Li Ran looked at the paperwork sorted out by Lexington for a while, as well as the escort entrustment agreement mentioned by Bai Nuoyan, he took out the new chart of Bai Nuoyan and gave himself, and saw the location of his own island and ABC three islands, he fell into deep thought:

"We must find a way to take down the death route, and I hope that Lexington and their expedition tomorrow will go well. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Li Ran thought about it, and saw some of the contents of the escort entrustment agreement again, he frowned, Bai Nuoyan could see the value of this route, presumably this route is not so simple.

Thinking of this, he contacted Bismarck through the Admiral's personal network:

"Bismarck, come to the office if you have time. ”

Bismarck and Hippert listened to Blucher talk about life in the gendarmerie, and as shipwives who belonged to the same country G, they had a lot in common except for their different affiliations.

Bismarck heard Li Ran's request, and she said to Blucher and Hipper:

"I'm sorry, the Admiral is looking for me, I'll go upstairs and have a look. ”

"Hmm. Blucher understood.

Bismarck went upstairs, while Hipper and Blucher looked at the hurried appearance of the eldest sister of country G, and began to speculate wildly.

Blucher said, "Hipper, you have an admiral, what do you say Bismarck is going to do?"

Hipper frowned, and she said softly:

"I don't know, maybe there are some internal affairs to deal with in the Xiguang Town Guard's Mansion, by the way, the First Ship Niang Academy, have you found Prince Eugen?"

"No, I haven't heard of Prince Eugen appearing recently, probably because he wasn't created, but Tirbitz ran away. ”

"That rotten girl. ”

"Do you know her whereabouts?"

"I don't know, I've heard some gossip. ”

……

While Blucher and Hipperer were talking about Bismarck's sister Tirpitz, Bismarck went to the door of the Admiral's office and found it closed.

"Admiral, is there anything urgent?"

Bismarck just knocked on the door and walked into the office.

"You're here, that's it, I didn't ask about your escort mission last time, sit down and talk. Li Ran looked at Bismarck standing opposite him, his body was as tall as a pine, worthy of the Brus military style, he pushed the escort entrustment agreement in front of her and said:

"This is the agreement on the entrustment of the escort of the death route, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce sent Bai Nuoyan, who became the admiral, this time, mainly to cooperate with us to develop this route, you have gone through a trip, I want to know the details of the death route in detail. ”

Bismarck nodded, and she took the agreement, but did not sit down, but looked at it carefully.

Li Ran looked at Bismarck, who was focused and serious, and when he saw the agreement, sometimes the cat's ears shook slightly, and he didn't urge her, but continued to review the documents of the past two days, including the resource input, and the list of materials required submitted by the leader of the many goblin teams, densely packed with various materials, Li Qi sighed.

These things are very expensive, and you have to find a way to make money.

Li Ran looked at those machines, all of which cost tens of thousands of ocean dollars, the ocean yuan is the common currency of this world, because of the emergence of the deep sea, the theory of the supremacy of sea power has been valued by all countries, and although countries cannot directly order the governor of the town guard, but they will always have a good relationship with the town guard government in the sea near their country through various ways, and the unification of currency is also for world trade to avoid the trouble of tax rate conversion.

After all, the deep-sea fleet will appear all the time, and the ocean trade is already not easy, so the big businessmen in the world have reached an agreement to cancel all kinds of currencies and unify the ocean currency as the representative of the world currency.

Getting back to the point, Li Ran looked at the materials listed under the list, and those machines knew that they would not be cheap just from their names.

And because in the past half a month, there have not been many merchants who have come to the town guard mansion to import timber, so the money of the Xiguang town guard mansion is only more than 10,000 ocean coins, which is too little for the construction of a town guard mansion.

Li Ran felt that he had arrived in this world, although he did not worry about eating and drinking, and his safety was worry-free for the time being, but he was short of money.

For the first time, he felt that building a town guard mansion was now managing an island with a radius of nearly 500 square kilometers, which was equivalent to one-third the size of Xiamen Island, which was very large for him to live with the ship's wives.

As for the calculation of the island, it was the result of Lexington and Saratoga's reconnaissance with carrier-based aircraft, although this may not be very accurate, but Li Ran knew that there was not much difference, and before he crossed, he did not expect that he would become the master of an island one day.

Li Ran knew that the hope of returning to Earth was very slim, he had already regarded Xiguang Island as his second home, in order to build this second home, he gritted his teeth and decided that these equipment must be bought, and all kinds of messy materials must also be replenished.

But these all require a lot of money, and he saw on the chart, the country closest to his Dawn Island- New England, this country is about two thousand nautical miles away from the main island, and Xia is even farther away, nearly three thousand nautical miles, which leads to Li Ran's absorbing island can temporarily guarantee self-sufficiency, but if it goes on like this, it is only maintained at the level of self-preservation, he doesn't want to travel once, just spend his life on this island, although it is not bad to have the ship's mother to accompany him, but this different world should also have a lot of different wonders.

It's not that there is a saying that the world is so big, I want to go and see it, Li Ran actually hopes that he can travel to every corner of the world in his life after he travels.

Therefore, Li Ran attaches great importance to the value of the Death Route, this passage is closer to New England than the international golden passage on the day Bai Nuoyan talked about, although there are only a few small islands and reefs in the middle of the Death Route, these islands and reefs are uninhabited, but they can provide some fresh water supply for the long-distance merchant ships, and the world collectively refers to these islands and reefs as supply reefs.

However, these islands and reefs are limited by size and are too far away from the large islands where many of the towns are located, and few people have reached them except for the ocean-going trade fleets, and no one in the world has declared their intention to take these small islands and reefs for themselves, so they have become international common areas.

However, where there are supply reefs, there will be deep-sea fleets, and supply reefs are often scattered in the center of some important shipping routes, so many caravans will hire ships from various Admiral's Mansions as escorts, which is the origin of the escort entrusted mission.

Li Ran also knows that if he wants to make money, accepting escort entrustment tasks from major chambers of commerce is not intended to be the fastest way to get money, but this means that he must put his ship mother in danger, although he can click without psychological burden in the game, and he only needs to click on the repair when he sees the break, but now this is the reality, the ship girls are living lives, they live with themselves, protect their own safety, and he still can't pass his own hurdle in his heart.

To get back to the point, when Li Ran was struggling with how to make money, Bismarck finished reading the escort entrustment agreement, she pondered for a moment, organized the language and said:

"Admiral, the death route itself is not dangerous, but there are some small uninhabited islands and reefs called supply reefs along the way, and these islands and reefs are the docking points for the ocean-going fleet to replenish fresh water resources, and there will be a lot of deep-sea fleets in the waters near these supply reefs.

And then I heard those sailors say that not every time they can be so lucky, they talked about some smugglers, there are many smugglers in order to make huge profits, take this route, one of the smugglers is the sailor of the Chamber of Commerce of the Four Seas, I heard him say that when he was still a sailor on the smuggling ship, their fleet in order to save money, did not ask the ship's mother to escort, that time in the sea near the supply reef encountered a large-scale deep-sea fleet, he was lucky, luckily survived.

Based on his descriptions, I speculate that it is not surprising that there is any deep sea near these supply reefs, so if you want to sign this agreement with the Chamber of Commerce of the Four Seas, I am afraid that one trip will require twelve ships to escort the whole process, and the size of the fleet cannot exceed six, otherwise the target is too big and it is easy to have big problems when facing the deep-sea fleet. ”

Li Ran listened quietly to Bismarck's words, he pushed the chart in front of her and said:

"Can you remember the last time you were on the supply reefs?"

"Well, I'll see. Bismarck put the agreement down, and then looked at the chart, she pondered for a moment, and then said:

"It should be here, this place called Coral Supply Reef, I met two full-fledged deep-sea fleets (a full-fledged fleet is six ship girls, whether it is a deep-sea ship or a fleet composed of ship girls, it is this configuration, hereby explained.) But because the merchant ships had already docked at that time, there was no danger. ”
