Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

"what?"

Enterprise was very annoyed. He turned his head with a frown, and then his eyes suddenly widened.

Belfast was seen holding a folder with one hand, and pulling out a piece of... military compressed biscuit from the gap of the folder with the other hand.

"Wait, wait a minute Belfast!"

"We agreed on this, Miss Enterprise. So, I'll take these with me."

As he spoke, Belfast unequivocally opened the company's drawer and took out pieces of compressed biscuits, nut chocolate, energy drink powder and other items from the interlayers and gaps.

She even pushed the company aside and skillfully searched out the energy bars that were taped together under the desk.

In less than three minutes, Zhenhai was shocked to see Belfast searched the company's desk upside down, and there was a small mountain of high-energy foods piled up on the desk.

There are many shocking aspects, including Belfast being so powerful in front of the Enterprise, Belfast being so skilled in finding these things, and the commander-in-chief of this home port of the Enterprise actually hiding snacks!

"Ms. Enterprise, don't forget that this is part of our agreement. If you break this agreement, I won't help you next time."

Belfast's words directly blocked Enterprise's reluctance. Enterprise could only helplessly watch Belfast take away all her food, and then continue to process the documents as if nothing had happened.

Zhenhai watched the interaction between the two and didn't know what to say anymore.

Helplessly, Zhenhai hesitated for a few minutes with a conflicted look on his face and let out a long sigh.

It's not a clever method, but it is indeed effective.

In the end, Zhenhai had no choice but to say goodbye.

But when she left, both the Enterprise and Belfast could see that she was worried.

The company had no intention of interfering in Yang Sikang's choice.

At the same time, Yang Sikang, who was supposed to be busy with document work in the villa, was receiving a guest: Cleveland.

"You actually ran directly to an area that might be the Mirror Sea. Isn't that too reckless?"

This sentence had been heard for the seventh time in just half an hour. Yang Sikang no longer dared to respond and could only smile helplessly.

"But why are you the only one who was affected after you came out? Isn't this too weird?"

"Maybe it's because I'm the only ordinary person? That sea area itself is very strange, so I'm not too surprised by something like this."

"I don't know. Forget it, let's not talk about this matter for now. I came here today not only to see you, but mainly for the transaction you made with the company. Here, this is the information. And this."

Cleveland threw a bunch of keys over and said casually:

"Villa No. 2 is mine, but I've never lived there. You probably need a safe place to store your things, and that house has a basement."

Yang Sikang looked at Cleveland in surprise, but Cleveland waved his hand indifferently:

"Number 1 belongs to the company, and number 3 belongs to the Goddess of the Hearth and Mavis. So my room should be the safest place for you. Feel free to use it. Just remember to return it to me when you go to the harbor to take up your post."

Yang Sikang stared at the key, but did not take it. Instead, he suddenly said:

"Cleveland, you have helped me so much, I don't know how to repay you. Among your former companions, besides Columbia, who I met last time, are there other Cleveland-class companions?"

"No, why are you asking this suddenly?"

Yang Sikang paused and said with a wicked smile:

"I was wondering, if I built Montpellier, would she be around you every day, given our relationship?"

Cleveland widened his eyes and said quickly:

"Don't do this, you bastard, this is too unfair to Montpellier, right?

Generally speaking, even if they are sister ships, they won’t be too close if they are not under the same commander. We, the ship girls, also have to think about our commanders!"

"Don't talk like I'm a jerk. When it comes to White Eagle light cruisers, your Cleveland class will definitely be given priority, right? There's a Cleveland in front of me, so isn't it normal for me to think of Montpelier?"

"This is just a sophistry. You've never considered building a White Eagle ship, have you?"

“No, I’m thinking about it now.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Cleveland's eyes widened.

Chapter 81 Let the Agents Calm Down

After Yang Sikang briefly explained his general ideas, Cleveland still looked a little confused.

She and Enterprise had previously guessed that Yang Sikang should have the ability to build the White Eagle Ship but had not done so. Now that it has been confirmed, she does not feel happy at all.

"Did you plan those recent shootings?"

Cleveland suddenly asked an irrelevant question, and Yang Sikang couldn't help but be stunned.

"I arranged it."

Yang Sikang readily admitted it:

"And this is just the beginning. Including the few people entrusted by the company, there are probably about thirty people in total."

"so much?"

Cleveland widened his eyes and sighed helplessly:

"And you're going to build the White Eagle ship while those people are being killed. What are you going to do if WBI comes knocking on your door?"

"Then drive them away."

Yang Sikang chuckled and said nonchalantly:

"Belfast told me that the headquarters has already sent the ownership documents of the QX-306 port area and its surrounding areas, right?"

Cleveland's eyes lit up and he nodded:

"Yes. The reasons are complicated, but in the end it is correct.

Although you still have to complete your internship before you can start your assignment, the QX-306 port area will be yours by next week at the latest. I think part of the reason for this is that you handed over the reconstruction to Donghuang."

Cleveland paused, then a look of disgust appeared on his face:

"Those politicians only have their own interests in mind, so when things involve Donghuang, they will always try to do something. It is probably because of this that the ownership of your port area was issued in advance."

"It seems that those people did something in a place we don't know about, but now it seems that I have to thank them?"

Yang Sikang smiled and said:

"They probably didn't expect that Azur Lane would directly hand over the ownership of the port area. According to the regulations, as long as I get the ownership, I will be considered an official commander."

Yang Sikang narrowed his eyes, took out the terminal and was about to contact Belfast, when a contact request from Belfast happened to light up on the terminal.

"It seems like we just happened to collide."

After the communication was connected, Belfast's voice sounded:

"Master, the WBI people just passed through the gate and are heading to the villa area."

"On the way, that means we haven't arrived yet?"

"Yes, we will be at the villa area in about a minute."

"okay, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Sikang's smile became even brighter.

"It's just what I said. Newcastle, get the counterattack and reputation ready, practice bombardment."

"Okay, we're notifying them."

Cleveland looked at Yang Sikang in surprise, and he took a sip of black tea slowly before saying:

"Let's talk about the WBI issue first. They just happened to come to me again. I don't care about them now. On the one hand, it's because I know that the ownership of the port area will be given to me soon, and on the other hand, it's because... I really don't need to care about them that much now."

Under Cleveland's shocked gaze, Newcastle asked very calmly:

"Reputation and counterattack are ready. Do you want to start now?"

"Let's do it."

As the main gun roared from the front yard, Cleveland could only sigh helplessly again.

Although it was a practice shell, the battleship gun's practice shells were also very effective when fired next to a moving car.

The WBI convoy was immediately thrown into chaos. The car in the front was blown away by the shock from behind and barely stopped after emergency braking.

The second car's rear half flew up, and the entire car flipped over and was pushed out sideways.

The third one was the most unlucky. The practice bullet hit the hood directly and dismantled its parts on the spot.

The dense training shells covered all the vehicles from the third one onwards, and in the end only one of the six vehicles was intact and able to operate normally.

"Commander, it's confirmed that we've hit the target! All those vehicles have stopped now!"

Counterattack excitedly reported the situation to Yang Sikang, while Shengwang stayed in the front yard looking in the direction the vehicle was coming from.

"Well, call back the reputation too. There's no need to stare at them. If those people dare to come over again, I can praise them a few words."

"Aren't you afraid that they will become desperate if you do this?"

Although Cleveland said this, she didn't look worried at all. Yang Sikang even thought she looked a little happy.

"I'm not worried at all now. I would be even happier if they were desperate."

The WBI convoy that arrived was almost wiped out before it even entered the villa area. Fortunately, because they were using practice bullets, the WBI vehicles were reliable enough.

Although the vehicles were badly damaged, at least most of the people were still alive.

There were a few people who died in the car, but the other agents didn't dare to say anything.

Not only that, the ship girls in the port area also rushed over very quickly, and they could only flee from the port in shame.

Inside the villa, Cleveland finally felt relieved after receiving the news.

"Those people escaped, but a few died in the car. Someone has already dealt with them."

"Only a few people died? What a pity."

Yang Sikang seemed to be quite regretful about this, but Cleveland did not respond to this, but asked:

“Who are you going to build?”

When asking this question, Cleveland actually already had some guesses in his mind.

Yang Sikang's shortcomings are very obvious, not to mention that he is rushing to build it at this point in time, so he should most likely choose an aircraft carrier.

Sure enough, Yang Sikang said:

"My preference is to choose the Essex-class aircraft carrier, but I don't know if they will respond to me."

Yang Sikang said this and looked at Cleveland's reaction, thinking silently in his heart: If Essex doesn't respond, then just build independence.

Although he thought so, Yang Sikang was not really worried about the Essex problem.

He chose Essex on the one hand because the Dumpling-class was indeed strong, and on the other hand because this home port was under the jurisdiction of the enterprise after all, and he had a pretty good relationship with the enterprise, so Essex must be the easiest to communicate with.

He had already told Enterprise in advance, and Enterprise had agreed to provide guidance to his ship girl in his spare time.

Although he did not tell Enterprise that he was planning to build the Essex, they were both White Eagle aircraft carriers after all, and the Essex was the junior of Enterprise, so what he said at the time was not a lie.

Which Essex can resist the temptation of enterprise?!

Even though Enterprise and Cleveland are not his shipgirls, he will still be staying here for quite a while anyway.

And with such a good relationship, Essex would definitely not be able to resist!

However, the Independence class is also within his consideration.

As a light aircraft carrier, the Independence class was originally a Cleveland class light cruiser, but was later converted into a light aircraft carrier, so it is also called the "Converted Knight".

In the history of the White Eagle, both the Essex class and the Independence class were incorporated into the fast aircraft carrier task force, and the Independence had been operating with the Essex since the beginning of the campaign.

It just so happens that the personnel composition of Yang Sikang's side can barely implement this tactic!

Moreover, the choice of the Essex-class and Independence-class ships at this point in time was also the result of careful consideration.

The reason why the Royal Eagle and Glory were not chosen was not only due to considerations of the current situation, but also because of the gap between the aircraft carriers themselves.

When it comes to aircraft carriers, the White Eagle is indeed much stronger than other camps in this regard, there is no doubt about that.

Let’s use the simplest data for comparison: the number of carrier-based aircraft.

Among the Royal aircraft carriers, Eagle has 25-30 carrier-based aircraft, Glory has 48 carrier-based aircraft, and the first ship of the Glorious class, Mrs. Glorious, has 36 carrier-based aircraft.

As a light aircraft carrier, Independence had 33 carrier-based aircraft, including 24 F6F Hellcat fighters and 9 TBM Avenger torpedo planes.
