Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Sunshine, beach, and beautiful women.

As a holiday destination, the Bermuda Islands fully encompass all of the above elements under royal construction.

Before the threat of the Sirens grew stronger, thanks to the unique location of this place, on the one hand it had the protection of the royal family, on the other hand it had the protection of the fleet hired by those who did business here, and in addition, the White Eagle, which was in an allied camp with the royal family, was not far from here, so it was very safe.

Even in the age of Sirens, with the guarantee of these basic conditions, the Bermuda Islands has become an extremely popular place dominated by tourism, and has developed very well.

The unique beach conditions and ocean conditions here have attracted countless people to come here. Even the hotels in the Bermuda Islands, although extremely expensive, still require a lot of time to book and wait.

In addition, there were several ports on the coastline closest to White Eagle that could provide mutual assistance. With the support of various conditions, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Bermuda Islands is a paradise.

However, all the prosperity gradually declined due to an incident.

The once-mighty port closest to here, QX-306 Port, was suddenly reduced to burning ruins, debris piled on the continental shelf, and fuel and various debris floating on the sea.

Not only that, several surrounding port areas were also severely damaged, and before others could react, the White Eagle side had already issued the order to withdraw defenses for those port areas.

This was a bolt from the blue for the Bermuda Islands, which were not too far away.

Although the Bermuda Islands belong to the Royal Family rather than the White Eagles, anyone with a discerning eye knows that since those port areas that everyone used to think were safe and reliable could suddenly become ruins, it would be much easier to achieve the same effect for the Bermuda Islands, which is just an archipelago and even sacrificed the defense area that was supposed to be built as a port area for the development of tourism.

Coincidentally, due to many factors such as the fact that the Bermuda Islands can only be reached by a special escort ship, expensive hotel fees, and extremely high consumption levels, people who can come here for tourism and vacation have more or less some capital.

These people are often the ones who value their lives the most, so naturally, the first decline of the Bermuda Islands began.

But it turns out that as long as the conditions are met, humans will not learn any lessons from past events.

After only a few years, business in the Bermuda Islands began to gradually pick up. Although the port areas across the sea were still empty, everyone who came here knew during prior investigation that the QX-306 was already being rebuilt.

The White Eagles also built up their outer defenses during this period, their confidence returned, and more and more people began to continue traveling here.

Until the Siren suddenly began to grow stronger.

This time is different from before. The escort fleets that each company can hire are no longer a match for the Siren's fleet. The only one that can fight against the Siren is the fleet led by the ship girls. However, such a fleet is impossible to hire when each camp has to strengthen its defense.

Without even reliable guards, one can imagine how many people are willing to travel here.

"That's roughly the situation."

After Kewei finished speaking, he let out a long breath, picked up the drink beside him and took a sip, then leisurely pushed his sunglasses onto his forehead and turned to look at Yang Sikang:

"So Commander, is it really worth spending so much for a place that is already in its second decline and will inevitably decline to a very low price?"

Yang Sikang had known more or less about what Kewei said before, but some of the content was not made public, so he did not understand it completely.

Kewei said this not to persuade Yang Sikang to give up, but in her opinion, it was not cost-effective to spend a huge amount of money to exchange for this place right now.

Because from an objective point of view, this archipelago region may soon become a burden to the royal family.

For such a place, it is not cost-effective to pile up resources to build a port area. Piling too many fleets will also be suspected of confrontation with White Eagle, which is not appropriate from the perspective of the alliance.

However, if a large fleet is not deployed, the safety of such a complex and almost unprotected archipelago will be difficult to guarantee.

"In fact, we just need to wait for a while. Maybe in about a year, someone here will get impatient. By that time, it will be easier to get the results you want. Besides, I think our fleet does not lack this year at the moment."

"Indeed, a year or so is not a short time for us. Moreover, if we have more time to prepare, we can also have more negotiation conditions. If we are well prepared, we should be able to significantly reduce the cost."

Yang Sikang agreed with a smile. He was wearing a simple shirt and shorts. Like Kewei, he was lying on a lounge chair on the beach, enjoying the beach which was now reserved by their fleet and the rare leisurely atmosphere.

"In that case..."

"But within a year, I don't have enough confidence to guarantee that our fleet will be able to maintain its current stable state until we achieve our goal."

Yang Sikang opened his eyes and looked at the girls on the beach who were building sand castles, playing volleyball, or simply wading in the water. He smiled and pointed with his finger:

"I hope our fleet can live easily and happily like this when they don't need to work and fight. Instead of preparing for battle when fighting, and preparing for work when working."

"Commander, objectively speaking, our fleet is already very strong."

"But it's not strong enough, far from enough..."

Yang Sikang said softly:

"And it's not enough to have a strong fleet. I hope that no matter how the situation changes or how powerful the opponent is, our fleet will be able to cope with it. I hope... all of us can stay together until..."

Yang Sikang's voice became smaller and smaller. Kewei turned around and asked doubtfully:

"Until what?"

Yang Sikang's expression changed slightly, and he smiled:

"Until the time comes when it doesn't matter whether I am the commander or not."

"what."

Kewei laughed:

"Wouldn't that mean there would never be a time like that?"

"That's not necessarily the case. For example, if the threat of the Sirens disappears completely and the world is at peace, then it won't matter whether I'm the commander or not. We can go wherever we want, travel around the world, see the sights we didn't have time to see before, and experience the different customs and cultures around the world."

"If that happens, you'll have a lot of work to do."

Kewei said with a smile, Yang Sikang turned around, and she explained with a bit of a smirk:

"Because, by that time everyone will definitely want to travel with you. In this case, you will have to accompany everyone once. You have a long way to go, Commander~"

Yang Sikang smiled and did not answer.
