Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 1683: Hidden Communication and Cooperation

Iron Blood, Maritime Port Area.

Frederick looked at the report in front of him, smiled softly and threw it aside:

"Has the commander arrived at the Northern Union?"

"Aurora suddenly left the front line, and the ship girl who was supposed to be there from Donghuang didn't show up either, so they temporarily changed the personnel to take over. If the commander hadn't already arrived at the Northern Union, then the Northern Union and Donghuang must have gone crazy together."

Hu Teng leaned back in his chair and said lazily:

"This is different from the commander's plan we learned before. Apparently he changed his mind at the last minute. The Northern Alliance is probably going alone again."

She looked at Frederick in front of her and asked:

"How long are we going to play with those people here? This should be enough, right?"

"I know you want to go back, but it's not the right time yet. The commander has given us the task of changing the Iron Blood and handing it over to Bismarck smoothly. The timing is not right yet. Only when the real hidden troubles emerge on their own, can we say that we have changed this place."

Frederick answered calmly and reminded:

"Don't forget, Commander, there is still work to be done here. At least until those people are built, Bismarck cannot stay in this position, otherwise it will be difficult for her to handle subsequent matters."

"I know, but isn't this place too boring?"

Hu Teng frowned slightly:

"You've been deliberately not letting me go out on recent missions. Why?"

"Because there's no need."

Frederick replied:

"Keep calm, you will naturally have your chance to shine later. It will be more convenient if you appear less often and let some people have some illusions. Haha, if you are always out there, they won't dare to show up, and we will have to stay longer."

Frederick looked at Hutten with an impatient look on his face with a smile on his face, and said playfully with the corner of his mouth raised:

"Of course, if you really care, I can also take you to visit the Northern Union."

"No need."

Hu Teng decisively refused and turned his head away:

"I'm going back to rest first."

Watching Hutten leave, Frederick shook his head. She certainly knew why Hutten was in a bad mood recently. On the one hand, she did deliberately keep Hutten from going out and participating in the war recently, for the reason she just mentioned. On the other hand, when Hutten was free, it was natural for her to take the initiative to deal with some logistical matters, and it was natural for her to learn about the latest situation in the fleet from other ship girls who were delivering important supplies.

For example, a certain White Eagle's battleship has been very close to the commander recently, and it seems that it is ready to take the initiative to attack.

Frederick knew very well that Hutten's psychology was more due to his dissatisfaction with the situation here and his restlessness because he had nothing to do. However, it was impossible for her to disrupt the plan in progress just because Hutten was unhappy.

However, Hu Teng's reminder was not groundless. The changes in the situation on Tiexue's side were indeed beyond her initial expectations. Moreover, the Donghuang commander specially arranged by Yang Sikang also grew rapidly in the process of serving as a bridge of communication between Tiexue and Donghuang.

Frederick knew what was going on and had already figured out the problems that needed to be solved. Now, it all came down to a test of patience on the Iron Blood side to see which side could hold its breath longer.

During this period, Frederick naturally could not just waste time with those people. It was just that Frederick deliberately did not hand over some things to Hutten.

"However, the commander actually went to the Northern Union at this time. I don't know if he heard some news or it was his keen intuition. Haha, it's a pity that I can't see with my own eyes the reaction of the people of the Northern Union when they suddenly see him."

Frederick muttered softly, chuckled and shook his head, then he calmed himself down and opened the communication channel at the right time:

"Good afternoon, Frederick the Great."

On the projection screen, an almost pure white figure suddenly appeared. Frederick smiled and responded:

"Good afternoon, Soviet confederate."

"We can provide what you want." The Soviet Alliance got straight to the point: "But how can you guarantee that we can get what you promised?"

"There is no way to guarantee it. The only thing I can guarantee is my own reputation. Of course, if you are not assured, you can give up this cooperation."

Frederick answered bluntly:

"Due to various factors, these things are destined to be carried out secretly. This is a very valuable thing for you and me, but it is also a gamble, no matter you or me. I will not have any advantage over you in this gamble, and when I fail, my result will not be better than yours."

Frederick smiled calmly:

"As for whether or not to participate, it is your freedom. I can only provide an opportunity, and I don't intend to provide anything extra on top of this opportunity, because I need to take risks just like you."

Frederick's answer did not change the Soviet Union's expression. The leader of the Northern Alliance just nodded slightly, and then made a decisive decision:

"We can provide all the information and items you want, but it's not easy to avoid other people's eyes, and it will be very troublesome for us if someone leaks the information during the transportation process."

"I understand. My original plan was for us to complete the exchange in batches using a small fleet in the polar region, but there should be a better option now."

Frederick's words startled the Soviet ally at first, but she immediately understood:

"That Commander Yang?"

"That's right. If we can get his help and borrow his warp system, it won't be a problem."

The Soviet Alliance frowned slightly:

"It seems that Iron Blood knows a lot about his affairs... No, I overlooked it. The satellites that make up his warp system already have parts launched by Iron Blood. It would be strange if you didn't know anything about it. However, this would expose our cooperation to him."

"We have no problem at all." Frederick said confidently, "As long as we can achieve our goal, a little reputational impact is of no importance."

The Soviet looked at Frederick and replied:

"Okay, then I will arrange for someone to communicate with the commander. But if he refuses, or if something unexpected happens, we will stick to the original plan."

"no problem."

Frederick answered directly. Although he was somewhat concerned about her reaction, the Soviet allies over there obviously did not have much free time at the moment.

The communication between the two ended quickly, and after it ended, Frederick leaned back in his chair, recalling the details of the previous communication, confirming whether he had done anything wrong.

"She has shown what she should show. She is not a careless person. Even if she didn't notice it at the time, she will definitely notice something unusual afterwards. As long as she realizes that I might have a special relationship with the commander, then it will be easy to deal with... Hehe, who will be the next person to see the commander? Herself? Or..."

Frederick opened his eyes and had a definite candidate in mind.

"Now it should be her."

On the other side, after ending the communication, the Soviet Alliance reviewed the brief exchange just now, and after thinking about it, they contacted a ship girl.

"Aurora, there is a special mission that needs to be communicated to Commander Yang Sikang. Send Tallin to do it."
