Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

After hearing what Zuikaku said, Fuyue did not agree immediately.

She has always known about the history of Sakura Empire's ships. After joining Yang Sikang, she learned more in depth and also got to know the personalities of the corresponding ship girls.

Shokaku and Zuikaku of the 5th Carrier Battleship were historically the flagships after the 1st and 2nd Carrier Battleships were sunk, so there was no problem with their combat capability.

But the problem is that both Shokaku and Zuikaku of the 5th Carrier Fighter have great opinions about their predecessors, the 1st and 2nd Carrier Fighters, especially the 1st Carrier Fighter as the commander.

In addition, although Yang Sikang evaluated the 5th Carrier Fighter as a relatively easy-going and approachable type, Yang Sikang also emphasized during his introduction that the two members of the 5th Carrier Fighter only looked easy-going.

In fact, Shokaku is a very shrewd and scheming ship girl, but her gentle appearance hides this.

Zuikaku is inherently very arrogant and has a certain tendency to be a war maniac, and this tendency is exponentially magnified when he sees Enterprise in good shape.

Simply put, it was abnormal no matter how you looked at it because these two people came to help on their own initiative.

"Thank you for your kindness. You don't need to worry about the exercise."

Shen Yue bowed and solemnly rejected the two people.

Shokaku and Zuikaku were both stunned. As the Fifth Carrier, and a member of the main family, this was the first time they were rejected when they took the initiative to look for someone who was not even a commander.

"Hey, you don't know who we are, do you? But it doesn't matter, I'll introduce myself to you. I'm..."

Zuikaku spoke hastily, but Fuyue looked at her calmly and spoke first:

"Zuihe, the second ship of the Shokaku-class aircraft carrier, the prototype ship has a full load displacement of tons, and is one of the five carrier battleships. It sank the Lexington and severely damaged the Yorktown in the Battle of the Coral Sea, then hid in a tropical storm and was unscathed in the subsequent air raid.

The Hornet was sunk in the Battle of the South Pacific, and finally in the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the ship was hit by 7 bombs and 7 torpedoes, the hull tilted and could not be rescued, resulting in a huge explosion and sinking.

As a ship, he regards the White Eagle Carrier Enterprise and Lexington as the speed at which they will be defeated again sooner or later. Because of his optimistic personality, his obsession with the First Carrier Battle is much weaker than that of Shokaku. "

Futsuki spoke quickly and clearly, glanced at Shokaku next to Zuikaku, and said with a smile:

"I know your identities and abilities very well. After all, you were able to take over the title of the Fifth Carrier Battle after the First Carrier Battle, and you were the warriors who sent the other two Yorktown-class ships to the bottom of the sea besides the Gray Ghost Enterprise. Your combat abilities must be beyond doubt."

Zuikaku was very surprised now. Although she and her sister had discussed it before coming, and Shokaku had said at the time that the girl should have some knowledge of the history of their prototype ship, this girl could actually casually talk about her personality as a ship girl, which surprised her.

Before this, let alone with this girl, the Fifth Carrier had no direct contact with Yang Sikang.

The two sides had no contact, so the girl could only know her general personality traits from Yang Sikang, who was said to know all the ship girls very well.

"In that case, why did you refuse our help? You should understand that with our help, this exercise..."

"It is precisely because you two are so strong that I cannot accept it."

Shen Yue said seriously:

"I have thought about it carefully. My brother and I have never had any contact with you two before, and the price I can pay is not enough to make the Fifth Air Force take action.

There is no relationship basis, and there is no sufficient interest. You two may just be kind-hearted, but please forgive me for not being able to accept your kindness. "

Zuikaku looked at Futsuki in surprise, then suddenly turned to look at Shokaku.

Shokaku put down his teacup and said with a smile:

"But, Miss Shenyue, don't you even listen to what we want before you refuse? Maybe what we want is not that troublesome after all?"

Shen Yue shook her head:

"I'm worried that I won't be able to help but accept it after listening to it, so it's better not to listen to it."

Shen Yue spoke very decisively, without any hesitation at all.

Even Shokaku was surprised by her reaction, but he nodded and stood up.

"Since Miss Suzuki has made a firm decision, we will not disturb her for now. Of course, if Miss Suzuki changes her mind, the Fifth Air Force will be waiting for you at any time."

Zuikaku wanted to say something, but Shokaku took her away from the villa.

After the two left, Fuyuki breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed. Tosa, who had been watching from the side, asked:

"No matter what, the strength of the Fifth Air Force is guaranteed. Don't you regret it?"

"To be honest, I already feel a little regretful now, but I don't think I can accept it."

Shen Yue poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip of the hot tea to calm herself down, and then said:

"Sister Zhenhai and brother often mention a word called empathy. I just thought about it. If I were the Fifth Carrier, facing the current situation, what would be worthy for me, as a ship of the family, to take the initiative to come and help. But after thinking about it, I can only think of one possibility, that is the stage."

Fuyuki moved to the opposite side of Tosa and said:

"I know that this inspection was a deliberate arrangement by the Sakura Empire, but in the final analysis, these arrangements are due to two reasons. One is my brother, Commander Yang Sikang; the other is you, who defeated Tosa in the First Air Fleet."

"In fact, for the vast majority of people in the Sakura Empire, they don't know who Suzuki Fuyuki is, nor do they care. What's important is that Suzuki Fuyuki is the sister adopted and trained by Commander Yang Sikang.

But even so, this inspection activity has already attracted much attention due to the deliberate promotion of the Sakura Empire. Almost everyone in the Sakura Empire who pays attention to ships will have noticed this inspection activity.

And this is the only reason I can think of that would make the 5th Carrier Fighter come here on their own initiative. What they want is this highly-watched stage, and the Tosa that defeated the 1st Carrier Fighter on this stage. "

At this point, Shen Yue sighed:

"If I'm right, Shokaku's request should be to arrange the tactical plan with them as the core. The Fifth Carrier has this strength and value in terms of combat power, and in terms of conventional modern tactics, the aircraft carrier battle group system built with regular aircraft carriers as the core is also a very reliable method.

In this way, the 5th Carrier Fighter will get the opportunity to fight on the same stage with you, Tosa-sister, in the patrol exercise and demonstrate their abilities. I don't have a reliable fleet right now, so if they join, my chances of winning will increase a lot, and I will get the result of victory as a reward.

Perhaps Ms. Shokaku thinks this is a win-win situation for both sides."
