Chapter 63: Temporarily Avoiding the Edge
Chen Ming's sudden angry rebuke obviously made the speaker stunned, standing in place and not knowing what to say.
"I see the pride and persistence of the English aristocracy, but I still don't think that your actions can be combined with these noble and perfect words!" Chen Ming put away his gun, took two steps forward and pointed at the man's chest and continued: "Yes, Britain sent troops for its allies, but it couldn't resist and needed to retreat, I can understand all this!" But a retreat is not the same as a despicable betrayal! Don't follow us anymore, I'm ashamed to walk with you! ”
Chen Ming left after speaking, and did not give the man a chance to refute, in fact, he could not say these words, because whether he said it or not, it would not produce too good results.
However, he just felt aggrieved, and it could be said that it was a task for a class of people to escort him here.
But looking around, there were only three of the ten people who set off at that time, and all of them were still injured.
No matter how history records that the British were calm and elegant in Dunkirk, however, the loss of these manpower was attributed to the British by Chen Ming!
With more than five minutes left before the deadline of the mission, Chen Ming finally arrived at the port of Dunkirk, where only one wooden trestle remained.
The beach in front of him was densely packed with British and French soldiers who could not see the edge at a glance, but the trestle was only two or three people wide, and the speed of retreat could be imagined.
The Dunkirk retreat claimed to have evacuated 400,000 British and French troops, but in fact, there were only 25,000 allied soldiers evacuated in the entire Operation Generator operation!
If it were not for the French First Army that bought a few days in the city of Lille, if it were not for Hitler's sudden order to stop the encirclement of Dunkirk, if it were not for the sudden change in the weather in the English Channel.
Britain really can only rely on child soldiers to defend the land!
Of the total 400,000 evacuees, only 340,000 had been evacuated by the end of Operation Generator on June 4, of which about 15,000 were French troops.
The British upper echelons used a beautiful hand to lose the car to protect the commander, and the heroism of the French was fulfilled.
Chen Ming stood in the distance, and could already see the garrison of the French troops, which was less than 20,000 people, sighed and walked towards the camp.
As soon as you step into the camp, a system prompt sounds:
Mission: Retreat to Dunkirk Harbor in 4 hours (Mission Level: Legendary) Completed!
Number of people completed this quest: 2
Additional rewards will be settled after the battle ends!
All the tasks in this battle scene have been completed, and you will exit the settlement screen after 10 seconds.
"Ten"
"Nine"
Looking at the countdown in front of him, Chen Ming turned back to Barre and said, "Do you believe it?" France will win! You must live! ”
"One"
Barre only had time to make a gesture to speak, and the scene froze.
And it was another person who attracted Chen Ming's attention, Lin Xue!
At the last second before the picture paused, Lin Xue said to him: "Wait for you!" ”
Just as Chen Ming wanted to ask, the whole picture stopped.
System Prompt: You have completed all the missions in the Dunkirk Retreat, do you want to choose the end of the battle? Yes/No.
The picture of the pause is shrinking, but the horizon is constantly expanding, the background is the blue sea, the golden beach, a piece of black, it is the British and French troops crowded together.
In the sky, countless warplanes are fighting each other, and on the sea, all kinds of ships are passing through the waves.
The camera pulls out a little more, and a city appears in the frame, ruined walls, and curling smoke rising.
The background text slowly rises from below:
On May 25, 1940, after the collapse of the Anglo-French lines under the rapid offensive of German mechanized troops, the British army carried out the largest military retreat in the history of Dunkirk, a port town in northeastern France near the Belgian border.
Although this large-scale retreat, code-named "Project Dynamo", allowed the British and French to use various ships to withdraw a large number of troops, successfully salvage a large number of manpower, and preserve the vitality of the future counteroffensive. But all the heavy equipment of the British expeditionary force in France was abandoned on the European continent, causing serious problems for the ground defense of the British mainland.
The French First Army, which made a major contribution to the evacuation, was completely annihilated.
Chen Ming looked at these words, but he was thinking in his heart, if Hitler had not ordered the offensive to be stopped, or if the Luftwaffe could really have done what Goering had promised, or if the French troops had not resisted the German attack, then how would history have developed?
It's a pity that history has no ifs!
Thankfully, history has no ifs!
The picture in front of me flashed, and the system text and the soft female voice prompt sounded together:
Hello Lone Wanderer! You have completed the Battle Mission Dunkirk Retreat, and here is the Battle Settlement.
Looking at the system text in front of him, Chen Ming decided to wait and then think about Lin Xue's matter.

After reading the battle settlement, Chen Ming was not disappointed. He used it, and the power was huge, but the two guns that were rewarded didn't know the attributes yet.
The most unexpected thing in the UK is the Sniper's Tier 5 attribute reward, which perfectly explains the definition of a Sniper.
clicked the exit button, and before Chen Ming, who returned to the training ground, had not yet had time to talk to Instructor Charlie, someone next to him greeted him.
"Hey, Lone Wanderer!"
Chen Ming turned his head and found that it was Lin Xue who was talking to him one step ahead of him.
"Hey, you're quitting too? Is there something wrong? When Chen Ming saw Lin Xue, he also saw the four bodyguards following him, and these four big men were really inseparable.
Lin Xue handed out the rifle that Chen Ming gave her before: "No, return your gun!" I've been waiting for you for a long time! ”
"You can keep it, you don't have a good weapon anyway!" Chen Ming frowned slightly, he didn't quite believe that Lin Xue was just to return a rifle.
The most important thing is that he had saved Lin Xue before, although he didn't show anything along the way, but now Chen Ming obviously didn't want to cause any trouble.
It is true that his Lin family is rich, but there are some things that cannot be done by having money.
"But... This gun is expensive! I don't have that many credits either, or I'll transfer it to you! Lin Xue began to use her brain, as long as she agreed to transfer the money, she didn't have to worry about finding out where it was.
Chen Ming continued to frown, thought for a moment before saying, "Okay, $5,000, you transfer to this account!" ”
After speaking, he casually said an account for Lin Xue and turned around and left.
This is not a big deal, Chen Ming went to the barracks after leaving, he needs to save some useless things, not to mention that he still has a legend and a legend in his bag, and two weapons that are rewarded by the system.
The barracks is an absolutely private space, and there is no need to think about being disturbed, sitting on a stool, Chen Ming took out two guns to check the attributes.
Although that kar.98k is legendary, it is not suitable for use as a sniper rifle in terms of attributes, if you use sniping, the one sent to Lin Xue is better than this one.
The other is a pistol, a revolver. The only highlight of the gun is the rapid-fire attribute, but relatively speaking, the same does not help Chen Ming much, he decided that it would be better to lose both guns to the auction house, and there is no need to bother to go to the auction.
Just after dealing with all this, it showed that someone was calling outside the game, Chen Ming was startled and quickly disconnected from the game.
did not expect Chen Ming, it was a genius who contacted him, but the news brought by the genius was not so good!
"All in all, that's it, I want you to cancel all recent events!" On the genius connection, Natasha is also there, and the genius finally makes such a suggestion.
"Are you sure there are at least twenty forces investigating us?" Chen Ming is a little incredible, they are not a deadly force, if it sounds good, it is called stragglers, but if it is not good, it is a lost dog, will there be so many forces paying attention?
"I've heard some bad news lately, and I've contacted Ivan and asked him to suspend his activities!" Natasha's expression was as indifferent as ever, as if it wasn't her business when the sky fell.
Chen Ming rubbed the stubble on his chin, his brows furrowed tightly and paced back and forth in the room.
The other two looked at him, because now he was the only one who did not agree to suspend the investigation.
"Okay..."With a long exhalation, Chen Ming stared at the genius and said, "I can stop the action temporarily, but if there is news, you must notify me as soon as possible!" ”
"No problem! Besides, I'm going to change places, and I don't think it's going to be too safe here, Doctor! I'll contact you when I find a place! The genius disconnected after saying that.
The screen was dark, Chen Ming looked at his shadow on the screen, his brows were furrowed tighter and tighter.
The other side...
"Miss, I found it!" A black-clad bodyguard said respectfully to a girl sitting on the sofa.
"Speak!" There is only one word, but the brutality in the tone is about to come out.
"It was a charity account of the International Red Cross for children with congenital heart disease." This matter is so simple, the bodyguard doesn't understand why the lady is willing to ask someone to check for 1 million.
Hearing the words of the bodyguard, the girl was stunned for a moment, but her hand was clenched tighter!
