Chapter 1668 Bismarck's Awakening
At the Tiexue Maritime Port Area, Yang Sikang returned here, and Z23 was waiting here as always.
"Nimi-chan, how's it going?"
"Commander Li Yinling's work is progressing smoothly, but I can only know some basic information. For more information, you need to go to Prince Eugen..."
"She must have given you the information, didn't you read it?"
“…I don’t think this is information I should know.”
"Take a good look at it and report the core content to me later. Let's go to training ground No. 1 now and ask Bismarck to come over here."
"Yes."
Z23 agreed resignedly and sighed silently. Yang Sikang smiled softly:
"From the day you were sent by Prince Eugen to follow me, you have been unable to avoid these things. As for your original relationships, frankly speaking, I don't care at all. Anyway, you have to work according to my needs when you come to me, and the position is not that important. Oh, by the way, Peter and the others will be back here starting tomorrow, and you will have to follow Peter Strasser for some time."
"I have learned this from Prince Eugen."
Z23 replied calmly, and Yang Sikang said:
"You are good in everything except these aspects. With the information you know now, can't you see which direction things are heading?"
"Being able to see it doesn't mean agreeing with it. At least for me, this is something I am not willing to accept. I admit that you are a capable and excellent commander, but agreeing with you as a person is different from agreeing with what you have done."
Z23 said seriously, but Yang Sikang just smiled:
"That's understandable, but I can only express my understanding."
Z23 silently began to contact other people, and when the two of them arrived at the training ground in silence, Bismarck was already there.
Seeing Yang Sikang, she explained:
"I happened to be training here, so I just waited here."
Z23 stopped and saluted her first, then looked at Yang Sikang:
"Well, I'll be leaving now. Please contact me if you need anything."
After Z23 left, Bismarck said:
"That child knows too much information. You shouldn't let her know so much. After all, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better."
Bismarck said, and then changed the subject:
"Geryon and I are in good shape. I was thinking of asking for your opinion in a few days. Now that you are here, why not come and see for yourself?"
"Okay, I had this idea today. Oh, and there's something else I want to tell you."
"Then let's talk about it while we're testing. You should be pretty tight on time."
Bismarck said this as he unfolded his ship suit and entered the training ground, then connected to the communication channel.
The two of them were communicating while conducting Bismarck's tests. For her, who already had a very good understanding with Geryon, she didn't even need to take these test items seriously and could handle them casually.
They talked about a lot of things, and the conversation only ended when Z23 came back.
"So, that's it?"
Yang Sikang asked Bismarck for her opinion, and she nodded in agreement. Then she looked at Z23 but said nothing. Yang Sikang understood what she meant and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, I didn't force anyone's preferences. If she doesn't want to, no one can force her to make a decision."
"I have no concerns about your character, but Z23 is a serious and stubborn child."
Z23 raised his head and opened his mouth, but chose to default and turned his head away. Bismarck pressed down the brim of his hat and whispered:
"Let me talk to her alone for ten minutes."
"Then I should go over to Eugen's place first. She should be in the office?"
"Since you are here, she must be there."
Yang Sikang nodded and left. After he left, Bismarck walked to the chair next to him and sat down.
"sit."
"Yes."
Z23 sat down quietly, and Bismarck sighed:
"I won't make excuses, but Z23, you're a very smart kid. You should be able to see our situation. Although the Red Axis seems to be competing with Azur Lane, we are all ships at heart, and our enemies are all Sirens after all. However, the appearance of that guy called Good Richard changed everything.
I know how powerful the Sirens are, so I took you away from the Azur Lane. I will never regret this. Slow and indecisive actions cannot really fight against the Sirens. But only when you really understand them, you will understand how big the gap is, and how terrible that guy called Good Richard is. "
"Just like when we left Azur Lane and chose to cooperate with the Sirens, we now need to make the same choice. We are not enough on our own, so I must die. Only in this way can the trend I brought about be stopped and leave room for maneuver."
"Fortunately, I didn't die completely. U556 saved me, but I was just alive. Haha, it's ridiculous. Until Frederick and the others showed up, we could only rely on Prince Eugen... What do you think of Frederick the Great?"
“A great leader, strong, confident and very good.”
Z23 replied calmly. This was the common view of almost all the Iron Blood ship girls on Frederick the Great. The appearance of Frederick the Great allowed the Iron Blood to regroup in a very short period of time and wipe out the previous decline, as if they had returned to the period when Bismarck was still alive, or even better than before.
"She is a design ship, a design ship built by Yang Sikang himself. Not only her, but also Ulrich von Hutten, Roan, Odin, Mainz and others. There are no miracles falling from the sky in the world, Z23, these are all prepared gifts, and gifts often come with a price."
Z23 still said nothing, and Bismarck continued:
"Iron Blood needs change, and we as the leaders of Iron Blood also need to make a choice. Frederick's appearance is an opportunity that cannot be missed. I am sure of this both then and now."
"So what's the price, yourself? Or our entire Iron Blood Fleet?"
Z23 couldn't help but speak. Bismarck pursed his lips and replied:
"I am, and you can be too. But unfortunately, he doesn't seem to want any of that. I joined his fleet out of a need for strength, but it was also a decision I made after careful consideration. Frederick changed the direction of the Iron Blood and brought about change.
My return as a former leader is the second change, and it is an opportunity for us to cooperate with Azur Lane again. But the Red Axis will not disappear, and I still don’t agree with the slow thinking of Azur Lane. ”
"But these are not enough. We need stronger and more direct changes, from top to bottom, to bring about fundamental changes."
"But, you are the flagship..." Z23 pursed her lips: "Frederick is his ship, and you have joined his fleet, what about us?"
Bismarck smiled:
"I can't give you the answer to this question. You need to find it yourself."
