Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 1085: Radical 'Cooperation' Plan

After Yang Sikang recovered and was discharged from the hospital, some things naturally needed to be dealt with quickly, and besides himself, some people were already waiting impatiently.

So, Yang Sikang brought Yorktown, Yuanchou, Garden and Shangri-La to a meeting room in Scapa Flow.

Here, Elizabeth, Warspite, Glory, George V, Prince of Wales and others were on high alert, and next to them, Prince Eugene, although surrounded by them, was still chatting with Z2 as if nothing had happened.

Although the two sides were not at the point of drawing swords, the atmosphere was quite dull. Judging from the performance of the royal family, it was obvious that even though the Iron Blood only sent a heavy cruiser such as Prinz Eugen and Z2 and a destroyer, they were still worried.

When Yang Sikang came in, everyone looked over. He temporarily ignored Prince Eugen's gaze and looked at Queen Elizabeth first.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Your Majesty. Thank you for the supplies and information you have provided us recently."

Elizabeth glanced at Prince Eugen, smiled proudly, puffed out her chest and looked at Yang Sikang:

"This is what you deserve, just accept it calmly. I will not treat those who have made contributions unfairly."

"Oh, Her Majesty the Queen is really generous."

Prince Eugen's voice made Elizabeth unhappy. She turned to look at Prince Eugen and said:

"Don't go too far, Eugen. I'm only providing you with a temporary berth and supplies because you came to support the battle, but don't forget who you are. When the matter is over, leave my sea area as soon as possible and return to your own territory!"

"We finally got out here, wouldn't it be a shame to go back like this? Besides, if the royal family is so generous, just let us stay a little longer."

Just as Elizabeth was about to speak, Yang Sikang said:

"I am the one who found Tiexue. If Your Majesty the Queen has any dissatisfaction, you may as well tell me."

He sat down next to him, and then asked several ship girls to sit behind him. Elizabeth didn't expect him to stand up at this time, but although she was surprised, Elizabeth also asked:

"So, why is Commander Yang connected to Iron Blood, and why did you call them here?"

Yang Sikang ignored Elizabeth's gaze and answered casually:

"There are two reasons for sending the Iron Blood Fleet here. One is to be prepared for any eventuality. After all, although this is the royal anchorage and we have made sufficient preparations, no matter how well prepared we are, it is not excessive in the face of an opponent like Richard the Good.

In fact, as far as I know, the appearance of the Iron Fleet and its participation in the battle has reduced the pressure on the Scapa Flow anchorage, hasn't it?"

"But even without them, the Royal Navy was still able to defend Scapa Flow. Although the Iron Fleet provided assistance, it did not play any role in changing the situation. There was no difference in the outcome."

"You also said that this is from the perspective of the results. Before the incident, all I did was to make all the preparations I could, that's all. I believe in the ability of the Royal Family, but I will not give up the more adequate preparations I should have made just because I believe in the ability of the Royal Family."

Yang Sikang replied with a smile. He looked directly into Elizabeth's eyes and said word by word:

"I left my own development dock alone and brought all my fleet members to the Royal. I don't want to gamble on any possibility."

Elizabeth opened her mouth but swallowed her words.

She looked at Prince Eugen unhappily, and Yang Sikang said again:

"You don't have to worry. I will pay for the Iron Blood Fleet's trip. The royal family doesn't need to pay any price. I believe you can accept this, Prince Eugen, right?"

"of course."

Prince Eugen answered without hesitation. Elizabeth frowned slightly. She had a bad feeling.

"As for why I am connected to the Iron Blood Fleet, I think the Royal Family should know what happened when I was in the Sakura Empire, right?"

Yang Sikang smiled and said:

"Is it strange that I have a connection with Iron Blood?"

During Yang Sikang's stay in Sakura Empire, Prince Eugen personally led a team to Sakura Empire and sent him a gift. No faction in Azur Lane was unaware of this.

However, because Yang Sikang never showed any connection with Tiexue after that, he was naturally forgotten over time.

"You may be wondering, since I have kept my connection with Iron Blood hidden for so long, why did I reveal it so openly this time?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several people from the royal family looked over, and Yang Sikang smiled and said:

“The answer is, because I don’t care now.”

The royal family members were a little surprised, but Guanghua and the Prince of Wales, who knew him best, seemed to have thought of something.

Yang Sikang said calmly:

"The situation is different now. The Sirens are getting stronger, and you should understand what the appearance of Good Richard and those corroded ships means. Under such circumstances, as the first target, I have no interest in participating in your political struggle.

If I don't improve my own combat power as much as possible, then it won't be strange if I die at sea one day. I will use all the helpers I can, and I won't refuse those who are willing to cooperate with me.

I know you have grudges against Iron Blood and the Red Axis, but I am not interested in caring about that."

Yang Sikang looked at Elizabeth and continued:

"You can't be unaware of the threat posed by Good Richard and his fleet of agents. Even in Donghuang, the sneak infiltration of those things caused Donghuang to lose an island. For Donghuang, their family is big and powerful, and the loss of an artificial island is not small, but it is still acceptable. It hurts a bit, but the wound is not fatal.

But what about you, Her Majesty Elizabeth? Suppose those things quietly appeared on the royal territory one day, can the royal family afford the losses caused by those things? "

"The Royal Family will not allow that kind of threat to occur, so your question is meaningless."

War-weary said, and Yang Sikang smiled, nodded and then said:

"Okay, then let's change the topic. The Royal Navy must be very clear about the entire process of the modernization of the Grudge. The transformation of the Unicorn and the Royal Ark has also been completed long ago. So, may I ask how much progress the Royal Navy has made in ship transformation?"

No one in the royal family answered. Yang Sikang chuckled. This was all within his expectations.

"The cooperation between you and me must be promoted. But just like I am still working with you on the premise that I have already taken root in White Eagle. For me, how to get the biggest and most help in the shortest time is the most important. Even if it is just for survival, I must do this.

I think I said that a long time ago.”

Yang Sikang looked at War-weary and then at the Royal Navy girls beside him, and solemnly repeated what he had said a long time ago:

"I have the same trust in all the ship girls, both in Azur Lane and in Crimson Axis."
