Daily life with the ship girl

Li Ran felt that there were still many things he wanted to do, and his mind was in a mess. After all, this was an island, and he was at least a person with territory. It might sound a bit ruffian to say this, but forget it, but this is his home, right?

Just as he was daydreaming, he finally heard the construction device prompt that the construction was complete. Li Ran, feeling uneasy, stared at the door, waiting for the white steam to dissipate.

"I am Bismarck, the crystallization of German technology. Please remember me." A handsome woman in a black military uniform came out. She had beautiful short brown hair, a pair of cat ears that moved vigilantly, beautiful blue eyes, and over-the-knee boots. She exuded the unique temperament of a German soldier. She spoke in a very pleasant voice, staring at Li Ran with a sharp gaze:

"You must be the Admiral."

Li Ran felt a little stressed. Even without deploying his ship suit, Bismarck still exuded the unique sharpness of a soldier, as well as the rigor of a German soldier. He spoke meticulously. He quickly straightened his tone and said a little stiffly:

"Welcome to my port, Bismarck, my name is Li Ran."

"Admiral, don't be so reserved." Bismarck looked at Li Ran, who seemed a little restrained. She said this, then saw the resources scattered around and frowned.

"The admiral has very few resources?"

Li Ran looked a little embarrassed, but he was also a soldier, so he wasn't afraid. It was just that Bismarck gave people the feeling of having a strong aura and that it was difficult to get along with her. However, he knew that this was because he and she had just met, and that the situation would surely improve after getting along for a long time. He said apologetically:

"Because the port area has just been established, many infrastructures are not complete. In addition to the garrison and construction equipment, even the warehouse is dilapidated. I can only ask Lexington and Firefly to help transfer resources here. It may be a bit messy, but it will get better in the future."

Bismarck nodded, she thought for a moment, and then asked:

"The Admiral already has an aircraft carrier?"

"Yes, Lexington just arrived at the port area yesterday."

"So are there any threats near the Admiral's port area?"

Li Ran couldn't help but feel ashamed, he was indeed a soldier, but he knew that it was Bismarck who was concerned about his situation. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Lexington coming with Pinghai and Firefly. He said to Bismarck:

"They are my ship girls. They arrived at the port a day earlier than you."

"Bismarck." Bismarck straightened her collar, walked up to Lexington and stretched out her hand:

"Nice to meet you."

"Lexington." Lexington felt that the companion in front of her was emitting a very fierce aura, but he was able to control it. She was happy for Li Ran and put on a gentle smile:

"From now on, we will fight side by side to defend the port area."

"Of course." Bismarck smiled. She turned to look at Ping Hai, who was full of curiosity, and asked:

"Hello, little sister."

Pinghai looked at Bismarck. She was not afraid. She was full of energy and said proudly:

"Hello, I am the light cruiser Pinghai, a warship independently developed by Country C. Nice to meet you!"

Bismarck looked at Ping Hai, who was full of energy. She liked him very much because she could feel the determination of this light cruiser. She turned to look at Firefly, her tone full of admiration:

"Are you the destroyer Firefly who rammed the heavy cruiser with her dreadnought headbutt? Nice to meet you!"

Firefly was very happy. She shouted to Li Ran:

"Admiral, Sister Bismarck also knows that Firefly is very powerful."

Li Ran came up, touched Firefly's head, and took Pinghai and Firefly's hands:

"Let's go back to the garrison. We're going to have a big fight!"

Bismarck and Lexington walked side by side behind Li Ran. The two women looked at each other and began to talk in low voices.

Back at the garrison, Bismarck and Lexington seemed to have finished their conversation. She watched Pinghai Firefly go out to play, walked over to Li Ran, and said meticulously:

"Admiral, I heard from Lexington that there are three deep-sea strongholds near the port area. If we don't destroy them, the port area's transportation routes will be seriously affected."

Li Ran listened to Bismarck's words, nodded and said:

"I've been thinking about this, but our top priority right now is to survey the terrain of the sea area near the island where the port is located. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle."

Bismarck felt the same way, and Lexington also felt it was necessary, so she volunteered:

"Leave the reconnaissance to my carrier-based aircraft boys, Commander."

"Then thank you for your help." Li Ran nodded. After all, he was not playing a game and had to consider many things carefully. Although he was investigating the sea area, he still gave Lexington a warning:

"Be careful. I'll notify Pinghai and Firefly and have them accompany you, in case you run into a deep sea and it's hard for you to be free."

"Okay." Lexington also knew that if she went out to sea, as an aircraft carrier, it would be somewhat dangerous to be approached, so she was not pretentious.

Seeing that Lexington agreed, Li Ran connected to the soul of the Firefly battleship in Pinghai through the admiral's personal network and said to the two little ones:

"Pinghai, Firefly, go wait for your sister Lexington near the Deepwater Harbor. She is going out to sea for reconnaissance. Her safety is in the hands of you two."

Firefly and Pinghai heard the admiral's telepathic message, and the two little ones responded with full energy, which made Li Ran both relieved and a little worried.

Lexington comforted him:

"Don't worry, these two kids are great. Don't worry, I'm just responsible for reconnaissance this time and won't go too far."

Li Ran looked at Lexington. He also knew that the ship girls were all very powerful. It was just that their beauty made people subconsciously ignore that they were unique with powerful firepower like battleships. He immediately entered the role of admiral and said seriously:

"Then I'll leave them to you. I allow you to use Lexington as your flagship, Firefly and Pinghai to form the First Fleet. As for Bismarck, don't attack for now. Assign combat missions now to scout the waters near the port area. If you encounter a large deep-sea fleet, retreat immediately. If you encounter a small deep-sea fleet, you are allowed to act on your own."

Lexington looked solemn. She saluted and walked out.

In the admiral's personal network, the voices of Firefly and Pinghai were chirping:

"Firefly, it's so cool what the Admiral said."

"Sister Ping Hai, the admiral is not handsome, she is a big pervert."

Li Ran: "..."

Bismarck: "..."

Lexington: "..."

Because the ship girl and the admiral can establish communication through the admiral's personal network within a radius of 100 miles, but it will be invalid beyond this range. This is what Li Ran figured out from Lexington's introduction, but the two little ones' words made him feel a little embarrassed, and he pretended to be angry and said:

"You two, be serious and protect your sister Lexington, okay?"

"I know." Firefly said cheerfully, and Pinghai regained his energy and said sensibly:

"Don't worry, Admiral. Pinghai will definitely be the best frigate when my sister is away!"

……

The conversation was interrupted, Li Ran shook his head with a wry smile, and seeing Bismarck's smile, he looked a little embarrassed and coughed:

"Well, Bismarck, you look really good when you smile."

Bismarck looked at Li Ran, who said he was angry, but actually his brows revealed more worry, and he pondered:

Is the Admiral a very gentle person?

However, Bismarck quickly put this idea out of her mind and began to talk about some of the information she had learned from Lexington, and then she slowly told her plan.

Chapter 12: Unexpected Gains

Bismarck sorted out her words and analyzed them:

"Admiral, I learned from Lexington that there are three islands near the port area. For now, we will call them Island A, Island B, and Island C."

Li Ran felt that it was necessary to draw a rough draft. It happened that among the supplies brought by Lexington and the others, there were some paper and pens. He flipped through them, spread a poster-sized white paper on the ground, and handed Bismarck a marker:

"Mark the approximate location so it's clearer."

Bismarck nodded, took the marker, thought for a moment, and because she didn't know how big the island where the port was located was, she simply drew an outline, then marked the approximate locations of the three islands, stopped writing, and pointed to Island C and said:

"This is the closest island to the port area, only about 500 nautical miles away from us. According to Lexington's preliminary investigation, there is an open-pit aluminum mine on the island. However, the number of deep-sea fleets entrenched on Island C is not yet clear. In my opinion, this island should be the first threat to be eliminated in our combat plan. If we can capture this island, then we can use Lexington as the core of the operation and rely on this island as a stepping stone to keep the danger of the deep-sea fleet 300 nautical miles away."

Li Ran listened to Bismarck's analysis, he pondered for a moment, and said with some concern:

"However, the distances between these three islands are not too far from each other. If we attack one island, we might alert the enemies on other islands."

Bismarck was also a little distressed. Although Lexington had conducted reconnaissance, she herself said that when she came here, she was afraid that something might happen to the fishing boat, so she released the carrier-based aircraft and accidentally discovered the existence of the three islands. Although she found that there were deep-sea fleets around the three islands, the specific number and the location of the deep-sea ports were unclear. She knew that Li Ran's worries were not unreasonable, so she pondered and said:

"That's right. We have too little intelligence at the moment. We can only wait for Lexington and the others to come back with their investigation before making the next plan."

Li Ran stood up. It was very uncomfortable to squat without a chair. He thought about it and decided that he couldn't just sit there idle, so he said to Bismarck:

"Bismarck, they are out at sea for reconnaissance, so we can't just sit there and do nothing. Come with me to explore how big this island is, and by the way, look for any minerals. To be honest, I'm still very unfamiliar with this island."

Bismarck also stood up, her cat ears moved cutely, and she nodded:

"That's fine. I'll just record the topography of the island to prepare for the future construction of the port area."

Li Ran was somewhat speechless. He said:

"Bismarck, you think the same as I do. Without further ado, we should start from the eastern part of the garrison."

Bismarck agreed and packed up his paper and pen. The German cat, who was a rigorous cat, would always move his ears when he was working seriously, which made Li Ran feel a strange sense of cuteness.

The two of them closed the door of the tutelary fort and walked towards the east.

Entering the woods on the east side, this is the opposite direction of where Li Ran and Firefly came into the island. The vegetation here is more lush than where they entered the island.

"Roar!" A brown bear appeared. Before Li Ran could react, Bismarck, as a ship girl, whose first priority was to protect the admiral, deployed her ship armor and fired a single shot, blasting the brown bear into a pulp.

Li Ran's eyelids twitched, and he felt his ears buzzing. He quickly covered his ears and said with a wry smile:

"I say Bismarck, next time you fire a cannon, say hello. My ears are almost deafened."

Bismarck looked apologetic and said:

"Admiral, I'll be more careful next time."

Li Ran waved his hand and sighed:

"It's okay, but I just feel sorry that you beat this big brown bear into a pulp with one shot, otherwise I could make bear meat stew, steamed bear paws, etc. for you tonight."

When Bismarck heard Li Ran's words, her cat ears moved, and her tone revealed a sense of surprise:

"Admiral, are you still cooking?"

Li Ran smiled confidently and said:

"Of course. I know how to cook Chinese, French, German, Italian, and Russian dishes. My family is a family of chefs..."

Bismarck listened to Li Ran's words. When she talked about the chef's family, her mood became depressed. She put away her ship uniform and asked with concern:

"Are you homesick, Admiral?"

Li Ran sighed:

"I want to, but I can't go back. Let's go."

Bismarck watched Li Ran walking ahead on his own. She looked at the admiral's back, her face became extremely firm, and she murmured to herself:

"Admiral, Bismarck promises that he will defend the port area to the death. I swear to help the admiral turn the port area into a second warm home."

Li Ran walked quite a distance before he came to his senses and realized that Bismarck had not caught up with him. He hurried back, saying:

"I'm sorry Bismarck, I didn't know you didn't keep up."

Bismarck shook his head and she smiled:

"It's okay, Admiral. Bismarck would like to try your cooking if there's a chance. Is that possible?"

Li Ran looked at Bismarck's smile, and he felt that his mood was suddenly healed. He patted his chest and promised:

"Not tomorrow, we can have it at noon. No, we can have it in the future."

Bismarck nodded and walked side by side with Li Ran again.

The two men passed through the wooded area on the eastern side of the island and encountered two brown bears on the way, but without exception, they were both dealt with by Bismarck with one punch.

Bismarck always kept in mind that Li Ran could cook. She did not use her ship suit, but relied on the unscientific power of the ship girl to smash the brown bear's head, leaving the rest of the brown bear intact.

Bismarck's idea was that these were all ingredients.

However, as it was getting closer to noon and the weather was getting hotter, Li Ran marked a conspicuous tree, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said:

"Let's explore here first. It's almost noon, and Lexington and the others should return to the port."

"Yeah." Bismarck looked indifferent. She seemed to have no feeling while holding the two brown bears, and she was not sweating. But Li Ran was sweating profusely.

"Let's go." Li Ran didn't say anything stupid like helping Bismarck carry the brown bear, because he tried and found that even the smaller brown bear weighed at least 500 kilograms, which was not something he could move at all.

However, seeing that Bismarck, who only had the slender figure of an adult woman, could carry a 500-kilogram brown bear on his left shoulder and a 700-kilogram brown bear in his right hand, the huge visual impact still made him feel unable to help but complain.

As expected, a beautiful life like KanColle is worthy of being awakened from a sunken battleship. Except for her appearance, which is the same as that of a human female, everything else...

Li Ran thought of some strange scenes, such as Bismarck punching through the armor of a large human warship with one punch, or Bismarck destroying an ordinary human navy alone. Just thinking about that scene made Li Ran feel his scalp tingling.

However, what was more important was the extremely strong sense of security. Li Ran also knew that he was overthinking. He shook his head, cleared the way in front of Bismarck, and prepared to return to the garrison.
