Chapter 897: Euphemisms at the Banquet
"I'll leave it to you this time."
At the banquet on the main island of Sakura Empire, Nagato of Sakura Empire looked at "himself" and Akagi Kaga beside him, and said with some complexity.
"It's okay. This is the cooperation agreement between you... your Sakura Empire and our port area. When either side is in crisis, the other side will do its best to help the other side if it receives assistance.
We are also fulfilling this cooperation, so there is no need to thank us too much, this is the content of our cooperation. "Nagato originally wanted to say it in a more official way, but when he saw the slightly haggard face of "himself" on the other side, he finally did not have the heart to say it in an official way.
Zuikaku of the Imperial Sakura Empire shook his head and said, "Even though I say that, it is because of your help that the Imperial Sakura Empire was able to survive this difficult time. Otherwise, the fate of the Imperial Sakura Empire would be uncertain.
Once again, on behalf of the Sakura Empire, all of its commanders and citizens, thank you all."
"Haha, although we met not long ago, but this time, I suddenly realized that you, as the juniors, have already taken on responsibilities. It seems that you have grown a lot too." Akagi said with a giggle as she looked at Zuikaku.
"Senior, please stop making fun of me. But coming to the point, when I met you before, you seemed not much different from us. Could it be that after leaving Sakura Empire, you went back and experienced a ship transformation?" Zuikaku asked.
"That's right, your observation is quite detailed, much better than your sister who only knows how to talk." Akagi said meaningfully.
Zuikaku grinned. The conflict between his sister and Akagi had become a textbook example. Even though they were no longer in the same camp, it seemed impossible for them to forget their bickering.
"May I ask a question? How many ship girls have been transformed like you in Commander Qin Ge's port area now?" Nagato looked at Akagi in confusion.
"Don't be so reserved, Lord Shenzi. Although I have left Sakura Empire before, answering these questions is not a core secret. However, since I was converted, I haven't paid attention to anything during this period of time, so I only know a general idea." Akagi said.
"There are currently more than 200 ships in the port area , and as subsequent steel resources gradually arrive, this number will continue to increase. If we want to successfully transform all the ships in the port area, it will probably take more than half a year."
"So strong? A simple team of ten is already so strong, with more than two hundred ships. No wonder the Sirens don't use you as their experimental targets now. It seems that they also know the old tricks and they are of no use to you." Zuikaku said in surprise.
"Although we have become stronger now, being stronger means new enemies will appear. The Siren Experimental Agency is indeed not targeting us at the moment, but the Arbitration Agency has already set its sights on us.
They think that the changes in this world are a bit excessive and have completely exceeded some procedures, so they have to arbitrate and clean us out, and naturally you are among them.
This is the reason why the last Siren Tide broke out. The reason why we were able to overcome the most difficult difficulties was also because of the disruption caused by the Embers, which gave us some time to breathe.
But now is not the time to let down our guard. The Siren Experimental Agency's actions will become more and more aggressive in the future. They have already launched a full-scale offensive. Not only your Sakura Empire camp, but the Sardinia Empire has also sent us a request for assistance this time.
So no matter what happens next, it will be a challenge for us. I hope you can clearly understand what our commander said in the previous meeting." Nagato said.
Zuikaku and Sakura Empire's Nagato looked at each other and could both feel the pressure from each other.
"I see. Anyway, thank you for your support this time." Zuikaku said, "Then let's rest here for a few more days. We can also do our best to be the hosts."
“Haha, there’s no need to rest for a few more days, I do have a question I want to ask.
My commander proposed a public port area before. I wonder how the construction of the public port area in Sakura Empire is going? Can it be inhabited now? Are the facilities complete? Can it be self-supplied? "Akagi asked.
"The public port area of Sakura Empire is still under construction, but it has been basically completed, so there won't be much problem in moving in." Zuikaku said, "But you are our guests of Sakura Empire, how can we let you live in the public port area? Just like before, we will arrange some special accommodation for you to live in."
"You are wrong, you didn't understand me." Akagi looked at Zuikaku, "After our fleet is repaired, we will leave the Sakura Empire and return to our port area.
However, Canglong Feilong, Jiu Nio, Beifeng and the others plan to stay in the Sakura Empire for a while and have a good time here, so in order not to disturb you, it is better to stay in the public port area. "
"So they are going to stay here for a while. If that's the case then there's no need to be so troublesome. We can just arrange it." Zuikaku didn't react for a moment and spoke frankly.
After the voice fell, the Sakura Empire's Nagato sighed and said to Akagi, "Thank you for your kindness. Sakura Empire really needs such a force right now. We will build the public port area as soon as possible.
Before that, I would like to trouble Canglong and Feilong to stay at the reception desk for the time being. Once the public port area is completed, I will send someone to notify them and let them move in."
Akagi smiled at Nagato of the Sakura Empire and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Lady Miko. Our people here will consume some resources, so for the sake of fairness, if there are some incidents similar to this one in the Sakura Empire, you can inform them who are sightseeing here. I believe they will not hesitate to lend a helping hand."
"I understand." Nagato nodded.
She understood that perhaps this was the meaning of the existence of the public port area. Akagi used such extremely euphemistic words to express all of this so that the Sakura Empire would not be so embarrassed when accepting it.
Akagi nodded and glanced at the confused Zuikaku standing beside him. "It seems that the juniors still need to continue working hard. Well, now is the time to celebrate, so let's not talk about this anymore. It's just right for us to go over and tell Canglong the news. I believe she will be very happy."
After saying this, Akagi and Nagato left, leaving only Nagato of the Sakura Empire and a confused Zuikaku.
"Sir Godson, what exactly did you mean just now?" Zuikaku looked at Nagato in confusion.
"From now on, Commander Qin Ge's fleet will send a team of shipgirls to be stationed in our Sakura Empire for a long time to prevent the Sakura Empire from appearing again, like this time.
Although it was well-intentioned, such a thing would hurt the reputation of the Sakura Empire after all, so Akagi only said that a team of ships would stay for sightseeing for a while, and specifically asked them to stay in the public port area. "
Nagato paused when he said this, then turned to look at Zuikaku, "Do you understand now?"
Zuikaku felt a little helpless, but more relieved, "I understand."
