Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life
Chapter 52 First visit to Donghuang
Early the next morning, Yang Sikang went to find Lexington and the others.
A few days later, the time for the escort mission was finalized, and the list of participants was finally completely determined.
Because Yang Sikang had told Belfast and the others to greet some of the commanders through what he learned before, the remaining ones did not specifically spend time with them.
Counterattack was obviously very interested in his first escort commission, and he often went to the maritime shooting range in the port area to practice artillery fire for several days.
The reputation is similar to Belfast's attitude. She is more concerned about Yang Sikang's safety than being interested in the escort commission.
After some assurances and persuasion from Javelin and Belfast, Reputation finally felt at ease.
The things that were agreed upon before were gradually prepared in the next few days, and the ship that Yang Sikang asked Lexington and the others finally got permission.
The two mass-produced destroyers can easily enter the escort team, but they are actually used to load things for them.
Probably to compensate for the attack, this matter was handled extremely easily.
Taking advantage of the time before departure, Yang Sikang took a few people to go shopping from time to time and buy some things they might need. During this period, I also found opportunities to send things to be loaded onto the ship one after another.
But what no one knows is that there is actually something else installed in the ship's installation space of the three of them in Belfast.
The night before departure, Yang Sikang and Belfast came to the office on the second floor together.
But this time it was not a casual chat. Yang Sikang took out a prepared folder and solemnly handed it into Belfast's hands.
"Here is the information I know and the portrait I drew. You can take your time and read it while you are on the road. After all, I don't know who you will actually meet when you get there. I have already prepared the gifts. Okay, they’re all in the garage, take them away before you set off.”
"Master, can you build Donghuang's ship girl?"
Yang Sikang looked at Belfast strangely and replied honestly:
"I don't know, I haven't tried it. But I think it should be possible. Why do you ask this suddenly?"
"I would like to ask if there is any ship girl you particularly like over there in Donghuang. If so, you can take this opportunity for me to go say hello to them or something."
Yang Sikang was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing:
"I don't have any special ideas, but I do have someone who wants to remind you."
Yang Sikang raised his chin as he spoke. Belfast opened the folder and took out a piece of paper from the first page, with several heads drawn on it and names written on it.
"If you meet Zhenhai on this trip, be careful. Miss Zhenhai is very smart and can easily be fooled if you are not careful. There is also the one in the second line, Fushun. If you find her, especially if you find her If she appears around the ship you are on, find someone to arrest her immediately, it can be Zhenhai, Yixian or Anshan, don't let her play tricks."
After thinking for a while, Yang Sikang added:
"But if you meet Zhenhai, you may not meet the other people up there."
Belfast looked emphatically at Zhenhai's portrait. Judging from the portrait alone, she looked like a gentle woman.
"It seems that this Miss Zhenhai is not simple."
"You always have to be careful when dealing with smart people. You can always be careful. But how to deal with it specifically depends on your own adaptability."
"Please rest assured, master."

The process of escorting is a boring thing but you can't let your guard down.
During the month-long voyage, although they passed through many defensive areas in the port area, fighting with the Sirens was still unavoidable during the ocean voyage.
Fortunately, these routes have been confirmed and discussed in advance, and have been cleared recently.
Most of the sirens encountered were scattered mass-produced types, and only two or three humanoid sirens such as Explorers were encountered.
After more than a month of sailing, the fleet finally arrived near the port of Donghuang.
After arriving in Donghuang territory, the escort mission was taken over by the Donghuang Navy, and the escort fleet girls were able to return to the ship for some repairs at this time.
Belfast noticed that the situation of the ship girls and the navy in Donghuang seemed to be different from the tense atmosphere in White Eagle. It was relatively more harmonious here, and many ordinary people could be seen on the edge of the port. They come and go, but the ones patrolling are still the ship girls.
For some unknown reason, most of the ship girls in Donghuang are White Eagle ship girls and royal ship girls.
She had already read the document given by Yang Sikang before departure, but she had not seen any of the Donghuang ship girls mentioned above in the patrol team.
"As the master said, there is something strange here in Donghuang."
Generally speaking, this does not mean that ship girls from other countries cannot be built, but due to various factors, most of the ship girls that are built are from their own country.
But there were obviously ship girls from different countries in Donghuang. On the contrary, Donghuang's ship girls did not appear at the port at all.
Belfast couldn't help but think of what Yang Sikang highlighted in the information in the folder. Among them, both Bai Ying and Huang Huang mentioned the word 'mysterious' many times in their evaluations of Donghuang. When she read it at that time, I was a little confused, but now I understand.
She looked at an inconspicuous building in the port. From the window over there, she should be able to see the situation of the port well, right?
Belfast saw the staff from the side who were about to stop them from entering the inner unloading area. She called on her reputation and counterattack and jumped off the ship. Then she greeted the other party elegantly and politely, and then said:
"Hello, these two destroyers carry our cargo and need to be unloaded inside. If you need to inspect it, you can feel free to do it. Can you let us in?"
The staff obviously did not expect that someone would use the destroyer to load cargo, but he could not make the decision on this matter. He could only ask his superiors for instructions and then received a permission reply.
Unlike the cargo ships that need to enter the unloading area of the internal test, the ship girls of the escort fleet want to go to the dock in the outer port area.
As a temporary change of course, this voyage was different from the past, but soon the ship girls relaxed again.
Donghuang used practical actions to let them know what it means to feel at home.
In just half a day, the White Eagle ship girls relaxed in the port area, and because they could see many ship girls who also belonged to White Eagle near the port, the atmosphere became quite good.
At the same time, in Minato's office, a black-haired woman raised her head in surprise and looked at the person in front of her who had just finished reporting.
"You mean, the royal shipgirl was discovered in White Eagle's escort fleet?"
"Yes."
The soldier who came to report had beads of sweat on his forehead, his breathing was a little accelerated, and he obviously ran over quickly.
In White Eagle's escort fleet, three royal ship girls suddenly appeared.
Not only that, these three ship girls also left the main force with two escorting destroyers and docked at the unloading side of the port area.
These abnormal situations naturally attracted the attention of the soldiers in the port area, and after a short observation, they discovered something even more disturbing: the leading ship girl was actually wearing a maid uniform.
Royal maids are so famous that their maid uniforms are like their trademark.
Belfast's temperament is also one of the best among the maids. Just from a distance, you can notice that this maid is unusual.
More importantly, two other ship girls suspected to be armed with swords were guarding her on both sides.
This combination attracted the attention of the people below, which led to the current scene.
The woman behind the desk thought for a moment and nodded:
"Invite someone to say hello to them and ask why they are here. I will be there shortly, so don't neglect the guests."
"Yes!"
The soldier left quickly, and the black-haired woman frowned slightly, stood up, walked to the window, and opened the curtains a crack.
From this angle, the location of the port can be seen, but the three royal ship girls in the report are not in that direction.
If it was on the other side of the unloading area, it was indeed possible that she could not see the other party's position, but the destroyer docked at the edge of the port but not unloading could get a glimpse of it.
"It is indeed White Eagle's mass-produced destroyer. How can it be with the Royal Ship Girl?"
Baiying has a good relationship with the royal family, but even if the port of departure is temporarily changed, it will only be a change in the waters within Baiying's territory, and it will not require help from the royal family.
What's more, even if there are royal ship girls who need to go with them on business and come with the escort fleet, they should be notified in advance.
The mass-produced model used should also be the royal family's own.
The woman turned around and sat in front of the computer, quickly entering keywords on the keyboard to search for information in the database, and soon several scattered messages appeared on the screen.
Most of it was inconsequential stuff, but there were two pieces of information that caught her attention.
"Did a commander who built a royal ship girl appear in White Eagle's port area?"
The two messages were self-contradictory, and there were many conflicts in their contents. She could tell at a glance that these two messages were the product of tabloids adding fuel to the eye.
In terms of credibility, both sides are half-matched, and they all come from some second-rate channels that cannot be put on the table.
However, the core content is completely the same. I am afraid that a guy who can build a royal ship girl has really appeared in Baiying's port area.
Donghuang is also a member of the Azur Lane camp, but compared to the more active White Eagle and Royal, Donghuang's external image is more mysterious.
But this does not mean that Donghuang has no information. Mystery and isolation are two different things.
"At this time, they came to the door..."
The woman realized that this matter might not be simple. The three royal ship ladies were probably not here simply to complete the escort mission.
But she didn't feel nervous at all. The other party came to her door, and it was still on the territory of Donghuang. There was no reason to be afraid of anything.
What's more, this may also be an opportunity for them to get in touch with that strange commander, and maybe they can get some information from these ship girls.
She thought quickly in her mind, and before going out, she took out her personal terminal and conducted a communication:
"Yixian? I encountered some unscheduled situations here. Please take care of the ship girls in the port area for the time being and prevent our ship girls from coming to the port for the time being. Yes, let them stay in the room first Just stay here. No, I can handle it."
At the same time, inside the mass-produced destroyer, Reputation and Counterattack were following Belfast, classifying the things stored here and affixing notes that had been prepared.
Following Yang Sikang's instructions, when they were about to arrive, they took out the special cargo stored in the ship's installation space and mixed it into the cargo originally stored in the cabin. They were now labeling these things.
Although they didn’t know why they had to wait until someone noticed before posting the note, the two of them still obeyed the order and completed this boring task conscientiously.
The content on the note is in both English and Chinese, but the source of knowledge of ship girls is different from ordinary people, and they can also understand Chinese.
The contents of the goods are obviously printed on the box, so why go to the trouble of labeling the items that are taken out later?
"After posting these, you can go shopping with Reputation."
Belfast said suddenly and finished pasting the last note in her hand.
Putting away the remaining papers, Belfast walked to the deck:
"By the way, remember to disembark from the other side. This is the commander's arrangement. Just leave the rest to me."
"Good~"
Counterattack responded cheerfully, enjoying it even though Reputation seemed to have some doubts about it.
Although they are sisters, their counterattack personalities and reputations are different.
She was originally more lively and active, and the port area of Donghuang had a completely different atmosphere from Bai Ying's.
She had already been very curious about this place, so she naturally agreed with Belfast's permission.
As for prestige, after hearing Belfast say that this was the commander's arrangement, she accepted it.
Seeing his sister's cheerful expression, Shengsheng had no choice but to remind:
"Don't forget the few people the commander asked us to pay attention to. If you see them, remember them."
"I know, I know, how could I forget what the commander told me? Sister, you are too worried~"
On the other side, Belfast, who walked onto the deck, stood behind the railing and his eyes fell on the lady not far away who was looking up at him.
Her silky black hair, dark red eyes, and body proportions were stunning even in Belfast.
On a pair of long legs wrapped in black thigh-high socks, there is a pair of white high heels. The clothes on her body are also in black and white, but she can easily control this kind of clothes.
Belfast knew that this woman was the person the commander had asked her to keep an eye on before setting off on her trip.
She stepped off the boat, came to the man, and then saluted gracefully before the man spoke:
"Gui'an, Miss Zhenhai. I am the second ship of the Royal Edinburgh class, Belfast. This is our first meeting. Please give me some advice."
A few days later, the time for the escort mission was finalized, and the list of participants was finally completely determined.
Because Yang Sikang had told Belfast and the others to greet some of the commanders through what he learned before, the remaining ones did not specifically spend time with them.
Counterattack was obviously very interested in his first escort commission, and he often went to the maritime shooting range in the port area to practice artillery fire for several days.
