Chapter 398 Surprise
Shirley walked to Xiao Ran with a smile, held a wine glass with one hand and handed it to Xiao Ran: "For you, today is a very celebratory day."
Xiao Ran took the wine glass from Shirley Lu's hand, but he had always liked drinking tea but didn't like drinking, and he just took a sip, and then asked in confusion: "What's the matter today that's worth celebrating with red wine."
"It's not that I'm very happy, but someone just happened to send these wines, so let's celebrate it." Shirley's mouth looked a bit casually and said indifferently.
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, turned to look at the others: "There are people who have come here to bring wine, what's going on?"
But everyone present just smiled at Xiao Ran, but no one answered his doubts. Xiao Ran didn't believe that these people were celebrating because they captured a fleet in the universe today. There was nothing good for them to celebrate, so Xiao Ran was a little puzzled.
Seeing Xiao Ran’s inexplicable look, Shirley smiled proudly and said, “I sold all my assets today and spent all my savings.”
Xiao Ran asked strangely: "What about?"
"Hold the helping ship." Shirley Lu raised her head slightly, turned around gracefully, picked up the phone on it from the coffee table and handed it to Xiao Ran, and smiled at Xiao Ran: "And this is also the gift I gave you."
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, took Shirley Lu's fish-shaped phone, and naturally knew that the gift that Shirley Lu mentioned would not be used as a toy, mascot, microphone, or whip, and then it was naturally the contents of the phone. Xiao Ran gently pinched the fish-shaped phone and instantly popped up a holographic projection above the fish head. After Xiao Ran saw the things on the holographic projection clearly, he looked up at Shirley Lu in shock.
"Did you buy two warships?"
"Haha." Shirley nodded with a smile: "Two macross quarter-class warships, I think one may not be enough. Anyway, the more the better, so I replaced all the remaining property after hiring for this. Don't thank me, anyway, those property is meaningless to me."
Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled. He was still a little moved. He gently pointed his hand on Shirley's forehead: "Silly girl, thank you."
"Hmph, you're stupid." Shirley snorted softly, holding her hands and tilting her head. However, her eyes also revealed an unhidden smile: "We celebrate not only because I bought these two warships. Seeing your current touching look, I won't let you guess, Moses, tell him for me."
"Okay, Miss Shirley." Moses smiled slightly and said to Xiao Ran: "General, President Glass has issued the latest instructions to the entire fleet today. He will announce his resignation next week and let you take over as the next president."
When Xiao Ran heard Moses' words, he was really surprised: "I? Take over as the President?"
"Yes." Moses nodded and said excitedly: "Now this news has been announced to the citizens of the ship, and has been unanimously supported by the citizens of the ship, the military and the government. The approval rating is 100%, so there should be no accident."
"What a joke." Xiao Ran did not seem to everyone as happy as he should have shown, but frowned and said, "Why don't the president discuss this kind of thing with me first."
Xiao Ran's reaction surprised Moses and Billy, and Moses said in confusion: "General. Why do you look very unhappy? It is a blessing for everyone to become the president. We all believe that only you can lead the ship to continue to develop."
"Oh." Xiao Ran sighed and waved his hand helplessly: "You don't understand."
"Xiao Ran." Shirley Lu grabbed Xiao Ran's hand and looked at Xiao Ran with a serious look, saying, "I think why don't you try it? The situation facing the fleet now is that someone needs to stand up and give them courage and strength, and wait until everything is settled. Even if we want to leave, you can find other suitable people to take over your position."
Kruze, who had not spoken, drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, turned his head and looked at Xiao Ran lightly: "Are you afraid of failure?"
"No. I never thought I would fail." Xiao Ran shook his head and frowned and said, "But I never thought about sitting in that position here."
"Once you become the president, you can effectively use all your resources to fight the Earth's regime and military forces, so that everything will act according to your ideas without any restraint. Isn't this a good thing?" Kruze said lightly: "If it were me, I would just accept it happily. The more power and resources you can use, the easier the process of achieving your goals will be."
In fact, even Xiao Ran didn't know what he was thinking. In fact, there seemed to be no big difference between becoming the president of the fleet and now commanding all military affairs. His current position was only used to win in battle, and the president had to deal with the entire fleet's affairs, supplying the army and other complicated things. But in fact, as a general, he also had to deal with the military affairs. In fact, the difference was not big.
But when I thought that I would become the president of this ship, although I was a little happy, I was still a little disgusted, and I felt that I didn’t want to sit in that position at all. After all, he was a participant who would leave this world as long as the task was completed. After he left, he had to change people. Sitting in that position was simply a trouble for him.
"Oh." Xiao Ran smiled bitterly, waved his hand gently, and said, "I don't know why I don't want to be the president, but it's really too troublesome for me, and I have to explain too much in the end. But Shirley Lu, Cruze, you are right. You shouldn't think about what's there or not at this time. Since I can improve the confidence and morale of the fleet, and integrate all resources to deal with the crisis that is about to come, there is indeed no need to refuse."
"I might guess that you are worried about something happening after becoming the president." Kruze stood up and filled his glass with wine again, and then said: "But even I know that if there are any changes and efforts, you will definitely gain. Don't you expect it?"
"Should you expect it?" Xiao Ran smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid the accident will come too suddenly and I can't accept it."
Kruze raised the corners of his mouth: "How can I know if I don't try it? I believe that even if something really goes wrong, we won't blame you. And it's quite interesting, isn't it?"
Moses and Billy did not fully understand what Xiao Ran and Cruze were saying. They just thought Xiao Ran was worried that he would not be able to do what the president should do, but they felt that Xiao Ran was a little worried. After contacting Xiao Ran for a long time, both of them had a lot of understanding of Xiao Ran's abilities. And even if Xiao Ran was too busy, weren't the people in the municipal building for this reason?
But in fact, what Kruze and Xiao Ran were talking about was a task. Xiao Ran was also worried that after taking the position of president, it would trigger extremely difficult tasks. The current tasks were already quite difficult. If there was an additional task of higher difficulty, it would only make the current situation worse. However, if the task could be completed, the rewards received would probably be extremely abundant.
Xiao Ran also knew that after announcing to the fleet, the president resigned and he ascended the position of president was unchanged. Instead of sighing, it was better to face it calmly. Xiao Ran also had this confidence. Even in difficult tasks, Xiao Ran also had the confidence to complete it.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for countless people. Earth system and soldiers cannot sleep well. Although the senior officers sleep on the comfortable bed of the luxury hotel in the courier, they are confused about their future. The soldiers are surrounded by countless bugs, and all the combat ship operating systems are locked down, and they are still guarded by the people of the defensive army of the regiment, and they are afraid.
Xiao Ran couldn't sleep either. He kept thinking about how to complete this mission. Xiao Ran didn't even think about it. Once there was a problem with the earth, it would be a provocation of all human beings in the entire universe. Such things would only push themselves into a place that would never be restored and could not be done at all.
Mary and Shirley slept on the same bed, and the two of them did not fall asleep, but instead spoke softly in the room.
Graham leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes while Naro entered the last room with bed and kept his energy replenishment. Moses and Billy had also left, but they would take the suite on the other side of Xiao Ran's suite as an excessive thing this week.
Kruze was very curious about this world. He spent the whole night on the Internet and wanted to absorb information about this matter, while savoring red wine with good taste.
And in the orchid who knew nothing was locked in the room by Brera and Arte, the two men sat in front of the room and were silent.
Captain Jeffrey was calculating how much money Shirley could give them, how much he could leave, and how much he needed to transfer money to the headquarters to hire more, and had to contact the manufacturing factory to see if there was any macross-grade inventory.
Ozma drove his car and the sissy helmman Bobby away, preparing to go to his home to clean up the things he needed to use and change clothes for Orchid during this period, but a howling black shadow fell from the sky, almost causing Ozma's car to fly to the side of the road. (To be continued.)
