The Spring Festival is coming to an end soon, and the weather is gradually getting warmer.

"Admiral, this is the information you want." On the first day after the Spring Festival, Lexington handed over a document.

"Is it seaworthy?"

After reading through the information handed over by his wife, Li Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

"I asked the Governor's Mansion. Some areas in the north have begun to thaw. The first batch of transport fleets in the Governor's Mansion has set off today." Lexington told the intelligence he had collected.

Touching his chin, Li Ran nodded and said, "In that case, I can set off."

"Actually, my opinion is to wait until summer." After stroking her hair, the wife expressed her opinion.

Waving his hand, Li Ran said in a deep voice: "I know you do it for my own good, but the Soviet matter has been delayed for too long."

"Okay~!"

He sighed helplessly, Lexington was no longer trying to persuade him.

As early as last year, the governor's office had learned about the Soviet Union, but it was already winter and going north was not a wise choice, so Li Ran did not set out to look for the Soviet Union immediately until spring came.

"Admiral, let me accompany you this time." Lexington lowered his head and thought for a while, then said with some relief.

This trip north is a long one, and my wife is really worried about the other shipmates.

The powerful ones, such as the Prince of Wales and the others, are quite sure to deal with the possible deep sea. However, taking care of people is not what they are good at, and Yixian, who is good at taking care of people, is not strong enough to deal with the possible deep sea. After much thought, Lexington decided this

This time, I accompanied the admiral northward.

"Can the garrison stay away from you?"

Hearing that his wife was going north with him, Li Ran cast a surprised look.

"Admiral, there are many outstanding companions in the garrison." Lexington smiled after hearing Li Ran's words and said, "They are no worse than me as secretaries, and I can't always occupy the position of secretary."

"Well, that's okay too!"

Nodding, Li Ran thought for a while and added: "I think you can bring secretary Li with you. She has never been able to find opportunities for growth. Maybe she can find it this time."

"Then bring Yan Bage with you, just in case there is a deep-sea submarine on the way." Crossing his fingers, Lexington began to take stock: "There is also Changchun, if you cooperate with me, you can better keep the danger away thousands of miles away."

"There are also Double Eagles. They have been to the north and are familiar with them."

Li Ran and Lexington talked to each other and quickly decided on the ship girl to take with them on this trip.

"Okay, that's it for the personnel." After confirming the personnel, Lexington knocked on his forehead as if remembering something: "By the way, the plan to go north will be postponed for a few days, and Indiana will come to our garrison in a few days."

"Why did she come to me if she wasn't waiting in the Governor's Mansion?" Hearing this, Li Ran raised his head in surprise.

Shrugging his shoulders, Lexington smiled and said: "I don't know, but I said I was giving you a New Year gift."

"Gift?!"

Touching his chin, which felt a little prickly, Li Ran was confused.

…

A few days later, Indiana arrived as promised.

"Hey, this is your garrison, it looks pretty good!" Indiana looked very polite as he walked out of the boat carelessly.

Grinning slightly, Li Ran blurted out: "If you think it's good, then join my garrison."

"You have a pretty good idea!" After glaring at Li Ran, Indiana said angrily: "I came here to bring you a gift, but you actually want to take advantage of me?"

"Gift?!"

Deliberately acting surprised, Li Ran stood on tiptoes and looked behind Indiana and said, "Isn't the gift yours?"

"You~!"

With a cold expression on his pretty face, Indiana seemed a little angry.

As a senior official in the Governor's Mansion, this was the first time Indiana heard an admiral make a joke about himself.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I speak without restraint, so don't worry about it."

Noticing Indiana's expression, Li Ran reacted and hurriedly patted his mouth to apologize.

"Interesting, you are quite interesting." The corner of Indiana's mouth curled up, showing a faint smile. It was obvious that she was not really angry.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After saying that, Indiana turned around and clapped his hands.

"One two one, one two one!"

Several familiar little guys walked off the boat in a neat queue.

"Z1?! Why is it you?"

Rubbing his eyes, Li Ran screamed in surprise.

"Brother Li Ran, please take good care of me in the future!" Z1 blinked his eyes, led the sisters and bowed to Li Ran, saying in a sweet voice.

"Sukhbaatar was still talking about you a few days ago!"

Smiling and nodding to the little Z-drivers, Li Ran hurriedly welcomed everyone into the guard house.

…

"Are you saying that the Z-driver will be an intern in my townhouse for a period of time?" Li Ran asked uncertainly after looking at the Z-driver team sitting obediently on the sofa.

Putting down the water glass, Indiana nodded and replied: "Of course, this is the tradition of the Governor's Mansion. After all, only with the admiral ship girls can they exert their full strength. It would be a good thing if you can pick them up."

"Is that so?!"

After taking a look at the little Z-drivers, Li Ran nodded with satisfaction. The arrangement of the Governor's Mansion was quite to his liking.

Boom~!

Just when Li Ran was about to say something, the door to the office was suddenly kicked open.

"Z1, Z16, Z17..., why are you here?"

Sukhbaatar ran into the office like Odin.

Seeing their good friends they hadn't seen for a long time, the Z-drive kids showed excited expressions. However, after taking a look at Indiana, the kids suppressed their inner joy and just nodded to say hello.

"Oh, there's nothing fun here. I'll take you to the pier to play, and help me teach the big mackerel a lesson. She cut off my fishing line again." He held Z1's hand without any explanation, and Sukhbaatar said

I want to drag the other person out of the door.

"But~!"

A hint of emotion flashed in his eyes, and Z1 quickly glanced at Indiana.

"I am not your guardian now, he is."

Catching the eyes of the little guys, Indiana pointed at Li Ran and said.

Huh~!

The little Z-drivers all turned their attention to Li Ran.

"Go, go, let Sukhbaatar and Odin take you to familiarize yourself with the tutelage." Li Ran smiled and waved, and replied softly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The little Z-drivers quickly followed Sukhbaatar and Odin and ran out of the office.

"Admiral, I heard that my sister is here."

Just as he was about to discuss some serious matters with Indiana, South Dakota broke into the office again.

"Who is this?!"

With a thought, Indiana stood up, looked at the girl in front of him who had the same skin color as himself and asked.

"South Dakota-class ship South Dakota~!"
