Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 451 Akagi's "Crazy" Plan! (3200 words)
The border of Liaozhou, Xueying Island, the stronghold of the heavy cherry camp.

On this spring-filled island, the range of buildings full of heavy cherry blossoms has become larger and larger.

After the hard work of the girls of the heavy cherry ship during this period, the heavy cherry stronghold has now become a small town, and many wooden houses and attics have been completed.

Fields with crops and gardens with blooming flowers have also been reclaimed. With the joint efforts of Sakura and Manjiu, everything here is so natural and beautiful.

It's just that in the heavy cherry stronghold at dusk, it seems a bit too quiet.

At this point on weekdays, the little destroyer girls who often chased and frolicked, the cruiser girls who went hunting in the forest, and the capital ships who chatted and laughed with each other were all gone.

There were only a few Manjiu facing the setting sun with brooms in their hands, cleaning the dust on the deserted road alone.

At the edge of the stronghold, in a double-storey attic with a courtyard adjacent to the river, Shinano, lying on a soft silk wooden bed, opened his eyes dimly.

She lazily sat up, stretched lazily, and stretched out her perfect figure to the fullest.

"Commander...Lin Lan..."

This white-haired fox lady, who was so beautiful that she didn't belong to the mortal world, muttered the name of her beloved in a low voice, and looked around the dark bedroom she had been cast into by the afterglow of the evening light through the curtains.

But she quickly frowned suspiciously as if she had noticed something.

Just as Shinano was bewildered, footsteps came from the attic floor outside the door, followed by a light knock on the bedroom door.

Little Lolita's weak inquiry came from outside the door:

"Xin, Shinano-sama, are you awake?"

"It's Xia, the concubine just woke up, don't be cautious, come in."

Shinano put on clogs, stood up from the bed and at the same time revealed the identity of the little loli outside the door.

The wooden door was gently pushed open, and with the orange sunset light, the fluffy white-haired animal-eared little loli, who was able to psychic, was wearing a short blue-and-white kimono skirt and covered her left eye with a blue knot Come in.

She drooped the furry gray pointed white animal ears on the top of her head, with a bitter face, carefully looked at Shinano who got up and walked.

"I remember that on weekdays, when there are important things, it is Noshiro who wakes me up... What happened, why are many companions not in the stronghold?"

Shinano walked slowly in front of the timid little Lolita, gently stretched out his hand to stroke Xia's head, and asked softly.

"Master Shinano...the reason why Miko-sama asked Kasumi and Pupu to wake you up is, because today Akagi-sama..."

"Chicheng...Chicheng? What happened to her?"

As soon as Shinano heard that Kasumi said something happened to Akagi, most of his drowsiness subsided.

This big fox aircraft carrier lady interrupted other people's words rarely, looked at Xia with a somewhat eager tone and asked.

She promised the commander in her dream to keep an eye on Chicheng, so there won't be problems so soon, right?
Asked by Shinano, this destroyer of the heavy cherry blossoms, the animal-eared little loli, seemed to be about to cry out of aggrieved, and continued pitifully:

"Akagi-sama, she took [-]% of the oil in the stronghold, and nearly half of her companions, without telling Miko-sama and Mikasa-senpai, she led the team to the United States of Oran to find the commander!"

"Xia and Pupu really want to go with them to find the commander, but, but... woo, woo woo woo..."

The extremely wronged Xia said at the end, like a child who was forced to give up looking for the commander, sobbing and crying.

After hearing this news, even Shinano, who had always been so calm that his expression remained unchanged, felt his eyes go dark.

Originally, after their heavy cherry camp came to Liaozhou, they did not find a stable way to obtain oil.

And Akagi dared to take away nearly [-]% of the oil of the entire Sakura camp without the knowledge of the flagship Nagato and senior Mikasa, is this crazy?
Shinano guessed without thinking that Noshiro must have joined Akagi in this almost crazy expedition.

But these are not the main points.

Most importantly, the sea area between Liaozhou and the United States of Oran is blocked by a large number of siren fleets and strongholds.

If they successfully arrived at the United States of Oran, it would be fine, but if they were intercepted by the Sirens and forced to come back, and consume so much oil, the entire Cherry Fleet would basically be paralyzed!
Besides, even if Akagi really brought so many Sakura companions to Oran, what would she do?
The one beside the commander right now is not another camp, but White Eagle!
Could it be that Chicheng plans to reenact the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor and abduct the commander from the White Eagle camp to Liaozhou? !

But right now even if she, Nagato and the others want to chase Akagi and the others back, they can't do it.

With only [-]% of the oil reserves, they only have enough to garrison the stronghold, and it is already a dream to catch up with Chicheng and others.

But soon Shinano calmed down, because she suddenly remembered something.

Chicheng was so eager to find the commander, maybe not simply because she missed the commander, but also an important reason that she almost forgot.

But no matter what, Shinano also decided that Lin Lan must be informed of this matter as soon as possible, so that the commander can make preparations in advance.

No matter how bad it is, Chicheng and the others must be supported.

Shinano had just made up her mind, but in the next second, her body froze.

Because at this moment, she suddenly felt that she was connected with the commander's dream...

Cut off by a mysterious force!
……

In the highest white Japanese wind tower in the central area of ​​the heavy cherry stronghold, most of the heavy cherry ship girls who stayed in the stronghold gathered in the hall.

Kamiko Nagato, who was guarded by Jiang Feng, looked bitterly at the companions in the hall who buried their heads and their faces were full of shame, and didn't know what to say.

After the inquiry just now, she already knew that, in fact, most of Shige Sakura's companions knew about Akagi's plan, but no one reported it to her.

Even the remaining companions now chose to stay after learning that the oil reserves in the entire stronghold were not enough for everyone to go to the commander together.

Whenever Nagato's eyes fell on them, they buried their heads lower in guilt.

And the reason why they didn't stop Chicheng, but they all chose to hide it by coincidence, was because Chicheng told them that they would definitely bring the commander back.

The cunning Akagi took advantage of everyone's love for the commander, which led to this situation.

Now that the matter has come to this, Nagato sighed deeply, and it is impossible for her to reprimand everyone.

Even she had a little expectation in her heart...

It would be great if Akagi could really bring the commander back.

On the top floor of this white and wind tower, two mature cherry blossoms are standing side by side by the railing, admiring the setting sun that is about to set on the horizon and sea level.

One is Mikasa-senpai, a heroic battleship lady wearing a dark brown heavy cherry navy uniform, wearing a white coat, holding a straight waist and holding a slender naval command knife.

And standing next to Mikasa, the gentle Sakura Kanniang with chestnut hair and purple pupils was shaking her dark brown furry animal ears, and on her extremely fair face, there was a hint of a tricky smile.

With a proud heart, she was wearing a black and red kimono, holding an open red umbrella in her hand.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her extremely fair skin caused by illness, and there was a lovely Yamato Nadeshiko aesthetic feeling.

She is Akagi's sister, the first ship of the Amagi-class battlecruiser known as "Ghost" - Amagi.

The two heavy cherry blossom main ship ladies just watched the sunset quietly without saying a word to each other, as if they were admiring the natural scenery of the island.

After a long time, Mikasa slowly turned her head, looked at Amagi beside her, and said in a solemn tone:
"Master Amagi, the reason why Akagi was able to hide me and Nagato, and even Musashi-sama was persuaded to join the expedition fleet, was actually planned by you for her."

"Hehehe...As expected of Senior Mikasa, you can see it right away, cough, cough, cough...!"

Hearing Mikasa's question, Amagi admitted with a very calm smile.

It's just that after she finished speaking, she suddenly covered her mouth with her sleeve and started coughing violently uncontrollably.

Immediately, Mikasa's expression changed, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Amagi, and gently patted Amagi's back.

The solemn expression on her face also turned into deep worry and sudden realization.

"Your body has deteriorated again... No wonder, no wonder, I should have thought of it earlier..."

Distressed, Mikasa helped Amagi into the room on the top floor of the collapsed building, and gently helped Amagi to sit on the tatami.

Wearing a white kimono, Yuki, the black-haired girl she had adopted before, came obediently from the room and served the two of them with brewed scented tea.

"Thank you... Yuki, go outside first, I have some private matters to discuss with Mr. Amagi."

After Mikasa and Amagi, who had recovered from a severe cough, took the teacups, she said to the girl in a deep voice.

"Okay Mikasa-sama, Amagi-sama, I will take my leave first."

Yuki looked at the weak Amagi with great concern, bit her lower lip in distress, and left the room.

After Yuki left, Mikasa didn't have any scented tea in her hand. After placing the teacup on the small wooden table on the tatami, she worriedly looked at Amagi who was sipping tea with the teacup in front of her eyes, and asked again:
"Master Tiancheng, has your body deteriorated faster?"

"..."

Amagi did not answer Mikasa's question, but silently sipped the scented tea in the cup.

After a long while in this oppressive atmosphere, when all the scented tea in the cup was drunk, Amagi slowly looked at Mikasa, and said leisurely:
"I'm fine physically, but..."

"As a big sister, I can't just watch Akagi, Kaga, and other partners miss the Lord day and night without doing anything."

It's just that even though she said that, anyone with a discerning eye could see that her already extremely weak demeanor didn't look like she was in good health.

Mikasa sighed deeply, and didn't tell Amagi's lie.

She understood that the reason why Chicheng went to the United States of Oran so abruptly was not only because of the great miss for the commander, but also because of Amagi's body that has been in decline since the commander disappeared.

If it weren't for the combination of these two reasons, the prudent Musashi-sama and so many companions would not have all chosen to hide from her and Nagato.

Not telling them, everyone who is also Sakura is afraid that they will worry about Amagi's body, so they have no choice but to support Akagi.

"Cough, cough, cough...!"

There was another violent cough, and this time, Mikasa had already seen some deep red wetness from the inside of the large red sleeve where Amagi avoided her sight.

The senior from the heavy cherry camp gritted his teeth and clenched his fists unconsciously.

It seems that Chicheng must bring the commander back this time!
