Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 900: Traces of Royal Discovery

"So, you couldn't find the commander, so you wanted to stay somewhere quiet for a while?"

Nelson looked at South Dakota with a strange expression and asked seriously.

South Dakota nodded. For her, protecting the commander was her top priority. But now it was a dinner party and it was time for everyone to rest and relax. How could Yang Sikang let South Dakota follow him all the time?

Nelson didn't know what to say, so he just said nothing.

The two of them suddenly fell silent, one didn't know what to say, and the other had no desire to continue chatting at all.

The atmosphere became eerily quiet, and even Nelson was about to get restless when there was a knock on the door, and then it opened.

"Okay, the person is right here."

Kewei first looked around the room, then turned around and made room for the person behind him.

George V stood at the door, looking at Nelson with a smile.

"Come and talk sometime, Nelson."

At the pavilion, after chatting with the two destroyers for a while, War-weary came over, so the chat ended there.

Javelin and Lafite left quickly, and then War-weary came straight to the point and said:

"As for the tour, have you decided on the route?"

"No."

Yang Sikang simply shook his head and replied with a sigh.

"To be honest, there are a lot of places I want to go, and I'm not good at planning. Anyway, I'm a tourist, so I'll just follow your arrangements."

"In the end, you just want to save some trouble, right? What Guanghui said is indeed right. If you wanted to set a fixed route, you would have decided on it long ago."

War-weary shook his head helplessly, then said:

"Things in Belfast have been arranged. His Majesty has agreed to let Belfast go to the location of her prototype ship at an appropriate time. Although His Majesty has given us a lot of time, I still hope you can give us some advance notice if possible. After all, His Majesty cannot be away from Belfast for too long."

"No problem. Thanks for your help."

Yang Sikang said with a smile, and shook his head in disgust.

"It's not a big deal. But are you sure this is okay?"

"Don't worry, there will be no problem."

He has been asked the same question several times, but since he had already decided to do this, he certainly has his own plans.

War-weariness did not persuade him further, and continued:

"As for your matter, many people have already known it due to publicity. This is my personal reminder. You'd better find a way to keep your command ship nearby during the tour. To be honest, I always feel that this tour may be dangerous, so I have applied to His Majesty in advance for the right to mobilize the knights."

War-weary's expression was very serious and he didn't look like he was joking.

Yang Sikang frowned slightly, but nodded.

"Okay, I'll be ready."

Seeing Yan Zhan being so serious, Yang Sikang felt that the royal family might have discovered something.

After all, in the royal style, proactively reminding him in advance that there might be a need for fighting during the tour was already a very serious situation.

"Don't worry too much, I'm just telling you first. After all, we have a lot of cooperation matters, at least in these aspects, we don't have to worry about face issues. Anyway, even if an unexpected situation occurs, we will do our best to ensure your safety. The reason why I mentioned your command ship is mainly to ensure your safety."

"No, you misunderstood. I'm not worried about the tour later. I think since you have discovered some possibilities, why not verify them? If there is a chance, just take the initiative. I think we don't have to defend against the Sirens at the moment."

Yang Sikang’s words were unexpected, and Yan Zhan couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

However, Yang Sikang didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, and he continued:

"It may not be appropriate to say this, but under the current circumstances, I think the threat from the Siren is less than that from the good Richard. Of course, this is partly because the good Richard is obviously more hostile to me personally, so he is more threatening to me. But it is also true that the fleet she has is more difficult to deal with than the Siren's fleet at this stage."

"This tour will definitely take a long time. If we are threatened by the Sirens, it will be easy to deal with. But if we fight with Good Richard, the situation is likely to get out of control, and we can't take the initiative to control it. Therefore, at the very least, we must avoid fighting with the Sirens and Good Richard's agent fleet at the same time."

Yan Zhan also agreed with Yang Sikang's statement, but Yan Zhan immediately said:

"But the Sirens' activity intensity has been very low recently. In addition, our current observations show that the Sirens rarely appear at the same time as Good Richard's fleet. They may not have a cooperative relationship with each other."

“But it’s just a possibility.”

Yang Sikang emphasized:

"We don't know much about Sirens and Good Richard, and it's dangerous to make hasty judgments. Ms. Warspite, I know this may be too risky, but in order to ensure future safety and promote our cooperation, I think it's a good idea to choose a suitable opportunity to take the initiative."

Yang Sikang took a breath and added:

"At this point in time, it is reasonable to mobilize personnel under the pretext of visiting the royal family, and to conduct a surprise operation that no one expected. This is also a beneficial publicity behavior for the royal family, isn't it?"

Yan Zhan frowned slightly, but she still didn't make a decision immediately. After all, Yang Sikang also gave a reason that was equally convincing.

The next morning, Yang Sikang woke up on time.

Yan Zhan's efficiency was very high. After only one night, she had already delivered all the information that Yang Sikang wanted to see early in the morning. The meaning was self-evident.

This information comes from the observations and reports of many different people. In simple terms, it is just an inference based on the screening of scattered intelligence.

Traces suspected to be left by the Siren Fleet were found in the sea not far from the Royal Island, but when the discoverers tried to track them, they were easily thrown off.

Tracking yielded no results, and subsequent observations also showed no anomalies around the target area.

However, the same situation occurred in several different port areas. After scanning their port locations and corresponding information into the computer, Bai Ze completed the entire calculation process for Yang Sikang.

“It’s a very familiar model.”

Yang Sikang took one look and couldn't help laughing, but his eyes became serious.

"Bai Ze, take out that information and compare it."

The comparison picture appeared quickly. After seeing the two reports, Yang Sikang slowly let out a breath.

"Sure enough, they are exactly the same."
