Chapter 887 Press Conference (1)
After returning to the manor, Hao went to Yang Sikang's study to rest, which was a rare opportunity for him.
Belfast and others also noticed Hao lying on the sofa in the study reading a book, but none of them asked about it specifically.
After finishing the work that needed to be handled immediately, Yang Sikang came to the sofa and Hao made room for him.
"The monarch went out with George V?"
"Ah."
Hao responded absentmindedly, then seemed to react belatedly and added:
"Because the Royal Prince of Wales's reaction was a little strange, as if he had locked himself in his room?"
"Aren't you going to take a look?"
"No. Anyway, if the eldest sister can't pull her out, there's no point for me to go. And I think the key to the matter lies in the monarch, so I won't go."
As Hao spoke, she stretched her arms towards the coffee table, but because the sofa and the coffee table were a little far apart, she was still a little short of being able to reach the plate with warm cookies on the table.
Yang Sikang brought the plate over, Hao took a biscuit, put it in his mouth and bit it with a snap.
"Speaking of which, this exercise feels very interesting. For us, the situation of being outnumbered is relatively closer to an actual combat situation, but the strength of the opponent is not as high as that of the Siren."
Hao ate a cookie as he spoke, his eyes tilted upwards towards the ceiling, a little distracted.
Hao stopped talking halfway through, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Yang Sikang didn't wake her up, but took a piece of biscuit and put it in his mouth.
Freshly baked cookies are always delicious. Perhaps it is due to the type of ingredients or cooking utensils, but after coming to the royal side and living in the manor, the cookies and bread baked by the maids have some special aroma.
It seems that there is a special old-fashioned oven specially prepared here, but Yang Sikang has no time to cook, so he has never checked it out.
Hao was absent-minded for about ten minutes. When she came to her senses, the biscuits that were still hot were almost cold, but still crispy.
And Hao didn't seem to intend to continue the previous topic, and the two of them unconsciously shifted the topic to the book Hao was reading, and soon they started discussing the content of literary books over snacks.
By the time Howe left, George V and the monarch had returned.
Judging from George V's expression, things were probably going well, but for the Prince of Wales, the monarch's appearance probably made her feel very complicated.
After all, for others, although the Monarch was an abandoned plan of the King George V class, they had nothing to worry about, but the Prince of Wales... her prototype ship was the only one of the King George V-class battleships that was sunk by the enemy.
So the Prince of Wales is also special to the monarch.
It was originally a plan that was worse than his own, but it was still sunk by the enemy in the war. How could the monarch, who already had strong confidence in his own strength, accept this?
But it seems that at least the monarch on his side has had some other ideas during the actual contact with them.
Both Monarch and Neptune had to undergo testing after returning from the exercise, so the Monarch, who had left with George V, now had to make up for this part and check whether the ship's equipment and physical condition had suffered any adverse effects in the battle.
As for Yang Sikang, his phone started to get busy after the evening.
A few hours were enough for the other camps to learn about what was happening on his side. White Eagle was the most informed, but the others would not be much behind, the only difference being the time arrangements for communication.
And finally, of course, there was a visit from the royal family.
"In summary, His Highness the War-weary Prince hopes that Commander Yang can participate in the press conference the day after tomorrow morning to formally respond to the outside world's questions. Regarding the actual situation, we have already made some responses. The relevant information has been handed over to your Miss Belfast. If you need anything, please ask us directly. Is this okay?"
"no problem."
Yang Sikang smiled and nodded:
"I will attend the press conference on time, but I hope you can understand that I don't like to agree with other people's opinions, so if someone tries to find fault at the press conference, I may say some radical remarks. Of course, this is not something that will necessarily happen, I just want to be prepared."
Hermione, who was responsible for delivering the message, smiled slightly:
"Please rest assured that no matter what statement you make, the royal family will support your words."
Yang Sikang politely sent Hermione away and then shook his head.
"It's a press conference. It's so formal. There will definitely be people who will come out to cause trouble, right?"
Hearing him say this, Belfast on the side laughed and said:
"But you will still go and teach those people a lesson, right?"
"Of course, they didn't dare to do anything or find fault with me in other ways. They only dared to say something verbally, which was really not presentable."
Having said that, Yang Sikang deliberately paused for a moment, then said:
"So, I decided to give them a few slaps to let them know what unreasonableness is."
※※※
At the press conference, when Yang Sikang entered, most of the reporters here had already made preparations in advance.
As the main figure who is undoubtedly in the spotlight in all aspects now, the appearance of Yang Sikang is undoubtedly an exciting thing for these reporters.
You should know that before this, Yang Sikang had participated in absolutely no public interviews or press conferences. The only person who could interview him was a little-known reporter named Andy a few years ago. These things were frequently criticized in the past few years, but due to Yang Sikang's style of doing things, they only dared to slander him verbally in private, and did not even dare to discuss it on social platforms.
And now, this commander who has just been in the Royal Army for a month has agreed to attend this press conference. What is this called? This is called face!
For the people in the Royal Family, the opportunity to drag down those people in the White Eagle is always exciting. However, Yang Sikang went his own way in the White Eagle and attended the press conference when he arrived at the Royal Family, which also had some impact on public opinion.
Yang Sikang was very clear about these things because he often paid attention to the developments on the Internet during his rest time.
Having already made up his mind, the smile on his face became even brighter. After sitting in his seat, he leaned forward slightly, placed his hands on the table with his fingers crossed and fingertips overlapping each other, and swept his eyes over the reporters in front of him like a hunter selecting prey that suits his taste.
