Chapter 254: It's Family

[Restore two more, three thousand words of big chapter begging for subscription reward, this month I insisted on two more, I was sorry last month! On the first day, I hope everyone votes for recommendation! grateful!]

Li Ran looked at the merchant ships in front of him and consciously retreated to the side, he felt that maybe this was the deterrent effect brought by the status of the admiral.

This world is always the same as the earth, it is a world of supreme strength, but on the earth, he was born in a powerful country, so he did not show so nakedness.

The scene in front of him now made him wake up from the world of this world maybe just a ship R game, and made him feel for the first time that this world is not as gentle as it seems.

The deep sea is not the weak existence in the game.

"Admiral, it seems that Bismarck and the others should have caused a great sensation, and they can attract so many maritime merchants in just one day, I'm afraid it ......"

"What do you mean?"

Li Ran frowned, he continued to drive forward with his private yacht, and he could clearly notice the gaze of those merchant ships looking at him.

"Maybe someone deliberately leaked the news of yesterday's battle, should I investigate? ”

As an intelligence expert, Helena is extremely sensitive to these things, and she feels a little unhappy, which is obviously deliberately exposing her town guard to the public.

"No, although Taoguang Yanghui is indeed a strategy that we originally developed, but now that someone has used Yangmou, let's take it, this is okay, we don't have to go all over the world to publicize, since someone wants to explore our strength, then sometimes it's not impossible to show off your muscles. ”

Li Ran couldn't help but think of Huaxia, his motherland, while engaging in the economy, while grasping scientific research and military, and making a lot of money in a muffled voice, it is also applicable to his current town to guard the house, however, sometimes the national strategy involves too much after all, if the town guards the house, since the established strategy has been broken, then simply start from today, let the banner of Xiguang town guard the government be more public.

"Wouldn't it be okay to show off your muscles?" Helena felt that Li Ran's words were very easy to understand, but they contained great strategic wisdom, indeed, she had never understood why Li Ran wanted to open the three islands while forbidding the external exchange of Twilight Island, and now she roughly understood.

"Admiral, you originally used the reason for the assassination to cover up the truth of our port area?"

"BIGGO!" Li Ran snapped his fingers, he didn't plan to hide it for too long for his own ship's wife, not to mention that he had just been attacked by the deep sea, he had already changed the established policy of steady and steady fighting, and originally wanted to wait for all his shipwives to be transformed and then show their strength, but obviously Bismarck's victory this time was used by someone with a heart.

"Helena, why do you think intelligence is so important?"

"That's because knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, this is what Pinghai told me, which belongs to the art of war in China. ”

"That's right, knowing oneself and knowing the other side can survive a hundred battles, intelligence work is, to put it bluntly, to grasp more information earlier than the enemy, and I set up the intelligence department for this purpose, but now I haven't found the right person to help you share the work, but it's hard for you. ”

Li Ran showed a wry smile, even after half a year, his own port territory is so big, although the rules of this world are simple, but it involves all aspects of the game, although he has the identity of the admiral as a shield, but he has experienced the trip to the Far East theater, has seen the behavior of those so-called veteran admirals, and has learned the methods of the governors, he faintly feels a sense of crisis.

Also, he thought about what Pachina said to himself that night.

The unknown is the scariest thing.

"Helena, we still know too little about this world, I used to think about making you strong enough first, and even exposing your strength when you can be on your own, in fact, today's events have taught me a lesson, maybe I shouldn't hide it anymore. ”

"What do you mean?"

"We must speed up our external expansion, although the current geographical location of the port area is very important, but it is also very embarrassing, we are located in the central node of the Far Eastern Theater and the Taipingyan Theater, although there are death routes and relatively safe Far Eastern routes, but in the end our strategic depth is too small, maybe we should not be intimidated by the so-called unknown seas, since the seven governors have intended to go to the unknown waters to explore, then can we take advantage of the current advantages, act first?"

"The Admiral wants to enter the uncharted seas?"

"Do we have any other way? The port area is becoming more and more prosperous now, but the problem is obviously exposed, don't look at the fact that so many maritime merchants are here now, the geographical location of the port area is always too embarrassing.

Not every merchant has the courage to trade across thousands of nautical miles, although capital makes people crazy, but I think many maritime merchants are always sparing their lives, so we can't rely too much on what benefits the outside world can bring us, and resources can't be limited by foreign imports, otherwise once the outside world cuts off our logistical supplies, our town guard will probably be paralyzed at the first time, which is why I don't dare to build recklessly. ”

Li Ran's words made Helena fall into deep thought, indeed, when she went south to the Far East Theater and the South Sea Theater to explore the intelligence of the Four Seas Firm, she was already keenly aware of the unique advantages of those towns and guards with their backs on land, and the resources of a lonely overseas town guard like her own port area were indeed a very thorny problem.

She thought for a moment, then looked up at the regressive scenery outside the cabin, the searching, questioning, jealous, and awe-inspiring gazes of the humans on the merchant ships, and her heart was slightly awe-inspiring, and then she said in a firm tone:

"No matter what the future holds, Admiral, the port area has me with you, and everyone with you. ”

"I know, but although we have to rely on ourselves, but we can't refuse the kindness of the maritime merchants like last time, since they have the heart to talk about cooperation, it proves that the value of Mishima has gradually emerged, what we have to do is to magnify this value, but we have to pinch the gold trade right in our hands.

It's up to us to have the final say here, and I hope those people see that, as I said, I hate trouble, but I don't mind eliminating it. ”

Li Ran's tone is no longer the same cowardice as before, but full of a faint majesty, although he doesn't know who is targeting him, but I am afraid that it is related to his previous involvement in the transformation of the core fraud case, and the previous assassination case made him recognize the reality.

After all, this world still has to rely on strength to speak, and his own strength is all based on the ship girls, although this feeling makes him a little uncomfortable, but he has already understood why Lexington said that the ship girls are sometimes just weapons.

It's just that Li Ran doesn't like this kind of somewhat desperate statement, the ship mother is already a family member for him, a traverser, and he instinctively feels disgusted with this kind of thing.

Helena looked at Li Ran silently, she looked at Li Ran's slightly darkened side face, and the sunlight that slipped into the cabin outside sprinkled on her admiral, revealing a temperament that made her heart pound.

At this time, a cool sea breeze blew, which made Helena's eyes clear, and her pretty face was slightly red.

Helena, when is it now, how can you still have that kind of thought?

However, she still cared a little about something, so she muttered for a while, and then said:

"Admiral, can I ask you a question?"

"What?" Li Ran said without replying, his tone was a little relaxed, and as he spoke, he increased the horsepower of the yacht.

The yacht rowed an arrogant white wave on the surface of the sea.

In the distance, he could already vaguely see the twilight flag fluttering on the shore of Island A, and he squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the masts of the merchant ships on both sides of the seagulls not far away, he felt that he was still in a good mood.

This time, perhaps those who are interested can publicize it and bring a lot of money to themselves, and it just so happens that the repair of the construction device needs a lot of money, which just fills this gap.

Although he was targeted by Yangmou, maybe it was a good thing?

"What are we to the Admiral?"

Helena sometimes had nightmares about the sisters holding on to the port, knowing that the Admiral didn't mean it, but she was still terrified that it would ......

Li Ran turned his head to look at Helena and found that her hand was trembling slightly, and he felt a slight pain in his heart, but he still said in a relaxed tone:

"You are the only family I have in this world. ”

As he spoke, Li Ran gently stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Helena's hand, and then looked straight ahead, without a trace of confusion.

Helena felt the warm touch of her palm, and a hint of softness flashed in her eyes, although she was sad, everyone in the sky should be able to feel it.

"Admiral, I'll go to the front and make a way for you, or I'm afraid Bismarck and the others won't know that the Admiral is coming. ”

"Hmm. Li Ran watched Helena pull out her hand gently, he looked at the back of the beauty, and the long purple hair was blown away by the sea breeze that slipped into the cockpit.

Li Ran watched Helena jump off the sea, unfold her ship's suit, and open the way in front, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes:

I'm sorry, Helena, there are some things I know apologize won't help, so I can't promise you for the time being, because I don't know if I'll ever come back to that world one day.

Helena moved forward against the sea breeze, and the light cruiser's outfit was not too ostentatious, but the golden light flashed a trace of surprise in the eyes of the maritime merchants on both sides, after all, although the golden armor is rarely sold by the admirals, there are always some admirals who are forced to sell some for their livelihood, and the price of each golden ship suit is very high.

Therefore, in the hearts of these maritime merchants, the cooperation value of the Xiguang Town Shoufu has been invisibly improved by several points.

The town guard mansion that can be equipped with golden ship outfits has great potential.

What's more, the Death Plane is now in the hands of the mysterious Admiral who is driving a private yacht at this time.

In the hearts of the maritime merchants, their respective abacus has been running rapidly.

Those who can make a living in the ocean, where the deep sea can appear at any time, either become food for sharks in the sea, or be torn to pieces by the naval guns of the deep sea, or plunder enough wealth for the rich side.

But apparently no one will feel that there is much money.

The magic of capital, the windfall profits of ocean trade, and the value that could be created by the future Death Routes were enough for them to gamble.

Li Ran didn't know that from the moment he stepped into Island A, a road that deviated from his original intention was inevitably placed in front of him......
