The prestige of this grilled fish and chips was not denied, and Li Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

Yat-sen also seemed to be accustomed to the atmosphere of the port area, Li Ran looked at Pinghai and Saratoga without stingy praise, he thought for a while and said:

"Well, I have a proposal, the kitchen ban will be abolished, but Prestige's current cooking skills are not skilled enough, I suggest that Prestige can help in the kitchen in the future, after all, everyone has their own cooking, and Prestige can learn from everyone, what do you think?"

"Since the Admiral said so, then we can only agree. Lexington said this, and then something came to mind:

"Admiral, what are you going to do about the assignment of the Seven Governors?"

"After I finish the ship viewing ceremony, bring the North House back, I won't forgive the guy who threatens the North House. ”

"But it's the Governor. ”

"Governor, so what, I know that Governor Xiaoxiao and Governor Chen Yao have already helped me a lot in this game, but the governors of other war zones seem to look down on me, a major general who suddenly appeared, in this way, although it is a little troublesome and annoying, but I can't become a puppet, Xiguang Town Guard Mansion is my territory. ”

"That's right. Lexington nodded, but then thought of her replacement, not so simple a person, and she said:

"Admiral, since you returned to Hong Kong, when the training month was going on, you went to sea so many times, did you go to the Seven War Zones?"

"yes, I thought you didn't find out. ”

"Sure enough, no wonder you set the order that no one can contact you during the training month, but how did you run so far in a month?"

"Underground fortifications, the elves are actually hiding a lot of discoveries, otherwise why do you think I would give the order that no one can approach the research building?"

"But ......"

"It's nothing, although I traveled all over the seven war zones with the help of the equipment found in the underground fortifications that month, but the equipment was too badly deteriorated, and it was scrapped after the eighth use, and now even if you want me to take you to experience it, it is impossible. ”

"Well, but can the Admiral tell me what kind of device it is?"

"I don't know, I can only tell you, in fact, a large part of the resource consumption of the training month was falsely reported by me, and most of the transformation core was also put into the use of equipment. ”

Saratoga heard Li Ran say this, and she finally understood why there was such a big gap in the input and exit of resources these days.

Seeing that Gaga was about to go crazy, Li Ran hurriedly raised his hand and said apologetically:

"Gaga, don't be angry, don't I confess and be lenient now?"

"Hmph!" Saratoga turned her head, what should she do, after all, Li Ran is the Admiral, even if he doesn't say it, I'm afraid he won't understand that there is a problem with the liquidation of resource inputs, since Li Ran decided to tell herself, she can only say angrily:

"Then Miss Ben will listen to the Admiral's explanation. ”

Li Ran smiled bitterly, then muttered for a while, and began to tell about the things he experienced during the training month:

"Since the beginning of the training month, when I was training with you, I would go to a port area every day through those strange equipment in the underground fortifications, first I went to the Pacific Governor's Town Guard's Mansion, I don't know who made that equipment, but through that equipment, I was able to get to the Governor's Town Guard Mansion accurately every time. ”

"The reason why I went to visit the Seven Governors' Castle was ostensibly out of my whim, but these visits have made me understand that the value of the Death Route has long been watched by many people. ”

"That's why the Admiral chose to cooperate with the seven Governors?" Lexington finally understood why the Admiral, who had originally refused foreign cooperation, suddenly changed his temper, but it seems that the Commander did not completely open the port area in the assassination of Training Month, and it seems that Twilight Island still does not have any intention of opening up to the outside world, which makes Lexington a little puzzled:

"However, the Admiral only opened the three islands, and the Dawn Island is still closed by the other party, why is this?"

"Actually, I chose to cooperate with the seven governors, because we alone can't guarantee the peaceful development of the three islands, I don't like trouble, and I hate conflicts with others, so I deliberately talked to those governors about the death route, and by the way, I also mentioned the news of the attack of the deep sea in the unknown sea, but I didn't expect the seven governors to be so interested in it. ”

In fact, Li Ran also revealed that he had seen some of the words that Pachina said to himself, such as "the unknown is the most terrifying", although Li Ran didn't understand, but as the governors of the seven major war zones, they were all old foxes, and they had a wide range of knowledge, and they were also curious about Li Ran's identity, and they were also wary.

Because of curiosity and vigilance, the seven governors agreed to Li Ran's "rude conditions", of course, in return, the trade value of the death route, and the military base construction plan of the three subordinate islands of Xiguang Island, especially Island C, the geographical delegation only tested Li Ran's sincerity.

Li Ran also deceived everyone at that time, and the geographical delegation was not completely unaware of Li Ran's cooperation with the governors.

It can be said that Li Ran only took advantage of the asymmetry of information, and some things were unilaterally true, but because Li Ran himself was the collaborator of the governor, and he was the mysterious person outside the treaty in the Great Voyage Exploration Plan, and the seven governors would not tell others about their plans, it can be said that Li Ran provided a great temptation, that is, the unknown sea.

Whether it was Governor Xiaoxiao or Governor Chen Yao, the two of them had contact with Li Ran, and they were also the first choice to understand that the geographical location of Li Ran's Xiguang Island was really suitable for serving as a bridgehead for the Great Voyage Exploration Program.

The reason why I didn't choose the edge of other theaters of war was because only Li Ran's direction was completely far away from the range of those large deep-sea habitats.

"But what price did the Admiral pay?"

"The price? I just drew a big pie, the seven governors are also human beings in nature, although Xiaoxiao and Chen Yao are really worried about the safety of their respective war zones, and the other five governors have to agree to my cooperation because of interests. ”

"Is the Admiral taking advantage of people's greed?" Yi Xian pointed out sharply, although she didn't know what Li Ran was planning, but she could feel it.

"Yes, greed is the greatest original sin. Li Ran snapped his fingers, and then said calmly:

"You know, for the seven adults who became governors, their position is unshakable, but they also have their own pursuits, as long as they can see the benefits that they can't refuse, even if they know that they are bait, they can only take the bait. ”

Lexington sighed, "But Admiral, it's too dangerous to do that. ”

"I understand, but there is no way, the unknown sea is like a sharp sword above our heads, it may fall at any time, and the position of our town guard is too dangerous. ”

Pinghai still doesn't understand:

"But what exactly is the benefit of the Admiral?"

"Thirty years ago, the United Fleet of the Seven Theaters failed to explore the uncharted seas, and after such a long time, there is an opportunity to put it on the table, do you think these governors will give up this opportunity to go down in history?,"

Li Ran leaned back in his chair, then looked at the ceiling, and then said:

"To be honest, I agreed to this cooperation, and I also have my own plans, and there are some things that I have to figure out. ”

Everyone was silent, and they knew that the Admiral could say so much that they couldn't continue to ask.
