Chapter 46: Two in the Morning
Li Ran felt that his feet were much better, and continued to look at the sea chart, the closest of these three islands to Twilight Island was Island C, but it was unrealistic to attack Island C, which was entrenched in a large number of deep-sea fleets at the beginning, but it was the two islands of AB that seemed to be relatively far away, which were more suitable as priority targets.

He thought about it, and then began to think of his own plan, and before he knew it, the coffee was finished, Li Ran looked at the empty cup, the battle plan had already taken shape, but it was not perfect, but without coffee to refresh himself, he was easily sleepy.
So he got up and walked around the room for a while, then opened the window, and a gentle wind blew in the night, which shook his spirits.
Li Ran quietly looked at the moonlight outside the window, listened to the sound of crickets from time to time, and could vaguely hear the sound of fireflies and Sigsby playing games downstairs, he showed a knowing smile, this kind of life is really good, although it is a little tired, but everything in the port area starts from scratch, it is the result of his own and the ship's efforts together, this feeling is really great.
Li Ran looked at the moonlight for a while, but did not feel much melancholy in his heart, but full of energy, he knew that his current town guard mansion was still very weak, and the port area had just started, so he was more cautious about this strategy in his heart, he thought about it, picked up the empty cup, opened the door of the office, and went downstairs.
When Li Ran arrived at the stairs, he saw Bismarck in pajamas holding a glass of water, it was the first time he saw Bismarck in pajamas, I have to say that Bismarck, who had changed into pajamas, had a special charm in her gestures, but her face was still unsmiling, and she saw Li Ran say hello:
"Hasn't the Admiral slept yet?"
"Didn't you sleep too?" Li Ran stopped, then thought for a while and said:
"Bismarck, you are beautiful when you are not wearing a military uniform. ”
Bismarck's cat ears stood up, and she felt a very strange feeling in her heart, and said in a somewhat harsh tone:
"Admiral, if it's okay, I'll go back to my room and rest first. ”
Li Ran really saw Bismarck's cat ears move this time, he was wondering if Bismarck was shy like this?
He looked at Bismarck, who was walking upstairs quickly, and felt in a good mood, and his fatigue was relieved a lot.
"Hasn't the Admiral slept yet?" Helena was talking to Lexington when she saw Li Ran and asked.
Li Ran watched the coffee blender break the coffee beans, and when he heard Helena's words, he said:
"I'm the Admiral, you haven't rested, and I can't. ”
As he spoke, the blender stopped, Li Ran washed the coffee away with hot water, smelled the aroma, he felt very satisfied, and then he walked over with the coffee, and saw Lexington and Helena surrounded by some design drawings, he put the coffee on the tea table, and then said:
"You drew these?"
Helena shook her head, then pointed to Lexington and said:
"It's all drawn by Lexington, the Admiral came just in time, we're thinking about what new buildings would be appropriate to add near the Town Guard's House, do you have any good suggestions?"
Li Ran thought about it and didn't answer immediately, but said:
"Would you like something to drink?"
"No need, Commander, it's late today, don't drink coffee, you won't stay up late tonight, you know?" Lexington looked at Li Ran's tired face, as well as the sleepiness on her face, she was a little worried, and her tone was gentle but full of flavor that could not be refused:
"If you're like this, I'm going to deprive you of your job as a secretary. ”
"Okay, I'm not going to stay up late, okay, but it took a lot of time for you to draw these things, right?" Li Ran looked at these drawings, they were all hand-drawn with pencils, he didn't know how Lexington drew these, but in the past half a month, as a secretary ship, she must have been very tired, he said seriously:
"It's been a great time for you, Lexington. ”
Lexington smiled gently, she shook her head slightly, and said:
"It's not hard, Commander, let's talk about your opinion first, what building to build near the Town Guard Mansion, and I'll discuss it with the Patriarch of Ruoduo Ruo Fairy tomorrow." ”
Li Ran thought about it, took a few sketches, then looked at them, took a sip of coffee, and then said:
"Near the town guard house, there must be a ship dormitory, after all, there are not many rooms in the town guard house, well, there must be a bathhouse, that is, a place to repair the canal, and there is a sword hall, a bow hall, a canteen, well, if there is still room to spare, you can build some amusement facilities for the destroyers, probably that's all I can think of. ”
Lexington nodded and said to Helena:
"Your thoughts coincide with those of the commander. ”
"It's a coincidence. A hint of panic flashed in Helena's eyes.
Li Ran frowned, and he said:
"However, we can slow down the construction of these facilities, tomorrow I will hold a military combat meeting, well, I will finish writing the strategy plan in the evening, don't look at me with that kind of eyes, I have been sleeping at ten o'clock for several days, and I am almost idle. ”
Lexington sighed, knowing that what Li Ran decided would not be easily changed, and she said:
"Only once. ”
"Well, it's not an example. Li Ran finished with a smile, and then got up and prepared to go upstairs.
"Your coffee. Lexington said helplessly.
"Oh, I almost forgot. Li Ran turned around, and then remembered the destroyers who were still playing outside, and he said:
"I'll leave the little ones to you. ”
"Don't worry. Lexington bowed slightly.
Li Ran nodded, picked up the coffee and went upstairs.
Helena saw Li Ran's figure disappear at the staircase, and she teased Lexington:
"You care about the Admiral. ”
"Don't make fun of me, where did we just go......"
……
When Li Ran went upstairs, Ping Hai had just finished washing his body and came out wearing a bath towel, his hair was wet, and he happened to see Li Ran, and she returned to the room as if she had escaped.
Li Ran touched his nose, Pinghai's figure was really amazing, he was about to push open the door of the Admiral's office, and heard Quincy singing on the balcony of the living room on the second floor, and Juno was listening to it:
"There is always a night sky without starlight
Polaris has been guiding the way
Traveler
Hurry home
There are always forests where there is no moonlight
A lit torch provides light
Hunters
Hurry home
……”
Li Ran listened for a while, a little silent, he didn't disturb Quincy, quietly opened the door of the Admiral's office, and then the singing stopped, and he heard Quincy say to Juno:
"Juno, I miss my sister. ”
Li Ran felt a trace of guilt in his heart, and he realized that he had let Quincy stay for more than half a month, and he had forgotten that Quincy had been living with his sister New Orleans in the First Ship Niang Academy before he was a Freedom Ship Girl, he took the door, and then sat down in the seat, and thought about it, it was time for Quincy to go back to the First Ship Niang Academy to report his safety.
And Juno himself has no reason to let her stay, although he was not able to pick up the arrogant cat-eared girl, but he didn't force it, after all, the four Atlanta-class sisters, I heard Lexington talk about the relationship between them, and the four light cruiser girls rejected the kindness of many admirals, including the Atlantic governor, and he was not confident that he could bring the four light cruiser girls back together.
However, Li Ran didn't care very much, the strongest light cruiser Helena was already in the port area, he was not the kind of person who was insatiable, because he understood that this was reality and not a game, every ship girl was a unique existence, and they were all fresh lives, he knew that it was impossible to fish for a ship or build it with his fingers like a game, but he understood that he was starting from scratch now, and he had to rely on himself for everything.
Feeling that he was thinking about it again, he shook his head and continued to look at the charts on the table, he was also a little tired, glanced at the coffee cup, and said in his heart:
Wait until this cup of coffee is finished, and then go to bed.
originally thought that he could rely on coffee to refresh himself, but Li Ran still fell asleep in his seat unconsciously.
Soon after Li Ran fell asleep, the door of the Admiral's office was slowly pushed open, and Lexington walked in gently, looking at Li Ran who was asleep on the table, she gently picked up the Admiral's coat and put it on for him.
Lexington looked at the paperwork arranged on Li Ran's desktop, and a trace of distress flashed in her eyes, this was not the first time she had seen Li Ran stay up until two o'clock in the morning.
She said to herself: The commander is really uncomfortable.
Lexington sighed, didn't wake up Li Ran, she slowly walked to the door, and the door was gently closed.
The lights in the Admiral's office dimmed.
The town guard's mansion also fell into a rare silence after the light of the admiral's office was extinguished, and the night passed slowly.
