Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 876 Sheffield's Secret Mission

In Royal Port, in Warspite's office.

Warspite, who came here temporarily to work, has also received detailed reports from Glorious and Prince of Wales. Strange ship girls wearing royal-style clothing appeared beside Yang Sikang, and the one who could be confirmed to be a battleship was also using the royal 406mm main gun.

This information, together with some other relevant information, was all summarized by War-weary. Even though War-weary was very experienced, he still frowned when looking at these reports.

"A completely unfamiliar ship that the Glory and Wales don't recognize, and one of them is a battleship. The caliber is 406mm, is it the same as the Nelson and Rodney?"

It is true that the Royal family has a rich history of shipbuilding, but because of this, it is more difficult to infer the identity of the ship girl through these superficial information. In particular, they all know that Yang Sikang has the ability to awaken the ship girls who have existed in history but have not yet appeared in the camp as ship girls, which further increases the possibility.

But based on his intuition, War-weary felt that the answer to this question might not take too long to get.

After all, Yang Sikang had already taken the initiative to let the two people appear and communicate with Guanghui and Wales, proving that he had no intention of hiding their identities all the time.

However, waiting for Yang Sikang to give an answer does not conflict with finding the answer first. Although the relationship between the Royal Family and Yang Sikang is good, after all, this commander has a very dazzling criminal record.

"In summary, I hope to use the power of the headquarters to conduct a preliminary screening to find possible ship girls. In addition, the Prince of Wales said that the ship girl may have a certain connection with her prototype ship in history."

"I understand."

The projection screen showed a girl who looked to be about ten years old, but if there were other people present, they would undoubtedly recognize that this "little girl" was the Royal Battleship Queen Elizabeth.

Elizabeth listened carefully to Warspite's report and said solemnly:

"You can handle the specific matters at your own discretion. You don't need to ask me for permission when it's important. You can make arrangements first. However, I hope to get as detailed a report as possible on what Commander Yang did. As long as we can ensure that this exchange ends successfully, we will be able to defeat those idiots from the White Eagles. Humph, I will make them look bad in the future diplomatic activities!"

"Your Majesty, although it's a good thing that you are so imposing, we are allies after all, so please don't go too far. Please be sure to bring Befa with you when you attend the event. She..."

"You're being long-winded, War-weary! Humph, I'm not a person without sense of propriety. I know how to handle such trivial matters. Of course, I won't ignore Belfa's opinions, so you can continue to work without worry. If there is a chance, even if it costs me some money, I can ask the commander to conduct a detailed inspection of your ship's equipment to confirm whether there are any hidden dangers."

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

"That's enough, Xie Fei's call time is almost up."

The communication ended, and War-weary smiled helplessly as he watched the projection screen disappear.

Although they were on the same class of ships, she was still accustomed to treating herself as a knight, and often addressed Elizabeth as "Your Majesty".

This has nothing to do with status or other factors, it is purely a matter of personal cognition and habit. And Elizabeth has always done an excellent job as queen.

However, this time Elizabeth did seem a little anxious, but there was nothing she could do because the problem lay with her.

War-weary looked at the locked door, stood up and slightly unfolded a part of the ship suit. The strange feeling inside the ship suit immediately came to her, and she couldn't help but frowned.

"As expected, there is a problem inside the ship. However, even the technical department can't confirm the source of the problem. Even if we ask them... Oh, forget it. Anyway, let's take it one step at a time."

After putting away his ship suit, War-weary shook his head helplessly, then turned his attention back to his work.

But the content of the previous communication still concerned her, so her concentration did not last too long.

"Your Majesty seemed to have said just now that Sheffield's communication time is almost up? But, at this point in time, Sheffield should be..."

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door from outside, and this was not a rhythm agreed upon in advance.

Warspite unlocked the door with the button under the desk, then put away a few important documents, replaced them with some unimportant things and said:

"Please come in."

The door opened, and the person standing at the door made War-weary's pupils shrink slightly, but she adjusted herself immediately.

The other party saluted her and said:

"Greetings, Your Highness, the War-weary Prince. I am Sheffield from Commander Yang Sikang's fleet. I have come to submit two documents to you at the request of my master."

On the other side, in the study of the main house of the manor.

Yang Sikang was leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed when he suddenly heard Bai Ze's voice.

"Sheffield's signal was detected, and it was confirmed that the Royal's communications contained references to 'Sheffield'."

Yang Sikang opened his eyes and smiled happily.

"Sure enough, Royal Sheffield was sent out at this time. Haha, although I don't know where she will be sent, but knowing this information can make me feel relieved."

Yang Sikang tried to let Bai Ze eavesdrop on the main communications in the nearby port area. This kind of detection would not cause any impact and the corresponding effect was extremely poor. It could basically only confirm whether there was any communication and the general direction of the communication signal.

But this is enough. After all, he just found out from the test that Warspite seems to be in contact with the royal headquarters.

At this time, who else could Warspite contact the Royal Headquarters directly? Of course, it was Elizabeth!

So, Yang Sikang made a prompt decision and went straight to Sheffield who was cleaning the basement. He handed her two documents that had been prepared in advance and asked her to go find Zhan Yan. After receiving the signal, she should knock on the door and observe Zhan Yan's reaction.

It’s a very simple and rustic approach, but a simple method may not necessarily be ineffective.

After a while, Sheffield came back and came to the study.

"These are what I saw and heard over there just now and what we discussed."

Sheffield recounted all of his previous experiences in detail, and many of the details allowed Yang Sikang to confirm some problems.

Although most of the content is irrelevant, it is his job to sort out the effective content from the ineffective content and utilize it.

"You did a great job, Sheffield. Although I am a little anxious, I infer that your family should be sent out to carry out a secret investigation. So, I have something to entrust to you."

Yang Sikang smiled happily and said:

"At this opportune moment, your identity can do a lot of things."

Although Sheffield still had a blank expression on his face, he saluted briskly in response.

"As you wish, Master."
