Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life
Chapter 1334: The Royal Family in Danger
In the quiet corridor of the Royal Headquarters, Elizabeth's voice suddenly rang out:
"What?! Again?!"
In the office, Elizabeth hastily pushed aside the document in front of her, opened the document that Belfast had just handed over, and quickly glanced through it.
"Damn it, where on earth did these guys come from? Why did we have to encounter them at this time when other camps haven't encountered them!"
The fleet that was heading to White Eagle had already been prepared, but troublesome guys had been appearing frequently in recent times.
First, some royal merchant ships were attacked by unknown sources. Although the damage was not large, the problem was that most of the losses were caused by the goods of Yang Sikang's company.
That’s not all. Unidentified enemies began to appear frequently near Scapa Flow, and their comings and goings were very strange. On several occasions, they even came all the way from the waters near the Iron Blood Fleet to Scapa Flow, causing the Iron Blood Fleet to engage in close combat with the Siren Fleet.
Although the situation on the Sirens' side was relatively normal, Elizabeth keenly noticed something irregular about the Iron Blood Fleet.
Their fighting power seems to be a bit exaggerated.
The Siren patrol was unilaterally crushed, and the battle was over in just ten minutes after it started. According to the feedback from the people who arrived nearby the fastest, a clearly unfamiliar figure appeared in the Iron Blood fleet, but its identity could not be confirmed.
Although Yang Sikang had said that before, Elizabeth dared not be careless about the time bomb of Iron Blood.
A powerful enemy appeared and Yang Sikang was seriously injured. At the same time, Yang Sikang's cargo was frequently attacked and lost. An unknown powerful force appeared in the Iron Blood Fleet and began to appear near Scapa Flow.
This was a sign of crisis for Elizabeth, and there had been no news from Yang Sikang's fleet.
Troubles are piling up one after another, and if we continue to send a fleet to White Eagle at this time, safety issues will also be a problem.
If we send too many people, we will be worried about the situation in Scapa Flow. But if we send too few people, it is unknown whether we can reach White Eagle safely.
As for calling in commanders and ship girls who are not from the headquarters, that is even more of a joke. Those iron-blooded ships that can crush the Siren fleet are definitely not something those young guys can deal with, and asking them to go to White Eagle is even more impossible. Elizabeth would rather not send anyone there than take the risk of sending someone with ill intentions.
Of course, Elizabeth would not sit idly by. Her primary goal was of course to solve the problem of the merchant ship attack first. After all, the incident happened on the royal side, and the businesses that suffered losses were basically those of Yang Sikang. Whether it was to maintain trade relations or to protect her own image, Elizabeth did not hesitate to make it a priority.
However, the process was not satisfactory.
There was no trace of the attackers at all. It was as if they suddenly appeared and disappeared after the attack. After the fleet that went to search returned empty-handed several times, Elizabeth had just replaced the search personnel with a patrol team composed of ship girls led by other commanders, and then the patrol team was attacked along with the merchant ship.
A large patrol team consisting of twelve ship girls and mass-produced ships was beaten dizzy in just half an hour without even finding the enemy. Not to mention protecting merchant ships, more than half of the patrol team themselves were injured. After returning, the Royal Command had to give them subsidies and bear the expenses of repairs.
The Iron Blood side was also very restless. The whereabouts of Iron Blood's submarines and cruisers began to be discovered more frequently after Elizabeth strengthened the patrol arrangements there. However, the other side was very vigilant and would often leave quickly as soon as they discovered each other on the radar.
"It's really abominable. It has to be at this time. As expected, the Iron Blood guys are still restless even after the Bismarck incident. But, where did they find those ship girls with such strong combat power? Is it really the technology from Yang Sikang?"
The Iron-Blooded Prince Eugen had traveled thousands of miles to meet Yang Sikang several times, and had enthusiastically sent a lot of Iron-Blooded equipment and other things. Elizabeth knew all this very well.
Although Yang Sikang seems to have no response to these things, anyone who knows him a little knows that he is not the kind of person who will not repay a favor. If you give him benefits, he will definitely give you feedback, and it is often something you need the most.
As for Iron Blood, they have always had an unclear relationship with the Sirens. Ever since they separated from Azur Lane and established Red Axis, their technology has begun to grow explosively. It is very likely that they got some information from Yang Sikang, and then developed their own technology with the help of the Sirens.
"Befa, let's hold off on sending the fleet out for now. You should personally draw up a plan. Even if you can't send people directly, at least you should express our attitude."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Elizabeth had no choice but to make this decision. At this point in time, and with several directions of the royal family unsafe, it would be difficult to send the fleet to White Eagle.
"Also, since we can't get through, let's focus on what we are doing. Donghuang's satellite launch is already underway. Although our Royal Army can't compare with Donghuang in this regard, we can't lose to those guys in Iron Blood anyway!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Elizabeth sighed and waved her hand:
"Go ahead and ask Warspite and Valiant to come see the king in an hour."
After leaving Belfast, Elizabeth began to think about another thing with a sad face, that is, the Northern Union.
The entire back of the royal island was protected entirely by the Northern Alliance and the Iron-Blooded Struggle, which stopped the dispute in the entire polar waters there and did not affect the royal family.
But now all other directions of the royal family are no longer safe. Although Tiexue had been well-behaved before, he seems to be ready to make some moves. The problem is that Tiexue did not take the initiative to provoke her, and on the surface she has no way to do anything obvious to Tiexue.
The situation on the Northern Union side is particularly important at this time. If the Northern Union suddenly fails in the polar region, the Royal Family will face the dilemma of being surrounded by enemies, even though the Royal Family has rich shipbuilding experience and good combat effectiveness.
But under the absolute pressure of numbers, once the Iron Blood and the Sirens really get mixed up, then the Royal Family will have no chance of resisting if they face the fleet coming out of the polar region, the Pacific Fleet, and the Iron Blood Fleet at the same time. That would be a matter of life and death!
It would be totally unwise to send people out at this time. Compared with the matter on Yang Sikang's side, it is more important to let Yan Zhan and others prepare to support the Polar Region first.
Moreover, what Elizabeth is most worried about and concerned about now is Iron Blood.
"Iron Blood, what on earth happened? Damn it, it looks like we need to send the maid team over..."
