Chapter 66: The Club
Soon after Stilwell left, Anne appeared in front of Zhang Chi with a medicine tray and handed over a tube of medicine, saying, "You know what? I'm so worried that old man will take you all night! ”
Zhang Chi, who had just poured the medicine into his mouth, almost squirted the medicine out when he heard the words.
"Maybe you should treat me to a drink!" Anne said, "Then explain why you speak English!" ”
"No problem!" Faced with such an invitation from Anne, Zhang Chi certainly couldn't refuse.
The club is diagonally opposite the field hospital, and it is normal for the officers and soldiers who are about to be discharged to have a drink here and enjoy themselves before they go to the battlefield, but when Zhang Chi and Anne walked into the club together, they immediately felt that many unfriendly eyes were thrown at them around them.
Zhang Chi soon knew the reason:
There were almost no Chinese soldiers in the club.
What's more important is that Zhang Chi has an Annie by his side...... You must know that this is a battlefield, and the most people on the battlefield are men, and the most lacking are women, especially these men are all American GIs who are under the pressure of death.
It is precisely because of this that vicious incidents against women on this front line should be said to be common, not long ago there was an incident in which an American nurse was tied to the jungle by several black GIs, of course, those black GIs were quickly sent to a military court.
At this time, a Chinese like Zhang Chi can have a beautiful and generous American nurse to accompany him, which will naturally make many Yankees jealous and hateful.
Of course, Zhang Chi didn't care about those eyes, he found a place for Anne and himself, and then ordered two beers.
It is said that Zhang Chi has not drunk beer since he came to this plane, so he raised his glass a little greedily, and then soon found that he needed another glass.
This surprised Anne, and she said suspiciously, "I thought you weren't used to the taste of beer, but I was obviously wrong again!" ”
"No, I like beer!" Zhang Chi replied.
Of course, Zhang Chi likes modern beer. Although the beer in front of you is also good, its taste is still far from that of modern times.
This is not to say that the Yankees can't make beer, but the United States has a period of "Prohibition" that lasted for more than ten years, when the production, transportation and sale of all alcoholic ingredients were illegal, and now although seven or eight years have passed since the "Prohibition" era, there are still many places in the United States that are prohibiting alcohol, and the Prohibition movement is also very active, so it has seriously affected the development of the American alcohol industry.
"For my English ......" Zhang Chi raised his glass to Anne and said, "I'm sorry, I swear I wanted to forget about it!" ”
This made Anne laugh: "I should say, I'm glad you know English." Because I don't need much crap right now. Is that right? ”
"Perhaps, I can pretend I don't know English!" Zhang Chi replied: "Because I am willing to listen to that nonsense!" ”
"No, no......" Anne shook her head and laughed, "It's time for you to talk nonsense, or, you can tell me about your performance on the battlefield." ”
"Hey, dude......" An American GI next to him yelled, "You should know this isn't the place for you, you should go back to the battlefield!" ”
This was obviously said to Zhang Chi.
Under normal circumstances, Americans would not be so rude to the Chinese, after all, the Americans also know that the Chinese are their comrades-in-arms who fight side by side, but now it is different. The American GI obviously did not want the already scarce American nurse to talk and laugh with the Chinese.
"Really?" Zhang Chi replied quietly: "I don't know that this is your place, I only know that this land was shot down by the Chinese, and you just parachuted down and waited for the Chinese to come to the rescue!" ”
Zhang Chi was talking about the performance of the Galahad forces in this battle.
These words obviously angered the American GIs at that table, or it could be said that Zhang Chi's words stabbed them in the sore spot. So the American GIs lifted the table and surrounded it......
When they approached and were about to say something, they grabbed a US military captain led by him and pressed him on the table, quickly grabbed a beer bottle with his left hand and knocked it on the edge of the table, and then pointed the sharp glass mouth at the US captain's neck. Leng Leng said: "Maybe you can tell your subordinates that your throat will be cut before they have time to make a move!" ”
"Hey. Man! Don't mess around! The American captain raised his hand: "It's just a joke, OK?" We are allies! ”
Several other U.S. troops couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this, but they were unwilling to stop there, because they didn't believe that Zhang Chi really dared to do it, and secondly, they didn't want to lose the face of the Galahad special forces, so they still surrounded them and refused to stop.
When the two sides were at a stalemate, a person came out of the dark corner and said slowly: "Maybe you should respect our Chinese friends!" ”
"Colonel!"
"Colonel!"
……
As soon as they saw the American officer walking over, several American GIs wilted.
The American colonel took a casual sip of his wine glass and said, "He is right, we just parachuted down in this battle to wait for rescue, and now we are asking our savior to leave...... Is this what a robber is called? That's so cool, looter! ”
Zhang Chi knew that the situation was under control at this time, so he let go of the American captain as soon as he let go of his hand.
"Get out!" The colonel gave an order to the American GIs, and the GIs fled and left.
Then the colonel took a glass of beer and handed it to Zhang Chi, saying, "I know you, soldier!" Among those who helped us out of the ferry was you, if I'm not mistaken, a sniper. ”
"Yes, Colonel!" Zhang Chi was a little embarrassed, because he didn't remember that he had ever met the colonel.
In fact, this is not to blame Zhang Chi, because at that time he was concentrating on shooting the Japanese soldiers hiding in the jungle, so he didn't notice the American colonel walking by.
The American colonel, on the other hand, had a completely different feeling, because he couldn't believe how the Chinese sniper had discovered those targets that were so cleverly hidden.
"I'm sorry for what just happened!" The colonel patted Zhang Chi on the shoulder and said, "This glass of wine is mine!" ”
With that, he burped, put on his military cap and walked out of the club.
"Who is he?" Zhang Chi asked Anne.
"He's Colonel Brown!" Anne replied: "The front-line commander of the Galahad troops!" ”
"Hmm!" Hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't expect to meet the second-in-command of the Galahad troops in this situation. (To be continued.) )
