Chapter 688: Impulsive
Later, Zhang Chi learned that British officers liked to drink this wine because it was difficult to eat fresh vegetables in the desert, and "Bloody Mary" was a cocktail made with a mixture of vodka, tomato juice, lemon slices, and celery root, which could replenish the vitamins needed by the human body.

Of course, this was limited to British officers.
"What are you thinking?" Seeing that Zhang Chi seemed to be distracted, Page asked.
"I'm thinking about ......" Zhang Chi leaned back and said, "Why did you start the interview?" ”
"Isn't that now?"
"Now?" Zhang Chi smiled: "But you didn't ask anything!" ”
"Okay!" Paige said, "Do you have a girlfriend?" ”
Zhang Chi couldn't help but be stunned: "What kind of problem is this?" ”
"Of course it's a problem!"
"Would you put it in your story?"
"Of course!" Page said: "I will say it in the report...... General Zhang Chi, who has been fighting on the battlefield for several years and is always in danger, has not had a girlfriend until now. I think that once this report is published, many ladies will send you love letters! ”
Zhang Chi couldn't help but laugh a little, he obviously didn't expect Page to be so direct.
"So...... Do you have an answer to my question? Page asked.
"Yes!"
"Uh-huh!" Page looked at Zhang Chi expectantly, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
"I have a girlfriend!" Zhang Chi said.
"Oh!" The enthusiasm in Page's eyes quickly dimmed.
"So your report can't be published!" Zhang Chi said.
"You're trying to keep me from publishing?" Page asked.
"Of course not!"
"Okay!" Paige replied disappointedly, "She's a lucky one, tell me about her!" ”
"She's a journalist!" Zhang Chi said.
"Oh!" A hint of surprise crossed Paige's face: "What a coincidence! ”
"Yes!" Zhang Chi looked at Page and replied, "She still has beautiful blonde hair!" ”
Page seemed to understand something, stared at her big eyes and said bitterly: "She doesn't happen to be an Englishman, right?" ”
Zhang Chi pretended to be surprised and replied, "How do you know?" ”
"you......" Paige couldn't help but laugh, "I also know she's happy now!" ”
As she spoke, Page raised her glass.
This time, Zhang Chi tasted a hint of cold sweetness, apparently because the ice cubes in the cocktail had melted...... Zhang Chi couldn't help but sigh secretly: This Englishman really fucking enjoys it, on the battlefield, on the battlefield in the desert, there are actually ice cubes!
Page was very talkative, sometimes talking about her father, who was wounded in World War I and running a newspaper, and sometimes about her brother, who was serving in the army, and occasionally scolded: "This damn war, if it weren't for it, we could go back to England and see them now!" I think they will like you very much, and they will definitely be happy to discuss with you how to defeat the enemy on the battlefield......"
What Paige said was true, because Zhang Chi could see the innocent smile on her face, and she even began to paint the scene.
But Zhang Chi felt a trace of guilt in his heart.
While answering the phone with Page, Zhang Chi asked himself from time to time...... Are you really in love with her? Or is it because the battlefield is too bitter and tiring, and you need to find a little stimulation and need to relax? Or both?!
Zhang Chi didn't know the answer.
Then Zhang Chi raised his wine glass and drank it all...... Whatever! I don't know what tomorrow will be like yet, but I've spent all my days pinning my head to my belt, isn't it stupid to think so much?!
However, at this moment, a communications soldier hurriedly ran to Zhang Chi and stepped forward to report: "Deputy military seat, there is an important telegram!" ”
"Oh!" Zhang Chi couldn't help but look at Page apologetically.
"It's okay!" Page nodded in understanding: "I know, although I need you, this war also needs you!" ”
As he spoke, Page handed Zhang Chi the military hat he put on the table, and straightened Zhang Chi's collar, just like saying goodbye to his husband who went out to work, and said, "I'll wait for you!" ”
At that moment, Zhang Chi was suddenly a little moved, or it could be said to be an impulse, an impulse to get rid of everything and live a two-person world with Page...... At this time, Zhang Chi knew the true meaning of the sentence "Gentle Township Hero Mound".
Returning to the headquarters in a huff, Staff Officer Liang immediately handed a telegram to Zhang Chi, saying: "The order of the command of the Eighth Army, let us rush back to Port Said immediately!" ”
"Back to Port Said?" Hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help frowning: "What kind of fame?" We were stationed in Maherama just now, and now we are rushing back?! ”
In fact, what Zhang Chi doesn't understand is that he can basically say that he has fallen out with Montgomery, so it is normal for Montgomery to let himself be stationed in Maherama, why rush back to Port Said? It's more annoying to see it under your nose, isn't it?
"Vice-Commander!" Staff Officer Liang asked, "Look...... Could it be that the Germans attacked again, and the British couldn't stand it anymore and let us rush back? ”
"Probably not!" Zhang Chi shook his head: "The Germans were badly injured in the battle of Mahairama, and they didn't recover so quickly, not to mention that Alexandria was still in the hands of the British, so why didn't they hit Port Said so quickly!" ”
"Then this is ......" Staff Officer Liang looked at the telegram and was a little puzzled.
What Zhang Chi and Staff Officer Liang didn't know was that these were actually because of a telegram from Nimitz.
After Nimitz called Montgomery back, he still felt uneasy about it, because in Montgomery's current state, it was basically impossible to cooperate well with the Chinese army, so he sent another telegram to Churchill.
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister!" Nimitz said: "I know that you have always admired Rommel and praised him in public as a 'military genius', and someone replied 'If Rommel had served in the British army, I would have been a sergeant', I think this is happening!" ”
At this time, Churchill was dealing with the German blockade of the British Isles at home, and he was very busy, and he couldn't help but be a little confused when he saw Nimitz's telegram.
"General, what do you mean?" Churchill called back and asked, "Are you saying I won't use people?" ”
"No, Your Excellency Prime Minister!" Nimitz replied: "I mean North Africa, I sent a 'Rommel' to fight in North Africa, his fighting style is very similar to Rommel, and he recently defeated a German armored division with an armored regiment, and I am sure you have also got relevant information." But...... He is being treated unfairly, and if it were possible, General Montgomery would prefer to demote him to a sergeant! ”
Churchill quickly thought of a recent victory won by the Chinese army in the North African theater...... Was there any conflict between Montgomery and the Chinese army?
