Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

The importance of maritime territory is very high, especially the existence of port areas, which are important nodes for ensuring maritime trade routes!

What’s more, losing the port means not only the ocean trade routes, but also the air transport!

Which cargo plane can guarantee to stably cross the Siren occupied waters?

If there is a carrier-based aircraft on the opposite side, the cargo plane and all the cargo inside will be destroyed!

Therefore, for any country, abandoning port areas, especially the frontline port areas, is a very important matter!

"Who knows what those politicians are thinking, but this is the fact. Their evacuation work was already underway last year, before I came to this world. I calculated the time, and at the current pace, the QX-306 port area will be completely abandoned before my internship is over."

Once that place is really abandoned by the White Eagle side, it will no longer be a question of whether Yang Sikang is willing to go there, but that he would be seeking death even if he goes there.

A port area that no longer exists in the records is simply a dead end for him at this stage!

Therefore, he must do something, at least he must preserve the organization of the QX-306 port area!

Chapter 29: Chatting in Port

Inside the port office.

Lexington sat in a chair, looking at the documents in hand while listening to Memphis's footsteps approaching from afar.

Memphis was in a bad mood today, and her footsteps were heavier than ever before.

Each kick seemed to crush something, and there was a feeling of gritting teeth.

It's not often you see Memphis lose its composure like this, and Lexington enjoyed it.

Although she is an idol, she still feels excited to see the unusual side of her friends in private, but she will not show this childish thought.

"The problem has been solved. But, Lexington! That guy named Yang Sikang had planned this all along. I suspect he was also responsible for the news reaching the royal family!"

"Alright, alright, calm down Memphis."

Seeing that Memphis seemed to be losing control of his emotions, Lexington quickly comforted him:

"We have all met that commander. Although he is a bit strong, it is a good thing for the current situation of our Azur Lane, isn't it? At least he is on our side, and Cleveland and Enterprise in the port area are both indebted to him."

"But look at these. I'm almost certain that the man WBI mentioned was killed by him! That guy did such a thing openly and even used us to clean up his troubles!"

"It's not a bad idea to be smart. Besides, the WBI came to our port area just for a homeless man who had already committed a crime. You know what's going on."

"But this is not a reason for that guy to use us openly... So, Lexington, why do you always speak up for him?"

"Haha~ He is a very interesting talent after all. Look at this, and this."

Lexington handed over a few pieces of paper that had been placed aside, and Memphis frowned after taking them.

"Optimization of material currency distribution, management and screening of commander candidates, and increased training content. Haven't we seen all of this? Was it written by that guy?!"

Memphis seemed to understand the key to Lexington's change of attitude. These proposals, which were as rigorous as papers, were all sent back to the headquarters from this current home port.

As one of the people in the department who is closely related to these matters, Memphis naturally did not miss these articles whose value can be understood by just a few minutes of quick reading.

She thought of many possibilities, but she never imagined that these articles with a steady style, courage, and elegant and polite wording would be written by that... arrogant guy?!

The documents in her hand, which she considered as important materials worthy of reference and consideration not long ago, now looked a bit disgusting.

Memphis resisted the urge to tear up the A4 papers and put them back on the table.

She turned her head and looked around, but didn't see the person she was looking for.

"Enterprise is not here. I asked her to take Cleveland away first."

"why?"

Memphis frowned and asked:

"Isn't one of the purposes of our coming here to find out what's going on in Cleveland?"

"I almost knew about this matter. It was when you were busy with things over there in Memphis."

"So fast?"

Memphis was a little surprised, but she felt relieved when she thought that it was Lexington after all.

Lexington is gentle, considerate and passionate about idol activities, but like Saratoga, anyone who really underestimates her will suffer a great loss.

"Yeah, the result is quite surprising. Cleveland actually... refused to say anything."

"what?!"

"Cleveland didn't tell anyone, including Enterprise, why she was so determined to make that man the commander. It almost cost her her reputation, but no one knew the reason for this."

"how come?!"

☆

The port is on the shore.

Enterprise looked around and walked over to Cleveland's side.

Unlike the ship girls who can be treated in the hospital and slowly recover on their own, the mass-produced type, although also facilitated by the Rubik's Cube, still needs to be docked and repaired.

In addition, the amount of materials required by the home port is huge, which cannot be supplied by land transportation alone without railway connection. This large port is prepared for this purpose.

Now is not the time to unload cargo, and most of the ships docked here are mass-produced ships waiting for repairs.

Cleveland was not a war maniac, but in her spare time she was always keen on watching mass-produced warships being repaired or cargo ships entering the port.

Sometimes she would even help unload the goods herself, which resulted in several misunderstandings.

But since she rescued the man from the sea, she rarely did such things.

She devoted more time to that man, and it was not until her reputation was almost ruined that the guy finally agreed to be the commander.

Fortunately, Cleveland's persistence paid off.

Regardless of his seemingly arbitrary construction that allowed him to build anyone he designated, the command he gave in the previous battle alone was enough to erase any doubts about Cleveland.

That guy is an excellent commander.

"I was only away for a few minutes, and you're here again."

"Enterprise, there's nothing to do. When I see these ships being repaired, I feel relieved for some reason."

"Really? But I don't feel that way. Before, our commander said it was because I was Enterprise, the gray ghost of the Pacific. But that's not just my credit, and I'm obviously different from the one in the main family."

"That's what our commander is like. You know that..."

Cleveland shook his head helplessly, but quickly restrained his expression.

She and Enterprise were once ship girls under the same commander, but they are not from the same family after all.

However, their commander had passed away many years ago.

Not dying under naval gunfire might be considered lucky in the eyes of others, but for that guy, perhaps dying on the battlefield was better than dying on a sickbed.

From then on, they joined the ship girls of Azur Lane.

Most of the other companions were scattered to various places, but she and Qiye have never been separated until now.

"So, can I know why you are so determined to protect that man? Are you attracted to him?"

"What are you talking about? There's no such thing."

Cleveland shook his head.

Like her and Enterprise next to her, there are ship girls who once had commanders but later left for various reasons.

According to the rules of Azur Lane, they have the freedom to choose. In other words, in theory, if they like a commander and reach an agreement with him, they can directly serve under him.

Although the principle is unclear, this situation has never led to two identical ship girls under the command of the same commander.

When other commanders have ship girls like themselves under their command, the ship girls have never actively chosen each other.

But objectively speaking, the number of ship girls who chose the commander for the second time is only a very small number.

"If you want to be his ship girl, I have no objection. That guy is indeed a capable person. I believe he will achieve great success in the future."

"I've said I don't have such thoughts...Okay, okay, I know you're doing this for my own good. After all, if I don't give a reasonable reason, the headquarters will probably ask me to go back for investigation."

Cleveland scratched his hair helplessly, turned to face the enterprise with a bitter face.

"But I really can't tell you, at least not now."

Enterprise looked straight at Cleveland, and Cleveland met her gaze.

The two sides looked at each other for a while, and finally the enterprise was defeated.

She knew her old friend too well. Just like now, she knew very well that she couldn't get any answer from her.

"Forget it, I'll think of a solution. If it doesn't work, I'll ask my family for help."

"I'm sorry to trouble you again."

"Nothing, but remember to tell me the answer when you feel you can."

"must."

Cleveland laughed cheerfully, and even the enterprise smiled helplessly, infected by her smile.

"Go back and get ready."

Enterprise suddenly patted Cleveland on the shoulder, smiled evilly and said under Cleveland's puzzled gaze:

"Lexington told me that among the follow-up personnel is Columbia, our Columbia."

"Um...Colombia..."

Cleveland's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly pulled the collar of his shawl to try to hide his changing expression.

However, Enterprise just smiled gently and said:

"Let's go, let's go back quickly."

Chapter 30 Please, Belfast

Inside the port office.

After learning that those documents were written by Yang Sikang, the guy who gave her a very bad first impression, Memphis quickly used her authority to retrieve all the information and records about him.

She had already understood some basic things. After all, Yang Sikang was rescued from dangerous waters and did not belong to this world.

Even though he is at his home port here, the headquarters is still paying some attention to him.

“I didn’t expect there would be so many.”

Memphis sighed helplessly and put down what he was doing.

In order to ensure that he would not be handed over to the White Eagle Navy and to save some money for himself, Yang Sikang spent a considerable amount of time on writing, the only thing he could do in the first three months, so he has now mobilized a lot of things.

However, how much of it is valuable is debatable.

After all, some things are obviously written purely for the sake of royalties, especially those published in publications of ordinary people outside Hong Kong.

"I heard that these things made him a lot of money."

"But I can't even afford a ship uniform."

Memphis curled his lips and retorted that the price of ship equipment was extremely expensive, except for the lowest quality ones.

But anyone with a normal brain would not buy those inferior products. As for the proper ship equipment, it is indeed unaffordable to buy it with the money earned from the things he wrote without any practical data.

Lexington knew that Memphis had a very bad first impression of Yang Sikang, so he just smiled and didn't argue with her.

She knew very well that even if Memphis was harsh in words, her vision would definitely allow her to see the value of the new commander.

Sure enough, Memphis then said:

"The company seemed to have said before that the guy was planning to take up a position in the port area after a year of internship, and he even made a bet with the company?"

"Yes, and when Enterprise came to support us before, he was the one who commanded the battle over there, and everyone spoke highly of him."

Lexington looked at Memphis with great interest, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

However, Memphis was still looking at the information at this time and did not notice the change in Lexington's expression which was not concealed at all.

"Although the company made a bet with him, this is against the rules. I think we should find a way to keep him, at least..."

"Pfft."

Lexington couldn't help laughing out loud. Memphis's hand suddenly stopped and he looked up in confusion, then saw Lexington's expression as if he was watching a show.
