Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

Chapter 70 Co-production

"Zhenhai wants to see me?"

Next to the exercise ground, Yang Sikang asked puzzledly while sitting on a towering observation tower.

Next to him stood Belfast, and about two kilometers ahead of them, Sirius could be seen fighting Sheffield.

The practice bullets have no lethality to the ship girls, but they can produce an effect similar to that of real bullets on the sea.

After all, the battle between ship girls is different from the traditional naval battle. The waves caused by the shells are sometimes also a means of obscuring vision. This is effective for ship girls other than aircraft carriers.

Although the existence of radar certainly cannot achieve the same effect of blocking the vision between ordinary people, it is feasible for Sheffield to use the waves to conceal the turning of her ship's guns.

This is also the biggest advantage of the ship girls in naval battles. They are much more flexible than traditional ships.

It only takes less than a second for a ship to turn its gun barrel, but what about a traditional ship? One second? The gears haven't even started turning yet!

But because of this, some people have raised questions: If the KanColles are so much stronger than the mass-produced ones, what is the point of conducting exercise battles between them?

Do we all have to be commanders and think about killing each other all the time?

This kind of doubt usually occurs in commanders who have participated in few battles or have not participated in large-scale battles, because if they have encountered humanoid sirens, they will not say such things.

It is also necessary to be familiar with the combat styles of other types of ship girls: precisely because of their extremely high maneuverability, it is even more important to avoid accidentally hurting friendly forces!

Sirius surprised Yang Sikang very much, because he always thought that the ability of the ship girl to cut out sword energy was just a way for the anime to present visual effects, but he didn't expect... that sword could really cut out sword energy!

But it’s hard to say whether that thing should be considered sword energy or artillery fire.

But who cares? This thing is cool!

He wants to learn too!

It’s a pity that I can’t learn it!

Thinking of this, he suddenly had another question, so he turned around and asked:

"Belfast, can Warspite's bombardment also be slashed out with a sword like Sirius did, like a sword energy?"

Belfast froze for a moment and looked at Sirius in confusion.

Then she just happened to see Sirius slashing at Sheffield with his sword, chasing him.

She thought about it, Sirius...it seemed that sometimes he really used swords to attack?

"it should be OK."

Belfast replied:

"Ms. Enterprise's carrier-based aircraft also shoot out like a bow and arrow, while Ms. Zhenhai's carrier-based aircraft seem to be like Go pieces when they are launched."

"That's true. Arrows and chess pieces can be transformed into carrier-based aircraft, so it doesn't seem so strange that swords can fire artillery."

He silently said in his heart, "It's worthy of being called the Magic Route", and the corners of Yang Sikang's mouth curled up slightly.

However, Belfast seemed to misunderstand his smile and whispered:

"If you want to build a royal battleship, I think you can start with Miss Vengeance. She always has a good relationship with the destroyers."

"What? No, I was just thinking, doesn't Warspite have a record for the longest artillery strike on a moving target? If such a shot was delivered with a sword, it would be very cool, right?"

Belfast laughed and replied:

"If it's Master War-weary, then it must be possible."

"She is a respectable old lady after all."

The two of them laughed in tacit understanding, but their eyes never left the two people who were practicing fighting.

"It looks like they can fight for a long time."

Yang Sikang was very concerned about the battle between Sirius and Sheffield.

Although this tower is built on the shore, it has a good view due to its height.

And because the vision at sea is not obstructed like on land, the fight between the two can be seen with the naked eye at this distance, which also gives him a better understanding of the fighting style of Sirius and Sheffield.

Both Sirius's sword and Sheffield's pistol were used in ways that surprised him.

However, if the fight continues like this, the next exercise originally scheduled will be in trouble.

Besides, the physical strength of the ship girl is limited.

"Let them stop and rest for a while and then it will be your turn?"

"Yes, I hope you'll be satisfied."

"work hard."

"Yes."

Belfast jumped directly from the tower, while Sirius and Sheffield, who had received the communication and ended the battle, were being checked by Jarvis and Janus to see if they had suffered any damage.

Yang Sikang was the only one left on the tower for the time being, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

“Being able to fire bombardments with a sword, can you also attack in other ways?

Come to think of it, I ignored this question before. There was always a company nearby. No, was it because I always saw the company that I became accustomed to it and ignored this question? "

Yang Sikang took out his personal terminal and wrote all the information on the memo. Then he hesitated for a moment and added a line of notes at the end: When conducting shipbuilding experiments, you can consider manufacturing alien shipbuilding equipment.

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Then a call came through the terminal. Yang Sikang put on the headset and answered it.

Newcastle's voice immediately came from the headset:

"Master, the designated items have all been recovered. What should we do with this cargo ship?"

"Is there something wrong with the boat?"

"No problem, just anchor here. But this place is not far from the patrol route. According to what we learned in advance, a patrol will pass by here in about an hour."

"Is the ship controllable?"

"can."

"Okay, bring the boat over to our side."

"learn."

After hanging up the call, Yang Sikang dialed another number:

"Herman, it's me, Yang Sikang. It's like this, I need to buy a cargo ship from you, yes, the model we agreed on before. It's enough to complete the formalities, yes, that's right."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Sikang laughed again:

"I already have so many shipgirls under my command, and I also have two battlecruisers. It would be reasonable to buy a cargo ship and do some small business, right?"

Yang Sikang turned his head and looked in the direction Belfast had pointed out before.

Unfortunately, he still couldn't see where the ship was at this distance.

A cargo ship, this thing is not outrageous at all compared to his current assets.

What's more, anyone can easily find out that he has a good relationship with the Stocker family, so there will be no problem in using the excuse of discount.

However, if one really wants to find fault, there are plenty of things to nitpick.

But what he wanted was someone to find trouble. After all, if no one came to find trouble, his plan might not be able to proceed smoothly.

Looking at the black dot gradually appearing in the distance, Yang Sikang laughed.

"Everyone in the navy, please don't let me down."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Sikang took out his tablet and checked the video files recorded by the drone. Then he replaced the battery in the drone and flew it out again.

The same process would be repeated during the free time between each exercise of the ship girls. He recorded the content of every exercise of his ship girls in full.

However, Belfast's previous words did remind him, although for now he can still continue like this for a while.

But considering many aspects, if he intends to use this opportunity to take action against those people to completely extricate himself from the risk, then there should be a more decisive force around him.

"My team is currently lacking aircraft carriers and submarines, but the topic of submarines is a bit too sensitive. Aircraft carriers..."

The Glorious class is good, and the Unicorn and Centaur class light aircraft are also very good. Even if it is considered in the long run, there are still aircraft carriers such as the Centaur. The Royal aircraft carrier is not weak, but its identity is a little difficult to deal with.

Moreover, Yang Sikang has always been worried that there will be problems in building the royal aircraft carrier.

This matter has to start with Yang Sikang's construction method. Although to outsiders it seems that he built whatever he wanted at random, this is not the case.

His construction process is actually no different from the normal process. Communication is required during the construction process. Successful communication can awaken the corresponding information in the Rubik's Cube, and then the construction will be successful.

So, if a person’s ideas are particularly in line with a certain ship girl’s, what will happen during the construction?

Chapter 71 The Perfect Assassination Weapon

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

The exercise time requested by Yang Sikang has not yet been used up, and on Hermann's side, the forged itinerary and other information has already been prepared.

Of course, the cargo ship matter had already gone through the normal procedures, and he had even told Cleveland about this matter a few days ago.

It's true that he wanted to use the cargo ship incident as bait, but if the procedure was really improper, then he would be the one who would suffer the loss.

The exercise itself also benefited him a lot, and he had a better understanding of the battles of the ship girls.

In addition, he was an experienced person, so three days was enough for him to fully get into the state.

"That's about it for a personal fight."

Yang Sikang asked with a smile, and Belfast beside him nodded:

"All the targets have been brought here by cargo ship. Do you want to set them up now?"

"Let's set up the exercises. We also need to allocate the exercise time reasonably. We can't just fight alone all the time."

"Then I'll go and help everyone set up the venue."

"Okay, I'll go check out the base first. If there's anything, use the terminal to contact me."

"Sirius is coming with you?"

"Ok."

This is not because they are afraid that Sirius will mess up. After all, it is impossible for her to mess up something like placing targets on the sea.

It’s just that Sirius always wants to be by Yang Sikang’s side, and her fighting ability is strong enough, so when Befa has something to do, she always asks Sirius to protect Yang Sikang.

As the two of them walked toward the interior of the base, Yang Sikang looked at Sirius, who had changed into her original maid outfit because of the battle, and asked:

"Sirius, I remember that most of the royal maids seemed to have long hair, but you and Sheffield have short hair."

"Eh?"

Sirius scratched his hair subconsciously and nodded:

"It seems... to be the case?"

Sirius suddenly stopped, stared at Yang Sikang with wide eyes, then bowed suddenly, scaring him.

Before he could ask, Sirius suddenly said excitedly:

"Do you prefer long hair? If you like long hair, I will grow it long right now. Please wait for a while, my... proud master."

"No, no, no, I don't mean to think that short hair is bad, I just thought of this suddenly and asked casually."

Yang Sikang explained as he helped Sirius up and said helplessly:

"It just occurred to me that Sirius, aren't you and Sheffield both combat maids? And you both happen to have short hair, so I asked casually.

I personally don’t have any particular preferences, so just live your life the way you see fit, understand?”

"Yes, I understand, my proud master."

Sirius nodded seriously, almost taking out a small notebook to write down everything he said.

"By the way, Sirius, can you let me take your sword and try it out?"

"of course can."

Sirius said this as he held up the sword with both hands and handed it to him. Yang Sikang tried to grab the hilt, applying a little force.

It's a bit heavy, but I can still lift it if I use some strength. It should be more convenient if I use both hands.

Thinking of this, Yang Sikang grabbed the hilt of the sword with both hands, adjusted his posture, and raised the sword steadily.
