Chapter 233: Two Months: The World Turns Upside Down
Almighty Cultivation Supreme
After the military meeting on Twilight Island, two months passed in a flash, and everyone on the island seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness at the meeting.
However, the people with secrets remained silent until the early autumn came, and the trees on the island began to wither.
Li Ran walked on the pavement of Xiguang Street, which was already covered with dead leaves.
Only the prestige of being the head maid silently followed.
Li Ran was actually very glad that the ship girls didn't dig deeper, or they all chose to be silent.
"Prestige?"
"I'm here, master. β
"It's autumn. β
"Huh?"
"It's nothing, it's just whining, by the way, the number of caravans coming to the port area has increased recently, and there is no problem with order, right?"
"There is no problem, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in charge of Richelieu, but recently, there has been more and more deep sea coming from the east, which needs to be paid attention to. β
"That's good, it's going to be the ship-watching ceremony in another month, do you think I should go to the First Ship Niang Academy?"
"The master should go, didn't Tirpitz write from him?"
"North House?" Li Ran showed a wry smile, and then said:
"But why didn't she just come over?"
"I don't know, Bismarck said that her sister might be lazy. β
Bismarck was right, and the character of the North House was lazy. Li Ran smiled lightly, then watched the breeze blow away the dead leaves, and looked into the distance:
"Prestige, Mishima's situation should be fine. β
"Well, there are already some chambers of commerce in Mishima, by the way, the representative of the Four Seas Commercial Bank, what is the master going to do?"
"No meeting, no cooperation, no compromise. Li Ran's tone was cold, and then he realized that he was emotional again, he took a deep breath, and then said:
"The death route is now a golden route, and now that she has come to the door, should I say that she is too naΓ―ve?
"It's not easy for her, yesterday Helena was in charge of the intelligence department has sent back a message, the Four Seas Commercial Bank seems to be in big trouble, master, although you also have your own grievances, but Miss Bai She is innocent. β
"Innocent?" Li Ran sneered, and then said softly:
"The position is different, since she chose to be on her father's side, then I must respect her choice no matter what, the enemy is the enemy, and don't forget what happened a month ago. β
When Prestige heard Li Ran mention it a month ago, she immediately fell silent, although there was no clear evidence that the assassination a month ago was committed by the Four Seas Commercial Bank, but the poison of rumors had taken root in the Admiral's heart.
She had heard from Bismarck about the Admiral's experience in Qiyun City, the Four Seas Firm had unilaterally torn up the agreement and had trampled on the Admiral's bottom line, and the assassination a month ago had made the Admiral experience danger, and the one who was able to send the Nameless Ship Lady to act as an assassin undoubtedly pointed to the Four Seas Firm first.
Although Prestige understood that the assassination was not done by the Four Seas Trading Company, and she knew that the Admiral also understood, she knew even more that Li Ran's resolute refusal to repair the Four Seas Trading Company again was because the premise of trust between Xiguang Island and the Four Seas Trading Company had been lost.
And it just so happens that the Admiral is a person who doesn't like others to break the contract and betray.
"I see. β
"Don't talk about these, it's hard to take a break today, let's go to the island lake resort to have a look, I don't know if the vegetables grown in Pinghai are ripe. β
Li Ran took a deep breath and said softly in his heart:
Bai Nuoyan, don't blame me.
He needs strength now, he needs a lot of power, and in order to be able to go deep into the uncharted sea to find Pachina, he has to ask for clarification, so before that, he must make Minato strong as soon as possible, strong enough to be fearless of anyone's threat.
β¦β¦
Lexington stood on the shore at the dock of the home port of Dawn Island, with a expressionless face, in the past two months, more business houses have come to the port area to seek cooperation, and the pressure on her as a secretary ship has also increased day by day.
Therefore, she hadn't smiled for a long time, and a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes as she watched the fleet of the Four Seas Trading Company go away.
She still had a good impression of Bai Nuoyan, although she felt that the Admiral's approach was also a bit decisive, but the assassination a month ago made her break out in a cold sweat, and she could only deprive the most suspected Four Seas Trading Company of its qualifications to pass the death route.
In any case, the safety of the Admiral came first, although she knew that Bai Nuoyan might be innocent, even if the assassination was really committed by the Four Seas Trading Company, it might not have too much to do with her.
The current Twilight Island, because of its unique geographical location and its location in the central node of the Far Eastern Theater and the Pacific Theater, is an important area for supply transit, and it is also one of the outposts jointly designated by the seven governors to enter the uncharted seas.
Li Ran is now not only promoted from lieutenant to major general in just two months, but also has the same right as the seven governors in his hands [the right to manage the route of the death route]!
Therefore, Sihai Commercial Bank was suspected of assassinating Li Ran, which was even worse for the Bai family.
However, Lexington will not make another mistake, and after the assassination, the main island of Twilight will only be diverted to the three islands, except for the merchants who have obtained the Governor's charter.
Now it can be said that Li Ran was unknowingly pushed onto the table by the seven governors.
Lexington knew Li Ran's secret, and also knew why her admiral would rather be in such a big trouble, she sighed silently, and then looked to the east, where was the direction of the unknown sea.
"Sister, wouldn't it be too cruel to do this?"
Saratoga no longer knew that the Four Seas Trading Company had been expelled several times, and after the assassination, the Admiral put forward the three no's principle of "no meeting, no cooperation, and no compromise", and listed this principle as a dead line, and the port area was indeed strong, but in the past two months, everyone's face has not been smiling in the past.
"Is it cruel?" Lexington muttered, then shook his head slightly:
"Don't forget, the Admiral needs strength, he needs a lot of strength, and we're still too weak. β
"But ......"
"Believe the Admiral, although his approach is a bit radical now, I think sooner or later he will change his decision. β
"Sister, what about Bai Nuoyan?"
"I don't know, the matter of the Four Seas Commercial Bank can only be put on hold for the time being, and we have more important things. β
"I really don't understand why humans always have to hurt each other. β
"Gaga, you'll understand later. β
Lexington smiled bitterly, although the matter of the military meeting had passed, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with him and the Admiral, they got along well and cooperated happily, but it was just that, she still noticed Li Ran's attitude towards her, not as close as Bismarck, but deliberately kept a distance.
Lexington steered the carrier-based aircraft, and then escorted the Four Seas Merchant House away, and then sighed softly in his heart:
Once there is a gap in trust, it is like crumpled paper, and it is impossible to restore it to the same as before. Do you understand this?
