Chapter 590: The Eagle Over London (4)
Birmingham Black Rose Bar
The origin of this bar is unknown, at least it has been located here since Colonel Hill and his men were sensible. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The role of pubs in British life should be as indispensable as the cafés and teahouses in some European and American countries. Colonel Hill took Du Changfeng to push open the door and enter the bar, as soon as he pushed the door open, there was a strong smell of wine, ancient and elegant, revealing the quaint British style, retro decoration and relaxing music, immediately into everyone's ears, with the old British decoration style and quite old antiques, wooden tables and chairs, fireplaces, everything began to look very aristocratic.
When Du Changfeng and the others entered the bar, they found that there were a lot of people inside, but although there were many people, most of them were sitting in twos and threes, sitting and talking quite quietly, and there was no almost noisy excitement as they imagined, and most of these people were soldiers wearing dark blue naval uniforms.
After Hill entered the bar, people kept greeting him, and Hill also responded to them warmly, and it could be seen that Hill must be a regular customer here, and those British pilots entered the bar and beckoned their Chinese counterparts around them to sit down.
Hill clapped his palms after entering the bar, and when everyone looked at him, Hill shouted to everyone: "Guys, I'm sure you've heard that the Germans were beaten up by us this afternoon, and they left more than 120 wreckage and fled back to their lair, which is a great victory!" ”
Speaking of this, there was a burst of cheers in the bar.
"The Germans are being kicked in the ass by us!"
"Cheers to victory!"
Listening to the ghost-crying wolf-like voice around him, Colonel Hill pulled Du Changfeng, who was standing beside him, and continued to say loudly: "Also, what I want to tell you is that in today's combat effectiveness, our Royal Air Force of the British Empire is not alone, and we have also received help from the distant Huaxia Air Force, who came to Britain thousands of miles away to help us defeat those German fascists. And I have to tell you the truth, we are about to lose today's battle, and my heart is so cold as I watch my companions fall one after another. I swore to God in my heart that whoever could help me kick those German Nazis in the ass, I would invite him to the best pub and drink the best wine, and just after I had prayed, these guys from China showed up, and they kicked the Germans in the ass and beat them to the ground, so I brought them to the best pub in Birmingham and all of England, guys, do you welcome them? ”
The bar became quiet, all eyes were on the Chinese in Luftwaffe uniforms, and after a while, a burst of cheers suddenly rang out in the bar.
"Welcome guys from China, welcome to the British Empire!"
Seeing the attitude of the GIs and officers in the bar, Hill smiled with satisfaction, and he turned to the many pilots and said, "Guys, drink to your heart's content, everyone's drinks are mine!" ”
"Hooray!"
After hearing Hill's words, all the British pilots cheered, and they invited the Chinese pilots around them to sit in the surrounding seats, and cups of bitter dark beer were also sent to their seats like water. This beer is the most traditional and common wine in the British pub, named for the bitterness of the hops, with a red or amber color, with a layer of white foam floating on the wine, the bitter beer has a drier taste, stronger wine, and will be sweet at the end, mellow taste, most commonly drunk at room temperature, and there will be a bitter taste left between the teeth when you enter the mouth.
Although most of the pilots do not understand the language, at this time the language can not constitute an obstacle to people's communication, sometimes a look and a gesture will let the other party understand what you want to express, and not everyone in the Chinese pilots do not know English, no matter that the people who can afford to fly the plane in that era are not too poor, they naturally have many people who have been exposed to Western education and learned some English, and these people have become everyone's translators, although everyone has different nationalities and received different cultural education, But these warriors who can fight to the death in the sky with warhawks have a common language in many ways, and with a few beers in their stomachs, many of them are starting to hook their shoulders.
As the commanders of the two armies, Hill and Du Changfeng naturally sat at the same table. Hill is an extrovert, and Du Changfeng is also a temper that is not afraid of heaven and earth, and the two became acquainted immediately after a few glasses of beer. Taking advantage of the wine, Hill took the opportunity to ask, "Du ...... Can I ask you a question? ”
"Absolutely!" Du Changfeng smiled and nodded.
Hill asked, "Why do you wear German Nazi uniforms, I have seen Chinese officers visiting England before, as if their uniforms were not like this." ”
Listening to Ma Kaihang's translated words, Du Changfeng chuckled and said: "There is nothing strange about this, you must know that our country has just completed reunification, and the military uniforms across the country are very different. And we are part of the Third Army, and a large part of our army is German in terms of uniforms and weapons, and most importantly, our first two batches of pilots were trained by German instructors, so don't be surprised if you see a strong German style in our ranks or wearing German military uniforms with German weapons, these are all for a reason. ”
"Oh...... I see! Hill understood now, but he didn't feel strange about it, there was no shame in learning from the strong and asking the strong for advice, he nodded to show that he understood, and then he took out his own gun from his waist and handed it to Du Changfeng with both hands.
Du ...... You know, this afternoon I thought I was going to leave my wife and my precious daughter, and I was ready to go to God, but in the end you showed up and pulled me and those guys back from heaven, I'm just a soldier, there's nothing to say, this gun was left by my grandfather, I'll give it to you as a souvenir now! ”
Looking at the pistol handed over by Hill, Du Changfeng originally didn't want to accept it, but seeing Hill's sincere eyes, he accepted it as soon as his heart moved. But then he also took out his pistol and handed it to Hill: "Colonel, we have an old saying in China, come and don't be rude, this is my matching gun, now give it to you, make a souvenir!" ”
Originally, Hill wanted to refuse, because it didn't match his original intention, but when he saw the pistol handed over by Du Changfeng, he suddenly shouted in a terrifying voice: "God, it's Luge!" (To be continued.) )
