Daily life with the ship girl

As soon as He Hai finished speaking, everyone was dumbfounded. No one expected that this fat man was so brave.

Li Ran was also a little stunned. He looked at He Hai's fat face and thought to himself that one should not judge a person by his appearance. This guy actually did not do business with other people, but targeted other admirals and ship girls. However, this was a good idea. It reminded Li Ran of the world-chain theme parks on Earth. However, this kind of thing must be considered in the long run. He thought about it and said:

"He Hai, right? Your idea is very innovative. We will discuss it in detail later."

When all the sea merchants heard what Li Ran said, they became jealous and offered their own tempting conditions.

But Li Ran felt that it was still inferior to He Hai's. What he wanted to make was the scorpion's shit - unique.

Finally, after dealing with the maritime merchants, they reached some preliminary cooperation intentions, and then sent them away, leaving only this fat guy behind.

Li Ran watched as everyone left, and then said to He Hai:

"Now it's just you and me. There are no outsiders here. Just tell me what you think."

Chapter 106: Bold Idea

He Hai was a little nervous. Although he had already memorized the plan before coming, he had been to many garrisons but had never been taken seriously. He didn't hold out hope, but he found that Li Ran was different from other admirals. He sorted out the messy thoughts in his mind and said:

"That's right. This is what I thought. I wonder if you have noticed where the admiral's tutelary fort is located."

Li Ran nodded. Thanks to the latest sea chart given to him by Bai Nuoyan, he knew where he was. It was quite far away from those land countries, but he didn't know what this had to do with He Hai's plan. He asked with some doubts:

"I know, but what does this have to do with your plan?"

"I wonder if the Admiral knows about the upcoming exercise in the Far East Theater. The reason why I want to build a supply station here is precisely because of this exercise."

"Let's not talk about the supply station. I guess I'm more interested in the amusement park project you mentioned for the ship girls and admirals."

"Don't be anxious, Admiral. The supply station is just the first step. It is for customers who want to transfer supplies through the Xiguang Garrison. It is also to bring customers to the Admiral. As for the amusement park, it depends on whether you can attract more merchants after building the supply station.

According to my understanding, your place is not only the starting point of the Death Route, but also an outpost for future operations in unknown waters, and the last garrison in the process from the Pacific Theater to the Far East Theater. In other words, your garrison has become the most important node in the two major theaters as soon as it is established. "

"what do you mean?"

"Through the construction of the supply station, I have predicted that the annual cargo throughput of the port area here, Admiral, is at least 20 million tons."

"Twenty million tons?" Li Ran took a breath of cold air. He was skeptical:

"Impossible. My island is only a few hundred square miles. You've seen the merchants coming to my island now. There are only dozens of them. To be honest, I only earn 100,000 ocean coins a month from these merchants. It's impossible to reach the level you said."

"No, it's because the admiral's fame and reputation are not yet well-known. By the way, I found that there seem to be three other small islands within the admiral's territory, which are located on the route of the Death Course. Do you know where these three islands are?"

"Well, my ship girls have already captured the one 800 miles away, and the remaining two are also being attacked intensively."

"That's right, Admiral. I guess what worries you most right now is not anything else, but the management of these three islands after they are taken over?"

"Yes, you are a very understanding person."

"I originally wanted to build a supply station for free, but I hope that the Admiral can not only build a supply station on your Xiguang Island, but also consider building supply stations on the other three islands. Moreover, if it is an amusement park, I am sure that the Admiral will only worry about whether his life and the lives of the ship girls will be disturbed.

My idea is that if we can take over three islands, then we can build amusement parks on the other three islands. In this way, not only will your life on the main island not be disturbed, but the amusement park can also be built without any scruples. In this way, your life will not be disturbed, and you can also make a little money. What do you think?"

"I have to say that your idea is very good, but if you have to help build all the supply stations, how can that be embarrassing?" Li Ran felt that this fat man might really be able to do something big. He thought about it. After all, cooperation is a two-way thing. The fat man's idea is nothing more than to invest in the amusement park. He thought about it and said:

"How about this, He Hai? I can give you 30% of the annual profit from the supply station, and I will also try to support you with some resources. As for the construction of the amusement park, I will wait until I take over the three islands. If the war goes well, I will let my ship girls escort you to the three islands for a field investigation to see which one is more suitable for an amusement park. Also, I have some ideas here."

"Your Excellency, please feel free to speak."

"Well, I thought that since we are going to build it, we should build a world-class amusement park, which means that it can not only provide a place for the ship girls and admirals to play, but also build some other facilities, such as high-end hotels, etc. I think Boss He should understand better than me that those admirals are not short of money."

"Admiral, do you want to choose one of the three islands to build a large tourist island? This requires too much money, I'm afraid I can't afford it."

"You are quite honest. How about this? You write up your plan in the next few days. By the way, we can sign a contract first. I want you to be the exclusive agent of my garrison, but I don't know who is behind Boss He..."

"Don't worry, Admiral. Although I am not talented, I have always been a one-man business. I don't have to worry about being restricted by others. But I heard that the Admiral cannot interfere..."

"Politics and military?" Li Ran shrugged, then sat up straight and said:

"But I didn't interfere. We only built a supply station to provide some fuel, fresh water and food. It's mainly for civilian use and won't involve other things. Besides, isn't the amusement park also an entertainment industry? It didn't violate those regulations."

"Okay, since the Admiral trusts me, I will go back and write the plan. Of course, I also hope that the Admiral can speed up the attack on the other three islands. By the way, I wonder if the Admiral built a sovereignty monument on the island when he was attacking it?"

Li Ran was stunned for a moment, and he quickly turned around and asked Bismarck who was standing behind him:

“Is there a sovereignty monument on Island C?”

"Yes, Admiral. Lexington asked Richelieu to erect a sovereignty monument after we captured Island C. However, since we haven't made our flag yet, we can't erect a flag. Also, since you haven't set foot on the island yet, or another admiral has gone to the island to witness your sovereignty monument on your behalf, the sovereignty monument will not take effect for the time being. And after the sovereignty monument is erected, it must be reported to the gendarmerie headquarters. These all require procedures."

"Is that so? I'll make time to go there as soon as possible. By the way, if Boss He is free, you can visit the island at will."

"No, since you are busy, I won't bother you anymore. I will go back and sort out the planning documents right now."

"That was hard work."

"You don't have to see me off, Admiral. Please stay."

"It doesn't matter. I'm not a high-ranking official. If Boss He doesn't mind, I, Xiao Li, will do."

"No, etiquette cannot be abolished. Besides, if I shout like that, the other admirals will definitely be dissatisfied."

"Ok."

Li Ran said as he saw He Hai off from the garrison. He then watched the fat man's back as he walked towards the dock. He adjusted his bangs, touched the stubble on his chin, and revealed a pensive expression.

Bismarck had been silently accompanying the admiral. Seeing that Li Ran attached so much importance to this fat man, she asked in surprise:

"Admiral, you don't really want to build a supply station, do you?"

"That's right. He Hai's idea is good, but I'm afraid he's just doing me a favor by helping me build the supply station. He's not as simple as he seems. You can't judge a person by his appearance. But the amusement park plan and whether to build a tourist island will have to wait until your team succeeds in the operation on the three islands before I go back to consider it."

"Why did you say those things?"

"It's just a pie in the sky, a swindle for nothing. Even if He Hai knows he can only look at it and not eat it, he has to agree to this bait. As soon as I kept him, he stood on the opposite side of the sea merchants. Now I'm afraid this guy can only stand on our side. But I have to check his background. By the way, before Lexington goes back this time, I will talk to her and ask her to find out more about He Hai from Bai Nuoyan."

Bismarck felt a little headache with all the twists and turns; she had never liked these things.

Li Ran looked at Bismarck, whose brows were knitted together, and said with a smile:

"Didn't I tell you to just leave these things to me? Don't think too much about it. By the way, I think Lexington and the others should be back by now."

"Admiral, are you too tired?" Bismarck looked at Li Ran's profile. She walked gently to his side, bit her lip, and said firmly:

"I will definitely protect the admiral."

"You, don't be so depressed. This is not like you. I know you definitely don't like these jobs, but it's okay. I can still handle these small things. It's them who are away on the expedition now. I'm worried."

A breeze blew through the woods, and a few fallen leaves slowly fell to the feet of Li Ran and Bismarck. In the distance, a seagull flew across the sky and flew towards the direction of Island C.

Li Ran watched the seagull fly away, and then saw Lexington and others coming back. He smiled at Bismarck and said:

"I guessed it right. They are back."

Chapter 107: A lot of things

"How's it going? You seem to be in a good mood."

Lei Ming looked at Li Ran and Bismarck standing together, looking very relaxed. He stepped forward and said:

"I guess those merchants have offered very tempting conditions."

"It's OK. By the way, I wonder how your visit went."

"It's so-so, but I really envy you. A whole tribe of fairies, this is something that no amount of money can buy. You are so lucky."

Li Ran was not surprised to hear Lei Ming say this. After all, they were both admirals and knew a little about fairies. He said modestly, and then said:

"Go in and talk."

"Okay, I'm a little thirsty too. By the way, do you have any mist fragrance wood here?"

"Why? Are you interested in this thing too?"

"My guess is that there is only one possibility for this old guy, Ganoluo, to come here from afar, and that is that something on your island has caught his attention."

"Oh, then how do you know it's Kirikame?"

"Because there is only one thing that this old guy is interested in, and that is the mist fragrance wood. Everyone in the world knows this, but many people regard living mist fragrance wood as a treasure, so no one would sell it to him."

"Sit down, Lexington, and help me boil a kettle of water." Li Ran and Lei Ming sat down, and he continued:

"By the way, where are your other ship girls?"

"Just now, several sea merchants wanted to go back and asked my ship girls to escort them. They all went out. By the way, were the people from Linglong Trading Company driven out by you? Why did you do this?"

"Do you know what the representative of the company said?" Li Ran shrugged, leaned back in his chair, and said in a displeased tone:

"That guy offered me one million ocean coins to buy my three-year port tariff exemption. Tsk, tsk, don't you think I was very polite when I didn't ask Bismarck to sink them with one shot?"

"Oh, so that's it. That means you can't talk. This has nothing to do with Linglong Trading Company. How about this? I also know the owner of this trading company. How about I go back and ask the owner to come and apologize to you in person. If your port doesn't allow Linglong Trading Company to dock, then I think it will be difficult for that guy to export porcelain to Nile Port in the future."

"Okay, brother, since you said so, I'll give you this face, but it won't happen again. You know, there are some things that can't be said casually, don't you think?"

"Yes, yes, yes. But you are so young. Even though you are an admiral, it is inevitable that some people will look down on you. In my opinion, you should make some big moves and then upgrade your current rank. Although this rank is useless, for ordinary people, the higher your rank, the more it proves your combat achievements in the deep sea. This is more useful than any propaganda method. Moreover, when your rank is high, you can also participate in many large-scale battle activities."

"Oh, I really didn't know about this. Thanks for reminding me, brother. Come, have some tea..."

……

While Li Ran and Lei Ming were drinking tea and chatting, on Island C, near an abandoned factory building in the woods.

This place has been completely transformed. A large area of ​​​​open space has been cleared, and some small houses built with logs are located around the abandoned factory buildings.

"Saratoga? Why are you daydreaming again?"

Helena's voice woke Gaga from her trance. She looked up and looked around blankly. She saw a seagull flying by and then landing on the abandoned factory building. She said weakly:

"It's so boring. Why hasn't my sister come back yet? I really want to eat the food cooked by the admiral."

"Don't complain. If you don't want the aluminum to be eaten up by the greedy bunny of the Raider, you should go and have a look."

"Raider, she's eating again," Saratoga said, and took out an aluminum bar like a magician, then bit it and said incoherently:

"Damn it, how can you eat more than me?"

Helena was a little helpless. She felt that compared with Saratoga, the Raiders' actions were not considered cheating at all.

However, she was relieved to see Gaga full of energy again. She left the abandoned factory and came to the shore. She saw Richelieu fishing, but she did not disturb him.

Helena slowly walked to the sovereignty monument carved on granite, on which was written the island to which Xiguang Island belongs and the sovereign is Li Ran.

She reached out and touched the stone tablet, touching Li Ran's name, and she thought silently:

Admiral, I really want to share this joy with you as soon as possible. Do you know that this is the first island affiliated with our garrison, and it is also the first step towards our becoming stronger?

"Helena?" Richelieu came to Helena's side without knowing when. Seeing that Helena was lost in thought, she stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes:

"What's wrong? Do you miss the admiral?"

"Yes, I miss it very much. After we conquered this island, this admiral didn't get a name, so I can't help feeling a little disappointed."

"The port area is still too short-handed. Do you want to work harder and help the admiral rescue your sister Brooklyn?"

"My sister?" Helena sighed.

"Forget it. She's smart. I'm sure she can be an attacker."

"That cute and greedy rabbit?" Richelieu also laughed, but her expression soon became serious:

"But then again, I'm afraid our fleet will be really short of manpower for the remaining two islands, A and B."

"Didn't the Admiral say that our focus is to ensure that we take over Island C? As for the other two islands, we will focus on annihilating the deep-sea forces. Didn't Lexington say last night that what we need to do now is to manage Island C first, use it as a stepping stone, and then slowly take over Islands A and B."

"Well, it looks like we need to ask the Admiral to recruit more sisters."

"Richelieu?"

"how?"

"You really are like the admiral's good wife."

"Me? Forget it. I think you are more like me. Tsk, tsk, tsk, spending the sunset with the admiral and lying in the admiral's arms. This is not a treatment that everyone can have."

Helena's cheeks suddenly burned hot and she was too embarrassed to speak.

Richelieu looked at Helena's defeat, she smiled, then said seriously:

"All kidding aside, how's the survey work going around the island lately?"

"We have almost finished the survey. This island is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There is only one intersection around the island, the V-shaped channel. It is impossible to land on the island from other places. There are many tropical fruits and aluminum mines on the island. However, the Azure Fairies are currently limited by mining equipment and cannot produce on a large scale. Of course, the most important point is that this island has nothing but aluminum mines. I am afraid it can only be regarded as a resource island."

"Let's record all of this first. We'll go back and report to the admiral and see what he thinks."

"Well, that's all we can do for now."
