Chapter 992: Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy
In the manor, Belfast had just finished introducing to Edinburgh the method of making Donghuang's osmanthus cake that he learned from the commander when Sheffield came back.
"Sister, the materials are ready. Please try it first."
After the explanation, Belfast came outside the room, and Sheffield said:
"On the royal side, Warspite had an hour-long encrypted communication early this morning, and the content could not be overheard. When Glory sent Dido to deliver the message, it also sent other maids. I was almost discovered, so I was unable to follow them, and I cannot be sure what they did.
But the others returned earlier than Dido, and Dido went to several places after leaving us.”
As Sheffield spoke, he passed his files to Belfast. After the data exchange was completed, Belfast said:
"It seems that the royal side is ready to discuss with the commander. Tomorrow's meeting may be about the Bermuda Islands. The master attaches great importance to the islands, and matters in this regard are now the top priority."
"Also, when I came back, I took a look at Guanghui's place. Her defenses were strengthened. For the sake of caution, I did not try to sneak in."
"Haha, that's to be expected. But if your family hasn't been transferred here, it means you're probably tied up with the work at the headquarters, right?"
"Is it okay for us to monitor the royal family's movements like this?"
"Of course it doesn't matter."
Belfast smiled and said:
"Given our master's style, it would be more disturbing if we did nothing during this period. I'm worried that Guanghui might think of something, so Xie Fei, can you go to the Prince of Wales again? Let's not be discovered for a while."
"no problem."
The more Guanghui thought about it, the more possible it seemed. After reviewing the movements in the previous battle and then putting herself in the shoes of Yang Sikang's fleet, she felt more and more that their actions, which seemed a little strange at the time, might really have other reasons.
After thinking about it, Guanghui felt that perhaps he should talk to the Prince of Wales about this matter.
Once the decision was made, he took action immediately. Guanghui first arranged his own affairs to prevent Yang Sikang from suddenly sending someone over during this period. Then he contacted the Prince of Wales through communication to confirm the meeting time.
After everything was ready, Guanghui went to the Prince of Wales' room.
The reason for not choosing to do it in the office is to avoid being noticed, and it is also easier to be observed by people mixed in the crowd in the office area.
But when Guanghui arrived near the Prince of Wales' room, she had released a reconnaissance plane in advance and was observing the surrounding situation. She keenly caught a figure that disappeared very quickly from the reconnaissance plane's field of vision.
"That is……"
There was a gleam in Guanghui's eyes, she frowned and thought, and suddenly became a little hesitant.
The car arrived at its destination and stopped, and after the light came down, it came to the Prince of Wales's room.
Although she observed the last section of the road very carefully, the figure that flashed by was not captured again.
"You are really alert. It seems that my reconnaissance has also been discovered."
Guanghui sighed softly and came to the Prince of Wales' room.
"Welcome, but is there anything you need to discuss in my room that can't be discussed in the office area?"
As soon as the Prince of Wales finished speaking, Guanghui immediately said:
"It's about Commander Yang. I suspect..."
Guanghui repeated his previous thoughts, during which the Prince of Wales frowned.
She hadn't noticed much about what Guanghui said before, but at least from her point of view, there was no problem in the past few days.
After thinking it over again and again, the Prince of Wales shook his head:
"I haven't paid much attention to what you said. And as you know, I have been talking to Howe and George V during this period, but George V really has no flaws."
"Yes, that's why I came to your place. But on the way here, I made an unexpected discovery."
"Discover?"
The Prince of Wales became interested, Guanghui nodded, and said:
"My reconnaissance plane captured a figure that disappeared quickly in a blind spot. The other party obviously noticed the existence of my reconnaissance plane and made the most correct judgment in a very short time and disappeared quickly."
"So they've already prepared a plan for what to do if they're discovered, and it's not too far from where I live?"
"Yes."
At this point, the Prince of Wales already had an idea in his mind, and he smiled and shook his head:
"Sheffield, isn't it?"
"Haha, I think so too. Sheffield is not the only one who can do these things in Commander Yang's fleet, but there are not many who can know some of your habits in advance, maintain the safest observation distance, and at the same time be prepared for my habitual reconnaissance."
"But this proves that you just said that he didn't take any action, and maybe he has other plans."
"Yes, but I think since we are here, we might as well have a chat."
"And also let Sheffield report back in the same way?"
"Yes."
The Prince of Wales shook his head and smiled:
"You guys are always so particular about these things. I can't imagine that even if I knew Sheffield was peeking, I don't think I would care about her."
"We can't help it. Commander Yang is a thoughtful man. We have to consider carefully anything he does in his current situation."
Guanghui said helplessly, and then added:
"And His Majesty is very concerned about him now. If the negotiations with White Eagle cannot be completed smoothly, His Majesty has already planned the option of cooperating directly with him. In this case, we must give it more consideration."
The Prince of Wales nodded and became serious.
"Perhaps he expected Sheffield to monitor us, but it's a good thing. It's more beneficial for us to deal with him if we both know each other's intentions."
Guanghui shook his head and said:
"No, I think the current situation may not be good for us. Don't forget that he knows our situation very well. I believe that my invitation has already allowed him to anticipate our thoughts. If he just wants to have an open discussion with us, there is no need for Sheffield to look after you."
The Prince of Wales was startled and frowned slightly:
"Then what do you mean?"
Guanghui hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head:
"Although it feels a bit strange, I can't think of the reason why he did this. Maybe, maybe there is something we don't know..."
The two of them thought of a possibility almost at the same time. They looked at each other and said in unison:
"Siren!"
