Chapter 268: Speculation
After the meeting ended, Li Ran signaled that the ship girls could go out, and he needed to be quiet for a while.
Everyone looked at each other, and although they were worried, they all glanced at Bismarck meaningfully.
Helena, when Bismarck was about to leave, shook her head gently and said:
"You can't go, I'm afraid the Admiral needs someone to accompany him right now. β
Bismarck was stunned, and by the time he reacted, Helena had closed the door of the conference room gently.
Bismarck was a little apprehensive in her heart, but when she turned her head to look at Li Ran frowning, burying her head in processing the information submitted by Helena, she suddenly felt a little distressed.
After thinking about it again, she still took a gentle step, came behind Li Ran, and gently rubbed Li Ran's shoulder with her hand:
"Ah Ran, as I said, you can rely on us a lot, just as you want me to rely on you a lot, I don't want you to show this expression. β
"Bismarck, haven't you left yet?" Li Ran stopped writing, he suddenly felt so tired, originally thought that the admiral was just a job, maybe he could let himself pass through and live a life of worry-free food and clothing, he also thought that he had the opportunity to roam the world, but the reality was that a lot of troubles followed, and he always looked a little unlucky, many things obviously had nothing to do with him, but he got up and caused a fuss.
"Ah Ran, I know you've always wanted to make everyone's port area prosperous and powerful, but are you in a hurry?"
Bismarck actually knew Li Ran's thoughts, not only her, but all the ship's mothers knew it.
Li Ran carried out the training month plan, sent all the shipwives to Mishima to be responsible for the operation, and the establishment of the six departments, all of which showed Li Ran's determination to build a town guard.
However, all these things have been compressed into less than three months, which seems a little rushed.
"I know, but I don't know why, there is a voice in my heart that keeps urging me to develop faster, or it will be too late. β
"Ah Ran, have you also seen the white-haired ship girl?"
Bismarck's words made Li Ran's body stiffen, and he said with some weakness:
"No, it's the first time I've ...... either"
"I'm going to be angry if you lie to me. β
Bismarck also showed her delicate side of women at this time, and they all said that the IQ of women in love declined quickly, but Bismarck is obviously not the kind of ordinary woman, she is a ship girl.
In addition, she is originally a very calm character, and she will not hesitate to carry out orders, as long as it is about Li Ran, she will pay attention to it silently.
Li Ran was not surprised when she heard Prince Eugen's report on the public channel just now, and her intuition as a woman told her that Li Ran probably knew the identity of the white-haired ship's mother, and even met the white-haired ship's mother.
"Bismarck, did anyone tell you anything?"
Li Ran's mind was in a hurry, he didn't know how to tell Bismarck about these things, but he believed that Lexington and Saratoga would not reveal what they had gone out that night.
"Ah Ran, I won't ask, if you don't want to say it, I can understand. Bismarck looked at Li Ran's silent appearance, and knew that he was afraid that Li Ran knew, but Bismarck has never been the kind of ship lady who takes the initiative to ask other people's secrets, not to mention that after becoming a lover with Li Ran, she hopes more and more that she will not interfere with Li Ran's judgment.
"Bismarck, it's nothing to tell you, I thought there were things to hide, and I would tell them until I found out the truth, but now I find that I was naΓ―ve. Li Ran smiled bitterly, then reached out and gently held Bismarck's hand rubbing his shoulder, and whispered:
"Actually, before the training month, didn't the port area be attacked by the deep sea from the unknown sea? You all attacked that night, and I actually went out once, because my communication with you was artificially interfered with, and the source of the interference signal has not been ascertained so far, but after that trip, I did meet with a ship lady, although she claimed to be neither a ship girl nor the deep sea, but I believe that she is related to the deep sea. β
"What's her name?" Bismarck frowned, she thought that before, the atmosphere in the port area seemed to be inexplicably stiff and weird, it turned out that it was because of this?
Li Ran actually concealed the fact that he got a pocket watch with a photo of himself and his sister from Pachino Fortress-Pachina, so he thought about it for a while, and then said:
"She calls herself Pachino Fortress, but I haven't heard of any ship girls or deep seas with such a name. β
Li Ran felt that he seemed to have heard this name when he was playing games, but when he abandoned the pit or was still playing games, he only remembered the Chinese names of the seven famous flagships on the deep sea side, and the English names were still a little unfamiliar.
Bismarck thought for a moment, and then she suddenly recalled what Beizhai had said in her letter, as if the deep-sea fortress Ji in the Pacific theater was not one, but one, and the name seemed to be this?
"When Kitazhai wrote a letter, it seems that there was something about the name, but Fortress Ji actually refers to the fortress of the Pacific Theater of Operations-Sub-A and SubB, two sisters, they appear together like Akagi Fukaga in the deep sea, the difference is that they are not aircraft carrier mothers, but fierce monsters equipped with 100 large triple main guns and 50 deep-sea bombers Type II., but Kitazhai said that she thinks that the two fortresses in the Pacific Theater are not deep-sea flagship-level powerhouses, but wingmen. β
Li Ran suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, isn't this the activity he was still fighting before he abandoned the pit?
2015 June 1st Event EX-4.
This is the only activity he completed before he abandoned the pit, and the subsequent activities didn't seem to be very careful, and then he abandoned the pit because he was a soldier.
Is it a wingman? So, no, no......
"Bismarck, are the names of these two fortresses you are talking about, Augusta Fortress and Syracuse Fortress Ji?
"Ah Ran, how do you know?" Bismarck was a little curious, this is what Beizhai told himself, the two fortresses in the Pacific Theater have a very strange request, that is, they will not refuse the challenge, but if they want to challenge them, there will be two fleets at most, and there must be two heavy cruisers in each team.
Many of the admirals of the town guard mansion were overwhelmed, and as a result, in the past, the fortress Ji only sank the heavy cruiser Niang, but let the other ships live a way, which is also a strange existence in the deep-sea flagship.
"Sure enough, I think I know the identity of Pachino Fortress, and she's probably the real Fortress Hime. β
"What do you mean?"
"It means that Pachino Fortress has spread her power evenly among her two subordinates, although I don't know what drove her to do this, but this is probably the reason why the deep sea invasion of the White Crane Line was able to be quelled so quickly before the Pacific War, after all, if the duel is not the real fortress Ji, I'm afraid with the strength of Governor Xiaoxiao, it can still be handled. β
Li Ran finally understood something, why when he informed the Pacific Governor of the information before, the White Crane Line was already in an emergency at that time, but Xiaoxiao still looked unhurried, and it also proved that the matter was quickly calmed down.
Li Ran thought that the deep sea was very weak, but his own ship mother was injured after encountering the deep sea, and he found out that it was not, and the original contempt for the deep sea was put away.
However, only now did he understand why the White Crane Line would be recovered so quickly before the Pacific Theater.
Because the two deep-sea flagships in the Pacific Theater are not the existence of real flagship strength, but deputies.
Bismarck paused, and then felt a little incredible, but Beizhai should not deceive herself, she frowned:
"Did the Admiral guess something?"
Li Ran shook his head, and he sighed:
"I just know the identity of the person I saw, but I don't know if the white-haired ship girl you and Bai Nuoyan met is also Pachino Fortress, if it's not the same person, I'm afraid things will be complicated. β
Li Ran's heart was still a little lighter, and Bismarck inadvertently helped him remember some useful things.
