Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

But it's a rare opportunity to take a break, so going out together seems to be a good choice.

After much deliberation, Yang Sikang decided to take this opportunity to let everyone take a break.

Too busy for too long.

"Belfast, you go and inform the others to come back and prepare for the welcome ceremony for the new members. Well, this is a good opportunity to take a break."

"Master, have you decided on the candidate?"

"The selection has already been decided."

Yang Sikang smiled and said:

"By the way, we'll set the venue outside this time. I'll ask Cleveland to help prepare the venue, and let Newcastle prepare the camping equipment."

"Okay, master."

For Cleveland, the fact that Yang Sikang was going to have a new member join was not a big deal. Instead, the fact that Yang Sikang was going camping was very attractive to her.

Yang Sikang has been very busy during this period, and her situation is not much better.

There was a lot to deal with, especially in patrol matters, and in the first few days there were problems every day.

So, she expressed without hesitation that she also wanted to participate in the camping.

Naturally, Yang Sikang had no objection to this, and he also invited Craven, McCall and Enterprise to come along.

Even the companies agreed to participate, but the time was adjusted to after dinner.

They also seemed very interested in which ship girl Yang Sikang was going to build this time.

By the evening, the maids' preparations were complete, and Enterprise, with the help of Belfast, had finished their work and arrived at the construction room.

Compared to a year ago when Yang Sikang came to this place alone in public and spoke to Enterprise on the second floor, he is now surrounded by a group of ship girls, and Enterprise's attitude is completely different from that time.

The prepared gifts were still placed next to each other. This time, the company showed interest in the gifts:

"What have you prepared this time?"

Yang Sikang knew what the company was worried about and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, we won't be making any peripheral products for you this time."

Yes, the company’s peripheral products.

The last gift from Essex was a doll and poster set specially made by Yang Sikang. However, Essex didn’t know that it was customized by Yang Sikang himself, and it was discovered by the company.

Then...

The company's thoughts were exposed, and it immediately pulled its hat embarrassedly.

Due to time constraints, there were not many people in the construction room.

However, perhaps because Yang Sikang was somewhat of a celebrity, after he came here, the number of people in the construction room actually began to increase.

Other commanders may also want to see if his legend can continue.

The construction process went as usual without any accidents.

As the white light gradually subsided, a figure appeared in the special construction machine.

Light grey twin ponytails, lake blue eyes. Her clothing and ship uniform are exactly the same as Essex's, but their temperaments are very different.

Her outfit was a little more open than Essex's. She wore her coat on her shoulders like a shawl, and the front was fastened with something that looked very high-tech.

The extremely short skirt and the black stockings that covered most of the legs revealed her fair skin, which made her look serious on the one hand, but at the same time, there were many eye-catching things if you looked closely.

Essex-class ship number three - Dreadnought (little unlucky guy)

"The Fighting "I" (Fighter) Dreadnought of the Essex class, reporting! Commander, please leave the combat mission to me, I will bring you victory and glory!"

The third ship of the Essex class, the Dreadnought. Like the Essex, it is a short ship of the Essex class. It is a little unlucky guy who likes to fight.

"Welcome to my fleet, Fearless. I am Yang Sikang. The people over here are the managers of this home port, and the people over here are members of our fleet."

"Hello, Commander! I...eh? Sister Essex?! And Independence!"

Fearless was about to say something when he suddenly saw Essex and Independence standing next to the maids.

The prototype of the Dreadnought was also a member of TF58, and when it was founded, it was part of the original six-ship sequence of TF58 along with Essex and Enterprise. The other three ships were Bunker Hill, Yorktown and Saratoga.

However, compared to other Essex-class ships, Fearless stands out in one respect, and has also earned a few unpleasant nicknames, and that is her unlucky attribute.

The most unlucky kid in the Essex class, this is no joke. But this fearless... has some war-crazy attributes.

"By the way, this is a gift for you."

Yang Sikang handed over the gift bag. Wuwei took the gift and opened the bag impatiently.

Before Essex could stop him, Fearless had already taken out the gift.

It was a finely crafted gift box, and when it was opened, there was a crystal ball and a jade token inside.

"This is……"

Wuwei took out the crystal ball and his eyes lit up:

"Is this a Gemini? It's so beautiful!"

The Intrepid loves to observe the stars, and in terms of historical ships, the Intrepid was responsible for the recovery of the return capsules of two manned space programs called 'Project Mercury' and 'Project Gemini'.

Therefore, Yang Sikang prepared this starry sky ball, which contains the Gemini constellation.

The other gift is self-explanatory, a jade pendant. Um, for good luck?

Fearless seemed very happy about such a gift, but Essex immediately started to lecture him. After all, it was more or less impolite to open a gift in public.

Fortunately, Yang Sikang didn't care about these things. After simply calming them down, others also began to greet Wuwei.

Wuwei, who had just arrived, did not feel unfamiliar at all. He seemed to be quite familiar with the place and soon chatted with everyone. Yang Sikang felt helpless as he saw that there seemed to be more and more people coming.

"Alright everyone, the construction of the Commander isn't finished yet, let's talk about it once the new members arrive."

Belfast interrupted the chat at the right time, and the ship girls looked at Yang Sikang, and he put the two Rubik's Cubes into the machine.

The same process, when the white light faded, the crowd watching was in an uproar.

Chapter 127 Shangri-La

There is no need for this ship girl to introduce herself. Her general identity can be clearly understood from her clothes and ship uniform.

The same light grey hair, the same clothing and ship-style uniform, her amber eyes looked very calm once they opened, and the notebook in her hand and the pair of half-frame glasses gave her a scholarly air.

The position of the red tie is just right. Although there is no black stockings wrapped under the short skirt like Fearless, it still has its own unique flavor.

There were several snowflake-shaped hairpins in her hair and a faint smile on her face.

Essex-class ship No. 20 - Shangri-La (Fragrant Dumplings)

The two looked at each other and the ship girl saluted him:

"CV-38, Shangri-La is officially inducted. I have many stories in my notebook that I can share with you, but before that, let's work together to solve the task at hand."

"Welcome, Shangri-La, I'm Yang Sikang from here... Heh, it looks like someone is more eager to introduce you than me."

After a brief self-introduction, Yang Sikang stepped aside.

Essex was a little embarrassed for a moment, but still waved to Shangri-La.

"Essex, and Fearless, it seems our commander is very powerful."

"The people here are from the home port, and so are the seniors from the enterprise, but we can ask the seniors from the enterprise to give us guidance!"

Essex excitedly introduced herself to Shangri-La. Even though she had only arrived a little earlier than Fearless and Shangri-La, she now felt like a senior.

"I heard that some shipgirls of the same class don't call each other sisters, but it seems that the relationship between the same class is still very good anyway."

Yang Sikang said beside Cleveland, and Cleveland nodded and replied seriously:

"After all, we are in the same class. Even if we are not sisters, our relationship will be somewhat different from others. This is not surprising."

"I see."

Yang Sikang nodded seriously:

"So the rumor is that everyone except Cleveland is a solo pusher of Cleveland. Is this actually normal?"

“Huh?! No no no, you, what are you talking about? There’s no such thing!?”

"There's none?"

"No! No matter how you think about it, there's nothing!"

Yang Sikang took out the fifth Rubik's Cube.

"Why don't we just ask?"

Cleveland quickly grabbed Yang Sikang's hand holding the Rubik's Cube and smiled awkwardly:

"Not now, I haven't prepared anything!"

"But I think..."

"No means no!"

Yang Sikang reluctantly put away the Rubik's Cube and shrugged:

"Okay, let's talk about it later."

According to his idea, it would be a good idea to build Montpellier at this time.

As for gifts, with Cleveland standing next to you, what else do you need?

Just like the best gift for Essex is a company that is willing to guide her, for the Cleveland-class ship girls other than Cleveland, the gift can be solved with a Cleveland and a set of Cleveland peripheral products!

Montpellier itself is not weak, and some things are basically already a done deal, so he originally thought it was appropriate to build Montpellier together now.

However, since Cleveland, one of the parties involved, wants to wait a little longer, he also respects Cleveland's opinion.

Who should Montpellier look for guidance after he arrives? Of course, it’s Cleveland!

After waiting for a while, Essex had introduced almost everyone else to Shangri-La and Fearless.

Belfast called them, and a lot of people had gathered there.

The appearance of Fearless and Shangri-La caused quite a stir. Yang Sikang's fleet had two more aircraft carriers added at once, which was a matter of great concern under the current situation.

Enterprise was also very happy about this. There were not many aircraft carriers and ship girls in the port area. The stronger Yang Sikang was, the easier it would be for her to handle many things.

Although her workload will increase temporarily, Yang Sikang will definitely have arrangements as well.

The group did not return to Yang Sikang's original villa. For so many people, the villa was still a bit small.

In comparison, Villa No. 2 in Cleveland is much better, and various furniture has been prepared here. Sheffield will come to clean in his spare time.

Everyone was chatting along the way, and by the time they arrived they had a basic understanding of each other.

The maids were busy preparing tea and serving pre-prepared snacks.

Yang Sikang looked at Wuwei and Shangri-La and said with a smile:

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Yang Sikang. As you can see, I am not from White Eagle, but we are in White Eagle now. I just want to say that I am not from this world. More than a year ago, Cleveland rescued me from the sea and brought me back to this home port.

A year ago, I became the commander, and you all have already gotten to know each other as the ship girls in my current fleet."

"One year..."

Shangri-La muttered softly, looking around.

Enterprise and the others were from the home port, but in her opinion, Yang Sikang's relationship with them seemed a little exaggerated. As for the remaining ship girls, even without the two of them, there were already double digits.

In terms of ship types, apart from battleships and heavy cruisers, there are only missing submarines.

So many ship girls were built in just one year. Shangri-La's mind was working rapidly.

Belfast and her crew were Royal Navy shipgirls, and Yang Sikang's first shipgirl was Javelin. That is to say, before building the aircraft carrier, there was not even a White Eagle shipgirl in Yang Sikang's team.

Shangri-La quickly thought of some possibilities, but looking at Yang Sikang's expression, she did not feel panicked.

"You have just arrived, but the current situation is not very optimistic. So if possible, Shangri-La, I hope you can discuss the daily tasks with Belfast as soon as possible.

I hope you two can share the paperwork, is that ok?"

"No problem, but I'd like to have some time to follow Miss Belfast first and see how she works."

"Belfast."
