Keelin looked at Li Ran as if she was angry, and she said timidly:

"Admiral, I don't know what you're talking about?"

Li Ran sighed: "Have you learned to lie?"

"I didn't, Admiral, I just wanted to punish those guys a little, it looks annoying. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Come on, don't stand stupid, I don't blame you, but next time you won't be so foolish, you know?"

"Hmm. Keelin nodded hurriedly, then obediently walked behind Li Ran, rubbed his shoulders and said:

"Admiral, you're the best for Keelin. ”

"You, don't be so naughty in the future. Li Ran felt Keeling's little hand gentle, he felt that it felt great, the destroyer elementary school student was really the best.

However, this corrupt life was not what he wanted, he sat up straight, and then said:

"Okay, that's it, I don't know, you go to Kokang, she's going to the dock, you go to meet Z24 and Z28, after all, it's a new guest, I think Bismarck should care, but she doesn't know how to take care of children, you go and help her." ”

"Well, the Admiral will leave it to me. Keelin grinned, then kissed Li Ran's cheek with a "snap", and ran downstairs again.

Lexington just went upstairs, and found that Keeling ran out in a hurry, she took a cup of tea, and then walked to the living room, put it in front of Li Ran, and said:

"Commander, what's wrong with Keelin?"

"It's okay, what's the matter?" Li Ran saw Lexington coming, he rubbed his eyebrows:

"Sit down, you've worked very the expedition, and I'm sorry that you have to worry about these chores as soon as you come back. ”

"Admiral, have some tea. Lexington said softly:

"This is the duty of the secretary ship, and the commander needs not say sorry, yes, but the old gentleman seems to care more about other things. ”

Li Ran sighed and said:

"It's Kirika, what did he say?"

"He has to add a piece of fog incense wood to the back of each clause, I haven't paid much attention to it before, but a thousand units of logs have to come with a fog incense tree, it doesn't seem to be much at first, but I counted the first batch of transaction contracts, 100,000 units of logs, that is, a hundred fog incense wood, this old man is obviously for this kind of tree. ”

"That's right, do you know the price of misty incense wood?"

Lexington frowned, she shook her head and said:

"I don't know, but I've heard it's expensive, and we have this kind of tree on our island?"

"There's a lake in the island, what do you think those bodyguards want to do? Didn't Garnollo come back with us first, so why didn't he let his bodyguards come back with him?"

"Isn't he one of those three botanists?"

"Botanist, I'm afraid there's only one person, the others should be thugs and bodyguards or something, they have calluses on their hands, I've been a soldier, and I can tell these guys have touched a gun. ”

"Touched the gun?" Lexington knew that although the ocean in this world was dominated by the deep sea, and the human navy was useless, there were still some firearms circulating among the six empires, and these guns did not harm the ship's mother, but they still hurt the admiral who was an ordinary person, and her tone was cold:

"Are you going to get rid of them? I'm afraid this kind of merchant won't have clean hands and feet. ”

"It's okay, you don't have to be so vigilant, Garnolius is an old fox, he deliberately marked these on the contract, which proves that he is sincere, and now he has given the initiative to us. ”

"I don't really understand, human transactions are too complicated. Lexington frowned, feeling a little disliked.

"You don't have to understand, you just need to help me confirm that there are no traps in the contract, and leave the rest to me, by the way, I'm going to talk to Bai Nuoyan about borrowing a boat now, after all, we don't have a transport ship now, I'm afraid we can't transport too many resources to Island C." ”

"What about the Black Gold Firm?"

"Put this matter aside, I'll solve it, as long as you help me take down Island C steadily, then there will definitely be more and more big businessmen like Garnollo in the future. ”

"Death Passage?" Lexington somewhat understands Li Ran's intentions, indeed, this is the edge of the Pacific Theater of Operations, to the east is the Far Eastern Theater, and to the west, it is New England, but if you take the golden route, the transportation cost of the long-distance ships has been high, if you turn to Twilight Island, then the voyage is not only shortened by more than half, but also, as long as you take the ABC three islands, you can bring personnel and materials to the port area, only by letting all the capital flow, the port area can get better and better, her eyes are getting brighter and brighter, and then she said with some admiration:

"It turns out that the Admiral has seen so far. ”

"No, this is when I was sick, I saw the book "On the Passage and Foreign Trade" that Richelieu read, she made a lot of annotations, and it talked about a lot of key points, all of which were the importance of the shipping route, and I also saw the value of the Death Passage according to the nautical chart sent by Bai Nuoyan, however, the name is not very good, and when we take control of the three islands in the future, we will make the Death Passage a Hope Passage.

However, before that, you have to promise me that if the deep sea is too strong, don't fight hard, I don't want to be alone in Minato, then I'd rather you never attack. ”

Li Ran's sudden seriousness made Lexington feel warm in her heart, she smiled softly, and then said in a resolute tone:

"Rest assured, Commander, that Lexington will help you achieve this goal, and that the Port Ward will become the most powerful and prosperous place in the world in the future. ”

Li Ran sighed and said:

"I just hope there will be no war in the oceans sooner, Lexington, and it would be nice if we could communicate with the deep sea. ”

Lexington saw that the Admiral was naïve again, and she said in a somewhat embarrassed tone:

"There will be a day, maybe. ”

Li Ran heard that Lexington was not sure, he knew that he was naïve again, shook his head and picked up some cold tea, he took a small sip, and then said:

"Don't talk about it, it's too far away from us, now let's think about how to make a little money. ”

Lexington was amused by her own admiral, and she smiled and said:

"Commander, you know I'm getting more and more comfortable with you now, because it makes me feel comfortable. ”

Li Ran's face was a little stunned, he was a little flattered, and was about to speak, but he heard Lexington continue:

"Although you are sometimes naïve, unrealistic, and a little, you are very sincere, very sincere to us, you would rather be a bad person yourself than let us touch those bad things, it is really good to have you as a commander. ”

Li Ran scratched his head, and then said:

"I'm embarrassed to say that, but I'm not that good, just a little bit better than ordinary people. ”

Lexington rolled her eyes, after getting acquainted with Li Ran, they could no longer get along with each other as awkwardly as before, and she said angrily:

"Humility makes people progress, that's what you said. ”

"How do you know that?"

Pinghai told me. ”

"Well, I'll admit my pride. Li Ran put down the teaglass, then lay on the sofa, looked at the ceiling, and said in a lazy tone:

"I'd rather be proud to be your Admiral. ”

"It's really numb, I'm not a little girl, Commander, I'm going to get busy first. ”

"Well, I'll make lunch for Bismarck and bring it to them, and then I'll talk to the Four Seas Merchant House if I can borrow a boat for a few days. ”

"Then we'll split up. Lexington nodded, and walked downstairs.

Li Ran stayed alone in the living room for a while, then walked to the balcony to look at the scenery outside the window for a while, he took a deep breath, then lifted his spirits and went downstairs.
