Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 1068: Shadow of Scapa Flow (14)

Just a few hours later, all the gifts sent by Yang Sikang were opened. As Yingxiong said, except for some additional equipment that were obviously tailored for the fixed weapons in the Scapa Flow anchorage, most of the other things were ship equipment.

There was no need for even a trial. Yang Sikang was well-known, and war was imminent. Was there any need to think about the purpose of his sending such a batch of gifts?

However, even Yang Sikang did not expect that the few people in the royal family who knew his style did not remind others at all, and the other people in the royal family... really treated his gift as an ordinary gift!

The gift given by Yang Sikang may not change the reality that the enemy is stronger than their side, but there is no doubt that the ship equipment from Yang Sikang will definitely be more powerful than the conventional ship equipment they are currently using. In such a battlefield, any improvement in combat power may change the outcome!

There was no need for the Duke of York to give special orders at this time. The ship girls quickly took their own appropriate equipment according to the type of ship and the applicable type. At this time, Gloucester came over:

"Your Highness, the Duke of York, here is a gift for a King George V-class battleship."

"Oh?"

The Duke of York became interested and accepted the heavy gift from Gloucester with great enthusiasm.

After opening it, the Duke of York raised his eyebrows, then laughed happily.

"Haha, it seems that although your majesty's plan is very detailed, Commander Yang is also a person who can see through it."

A complete set of battleships requires main and secondary guns, anti-aircraft guns, and even equipment as well as various types of ammunition, all of which are carefully prepared in detail.

In addition, she noticed a small metal box inside.

"Gloucester, go check on the others' preparations. These ship equipment are of universal type. Don't waste time fighting over them."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After Gloucester left, the Duke of York picked up the metal box, fiddled with it for a few times, and the metal box opened easily.

Inside was a strange device containing a Mind Cube, and a letter was placed next to it.

After taking out the letter and reading the beginning, the Duke of York was stunned, and then quickly read the rest.

After a long silence, the Duke of York smiled softly:

"He's really well prepared. He's even so worried about me. Haha, hahaha..."

The Duke of York's originally happy mood suddenly turned gloomy. This kind of thing of being worried about her incompetence was unprecedented for her.

Although the letter left by Yang Sikang did not contain such meaning, in her opinion, Yang Sikang stuffed such a letter in the gift left for King George V. Doesn't this mean that he is not confident in their abilities?

And the one in charge of the command here now is the Duke of York. To round it off, isn't this tantamount to questioning her!

The Duke of York became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, and had already put aside the contents of the letter left by Yang Sikang.

When Gloucester came back, before she could report, she saw the Duke of York with an angry face and was stunned.

The Duke of York was very happy when she went there, so why was she so angry when she came back?

"Is the fleet ready?"

"The attacking and defending teams have been arranged, and the heavy artillery has been sent to Abercrombie and her team for replacement. The overall defense strength of the anchorage has been significantly improved. Even if we don't return on time, there will be no safety issues."

"Very good, then pass on the rest of the orders and prepare for battle!"

"Yes! Also, Your Highness, are you planning to fight in person?"

The Duke of York looked at Gloucester unhappily. Although this maid was capable, Belfast would definitely not ask such a question.

"I am a King George V-class battleship. How can I stay at anchorage and not fight?"

Gloucester didn't think there was anything wrong with it and replied calmly:

"Yes, I understand."

After Gloucester left, the Duke of York looked at the ship equipment in front of him with some displeasure, but still equipped them all.

"Humph, as expected, this kind of ship outfit doesn't have that kind of matching feeling. But, that's it."

At the same time, in the iron-blooded sea, the Purifier came over to the lighthouse again with dissatisfaction.

She was now absolutely certain that Bismarck, a man she didn't know at all and had only met once, was a completely unreasonable and unlistenable guy.

Therefore, after the two met, she immediately took out the so-called "token".

"See! I told you I have a token! This was given to me by that guy. Can you believe me now?"

The so-called token in the Purifier's hand is actually a certificate given by Yang Sikang. After all, both parties have reached a cooperation in the matter of fighting against the good guy Richard due to their common interests. This time in Scapa Flow, Yang Sikang knows that he must take the risk himself, but the Siren cannot get involved openly.

His cooperation with the Siren in dealing with the good guy Richard was carried out secretly behind everyone's back. If it were known, his situation would be over.

Therefore, the Siren could not come to help him directly. And helping the ship girls was not in the interests of the Siren, so the solution Yang Sikang thought of was to ask for help from his former ship girls.

There is no need to worry about their strength or freedom, and the motivation for their actions is extremely clear.

No matter who looks at it, they can't find any problems, because the relationship between Yang Sikang and them is unchangeable and it is obvious.

But it is obvious that the Siren, who is hostile to Yang Sikang, took the initiative to find his former ship girls, and then said that the Siren is now cooperating with him temporarily and asked them for help?

Isn't this just giving away your life?

Bismarck took a look at the token and held out his hand.

The Purifier curled his lips and handed the token to Bismarck.

Bismarck took the little thing and touched it gently a few times. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, but then he calmed down quickly and said without raising his head:

"I know about his temporary cooperation with you."

The Purifier was choked before she could even speak, and her eyes widened immediately:

"You, you knew it and you attacked me! You knew it and you broke my body and you didn't listen to me!!"

Bismarck looked at her as if she were an idiot, carefully put away the things in his hand, and then said:

"Tell me what you plan to do. If it's appropriate, I'll follow your plan. But if it's not appropriate, follow my plan."

Although he was very dissatisfied with Bismarck's attitude and had many things he wanted to complain about, the Purifier still endured it.

After explaining their arrangements in detail, the Purifier expected Bismarck to be surprised and stunned, but Bismarck just nodded calmly.

"I see. Then follow your plan and come back to me when you're ready to act."

After saying that, she immediately turned around and returned to the lighthouse, leaving the Purifier standing alone on the sea.

"What! What's this guy's attitude? Damn it, if it wasn't for that idiot Observer who stopped me from doing it, I would have to show him how powerful this Master Purifier is!"

Before he could finish his words, a cannonball suddenly fired from the lighthouse, hitting the Purifier directly and knocking her out.

However, this shot was not a real shell. Although it was very effective, the damage was not high.

The Purifier got up in a panic and shouted as he walked over:

"You, you just wait! You just wait!!! Damn it!!!"

On the top floor of the lighthouse, Bismarck, who was sitting by the window and watching the Purifier leave while losing his temper, put away his weapon, lowered his head to look at the small toy in his hand, his eyes softened, and the corners of his mouth curled up and he smiled unconsciously.
