Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

Prince Eugen was very decisive, which also made Yang Sikang very satisfied.

“Of course it can’t be sold.”

Prince Eugen narrowed his eyes and smiled even more brightly:

"Well, since you chose to bring this up to me directly, it must not be some small order, right?"

"Of course, the reward will definitely satisfy Iron Blood, but the prerequisite is that it can meet my requirements."

"Please don't worry about the product quality. We at Tiexue have always had an excellent reputation in this regard."

"I'm not worried about the quality of your product, but I hope that human governments won't be involved."

This request was obviously beyond Prince Eugen's expectations, but she quickly gave a reply:

"no problem."

The Iron Blood and Sakura Empire's camps are completely different from Azur Lane's in this matter. Their ship girls have extremely high independence and voice in their own country, unlike the White Eagles who would compete with their own navy and politicians in a battle of wits and courage.

Although this situation has its historical reasons and also has great disadvantages, its advantages are equally incomparable when needed.

For example, the request raised by Yang Sikang would never be agreed to so quickly by either White Eagle, Royal or Donghuang, and it would even be very difficult to determine the result within a few days.

However, on the Iron Blood side, Prince Eugen only thought for less than two seconds.

Akagi did not interrupt the conversation between Yang Sikang and Eugen. He only waited until the two were sure that the deal was indeed promising before agreeing on a time to discuss it in detail.

Of course, this kind of deal cannot be finalized right here. There are many details to be determined and things to be discussed.

After they finished their conversation, Akagi spoke:

"Mr. Yang Sikang, I wonder if Sakura Empire can also participate?"

Yang Sikang turned his head and smiled slightly:

"Let's talk somewhere else, Akagi."

In Chicheng's office, Yang Sikang held the teacup, took a sip, and slowly put the cup down.

At this time, Akagi asked again:

"Mr. Yang Sikang, can you let Chongying get involved in the business you discussed with Tiexue earlier?"

Yang Sikang smiled, shook his head and said:

"Just letting the Sakura Empire intervene is not enough, right?"

Akagi smiled slightly:

"Of course, it would be better if there were more deals. But as far as I know, you have not yet taken up the post, and judging from the current situation, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to take up the post, right?"

Akagi paused here and added:

"If I said that the plan to ambush you with the Sirens was initiated by the Sirens, would you be more willing to talk about it?"

"I know, but I don't care."

Yang Sikang smiled and said:

"I still have a long time to prepare before I am scheduled to take up my post, and I have gained a lot now. So if you want to gain some trade advantages through this matter, Akagi, you should not waste this time. Besides... how many things can the Sakura Empire trade to me that the Eastern Empire cannot give me?"

He looked into Akagi's eyes, still smiling, and said:

"I won't beat around the bush, Akagi. I just want to know one thing. What conditions do you need to control those people in Sakura Empire? I'm not talking about those petty things. I want Sakura Empire to... obey you."

Akagi raised his eyebrows and his expression suddenly changed.

"It seems that what Lord Yang Sikang is planning is even bigger than I thought."

"Otherwise, why would I come to Sakura?"

Yang Sikang had no intention of denying it and said bluntly:

"When I was building Taiho, I found Yubari in the construction room. If nothing unexpected happened, she should have told you a long time ago, right? Not only Taiho, you and Kaga can also build it. Regardless of whether you admit it or not, the Mind Cube will not lie."

He looked at Akagi, and the gentle smile on his face made Akagi's heart sink to the bottom, and he felt like he was completely seen through.

"Akagi, you should know clearly that there is no conflict of interest or purpose between us. You can think about it slowly if you want to stick to your own choice or stand behind me. I am not in a hurry. But you must think it through clearly. After all, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back."

Chapter 285 Reasons why you can’t go to Minato City

Somewhere outside the mainland of Sakura Empire, on the calm sea, a small speedboat was quietly anchored here.

Sitting on the side of the boat was Yang Sikang, with a fishing rod fixed next to him and a telescope in his hand, not knowing what he was looking at.

Occasionally, on the sea not far away, you can see a large bluefin tuna floating up from the water and then quickly diving down, and next to him stands Belfast.

The matters with Prince Eugen were handed over to Shangri-La and London. Originally, he planned to let Belfast be responsible for this matter, but London took the initiative to offer to go with Shangri-La instead of Belfast.

Minneapolis' injuries recovered quickly under the treatment of Akashi and others, but Jarvis and Janus are still taking care of her.

Javelina and Wichita did not come to fish with them. After all, it was a boring activity most of the time, and it was also safer here.

As for Akagi, Yang Sikang directly handed the matter over to Dafeng, although Belfast seemed a little worried in this regard.

"Master, you don't have to negotiate with Akagi in person. Is that really okay?"

Yang Sikang turned his head, looked at Belfast who was still standing, smiled and shook his head.

"Taihou is capable of handling these matters. After all, she is also a ship girl of the Sakura Empire. There are many things that are more convenient for her to handle than for me."

Belfast sighed helplessly:

"Master, I am not worried about Miss Dafeng's ability or your vision. It's just that given how much Miss Dafeng loves you, I'm worried that she might do something radical."

"It doesn't matter. No matter what extreme things Dafeng does, it's acceptable."

Yang Sikang moved aside as he spoke, and Belfast sat down beside him obediently. Yang Sikang continued:

"When I first built you, I was thinking about getting my own port as soon as possible, and then taking up my post and establishing my own territory. But now I don't plan to do that. Do you know why?"

Belfast thought for a moment and replied:

"Because of the Sirens?"

Yang Sikang nodded and said:

"That's one reason, but more importantly, I'm beginning to realize that some problems will be difficult to solve once I take up my post. So, I have to solve these problems now before I take up my post in my own port district."

Yang Sikang smiled and added helplessly:

"Of course, we have provoked a high-level Siren, so if we were to take up the post now with our current combat power, we would most likely not be a match for the Siren. This is also a very important reason."

Yang Sikang himself was also helpless about this.

From the moment the Purifier's body was defeated, he knew that his appointment to the port area must be postponed as much as possible.

With his knowledge of the Sirens, let alone those guys from the Arbitration Agency, even a single Purifier would be no match for his fleet if they wanted to.

The Sirens now have a strong desire to kill him. If he leaves the home port now, he will be dead without the support of the home port and in a port area that has been cleaned by the Sirens and does not even have basic production capacity.

Although the strength of his fleet increased rapidly and could continue to improve, he was not so arrogant as to think that he could fight against the experimental agency with his current strength.

His greatest advantage is that he has a general understanding of his own weight.

Therefore, ever since he made up his mind to provoke the high-level Sirens, he no longer considered taking up the post early.

It was true that he wanted to escape from White Eagle's control, but compared to those White Eagle politicians whom he had already beaten, the threat posed by the experimental agency was much greater!

The serious injury to Minneapolis was a heavy blow to him. The tester almost hit Minneapolis directly with just a small trick.

, and this happened even though he had prepared in advance and thought he was fully prepared!

Originally, the purpose of his trip to Sakura Empire had been basically achieved. The original goal was to get Akagi and the others to admit defeat, and then he would have a frank communication with them, leave some backup plans, and then return.

But after what happened in Minneapolis, he felt like his original goals were falling far short.

Perhaps, I can take this opportunity to plant a seed and get more.

"Master, it's not your fault that Minneapolis got hurt. You were perfectly prepared."

Belfast's voice brought his thoughts back, and Yang Sikang shook his head:

"But after all, it was an unexpected situation. I knew that the test subject could have multiple individuals at the same time. If I had considered it more carefully, this would not have happened."

"No one can consider all possibilities at all times. You will tire yourself out if you do this, Master."

Belfast looked at Yang Sikang with concern. Yang Sikang smiled and comforted him:

"I'm just learning from what happened. Don't worry, I'm very skilled in these things and I won't overwork myself."

"You don't sound very convincing."

Belfast obviously didn't believe Yang Sikang's words. This was not the first time that he stayed up late to study.

But many things had to be completed as soon as possible, and she really couldn't say anything to ask Yang Sikang to stop working.

Even though Mavis had been giving Yang Sikang a physical examination, she still felt uneasy.

“There’s nothing we can do about it now.”

Yang Sikang also sighed helplessly. He knew that Belfast wanted to persuade him not to put too much pressure on himself.

However, whether it is the threat of the Sirens or the fact that the ship girls from another world are gradually becoming active in this world, they both give him a strong sense of crisis.

The high-level Sirens were eager to kill him, but his fleet was not strong enough to fight against the experimental agency.

Because his initial plan is different from now, the time for him to take office is getting closer and closer.

Although given the current situation, White Eagle should be able to see through his crisis and will not force him to take up the post.

But the more he relies on the White Eagle home port, the more passive he becomes in negotiations.

However, improving the strength of one's own fleet is not something that can be achieved overnight.

Even if a large number of ship girls are built at once, there are still big problems such as running-in and ship equipment, and time is an indispensable condition.

He was also worried that his former ship girls were gradually becoming active in this world.

He knew very well that neither his nor their coming into this world was a normal situation.

He himself is a time traveler, and with that strange woman interfering, there is room for explanation for his coming to this world.

But why did his former ship girls appear here and are they taking certain actions in secret?

He knew deeply that there must be some reason that he didn't know.

But now his former ship girls were obviously trying to avoid direct contact with him, and the black fog that was always lingering around them also gave him a sense of danger that came from his physical instinct.

"Wuwaha!~ Are you scared, Commander?"

The bluefin tuna suddenly came out from under Yang Sikang's feet. Yang Sikang came to his senses and was a little scared, but he immediately saw the "trophy" in the bluefin tuna's hand.

“What a beautiful lobster.”

Yang Sikang praised sincerely.

Chapter 286: Night Talk (1) The Root Problem of Sakura Empire

At night, by the port.

When Yang Sikang arrived here, Chicheng had been waiting here for a long time.

It seemed that she had been standing here for a long time. Yang Sikang turned his head to look at Belfast, and the head maid nodded slightly.

"Akagi, you found me so late, is there something urgent?"

"If there is nothing urgent, can't you come out at night? Mr. Yang Sikang."

Yang Sikang smiled.

"Of course, I'm personally happy to keep you company. After all, Akagi, you're so busy right now, and you actually have the free time to come to me for some unimportant things."

Chicheng had a smile on his face and did not react much to Yang Sikang's words.

After having experienced Yang Sikang's methods, these verbal words alone could no longer cause any major psychological fluctuations in her.

She was already prepared before he came up to her.

"You are indeed very interesting. Taiho is also a ship girl of our Sakura Empire, but you dare to let her come alone to negotiate those important matters with us. Although all the ship girls built will obey the commander, in fact, you are the only one who has built a 'main family' ship girl so far."

Akagi narrowed his eyes and said:

"Aren't you worried that the phoenix will lean towards us?"
