Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 1121 A Not-So-Good First Conversation

In the command room, Yang Sikang leaned back in his chair, his personal terminal connected to the control system of the command room, projecting the interface that was on standby.

He has enough confidence in his equipment and is fully confident in his technology.

Otherwise, he would not do such a thing as directly contacting Iron Blood inside the royal stronghold and in the dock not far from Elizabeth.

The moment time jumped to the agreed time, the communication was connected on time.

Yang Sikang opened his eyes, leaned back in his chair, looked at the ship girl on the other end of the terminal, whom he was unilaterally familiar with, and unconsciously put on a gentle smile.

"How does it feel to be awake, Miss Bismarck?"

Bismarck was a little surprised to meet directly through the terminal, but Yang Sikang's familiar tone made her a little confused. However, Bismarck still responded politely:

"Not bad. Although I can't move much, it's much better than being unconscious. You must be the commander Yang Sikang that Eugen has been talking about. I have the impression that this is our first meeting, but it seems that you have known me for a long time?"

"It's a one-sided acquaintance. For almost all the ship girls, I probably get to know them one-sidedly first."

Yang Sikang smiled and replied:

"Let me briefly explain the reason. It's actually because I'm a time traveler."

Yang Sikang shrugged and chuckled:

"This explanation should be simple and clear enough, right?"

“It’s really simple and clear, and quite surprising.”

Bismarck nodded. Although he didn't smile, one could detect a slight change in his tone.

Bismarck examined Yang Sikang, and suddenly remembered something, and said apologetically:

"Oh, I almost forgot to thank you. I sincerely thank you for your help to Iron Blood, and for waking me up and curing U556."

"Haha, the help we provide is for each party to get what they need, so it can't really be considered help. I woke you up because it's not difficult for me, and if there's no one who can take charge of the situation afterwards, I'm afraid the situation of the Iron Blood won't be very good, which is not good for me. As for curing U556, it's just a by-product. In the final analysis, it's because of you guys."

Yang Sikang explained with a smile, and then said:

"We can talk about small talk and politeness later. Anyway, Miss Bismarck should have a lot of free time now, right? I don't think Prince Eugen will give you too much work, so let's talk about small talk later. How about we talk about business first?"

Bismarck nodded and said:

"No problem. So, what can I ask of you, Excellency?"

"I can't say I can give you any advice, I just want to ask you a question out of my personal curiosity."

"Excuse me."

Yang Sikang looked at Bismarck and asked:

"Before you took the initiative to reproduce the Rhine Exercise, did you try to wake up a ship that could temporarily take over the Iron Blood on your behalf and guide the Iron Blood into the next stage of your plan?"

Bismarck's expression did not change at all, and even Yang Sikang did not notice anything unusual.

She shook her head and replied:

"No. I just told Eugen about it."

"Really not?"

Yang Sikang asked again seriously, but Bismarck still gave the same answer.

There was no sign of flaw in her expression, but Yang Sikang's intuition and his understanding of Bismarck told him that the possibility of Bismarck not trying was very low.

Bismarck knew how dangerous it was to choose to walk with the Sirens, and he also knew what path his choice would lead the Iron Blood.

Her sacrifice was not enough to change the entire Iron Blood, so logically speaking, if she wanted to change the path of the Iron Blood, in addition to her own heroic death, she also needed someone with enough fame and ability to lead the Iron Blood on her behalf.

And this person in the beta test field is Frederick the Great!

If this link is missing, then the significance of Bismarck's active participation in recreating the Rheinübung operation and her own death would be greatly reduced. Even Tirpitz or Eugen could not replace her. There is an irreplaceable existence between them.

"Well, have you read my letter, Bismarck?"

"Of course, I have already seen them all. I do know about the thing you mentioned in your letter..."

"You knew the existence of 'that thing', but you didn't prepare for your own death? Are you so confident that you can leave the matter to Prince Eugen?"

"Of course I feel comfortable leaving things to Eugen."

Bismarck's expression remained normal, but after Yang Sikang looked at him carefully, he laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

"nothing."

Yang Sikang shook his head:

"Since you've said it so confidently, Bismarck, that means I don't need to consider anything else. I can just do it according to my own ideas, right?"

Bismarck immediately felt something was wrong, but she still nodded, and Yang Sikang continued:

"Okay, that's all for today. It's not a waste of time to know that my gift has been put to good use. Next time, let's meet again when I build it."

"Hey, Commander Yang, could you please wait a moment?"

Prince Eugen's voice suddenly came, and at the same time she pushed Bismarck's wheelchair away, moved in front of the camera, and looked at Yang Sikang with a smile.

Yang Sikang glanced at Bismarck, who was in shock, then looked at Prince Eugen, and asked with a smile:

"Is Prince Eugen alright?"

"Yes, and it's a very important matter."

Prince Eugen said seriously:

"Commander Yang, the 'she' you just mentioned, if I understand correctly, is it referring to a certain Iron Blood Project Ship?"

"Yes."

Yang Sikang frankly admitted:

"Originally, I wanted to ask Bismarck if he had any backup plan. If so, perhaps we could work together to stabilize the situation of Iron Blood and make its development smoother before Bismarck recovers.

However, since Miss Bismarck has no such considerations, it would be inappropriate for me to do this. So far, our cooperation has been smooth and I don't want to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings. "

After Yang Sikang finished speaking, Bismarck's expression remained normal, as if she had really never thought about this aspect at all.

“We are very interested in this matter!”

Prince Eugen spoke enthusiastically, completely ignoring Bismarck's opinion without hesitation.

Yang Sikang turned his gaze to Bismarck, and his meaning was already very clear, but Prince Eugen waved his hand without hesitation:

"You don't have to care about her opinion. I have the final say in Iron Blood now. She is now the former flagship!"

After saying this, Prince Eugen immediately smiled and said:

"So, let's discuss this, which one are you going to build?"
