Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

"In other words, what you said was all to get the Royal Family to reduce their research in these areas and slow down their research?"

Yang Sikang nodded:

"It is impossible to completely stop them. Even if they agree verbally, they will still do research behind the scenes. As long as they have this idea, it is impossible to prevent them, so we can only solve it in another way."

"If they can get more obvious results in their collaboration with me, with lower risks and higher visible returns, and if research in those areas is progressing slowly and the benefits are unpredictable, then they are more likely to give up those dangerous things based on the benefits."

"Profits come first, that's what capital is."

Belfast smiled, but then sighed.

Although she is not from the royal family, she was born into the royal family after all. Not long ago, she was looking at her prototype ship by the Thames and talking to her own family self.

And now, among those who are carrying out this dangerous task may be her main family and their maids. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.

"I didn't expect to see you look like this. This is really rare."

Yang Sikang said with a smile, and Belfast, having come to his senses, immediately regained his composure.

"Master, this is not something to be praised. Please don't tell others."

"The head maid's little secret?"

"It's a little secret that only the master can know."

Belfast said wittily, but recovered in the next second.

"Master, if this matter is carried out by our headquarters, it is very likely that Her Majesty the Queen will be personally supervising it. In this case, there is a high possibility that I, a member of our family, will be involved. Although it was only a brief contact, after what you said today, I am afraid..."

"I know your abilities very well, so I also know that after what I said today, the fact that my source of information is incorrect will be discovered soon."

"Then, could you please let me take charge of this matter?"

Belfast asked, and Yang Sikang thought for a moment:

"Are you planning to fight with your own family?"

"Although it's not a wise move, if there is anyone in our fleet who knows me best, it can only be me."

Belfast said frankly, and Yang Sikang could only smile bitterly and sigh:

"Although I expected this to happen, I still think we should try to avoid it from happening."

"Haha, Master, you don't have to worry. It's not wise, but fortunately, I don't have to work on it alone."

Yang Sikang smiled, nodded and said:

"So, remember to speak up immediately when things get difficult to handle."

"Yes, Master."

Belfast saluted gracefully and left the office.

At the same time, in another place in the royal palace, the battleship Queen Elizabeth, who had just finished a call, opened the document sent by Warspite and took a few glances at it, then frowned.

"Befa, come and take a look at this. I think this shouldn't be my illusion. What he said seems to be directed at us?"

Elizabeth called Belfast over, who quickly but completely read through the entire conversation recorded by Guanghui, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, Your Majesty. This is exactly what I am saying to you. It seems that the research you are supervising has been discovered by him."

"It was only a matter of time before it was discovered. We had anticipated this from the beginning. But according to our calculations, it shouldn't have been exposed so early. We had clearly chosen the most suitable location and completed the preparations bit by bit over multiple times. Even the manpower was divided into small groups and sent over in batches. How could it have been exposed?"

"That commander has his own unique side in intelligence."

Belfast said tactfully, and Elizabeth immediately remembered what she had said before.

"You spoke highly of him after you met him before. I remember you said at the time that he had unimaginable and epoch-making technology?"

"Yes."

"Well, what's the evidence?"

"I'm very sorry, I don't have any relevant evidence. I'm just guessing based on his attitude and the situation in his fleet."

Belfast answered and Elizabeth nodded:

"It's not your fault. After all, he has you on his side too."

Elizabeth thought for a moment, then asked:

"What do you think of what he said?"

"If your majesty wishes, we can pretend that we don't know anything. Although it is incredible that he can get this information, I think it is limited to some special sources of intelligence at most, and he cannot know your specific arrangements.

Therefore, as long as you do not admit it, he cannot have more accurate evidence. "

"What if there is?"

"If there is, Miss Glory will receive it in the next few days."

Belfast smiled and said:

"Judging from the commander's recent performance, he is indeed a little anxious. After the previous conversation, Miss Yuanchou seems to be even more excited. I think it is more likely that Miss Yuanchou did not do as he said, but deliberately activated her Mind Cube Network."

"You mean to say that there is a possibility that he will have to build it?"

"Yes."

"This is bad for us, but it will also affect his external image. Will both sides get hurt..."

Elizabeth thought for a moment, then frowned and looked at the documents on the desk:

"Befa, I leave this matter to you. Deal with him first and test his reaction. We have made some progress in our research. As long as we can get some initial results, we will be able to get ahead of others. The technological development of the royal family cannot be completely controlled by others, even for a time traveler like him."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Belfast gladly accepted the job, but then Elizabeth said:

"But you understand, Befa. Since we are dealing with him, the person you will be contacting will be you in his fleet."

"Haha, of course. But even so, I won't be soft-hearted."

"I have no doubts about your loyalty, but remember, no matter what the problem is, as long as there is a risk, tell me. His value is high, but no matter what, it can't compare to you for us."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
