Li Ran, accompanied by Richelieu and Helena, entered the villa.

Richelieu looked at Li Ran's gaze as she roamed around, and she hurriedly explained:

"Because of the recent financial problems of Mishima, the renovation has not been put on the agenda, and Bismarck does not plan to renovate, so the Admiral should not ......"

"I don't want anything, do I dislike it?" Li Ran's eyes flashed with a trace of distress, and he whispered:

"I feel distressed, Bismarck is like this, in this way, you go and contact those maritime representatives, to see if they are interested in coming to Island A for the construction of civil works, as for the exchange conditions, just say that for three years on Island A free of charge to provide shops and exempt shop rent, the commercial tax will be charged 5%.

By the way, I remember that now we are qualified to issue the Golden Sea Area Pass, the death route was not in our control before, and now it is under our jurisdiction, in this case, you add one, who is willing to contract the civil engineering construction of Island A, and issue a three-year golden route pass permit for free. ”

"Admiral, is this really possible?

"Yes, they will come, not because they want to come, I'm afraid that the attempt of the seven governors to enter the uncharted waters has already been smelled by many business tycoons, and we can draw a big pie for them in advance, anyway, all we need to pay is some empty checks.

By the way, if the cooperation on Island A goes well, we can also extend these to the two islands of BC, your Admiral is very poor, and the construction of these civil engineering projects costs a lot of money, and it would be great if there were one or two who are willing to be the big bosses. ”

Richelieu was a little speechless, she sighed, and then said:

"Admiral, you're ......"

"What is it? is it despicable and shameless?" Li Ran didn't care, he knew Richelieu's character, and he wouldn't be angry, and frankly admitted:

"So what? You are the most important family to me, as for the others, I am not so kind, besides, this is a deal, you and I will, you just need to convey my orders, it doesn't matter if you have more notoriety, there is an old saying in our hometown, if there are more lice, you don't weigh down. ”

Richelieu was obviously shocked by Li Ran's shameless statement, but she couldn't say anything to refute it, but she was inexplicably moved in her heart.

Helena let out an inaudible sigh as she watched Richelieu's fist clench and then release.

Seeing Richelieu go out with her head bored, obviously following Li Ran's order, she only opened her mouth to ask after Richelieu's figure disappeared into the distance:

"Did the Admiral say that on purpose?"

"No, that's what I am. Li Ran's tone was flat, and his eyes were calm:

"As I said, your Admiral is not an absolutely rotten good man. ”

Helena's heart ached slightly, he watched Li Ran walk forward by himself, and said in his heart:

But, Admiral, is it really your sincerity to do this?

"Admiral, don't you regret doing this?"

"Regret?" Li Ran paused slightly, then turned his head, and looked at the sunlight outside shining on Helena's face, and the backlight couldn't see the expression on her face, and he said in an indifferent tone:

"Maybe. ”

Helena gritted her teeth and wanted to ask Li Ran what she thought about Bai Nuoyan's request for help, but when the words came to her lips, she held back again.

"After asking, let's go. ”

Li Ran knew that what he said would have too much impact on the ship's girls, and it would even cause Richelieu's bad feeling just now.

It's just that sometimes there is a price to pay for protecting the good.

Helena didn't speak, silently followed Li Ran, and after a while, walked to the office on the second floor where Leipzig and Emden were.

Li Ran pushed open the door, then watched Leipzig fall asleep on the table, and then saw Emden get up to wake Leipzig.

"Shhhh ”

Li Ran motioned to Emden to remain silent, he took off his coat, gently draped it over Leipzig, and then whispered:

"Let's talk about it outside. ”

Emden nodded, pushed her glasses, and left the room with a gentle step.

"I worked hard for you last night. ”

"The Admiral doesn't need to be so polite, since joining your port district, we can still endure these hardships. ”

Emden was as calm as ever.

Li Ran touched his nose, and then reacted, it seems that the small house is also on Island A:

"Where's the otaku?"

"She went to training with the submariners, saying that she wanted to become a shipwreck like Bismarck. Emden's face softened visibly when he talked about the otaku, and his tone was also gentle.

"I wish the otaku were still the same as they were in the Far Eastern theater. ”

Li Ran said this, and then looked at Helena and Emden's somewhat stunned expressions, and he shrugged his shoulders:

"It's nothing, Leipzig is tired and let her sleep, Emden, if you're tired, go to sleep too, Helena and I can go for a walk by ourselves." ”

"It's okay, Leipzig and I are on duty in turns, and my radar is always on, so I won't delay my work, so I can still show the Admiral. ”

Emden said in a calm tone.

Li Ran was silent for a while, and then said in a relaxed tone:

"Then I'm bothering you. ”

Helena felt that Li Ran's performance was full of contradictions, on the one hand, the Admiral was so gentle, but on the other hand, the Admiral's methods even made her own ship's mother who dealt with intelligence work feel a little unhappy.

Admiral, which one is you?

She didn't understand what drove Li Ran to say those words, but she was a little distressed, such cruel gentleness was not the gentleness she wanted.

Emden didn't realize it so much, she was a soldier, and she had always taken obedience to orders as her duty, and Li Ran's orders were now absolute, which was very similar to Bismarck.

Bismarck was also because of the style of the Prussian soldiers, so even though he knew that some of Li Ran's practices were a bit ruthless, he still chose to support silently, without asking or questioning, but with unconditional trust and dedication.

Li Ran and Emden walked side by side in front, and when they went out, they found Helena Hai staying in place in a daze, and he felt a little helpless in his heart, but his tone still pretended to be calm:

"Helena, don't be in a daze, let's go. ”

Helena was pulled back to her senses by Li Ran's words, and she hurriedly followed.

Li Ran walked on the road, and then asked Emden some details of the battle that night, and after listening to it, he frowned, then let go again, and then said:

"So, you cleaned the battlefield and didn't find the figure of the golden-veined deep sea?"

"Yes, that's weird. Emden pushed his glasses, his tone revealing confusion:

"Moreover, although last night's offensive was fierce, the radar failed to detect the possibility of a large-scale deep sea near Island A. ”

"You mean, the deep sea could come from uncharted waters?"

"More than seventy percent likely. Emden nodded.

Li Ran touched his chin, then thought for a while and said to Helena:

"Helena, tell us a little about what happened to you that night. ”

Helena nodded, and then briefly talked about the deep-sea raid on her home port, and when she entered the working state, she spoke very clearly, and added her own speculation after speaking:

"Based on the above, Admiral, Emden's speculation is probably not far from ten. ”

Li Ran nodded, and then fell into deep thought.

The two shipwresses also came down silently, without disturbing the admiral's thoughts.

"Since it is speculated that it is from an unknown sea, I am afraid that it is necessary to carry out an exploration. ”

Li Ran thought for a moment, then continued:

"Let's gather you all in the evening, and I'll give you a brief idea of what we plan for the future. ”

"Understood. Emden bowed her head slightly, then took out her notes and quickly recorded them, and then she suddenly remembered a very important question:

"By the way, Admiral, there is one more thing, I hope the Admiral will make a decision. ”

"What?" Li Ran asked when he heard Emden's tone be a little serious.

"Regarding the naming ceremony of the three islands, the admiral is now a major general, I have recently learned about the responsibilities of the general-level admiral, the admiral already has the qualifications to name the sea area and its islands under his jurisdiction, and now is a good time, so can the admiral determine the name of the three islands as soon as possible?"

Li Ran thought that Emden was going to say something terrible, but it turned out to be this, and he said in a relaxed tone:

"No problem, I'll talk about it when everyone is gathered in the evening. ”

Seeing that Li Ran agreed, Emden breathed a sigh of relief, and then said in a calm tone:

"Where does the Admiral want to go?"

"Well, take me to see the fireflies. "Li Ran hasn't seen his initial ship for a long time, and he really misses it.

"Got it, Admiral, come with me. ”

Emden put the notes into the ship's space, a habit she and Nuremberg had learned.

Li Ran followed Emden through the slightly rough lime road that had not yet been fully developed, looking at the trees on both sides that had just been cut down, it was obvious that the development progress of Island A was going to BC, and the two islands were much worse.

Here, after all, she was given to Bismarck, her character, alas.

"Emden, I have a question for you. ”

"Admiral, please. ”

"Well, it's nothing. Li Ran thought about it or didn't ask, Bismarck's affairs should be known for himself, since they are all lovers, then it is better to confess, thinking of Bismarck's character, it seems to be tough, but it is actually a soft cat, he smiled and said:

"Let's go. ”

Emden was a little confused, she glanced at Helena, and saw that Helena just shook her head slightly, meaning that she didn't understand either.

She could only suppress her doubts, and then silently led Li Ran to continue through the lime road, and finally arrived at the place where the destroyers were after ten minutes.

When Li Ran arrived, all the destroyers who were helping to clean up the scrap on the island put down their things and greeted them.

"Admiral, I miss you so much. ”

And the fireflies were still the same, seeing Li Ran coming, she immediately ran over quickly, and a heroic head hammer gently crashed into Li Ran's arms.
