Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

Akashi was completely knocked unconscious, with his tail hanging vertically there.

"Tsk, you actually knocked yourself out?"

Yang Sikang thought for a moment, dug out a bunch of keys from behind the counter, then found a closed sign and hung it on the window. He closed the door, then carried Mingshi back to his residence in a swagger.

They received a lot of attention along the way because they were carrying Akashi. When Yang Sikang just returned to his residence and handed the unconscious Akashi to Belfast, Akagi and the others contacted him.

After briefly explaining the situation, Akagi didn't bother with the matter anymore.

After waiting for about half an hour, Belfast came back.

"Master, Miss Akashi has woken up."

"Okay, I'll go over now."

After saving the documents at hand, Yang Sikang came to the room where Mingshi was resting.

"woke up?"

"Hoo-meow?!"

Mingshi turned his head stiffly and looked at Yang Sikang, while Yang Sikang smiled and said:

"You broke my gun and you even tried to run away after I found you. You are amazing, Akashi."

"I can explain this."

Akashi covered his face with his sleeves, leaving only his eyes exposed, which were filled with tears.

"Akashi, Akashi didn't damage your weapon on purpose, it was just some unexpected circumstances..."

Yang Sikang didn't say anything either, but just smiled and watched Mingshi explain.

Mingshi seemed to realize something, but she was still explaining tearfully. However, Yang Sikang didn't listen to her explanation at all, but waited until she finished and asked directly:

"Anyway, I gave you a working pistol to repair, but you tried to get away with it and even tried to run away when it broke, didn't you?"

“This, this is…”

"Although I don't know how you broke the pistol, to be honest, even if it was broken, I wouldn't do anything to you. But why did you run away?"

Without waiting for Mingshi to continue explaining, Yang Sikang said:

"Breaking something that needs repair is different from breaking something and then trying to escape. You should understand this, right? So it's not too much for me to ask you for compensation now, right? How are you going to compensate me for my losses, Akashi?"

Chapter 328 Depart early

Under Yang Sikang's patient questioning, Mingshi quickly explained the whole story.

Simply put, during the repair process, Akashi gradually discovered the pistol's unconventional structure and special material.

When Akashi realized that the material of the pistol was most likely a new type of material that had never been seen before, he immediately thought that he would be able to make a lot of money by making different types of weapons with such material.

With the idea of ​​"take it apart a bit and have a look, then put it back together and no one will notice", Akashi dismantled the pistol before the repair was completely completed.

Then her material analysis did not produce the desired results. Not only that, when she was about to give up and reassemble the pistol, she discovered that it could not be put back together because the internal structure of the pistol was abnormal.

But Yang Sikang did not go to her to get the pistol back, so Mingshi simply kept it a secret.

If it were anyone else, she wouldn't have concealed it, but Yang Sikang had a bad reputation, and she was just a maintenance ship.

So, Akashi backed off.

"So now that I've caught you and you're trying to escape, won't the consequences be even worse?"

Yang Sikang asked helplessly, Mingshi nodded and replied in a low voice:

"Akashi should have escaped sooner."

“Is this a question of running away?”

Yang Sikang stretched out his hand and pinched Mingshi's face, shaking it left and right. Tears flashed in the green-haired cat's eyes, and it protested incoherently.

"You only have two choices now. Either repair my pistol for me, or come and work for me."

Yang Sikang let go of his hand and Mingshi immediately hid aside, but Belfast immediately caught her out again.

"Well, the material of that gun, Akashi, can't be processed! If I want to repair it, I have to be able to process it, nya!!"

"But what I asked for was just a simple repair, which you could have done, right? The reason it's broken now is because you took apart parts that didn't need to be taken apart in order to secretly study the materials I developed."

"Well, this, this is..."

"Although I haven't applied for a patent for my material, that's because I don't plan to apply that unstable material to other areas at this stage. You are stealing my technology, Akashi."

"Woooo..."

"And I gave it to you because I trusted your skills, Akashi, but you broke it and tried to hide it, and ran away as soon as I found out."

Yang Sikang smiled and said word by word:

"Akashi, if you do things like this, I will be very disappointed."

"terribly sorry."

Mingshi knelt down in front of Yang Sikang in a standard posture.

No matter what, she broke her weapon and planned to escape. Akashi knew she was in the wrong, and she couldn't escape now.

"Then Akashi, you can come work for me."

Yang Sikang took out the terminal and directly communicated with Chicheng and explained the situation.

Unexpectedly, Akagi was extremely straightforward about this matter and directly agreed to hand Mingshi over to Yang Sikang for disposal.

After hanging up the call, Yang Sikang asked doubtfully:

"Do you have other entities?"

Akashi's eyes flickered a little, but he still pointed his finger and replied:

"Well, I wanted to open branches in other ports, so..."

Want to open a branch, so you set up a few of your own?

Although it was a bit outrageous, when Yang Sikang thought that the person who did it was Mingshi, it didn't seem strange anymore.

As for the result, Yang Sikang didn't want to ask.

"Then you will work for me from now on, Belfast. Let Sheffield and Newcastle accompany Akashi back to get the things."

"Yes, Master."

Akashi followed Belfast away dejectedly. She was in the wrong first, and Akagi simply sold her out. Akashi had nothing to say.

Watching Mingshi leave, Yang Sikang's eyes darkened.

"Akashi from the main family actually let her follow me so readily. Has Akagi guessed what I was thinking? Or does he have some other purpose?"

Akashi and Yubari, these two ship girls are special types of talents that he needs now.

On the one hand, Akashi can provide repairs for other ship girls, but what is more important to Yang Sikang is their scientific research capabilities.

Akagi's willingness to let Akashi from the main family follow him might not be due to his intention to awaken Amagi as soon as possible, but it is a good thing anyway.

Yang Sikang shook his head and put aside those unnecessary worries. He took out the terminal, hesitated for a moment, and then called Musashi.

"Is Your Excellency Yang Sikang ready?"

Musashi didn't say anything polite and went straight to the point. Yang Sikang sighed and replied:

"Yes, we will prepare to awaken him tomorrow afternoon. I hope you will give your all then, Musashi."

"Mr. Yang Sikang, you shouldn't be worried about me right now, right?"

"There's no point in me worrying about the Siren."

"And Miss Yorktown?"

"…Is it okay to ask her to go with you tomorrow?"

"of course can."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Sikang sighed.

"Master, won't you let Miss Yorktown come back?"

"Letting Yorktown and the others go with Musashi is just in case, and...it's nothing."

Yang Sikang shook his head. It was difficult for him to explain the sudden feeling he had just had.

As if it was some kind of premonition, when he was about to ask Yorktown and the others to come back, he suddenly felt that it might be better to let them stay with Musashi.

This feeling is hard to explain, and there is absolutely no basis for it.

From an objective point of view, letting York City and the others come back is definitely a better choice.

Leaving aside the combat capability, the only aircraft in Yang Sikang's fleet that can provide underwater support is the Bluefin Sail, and Yorktown's Skyraider is far stronger than other carrier-based aircraft when facing the Siren's fleet.

Yang Sikang looked at Belfast and said with a smile:

"The Siren might give us some surprises tomorrow, so you better be careful."

"You are the one. Please be careful. It will be very bad if we are separated like last time."

The next day, Yang Sikang got up very early.

He quickly got himself ready with the help of the maids and after breakfast, all the ship girls in his fleet had assembled.

Yang Sikang asked Akashi and Ayanami to look after Shenyue, and asked Akagi to send the three little ones over as well.

After that, Yang Sikang took the lead in leaving the port with the ship girls.

Because Bumblebee is more likely to cause problems for the Sakura Empire, the only location to be chosen for the awakening is a relatively distant sea area.

Although it is dangerous, if the Siren really takes action, there will be better room for maneuver, and there is no need to worry about the port area being affected during the battle.

This is basically the high seas, so Yang Sikang ordered the Donghuang fleet not to get close to this area to avoid being dragged in.

But after arriving at the target sea area, the surroundings were very quiet.

"Commander, the surrounding seas are safe, no response from the Siren has been detected."

Helena's voice came through the communication channel, but Yang Sikang frowned slightly.

"Let's carry out the investigation according to the plan. London, Shangri-La, Essex, and Belfast, the four of you will lead the team and start the operation."

Shangri-La and Essex were responsible for commanding the high-altitude patrols and search missions of reconnaissance aircraft, while Belfast and London took several members of the Maid Team to conduct sea surface reconnaissance.

Wichita and Newcastle remained on Yang Sikang's command ship on standby, which was the search arrangement made in advance.

The specific actions of the fleet are confirmed by the four people at any time through communication, so as to ensure the search efficiency while leaving no blind spots.

With Yang Sikang's command ship as the center, the search range gradually expanded outward.

Chapter 329 Siren's Sudden Attack

"Master, no abnormalities were found. We encountered three Siren mass-produced warships and have sunk them."

"receive."

After an hour-long intensive search, the result was only less than ten mass-produced Sirens.

Considering the quantity, quality, location and direction of their appearance, it looked like just an ordinary encounter.

Siren seemed to be unprepared for anything, which made Yang Sikang feel uneasy.

"come back."

Soon, the ship girls who had left this place gradually returned, but the scope of reconnaissance did not shrink.

The light cruisers and destroyers first confirmed the safety of the surrounding search area, and then the continuous monitoring and patrol tasks were handed over to the reconnaissance aircraft of the aircraft carriers.

After waiting for a while, as the sky gradually brightened, the patrol team of the Sakura Empire also arrived nearby.

The gathering of Yang Sikang and others here obviously attracted their attention, but precisely because they were Yang Sikang and others, the patrol team did not do anything unnecessary. After simply confirming their identities, they left and continued patrolling.

The agreed time was in the afternoon, but they came out so early to guard against the Sirens.

But now he felt like he had energy but nowhere to use it, and the Siren didn't make any movement at all.

Lunch was eaten by the Javelin and Maid Team with lunch boxes prepared last night, and the patrols did not stop at all during this period.

Prepare completely as you would for a battle until the agreed time gradually arrives.
