Sherry Dew walked up to Xiao Ran with a smile on her face. She lifted a wine glass with one hand and handed it to Xiao Ran. "Here, today is a day worth celebrating."
Xiao Ran took the wine glass in Sherry Dew's hand, but as a person who likes to drink tea but not wine, he just took a sip. He asked in confusion, "What is it that's worth celebrating with red wine today?"
"It's not that we're very happy, but someone just happened to send us some wine, so we might as well celebrate." Sherry Dew's mouth curved into a beautiful smile as she said casually.
Xiao Ran was stunned. He turned his head and looked at the others. "Someone sent wine over? 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 with red wine because they captured a fleet in space today. That kind of thing was not worth celebrating at all, so Xiao Ran was a little puzzled.
Seeing Xiao Ran's puzzled look, Sherry Dew smiled proudly and said, "I sold all my assets today and spent all my savings."
Xiao Ran asked curiously, "And then?"
"I hired S.M.S. to help the fleet." Sherry Dew raised her head slightly, elegantly turned around, picked up the phone on the coffee table, and handed it to Xiao Ran. She smiled at Xiao Ran. "And this, it's my gift to you."
Xiao Ran was stunned again. He took Sherry Dew's fish-shaped phone. He naturally knew that the gift Sherry Dew was talking about was not something she treated as a toy, a mascot, a microphone, or a whip. It was naturally the contents of the phone. Xiao Ran gently squeezed the fish-shaped phone, and a holographic projection instantly popped up above the fish-shaped head. When Xiao Ran saw what was on the holographic projection, he looked up at Sherry Dew in shock.
"You bought two battleships?"
"Haha." Sherry Dew smiled and nodded. "Two MACROSS class ships.
QUARTER class warship, I think one may not be enough. Anyway, the more the better, so I used all my remaining assets after hiring S.M.S. to exchange for these. You don't have to thank me, anyway, those assets are meaningless to me. "
Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled. He was still a little touched. He gently tapped Sherry Dew's forehead with his hand. "Silly girl, thank you."
"Hmph, you're the silly one." Sherry Dew snorted softly, crossed her arms, and turned her head away. However, there was an unconcealable smile in her eyes. "We're not celebrating just because I bought these two battleships. Seeing how touched you are now, I won't keep you guessing. Moses, tell him for me."
"Okay, Miss Sherry Dew." Moses smiled faintly and said to Xiao Ran, "General, President Glass has issued the latest instructions to the fleet today. He will announce his resignation next week and let you take over as the next president."
Hearing Moses' words. Xiao Ran was really surprised. "Me? Take over as president? "
"Yes." Moses nodded and said excitedly, "Now, the news has been announced to the people of the ship group, and it has been unanimously supported by the people of the ship group, the military, and the government. The support rate is 100%, so there shouldn't be any accidents."
"Are you kidding me?" Xiao Ran didn't show the joy everyone thought he should show. Instead, he frowned and said. "Why didn't the president discuss this with me first?"
Xiao Ran's reaction surprised both Moses and Billy. Moses was even more puzzled as he asked: "General, what are you talking about? "General, why do you look so unhappy? You becoming the president is what everyone wants. We all believe that only you can lead this fleet to continue development."
"Sigh." Xiao Ran sighed and waved his hand helplessly. "You don't understand."
"Xiao Ran." Sherry Dew grabbed Xiao Ran's hand. He looked at Xiao Ran with a serious expression and said, "Why don't you give it a try? Now that the fleet is facing a situation, they need someone to stand up and bring them courage and strength. When the dust settles, they will have to wait until the dust settles. Even if we have to leave, you can find another suitable person to take over your position. "
Cruzet, who had been silent all this time, drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, turned his head and looked at Xiao Ran indifferently. "Are you afraid of failure?"
"No. I never thought that I would fail. " Xiao Ran shook his head and said with a frown. "But I never thought of sitting in that position here."
"Once you become the president, you can effectively use all the resources to fight against the Earth Unified Army and let everything act according to your ideas without any restrictions. Isn't this a good thing?" Cruzet said indifferently. "If it were me, I would gladly accept it. The more power and resources I can use, the easier it will be to achieve my goal."
In fact, even Xiao Ran didn't know what he was thinking. In fact, there wasn't much difference between being the president of the fleet and being in charge of all military affairs like he was now. The current position was only used to win battles. The president still had to deal with the affairs of the entire fleet, supply the army, and a series of other complicated things. But in fact, as a general, he also had to deal with the affairs of the army. In fact, the difference wasn't that big.
But when he thought that he would actually become the president of this fleet, although he was a little happy, he still felt some disgust in his heart. He had a feeling that he 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 mission was completed. After he left, there would be a replacement. Sitting in that position was simply troublesome for him.
"Sigh." Xiao Ran smiled bitterly, waved his hand gently, and said, "I don't know why I don't want to become the president, but it's really too troublesome for me. In the end, I'll have to explain too much. But Sherry Dew, Cruzet, you're right. At this time, I shouldn't be thinking about such nonsense. Since I can raise the confidence and morale of the fleet, and also unify all the resources to deal with the upcoming crisis, there's really no need to refuse."
"I might have guessed that you're worried that some unforeseen events will happen after you become the president." Cruzet stood up and refilled his wine glass before saying, "But even I know that if there are unforeseen events and sacrifices, there will definitely be gains. Don't you look forward to it?"
"Should I?" Xiao Ran smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just afraid that the unforeseen events will come too suddenly and I won't be able to accept it."
Cruzet's lips curled up. "How would you know if you don't try? I believe that even if something really happens, we won't blame you. And this is also quite interesting, isn't it? "
Xiao Ran and Billy didn't completely understand what Xiao Ran and Cruzet were talking about. They simply thought that Xiao Ran was worried that he wouldn't be able to do what the president should do. But they felt that Xiao Ran was overthinking. After interacting with Xiao Ran for a long time, the two of them had a good understanding of Xiao Ran's abilities. And even if Xiao Ran was too busy, those people in the municipal building were there for this reason.
But in fact, what Cruzet and Xiao Ran were talking about was the mission. Xiao Ran was also worried that after becoming the president, he would trigger an extremely difficult mission. The current mission was already quite difficult. If there was an even more difficult mission, it would only make the current situation worse. But if he could complete the mission, the reward would probably be extremely rich.
Xiao Ran also knew that after the announcement to the ship group, the resignation of the president and his ascension to the president's position could not be changed. Instead of sighing, it was better to face it calmly. And Xiao Ran also had this confidence. Even if the mission was difficult, he, Xiao Ran, had this confidence to complete it.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for countless people. The soldiers of the Earth Union could not sleep well. Although the senior officers slept in the comfortable beds of the luxurious hotels in the ship group, they were confused about their future. The soldiers were surrounded by countless insects, and all the warship operating systems were locked down. They were also guarded by the ship group's defense force. Their hearts were filled with fear.
Xiao Ran could not sleep either. His mind was constantly thinking about how to complete this mission. Xiao Ran did not even think about blowing up the Earth. If something happened to the Earth, it would be a provocation to all of humanity in the entire universe. This kind of thing would only push him into a place of no return. It was simply impossible.
Mary and Sherry Dew slept on the same bed. The two of them were not asleep either. Instead, they whispered softly in the room.
Graham leaned against the sofa and closed his eyes to take a nap. Nalor entered the last room with a bed and closed her eyes to rest. Moses and Billy had also left, but they put the matter of taking the suite on the other side of Xiao Ran's suite on the agenda for this week's transition.
Cruzet was very curious about this world. He spent the whole night immersing himself in the internet, absorbing information about this matter. At the same time, he tasted a delicious red wine.
In S.M.S, Orchid, who did not know anything, was locked in a room by Brera and Arte. The two men just sat in front of the door in silence.
Captain Jay Vry was calculating the money Sherry Dew gave them. How much could he keep? How much should he transfer to S.M.S headquarters to hire more S.M.S? He also had to contact the S.M.S manufacturing factory to see if there was any MANF-class inventory.
