Chapter 1123 Saratoga Refuses to Give Up
However, this exercise was also watched by the ship girls on the White Eagle side, and to them, things seemed a little different.
The Essex-class members became even more enthusiastic. They were obviously stationed here for a short period of time waiting for orders, but they inexplicably started to compete with Yang Sikang's fleet, which affected the research progress on Yang Sikang's side.
However, the negotiations between Yorktown and Garden and the NY Command have not yet ended. Several days have passed, and there is still no result. This is really unexpected for him.
"Is Saratoga so tough?"
Yang Sikang finally couldn't help asking York City about these things, and York City nodded helplessly:
"I don't know why, but this time little Gaga's attitude is very firm. She seems to really not want us to study the wreckage."
"In fact, from what I see, she is more concerned about not wanting you, the commander, to do the research."
Garden said:
"The initial negotiations were not difficult, and even went smoothly. But when she learned that you were personally involved in the research, her attitude changed drastically, and for a moment she seemed a little anxious. I don't know what she was worried about."
"Worry?"
Yang Sikang thought about it and smiled softly:
"That means Saratoga already knows something deeper..."
Many possibilities flashed through his mind quickly, but he quickly shook his head.
Things suddenly turned out like this, and it's no longer enough to just guess.
"When is your next negotiation?"
"32 minutes later."
Yorktown replied.
Yang Sikang glanced at the time, turned to Sirius and said:
"Sirius, go tell Belfast to postpone all the work I had planned for the next two hours."
"As you command, my proud master!"
"Half an hour is enough to do some preparation work."
While preparing the materials and thinking about possible problems, half an hour passed quickly.
When the communication was connected, Yang Sikang met Saratoga for the first time through video communication. When Saratoga saw Yang Sikang, she was slightly stunned, but she reacted immediately.
"Hello, Commander Yang Sikang. Speaking of which, this is the first time we meet. Although it's sudden, I'll still introduce myself. I'm Saratoga, the current head of the NY Command."
"Hello, Saratoga."
Yang Sikang greeted him with a smile, feeling lucky that he didn't blurt out any strange names.
"So, it's you, Commander Yang, who's in charge of today's negotiations? Well, it doesn't make any difference to me. And it might be better to tell you directly."
Saratoga adapted very quickly. While sorting out the documents at hand, she took the initiative to speak:
"Well, let me tell you what I think. First of all, the wreckage must be transported to the NY Command. This is not my personal request, but because the wreckage has uncertain dangers. We have confirmed this earlier through special means. However, we cannot disclose the confirmation method."
Saratoga said this and looked at Yorktown, who nodded to indicate that Saratoga did say that, and then Saratoga continued.
"I understand why you want to study those things yourself, Commander Yang. After all, I am very clear about your connection with the QX-306 port. We are also confident in your research ability and scientific research level.
Although I have stressed this many times, I still want to stress it again: I have no doubts about your motives. "
"Then why won't you let us take charge of the research on the wreckage, Saratoga? Excuse me, the results of my one-month research may not be produced in half a year in your institute, right?"
"Yes, you are absolutely right. In fact, I think so too. However, Commander Yang, you cannot ignore an important factor, and that is yourself!"
Saratoga looked at him seriously and said:
"Please don't forget that the place where you were found was the QX-306 port area, and at that time the QX-306 port area had been destroyed. It is uncertain whether you were immersed in the sea water there and suffered some effects that our technology cannot detect.
Normally it's fine, and it doesn't matter if you do other research, but the wreckage of QX-306 has been confirmed to be dangerous, and we can't confirm whether their direct and long-term contact with you will have a negative impact."
"From the headquarters' perspective, every commander needs to be taken seriously. We don't want to sacrifice the life of any commander for research, unless he does something to betray us.
From a personal perspective, Commander Yang, your personal value is very high. Although the wreckage of the QX-306 port area is also very valuable, it would be more trouble than gain if something unexpected happened to you during the research process. "
"There are good reasons."
Yang Sikang realized that Saratoga didn't want him to speak, so he interrupted Saratoga and said:
"But if that's the case, why didn't you, Saratoga, immediately and strongly oppose it at the beginning, but even tended to allow it?"
"Because I didn't expect you to conduct the research yourself."
Saratoga answered without hesitation:
"The key to the problem is not your research, but the contact. There are risks in your direct contact with the debris, and this is the most important thing. Unless you can prove that you have a way to solve their negative impact, I will never agree to let you study those things. This is the most basic bottom line!"
"Then if I prove I can solve it, then I can study it?"
Saratoga was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.
The words have been spoken, and she doesn't want to go back on them.
However, when he heard her say this, Yang Sikang hesitated.
He already knew what dangers lay within the wreckage, but he couldn't really say it out loud.
However, Saratoga clearly has no intention of giving in unless some proof is provided.
The trouble is that Saratoga now has a commanding position: Yang Sikang's personal safety.
She didn't talk about anything else and just stuck to this point. As Yang Sikang's ship girls, Yorktown and Garden couldn't possibly say that they didn't care about Yang Sikang's safety, and in terms of morality, Saratoga was at the top and impeccable.
She didn't care about any personal connections and just insisted on this point. All Yang Sikang could do was prove it.
But...how to prove it?
