Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 884: Encirclement and Suppression War Exercise (6)

The monarch's self-introduction had an extremely significant psychological impact on the Prince of Wales. All the questions that had puzzled her before were answered at this moment, but the Prince of Wales' mood became more complicated.

She turned her head to look in the direction of Yang Sikang and opened her mouth but said nothing.

At the same time, Yang Sikang was controlling the Gu Diao to cooperate with the submarine and Neptune to encircle Zhan Yan.

The rich combat experience plus the greatly enhanced and upgraded new ship equipment resulted in extremely high adaptability and maneuverability, while the Gu Diao was restricted. As a result, although it was surrounded, War-weary was still able to maneuver.

But she was not too relaxed, because Neptune could keep up with her speed. The trident was sometimes used as a cold weapon to attack her directly, and sometimes it was waved to attack, which was really difficult to guard against.

However, War-weary was clearly more skilled in this area. Her greatsword did not seem heavy at all, and she dealt with Neptune's attacks easily. She could even counterattack from time to time, forcing Neptune to dodge, while the slashes she made could cause some interference to the battle on the other side.

Neptune seemed very happy in the battle, and seemed to be enjoying the game with Warspite. Warspite's skills and actions made the three submarine girls feel competitive, and they were determined to hit Warspite so that he would be judged as sunk.

On the other side of the battlefield, Glory had no choice but to rely on obstacles and wreckage to resist, but with the reunion of the ship girls on Yang Sikang's side, the difference in the number of carrier-based aircraft had almost completely caused her to lose air superiority.

Without air superiority, the performance of the aircraft carrier was severely limited. The more serious problem was what happened after Helena, Shucheng and Yubari joined together.

Her communication channel was heavily interfered with and she could no longer maintain normal communication with others.

Without the glorious command, the Prince of Wales had been judged to be sunk, and Warspite could only barely cope with the siege of Yang Sikang and others while trying to let the mass-produced type and others contain George V and Howe and others. Under such circumstances, the remaining commanders of the Royal Family who had not lost their qualifications on the field had essentially no command, and they were facing...

The Donghuang ship girls led by Zhenhai and Yixian.

Thus, an hour later, the last few ships of the Royal Fleet were covered in dye amidst the swarm of carrier-based aircraft and were judged to be sunk.

The exercise was over, but for both the original attackers and defenders, it was obviously not the kind of encirclement and suppression war they had initially expected.

"Although we lost the exercise, I feel very happy."

War-weary looked at the new commanders who were having a lively discussion together after the operation with a smile on his face.

These commanders did not become depressed by the unilateral beating, which made it a successful exercise for the Royal Family.

Although losing the exercise is definitely not as satisfying as winning, but...

"Commander Yang, why does the Prince of Wales seem a little strange?"

The Prince of Wales behaved out of character after the exercise. She did not discuss the events of the exercise and left quickly after hurriedly saying goodbye and returning to the port. She seemed a little anxious, and considering the result of having just lost the exercise, it seemed like she was fleeing.

But War-weary knew very well that the Prince of Wales was not of such a character, and she was the person who had the most contact with Yang Sikang's fleet. Before the exercise began, she said that even if they had an absolute advantage in the number of ships in this exercise, they might not necessarily win.

So she was a little puzzled by the Prince of Wales's departure, but Yang Sikang knew the reason very well.

He smiled and saw Guanghui coming over, so he raised his hand to signal Monarch and Neptune to stand next to him.

"I'll let the monarch explain the reason for the Prince of Wales's hasty departure. Your Majesty, Neptune, please introduce yourself."

The monarch looked at War-weariness and spoke:

"I was one of the abandoned plans for the King George V class battleship, now named Sovereign."

War-weary and Glory were both stunned, and the latter immediately turned his head to look behind him.

Although the monarch's voice was not loud, when the women gathered together, the commanders in the rear temporarily stopped their discussion. It was obvious that they had heard what he said clearly.

A group of young royal commanders stared at this side with their eyes wide open, stunned. Their confused looks fully demonstrated their disbelief at what they had just heard.

The abandoned plans for the 406mm King George V class, that is to say, at least those past plans without considering costs and treaties.

But as Royal commanders, they were all well aware of the history of the Royal's famous King George V class, and those abandoned plans were never actually built.

In other words, this powerful battleship girl is one whose prototype ship only exists in her ideals and is only at the theoretical level of design!

"Glorious, take care of it."

"clear."

Guanghui bowed politely and left to make arrangements for the commanders. There was no doubt that the monarch's true identity could not be spread out casually. Although it could not be concealed, it could not be exposed when they were unprepared.

War-weary looked towards the monarch and unexpectedly gave her a salute.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty. Although it's not appropriate for me to talk about the past, if you have any complaints about the Royal Family, you are welcome to do so. After all, it is an unchangeable fact that the Royal Family chose the current KGV in history, and the Royal Family will still support them now."

The attitude of war-weariness is sincere, but it also shows that the King George V class and the like will not be abandoned for the monarch just because she is the embodiment of a plan once abandoned by the royal family.

Although this is a bit of an unfounded worry, Yang Sikang also understands why Yan Zhan did this. As an Elizabeth-level official, she must express her own attitude on behalf of the royal family in the absence of Elizabeth.

"I have no interest in the Royal Family. I am not your ship anyway, and your affairs have nothing to do with me. As for KGV, although I firmly believe that I am a better solution than them, I am not interested in doing anything ridiculous to force others to give up their ships."

The monarch paused here and stopped talking, as if he felt that he had said too much and felt embarrassed.

Although it was a bit embarrassing, she still turned her head away stubbornly and didn't look at this side.

War-weary breathed a sigh of relief. What she was most worried about was that the monarch would harbor resentment towards several of his companions in the King George V class because of his own experiences. After all, the fact that Yang Sikang could have built the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York's ships but never did was almost known to everyone in the royal family.

Fortunately, things didn't get to the point of being embarrassing.
