Commander, you smell so good.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Akagi continued to laugh and refused with a regretful tone:

"I'm very sorry~ Everyone, the commander is not in the castle tower right now. After all, he is the commander, and he is busy with work and cannot see you. After all, there are still many younger generations who need his comfort~"

"Oh, now I remember. I left for something with Master Musashi, so it's been a little difficult to get in touch with him. I'm so sorry~"

Although they used words of apology, their tone seemed somewhat cheerful, as if they were not speaking to the ship girls of Azur Lane, but to their own ship girls of Crimson Axis.

Obviously, after Akagi said this, Veneto and others showed dissatisfaction, but she knew why Akagi did this.

Is it nothing more than wanting to take advantage of this meeting to give them a hard time? To retaliate against them for sending ship girls to exploit them... To protect the commander, this Akagi is really petty, she doesn't even realize what time it is now.

Upon learning that they could not meet and talk, Yixian shook her head with a somewhat lost expression. After all, they came here to split, not to seek peace and negotiate.

As a result, the topic got stuck.

Seeing that the discussion could not go on, Elizabeth began to get anxious, because she really didn't want them to split up. This was not only to fulfill the agreement to protect humans, but also a matter of mutual dependence.

It would be fine if they cooperated with the Sirens to cause a split, because even with the Sirens' assistance, they would not be that strong, and the Sirens would not really help the KanColles.

However, there is a serious problem. The founder of the Red Axis, their commander, Jiang Zheng, has the ability to awaken shipgirls endlessly! And it is said that the awakening probability is basically 100%!

If only they were united, Elizabeth believed that her Royal Navy fleet would be invincible.

However, because of the presence of their commander, ship girls far surpassed the current world level and were awakened, and even a level that could disrupt the celestial phenomena appeared.

How to fight this? Even if Neptune can temporarily control the sea water in an area, the attack from the sky to the ground is always high-dimensional, just like a rifle against the MK6 naval gun, it's a head-on attack!

Although Elizabeth herself can awaken her loyal subjects, the probability is too low, and it is considered good luck if it happens once in ten times.

It is said that comparison makes one feel dreadful. Thinking about this, Jiang Zheng is really too lucky to be on the Red Axis side. It makes one feel sad.

For a moment, Elizabeth began to think about what to do, and Saratoga was also thinking about how to deal with it.

It cannot be divided! It can be divided! Fighting a civil war is always a kind of dependence, which is not worth the loss.

Seeing that they had nothing to say, Veneto, Bismarck and others, even Richelieu who had remained silent, all smiled.

The Soviet Alliance guessed correctly. In addition to wanting more maritime rights, the more important thing was the difference in ideas.

As for what the disagreement is, it is even simpler. That is, they become Jiang Zheng's ship girls, live together where he is, and obey any of his orders.

As for why they wanted to split from Azur Lane and form a Red Axis, the reason is even simpler.

It was simply that their beloved commander was too philandering!

Especially Veneto and Littorio, they both regretted inviting Prince Eugen and the others. Otherwise, how could they have gone to Iron Blood, Iris, the other world, and even to the Sakura Empire across the ocean?

Originally, there was barely enough for the shipgirls in their faction to share, barely enough to feed themselves, but now the numbers have skyrocketed, with Iron-Blooded Iris joining in, and even the Sakura Empire! These beast-eared creatures have also arrived, and there are too many wolves and too little meat.

So they have to take advantage of the fact that the ship girls of the opposite Azur Lane have not reacted yet and cut them off quickly, so that they can still maintain it, otherwise there will be no drop left!

That’s what the ship girls of Europa think, but Akagi wants to make the Sakura Empire even stronger!

Donghuang is the commander's hometown, and we absolutely cannot make enemies with them, but the Han Dynasty is above them...

Akagi has already imagined all the glorious scenes she will present to her beloved commander in the future.

My great Sakura Empire will surely flourish!

The atmosphere cooled down. Seeing the impending split, Her Majesty the Queen was in such a headache. George V beside her quickly came up with a solution. After getting her consent, he began to speak:

"Everyone, now that the main point of this meeting has been reached, for the sake of our agreement with humanity, for our promised land, and for the fight against the Sirens, the Azure Lane cannot be separated!"

"Without the commander of the Red Axis, we will not accept any oath of separation."

"But for the sake of our peaceful conversation and sincerity, I will declare in the name of King George V, the first ship of the King George V-class battleship and Grand Master of the Order of the British Empire..."

"Let go of some of the maritime rights and send them off sincerely!"

Chapter 312 The Real Difference in Concepts

King George V's words shocked the ship girls present. They did not expect that the royal family, which had always been strong and domineering, would choose to bleed and cut flesh.

But then they began to realize that this was an open conspiracy.

If the other party accepts, who will accept it? The Sardinian Empire? The Iron-Blooded Principality? Or the Iris Theocracy?

After all, whoever accepts this will have the final say. At that time, will anyone in the three opposing camps really spit out the meat they have eaten?

It's very rare.

Moreover, each flagship felt that George V had not finished speaking and there was something more to come.

Sure enough, after she looked around, George V continued:

"We can discuss interests, and we can also reconcile ideological differences. However, before that, Azur Lane cannot be separated. We need to have a thorough discussion with the commander of your Red Axis."

It tastes just right, it tastes just right, worthy of being the royal George V, the flavor is here.

If you want sea power, you can give it to me, but after you give it to me, we have to have a serious discussion about it.

If he were just an ordinary person, King George V would have simply satisfied his exorbitant demands or given him a lesson, but Jiang Zheng was not ordinary.

Possessing the ability to absolutely awaken ship girls, she is an absolute hot commodity no matter which camp she is in. She will never be let go. She is the type that all royal relatives and nobles have to stand behind, and she must be fought for.

Just look at the expressions on Yixian and Zhenhai's faces now, they are like people who say the grapes are sour because they can't eat them.

How much did they give you? I'll give you double!

"Sorry, this difference in ideas is a matter of principle and we do not accept it."

"And our cooperation with the Sirens does not mean that we will tear up the agreement with humans."

Veneto shook his head and said that they had never said they wanted to be enemies with humans, they were just cooperating with the Sirens.

As for cooperation, that is the Red Axis's business and has nothing to do with her Sardinian Empire.

But Veneto's words left all factions somewhat bewildered. "The Sirens are the enemy who took away the sea. If you cooperate with them, wouldn't that make you an enemy of humanity?" He actually said something like that.

"So what's your ideological disagreement? Cooperating with the Sirens? Gaining technological support? Or do you simply want to keep your commander hidden from us?"

The more she heard this, the more Zhenhai beside Yixian spoke speculatively, because she found from the beginning to the end that the other party just wanted to create division and separation.

But they just won’t say what their purpose is. Could it be that their purpose is actually for a man?

However, Zhenhai was just joking, and the scene, which should have been serious and anxious, began to freeze, and Veneto and others stopped talking.

After more than ten seconds, the scene completely froze, and Zhenhai, who had originally just smiled lightly, became stiff in expression.

Could it be that... I really was right?

But after more than ten seconds, there was still silence, which made Zhenhai's smile completely unable to hold back.

No, sisters, are you so humble?

"No! Are you serious?!"

Saratoga's face was full of shock. After all this time, it turned out that the separation from Azur Lane was just because of this?

"...Humph, if that's all, then isn't it a complete waste of our time? Just for a man?!"

Compared to them who were shocked, Soviet Rossiya next to the Soviet Alliance couldn't help but speak out, feeling that this was a waste of time and even felt that the purpose of holding this meeting was unnecessary.

Doing this just for a man, are you kidding me?!

"Well, our differences of opinion extend beyond this. Can you accept our commander becoming yours?"

Because the situation began to reverse, Richelieu couldn't help but speak, not to mention whether they could accept Jiang Zheng as their commander.

To be honest, they couldn't quite accept it. After all, as long as the commander was there, the royal family was bound to step down from the position of maritime overlord in Europe. It was only a matter of time.

And most importantly... I won’t take you out to play. There are too many people, so don’t come over!

Now everyone knew about it, and they were shocked and speechless for a moment, but after Richelieu said this, they began to understand.

You say this is not a disagreement, right? Richelieu and others can accept that there is someone above them, and this person is their commander and their lover. Then everyone is a sister, so of course there is no problem if they all agree.

Can you, the royal family, accept this? Just tell me if this is a concept? Just tell me if this is a disagreement.

Richelieu's words reminded them of something, especially Yixian, who realized something after Zhenhai's teasing and gave her a bored expression.

It’s so fun to play.

"Wait! Even if that's the case, it doesn't have to split up, right?!"

Although they knew where the differences lay, Saratoga did not want to split for the sake of peace.

There was no way. Saratoga herself knew that the times had changed. It was no longer the situation led by her White Eagle and the Royal Family. The situation had reversed.

After all, according to the intelligence, the White Eagles don't have a ship girl as tough as Iron Blood, and Georgia is even less capable of doing so. They simply can't beat her.

What you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get at the negotiating table either.

"That's right! It's impossible for your commander to become my commander. I won't obey anyone. But if he wants, he can be granted the title of Duke."

Elizabeth also found it absurd, but she had to admit that reality was just so absurd and she had to bow her head.

However, it is impossible for him to be her commander, but it is no problem to give him a dukedom, because Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth has the final say!

"Heh, Commander is already a relative of the Sardinian and Iron Blood royal family. The Iris Theocracy has not granted him power due to his special circumstances."

Hearing Elizabeth's words that sounded like alms, Akagi sneered in dissatisfaction and talked about Jiang Zheng's identity. After all, Sardinia and Tiexue had used a trick to keep people, so that the entire fleet was sacrificed.

Richelieu nodded slightly at this. Akagi was indeed right. Because the internal situation of the Iris Theocracy was somewhat special, the royal family was not granted a position.

After all, Louis XVI had already been confused. It was impossible for him to revive the monarchy after the reunion, right?

That's too much hell.

But Jiang Zheng is his lover, and Richelieu has helped him get a position. Although it is just a title, it is unknown how many people's destinations are higher than his.

"As for the commander, he is in the Sakura Empire. He is the husband of Lady Miko. Of course, there is also a place for me by his side, hehe~"

Akagi smiled, which completely confused Elizabeth.

Indeed, compared to this, the title of Duke is really nothing, but...

What are you doing?! What are you doing!

Chapter 313: Azur Lane Officially Breaks Up

"From the sound of your voice, I'm afraid you won't be satisfied until he sits on the throne of the Emperor."

How could Elizabeth not hear the sarcasm in Akagi's tone? She couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark, but she didn't expect Akagi to completely agree with her.

"Ah~, this position is not impossible, but the commander's grace is limited, and it is not enough to cover everyone. It can only cover us, the ship girls, with some difficulty."

"After all, too heavy a burden is not good for the commander's health. As for the important tasks of the two capitals and thirteen provinces, it is better to leave them to subordinates like me."

A foxy smile revealed a hint of pride, and her words made Veneto and Richelieu nod involuntarily.

Indeed, they should just heal their own sea areas. As for managing the affairs of human society, they are really too idle.

Regardless of whether they are willing or not, they wish they could split Jiang Zheng's 24 hours into 72 hours. This time is really not enough!

"Ah"

Elizabeth just snorted coldly and said nothing more. Sitting in that position was nothing more than a mascot, an authority used to maintain orthodoxy. In a sense, it was not as useful as the level of the prime minister. After all, the prime minister was the one who really did things.

"...Okay, okay. Anyway, now I know where your disagreement lies. Since I'm not free today, I, White Eagle, will personally go to the Sakura Empire to formally meet with your commander. If we really can't resolve the issue peacefully, then..."

"This is a notice from White Eagle"

This time, Saratoga showed the temperament of a White Eagle director and formally issued an ultimatum to them.

Since the difference in ideas lies with Jiang Zheng, then we can just go find him.

I want to see what he is thinking. I also want to meet him to see if he is so magical that the flagships of so many camps are hanging their hearts on him.

"The Royal Family too, but it's not me who will go, but the other arranged ship girls." Elizabeth also followed Saratoga's words.

Even if she didn't want to say it now, Saratoga had already spoken, and the Royal Family had no choice but to follow suit.

They are just trying to put pressure on each other with a tough attitude. After all, if they really want to split each other, then they will be enemies.

Even if they are not enemies, it is inevitable that greater friction will arise. Greater friction will naturally mean more confrontations in the future. When small things accumulate into a big one, then...

But unfortunately, things are different now. Hearing the unfriendly tone in their voices, the Soviet Alliance and Yixian felt something was wrong instantly. They were about to speak up to stop Saratoga from adding fuel to the fire. After hearing this, Bismarck did not think about it any further. Saratoga had given them a very good opportunity.

For a moment, Bismarck stood up and faced their pressure, making a decision that should have been made long ago.

"The Iron-Blooded Principality does not accept any form of temptation. Since you are trying to put pressure on us, there is only one result..."

"Wait! Everyone, please calm down!"
