Before leaving, Li Ran saw the golden sea fangs carrier-based aircraft released by Saratoga escorting them all the way, and he said to Lexington with a smile:

"Your sister seems to care about you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"This is her duty to learn, after all, the commander has agreed to leave the port area under her and Richelieu's management during this time, so during this time, the safety of the port sky will be entrusted to her. ”

"yes, but I believe Gaga. Li Ran leaned against the railing, this was the first time he had left Xiguang Island since he crossed, it felt a little strange, he said with emotion:

"It's been almost two months in the blink of an eye, and this summer is coming to an end. ”

"Yes, the port area has also grown little by little with the efforts of the commander. ”

"Lexington, you are wrong, not because of my efforts, but because of your efforts, I can be where I am today. ”

"Commander, as always?"

"What do you mean by the same as always?"

"It's nothing, the sea breeze is just right today, I haven't enjoyed it for a long time. ”

"Lexington, what is your life like at the First Ship Lady Academy?"

"Life at the Academy?"

"Well, I haven't asked you all this time, after all, it was thanks to the fireflies that I was able to let you stay in Minato, I really want to know what kind of place that academy is, and I want to see it when I have the chance. ”

"Academy?" Lexington's eyes flashed with tenderness:

"It's home, I didn't meet the commander's previous home, and I was able to find peace of mind there, although I was inevitably invited by those admirals repeatedly, but for me and Gaga, that place has been living since the beginning of awakening. ”

"Do you feel at ease?" Li Ran muttered to himself, and he said with some frustration:

"Isn't it a bit ...... to stay by my side in that case?"

"No, although the academy is very good, but the feeling of staying by the commander's side is different, because everyone in the academy is just to improve their training, and they are running around every day to find the meaning of survival. ”

"What's the trouble?"

"For example, some ship girls are belligerent, some ship girls are lazy, and when everyone gets along with each other, because there is no admiral, so joking sometimes goes too far, and the academy is sometimes very uneasy by the ship girls, but I really miss everyone when it comes to it. ”

"Lexington, I'm worried about the Academy, this time something so big happened. ”

"Yes, but I'm sure the academy can handle it, because they're here in Yorktown, and the three sisters are very powerful, even better than me. ”

"You're talking about Yorktown, the Bumblebees and the Enterprise. Li Ran sighed in his heart, but the fate of these three sisters in history was a bit miserable, how could he feel that this time the First Ship Niang Academy was cut off from the outside world, and the situation of these three sisters was probably not good.

Lexington didn't know what Li Ran was thinking, and her tone was full of depression:

"Yes, the three of them have always advanced and retreated with the academy, and this time there is such a big thing in the academy, I think they must be in a hurry now. ”

"Don't worry, although the situation seems to be a little bad now, but the war is not changing rapidly, maybe the information will come to us, and the situation will ......"

Bai Nuoyan's voice suddenly came, interrupting Li Ran's words to comfort Lexington:

"Li Ran, the big thing is not good, I just received the latest telegram, and not long ago came the news that the situation on the White Crane Line has deteriorated! The first ship Niang Academy has completely lost contact, and the combined fleet reinforced by the front line is besieged by the deep sea, and the Governor of the Pacific Theater, Xiao Xiao, has given urgent notice to abandon the White Crane Line and retreat to the second line of defense if necessary!"

"Give up the White Crane Line!" Li Ran hurriedly walked back to the cab, he picked up the telegram and took a cursory look:

"What is the second line of defense?"

"The White Crane Line moved back two hundred nautical miles, relying on a new line of defense built by the dense town guards along the way. ”

"But then, won't the Star Islands be abandoned?" Lexington's tone was full of incredulity, if he gave up the White Crane Line, it was not just as simple as giving up a golden route, the second phase also meant that the operation to rescue the first ship Niang Academy would be postponed indefinitely, so that the Academy would be in danger!

"That's right, the scale of the deep sea this time is too terrifying, and the Pacific Governor's Mansion counted the number of deep-sea fleets that attacked the White Crane Line and the First Ship Niang Academy this time by walking around the observation points. A rough estimate is no less than 1.5 million!"

Brooklyn watched Li Ran and Lexington hurriedly run into the cab, she and the raider hurriedly walked in, and as soon as she entered, she heard Bai Nuoyan say this, and her face suddenly turned pale.

The raider also panicked at this time, and she hurriedly asked:

"What about the Admirals? Isn't the Governor's Mansion reacting to such a large-scale deep sea?"

"I'm sorry, that's all for the time being, Li Ran, what should we do now?

"Go, the Thundering Town Guard Mansion is behind the White Crane Line, it should be safe, but I'm not sure how long this security status quo can last, do you have a way to contact the Governor, I have an important piece of information to tell him. ”

"Contact the Governor's Palace?" Bai Nuoyan sighed:

"I'm sorry, I don't have that kind of authority to contact the Admiral above the rank of General for the time being, let alone the Governor, but if I look for that guy from Lei Ming, I may be able to get in touch. ”

"Please, then, go full speed, the situation is getting worse faster than we can imagine. ”

Lexington looked at Li Ran's face was pale, she was a little worried, and said softly:

"Commander, do you want to?"

Brooklyn also reacted at this time, and she hurriedly shouted:

"Are you going to tell that?"

Li Ran smiled bitterly, looking at Bismarck with some doubts, he remembered that he hadn't talked about the letter, but at this time, it was better to appease the emotions of several ship girls from the First Ship Niang Academy, he sorted out the somewhat chaotic thoughts in his head, and then said:

"I don't know if it's true or not, but if I can contact the Governor of the Pacific, I might be able to provide some information and help some. After all, it was the transformation of the core that led to the failure of the front-line fleet, and I think that now that the situation has deteriorated, no matter who is behind it, I am afraid that the situation is out of their control, and they are afraid that they are about to show their feet at this time.

It's just that the Governor's Mansion should have been caught off guard by a large-scale deep-sea raid right now, and what we can do is to help the Governor stabilize his mind as soon as possible, of course, provided that we can contact him. ”

Everyone had to admire Li Ran's calmness, they nodded, and Bai Nuoyan took the lead in saying:

"You're right, the core of the transformation of the fake is for profit, and profit is the motive that drives people to take risks, I don't believe that anyone really wants to let this Pacific theater fall into the hands of the deep sea, in that way, it will damage the core interests of the major families in the Pacific theater, the largest of the seven theaters, and once the Pacific theater collapses, those land countries may have trouble sleeping. ”

"So we have to hurry. Li Ran somewhat understood why there was the name of the disappeared town guard on the core of the fake transformation, but he had never thought about dirty politics, after all, he had always believed what Lexington said, the Admiral could not interfere in politics and not be involved in some secular wars, but now that the situation has deteriorated to this point, I am afraid that Lexington's good impression of the Admiral will be broken.

Half an hour later, the "Yunyan Princess" of the Four Seas Commercial Bank sailed into the dock of Shoufu in Leiming Town, and as Li Ran and Bai Nuoyan expected, the erosion on the front line was worse than they imagined.

The wharf of the Thundering Town Guard Mansion is moored with ships flying various flags, many of which have more or less scars on their bodies.

The arrival of Li Ran and Bai Nuoyan immediately attracted the attention of Atago, who was in charge of the security work at the dock, and she immediately signaled the merchant ships to give way to the Yunyan Princess with a flag.

The maritime merchants still complained a little, but when they saw a man and a woman in the white admiral's uniform on the ship, they chose to shut up with each other.

Li Ran and Bai Nuoyan disembarked with their respective ship girls, and then saw the Atago.

"Two Admirals, who are you?"

"I urgently want to see you Thundering Admiral, there is important information!" Li Ran said in a serious tone.

Atago's face was solemn:

"Please come with me. ”
