Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 1286: A fragile cooperation with different intentions

Prince Eugen knocked on the door, and without waiting for the person inside to respond, he pushed the door open and walked in.

In the room, Hipper and Bismarck were sitting face to face, but one was sitting on a chair and the other was sitting on the bed.

"Eugen, why are you here just now? The patrol team has discovered the battle reaction and confirmed the existence of the Purifier. It seems that they are already fighting now!"

"I know. I've already read the news on the way. You don't need to repeat the situation to me."

Prince Eugen walked over, but did not rush to start the discussion. Instead, he pulled a chair over and poured himself a cup of coffee.

"Well, I won't say any more nonsense. My decision is to leave it alone."

"what?!"

Hipper's eyes widened:

"Although we have cooperated with Siren before, that cooperation has long been dead in name only. Eugen, you don't think those guys still take those perfunctory cooperation to heart, right?"

"Of course not, my sister. I am not you."

Prince Eugen replied, and Hipper immediately slammed the table and stood up:

"What do you mean? You want to fight, idiot!"

Prince Eugen looked at Hipper and said leisurely:

"The battle in that direction is between the people sent by Commander Yang Sikang and the Sirens. We can find out the answer by confirming their departure location from Scapa Flow and combining it with the recent routes of all parties, right? The Sirens intercepted them midway, so the two sides are fighting, it's that simple."

Hipper glared at Eugen with resentment, then sat down.

"So is it appropriate to just leave it alone?"

"Of course it's appropriate, my sister~"

Prince Eugen smiled and said:

"If they are a team that can't even handle a small emergency, what can they do when they come to our side? If they can't even handle this, then they might as well run away now and save us from wasting time."

After saying this, Prince Eugen smiled again:

"But I have asked Tirpitz to lead a team to wait at the port, and we will go there when the battle is almost over. We sent Tirpitz specially, and he is just a little late. It's not a big problem, right?"

Bismarck, who was standing by, couldn't help but smile when he heard this:

"So, what if they see through your thoughts and don't intend to save your face, Eugen? Don't forget, they are here to temporarily take over my job. If you provoke them like this, it will be very troublesome if they are misunderstood."

"That's not something I want to consider. At worst, I'll just resign. If that happens, I'll just move in and be your roommate~"

Prince Eugen said it as if nothing had happened, but he was immediately given the cold shoulder by the other two people present.

"Since you have your own ideas, I don't care. Really, if I had known I wouldn't have come here."

Hipper stood up impatiently, but Prince Eugen said:

"Oh, that's right. Your name is on the fleet that's heading out to greet the guests, so it should be okay to head directly to the port now."

"Huh?! Why am I here? By the way, why don't I know about this myself?!"

"Of course I just added that, why else could it be?"

Prince Eugen frankly admitted that he was the instigator and said with a sly smile:

"Sister, come on~"

"Tsk, it's really troublesome!"

Although Hipper complained a lot, he still readily agreed to Eugen's arrangements.

So even though she left without answering whether she was going or not, Eugen was not worried at all.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else you haven't said, Eugen?"

Bismarck looked at Prince Eugen and asked. Eugen hesitated and sighed softly:

"I am a little worried, but not because of us. You know about the anchor."

"Anchor, hasn't it been decided yet?"

The Iron Blood side had naturally already received the news about Yang Sikang's folding technology and anchors, but after Prince Eugen discussed with Bismarck, the anchors that had been agreed with Yang Sikang were still lowered.

Eugen certainly considered reducing the number or changing the location, but after discussing with Bismarck, he finally chose to proceed according to the contract.

The reason why the two made this decision was very simple. If the ship girl sent by Yang Sikang was really capable of temporarily replacing Bismarck to fulfill Bismarck's wish of making the Iron Blood change its direction, then it would make no difference whether the position of the anchor dropped now was changed or not.

Instead of adding to the unhappiness between both parties, it is better to be straightforward and show the other party a better attitude.

"I don't know what that guy is doing recently, but his ship girls are quite active in Donghuang. In particular, the satellites in Donghuang are ready for launch."

Although the Royal Army and Iron Blood have good technology in shipbuilding, they are nothing but amateurs in aerospace.

The technology provided by Yang Sikang is the icing on the cake for Donghuang. For most of the processes, Donghuang’s own original facilities can be slightly adjusted to meet the needs. Satellite manufacturing technology is mature and the efficiency is first-class.

However, Royal and Iron Blood had to start from scratch, from setting up production lines, selecting sites, and building launch bases. Even with ready-made information, they could not catch up with Donghuang's progress in terms of efficiency.

But seeing that all parties were obviously making moves, it would be nonsense to say that Tiexue had no idea at all.

The relationship between Iron Blood and the Sirens is now very awkward. On the one hand, during Bismarck's time, he led Iron Blood to break away from Azur Lane and establish Red Axis, cooperating with the Sirens and learning technology from them, which allowed Iron Blood to develop rapidly and its technology grew extremely fast.

However, the disadvantages of cooperating with the Sirens are also great. In order to solve these problems, Bismarck knew that she had to leave the stage temporarily, so she pretended to be tricked, followed the Sirens' wishes, acted alone and was sunk by the Royal Fleet, replicating the ending of her own prototype ship.

Although she was forcibly dragged back to the port by U556 and survived, the current situation has become that the cooperation between Iron Blood and Siren has basically ceased. However, the two sides have not really torn their faces apart. It feels like each other knows that the other has ulterior motives, but still pretends to be partners.

But this state is very delicate and fragile. If the Red Axis cannot respond to the rapid growth of the Azur Lane camp, then another war between Azur Lane and Red Axis will become inevitable.

By that time, not to mention that the result Yang Sikang expected and the situation Bismarck wanted could not be achieved, it was not certain whether Iron Blood would have to continue to cooperate with Siren and lead itself to the abyss...

"Do not worry."

Bismarck said:

"Although I have never met the commander, at a time like this, you have no choice but to trust your own decision, right?"

Prince Eugen smiled and sighed helplessly:

"That's right..."

However, another Bismarck flashed through her mind. If things were really so bad that the Iron Blood had to seek external help...
