Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

"No, meow! Why would you think that? Akashi is not going to betray the Sakura Empire, nor is he going to join someone else's fleet, meow!"

"But you just said you were going with the commander."

"This, this is different, meow!"

Akashi quickly explained the situation, and after listening, Shiranui nodded, but her eyes were full of regret.

"I see. I thought you were finally leaving Sakura Empire and were going to hand over all the business here to me."

Akashi's eyes widened as he was about to retort, but Shiranui said:

"So? You came to me just to tell me that you have to go away with someone else for a while? Let me make it clear, I can't see that man, so I will definitely not go with you."

"I know, meow, so what I want is for you to help take care of this store, meow!"

"This shop?"

Shiranui looked back and sighed.

"Wouldn't it be fine to just leave it alone? Just make sure no one destroys it, right?"

"Huff, huff, Shiranui, you're still short-sighted, meow!"

Akashi shook his head smugly, then...pulled a set of contracts from his sleeve.

Half an hour later, Shiranui put down the contract and looked at Akashi with a determined expression:

"I will definitely run this store well without changing anything!"

Chapter 343: Aircraft Carriers’ Training Plan

On the sea far away from the Sakura Empire, several ship girls were dealing with a team of mass-produced Siren ships a few kilometers away.

Light cruisers escort, carrier-based aircraft carry out ground clearing, and then destroyers attack with torpedoes.

This kind of tactics is relatively commonly used by Yang Sikang's fleet. Based on the current advantage in the number of carrier-based aircraft in Yang Sikang's fleet, such tactics can achieve good results most of the time.

However, the actual combat effect depends to a large extent on the degree of cooperation and tacit understanding between the ship girls. What Essex and others are doing here now is to try different combinations of carrier-based aircraft.

It's not that the White Hawk's carrier-based aircraft combination that has been used in the past is not bad, but with the awakening of the Hornet II, Yang Sikang now has 5 Essex-class aircraft in his fleet, which are known for their carrier-based aircraft carrying capacity.

Essex, Dreadnought, Shangri-La, plus the awakened Yorktown and Hornet, in addition to the armored aircraft carrier Taiho.

Qinghang is still just one person.

Such a number represents extremely powerful carrier-based aircraft firepower in any commander's port area, and today's rare full-scale activity was initiated by Shangri-La.

"When a round of carrier-based aircraft directly resolves the battle, there is not much room for maneuver."

Essex looked in the direction of the Siren ships with some regret. After a round of carrier-based aircraft washing the ground, more than a dozen mass-produced ships were now in the process of sinking.

"This is exactly what we are worried about. Now the number of our carrier-based aircraft has completely covered up the possible problems in our control of carrier-based aircraft. We have even gradually begun to no longer need to cooperate with each other."

Shangri-La sighed, pushed his glasses down seriously and said:

"That's what happened in the previous battle. We were all present, but we were unable to provide adequate support to the commander's emergency throughout the battle. It's a good opportunity for us to train together now, and Senior Bumblebee has just been awakened."

Speaking of the previous battle, Wu Wei, who was about to speak, swallowed his words back.

There were 6 aircraft carriers present at the time, including 5 Essex-class aircraft carriers including Yorktown and Independence, but the level of support for Yang Sikang was very low.

“I have discussed this issue with York City seniors before.”

Shangri-La looked at York City, and York City took over the topic and said:

"I think the most important issue for us now is coordination."

"Cooperate?"

Essex and Fearless looked at each other. There shouldn't be any problem in their cooperation with each other.

Not to mention that they had undergone a lot of training when they were in White Eagle before, and when they were actually fighting on the battlefield, they were also based on the dual detection of reconnaissance aircraft and radar, and orders were issued by Shangri-La and Essex.

"We mean cooperation with others."

Yorktown said and looked at Shangri-La, who nodded.

In the distance, a team of ship girls were sailing towards this side. Essex looked over there and saw that they were all ship girls from the Sakura Empire.

At the same time, Javelin and others from the Siren fleet also returned to their side, and soon the team of Sakura Empire ship girls came nearby.

"Oh~ Ayanami is here too!"

Javelin waved in that direction as he spoke, and the others noticed that the ships coming were mostly destroyers and light cruisers.

"So Shangri-La, what are we going to do?"

Shangri-La smiled and took out a paper box with a round hole on the top.

"Let's draw lots. If you are drawn into a team, you have to go together to clean up the nearby Siren fleet, and you are not allowed to use the communication channel. Helena and Independence will stay here and use reconnaissance planes and radar to confirm the performance of each team."

☆

"What? Training?"

In the hospital, Yang Sikang felt a little unbelievable after listening to Belfast's report.

Shangri-La would organize other people to train together. If this is unexpected, it is reasonable when you think about it.

The newly awakened Bumblebee is not suitable for running around recently. He is full of energy and has nowhere to vent it. Yorktown's character will definitely agree with such training.

“Maybe York City will discuss with Shangri-La in advance how to train.”

"Master, your guess is really accurate."

“Is that really the case?”

"Not only that, Miss Yorktown also specially asked Miss Musashi to find a group of destroyers and light cruisers from the Sakura Empire to cooperate with their training."

"That means cooperating with a shipgirl you're not familiar with."

"Yes, so none of our maid team got involved, which is a shame."

Yang Sikang smiled.

If Belfast gets involved, the results of her training will be greatly reduced.

The usefulness of an excellent commander on the battlefield is very obvious. The stronger the execution ability, the more obvious the impact of the commander's level on the actual combat results will be.

Belfast and the other maids have always been the main force of coordination and cooperation on Yang Sikang's side. Therefore, if his own fleet goes into battle, the effect will be very different from fighting with outsiders.

"This shows that our head maid is too good. If we want to make the results of the training more obvious, we have to stop you from commanding."

"Master, you are too kind. This feeling of not being able to participate in the training of my companions is actually very subtle."

"You look like you're enjoying it, though."

"Although I can't participate in training, I am happy to be able to take care of my master."

Yang Sikang looked at his own condition and shook his head helplessly.

He managed to handle Mavis's remote inspection, but he knew very well that he would have to be formally inspected by Mavis again after returning to White Eagle.

Although his injuries have recovered a lot now, the abnormal recovery speed of his broken arm can only cover it up.

The external injuries on the body have actually basically healed, and the necessary examinations are almost completed.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to leave the hospital in two days.

"Master, are you thinking about work again?"

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

"I was just thinking, should I be able to leave the hospital in about two days?"

"According to the reservation, it's four days, but you can leave after two days. But my personal suggestion is that you stay here until four days. If your injury recovers too quickly, people will notice something is wrong."

"Four days then. If staying two more days can avoid some troubles, it's still worth it."

Yang Sikang thought about it and suddenly smiled.

"Come to think of it, the Avatar hasn't come yet."

Chapter 344: A Flash of Five Aircraft Battles

For two consecutive days, Belfast reported that Shangri-La and others were still training.

Although it was not good to intervene rashly, Yang Sikang still asked Belfast to propose to Shangri-La and the others to temporarily stop training.

"I know training is important, but it's not good to be too tense. You have to relax when you need to, so take a break for a few days."

In response to Shangri-La’s question, Yang Sikang replied:

"I understand, Commander."

After the communication ended, Yang Sikang reluctantly readjusted the terminal back to the previous interface.

But as soon as he switched the interface back, he pressed one hand on the screen.

"While you ask Shangri-La and the others to stop training, shouldn't you also take a good rest yourself?"

Yang Sikang let go of his hand, and Belfast took the terminal. He took a glance at it and showed an expression of "as expected", then silently saved and closed the document, and then put the terminal aside.

After two days of recovery, Yang Sikang clearly felt that his condition was much better than before, but he could not leave directly now.

Yang Sikang turned his head helplessly and looked out the window. It was just a casual glance, but he saw an unexpected person appear in his field of vision.

They were a pair of women wearing unique kimonos with white as the main color. Not only were their features obvious, but one of them also seemed to be playing the flute.

Although he couldn't see clearly from his angle through the window, Yang Sikang was very sure that those were the two people that appeared in his mind.

"Why is Wuhangzhan in the hospital?"

Yang Sikang asked, Belfast walked over, took a look and immediately looked away, while Yang Sikang also looked elsewhere and hid himself behind the curtains.

"It is said that the Sakura Empire's 5th Carrier Fighter has a bad relationship with the 1st and 2nd Carrier Fighters. Moreover, they are not often seen. It seems that they are deliberately avoiding us."

"It's not surprising. Both sides looked at each other unfavorably during the Fifth Air War and the First Air War. But since they have been avoiding us recently, why did they show up in the hospital today?"

Yang Sikang thought about it and said:

"Let Sheffield check if there is anyone special hospitalized in the hospital."

"Yes, Master."

While Yang Sikang was making arrangements, Ruihe on the grass below turned his head and looked in the direction of the upstairs.

"Sister Xianghe, it seems that person has really discovered us."

"It's that commander after all, and wasn't it Zuikaku who you said you were coming to see him?"

"That's true, but I didn't see anyone. He hid really quickly. Is he too alert?"

"You've done so many great things in our Sakura Empire, and you're still pushing for your seniors to take full control of Sakura Empire. It's normal that you don't want to run into us."

"Is that so? But I'd really like to spar with her shipgirl. I heard that Bumblebee claims to have the same title as Enterprise?"

As Zuihe said, his fingers gently rubbed the handle of the knife, but Xianghe didn't seem to care much about it.

"Don't believe that, Zuikaku. And we can't fight them. This is the unanimous opinion of the adults."

"I, I know, Sister Shoukaku."

Shokaku looked at Zuikaku, still feeling a little worried.

Zuikaku is fine in other aspects, but he is completely different from her in terms of fighting. He is a little too warlike.

But the ship girls on Yang Sikang's side are a large number of Essex class...

Shokaku also took a look at the window. Based on what they knew, the commander should be behind that window.

"Forget it, if you didn't see it, then you didn't see it. Sister Shoukaku, shall we go?"

"it is good."

Shokaku stood up and was about to leave when he suddenly turned around and saw a white-haired figure by the window greeting him.

After responding politely, Zuikaku noticed that she hadn't followed him and turned around.

"What's wrong, Sister Shoukaku?"

"That's fine. Let's go. This is a good time to go shopping. Let's make tempura today."

"Great! Shokaku-san makes the best tempura!"
