Azur Lane Mobile Front

A blush rose to Yi Xian's face. She spat at Zhen Hai and quickly changed the subject back.

"Heh~ What, you still think you can run away?"

Zhenhai rolled his eyes at Yixian and continued, "Our little commander is quite naive. If you don't act quickly, that royal head maid might get her before you do!"

"Don't change the subject, talk about yourself."

"Well, I'll be done soon! Want your best friend to lend you a hand? I don't mind!"

Having now secured the most important position in the entire fleet, Zhenhai had completely forgotten her previous sourness.

"Hey, you little hussy~"

Yi Xian, who had been teased several times, finally couldn't hold back any longer and reached out to tickle Zhen Hai's waist.

Zhenhai, which was ambushed, was naturally not to be outdone and quickly launched a counterattack.

For a moment, the aisle of the white wooden horse was filled with the cheerful laughter of the two best friends.

...

The two laughed and played around for a while until they were both a little out of breath, then they stopped.

The two beautiful women from Donghuang were slightly sweaty as they walked up the stairs, panting.

Judging from the looks of it, the "battle" between the two just now was quite intense.

After tidying themselves up, the two continued walking side by side.

This time, the two looked much more serious, and their voices became barely audible.

Seemingly discussing something important, Zhenhai opened the door to a living room, and the two of them went in one after the other.

What the two were plotting in the room remains unknown for now; let's turn our attention back to the main characters.

After leaving the bridge, Rob wandered around and finally encountered Cardinal Richelieu of the Free Iris near the hangar.

Richelieu was surveying everything on the ship while playing with the kitten he had just received.

Richelieu!

Seeing that the other party hadn't noticed him for a while, Rob simply spoke up to attract their attention.

"Huh? Commander!"

Richelieu, who was called over, looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was the commander he had just met. He quickly smiled and greeted him.

“Miss Richelieu, you seem to really like this gift.”

Upon discovering that the other person was still holding the cat he had just given her, Rob couldn't help but sigh, the head maid was always so reliable.

"Hmm~"

Richelieu had no idea how the Commander had found out about her little hobby, but when Rob brought it up to her face, she could only nod slightly and admit that she was a cat lover.

"I wonder what business the Commander has with me?"

Sensing that the other person seemed to have something to say, Richelieu simply brought it up first.

Richelieu felt that his commander had a specific purpose in mind, as the two ships had just arrived at the port.

"Could you tell me about Iris's situation?"

Walking alongside the blonde beauty, Rob asked the question directly.

The matter of the Iris Kingdom will have to be dealt with sooner or later. The sooner we understand the specific situation, the sooner we can make a plan.

Moreover, Robb did not believe that the cardinal who was running around would only have himself as an option in his plans.

"Of course. However, it's probably a rather complicated matter to explain."

"It's okay, I have plenty of time now."

"Oh well..."

Richelieu organized his thoughts and began to explain to Rob in detail.

As is well known, the Iris Theocracy was defeated by the Ironblood offensive with almost no respectable resistance.

However, it is worth noting that in this world where the navy is supreme, Iris still suffered a crushing defeat on the ground, leading to the destruction of the nation and the loss of its people.

"Wait, are you saying that the Iris Theocracy was defeated by the Iron-Blooded Army?"

"That's right, is there a problem?"

"Miss Richelieu, do you think... in this worldview, is the army still that important? Why does Ironblood focus so much on developing the army instead of developing the navy?"

"this..."

Richelieu was speechless for a moment; he had never thought about this question before.

It was as if it were a matter of course; probably, apart from the commander in front of him, no one would consider the posture of the Iris Theocracy in its defeat.

"What is the reason behind this inexplicable obsession with restoring history?"

Rob realized that he seemed to have grasped a glimpse of the truth of the world.

There is an invisible hand that is controlling the course of history.

Thus, the Ironbloods' previous actions, and even their actions in the more distant past, as well as the Royal Family's various suppressions of the Ironbloods, all become understandable.

Because in the history that Rob knew from his previous life, this was the course of history!

"Let's not talk about that for now, Miss Richelieu. What are your plans for the future? I remember the Iris Theocracy still has quite a few troops in Africa, doesn't it?"

“That’s right, Commander. In my previous plan, it was necessary to regroup the troops in Africa.”

Without any attempt to conceal his ulterior motives, Richelieu openly revealed his entire plan.

After seeing the strength of this port area, she no longer needed to have so many concerns.

As long as the commander in front of her can give her enough support, her homeland will surely be able to stand on the world stage again.

Chapter 98: Not only must we protect them, but we must also make them believe they are protected.

She probably felt that such a short time was not enough to explore the port area. There were many ships in the port, especially the Fushun, and she strongly requested to spend the night on the ship. She wanted to have a big adventure!

Zhenhai was probably in a good mood and didn't stop him, so Luo Bo had no choice but to go along with her wishes. He told her to keep a close eye on Fushun and then led everyone back to the port area.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Zhenhai sent a message hoping that Luo Bo could get to the port immediately.

Judging from the tone of his voice, it must be something quite important.

Upon hearing this, Rob quickly tidied himself up and, without even having breakfast, immediately set off for the port.

When he arrived at the berth where the white wooden horse had been parked the day before, with the head maid, the entire port was already packed with people.

Wow, this is really lively!

Looking at the endless sea of ​​people before him, Luo Bo had to consider how he should get to Zhenhai.

In this situation, expecting everyone to make way for you is unrealistic.

It should be noted that those who watch the spectacle are usually in a state of indifference to life and death.

Not to mention that most people don't even know Rob, the port commander, even if they did, they probably wouldn't pay him much attention.

"Master, since there are people maintaining order here, there will naturally be a special passage for you to pass through~"

As a warship, Belfast naturally has much better eyesight than Roborock.

Pushing through the crowd, she immediately spotted the coastal defense troops who were forming a line on the shore to separate the onlookers.

“You’re right, let’s go find the coastal defense forces first.”

With a little effort, Rob found the person in charge of this coastal defense force.

To his surprise, Yi Xian was also there.

"Good morning, Commander and Miss Belfast. This is the commander of the troops on the field."

After greeting the two men, Yi Xian generously introduced the man beside her, who looked quite serious and was dressed as a military officer, to Luo Bo.

"Hello, I am Rob, the port commander."

Rob stepped forward and shook hands with the other party, after which the two sides began to discuss the current situation.

According to Yixian's account, Zhenhai's idea was that since so many people had come, they might as well give them a proper demonstration of Donghuang's latest power.

It's worth noting that Donghuang had just suffered a Siren attack not long ago.

Although the attack did not cause too much damage due to the unicorn's incredible power, it still affected people's hearts to some extent.

"I see, I understand now."

This was not something difficult to understand. After Yixian and the coastal defense commander next to him explained it to him, Luo Bo understood what Zhenhai was planning.

Having just experienced the attack, the people are afraid, afraid that no one can protect them.

Even though Rob's current strength is enough to deal with the Sirens' attack, the masses don't know that!

Therefore, he needs to flex his muscles to let the public know that someone can protect them and put their minds at ease.

From the public's perspective, the huge unidentified warship that appeared yesterday was a perfect opportunity.

Ordinary people don't understand weapons and equipment, but the aesthetic of bigger is better and more is more beautiful is universal.

"How about I hold a 'naval review' too?"

Rob thought to himself, since we've already done it all, why not go all the way and go for something bigger?

“Master, I’m afraid that’s not possible in the short term. But if you need it, Belfast can arrange it for you.”

Belfast, seeing Rob was indulging in another daydream, immediately stopped him from his unreliable behavior.

"Ah, that's true~ Let's put this aside for now."

Since the experts in this field had spoken, Rob naturally followed the head maid's advice.

Moreover, upon closer examination, he realized that there were only a few people in the port area, making it impossible to create a large-scale operation.

"In that case, please have your men move everyone further away. The commotion that's about to happen... well, it's going to be quite big."

Although a naval review is not possible, it's still fine to show off the white wooden horse a couple of times.

As a space battleship, what kind of business is it if it just sits in the port?

The commander of the coastal defense force didn't say much after hearing Rob's request.

He gave Rob and the head maid behind him a deep look before picking up the communicator and assigning tasks to his subordinates.

Under the command of the coastal defense forces, the onlookers, though slowly, were still retreating towards the rear.

It took quite a while, but we finally cleared out a safe area.

"Yixian, let Zhenhai take off."

Seeing that it was almost time, Rob gave the order to let the white wooden horse take off.

With a loud roar, the white wooden horse's engine started running.

Many reporters who had heard the news began to raise their cameras, ready to record this exciting moment.

With the roar of the engine, the white wooden horse slowly floated up, began to break free from the constraints of gravity, and began to rise higher.

Even the coastal defense troops on duty were dumbfounded at this moment.

I initially thought it was just a strangely shaped ship, but I never imagined it could actually fly!

As the white wooden horse ascended into the air, the atmosphere among the onlookers reached its climax.

Without a doubt, the world’s most advanced military force is now stationed in this port.

The gloom from the previous Siren attack was blown away by the huge tail flames shooting out from the engine of the white wooden horse.

News of Donghuang's brand-new airships spread throughout the world in no time.

Starting the next day, Rob's communicator was bombarded with calls.

Queen Elizabeth II, far away in the Royal Family, and Saratoga, far away in the White Eagles, both sent congratulatory telegrams to Rob, congratulating him on acquiring the world's most advanced warship.

They all expressed their intention to purchase this type of warship.

Even Mikasa Daisenbei from the Sakura Empire sent a message to Robo, saying that although he couldn't afford it, could he get a loan or something?

After all, airships are probably more attractive to the various factions than Gundams.
