Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

"Actually, I'm quite curious. Can Commander Yang really build any ship girl he wants?"

"That's not it."

Yang Sikang shook his head:

“Maybe I just know how to communicate a little better than other people.”

Hearing this, Guanghui seemed even more interested.

But her words were just as jumpy as before.

"Has Commander Yang ever considered building other maids? Or..."

She turned her head and glanced at the Prince of Wales:

"Build the rest of the Knights?"

She naturally noticed the reputation and counterattack, but as a member of the Knights, the Prince of Wales did not express anything.

However, before Yang Sikang could answer Guanghui's words, the Prince of Wales, who had been silent, spoke up instead:

"I think Guanghui's suggestion is a good one."

Yang Sikang frowned slightly.

No, Prince of Wales, where are you from?

"I didn't continue to build other members of the Maid Team because I took into account the needs of my situation at the time and the scenes that the Ship Girls were suitable for. As for the Knight Team, if I had really carried out the relevant construction, I'm afraid you two would not be here today, right?"

Guanghui and the Prince of Wales both looked over at once, and the enterprise next to them also felt that something was wrong.

But Yang Sikang's eyes remained calm, and he said calmly:

"No matter what, I am a human in White Eagle after all, and some ship girls, no matter how suitable they are in terms of ability, are still not suitable for me to build now in terms of status, right?"

The Prince of Wales looked up and said calmly:

"Personally, I don't mind these issues, but whether you are capable of building the members of our Cavaliers is not something I can interfere with."

Guanghui smiled slightly:

"But now, Commander Yang is different, right? In Donghuang's words, things are different now, right?"

"But I don't want to tie myself to the royal family."

Yang Sikang's straightforward words made Guanghui a little overwhelmed. She didn't understand why Yang Sikang, who was polite before, was so straightforward when talking about this issue, but her upbringing prevented her from showing any abnormality.

However, Yang Sikang knew that as someone who often carried out diplomatic missions, Guanghui would definitely be able to keep his emotions to himself. But as long as people have thoughts and psychological activities, they will definitely have micro-expressions.

The same goes for Glory.

"I have heard of the name of the Glorious Class a long time ago, but Miss Glorious is a noble after all, and I think it may be inappropriate for me to speak to her in my current condition. But compared to these things, Miss Glorious should have other more important things to know now, right?"

"Commander Yang is really straightforward."

"I don't like intrigues, and I don't think it's necessary to have so many fake things when communicating with ship girls. After all, our goals are the same."

Guanghui blinked and nodded:

"That's right, then I'll be more straightforward."

She looked at Yang Sikang and became serious:

"Commander Yang Sikang, are you researching ship modification technology and ship equipment improvements?"

Yang Sikang did not answer, but stretched out his hand to the side. Belfast took out a folder, took out two sheets of paper and handed them to him.

The paper was placed on the table, and it turned out to be a copy of the patent certificate.

"The results are already here. As for the sample testing, the Royal Family should have gotten the results, right?"

"Yes, so we were informed of this incident on the way here. I am curious, how did you do it?"

"Since we are talking about this, I also have a question to ask. As far as I know, the Royal Army should also be researching ship modification technology, right? No, I should say that every camp should be researching related content, but if I am not mistaken... the Royal Army should have achieved some results, right?"

"No comment."

"Then I have no comment."

Yang Sikang smiled slightly:

"If you want to talk about these things, you should show some sincerity, right?"

"Commander Yang, do you think that our royal research team is not even as good as you alone?"

"Oh, who knows?"

Yang Sikang took out a pistol and gently placed it on the table.

The weak reaction of the Mind Cube caused Guanghui's face to change suddenly, and the Prince of Wales next to him had a gleam of light in his eyes.

Yang Sikang was always paying attention to their expressions. When he saw this, he immediately said:

"This is a weapon I made myself. No outsiders were involved in the entire process. I wonder if you two are satisfied with it?"

The two of them didn't speak. Yang Sikang leaned back, put his hands together with his fingers, and had a faint smile on his face.

"Besides, from the perspective of transformation technology, Miss Glory and Prince of Wales, you two may not really need it. But the other ship girls may not be the same, right? For example, my Javelin, and the lady behind you, Miss Glory."

Guanghui's expression changed slightly again:

"It seems that Commander Yang also knows something about unicorns?"

Yang Sikang smiled, did not answer, and let Guanghui imagine on his own.

But he knew very well in his heart that, at least until now, although on the surface it seemed that he had the initiative in the topic, in fact, Guanghui had not responded to a single move.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

As expected, professional things should be done by professionals.

Chapter 132 Royal Visit (3)

Although it seems that all his thoughts are useless, Yang Sikang actually has his own ideas.

Sincerity may not necessarily impress talents like Guanghui, but telling the truth about the core things will never go wrong.

He is now quite famous, and the royal fleet basically knew that they would negotiate with him before setting off.

In addition to the contacts received along the way, the information and data about Yang Sikang must have been carefully reviewed by Guanghui and the Prince of Wales on the way.

The most important thing about these smart people is not to treat them as fools.

Many of the things Yang Sikang had done could not be concealed, and telling lies would only expose himself more.

And Guanghui's behavior during the conversation also clearly showed that Yang Sikang was right to do so:

Guanghui adopted the strategy of not discussing in depth all the things he brought up. After a few words, he would change the subject without warning, with no regular pattern at all.

Such a conversation seems to be nonsensical, but if Yang Sikang's answer was made up on the spot, it would be easy to reveal flaws in such a fast-paced topic switching, and then be caught.

But Yang Sikang did not tell the truth in everything he said. He also concealed many details, and did not mention those details that the royal family might not know.

But Guanghui's way of communicating by switching topics, although a little strange, is very effective.

Before Yang Sikang even had time to set the trap, others had already changed the topic.

There's no way to continue this conversation!

But he had to continue with this topic, no matter how Guanghui changed the subject.

On the one hand, he had a need. On the other hand, the other party was a visiting diplomat.

The two sides talked for a while, but there was still no substantial progress.

Although Guanghui no longer changed the subject frequently, he still chose to avoid the important issues when talking about everything.

After some exchanges, Yang Sikang felt a little irritable.

Guanghui's probing was too cautious, which made him feel a little troubled.

Guanghui couldn't possibly not know that this was not a good idea, but Yang Sikang didn't intend to do as she wished.

"Since the royal family has so many concerns, why don't we try another solution?"

Yang Sikang's words interrupted Guanghui's speech, but also made her look interested.

Seeing that several people were looking at him, Yang Sikang turned and looked towards Shangri-La.

"Then let me take care of the rest."

Shangri-La spoke, and Guanghui looked slightly surprised.

"I'm the Shangri-La of the Essex class."

As a diplomat, Glory was naturally aware of Shangri-La, the ship girl. But it was precisely because of this that she was surprised:

"Is Miss Shangri-La the ship girl of this Commander Yang?"

"Yes, although I am now temporarily serving as the secretary of the Enterprise Commander-in-Chief, I am first and foremost the Commander's ship girl."

Guanghui looked at Shangri-La, then looked at Belfast who was still silent beside him, and sighed softly:

"Okay, let's get to the point. Commander Yang, the Royal Family is interested in the transformation technology you have. What are your plans?"

"We hope to have equal cooperation with the royal side."

Shangri-La responded to Guanghui's question on behalf of Yang Sikang:

"We can guarantee the progress of the research, but we hope to get the royal assistance in experimental testing and data collection. Any results of the research will be jointly signed by both parties."

Guanghui looked at Shangri-La and shook his head:

"This is not very suitable for cooperation. After all, Commander Yang is only conducting research alone, no matter how capable he is. We cannot entrust such an important matter to one person. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the loss will be unacceptable."

"More people does not mean faster research progress. I think my commander has proven this. And, objectively speaking, sharing research data will not affect the Royal Family's continued research. How can there be any loss?"

"The research content and experimental data of ship transformation are of extraordinary value in themselves."

"But those are not things that cannot be replicated. And if we want to cooperate, I can't just let my commander make the effort unilaterally, right? That wouldn't be called cooperation."

"Commander Yang can enjoy the fruits of transformation technology first, isn't that great?"

"We are also conducting research ourselves. The purpose of discussing cooperation with the royal family is to speed up our research progress, Miss Glory."

Shangri-La looked at Guanghui calmly, smiled and said something unkind:

"We trust our commander's scientific research ability, not the royal researchers. Moreover, the royal nobles have not yet been explained."

Only then did Guanghui remember this matter that had almost been forgotten.

Before this, the matter caused by the royal nobleman had not been dealt with properly.

Although both parties basically handled the matter coldly and gradually downplayed it in the end, for Yang Sikang, the person involved, the matter ended up in nothing.

Originally, this matter should have nothing to do with the KanColle, but the problem is that this matter has never been dealt with.

The research done by the Royal Family can't be done by all the KanColles, right?

As for commanders, how many people are there who can both do their own research and serve as commanders?

And even if the trouble caused by the noble later could be dealt with coldly, what about the fact that Yang Sikang went to rescue that person at that time?

If he committed a crime, you should give him a punishment, right? If he was treated coldly, he was a noble, so I saved him, so I should show some appreciation, right?

Shangri-La’s meaning was very clear, and Guanghui naturally refused to accept this move.

She definitely knew what the situation was with that royal noble, but under the premise that White Eagle and the royal family had reached a consensus, she certainly would not be willing to bear additional losses for no reason.

However, it is impossible to force Yang Sikang to compromise. The royal family values ​​their reputation and cannot do anything too excessive.

But if you want to trick Yang Sikang, it won't be easy with Shangri-La and Belfast present.

Guanghui glanced at the Prince of Wales beside him and sighed inwardly.

The earlier the contact is made, the greater the initiative the royal family will have.

I'm afraid this visit won't be able to achieve the results that those people in this department expected.

She had no idea why the Prince of Wales came with her, but now she felt that perhaps she could find a breakthrough from this aspect.

After much deliberation, Guanghui made a decision.

"It's not impossible if we want to cooperate on an equal footing, but..."

Guanghui looked at Yang Sikang:
