Chapter 894: Vehicle Selection for Tour
In the afternoon, Yang Sikang and Belfast came to the office area of the port.
Because they were invited, they didn't make much preparation. However, when the two of them arrived here, Hermione from the royal side was already waiting.
The two followed Hermione all the way to the office door. After waiting for a few seconds, the office door opened, and inside were War-weary and Glory, who had just finished their conversation.
"Commander Yang, I'm sorry to call you here so suddenly. Did this disturb your schedule?"
"No, I've been pretty relaxed these past few days. What can I do for you?"
Warspite looked at Glory, who handed him a tablet.
"It's mainly about touring the royal palace. I hope you can confirm the issue of the ship. If you still plan to use the Gu Diao for the tour, after all, it is a warship, so you need to make a lot of preparations and reports in advance. But if you just want to tour, our suggestion is that you can choose some more convenient ships."
Yang Sikang picked up the tablet computer, and the information on it was full of detailed information and introductions about some cruise ships, and also came with a large number of interior photos and real-life videos.
Judging from the recording time of the material, it should have happened in the past two days. After thinking about it, Yang Sikang understood why they were so eager to find him.
If the purpose is to have fun, it would definitely be inappropriate to use the Gu Diao, a warship with outrageous firepower.
Regardless of the relationship between the two sides, allowing a foreign warship equipped with complete and powerful firepower to travel around the domestic waterways is a very inappropriate choice. However, Yang Sikang's fleet is not small, and ordinary ships can hardly meet the needs.
The most important thing is that the Royal Family cares a lot about the specifications. During the tour, there will definitely be Royal Family's ship girls accompanying him, so if it is too petty, it would go against the original intention of the Royal Family to invite him to this tour.
However, if a large cruise ship is used, a lot of preparation is required. Obviously, the royal family does not intend to change the scheduled departure date at the last minute, so they can only rush to confirm these most important matters immediately.
However, Yang Sikang did not specifically mention this, as it was not a big problem anyway.
However, after watching a few of them, Yang Sikang suddenly had an idea.
He put down the tablet in his hand and looked at Guanghui:
"Ms. Glory, do you think the Royal Family has any spare Hood-type mass-produced ships now?"
"This... although there are some, they are all in the form of battleships."
Glorious looked at Warspite first, and agreed only after getting permission, but also pointed out that Hood's mass-produced ships were all in battleship status and were not suitable for living.
After all, they were all built on the basis of the prototype ship. Although it was completely unnecessary, the interior of the ship still maintained its previous state. The small, compact and closed cabin living environment must not meet Yang Sikang's needs.
"It doesn't matter, as long as it's available. Of course, I also hope to borrow the dock."
"no problem."
War-weary agreed readily without hesitation.
Even Guanghui was a little surprised, but Yanzhan looked at Yang Sikang with a smile, and seemed very happy that he made this request.
"Hood's mass-produced ships will be transferred here the day after tomorrow, and the dock will be ready today. We will inform you of the relevant information about the dock later, and we can help you prepare any materials you need."
"Thank you very much. You don't have to worry about the materials. Some basic materials should be enough. As for the dock, I'll take someone to take a look tomorrow. It can be considered as making some preparations in advance."
Things were settled so easily, although it was not in line with the initial expectations, it was obviously in line with War-weary's expectations.
The Hood battlecruiser has a special meaning to the royal family. Compared to its role as the backdrop for the iron-blooded flagship Bismarck in that classic battle, the Hood is better known for its tour of the entire royal family.
This practice of using warships as spiritual symbols for propaganda was practiced in the Royal Family and also in the Sakura Empire. The Sakura Empire's was even more classic, and that was Nagato who was not allowed to go to war.
As the BIG SEVEN of Sakura Empire, they are unable to go to war because they are the spiritual symbol of Sakura Empire to promote their naval strength to the people. Although they have the fighting power, they can only stay in the port and watch the war develop powerlessly.
Although Hood was much better than Nagato in this respect, after Bismarck's shell hit his ammunition depot and ended his life in a hasty manner, leaving behind a famous scene, the former symbol of the navy gradually became a topic of ridicule among the people.
But in any case, for the Royal Family, there is no doubt that the Hood has a higher reputation.
This is exactly why Yang Sikang chose the mass-produced ship of the Hood, and he can also use it to show his "closeness" to the royal side.
For some things, it is not enough for them to exist objectively; they also need to be publicized so that more people can see them.
As the saying goes, what you hear is not as true as what you see. This is the truth.
Yang Sikang had his own powerful command ship, the Gu Diao, but when he toured the royal palace, he chose the Hood, the largest battleship at the time, which was once the glory of the Royal Navy and promoted the Royal Navy, as his vehicle.
No matter what outsiders say, this alone is enough to become a topic of discussion and will inevitably bring some people closer psychologically.
Anyway, it doesn't matter to Yang Sikang which boat he chooses for sightseeing, so why not choose a more suitable one?
Moreover, it was still relatively early before the trip, and he and Yubari and the others were basically free and not doing any research, so it would not be a problem to make some drastic modifications to the mass-produced model of the Hood.
The royal family seemed to really care about this matter, because just two hours after Yang Sikang returned to the manor, all the information about the location, number, internal facilities, materials in the warehouse, etc. of the dock arranged for her by Yan Zhan and the others had been delivered to her.
The content was so detailed that one could even count how many nuts were stored in the warehouse. Even Yang Sikang couldn't help but be amazed.
The ones who were even more excited about this were Yubari and Akashi. They had been completely idle for the past few days with nothing to do, and they didn't want to tinker with those little toys with Ingraham. When they learned that they had the opportunity to freely transform the mass-produced model of the Hood into a cruise ship for their travels, their interest suddenly piqued.
So on the next day, Yang Sikang and his team, who were originally scheduled to go to the dock to check the situation after lunch, arrived at eight o'clock in the morning.
The door to the dock hasn't even been opened yet!
When the person in charge of managing the warehouse arrived at work on time with a Starbucks, he found a few extraordinary people standing at the door of the warehouse. The speed at which they ran over made Yang Sikang wonder if they were retired football players.
