Chapter 1575: Risky Choice
In the fleet, the arrival of several new companions suddenly relaxed the fleet's atmosphere, which had been somewhat tense due to the recent high-intensity work.
In particular, the addition of the more lively Haiqi and Seattle has brought the entire fleet back to a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
After the dinner, Yang Sikang sat on the sofa, looking at the piles of ship girls surrounding Gascoigne and Seattle not far away, and smiled unconsciously. For him, this peaceful and daily scene was more precious than anything else.
The arrival of Gascony was similar to the appearance of the constellation in Yang Sikang's fleet.
As the largest battleship of the Richelieu class, the first ship of Iris, the Richelieu is also the bishop of Iris. Although it is still in the Azur Lane, its situation is unclear. However, the second ship, Jean Bart, is on the side of the Vichy Church, belonging to the side of the red axis.
Ship No. 3, Clemenceau. Many people have heard of this ship, but few have seen it. This has led many people to doubt whether Ship No. 3, Clemenceau, really exists as a ship, because in history, Clemenceau was not actually completed.
However, now, an even more exaggerated ship, the fourth ship of the Richelieu class, appeared in Yang Sikang’s fleet!
In other words, there is no ship girl like Gridley in his fleet, otherwise this matter would have been widely publicized on various news platforms.
However, although Gascoigne is not a real robot, his performance in various aspects is indeed somewhat mechanical. For example, he answers whatever is asked, but he only responds to the questions.
"Commander, won't you come over and chat with everyone?"
Huayuan came over and sat down next to Yang Sikang, and brought two sundaes and placed one in front of Yang Sikang.
Yang Sikang looked towards the garden and shook his head:
"It's not like I don't know them all. They are obviously interested in Gascogne. Haha, although Gascogne is very mechanical now, I believe that he will change in the process of interacting with his companions in the fleet."
Yang Sikang smiled:
"Just like people grow, KanColle can grow as well."
"Ah~ Commander, you're being reasonable again."
Huayuan shook the spoon in his hand and said with a smile:
"According to past experience, when you start to talk about things unconsciously like this, it must be because you want to do something but are hesitant and don't know whether you should do it immediately. If you don't mind, would you like to tell me about it?"
Yang Sikang smiled softly:
"There's nothing to be said..."
He considered it carefully and said:
"I want to go to Iron Blood."
Yang Sikang looked at the ship girls over there and said:
"The affairs of the Royal Army and the White Eagles are progressing steadily, and the most important tasks at hand are the unconscious Enterprise and the Bermuda Islands. However, it is difficult to find a suitable breakthrough point on both sides with our current technology. Although staying in the home port can contact important personnel from multiple camps at the same time, from another perspective, I am also fixed here."
Yang Sikang raised his head and sighed silently:
"I know Tiexue has what I want and need, but Anshan and the others are living here, and Aurora, Lexington and the others haven't left either. There are a lot of things to do, and if we let them go, accidents that are difficult to control may happen at any time."
When Yang Sikang said this, Huayuan keenly noticed some problems and interrupted him:
"Wait, Commander, are you thinking..."
"I plan to go to Iron Blood alone."
Hua Yuan's eyes widened immediately, and she subconsciously wanted to object. But she was calm after all, and she thought about it quickly, then frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Yang Sikang continued:
"As of now, the White Eagles' current affairs cannot be stopped, nor can the contacts and negotiations with various camps. What we need is to get the technical cooperation between the Royal Family, the White Eagles and us on the right track as quickly as possible, which requires continuous negotiations. Therefore, no matter who is taken away, it will cause corresponding problems."
"As for the Iron Bloods, their style and habits are very different from where we are now. If I lead the fleet directly over there, no matter how polite they are, I'm afraid they won't really agree with me. After thinking about it, I think that maybe it's best for me to go alone."
Yang Sikang was not acting on impulse, but the first problem he would have to face with this choice was the opposition from his current ship girls.
Although several of his shipgirls were in Iron Blood, Yang Sikang was defenseless in Iron Blood when their identities were not suitable to be exposed directly. Although there was a warp system, no one could predict whether any accidents would happen suddenly.
Another factor that prompted Yang Sikang to make this decision was his iron-blooded style.
If you want the Iron Blood camp to truly cooperate, it is meaningless to rely on external pressure. Only those who can make them agree with their own abilities, judgment and other aspects can truly gain their recognition.
The difference between the help and resources that a person who is recognized by Tiexue and a person who is just pretending to be recognized by Tiexue can actually be said to be like heaven and earth!
In particular, Yang Sikang had long been targeted by the most troublesome Prince Eugen, and he had always suspected that there were some secrets on the Iron Blood side that he didn't know about.
"Well, Commander, what you said makes sense, but, but..."
Garden frowned hesitantly, poking the sundae lightly with the spoon in his hand, and seemed to be in distress.
Yang Sikang smiled and changed his tone and said:
"Actually, I'm just considering it. If it doesn't work, I'll find another way."
Huayuan frowned slightly and turned her head to look at Yang Sikang. She sensed her commander's intentions. What he said just now was not just talk. Moreover, the order here was clear, and it was obvious that Yang Sikang had been thinking about these things for a long time.
Thinking back to the recent high-intensity work, the careful arrangements in all aspects, and today’s construction…
"I understand."
The Garden made its decision:
"Don't worry, Commander. I'll go talk to everyone else. Well, if you think this is appropriate, then do as you wish! However, there is a prerequisite. You have to promise that you won't keep secrets from us!"
Yang Sikang didn't expect that Huayuan would accept his idea so quickly. He was even thinking about how to convince others. After all, only Dafeng and Beifa knew about his plan. Although Dafeng strongly opposed it, she gradually accepted it after his persuasion.
Originally, he wanted to find a way to convince Yorktown first. After all, as a ship girl from the same family and who had once been in the headquarters, Yorktown should be able to understand the reasons why he made such a choice more easily, and then use Yorktown's assistance to convince others.
"Although I don't really want to agree, after all, it's quite dangerous. But you seem to have confidence in Iron Blood. Although I don't know where your confidence comes from, I believe in your judgment."
The garden smiled and said:
"So, I'll try to convince the others, Commander, you better get ready!"
Garden stood up, hands on hips:
"Besides, I believe that even if our commander goes to Iron Blood alone, he can easily build a reliable fleet! When you come back, we must welcome the new members!"
With Huayuan's strong support, Yang Sikang couldn't help but smile. His worried and gloomy mood seemed to be dispelled by the sunshine.
"Okay, wait until I come back."
