Commander, you smell so good.

Now, four people in the reception hall looked at each other and began to talk formally.

"Well, that's all for now, as a greeting. I'm sure you've heard about our prior communication."

"Of course, if there is no advance communication, we will give corresponding warnings."

With his fair fingertips, he pinched the handle of the coffee cup and slowly brought it to his mouth to take a sip. After swallowing the remaining taste in his mouth, Veneto said with a smile.

Although he had been notified in advance, Veneto still felt a little provoked when someone rushed over right after receiving the communication.

But obviously, the person in front of him didn't care.

"Really? I apologize if this offends you."

"I forgive your offense, but please state your purpose simply and directly."

“Of course, that’s why I’m here.”

Prince Eugen put away his frivolous smile, sat up seriously, and began to discuss the previous secret communication.

......

After a brief exchange, Veneto crossed his arms over his chest, frowning.

Even Littorio's signature smile disappeared, replaced by a complicated expression.

Seeing that the two Sardinians were deep in thought, Prince Eugen did not disturb them, but picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip slowly.

Not enough sugar, bitter.

"Haven't you two made up your minds yet? Faced with such a generous invitation, even I might choose to accept it."

After waiting for a long time without receiving a response, Prince Eugen put down the coffee he had just taken a sip of, and spoke with a smile that was slightly playful.

"As you said, the deal is indeed good, but it is a betrayal to Azur Lane."

Veneto frowned and looked at her, unable to help but speak.

Prince Eugen's words moved Veneto somewhat, but despite this, if he betrayed his original alliance and defected from the Azure Lane, he would have to face not only the retaliation of the royal family, but also the blockade from the Northern Alliance and the White Eagles.

Even though the Northern Alliance is short of manpower, it still has to face the Royal Army...

This reminded Veneto of Jiang Zheng's words and made him think twice before acting.

"We will support your country's naval technology upgrades and new equipment, and will also grant you jurisdiction over some straits."

"And what you need is to leave the useless Azur Lane. This is a good deal."

Seeing Veneto's excited look, Prince Eugen's smile became even brighter.

You know, the power of various countries is very tense now, and the alliance of Azur Lane is only a superficial restraint, but who doesn't want to gain greater benefits?

"As you can see, we cannot face the Royals and the White Eagles alone."

"Please rest assured, we are not the only ones on this ship. It is just not convenient to disclose it for the time being."

"As long as you agree"

Hearing that Veneto was about to compromise, Prince Eugen couldn't help but laugh, and the mission was ready to be completed.

Littorio was deep in thought while Littorio continued to savor the almost empty coffee.

There are many things she can say, but after all, she is not the chief flagship, not the one in charge, so it would be boring to say it.

"...This matter is very important, I can't make this decision alone."

Without further thought, Veneto looked at Prince Eugen. Although she was slightly moved, this was not just her own business, even though she was the flagship commanding the Sardinian Empire Navy.

It's all of Sardinia.

"No problem, I believe we can reach a good consensus. In the meantime, please allow us to stay here."

"Of course, Sardinia will not refuse friendly visitors, but please come back here around six in the evening. We will take you to dinner and arrange accommodation."

"Please take a good rest during this period."

After that, Veneto and Littorio left, saying that this matter needed to be discussed.

Watching them leave, although no consensus was reached, Prince Eugen believed that they would accept it because it was very simple.

Think about the glory of Sardinia and their old dreams.

If they had the power to annihilate the enemy, would they still choose simple deterrence?

will not.

Trying not to think about these things, Prince Eugen slowly stretched himself, showing off his graceful curves, and took a deep breath.

"By the way, Z23, are there any fun places in Sardinia? Maybe there's something interesting going on there?"

"I'm sorry, Foreign Minister Prince Eugen, I'm not familiar with Sardinia. I think you should find a local ship girl to learn more about it. I'm not very interested in pizza."

Z23 looked at Prince Eugen, stopped writing and closed the notebook. After thinking quickly, she gave an answer that did not satisfy her.

However, what Prince Eugen was dissatisfied with was not his lack of understanding of her, but her words, so he reached out and pinched her cheeks with both hands and pulled them apart.

With a cheerful expression, he said:

"Don't be so stiff, smile a little, Z23"

"Eugen, you are the one. Don't treat me like a child! Like the Z1 leader!"

Reluctantly slapping her face away, Z23 said unhappily, with a somewhat lost look on his face.

Why do both Eugen and my sister always treat me like a child?

I'm already so mature!

"Isn't this good? And so-called maturity is not only about the mind, but also the body."

After saying that, Prince Eugen straightened his chest. Even in his military uniform, one could tell that his machine was quite large. Compared to the Z23, it still needed to make some progress before it could compete.

At least not now.

Seeing Z23's face gradually turning darker, Prince Eugen laughed and stopped teasing her, otherwise she would be bored in the following time.

"Okay, okay, stop looking so gloomy and don't worry about the so-called itinerary."

"Now, we need to go out for a stroll."

After saying that, Prince Eugen got down from the sofa and planned to find a place to stroll around. There were endless tasks to be done, and only appropriate slacking off would make him happy both physically and mentally.

"Where to go?"

Seeing that Prince Eugen was about to take action, Z23 did not argue with her, but asked her about her next goal. Should she find a place?

"Don't worry, anywhere is fine, but the most important thing is to encounter good things."

"How about a beautiful encounter, for example?"

Prince Eugen raised his hand, placed his index finger on his lips, and a fox-like expression appeared on his face.

Chapter 66 Love at first sight

In the unmanned supermarket, Jiang Zheng was looking at the merchandise on the shelves, selecting the items he needed while thinking about what happened not long ago.

After Veneto and the others talked with Prince Eugen, they hurriedly held a meeting.

It was not a meeting held under the table, but a very serious one. Even his personal maid Marco Polo and the ship girls patrolling at sea were holding an online meeting. You can imagine how important it was.

But Jiang Zheng did not go over. To be precise, the answer to Veneto's question had already been given. Whether the plot could be changed and the world line could be altered depended entirely on them.

The only thing he can do now is to stay by their side and do his job well, which is similar to the effect of a mental placebo.

So Jiang was picking out some delicious snacks and good quality frozen meat from the shelves to make some delicious food for them.

After all, once you become a Roman noble, money is no longer a problem.

When he stretched out his hand and was about to take the mushroom pancake that Empire had liked to eat before, he accidentally touched someone else's hand.

I thought that the ship girl didn't go to the meeting and came to find me, but when I turned around, the person who came was not the ship girl from Sardinia.

"You are..."

"Sorry, you were the first one to see this item, right? But sorry, I already have one."

Noticing his gaze on her, the silver-haired girl curled her lips and put the cookies he had chosen on the cart, then turned her head to look at him.

"You wouldn't mind, would you?"

"No, you two are..."

Jiang Zheng recognized the girl's pretty face, the smug smile on her face, her silver hair tied into two ponytails with mechanical hairpins, and the gray-red military uniform skirt that exposed her side breasts. It took Jiang Zheng less than three seconds to recognize who she was.

Prince Eugen.

And next to her, there was Z23, wearing a beret, with brown hair and a serious expression on his face.

"My name is Prince Eugen, the miracle of the Iron-Blooded Third Reich, Admiral Hipper's Third Ship"

"And the little one next to me is my companion Z23."

Seeing the surprise on his face, Prince Eugen realized that he knew him. After all, there were not many people who could truly see the ship girls, but Prince Eugen still introduced them to him.

"Not a little one, but the eldest sister of the Iron Blood Empire's 1936A destroyer, Z23. Nice to meet you, Mr. Human."

After glancing helplessly at Eugen, Z23 slowly introduced himself to him, his eyes full of curiosity about him.

As he watched, the little face began to turn red, and Jiang Zheng didn't know why.

"Mr. Human... I do have a name. My name is Jiang Zheng. You can just call me by my first name, Prince Eugen and Miss Z23."

Jiang Zheng responded in kind, introduced them, and corrected them.

"Excuse me, Jiang Zheng, but I want to ask, are you still human?"

"Of course, I'm not insulting you. I just want to emphasize one thing. As shipgirls, our bodies emit radiation from the inside out."

"I'm curious, how did you manage to be immune to radiation and live here?"

Prince Eugen smiled, put down his cart and walked up to him, staring at him with great curiosity, with a desire to explore rising in his eyes, wanting to study him carefully.

Moreover, the closer he got, Prince Eugen found that he was unconsciously attracting him, for example...

He smells delicious.

“I think I’m still looking for the answer to this.”

Facing Eugen's curiosity, Jiang Zheng also looked at her because she was also his wedding ship.

before coming here.

"It seems that you haven't found the answer yet, Jiang Zheng. I wonder what you think of the Iron Blood Empire?"

"In fact, our Iron Blood Empire is also very hospitable and welcomes your arrival."

Staring at him carefully, Eugen found the man in front of him more and more charming.

Although he is over 1.7 meters tall, his face shape is not Eurasian, which is different from the iron-blooded traditional men.

But the outfit he was wearing was obviously an imitation of a navy uniform, and you could see the skin hidden under the clothes.

Besides, he was very handsome. Even though he was not particularly satisfied with his face shape, it still gave Eugen the illusion that his heart was being touched. Moreover, his expression just now was very cute.

'A little closer, a little closer...'

With this thought in mind, Eugen approached him gradually with a puzzled look on his face, but was stopped by Z23.

"Eugen, please observe etiquette."

Z23 came in front of the two of them and stretched out his hand to block her path, causing her to suddenly wake up and take a step back.

Thinking of how he had just been seduced, Eugen suddenly smiled sweetly, raised his hand, put his index finger to his lips, and apologized in an embarrassed tone.

"Sorry Jiang Zheng, I don't know what happened just now, I just felt..."

"It's okay, it's not a big deal..."

"I like you"
