Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1300: Changes in the Soviet Alliance
"No, Comrade Minsk, how could she be angry about such a thing?"

Aurora heard Minsk's worries, smiled faintly, and patted Minsk's shoulder:

"She is just like the rest of us, worried about her commander and the comrades she has lost contact with.

"Maybe when we get back, Mercury Kinen and Kirov will be waiting for us at the temporary port."

Although the cold wind was blowing on his face, Aurora's gentle words were like a spring breeze, making Minsk smile again and sweeping away his worries:

"Yes, maybe Dr. Chkalov has repaired the communication system, and we can see Comrade Commander again!"

"Hehehe~"

Looking at Minsk's sunny smile, Aurora hid her worries with a smile.

After she received the mission and set out, she saw on the road to Beizhou that military supplies from many towns in Beizhou were being transferred to the south.

Kronstadt also told her privately on the eve of her departure that if she did not find anything on the frozen ground, she should return to the temporary port as soon as possible.

Combined with the increasing reticence of the Soviet alliance, this gave Aurora a constant feeling of unease.

Although the Blue God Cult in Xizhou has a certain connection with X, it chooses to actively cooperate with them in searching for their missing companions.

Therefore, Aurora believed that the Soviet Alliance would not mobilize the armored army to go to war with Western Province under such circumstances.

So...what about Zhongzhou?

When their companions had lost contact, Zhongzhou Yantiansi actually took the initiative to attack the search and rescue team they sent, which was undoubtedly a provocation under the greatest pressure from the Soviet alliance.

Considering that the commander is still in a coma, the long-distance communication means with Donghuang and the home port have been blocked for unknown reasons.

It goes without saying where these armored armies and monks from the northern sects will be transferred to.

Natlan Central Province will certainly be liberated one day.

But based on the intelligence she had gathered from her visits to many places in Northern Province, there was no need to plunge mortals into the quagmire of war to liberate Central Province.

We only need to eradicate the poisonous insects of Yan Tiansi and the Wu family as soon as possible, and the new birth of this country in another world can completely avoid the brutal civil war like the one when the Northern Union was first established.

But if the Soviet alliance insists on its own way and starts a civil war...

Even if they are bound to win in the end, most of the land of Natlan will be reduced to ruins, and no one knows how many ordinary people will die in the war.

Not to mention that mysterious enemies like Omen are still controlling the evil cultivators and eyeing them covetously, and their old rival Siren is also unknown what conspiracy is being planned.

Even if we have to fight, now is definitely not the best time to start a war with the Zhongzhou Imperial City.

Moreover, when they were fighting on the frozen soil defense line, they learned from the builders that the Mercury Memorial, Kirov, Tashkent, Sensitive and Fierce were all safe.

Aurora has always been rational about the Sirens.

The Builder revealed this information to them for no reason, so it would be meaningless even if he tried to trick them into retreating.

So she finally decided to evacuate early to stabilize the emotions of the Soviet allies first.

"I hope our allied comrades won't do anything stupid before we return. This is not what the commander wants to see in the Northern Alliance..."

Aurora prayed silently in her heart and turned to look at the truck they were riding in.

"Comrade Admiral Nakhimov, we need your equipment to shovel the snow."

Aurora finished speaking in a casual tone, and an expressionless, tall, short-haired, cat-eared girl with green hair jumped out of the car.

She was only wearing a thin white one-piece tights under her winter military jacket. Several white flat cables like ribbons extended from her tights and floated in the air, giving people a sense of sci-fi beauty that transcends the times.

Walking lightly in the snow, the short-haired cat-eared girl, who looked like a mature version of the little profiteer Akashi, looked at Aurora and Minsk with her golden eyes, then looked at the large area of ​​avalanche snow blocking the road ahead, and said in a cold tone:

"According to the detection program, the best solution is to use the prototype 'Demon Breaker' device to dissolve the solidified water element ahead.

"But doing so would make it difficult for the local ecological environment to recover in a short period of time, and would also cause the snow shovelers dispatched by Outpost 08 to be affected."

This cat-eared girl is Admiral Nakhimov, the seventh-phase scientific research ship of the Northern Union, a Pr.23AV-type Soviet Union-class battleship converted into an aircraft carrier.

A white cable hung down behind her like a cat's ear, indicating that this AI-like Northern Alliance research aircraft carrier was in a very depressed mood. She looked like a lonely and empty cat because her owner left home.

Aurora knew that Nakhimov was thinking about the commander.

Ever since he learned that his comrade commander had fallen into a coma after returning to the home port, Nakhimov had often been in this depressed mental state.

After all, as a design ship that was given meaning from scratch by the commander himself, only the commander himself can restore Nakhimov's condition.

As Nakhimov jumped out of the car, the other two Northern Alliance ship girls also got out.

"Ahahaha, I don't think there's any need for Comrade Nakhimov to take action at all.

“Comrade Minsk, your passion has faded, let me fire the cannon to break the ice!

"As long as you are not afraid of difficulties, an iceberg like this... hiccups, an iceberg of this level can be blown apart with one shot!"

With an extremely heroic tone, she burped with a strong smell of alcohol, and then the sexy gray-haired Northern Alliance battleship lady, who was wearing a black silk, white military skirt and a fluffy coat on her shoulders, laughed carelessly.

There was a teardrop mole on her left eye on her drunken face, and she was holding a crumpled photo and an empty glass bottle in her hands.

The first ship of the Northern Union's Gangut-class battleship, Gangut, is named after the ship that participated in the great event with Aurora.

"Haha~ It seems that Comrade Gangut is completely drunk."

Aurora showed a helpless smile when she heard the irrelevant speech of her always passionate partner.

Originally, Gangut's second sister, the battleship ship Poltava, who had vampire blood, would travel with them.

But for some reason, Poltava, whose luggage had been packed, was temporarily transferred to Kronstadt to perform other tasks.

This also caused Gangut to drink the water of life all the way, and even she couldn't stop him.

Getting off the car with Gangut was a petite girl with red eyes who had her floor-length silver-white hair tied into a wolf-ear hairstyle and two long ponytails. She was wearing a loose winter dress with cute sleeves and black over-the-knee leather boots. She had an aura that kept strangers away.

The first of the Northern Union Pr.48 Kiev-class destroyer leaders, Kiev.

After hearing Gangut's drunken speech, Minsk awkwardly approached Kiev and whispered:

"How come Comrade Gangut is so drunk? Didn't I ask you to hold her back and not let her drink too much water of life?"

"Sister Gangut... I was just looking at the photo of the unconscious commander sent from the home port."

However, what Minsk did not expect was that Kiev's voice actually had a weak crying tone.

"Kyiv, I miss the Commander too, woo..."

"Wow! Kiev, don't cry. When you cry, I miss the commander too... Comrade Aurora, please think of a way to comfort them!"

The poor Northern Alliance destroyer girl had no idea that she could make Kiev cry with just one sentence.

She also glanced at Gangut with a slightly reproachful look.

Everyone knows that the silent and introverted Kiev is a severe commander-control freak.

Ever since the commander disappeared, Kiev had been almost like the royal maids, distracted and in tears for most of the day.

Gangut could have looked at the commander's photo while drinking alone, but how could he have looked at it in front of Kiev?

As Kiev cried out, Gangut silently smashed the empty bottle in his hand to the ground without saying a word.

Nakhimov was even more silent, as if he had really turned into an emotionless machine.

Minsk was frantically trying to coax Kiev while looking at Aurora for help.

But she found that Aurora, who was always the first to comfort Kiev, was looking up, trembling slightly as if she didn't hear her voice and looking at the gloomy snow-cloud sky ahead.

Before Minsk could ask Aurora what she had discovered, the girl on the Northern Alliance destroyer heard her heartbeat speed up as she was shocked by the words Aurora said in a trembling voice:
"Is that...Comrade Commander?"
