Chapter 110: It's So Capricious
Li Ran originally had some good feelings for these maritime merchants, but every time he saw this group of maritime merchants, he was in a group, and since their arrival, his original town guard mansion had become a little noisy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Ran could feel that Bismarck was already a little dissatisfied, and because of the arrival of Z24 and Z28, these maritime merchants undoubtedly let themselves have no time to be alone with Bismarck, which was really annoying.
Although making money is very important, these are insignificant compared to the happiness of the ship girls.
The sea merchants looked at each other, they were undoubtedly following Garno, but it was obvious that the young admiral did not seem to be in a good mood right now, so the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Li Ran had a hint of anger on his face, these maritime merchants are here again, everyone is watching what they say, everyone is waiting for others to make a decision, this is the same as the grass on the wall, no, they are the grass on the wall, a group of damn speculators.
He Hai felt that Li Ran's mood had become a little bad for some reason, and he was still a little puzzled, but obviously he couldn't get involved with those guys now, so he hurriedly said to Li Ran in a humble tone:
"Lord Admiral, this time I am practicing for your ship lady and Miss Bai, since the practice is over, I will leave first. ”
"Boss He, please. Li Ran's face softened slightly, or this fat man knows how to observe words and feelings, unlike these guys, he looked at the old man in the lead coldly, and now his face was kind, and his tone was full of indifference:
"Canolo, if you have anything to say, can you?"
Garnolius always felt a little bad, but the value of that batch of misty incense wood was too eye-catching, he didn't allow anyone to interfere sideways, and now the arrival of so many maritime merchants made him make a wrong decision in a hurry, and he said with a smile:
"Admiral Li, the old man is here this time to talk to you about the cooperation of the fog fragrant wood, about the aid of the supply station, I don't think you need to let He Hai be in charge of any kind of nobody, just leave it to me......"
Li Ran waved his hand, and he sneered:
"Enough of that?"
The smile on Garnollio's face disappeared, and he suddenly felt that he had been shrewd all his life, and he forgot an important thing in a hurry, that is, although the young man in front of him looked down-and-out now, he had the identity of a commander, and the existence of this identity, even if this young man was down, he could not be blackmailed.
And all the maritime merchants, especially some small maritime merchants of the Black Gold Business Alliance, saw that Garnolius said this, and thought that Li Ran had relented, and they began to make various demands on Li Ran while praising Garnuoliu's ginger for being old and spicy.
Li Ran just listened, and then the anger on his face became more and more obvious, but then he laughed angrily, and his tone was full of ill intentions:
"Guys, do you think Li Ran is a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch?"
Bismarck didn't understand why the Admiral was suddenly angry, but she could also hear that the words of these maritime merchants just now were full of threat, and she motioned for the destroyers to retreat at this time, and she stood quietly beside Li Ran, the ship unfurled.
The faces of all the maritime merchants turned pale, especially Garnoliu, who felt that it was not good, as soon as he saw Li Ran and the Four Seas Merchants walking so closely, the original Four Seas Commercial Bank was almost bankrupt and he was among them, but the eldest lady of the Four Seas Commercial Bank became the Admiral, and the previous layout was all smashed, and today he saw the close relationship between Bai Nuoyan and Li Ran, he couldn't help but get anxious, and the old fox who has been crisscrossing the shopping mall, as long as he is old, will always show flaws, and there will always be mistakes.
This time, Garnoliu wanted to use the drama of these ignorant maritime merchants to "force the palace", but the object was chosen the wrong person.
Garno listened to the words of those maritime merchants more and more unscrupulously, while the young man's expression became more and more calm, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he was about to explain, but he heard Li Ran say coldly:
"Bismarck, send-off!"
"Admiral Li, aren't you afraid that you will be targeted in the sea trade in the future?" A maritime merchant who was not long-sighted said maliciously at this time, he looked at Li Ran who became a lieutenant younger than himself, and thought of his experience of being expelled from the Admiral Academy, and now with the encouragement of Canolho, the flame of jealousy burned his reason.
As soon as this sentence fell, everyone present knew that it was not good, and this sentence simply tore their faces.
When Li Ran heard this, he finally laughed, and then she said:
"Get out, in the future, if I see your ship on the high seas on Dawn Island, I will sink it, if you don't believe it, you can try it! Bismarck, expel it by force, I am in charge of my territory, I originally wanted to patiently talk to you about cooperation, but unfortunately, dogs can't change to eat, you make too much money, you are blinded by lard, and you don't keep your eyes open to see, where you stand, whose territory is it!"
"Everyone, please leave quickly, or I will use violent means!" Bismarck didn't understand why Li Ran turned his face at the seaman, but she didn't have to care about it and didn't want to care about it, as a soldier and his ship's wife, it was enough to obey the order, so she aimed the ship's main gun at those ships.
Garnolius was a little unable to get off the stage at this time, he suddenly remembered the back of He Hai leaving one step ahead of time just now, and he finally reacted, so his tone was full of loneliness:
"Admiral Li, this matter is my fault, let's go. ”
Li Ran didn't even look at him, but turned around and walked towards the town guard mansion.
Kokang and Keeling followed Li Ran, while Z24, Z28 and U47 looked at Bismarck's back, their small eyes flashing with admiration.
Li Ran took Keeling and Kokang's hands, and then felt that he seemed to be impulsive again, but it didn't seem to be impulsive, this short day made him understand that it was not a bad thing to be quiet in the town guard mansion, and it was really a very laborious thing to deal with businessmen, and he gradually understood a truth, since the maritime merchants only came for profit, then there must be disputes with the interests of those who came, and there were a lot of messy trivial matters, he felt that since he became a commander, if he still had to be restrained by those guys, it would be too embarrassing。
Moreover, Li Ran is not afraid of these maritime merchants making waves, after all, now the national navy exists in name only, and the escort tasks are all taken over by the shipwives of the major towns and the free shipwives of the mercenary groups, and if you want to take the death route, it is necessary to come to Xiguang Island for the last wave of supplies, and his original idea is actually very simple, that is, to collect tolls.
But not long ago, he was stimulated to the sensitive nerves of tariff exemption and so on, and he realized that he was already a stateless person, and now he did not need to be bound by any law, and Twilight Island was his own territory, and he was the master here, and he didn't need to pretend to others at all. Therefore, he simply tore the fig leaf between him and the maritime merchants, and he felt too annoyed.
This feeling is like when you open a company, and then forget to bring the access card and are stopped by the security guard of your own company and not allowed to enter, it's too ridiculous, since you have said that you want to become the flag of the ship's girls, then you are willful, domineering, and it is not a bad thing.
Thinking like this, Li Ran's mood calmed down a lot, and when he returned to the town guard mansion with all the little ones, he received a communication from Bismarck:
"Admiral, is that He Hai also going to be expelled?"
"Let's get rid of them together, but if He Hai is a word, you tell him to wait for the opportunity, and I will contact him again. ”
Li Ran thought about it, this He Hai is still good, but now he has to make a gesture to show those maritime merchants who are above the top, and the dignity of the apprentice admiral is not something they can tarnish with money.
"Understood. Bismarck hung up the communication.
Li Ran felt that people were surprisingly relaxed now, and she originally wanted to make money quickly, and then buy and buy, but after coming into contact with these maritime merchants, she found that sure enough, the hearts of capitalists are black, and the rules of this world seem to be more simple and rude, and the strong are the best.
Li Ran somewhat understood why Bai Nuoyan said that after she became the admiral, her family's business came back to life, just because Bai Nuoyan's identity had changed.
He fell into deep thought, although he had read some books about this world, but he had always thought that the Admiral was just a title and did not have much influence, but he remembered the dotted islands on the chart, which were all town guards, and the places where these town guards were located were the key nodes of this world's maritime trade, and the first line of defense for mankind to resist the invasion of the deep sea.
Li Ran finally understood that he didn't need to be polite to these maritime merchants, because this group of maritime merchants was a group of fat sheep, and the economy of the whole world was controlled by various countries and business alliances, but in essence, it was better to be controlled by a group of fat sheep protected by the admirals The basic order of the world, and it was these town guards who were really fighting against the deep sea on the front line.
It's just that because the Admiral is not allowed to get involved in politics, power struggles and other miscellaneous matters, ordinary people don't have much reverence for the Admiral, which leads to some people who tend to be self-aggrandizing and will self-righteously go to the Admiral for trouble.
Li Ran figured out why the book said that the circle of the admiral was very small, things gathered by like, people by groups, only the admiral and the admiral had a common topic, and as for those maritime merchants, no matter who others, they were just objects who wanted to be attached to the protection of the town guard.
Now these protected people are in turn threatening to protect, which is what Li Ran is most angry about.
However, after driving away these maritime merchants, Li Ran's face fell again, and he leaned back in his chair, looking loveless.
Guo Dare looked at the Admiral's face was not very good, she gently shook his hand and said:
"Admiral, aren't you happy?"
Li Ran looked at the ceiling, and then said, "No, I was so stupid before I thought about it, and I always thought that you would like the town guard mansion to be a little more lively." ”
Keelin took off his shoes and stood on the sofa, put his arms around Li Ran's neck, and then said:
"I don't like it, Admiral, you're such a fool, how can we go to the beach to swim if those guys come." ”
Li Ran was held by Keeling, he was stunned, sat up straight, and rubbed her cheek:
"Then we have to make money in the future, otherwise how can we buy you beautiful clothes and resources?"
Keeling frowned:
"I don't understand, there's an admiral here anyway, and Keeling isn't worried. ”
Li Ran smiled bitterly, he picked up Keeling and put it on the ground, and then he heard Bismarck's steady footsteps, he looked back, laughed at himself, and said:
"It seems that I was impulsive again this time, last time I was angry with you, this time I was angry with outsiders, I don't know who will suffer next time. ”
