Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Night, on the edge of the port.

When Yang Sikang came here, Chicheng had been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing that she seemed to have been standing here for a long time, Yang Sikang turned his head and looked at Belfast. The head maid nodded slightly.

"Akagi, you found me out so late. Is there something important?"

"Can't I ask you to come out at night if there is nothing important? Your Excellency Yang Sikang."

Yang Sikang smiled.

"Of course, I'm quite happy to accompany you. After all, Akagi, you are so busy now, but you still have free time to come to me for some unimportant things."

Chicheng had a smile on his face and didn't have much reaction to Yang Sikang's words.

After having experienced Yang Sikang's methods, now this verbal thing alone can no longer cause big psychological fluctuations in her.

She was already prepared before coming to find him.

"You are indeed very interesting. Obviously Dafeng is also our Chongying's ship girl, but you dare to let her negotiate those important matters with us alone. Although the built ship girls will obey the commander, in reality So far, you are the only one who has built the 'home' ship girl."

Akagi narrowed his eyes as he spoke:

"Aren't you worried that Dafeng will turn to our side?"

"do not worry."

Yang Sikang answered Chicheng's question without hesitation, and then said:

"Whether Dafeng favors you or not, it doesn't matter to me. As long as the deal is completed, I have achieved my goal. As for the quality of the conditions, I don't care."

Chicheng frowned slightly. Yang Sikang's sudden and reckless behavior was completely different from his previous words and deeds, which also gave Chicheng some bad feelings.

"Your sudden honesty is quite surprising."

"Because things have reached this stage, it doesn't matter whether you are honest or not."

Yang Sikang suddenly looked at Akagi with a playful smile.

His gaze was extremely aggressive, as if he wanted to see the entire Akagi in front of him from the inside out.

Akagi only felt a slight discomfort in her body. This kind of strange gaze was something she had never experienced before.

No one on her side or the enemy had ever looked at her like this, like a hunter looking at his trophies.

"What do you mean?"

After swallowing the words on his lips, Akagi began to pretend to be confused almost subconsciously. However, the smile on Yang Sikang's face still did not change at all, and he said calmly:

"At this time, Akagi, you found me at midnight, which means you have already made a decision, doesn't it?"

“But it doesn’t necessarily turn out the way you want.”

"No, the result will only be what I want."

Yang Sikang turned around to face Chicheng and said with a smile:

“Because Chongying didn’t have a choice in this matter from the beginning, it would be fine if both Donghuang and Beilian just stood by and watched.

But from the moment Akagi you moved Hairuo and the shrine was blown up by me, the nature of the matter has been different. "

Chicheng met Yang Sikang's gaze without flinching:

"Why do you think so?"

Yang Sikang raised a finger and slowly said one word:

"resource."

Akagi raised his eyebrows, but his heart suddenly sank.

"I didn't pay much attention to this problem at first, but fortunately I have a lot of leisure time to wander around, observe and then discuss it with other people. So after a while, I found that I seemed to know the biggest problem that troubled Chongying The root of it is resources.”

"Whether White Eagle or the Royal Family, the way to deal with the Sirens is all based on defense. They constantly understand the Sirens, collect information and summarize intelligence, and then improve themselves to change the combat situation in the process of fighting the Sirens. This This strategy is stable and reliable and can reduce losses a lot, but the price is that it requires a lot of resources in the process of constant trial and error and understanding the opponent.”

"Whether it's basic materials, mental cubes or more importantly talents, this way of exchanging time for loss is a huge consumption of resources, but Baiying and the Royal Family don't care, but Chongying can't care less."

Yang Sikang looked at Chicheng, took half a step forward and looked into Chicheng's eyes.

"The mainland of Chongying is small and the country is not in good shape. Under the current situation where the threat posed by the sirens is increasing day by day, Chongying's situation is very dangerous. Once the entire Chongying is surrounded by aircraft carriers, There are almost no places that can be called completely safe.

What's more, Chongying is also very dependent on the import and export of materials and seafood, so you can't shrink the defense line to the surrounding areas like other camps, but you must push the front line out.

However, the further the defense line is pushed outward, the more resources it will cost to establish the port area, the greater the amount of material supplies required and the consumption of maintaining the supply line.

Therefore, the strategy of White Eagle and Royal is a slow death for Chongying. Chongying's departure from Azur Lane and joining the Red Axis is not a rash act, but an inevitable result. "

Chicheng looked at Yang Sikang. After hearing what he said, Chicheng, who was a little uneasy before, calmed down.

Yang Sikang's words hit the right answer very accurately, but because of this, after knowing that Yang Sikang had seen the objective facts clearly, she no longer had so many scruples.

"Yes, this is inevitable. What's more, whether we are Sakura or Iron Blood... we have already formed an alliance. In the eyes of others, it is not surprising that we established the Red Axis. Everything is taken for granted."

"Unfortunately, establishing a red central axis cannot completely solve the problems faced by Chongying."

Yang Sikang smiled and brought the topic back to himself.

"When I first came to Chongying, I once thought that the extremely strict review and training system was to select better talents, screen them layer by layer, only let the best people take on important responsibilities, and win with quality. .

But when I realized that the biggest problem that troubled Chongying was resources, it was different from a different perspective. "

"Perhaps those screenings are not to select the best talents, but to grade all the talents available to Chongying. Find out who is capable to what extent, allocate corresponding resources to them, and maximize Reduce the waste of resources and maximize the effectiveness of limited resources.

Therefore, there is such a cumbersome and time-consuming training and review mechanism, so there is a constraint that the commander cannot build at will.

But once this kind of thing is exposed to other camps, it will be extremely detrimental to Shige Sakura, so you need to keep it secret, so you restrict construction in some special way, so that the ship girls in your camp can only build with the Rubik's Cube given by the family. The means was born. "

"But you have even built the Great Phoenix."

"That's my problem."

Yang Sikang shrugged and continued:

"The same goes for working with the Siren. For Chongyakura, defense against the Siren is the largest expenditure of resources, especially the precious resource of the Mental Cube.

As long as a certain degree of cooperation is achieved with the Siren, on the one hand, the cost of defending the Siren can be greatly reduced, and on the other hand, technology and other things can be obtained from the Siren.

The most important thing is that as long as the Sirens don't interfere with it, Chongying's import and export trade can be done much more casually to make up for Chongying's own resource problems. "

"That's how it would have been if you hadn't shown up."

Akagi said calmly:

"And there are some things that even you can't..."

"Are you referring to the power of the so-called 'gods'?"

Chicheng's eyes widened. This was the biggest secret hidden in her heart, but Yang Sikang seemed to know even this.

Yang Sikang shook his head. He had no intention of mentioning the plot of the game to Chicheng, and that was not his purpose.

"Let's put this topic aside for now. Many of Shige Sakura's choices so far can be explained by the word resource, but until now, this problem has still not been solved. That's why I said, Akagi, you actually have no choice at all."

Chicheng looked into Yang Sikang's eyes, and after a moment of silence, he even lowered his tail.

"You are indeed special..."

Yang Sikang smiled.
