye was a few familiar Sakura Empire staff members, but no ship girls.

They obviously used vehicles to drag these ship equipment here. As for why there were no ship girls to move them, we have to ask the carrier-based aircraft that just flew back here.

Next to these people, there was a female soldier standing next to the goods.

Her expression was very serious, her clothes were neat, and one could tell at a glance that she belonged to the Iron Blood.

After seeing Yang Sikang, she looked at him very quickly, confirmed his identity, and then saluted him.

"Prince Deogen sends his regards, sir!"

Chapter 279 Expensive Gift

Because of the interference from the Sakura Empire, Yang Sikang did not have much communication with this iron-blooded female soldier.

The Iron-Blooded men suddenly appeared in this port area of ​​​​Empire State, and sent him a batch of ship equipment, which was something he had never expected.

But when the female soldier mentioned Prince Eugen's name, Yang Sikang no longer thought it was strange.

When it comes to being eccentric, Prince Eugen is definitely at the top of the list. Not to mention Akagi who is already in trouble, even within Iron-Blooded there are few people who can withstand this ship girl with a full sense of evil.

It is understandable that Akagi does not want Prince Eugen to meet him. If it were him, he would never give a chance to someone who might cause trouble for him at any time when he has not yet dealt with the troubles at hand.

"Iron Blood actually sent us ship equipment. Commander, do you still have any dealings with Iron Blood in private?"

Yorktown asked curiously, while Javelin and Wichita were already discussing what kind of ship equipment Iron Blood would send.

"I do have some business dealings with them. Given Iron Blood's style, it wouldn't be surprising if they found out that I was behind this. But I don't have any friendship with them now."

As Yang Sikang spoke, he opened a box, and inside was a carrier-based aircraft.

"That's very generous of you."

Yang Sikang smiled and had some ideas in mind.

This carrier-based aircraft is the Ju87 D-4 torpedo plane, which is one of the most useful torpedo planes even in the game.

Because the actual awakening process of Yorktown is to analyze and develop the ship equipment first, and then awaken the main body, so Yang Sikang can produce ship equipment such as Skyraider and Hellcat at a very fast speed after Yorktown is successfully awakened.

However, he has always been lacking in torpedo planes, or to be more precise, there is a big gap between the quality of the fighters and bombers he currently owns.

Although torpedo planes currently have little room to play in battles with high-level Sirens, they can be very effective against other Siren targets, especially mass-produced humanoid Siren targets.

The Ju87 D-4 is of gold quality even in the game, and it is impossible for every commander in Iron Blood to have it, but now Iron Blood actually sent it directly to him.

Yang Sikang did not continue to open the other containers, but turned around and asked Newcastle to arrange for these things to be stored first.

Starting with this carrier-based aircraft is a bit too exciting.

As for the Ju87 that had already been taken out, Yang Sikang did not hand it over to Yorktown.

There are many reasons. On the one hand, Yorktown does not have to carry carrier-based aircraft. She can carry a large number of Hellcats and cooperate with Skyraiders to fight.

On the other hand, this Ju87 was sent by Iron Blood after all. Although Yang Sikang has always been optimistic about Iron Blood, he still has to be on guard against them.

Especially since this thing was sent by Prince Eugen, he had never come into contact with Prince Eugen in this world, so he was not sure what the other party's attitude would be.

If Prince Eugen tampered with these ship equipment out of spite, it would be a serious problem that could threaten his life.

This was also the main reason why he did not continue to unpack the box. This gift was already too expensive as a first greeting gift.

After receiving the gift from Yang Sikang, Shentong left in a hurry without stopping. After Yang Sikang opened a box, she had already arrived at Chicheng's office to report the situation.

"We just sent a batch of ship equipment, nothing else?"

Akagi asked repeatedly in confusion, and Shentong once again gave an affirmative answer.

"Except for the female soldier who sent greetings to His Excellency Yang Sikang on behalf of Prince Eugen, there was almost no other communication."

"Prince Eugen personally led a team to come all the way here just to deliver a batch of ship equipment to that man?"

Shentong also felt that this kind of thing was too absurd, but based on the current situation she could not analyze any other possibilities.

Prince Eugen, contrary to his usual behavior, not only did not take the initiative to cause trouble, but instead cooperated with their arrangements.

Even though Shentong was somewhat embarrassed when they met, he had no intention of causing any trouble.

Especially when Shentong insisted that the ship girl on their side should not meet Yang Sikang, Prince Eugen actually agreed readily and asked her to find a female soldier to be responsible for delivering the goods.

Because Prince Eugen was too cooperative, Shentong felt embarrassed to be too cautious and could only arrange things as quickly as possible.

This is also the main reason why the efficiency is so high, but it must be said that this is completely different from what Sakura Empire expected in all aspects.

"What on earth is that woman planning?"

Akagi muttered to himself.

The more Prince Eugen cooperated with their arrangements, the more uneasy she felt.

In her impression, this woman, Prince Eugen, never failed to cause trouble. No matter when she came to Sakura Empire as a diplomat or when they went to Iron Blood, Prince Eugen would always come out and cause trouble for them.

Although most of the time they were harmless little things, it was obvious that the woman enjoyed embarrassing others.

"Did they say when they were going to leave?"

When Akagi asked this, Shentong's expression suddenly became subtle.

"In fact, when I came here, the Iron Blood people had already proposed to return home, hoping that we could help their ships complete resource replenishment as soon as possible."

"…That woman must have some conspiracy."

Akagi said firmly, gritting his teeth.

Prince Eugen is not a guy who has nothing to do. Although he always looks careless, he actually has outstanding abilities in all aspects of work and has a lot of say in Iron Blood.

This woman is basically busy with diplomatic affairs. Running around and making trouble everywhere seems to be the joy of her life.

How is it possible that a guy like this traveled thousands of miles to Sakura Empire, delivered a batch of gifts, and was about to return without even meeting the person? !

It hasn't even been a day since the Iron Blood Fleet arrived at the port of Sakura Empire. Not to mention the fleet led by Prince Eugen, even ordinary merchant ships would not be in such a hurry to leave!

"Tell the Iron Blood people that we are quite busy right now and it will take two days for supplies to arrive. Please be patient. Arrange the personnel and keep an eye on them. We must not let that troublesome woman out of our sight."

"Yes, Akagi-sama."

Shentong took the order and left, while Akagi was still thinking about the Iron Blood Fleet.

She suffered a great loss on Yang Sikang's side, and now at this point in time Prince Eugen happened to come to Sakura Empire. This not only made her feel bad, but also made her feel that the matter was probably not simple.

There are many things that need her to worry about, but she can't do anything about it now, and she feels very helpless.

"If my sister were here..."

Chapter 280: The tyrannical Iron Blood, the danger of traveling at night

"The Iron Blood Fleet is indeed under surveillance."

At midnight, Yang Sikang nodded after listening to the reports from Big Mackerel, Independent and others.

The sudden arrival of the Iron Blood made him somewhat worried that this might be a plot by the Sakura Empire, but after confirming that the Iron Blood fleet was surrounded, he was roughly certain that this should be something beyond Akagi's expectations and was a unilateral action of the Iron Blood.

"Newcastle, what about those ship-mounted containers?"

"We have dismantled several of them according to your instructions. In addition to the first one, we got two Ju87 D-4 torpedo planes and two Me-155A fighters. In addition, there are five torpedo launchers. The model has been confirmed to be quadruple 533mm magnetic torpedoes. The remaining boxes have not been opened yet, but judging from the current situation, I am afraid that the quality is extremely high."

"It's really a generous gift. Such a luxurious meeting gift is really flattering."

Yang Sikang narrowed his eyes and then said:

"Put the ship equipment in storage first and don't use it in a hurry. Wait until you confirm there are no problems."

"Yes."

"Speaking of which, hasn't Belfast finished their side yet?"

Dafeng hadn't appeared for several hours, which made Yang Sikang feel a little strange.

Given Taiho's personality, it shouldn't take her that long just to listen to Belfast and the others introducing her to the other members of the fleet and their daily schedule.

Newcastle smiled and explained:

"Miss Dafeng seems to have a sudden interest in baking, so Belfast should be teaching her the art of baking cookies. If you wish..."

"No, let Belfast teach her then. But since he's teaching baking, Sirius should be free now, right?"

"Do you want Sirius to come over now?"

"Well, I actually wanted to borrow Sirius's greatsword. After all, cold weapons have a much stronger visual impact than pistols."

"Well, it would be ok for you to have Sirius meet you at the door later, right?"

"Let's arrange it this way."

Yang Sikang smiled, turned his head and looked at Newcastle and asked:

"Aren't you going to ask me where I'm going?"

"Since you are going to go out with a weapon, it is all the maid should do to prepare for you."

Yang Sikang smiled.

Maid Belfast will definitely care about where he wants to go, but there is a high probability that she will analyze it on her own without asking. Sirius would just follow orders, but Sheffield would probably care about where he was going and would definitely ask to go with him.

The maids always have their own ways of handling these trivial matters. For example, Hermione would most likely ask directly.

However, because the things purchased for Dafeng had been delivered, Hermione was currently cleaning Dafeng's room, so she was not next to him.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Yang Sikang looked at the time and saw that it was almost time, so he stood up and walked towards the backyard.

The wall of this mansion is very high, but with Yang Sikang's skills he can still climb over it.

Newcastle asked Sirius to wait here, and then gave the greatsword to Yang Sikang to hold in his hand. But when he was about to leave, Sirius still asked:

"You really don't need to let me go, my proud master."

"No need. If you go out with me, you will be too obvious. And those who are waiting for an opportunity in secret may not dare to come out. It is enough for me to go alone."

"But the risk of doing so..."

"Don't worry, I do this all the time."

Yang Sikang smiled and flipped out lightly with the big sword in one hand.
