Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 1035: Unstable Sakura Empire

The royal response to Yang Sikang's proposal came very quickly. Just one day later, War-weary informed Yang Sikang that Elizabeth had agreed to his wish to go to Scapa Flow and agreed to meet there.

Yang Sikang was not surprised by this, but as for the specific time, he said he still needed to think about it.

"After all, a lot has happened recently. The impact of what happened when we cruised to Bermuda and the previous construction is still there. It's easy to think too much if we suddenly go to Scapa Flow at this time. Let's postpone it for a while."

What Yang Sikang said was half true and half false. The part was true because he was concerned about public opinion, but the part was false because he was worried about making people think too much.

For Yang Sikang, what is important is only the thoughts and attitudes of the ship girls. As for other people's thoughts, he would at most just take a quick look at them.

As for public opinion, what he really cares about is the reaction his series of events caused in other places, especially in Sakura Empire.

Although the First Carrier seems to be very quiet, judging from all aspects of the situation, Akagi is still impatient. The completion of the modernization of the fleet and the arrival of Yang Sikang's fleet are naturally like adding fuel to the fire for the current manager of the Sakura Empire.

When she can no longer endure it, the trouble in Sakura Empire will break out.

For him, there are both disadvantages and advantages to something happening in Sakura Empire.

The downside is that he cannot sit idly by if something happens. For him, who wants to bring Sakura Empire directly under his command, leaving Sakura Empire alone when something happens has never been an option.

The upside is that accidents themselves mean opportunities, especially for those ship girls or beings in the Sakura Empire who cannot escape from their own cages. Accidents are equivalent to having a chance for them to break free from their cages.

It's a mixed bag, but for Yang Sikang, it would be better if nothing goes wrong.

"You finally have time to meet with me. It's really hard to contact you now."

As soon as the call was connected, the other party started to tease him. Yang Sikang smiled calmly and responded:

"Shentong, you have a lot to worry about, so we are kind to each other. I have also spent a lot of time and effort on your affairs. I am sure you know the reason why I cannot get in touch with you."

"It's because I know the reason that I sigh. Whether it was then or now, you are really the same in every aspect. But if you don't pay attention to this side occasionally, things might get out of control... maybe not."

"It seems that the loss of control of the Sakura Empire has nothing to do with me, although I am willing to help if I have the ability."

"haha, really?"

Shentong covered his mouth with his fan, but there was a hint of cunning in his eyes:

"I thought I could do something for you in advance, but it seems that I was overthinking it. It's really a pity."

"But it makes sense. I heard that you have made great achievements in the Royal Family and built the ship of the enemy who has not appeared in public but has already gained a reputation, and the ship of a wonderful design. It is helpless for you to look down on the small territory of the Sakura Empire."

Yang Sikang smiled, not caring about Shentong's ridicule, and asked back:

"Your praise surprises me. I wonder what you want to do for me, Shentong? Although I don't know what you expect, I'd be happy to satisfy you if you can tell me. After all, I had to be careful with my words and actions when I was in Sakura Empire. Shentong, you helped me a lot. I'm happy to try what you expect."

"Since you've said so, I want you to come to Sakura Empire again. Are you willing to fulfill my wish?"

Yang Sikang smiled softly and answered without hesitation:

"Of course, although the next arrangement is to meet the Royal Queen Elizabeth, but maybe it can be postponed after some communication."

Shentong also smiled:

"I was just joking. If I delay your important matter, I will be guilty of a thousand crimes. Haha, I appreciate your thoughtfulness. But if you don't pay attention to some things occasionally, your out-of-control words are not groundless."

Yang Sikang had a smile on his face, and he knew very well what the supernatural power meant.

The First Air Fleet had a very high reputation and voice in the Sakura Empire, and it had been a long time since he had done anything to keep Akagi in peace.

What's more, the more time goes by, the less patient Akagi becomes. Shentong can emphasize his words over and over again, so the situation is probably much more serious than she said.

But these things can't be solved just because he wants to. The root of Akagi's problem lies in his heart, and what he can do...

"Next time if there's a chance, Shentong, can you ask Akagi a question for me?"

"Please say."

"Ask her if she still remembers what Tiancheng's physical condition was like back then?"

Shentong frowned slightly, and Yang Sikang said:

"In fact, I now have enough conditions to revive Amagi, but there is a difference between reviving and resurrecting."

Yang Sikang said:

"It's easy for me to revive Amagi in her original physical condition. I can do it anytime if she wants. But is that enough?"

Shentong hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly:

"I understand what you mean. I will convey your words to you."

"All I need is time. She has a short patience, but you can go look for Kaga."

Yang Sikang said:

"Shentong, try to keep the communication open during this period. I may contact you in a few days. My words can only help her recover for a few days at most, but since she can't sit still anymore, let her go out for a walk."

"Okay, I'll remember what you said."

Shentong nodded seriously, then asked:

"Commander Yang, I also have a personal question for you."

"Ask me, and I'll try to answer."

"Can you build a project ship for each faction?"

Yang Sikang smiled slightly and said:

"Yes or no, does it make sense for me to answer you now? Time and facts will prove everything."

"Haha~ Then I'll be looking forward to it."

Shentong's eyes changed slightly:

"May your military fortune flourish."

After the call ended, Yang Sikang rubbed his eyes and relaxed.

Dealing with supernatural powers is a hassle, even if it's just a long-distance chat like this.

But we can also see something from Shentong's attitude. At least in the current situation, it is obvious that not everyone in the Sakura Empire stands on Akagi's side.

"Empty Sakura, Akagi. Oh...but I want Amagi to return in a complete form."
