Chapter 1052 The Important Scapa Flow
Scapa Flow.
As one of the royal home anchorages, the defense strength of Scapa Flow is much higher than many other places.
For the royal family, one objective fact that cannot be avoided in any way is that their homeland is just an island.
The existence of the Northern Alliance blocked the Siren fleet in the polar waters, so that although the Royal Family still had to face the threat of the Sirens at all times, they did not have to worry about becoming an isolated island on the sea and being surrounded by enemies.
After Iron Blood broke away from Azur Lane, established the Red Axis and began to be hostile to Azur Lane, the value of the anchorage in Scapa Flow increased exponentially.
As a bridgehead to resist and block the Iron Blood, Scapa Flow is not only an important anchorage for the Royal Homeland, but also the shackles that keep the troublesome beast Iron Blood trapped in a cage.
Because of this, Scapa Flow not only has a complete defense system and facilities, but its combat effectiveness is also strong.
With a total combat power second only to that of the Home Fleet, Scapa Flow is highly independent and is composed entirely of ship girls without any assigned commanders. The defense strength of Scapa Flow is far beyond comparison with other places.
Although theoretically, it is almost impossible for the Iron Blood Fleet to bypass the Royal blockade and appear elsewhere under such circumstances, but...
The actual situation is that not only does the Iron Blood fleet occasionally appear in the outside world, but normal commercial ship activities are rarely blocked.
Although it was generally acknowledged that the Iron Bloods had escaped via a detour from other places, how could the garrison fleet itself not know the actual situation?
The main reason for this result is that Azur Lane still hopes to pull back the Red Axis so that everyone can fight against the common threat of Siren together.
Of course, how much willingness the royal family has in this regard is a question, but what is certain is that the Northern Union has a strong desire in this matter.
Therefore, the current situation is basically that the Royal Family turns a blind eye to the normal activities of Iron Blood, and maintains a delicate balance under the current ambiguous situation with few direct conflicts between the two sides, although no one knows how long this balance can last.
But it is precisely because of this situation that the actual available combat power in Scapa Flow is now higher than the original demand - the Royal needs to be prepared to deal with the possibility that the Iron Bloods will suddenly turn against them and take action at any time.
Even in this Scapa Flow anchorage, the fleet size has been increasing significantly and the defense of the anchorage has been strengthened in the past month. The actual blockade of Iron Blood has also become much stricter. At the same time, the vigilance of the ship girls stationed here against the sudden war launched by Iron Blood has also increased.
The reason naturally needs no further explanation. The Royal Queen Elizabeth and the now-renowned Commander Yang Sikang are about to come to this anchorage to meet and stay for a certain period of time.
The most troublesome part is the certain time period, which is so vague that the stationed fleet dare not relax or be careless at all.
At this moment, several maids who had come to the anchorage from the headquarters in advance to make previous arrangements were standing at the port waiting, and behind them, representatives of the local stationed fleet were also here.
The fleet gradually emerged in the distance, and when the ship girls waiting to welcome them began to be on full alert, a black shadow rushed towards the port at an extremely fast speed from the other side. Because the incident happened too suddenly, the garrison fleet was stunned at first, and then several ship girls of the Knights team immediately prepared to go into the water.
But soon, Sheffield from the Maids stopped them.
"Don't be nervous. That ship is exactly the guest we need to welcome this time."
"Guest? That means..."
The battleship HMS Revenge looked over excitedly with shining eyes, but immediately retracted the partially deployed ship equipment.
The ship girls who were ready to fight back returned to their respective positions, and in just a short period of time, the ship had come very close.
According to common sense, the ship that has not yet slowed down looks beautiful, but...
"What a fast speed! No, it's at such a dangerous distance! Will it hit us directly?!"
Revenge, who was quite experienced in collisions, almost screamed. Based on her experience, at such an exaggerated speed, it was impossible for the ship to crash directly into the port!
"Everyone, retreat quickly..."
Revenge quickly called on others to retreat, but at this moment, the ship that had already intruded close suddenly slowed down, and in a completely unreasonable and physical violation of the posture, the speed was reduced to single digits in the blink of an eye, slowly sailed into the port, and stopped perfectly sideways.
"How is this kind of emergency stop possible? This is not scientific at all!"
"Yes, I also think this is a bit unscientific, but our commander said that although it is unscientific, it is very mind cube."
Revenge was stunned at first, then he realized that the other party's voice actually appeared in his communication channel.
At the same time, Sheffield from the maid team in front raised her head and spoke:
"You are all welcome to Scapa Flow, but please be careful as trespassing into the garrison fleet's communications network may be mistaken for an act of aggression at other times."
"Oh, so the communication channel here is actually encrypted? It was connected so easily, I thought it was open~"
On the deck of the Gu Diao, a ship girl jumped down lightly and landed steadily in front of the maid team.
She has blue hair and a familiar maid outfit, but she holds a large trident in her hand. If you look closely, the maid outfit is more similar to Belfast and Edinburgh, but the foot armor and other parts are more like Sheffield.
The ship girl smiled, put away her trident, and saluted in a formal manner:
"I am the Project Ship Neptune. It's our first meeting. I hope you can give me your guidance."
Without waiting for Revenge and the others to respond, Neptune looked around and turned his gaze to Sheffield, the family he was more familiar with:
"Our commander has brought some gifts for you, but because they need to be sorted and counted, it will take a little time. Please be patient and wait for a moment."
The royal fleet was still on the way. Although they were speeding up, rushing forward at a speed of more than 30 knots when they were about to reach the port was simply seeking death. The behavior of the Gu Diao rushing directly into the port at a speed of 40 knots was even more unbelievable.
When the escorting royal fleet entered the port, Yang Sikang also came out of the Gu Diao with the ship girls.
Although he has made many public appearances on social media, this is the first time that these fleets stationed in important areas have seen Yang Sikang.
When they actually saw him, the ship girls here basically had the normal reactions to Yang Sikang, which were surprise, astonishment, and then sighs.
However, Sheffield, a member of the same family, was relatively familiar with Yang Sikang. He handled the troublemaker Neptune with ease and did not allow her to successfully provoke the anger of others. Sheffield successfully held out until Yang Sikang came over.
And soon, the Royal Home Fleet arrived.
