Chapter 877 Investigation and Special Exercise Proposal
Sheffield quietly left the manor and the port area.
Because she had just been to War-weary, no one would come to see her for the time being. And it was well known how good Sheffield, the maid, was at work outside of her job, so unless the royal family suspected that Sheffield had gone out, no one would come to see her.
No one wants Sheffield to suddenly take action, as no one can be sure whether she will suddenly discover something.
As for Yang Sikang, even without Sheffield, his daily life will not be affected, and it will be easier to hide the fact that she has left.
"Master, Sheffield's report."
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Belfast placed the routine documents in front of Yang Sikang.
Sheffield used encrypted communication equipment to send the information to Belfast, and Belfast sorted and arranged it and put it in front of Yang Sikang on time every day.
The information contained various contents, but most of them were related to the residents in some places near the coast on the royal side. They included but were not limited to historical rumors, traces left behind, and even some "relics" removed from certain ships in history.
The task that Yang Sikang assigned to Sheffield was mainly related to these things. After all, for the royal family, many of their historical ships were dismantled by the Labour Party after the war. There were very few complete ships left, and even fewer relics left. Most of them were rumors or legendary stories left by veterans who had served.
It is very difficult for these things to spread, and they are mostly limited to a certain area. After all, most of the people who are interested in the legendary stories of ordinary soldiers are those who already know them.
Therefore, these things need to be investigated on the spot. As for Yang Sikang, if he openly inquired about these things, even a fool would know what he was thinking, let alone the royal ship girls?
There are some true and some false stories, some of high quality and some of low quality. In addition, there are some video materials, most of which come from the places where the relics have long become tourist attractions.
The whole process lasted for more than a month, and during this period, Yang Sikang had begun to frequently go in and out of the royal port area, just as he was familiar with going to the office area in the home port when he was in White Eagle.
Just as Kewei said before, his social activities are really quite extensive.
The overall atmosphere on the Royal side is indeed much better than that on the White Eagle side. At least most of the commanders who can relax in the home port are willing to show their gentlemanly manners.
Perhaps they all knew about Yang Sikang's dealings with the people on the White Eagle side, and did this deliberately to contrast with the White Eagle. The subtext was probably this:
'See, we are the real civilized people, and those White Eagle guys are just some crude monkeys who have learned to handle guns!'
Of course, some of this was definitely due to the fact that Yang Sikang moved into the large manor. After all, a beautiful manor close to the port area, which belonged to the royal ship girls, became Yang Sikang’s asset as soon as he came to the royal family.
Anyone who is not a fool can see that this is the goodwill expressed by the Royal Ship Girls to Yang Sikang, and it is also a warning to those who have ulterior motives.
Yang Sikang was well aware of this, but he did not try to avoid it. Through these social activities during this month, with his covert promotion, the news that there were several strange ship girls in his fleet who even Yan Zhan did not recognize spread like wildfire and had quietly spread among the commanders' circle.
There is no need to wait for this information to spread too far. All he needs to do is plant some seeds that can support the scene in the early stages of the news spread. Others will naturally take the initiative to promote it for him afterwards.
After all, what the senior said was right: after I leave seclusion, there will be great scholars who will debate with me.
"Exercise request."
War-weary looked at the document in front of him and sighed inwardly.
"After all, we have been here for more than a month. You all thought about us and didn't even let us participate in patrol missions. But if you just spend your days leisurely in the manor like this, not only me, but even my ship girls can't stand it. After all, sorties involve your daily affairs, so it takes some time to understand. But as for exercises, it should be no problem, right?"
Yanzhan sighed again in her heart. Yang Sikang's words were a polite way of blocking all her reasons for refusal.
The ship girls in Yang Sikang's fleet have always been good at fighting and have a bit of bellicosity. When they are on the road, they often attack the Siren fleet they find, and their strength is beyond doubt. And it is indeed reasonable for such a fleet to ask for an exercise at this time.
But the exercise... Prince of Wales personally confirmed that the winning rate of Yang Sikang's fleet in the confrontation exercise with their headquarters' fleet has already reached a 50-50 level. If it is an actual combat including the command ship, the battle is basically 80-20.
Yang Sikang's fleet eight, no one can withstand the anti-ship missiles and main guns of the Gu Diao.
The tricky thing is that the fleet previously led by the Prince of Wales returned to the headquarters for rest and recuperation, and now there is no such strong headquarters fleet here.
"If you are worried about the intensity of the exercise, I have a rather informal but potentially beneficial suggestion. Would Ms. War-weary consider it?"
War-weary looked over with a smile:
"Of course. Go ahead."
Yang Sikang raised the corner of his mouth and said slowly:
"Let my fleet act as the enemy, and let the fleets of the Royal Commanders carry out a siege against us. The winning condition is that one side is determined to be unable to continue the battle. How do you think?"
This proposal made Yan Zhan raise her eyebrows. She immediately understood Yang Sikang's intention. However, as Yang Sikang said, this would be beneficial to them.
Most of the royal commanders were arrogant in character, especially when they knew that Yang Sikang's early ships were all royal ships, some extreme remarks never stopped.
It is not a bad thing to let Yang Sikang's fleet conduct exercises with them, as it can help them to face the reality and calm down to train themselves well.
As for whether they will lose confidence by being beaten, War-weary is not worried about this.
First of all, a guy who loses his confidence because of an exercise is not worthy of being a commander.
Secondly, the royal family is not a pushover. She believes that this exercise can also make Yang Sikang understand the royal family’s determination.
So she made a quick judgment.
"That's a good suggestion. I'll think about it and give you a response as soon as possible, okay?"
"Of course, I just came up with this idea today. I will go back and wait for your news."
Yang Sikang stood up, smiled and left.
