Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Although he was shocked, Yang Sikang also understood that Mavis contacted him this time just to complain.

But he has no dissatisfaction. After all, Mavis has been very helpful to him so far, especially when he first came to Chongying. Mavis's connections allowed him to obtain a lot of information that is usually difficult to obtain. .

After a full hour, Mavis calmed down.

After a short silence, just when Yang Sikang thought it was finally over, Mavis suddenly asked:

"Are you still going to take office as originally planned?"

"Is this something that has been agreed upon a long time ago?"

"What was agreed can be changed, and don't you know what's going on with you now? Ever since you went to Chongying, we haven't encountered any high-level sirens here again, but you, who are far away in Chongying, have never encountered a high-level siren. They fought again."

"There's nothing we can do about it."

"But your situation now is different from that time, right? Your level of freedom now is much higher than that of a commander who is tied to the port area, not to mention that your port area is almost completed now. The core part of the port area has not been rebuilt at all, right?”

Yang Sikang sighed and said:

"So, Mavis, you want me to postpone my appointment?"

"It's just my own suggestion."

Mevi did not shy away from anything and said bluntly:

"Actually, for you now, our home port is better than the port area you decided for yourself, isn't it?"

The person in charge of the port area, Cleveland and other high-level officials all have a very good attitude towards him, and because of the previous series of events, there are almost no people or things in the entire home port that are an obstacle to him.

Although he is still nominally a commander who has not taken up his post, he knows many things about the home port and has the ability to intervene.

The most important thing is that because of the appearance of the high-level siren, Donghuang and the imperial family had already met at the home port before he came to Chongying.

To put it bluntly, it is not an exaggeration to say that he actually controls the home port.

At least when White Eagle headquarters intervenes, it can be said that there is no difference between him in his home port and the port area under his control.

If he was in a state of being dependent on others when he first became the commander, then now, he is already a very important core figure in the home port.

"And even if you don't think about these things, you still have to think about your ship girls, right?"

Mavis said again:

"I have carefully learned about the current situation of the QX-306 port area through my father's connections. Because Baiying had previously prepared to abandon several surrounding port areas on that side, ordinary people and businessmen have all evacuated.

Although you forcibly settled on the QX-306 port area, it is still a no-man's land and no one wants to go back. The buildings were also left unrepaired. "

"Your fleet is now very large. Can you take care of everyone? Although they are ship girls, they still have to live a normal life when they are not fighting. You cannot let them live in a place other than the core part of the port area. , in an abandoned city surrounded by ruins, right?"

Yang Sikang was speechless.

He also had a general understanding of the situation in the QX-306 port area, and based on his previous transaction with Donghuang, he certainly knew how much could be repaired.

The reconstruction work in the frontline port area is no better than other places. Not only are there issues with the strength of the buildings, but the most important thing is that they must face the intrusion of the sirens.

Especially over there, because other surrounding port areas have also been disarmed, reconstruction will be very difficult.

This is also the main reason why even if people from Donghuang are responsible for reconstruction, they can only rebuild the core part of the port area.

And even this is just a framework.

"But it would have been more difficult to rebuild there if I hadn't been there."

"That's just more money."

Mevi said without any concern.

It is true that if Yang Sikang takes office, the subsequent reconstruction will be much easier.

Not only because he can resist the sirens to ensure the safety of the construction team, but the most important thing is that the garrisoned port area and the unmanned port area are two different concepts. As long as he goes there, people will gradually come to the port soon. If the area is concentrated around the area, the reconstruction speed will naturally increase.

But this is for normal circumstances, and based on Yang Sikang's current situation, if he takes office instead of ordinary sirens but purifiers and observers...then his port reconstruction plan may be over.

But there are disadvantages as well as advantages. As long as he can withstand the first few troubles, his port area will inevitably have an influx of talents in the future.

Such is the case in this era, there is nothing more attractive than a port area sheltered by a powerful enough commander.

Strong power means security, more maritime transport opportunities, and even the possibility of developing air transport. The import and export of goods is definitely the most profitable part now.

If there had not been the appearance of high-level sirens like the Purifiers, Yang Sikang's current accumulated reputation would have been enough.

No one cares whether what he does is bad or not. In the eyes of those investors, his strength is the most important, and other things are not within the scope of those people's consideration.

As for those government departments, they are not within the scope of those people's consideration.

"If you insist on taking the post, the benefits will not equal the risks you need to bear."

Mavis reminded again.

"And relying on the home port, you can still continue to promote the reconstruction of your port area. As long as the manager of this home port does not change, what do you need to worry about?"

When Yang Sikang heard what Mavis said, he sighed helplessly.

Mavis's words made sense, but he still didn't really want to change his plan.

Doesn’t he know the risks?

Of course he knew, and he had carefully planned it before.

Today is different from the past. If he stays in his home port now, although the amount of resources he will get will definitely be more than the amount of supplies he will get if he goes to the port area to take up a post, the risks he needs to bear will be smaller and his own degree of freedom will be smaller. It will also be higher.

After taking office, because the Minato City needs to be rebuilt, it is foreseeable that he will have to stay in the Minato City for a long time and cannot go to other places for activities.

The fact that Siren is standing still now also makes him doubtful. The risk after taking office will obviously be much higher than if he stayed in his home port.

Overall, from a long-term perspective, it would be more beneficial for him to stay in his home port. Postponing his arrival would be more advantageous. The reconstruction work might be extended as a result, but he would be able to move freely during the reconstruction of the port area.

But since others are not in the port area, the slowdown in reconstruction is only one aspect. What is more important is how to plan.

The problems caused by living without people are many.

"Let me think about it."

Yang Sikang could only answer like this.

"Okay, think about it."

The communication was hung up, and Yang Sikang let out a long sigh.

Belfast opened the door, brought in black tea and biscuits, and asked softly:

"What happened?"

Yang Sikang shook his head and sighed:

"Mavis advised me to postpone my appointment in the port area and give priority to the reconstruction of the port area. However, this has pros and cons, and the three years were originally agreed upon."

"In that case..."

Belfast looked at Yang Sikang with a smile and said slowly:

"Then it's okay to just do it all?"
