Chapter 618: Winning Over

Facts have proved that his idea is completely correct.

After realizing Lin Lan's identity, Luo Yuande dared not neglect Lin Lan's request at all, and immediately followed his instructions respectfully.

Although he had never seen the appearance of the Tianou Submariner, he had no doubts about the identities of Lin Lan and the three beautiful women.

Who among the Tianou Group employees in Liaozhou didn't know that the Tianou Submariner possessed extremely powerful power? The scene just now had made him completely believe in Lin Lan's identity.

But whether it was Luo Yuande or the crew members who obeyed the order and took the adventurers off the deck, their minds were now firmly occupied by a series of urgent questions.

That is, how did the Tianou Submariner cross the Siren blockade and come to Liaozhou from Oran.

What is the situation in Oran now?

Can they... finally go home?

Lin Lan certainly knew these questions in the minds of the Oran crew members in front of him.

In fact, he did plan to let the White Eagle Fleet and the Sakura Fleet work together to completely destroy the Siren's mirror sea defense line and reopen the route between the Oran United States and the Nine Islands of Liaozhou.

But after the trip to the Siren Fortress that Purification personally took them to visit, he was a little hesitant.

Because he saw the demon king army monsters captured by the experimental agency in the Siren Fortress, and the demon king army monsters were flowing with substances contaminated by the mysterious enemy X.

Needless to say, the reason why the Siren isolated the Orlan United States and the Liaozhou Nine Islands was definitely to isolate the pollution of X from spreading in this world.

When thinking about the fact that Helena meta is now also likely to be in the Liaozhou Nine Islands, Lin Lan is more certain that there must be some very dangerous secrets hidden in this island country.

So he has discussed with the Sakura Empire ship girls that they will not forcefully destroy the Siren defense line before thoroughly figuring out how the mysterious enemy X pollution on the demon king army was born and successfully solving it.

If the demon king army monsters around Liaozhou really get to Orlan, it will be a big problem.

Orlan is not like Liaozhou, where there are so many people who can control elements.

Soon, there were no more crew members on the deck of the freighter, only Lin Lan, Da Feng, Noshiro Sakuni, and the captain Luo Yuande who stayed behind.

"Master Submariner, the staff on the deck have all entered the cabin."

Luo Yuande said cautiously to Lin Lan, and Lin Lan also knew that it was time to start collecting information about the current situation of Liaozhou Jiudao.

But before that, he answered the question that Luo Yuande had never asked but had always been thinking about:

"First of all, I want to tell you that the Oran United States is still there, but there are no five major consortiums in Oran now. The only one left is our Tianou Group."

Hearing him say this sentence with a very calm tone, Luo Yuande raised his head in shock.

The middle-aged man, who was over fifty years old and had white temples, opened his mouth wide at this time, and even felt that his brain was empty.

In the years in Liaozhou Jiudao, he had already seen that Tianou Group had such an exaggerated armed force in Liaozhou Jiudao, and it was definitely a big plan.

Before he was invited to join the Tianou Group, he only knew that it was a long-established commercial consortium in the Western Continent and wanted to get a stable job.

But as he set off with the supply fleet, he soon discovered something was wrong.

In the Tianou Group's supply fleet, from captains like him to those hard-working sailors, almost all of them were retired veterans.

And when he first arrived in Liaozhou and saw the Tianou Group's military bases, assembly line military factories, and mecha corps equipped with advanced weapons on the main islands, he couldn't even believe his eyes.

It's not that he hadn't seen the mecha torrent of Tomahawk Military Industry, and he also knew that the big boss of Tomahawk Military Industry was ambitious.

This is why he didn't choose to work for Tomahawk Military Industry, but joined the Tianou Group in order to seek stability.

But Luo Yuande was horrified to find out that these Tianou Group troops on the nine islands of Liaozhou had completely crushed Tomahawk Military Industry in terms of both troop size and personnel quality!

Even the Tianou Group has its own shipyard in the Liaozhou Nine Islands, and has obtained a lot of mysterious ancient Liaozhou technologies from underground ruins, as well as a large fleet that he has never seen in the news, which is not inferior to the Navy Department!

How can this be the armed force that an ordinary large-scale trading consortium can have?

This is clearly a well-equipped, well-trained wolf-tiger division that is accumulating armaments and resources in the Liaozhou Nine Islands, ready to pounce on Oran and start a war at any time!

The Tianou Group is actually planning to steal the country!

And Lin Lan's understated words at this moment made Luo Yuande's hair on his back almost stand upside down.

"Master Undercover... I dare to ask, the political situation in Oran..."

"When the Sirens are solved in the future and you return to the motherland, you will know. In short, although Oran has suffered trauma, it has basically gotten rid of the threat of the Sirens and the country is peaceful and the people are safe."

Lin Lan just answered in a flat tone. He did not intend to tell the captain in front of him everything that happened in Oran in the past ten years.

This was not to save time, but if he talked about it in detail, the content was too much.

It was impossible for him to finish talking about things like the Candle Sea Business Association, the destruction of the Tomahawk Military Industry, and the Magic Cube Technology in a few words.

And if any link was missing, it might cause more questions to arise in the mind of the captain in front of him.

So instead of asking him to explain in detail, it would be better to wait until he and the Sakura Empire shipgirls have solved the threat of the mysterious enemy and restored the route between the two countries, and then let these Oran people return to Oran to witness it.

Hearing him say this, Luo Yuande's face froze at first.

Because he had heard that the Tianou Group might have realized the plan to steal the country, and now Oran is under the control of the Tianou Group.

But this is not the problem he cares about. He asked anxiously and tremblingly:

"Then, then, sir, may I ask if Yunhai City has suffered serious damage after the appearance of the Siren?"

"As the headquarters of the Tianou Group, Yunhai City has always been the least damaged city in the Western Continent, perhaps the only one."

Lin Lan did not blame the middle-aged man in front of him for his rude question, because he could guess that the other party's family should be in Yunhai City.

So he answered patiently.

And he did not lie. In his impression, except for the massive invasion of the Siren and Leviathan, the waves and the Siren's artillery destroyed some buildings on the coast, Yunhai City has never been seriously damaged.

After that, Lin Lan took out his cell phone from his pocket and casually flipped through a few photos of Yunhai City that he had stored online.

After Luo Yuande took the phone, he saw that although it was a little unfamiliar, it was more familiar with the aerial photos of the city, and finally showed a relieved smile on his face.

After holding the phone in both hands and returning it to Lin Lan, the captain immediately knelt on the ground and shouted to Lin Lan sincerely:

"Luo Yuande thanks the Lord of the Undercover for his doubts. I, I am willing to follow the Lord of the Undercover Tianou to death in this life!"

Lin Lan helped Luo Yuande up, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

He understood that from now on, the captain would no longer hide anything from his questions.

He could ask the captain about the situation of the Nine Islands of Liaozhou in the past ten years.

In the next few minutes, Lin Lan first asked about the current situation of Tianou Group in Liaozhou.

After a series of questions he had just answered, Luo Yuande could now tell him everything he knew and carefully explained the current situation of Tianou Group.

After the Sirens appeared and blocked the route back to Oran, the Tianou Group of Liaozhou Jiudao organized three large-scale fleet attacks in one year, intending to break through the blockade.

However, in the face of the absolute power of the Sirens, these three attacks not only did not gain anything, but also almost wiped out the fleet accumulated by the Tianou Group over decades, and many employees were killed and injured.

Lin Lan was not at all surprised by this result.

Warships without the blessing of the magic cube technology, no matter how many there are, can never be the opponent of the ship girl or the Sirens.

After that, Lu Feng, the director of the Liaozhou branch of the Tianou Group, immediately changed his strategy in the second year after the third disastrous defeat and began to bide his time in the four islands under his control.

Although it is said to bide his time, according to Luo Yuande's description, the Tianou Group has changed its previous style in the past ten years.

In order to obtain and accumulate enough resources for returning home, the general agents of the four islands of the Tianou Group did everything they could, and the reputation of the Tianou Group was getting worse and worse in Liaozhou Jiudao.

Just last year, the Tianou Group almost went to direct war with the real ruler of Liaozhou, the Nine Islands Alliance, which was controlled by the Nine Islands' co-lord Hui An Dasi.
