Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

As a result, because of some unknown reason someone went fishing early in the morning, lunch at the residential area was temporarily changed to a large collection of fish dishes.

In order to prepare the corresponding auxiliary materials, Ning Hai and Ping Hai took Ying Ruizhao and the four sisters of Anshan class to another island to harvest the vegetables and auxiliary materials they planted.

In the reception room, Hao opened the door while holding a plate of hot cranberry cookies that had just come out of the oven and humming a tune. He then put the cookies on the table and sat down.

"That is to say, Commander Yang hopes to conduct regular exercises with our fleet as before."

War-weary said with certainty, and Yang Sikang nodded:

"There are no people who can stand up to my fleet in normal exercises. It was better when Enterprise and the others were here, but now training is a problem after they left."

Yang Sikang spread his hands and said:

"I think it's mutually beneficial for us to have a formal exercise."

"Yes, but considering other threats, we did not bring a complete fleet this time."

War-weary replied:

"However, if Commander Yang has this intention..."

"Please wait a moment."

Lexington said:

"I also have some ideas about this exercise."

Lexington has a keen sense of smell. Although she usually works as an idol, she will not let down when it comes to things like this.

"I think it's a good idea to conduct a full-scale exercise. We've already seen Commander Yang's training ground this morning. To be honest, the conditions are excellent. If possible, how about letting me get involved?"

I think, since this is an exercise for the purpose of a confrontation, it should be more effective to have different opponents compete with each other rather than a fixed opponent, right?"

"That being said, doesn't the White Eagle have a fleet here?"

The Prince of Wales asked, and Lexington replied with a smile:

"It's just that there isn't one right now, but if the purpose is for the exercise, I think there will be enough ship girls willing to come and participate in the headquarters. There aren't many opportunities to conduct exercises with the fleet of the rumored Commander Yang Sikang."

While Lexington was speaking, he had already begun to consider which personnel could be directly dispatched as soon as possible.

Each camp wants to improve the combat capabilities of its own combat forces, and conducting confrontation exercises with powerful opponents is obviously a good way to improve strength without taking risks.

Putting aside the hardware improvements, Yang Sikang's fleet is impeccable as an opponent in the exercise in terms of combat experience, habits, and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances on the battlefield, including taking into account special circumstances such as the possibility of being trapped in a mirror-like sea.

The most important thing is that Yang Sikang’s fleet has enough members, including basically all kinds of ship girls, which means that he can replace different members according to the composition of the opponent’s fleet.

Although Lexington did not know the complete situation of Yang Sikang at present, a lot of information had been confirmed from the intelligence provided by Enterprise and others before she came here.

Yang Sikang looked at Yan Zhan. He naturally didn't mind the increase in opponents in the exercise. It was just what he wanted. So, it all depended on the Royal Family's idea.

"Then how about we just conduct a joint exercise?"

War-weariness said decisively:

"Since Lexington is here, then for now, Lexington, Commander Yang and I can basically represent the decision-making power of the three of us. In this case, in addition to the standard exercises between the Royal Fleet and the White Eagle Fleet, how about considering the option of our cooperative exercises?"

"Agree."

Lexington raised his hand without hesitation, and Yang Sikang also smiled:

"I agree. So, as to the specific method..."

All three parties expressed their agreement, except Anshan, who hurriedly found an excuse to temporarily leave the room, and then frantically contacted Donghuang in the bathroom.

But what she didn't know was that as soon as she left, the three people in the room tacitly stopped the discussion.

"Sure enough, nothing was explained before Anshan came."

Lexington said briskly.

"Donghuang should be trying to show its trust in Commander Yang. But then again, this kind of thing is indeed very much like Donghuang's style." Yan Zhan added in agreement.

Yang Sikang smiled, shook his head and sighed:

"But if nothing unexpected happens, Donghuang will not be involved in the exercise plan now."

Lexington and War-weary were both a little surprised. In their opinion, it was better to get involved in such things. Under normal circumstances, there were not many opportunities for them to conduct exercises together safely. Which one would not require a long time of preparation in advance?

But things will be much simpler on Yang Sikang's side. They only need to decide on the personnel. This is a rare opportunity.

But Yang Sikang saw it more clearly. Donghuang had used a large number of trial missile launchers in the previous battle. After realizing that they were researching in the wrong direction, Yang Sikang gave some hints.

Afterwards, Donghuang took advantage of the return of Yang Sikang's ship girls to send the four Anshan-class sisters over.

It was not anyone else, nor were there many people, but none other than the four sisters of the Anshan class, who had just used the prototype missile launcher!

At this time, for the people of Donghuang, solving the problem of armed forces is the fastest way to solve their main problem rather than joint exercises. As for the problem of exercises, White Eagle and Royal may lack people, but Donghuang has no shortage of opportunities for confrontational exercises.

The most important thing is that the cooperation between Donghuang and Yang Sikang has been further advanced, and they are not in a hurry.

The most important point for Donghuang is that the ship girls there are very clear about the priority of things and can make decisive choices.

Although there are great benefits to being involved in this joint exercise, at the same time, some of Donghuang's long-hidden means and other information will inevitably be more clearly exposed to White Eagle and the Royal Family.

Pros and cons are never one-sided. Yang Sikang made a comprehensive judgment and based on his understanding of Yixian and Zhenhai, Donghuang would most likely not participate.

But he also has his own plans.

Sure enough, Anshan came back after a while, but did not mention anything related to the exercise.

After roughly finalizing the size of the fleet, Lexington and Warspite tacitly left the meeting room with their people and returned to their respective rest areas to contact the headquarters.

Anshan, who stayed behind, looked around and hesitated before Yang Sikang took the initiative to speak:

"Anshan, please join my ship girls in the exercise."

Anshan looked over in surprise, and Yang Sikang said calmly:

"You guys need to collect data, too. You've just contacted your families, so they should have given you some instructions, right? Since you need to collect data, just get it directly from the exercise."
