Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

Enterprise nodded, glanced at the guy next to him, and said with a smile:

"Then let's wait for Cleveland's report. If there is something, the nature of the matter will be different."

If they simply came to White Eagle, it could be considered smuggling, but with the royal family backing them up, White Eagle would not go too far. But if it was smuggling, and the smuggled items were dangerous, the nature of the matter would be completely different.

No matter how stupid he was, this guy from the royal family knew how disadvantageous it would be for him if the matter was classified as smuggling.

He stood up and quickly left the office.

No one stopped him. After all, this was the port area of ​​White Eagle, and it was impossible for him to escape quietly.

After getting rid of this annoying guy, Qiye stopped the work at hand and looked at Yang Sikang.

"You came here on your own, not just for this, right?"

"Correct."

Yang Sikang smiled:

"I want to do something with that guy."

"How to say?"

Qiye raised her eyebrows. She was somewhat disgusted by the guy who came over talking to himself, but considering her status, she couldn't do anything. But if Yang Sikang could do something, she had no reason to stop him.

"What I just said is true, and I judge that guy may not know that his cargo ship is like that. There is no such structure on the other ship, so I guess he may have been used by someone."

"Since others can use him to cause trouble for us, we can do the same thing."

Yang Sikang pointed to where the man had sat before and said:

"Use him. First find the team that will escort him to the offshore area."

As for what to do after finding that team, Yang Sikang did not say but the company understood.

Nodding, Enterprise said:

"This shouldn't be an easy thing to do. What are you going to do if you don't find it?"

"Then we'll take him. It's already known that there's something wrong with his ship. We don't know what he brought with him, so we can do whatever we want."

"Then he is really unlucky."

“He came to me on his own initiative.”

Yang Sikang shrugged.

It was a bit pitiful that the guy was used, but what did it have to do with him? What the guy did was brainless, and it was almost natural that he was used.

If others can use him to cause trouble for White Eagle, then they can naturally do the same.

That person has some status, which could cause trouble for White Eagle's investigation. But if the matter gets out of hand, the Royal Family will have a headache instead.

Yang Sikang thought very clearly.

The relationship between the White Eagle and the Royal Navy, Azur Lane and the Navy is not good. The White Eagle is directly fighting against them, while the old gentlemen on the Royal Navy side are somewhat reserved and subtle.

But the struggle is not gone, and allowing these things to continue would be extremely disadvantageous to him, a man who cannot please both sides.

On the one hand, he was from another world, and he was obviously Asian. It was an old tradition of the White Eagles, and most of the navy here were naturally hostile to him.

As for the royal side, he is a person without status. Although he now has the identity of a commander, he has no military achievements to back it up.

He was surrounded by a group of royal ship girls, and even a group of maids including Belfast.

The prototype ship of the Chief Maid was still basking in the sun on the Thames. There were countless people in the royal family who wanted to build this Chief Maid, but he, an "incompetent" Asian in the White Eagle, built a Chief Maid, and brought several maids with him.

This was already enough for him to handle carefully, but this time, the Prince of Wales actually took the initiative to come over.

Troubles are piling up, and he doesn't want to stay at home, building, researching, and then be pushed to the forefront and on the verge of collapse for no apparent reason.

He always has to fight for the initiative in everything. Even if he has to fight, he has to be the one who throws the first punch.

Chapter 108 Fishing with a Rod

Essex watched the entire communication between Yang Sikang and the company from the side. She did not interrupt, but listened thoughtfully.

It was not until he was leaving that Essex came to his senses and quickly said a few words to Enterprise.

"Well, Essex."

Seeing Essex come back to his senses, Yang Sikang asked with a smile.

Essex shook his head, looking somewhat unwilling:

“I don’t think I’m very good at these things.”

“Everyone has strengths and weaknesses.”

Yang Sikang said:

"We need to do what I talked to the companies about before. The most important thing is to make sure we can get the stuff in our hands. Before we get the evidence, those plans are just empty talk."

At this point, Yang Sikang smiled and asked:

"Then here comes the problem. Many people knew that I took you out to sea, but they didn't know where I went. But when I came back, my clothes were wet and I hadn't changed them. Cleveland stopped the salvage team that was going to salvage the ship. Then, I took you directly to the company's office, and the royal son quickly ran out in a hurry."

"What's going on?"

Essex still didn't understand what Yang Sikang meant. Sirius beside him didn't understand either, but she just listened and watched calmly without saying anything, with an inexplicable look of reverence on her face.

Yang Sikang sighed softly. Essex was indeed not sharp enough in these aspects. But as he had said to Essex before, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.

"Putting these clues together, it means that I took you to the sea area where the battle took place before, and I found some bad things when I went into the water. I informed the home port about the matter, so Cleveland stopped the salvage team and led his own team to salvage, and that's why the Royal guy ran away. If nothing unexpected happens, he is already looking for someone to try to solve this problem.

So, basically, now, everyone who should know about this has already known about it. And it just so happens that at this point in time, you are staying with me in the port area, Independence is still on the beach, Enterprise is in the office building, and Cleveland is out with a salvage team. "

Yang Sikang sneered:

"If the problem is difficult to solve, then try to solve the person who caused the problem, or divert the conflict. Now is a good time to take action. As long as Cleveland is attacked or she doesn't get anything, everything will be solved. And I discovered earlier that the armor strength of that freighter is not something that Belfast can blow up with a torpedo, so..."

Essex understood and his eyes widened:

"There's a submarine underwater?!"

“It may not be a submarine, but we must be prepared.”

Essex nodded and understood immediately:

"So this is why you asked Sirius to secretly contact Javelin and the others?"

"Yes."

Yang Sikang nodded:

"Sirius has been with me, but you are also here. Compared to an aircraft carrier that can provide support quickly, Sirius will not attract as much attention from those people."

As for the villa area, the entire area has been replaced with new personnel since the attack on Yang Sikang. Not only is it heavily guarded, but no one dares to monitor it because of Independence and Essex.

There had been several drones coming over before, and Yang Sikang ordered Essex to release carrier-based aircraft for high-altitude reconnaissance. When the opponent's drones returned, they were shot into pieces with the carrier-based machine guns, along with the drones and the people on them.

After similar things have happened several times, who would dare to do such stupid things now?

Essex is now following Yang Sikang. It is a big problem whether those people dare to go to the villa area. What's more, if they are discovered, they have to worry about whether Yang Sikang will notice something.

"So, Commander, what can I do?"

Yang Sikang smiled:

"Let's go to Villa No. 2 first."

It wasn't far from the office building to Villa No. 2, and it was even faster with the three of them driving.

Not to mention the defense level of this street, and Villa No. 2... is close to the port.

Although it is a port for guests and does not send out ships, for the ship girl, it is enough as long as it is connected to the sea.

"Essex, you go to that sea area and help them. Later, when Sirius goes to exchange for Independence, she will also come to find you. You two can go together, but don't contact Cleveland and the others. If no one attacks them, then it will be a wasted trip. If someone attacks them, don't let any of them escape."

"But, Commander, there's no one around you like this."

"I have nothing to worry about in Villa No. 2. Even if someone comes to cause trouble for me, there is still a basement here."

Essex hesitated, but nodded.

There was no point in delaying, so Essex chose to trust Yang Sikang's decision.

She left from the backyard of Villa No. 2, found a beach and jumped directly down.

Sirius also left a few minutes later, deployed his ship and went along the coast to look for Independence.

Yang Sikang sat on the sofa in the villa with a slightly gloomy look.

The Independence was on the beach, and there were many people watching. If she left, she would definitely be discovered, and it was far less hidden than Essex. But Yang Sikang wanted Independence to go there as well, because this would put pressure on those who might take action: either take action early or give up. Otherwise, the addition of a light aircraft carrier would be enough to make many people suffer.

But if they take action, that's where the real danger lies: it's not just independence that's coming, it's Essex too!

As for whether those people would take action, Yang Sikang felt that there was a high probability that they would.

Rather than waiting for Cleveland and his team to obtain the evidence and then trying to figure out how to wrap up the matter or conceal the traces, it would be simpler and more effective to directly prevent Cleveland and his team from obtaining the evidence or to make the evidence lose its value as evidence.

So they would most likely take action, either by attacking or trying to secretly sabotage the ship, causing it to suffer secondary damage.

But no matter which method they use, as long as they take action, Yang Sikang has only one goal: to sink them.

If we can get their ship, it will obviously be more powerful evidence than a damaged ship.

This is a very difficult task for a team that mainly relies on salvage, but if Cleveland has five or six more ship girls at once, I wonder if they can handle it?

As for Yang Sikang, he was not completely idle either.

Before Sirius left, he asked Sirius to leave the M16 behind. In addition, he had hidden several guns in the villa before, so after Sirius left, he went to the basement, opened the gun cabinet and put on the bulletproof vest he had taken from Herman earlier.

There is no such thing as too much evidence, and a normal person might not dare to do anything on this street, but right now, in the second half of this street, there happens to be a desperate guy who has a poor brain and is trying all kinds of tricks.

The M16A2 in Yang Sikang's hand is an export model, but because of the limited amount of ammunition, he still chose to use the semi-automatic mode for standby.

There are multiple cameras hidden inside and outside the villa, and the monitoring room is located in the basement.

Yang Sikang sat here, watching the camera capture several dark shadows, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"This fish is really quick to bite the hook."

From this moment on, it no longer mattered whether the royal son knew about the cargo ship.

Chapter 109 Fish! What a big fish!

On the calm sea, a huge recovery ship is anchored here, waiting for the recovery team's report.

After intercepting the salvage team, Cleveland organized his own salvage ships in the port area to come here.

After divers conducted the first wave of inspections deep underwater, they determined that the sunken cargo ship did not sink to the deepest point, but was stuck in the middle by a reef.

From the perspective of recovery, it is difficult but not too difficult. However, the huge gap and the pictures taken by divers in the gap with underwater cameras made Cleveland feel helpless.

The hull of an ordinary cargo ship was actually covered with laminated armor of extremely exaggerated thickness, and inside, as Yang Sikang had said, there was a tightly guarded airtight door.

Further exploration would require going deeper into the ship. For the safety of the divers, Cleveland ordered that an effort be made to move the ship out as intact as possible before conducting further exploration.

It is not easy to salvage a cargo ship in its entirety. Fortunately, the port’s own salvage team has excellent ship displacement, but it still takes a lot of time to complete the task.

Including Cleveland, there are a total of four ship girls here to protect the salvage team.

But while waiting, Cleveland suddenly received a communication request from Newcastle:

"Miss Newcastle? What's the matter?"

"Ms. Cleveland, we are now one nautical mile away from your location. Miss Javelin and Miss Jarvis will be heading to your side next, so please don't act too surprised."

Cleveland raised his eyebrows and replied:

"I understand."

Javelin and Newcastle, they suddenly left the port area and came near them, this must be Yang Sikang's arrangement.

She immediately realized that there might be danger where she was, but she did not warn others immediately.

Newcastle and the others didn't come over immediately, so there shouldn't be any problems for the time being. But Javelin and Jarvis came over.

Cleveland looked towards the water. Could the threat come from underwater?
