The next day, after breakfast, Tao Yong leisurely walked onto the deck. British Military Attache Philip completely lifted the curfew during the day, and they were allowed to go on deck at any time during the day, but the rules at night remained unchanged. With such a change, Tao Yong and his subordinates don't need to be in a hurry. It is another sunny day, calm and calm weather, standing on the deck and looking into the distance, the sky is blue, the sea is blue, the scenery of the sea seems to be more beautiful, Tao Yong is the resolution of twists and turns, and the mood is particularly comfortable.

"I love this blue ocean, the magnificent and vast sea frontier of the motherland・・・・・・." Tao Yong couldn't help but hum in a low voice. "The melody is beautiful, rough and heroic, and it shows masculinity, which is so good!" Tao Yong was enjoying himself, and a voice like a silver bell sounded in his ears. Tao Yong turned his head and saw a girl in a white cheongsam standing in front of him, with a bright smile on her face. "Sir, I have wronged you because of the British, and I apologize for this rudeness!"

"Miss, it doesn't matter, don't worry too much!" "Let's get to know each other, Miss Ben's name is Wu Yaqiong. This time, I followed my father to the United States. Daddy is the president of the Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Mumbai, India, and went to the American Overseas Chinese Fundraising Committee to take up the post. Originally, I wanted to return to China to participate in the Anti-Japanese War, but my parents thought that I was a weak woman and disagreed, saying that I could also serve the Anti-Japanese War overseas. "Miss Wu, my name is Tao Yong." Regarding Wu Yaqiong's generosity, straightforwardness and honesty, Tao Yong was obviously a little restrained. "Daddy, mother, come here!"

"Chief Tao, this is my father, this is my mother!" "Tao meets Mr. and Mrs. Wu!" "The contemptible surname is Wu, the name is Yaozu, and his ancestral home is Chaozhou, Guangdong. Because the truth is unknown, please include it if you are offended! "Mr. Wu is polite, hearing what Ling Ai said, Mr. has the ambition to serve the country, and he went to the United States to raise funds for the Anti-Japanese War, Tao deeply admired!" "I can't talk about the ambition to serve the country, and now that the Japanese invaders have ravaged my great rivers and mountains, it is incumbent on me to dedicate my modest efforts as the descendants of Yan and Huang."

"The country is in trouble, overseas Chinese help each other, their heart to serve the country is admirable, and our generation is ashamed!" It can be seen that Chief Tao is a hot-blooded man, and the old man is very relieved. It's a long journey, so don't bother you young people to talk! Wu Yaozu saw Tao Yong's forehead sweating, and understood that the other party was not good at socializing, so he wisely said goodbye. Mr. Wu left with his wife, and Tao Yong took a mouthful. "Look at how nervous you are, wipe your sweat!" Wu Yaqiong smiled and took out a handkerchief and handed it over.

"No need, it'll stain your handkerchief!" "Do you think my handkerchief is not clean?" Wu Yaqiong was disgusted. "That's not what I mean, it's that Miss's handkerchief is too clean!" "In that case, why refuse a girl's kindness!" "It's ・・・・・・." Tao Yong had no choice but to take the handkerchief to wipe his sweat, showing an embarrassed expression at the concern from the other party. "If you don't want to go, you can wash it and return it to me!" Tao Yong saw that black marks appeared on the handkerchief, and he put away the handkerchief in embarrassment.

"Last night you knocked the Englishman to the ground with three punches and two kicks, and you were so relieved. My father said that he had been bullied by foreigners since he was sensible, and last night was the first time he raised his eyebrows. Actually, I'm happy and worried about you, the British didn't bother you! "No", it's gone." "You are the Navy of the Nationalist Government?" "Yes!" "Why join the British Navy?"

"At present, China and Britain are allies to deal with fascism together!" "It's a pity that I'm not a man, otherwise I would have returned to China to kill the enemy!" "Actually, you are very brave and jealous, such as accusing me to my face!" Wu Yaqiong blushed and said: "Don't people know, why don't you forgive." "Speak up, I like your character!" As soon as the words came out, Tao Yong felt a little speechless, and hurriedly avoided the girl's eyes and looked at the sea. If a man and a woman fall in love at first sight, their attraction is uncontrollable.

The next morning, they met again on deck. "Miss Wu, the handkerchief will be returned to you after it is cleaned, thank you for the handkerchief." Tao Yong handed over the handkerchief. Wu Yaqiong didn't answer and said mischievously: "You are real, the handkerchief was given to you." Don't mind if I don't dislike you, it's rare to meet on the sea, even if it's a greeting gift! And you need a handkerchief to wipe your sweat. Tao Yong's head was a little dizzy, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.

Tao Yong once swore that he would never become a family if he did not defeat the Japanese bandits and did not win the War of Resistance. As a young admiral of the Eighth Route Army, many enthusiastic people were politely rejected by him. But in the face of this girl today, it seems that she can't resist the "temptation", and she has a feeling in her heart that she has never felt before. He remembered what Ouyang Jian had said: You threatened to marry again after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War? That's an overstatement. You haven't met the person you like, and you'll know what's going on when the time comes. I remember that I swore in front of Ouyang Jian, could it be that the chief of the general staff can pinch it?

At this time, Tao Yong's heartbeat increased a little. "We've already met, don't call Miss in the future, just call me Yaqiong, okay?" The voice was so pleasant to the heart, Tao Yong nodded mechanically. "Tao Yong, are you a naval officer?" "Yes!" "You have drifted across the sea battlefield, your family must be very worried! Your wife must be strong! "I have no family, I'm an orphan, and I don't have a wife!" "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that!" Wu Yaqiong's heart was pounding.

After a few days, they got along hotly, and the girl completely opened her heart and talked about everything, but Tao Yong didn't talk much about personal matters, especially when it came to military discipline, and had to hide his identity. Tao Yong warned himself not to fall too deep, not to let love trap him. Besides, I don't know when the blood stains the battlefield, and I must not harm the girl. But Wu Yaqiong is different, the man in front of him is the hero of his dreams, for a girl who is in love for the first time, she naturally has no scruples.

The loneliness of sailing at sea, Tao Yong and the girl's affection naturally became the talk of his subordinates. "Commander, look at your reluctant appearance, you have something on your mind!" ", do I have it?" "Everyone can see that the girl is beautiful and generous, so you can take it!" "Your wife must be strong!" A subordinate screams his voice! The crowd burst into laughter. Tao Yong couldn't tell the difference, so he had to be gaged by everyone.

Freighters depart from Mumbai, India, and basically sail in the dimension of 40 degrees of the north and south equators. With the equator as the center, the area is 40 degrees north and south, with spring in the north and autumn in the south, so the sea surface is mild and stormy days are almost non-existent, and freighters sail unhindered. After about 20 days and nights, Cape Town, South Africa, the southernmost point of the African continent, is in sight. After the Mediterranean Sea became a battlefield, the Suez Canal was cut off from the sea to the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean now surrounds the Cape of Good Hope, the southernmost tip of the African continent, and the Atlantic Ocean is the maritime lifeline of the British to South Asia.

South Africa is geographically located between 45 degrees and 25 degrees in the southern hemisphere and has a subtropical savannah climate. Summer is from October to February, winter is from June to August, and spring and autumn are the rest of the months. Because South Africa's topography is characterized by a continental plateau, the temperature in South Africa is lower than that of other countries at the same latitude, but the temperature is also above zero throughout the year, with an average temperature of 12 to 23 degrees. It's May, and it's autumn in South Africa, and it's warm and pleasant.

The freighter was a day late in Cape Town, South Africa, and instead of loading and unloading cargo, it loaded some guests. Since South Africa was a British colony, most of the guests on board were British. After the cargo ship docked, Wu Yaqiong proposed to go ashore to play, but Tao Yong couldn't leave the ship. Wu Yaqiong did not accompany her parents ashore, but stayed on the boat to accompany Tao Yong. Wu Yaozu and his wife got off the boat to browse, and his wife said worriedly: "My daughter is in love, what should we do?" ”

"The young man is good, but it's a pity that he is a soldier, and the little girl is in love for the first time, so we can't interfere. In fact, you don't have to worry, they will naturally separate when they arrive in the United States. "Our daughter is stubborn, that's what worries me the most. I hinted that he was a soldier, but my daughter was indifferent. If the young man has three longs and two shorts, the second half of his daughter's life will be ruined! I think the young man is very reasonable, would you like to talk to him! ”

"Nonsense, how can I say such a thing, maybe after the United States separates, they will naturally break off." "What if they can't break off when they get to the United States? I don't want my daughter to live in tears in the future. "The young man is a member of the British Navy, and his location and unit are military secrets, and even if they can't break off, they can't meet, and time will forget everything." You and I should pretend to be confused, lest our daughter blame us! ”

The freighter continued its voyage from Cape Town, where they were able to reach the United States thanks to the German High Command's strict orders for German submarines to attack American ships. The attack on American ships by German submarines was a matter of events after the outbreak of the Pacific War. The east coast of the United States walked slowly, and that night, Wu Yaqiong and Tao Yong stood on the deck and stared at each other. Tao Yong's reason had to overcome reality, and in the end, he made the painful decision to cut off the love thread for the happiness of his beloved.

The moonlight was bright, and the two sides looked at each other affectionately, "Tao Yong, I'll be in the United States tomorrow morning, don't you want to say something?" I'm a woman, is it hard for me to speak first? Tao Yong was silent. You're so much of a wood, it's hard for you not to understand a girl's heart? Tao Yong's heart ached faintly, but he held back his feelings and said: "Yaqiong, you are a good girl, just when we had a beautiful dream!" "You don't like me!" "Nope! Very much! ”

Yaqiong slammed into Tao Yong's arms and said, "I know what you want to say, I don't care about ・・・・・・." Wu Yaqiong cried, and tears soaked through Tao Yong's clothes. The next day, when the freighter arrived at the port, Wu Yaqiong and her parents disembarked, hoping that she did not see a single Chinese soldier. In the midst of her anxiety, one of the crew members handed her a letter: Yaqiong, farewell. Don't blame me, I'm a warrior, maybe the battlefield is my final destination. For the sake of my beloved, I will fight bravely and will never let you down. You are a good girl, you deserve to be happy and have a long future, and I have no right to deprive it of ・・・・・.

Finally, he was signed Tao Yong. Wu Yaqiong couldn't help but tears came out of her eyes after reading the letter, and secretly made up her mind, even if I go to the ends of the earth, I will find you. Even if you sacrifice your life for your country, I will find your tombstone.
