Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

"What do you mean Javelin?"

"Eh? What do you mean? Hmm... If it's just to play for a while, I'm very willing. But, if it's Nagato-san's sister, I don't understand the etiquette here?"

"Don't worry, Mutsu... Well, in short, you don't have to pay attention to etiquette, and you don't have to worry about other issues. Of course, when you want to leave, I won't force you to stay."

Nagato looked at Javelin expectantly, and Javelin looked at Yang Sikang in panic.

Seeing Yang Sikang nodding, Javelin agreed.

Nagato called Jiang Feng to go to Mutsu first with the javelin. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and saluted Yang Sikang and thanked him:

"Thank you very much for your understanding, Your Excellency Yang Sikang."

"No, Javelin should be able to get along with Mutsu. I believe they will get along better. Unfortunately, I will leave Shigesakura in a month. Haha, if I had known earlier, I should have come to visit earlier. I should be more sorry for delaying it until now.”

"No, you are a guest, just be casual."

Nagato shook his head, then sighed.

"Mutsu is always a bit willful, which is really a headache."

"Really? I think maybe Nagato is being too serious?"

Yang Sikang smiled and said:

"Although you hold a high position, you should let yourself relax sometimes, right? For example, whether it is the First Air Battle or the Fifth Air Battle, you should relax yourself occasionally, right?"

"I, I am the flagship of the United Fleet, and I am also the Son of God..."

"But wouldn't it be a pity if the Chongsakura you wanted to protect went astray while you were too tense and neglected other things?"

Yang Sikang suddenly said such words in a cold voice.

Nagato was unprepared and didn't know how to respond.

But the next second, Yang Sikang's attitude suddenly changed:

"By the way, let me introduce you. This is Belfast, my trusted head maid. This is Shangri-La, who should be regarded as the secretary for the time being. You must have heard of their two names, Nagato. However, I won’t say more about the specific information.”

Nagato came to his senses and greeted the two of them politely.

Of course she already knew the information about Belfast and Shangri-La. It would be better to say that if she wanted to know Yang Sikang now, there was no possibility of bypassing these two people.

It is even more impossible to ignore them. One is a head maid who is highly regarded by the royal family and few people can build it even in the royal camp. The other is a member of the famous Essex class, and it happens to be Shangri-La. .

The wife of Doolittle who was involved in the 'Doolittle Raid' incident was invited to throw champagne at the launching ceremony of Shangri-La.

And the naming of Shangri-La is also related to the air raid in a sense.

On this basis, coupled with Shangri-La's personal abilities, it is difficult not to notice her.

"His Excellency Yang Sikang came to visit, but he didn't come for me, right?"

Nagato calmed down his mood, took a sip of tea and asked his question.

Yang Sikang smiled and asked:

"Why not? She's the second flagship of the Sakura Empire Combined Fleet, and a BIG 7 battleship. She's also pretty good in terms of combat power, and she's also pretty cute. It's worth a trip just for you, right?"

"Well?!"

Nagato's eyes widened when she heard this. She had obviously never expected Yang Sikang's sudden words, and she suddenly choked on her tea.

"You, what are you saying...I, I am the Son of God!"

"Chong Ying's divine son, I know that. But I told Akagi before. She should have told you that I have already solved your problem of restricting your own construction."

"Just, even so..."

Nagato waved his hands meaninglessly in a panic.

Yang Sikang couldn't help but laugh, but the laughter only aggravated Nagato's embarrassment.

Her little face suddenly turned red, but she refused to lower her head and tried to show a dangerous expression as seriously as possible.

However, because of trying too hard, not only does it not make people feel scared, but it actually looks more cute.

"Sorry, the joke was a bit too much. But Nagato, you are really too nervous. If I wanted to seek something from you, I should have come here long before I returned to my place independently."

Yang Sikang took a breath and suppressed his smile:

"Where can I let you have a good understanding of my situation and inform you in advance before coming?"

Nagato was stunned for a moment and fell silent briefly.

"What exactly is your wish?"

She looked at Yang Sikang doubtfully and shook her head:

"Whether it's Akagi or me, we are all fighting to protect Chongsakura. Although I also know that there are some differences between me and Akagi, our ultimate goal is the same."

"But you are different from us. You were not born in this world, and you have not shouldered any responsibility. Why do you have to work so hard?"

Nagato looked at Yang Sikang with a complicated expression, and then shook his head.

"I'm sorry, you don't have to answer these questions, just think of it as my ramblings."

"That's not necessary. I can answer this question for you."

Yang Sikang said with a smile.

Nagato paused and looked over with some expectation.

Yang Sikang smiled and said:

"Because there are people in this world who expect me, I can't accept not repaying my kindness. But unfortunately, I can't repay that benefactor in other ways. And now..."

He smiled, looked into Nagato's eyes and said slowly:

"From the moment I decided to embark on this path, I already had people to protect."

Nagato opened his eyes wide, exhaled slowly, and saluted Yang Sikang.

Chapter 422 Arrogant Ambition

"There's no need to be so serious."

Yang Sikang said helplessly.

"This is my personal respect for you."

Nagato shook his head and said, and Jiang Feng also came back at this time.

"Nagato-sama, Miss Javelin has already met with Mutsu-sama."

Nagato nodded, Jiang Feng glanced at Yang Sikang and returned to her previous alert position.

"Jiang Feng has always been a little concerned about your previous affairs, I'm sorry."

"Does the previous incident refer to my previous incident or the incident where I killed people on Chongying's side?"

"It refers to the latter. Although those people may indeed be somewhat guilty..."

"For some reasons that have not yet been fully determined, it would be a bit too cruel to just kill them all, right?"

Nagato didn't expect Yang Sikang to speak so straightforwardly, so he hesitated slightly and nodded to confirm his statement.

Yang Sikang smiled and said nonchalantly:

"Objectively speaking, it may be a bit cruel, but I have to say that it is very effective, isn't it? Whether the thoughts in those people's minds are good or bad for Shigesakura, you should know it well, Nagato, right?"

Nagato didn't answer, but silence itself was an answer.

Yang Sikang shook his head:

"I have no intention of justifying my actions, but if the lives of those who are thinking about how to push themselves to a dead end can save innocent people who hope for peace from suffering misfortune, I think it is very cost-effective. things.”

Yang Sikang's answer once again surprised Nagato. She looked at Yang Sikang in surprise, and Yang Sikang showed a plain smile, took a sip of tea and said:

"Those who don't listen and want to die can just let them die. But in fact, the reason why they can be so radical is because they know very well that their own safety is guaranteed, and it is the soldiers who die, not them. , so they don’t care.”

"But there is no reason for soldiers and civilians to die for them, so it's better to let them die cleanly first."

Yang Sikang put down his tea cup and added:

"I don't want to come to Chong Ying to fight with you next time."

Nagato sighed and did not answer.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a little dull, Belfast added some tea to Nagato at this time.

"Nagato, the root of avoiding sacrifice lies in decision-making. A wrong decision will affect a wider range than the casualties caused by ten terrorist attacks. And hesitation is an absolute taboo during decision-making."

Yang Sikang looked at Nagato and said, and Nagato hesitated for a moment and sighed:

"I also know this truth. It's just that in order to achieve a certain goal, other aspects must be sacrificed..."

Yang Sikang frowned.

Nagato is kind, but her kindness is not entirely a good thing for her position.

If you worry too much and want too much, you will end up with nothing. Instead, you will get nothing.

Yang Sikang himself experienced such a result, and the cost for him to wake up was very high.

From the perspective of the game plot, Nagato is also the same in this regard.

Even with the birth of the New Sakura Alliance and the internal division of Sakura into two, in fact, the New Sakura Alliance headed by Nagato has not done much that is of practical significance in his opinion.

The problem of indecisiveness stems from Nagato's kindness, but it also makes Shigesakura, whom she wants to protect, go further and further down the road of madness, and makes Akagi easily lose control under the instigation of Siren.

Although Akagi looked like a winner who had successfully deceived Nagato, the others, and the Siren, as a bystander, Yang Sikang knew that the result was far from simple.

But it is neither practical nor reasonable to change Nagato. As a kind person, let her stay kind.

"Now that we're talking about these things, why don't we just talk about them. Nagato, do you think the situation on your side is the same as the situation you want before I come to Chongsakura?"

"This, this..."

"It's okay if you don't have a good answer. I'll help you."

"Although I was invited by Akagi, the things I encountered when I came to Chongsakura were basically the work of Akagi. After that, during the operations arranged by Akagi, we encountered the sirens. The reason for the ambush must be known to you.”

Nagato nodded slightly, and Yang Sikang continued:

"In order to protect your country, it doesn't matter even if you use any means. To be honest, I don't hate this concept. After all, I am almost that kind of person now. But I also know the problems that Shige Sakura faces, so I don't care about these things. "

"However, these are all choices made in pursuit of possibilities based on the lack of options. Whether it is leaving Azur Lane and joining the Red Axis, or seeking cooperation with the Sirens, these should be means. It should only be a means.”

When Yang Sikang said this, he chuckled:

"But have you ever thought about it, if you were a siren, how could you get Akagi, the person in power who is now Shigesakura's face, to side with you in the simplest and most effective way? Nagato?"

Nagato opened his mouth silently, but still did not answer.

But the topic has reached this point, how could Yang Sikang stop here?

"The answer is, Amagi. Just like this shrine, like this tree... and the one buried under it."

"You actually know this..."

"I know a lot of things, and maybe a lot more than you imagine, Nagato."

Yang Sikang interrupted Nagato's words and said a little more seriously:

“If you can’t find a solution internally, how about trying other options?”

Nagato is not stupid, she knows what Yang Sikang is talking about.

"Didn't you already reach an agreement with Akagi?"

"But I can't stay here forever, just like now. I will return to White Eagle in a month, and it is not certain when Amagi will be awakened, or when I will come to Chongying next time."

"Then what's the use of saying all this?"

"Of course it's useful. At least when I need to come here, I have to have a legitimate reason to save me some trouble, right? I'm an outsider, and helping and taking advantage of others are completely different."

Nagato was stunned for a moment:

"Do you think Akagi might do something harmful to Shige Sakura?"

"Not necessarily, but it is indeed possible. That's why I came to Chongying at this time, and because I'm here, you have a choice now."

"Although you do have great potential, and I am sure of your belief. But I'm sorry..."

Nagato took a deep breath to adjust his emotions and shook his head:
