Chapter 258: Rodney and the Bidding Meeting
When Li Ran and Kokang returned to the office building, everyone looked at Kokang, and a look of exploration flashed more or less in their eyes.
However, it can be seen that Kokang has returned to normal, and no one asks questions.
Li Ran looked at everyone's faces more or less strangely, he touched his nose, and then said:
"Emden, take us to the others. ”
Emden nodded, then beckoned to the destroyers gathered around Kokang, she thought for a moment and then said:
"Admiral, my radar detection area is limited or I'm still a little worried about the current situation, so can I let the fireflies continue to keep the nearby sea area on guard, the signal on the nose essence radar is sometimes not accurate. ”
Li Ran was silent for a while, and his heart really had Emden's style.
However, he thought of the fact that he had seen so many ships of maritime merchants before entering the island, and that he had just experienced a deep-sea attack the day before yesterday, and it was indeed not the time to let his guard down, he nodded, and then said to the fireflies:
"Firefly, I have a task for you. ”
"Admiral, what's the mission?" Firefly can be said to have grown a lot after this battle, and she can now be said to be the leader of the destroyers in Twilight Island.
On the one hand, there is certainly the factor that she is Li Ran's starting ship, and on the other hand, Firefly's personality of liking to make friends, and the seemingly sloppy but sometimes very considerate of others.
Just like the resolute thing just now, the fireflies are full of gratitude for the resolute thing, and it can be said that if it weren't for the resolute effort of the resolute one, the balance of victory would not necessarily be tilted to which side.
Therefore, even if the current fireflies want to pounce into Li Ran's arms, they will put away their ship outfits first and control their strength.
This is how fireflies grow.
Li Ran obviously also noticed something that had changed in the firefly, which was very valuable, he rubbed her long golden hair, and then instructed:
"Now we have gathered too many maritime merchants here, so the patrol work of the nearby sea area may have to be handed over to you, and once there is a situation, we will immediately send a signal flare to notify, you know?"
"Well, leave it to us. The firefly was full of vitality, she saw that Kokang was finally back to normal, at this time she was full of energy, shaking the magic wand in her hand, and then straightened her small chest, and then thought of something embarrassing, and then whispered coquettishly:
"Admiral, can you eat your meal at night, Frankfurter sausage hasn't eaten for a long time. ”
"Yes, little glutton. Li Ran stretched out his hand and scratched the firefly's nose, then smiled dotingly and said:
"Everyone has handed it over to you, when you get to the ocean, you can't relax your guard, once you encounter an emergency, notify everyone immediately, don't be reckless, you know?"
"Uh-huh. Firefly nodded heavily, then walked back to the destroyers and briefly said Li Ran's order.
Li Ran looked at Sigsby, Walkland, and Kokang all looking this way, he waved his hand, and then said:
"I've handed over the task of patrolling the coastal waters to you! When I come back in the evening, the Admiral will make you something to eat!"
"Hmm. "The four destroyer mothers performed a military salute, this etiquette was learned by them and Pinghai, after all, the relationship between Pinghai and the Admiral can be seen by everyone.
This etiquette is the etiquette of the Chinese Navy.
When Li Ran saw this scene, he paused for a moment, and subconsciously raised his hand in response, until the little ones walked away, he came back to his senses and slowly lowered his hand.
"Admiral, aren't you surprised?" Emden pushed his glasses, then looked at Li Ran in a daze, and she said softly:
"It's a very good etiquette, it's very Prussian, it's the military salute of the Admiral's hometown. ”
"Well, it's my hometown, I should have told you about it. Li Ran showed a helpless smile, Pinghai is a lively ship girl, sometimes she is very arrogant, and she can't help but say a word, so she reacted and asked:
"Speaking of which, didn't Pinghai come back with you?
"Oh, Pinghai went to help Richelieu, just now you also saw that there are a lot of things at the customs, Richelieu and they can't cope with it, the Admiral wants us to go over and have a look?"
"No, let's go to Rodney first. ”
"Won't the Admiral go first......?" Emden said again.
"What?" Li Ran was stunned, and then looked at Emden with some confusion.
"Nothing. Emden thought for a moment, but still silenced her words, she knew Bismarck's character, but she was also a little helpless when she met this admiral, sometimes like a lover, sometimes like a wooden man.
Helena is a little anxious, every time the Admiral comes to something about herself, she is prone to being unresponsive, especially when it comes to her own feelings, there are often failures like network delays.
However, Helena wanted to speak, but when she saw Emden gently shaking her way to signal herself not to say more, she was a little depressed, and whispered:
A sucker.
Li Ran was a little dazed, looking at the strange appearance of these two ship girls, he felt a little weak in his heart, could it be that he had seen what happened to him just now?
Sure enough, is it easy to be taken for Heitai if you get too close to the destroyer?
"Now, Emden, ahem, can you take us to Rodney?"
Li Ran felt that the atmosphere was inexplicably embarrassed, and changed the topic under the pretense of coughing.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Emden's eyes, he glanced at Helena, and then his tone returned to normal:
"Well, the Admiral comes with me. ”
Li Ran nodded, and with Helena, he followed Emden towards the west side of the office building, where the destroyers were training just now on the east side of the office building.
Walking along the way, I met some people who were in a hurry, and those people looked at Li Ran's admiral costume, and stopped to talk, but they saw that Emden and Helena, who were accompanying Li Ran, had already revealed part of the ship's outfit, so they stopped the idea of approaching.
Li Ran didn't show any expression along the way, since he wanted to pretend to be compared, he pretended to be deeper.
He knew that he was old enough to be criticized, and that if he showed any frivolous behavior now, he would be looked down upon by the maritime merchants, so he made his way through the limestone road, which had not yet been fully repaired, to the place where Rodney worked.
Li Ran looked at the iron house in front of him, yes, it was a simple house covered with aluminum iron sheet supported by several steel columns, and it was full of people.
Rodney heard a commotion outside the venue, and was about to call the mercenary ship lady to check the situation, so as to avoid chaos, but found that Li Ran, who was dressed in admiral clothes, walked straight against the light, she was in a daze for a long time, and then walked off the stage, and in the surprised eyes of all the maritime representatives, she knelt down on one knee and made a Royal Navy understanding:
"Admiral, battleship Rodney!"
Li Ran was stunned, he didn't expect Rodney to come out like this suddenly, he looked at the surroundings and suddenly fell into silence, he was a little dazed for a while, his eyes glanced at Rodney, and he didn't know what this guy was doing, he was usually so cute, and suddenly made it so formal.
However, now he can only bite the bullet, hold the so-called admiral's shelf, and then say:
"Well done, you are worthy of the glory of the Royal Navy, get up. ”
The embarrassment is dead.
After Li Ran finished speaking, he felt that he was particularly middle two.
Rodney got up, a sly smile flashed on his face, and then returned to a slightly serious expression, and then said to Li Ran:
"Now that the Admiral is here, the Admiral will tell the delegates about the bidding ceremony this time, what do you think?"
Saying that, Rodney's tone was full of majesty, although she had a cute and cheerful personality, but this was for the ship girls in the town guard, and for Li Er, as for the others, she was unpretentious.
"Welcome!" I don't know if it was the maritime merchant who was the first to applaud, and then there was a deafening applause in this extremely simple venue, and Li Ran was so unprepared that Rodney half-pushed onto the podium.
Helena and Emden glanced at each other, and did not choose to help Li Ran out of the siege, they knew that this auction was probably part of the task that Li Ran gave to Richelieu, so the two of them sat in the front row under the guidance of the mercenary shipwive.
Garnoliu looked at the young man who had refused to cooperate with him, and a trace of shock flashed in his eyes, although he was already mentally prepared, he saw Li Ran's major general epaulettes.
The old man thought that it had only been three months, and that this young man, who looked less than twenty years old, had become the youngest major general in the history of the world, and he was even more convinced in his heart that he had come to the right place this time, and a great business opportunity was in front of him.
And He Hai, the chubby businessman who almost reached a cooperation with Li Ran at the beginning, has already set up his own door at this time, and seems to be sitting on the same seat as old tycoons such as Garnolius.
Li Ran felt a gaze, he looked at Rodney who was pulling him, and then asked on the Admiral's personal network:
"Rodney, what are you doing?"
"Hehe, Admiral, Speech, you just came, this kind of thing will be left to the Admiral. ”
"I wasn't prepared. ”
"This is a task set by the Admiral himself, don't worry, I have already explained the rules of the bidding meeting, didn't the Admiral tell Richelieu? You just need to say something to appease these troublesome fellows." ”
"Caress?" Li Ran was a little strange:
"What's the trouble?"
"Well, it's inevitable that there will be voices saying that a shipwhack is not enough to make decisions on behalf of the admiral of a town's guard mansion, but it's good that the admiral is here. ”
Rodney's tone was a little unhappy, after all, she was a ship's mother, and she still cared very much about some words.
Li Ran was silent, no longer spoke, he was not angry, after all, although the ship mother and human beings are dependent, but human beings are still too weak compared to the ship mother, and in addition to the group of commanders, how much they know about the ship mother, most of the ordinary people's influence on the ship mother stays on the slightly violent and simple concepts such as strong force, fierce firepower, and being able to tear the warship with bare hands.
Even the merchants who have been trading on the seas all year round have always felt fear of these things in their bones.
It takes time to change perceptions.
Since this is the case, then let me Li Ran, start to change this concept today!
