Chapter 480 480 Throw them with pumpkins
The London branch moved quickly, and the pilots hiding in the cabinet were quickly secretly picked up.
On the night of the downing of the plane, the crew met in the slums of London. And Louie, who slipped out the back door of the bathroom and escaped? Morality? Finis also arrives at the secret stronghold.
"You're in a nice place." Louis covered his nose, "The house is full of dust, and the decoration is so messy that it has no beauty, how can a person live in such a place." ”
"Actually, it's the cleanest house we can find." The man with glasses, who looked like the leader, shrugged his shoulders at Louie, "Mr. Commander may not be able to imagine what kind of life the people in the ghetto are living, dirty and messy, and the worst is secondary, and not being able to fill their stomachs is the most troublesome thing for the poor." ”
"But you seem to be well-educated." Louis glared at the man in glasses, "How can a poor man who has not had enough to eat raise an educated person?" ”
"Actually, most of my comrades are well-educated, and many of them have knighthoods." The man with glasses pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "We gather here for the sake of righteousness and share the fate with the people." ”
"That's a nice thing to say, but I heard that Mr. Lin Youde has lived in the palace of the former emperor, and has a large number of servants, enjoying the treatment that only an emperor has. I don't mean to be sarcastic, in fact I think people like him should be different from other people, but I think that if you are going to carry the banner of panhumanism to subvert society for your own benefit, then it is better to do it, and not to make yourself like a mujahideen. Of course, if you can make life a little better for the people, I applaud you. ”
After speaking, Louie himself applauded.
Several members of the London branch looked at each other, and one of them asked the man with glasses, "Do we have to send him to France with us?" ”
"Of course, he's seen us as we are, especially the guys in charge of the joints who are out there, and it's too risky to put him back and let him work with the agents." The man in glasses shook his head, "Mr. Commander, I don't deny that some of us have a speculative mentality, but most of us have a relatively noble starting point, otherwise we would not have survived Churchill's strict search before." Churchill's actions have made many opportunists cowardly and turn to the arms of the government, and they have betrayed many people, who have either been thrown into the Tower of London or simply hanged, so remember this before you question our motives. ”
Louie's expression looked a little embarrassed, he touched his bare head and said, "Okay, I'll remember...... Well, let me also apologize to those who were thrown into the Tower of London and hanged, and I think their motives must have been really noble. ”
"Alright, now I'm going to explain to you the plan for escaping." The man in glasses made a gesture, and his men quickly unfolded a map of the United Kingdom, and the man in glasses pointed to the map and said, "We have already sent several groups of German pilots back home, and we thought that the route to send these groups of pilots back home might have been detected, so we decided to take a new route." We are prepared to send you out to sea from Dover in small boats, across the narrowest part of the Strait. ”
"How small is it?" Louie interrupted the man with glasses, "I...... Can't swim. ”
"Because the port of Dover is blocked by mines, I think we can only use a boat of about 100 tons to get you to a place where German seaplanes can come to meet you, and then you will have to stay in the dinghy and wait for the patrolling German planes. We had sent the pilots back to leave them at sea and leave them with some smoke generators. ”
"We have our own flares with smoke." "The new set of survival kits has everything in it, as well as dry food and chocolate to refuel in case it falls out in the wild." ”
"Absolutely no boats!" Louis waved his hands to draw everyone's attention back to himself, "I said, I can't swim!" Got it, I can't swim! ”
"Mr. Commander, you don't need to swim, we're on the boat from start to finish."
"But you're going to keep me in the dinghy! There were so many of us crammed into the dinghy that we were all done with a slightly bigger wave! ”
"Mr. Commander, the dinghy we are talking about is not the kind of dinghy that two people row in the park, it is more than enough to carry all the pilots plus you, and ......" The man with glasses stretched out his hand to the side, and someone immediately handed him a piece of paper, he looked at the contents of the paper and continued, "The weather forecast provided by our assistant at the Naval Meteorological Bureau shows that the weather in the English Channel has been very good in recent days, and the predicted wave height is only about one meter, and it is very windy and sunny weather, and there will be no danger. ”
"Okay, okay," Louis reluctantly accepted, but he immediately emphasized, "If I fall overboard, I wish someone would come to my rescue!" ”
"I'll save you, Mr. Command." Mackintosh, who was protected by Louis at the Royal Albert Hall, said, "I'm a great swimmer, I'll get in the water as soon as you get out of the water, YOU-JUMP, I-JUMP." ”
Louis looked at the pilot and pouted.
"Well, I have a question," he said, turning his head to look at the man in glasses, "how do we get to Dover?" ”
"Take the car." The man with glasses immediately replied, "We are going to send a cart of pumpkins from London to Dover, these pumpkins are leftover from the Halloween carved jack-o'-lanterns that the nobles have bought, and we can save some ordinary people by sending them to Dover, after all, the Germans' supplies are only for big cities like London." ”
"It's unbelievable that the nobles can still buy pumpkins under such circumstances? I thought it was all eaten. Reginald had a surprised expression.
"What's so strange about that," said Louis to Reginald, shaking his head, "they can buy pumpkins from abroad, and you seal the big port with mines, and they will transfer the pumpkins that the big ship has brought back to the small boat at sea, and then use the small boat to dock in the small port that is not blocked." ”
"What a waste of capacity." Mackintosh frowned and muttered, "With this leisure, wouldn't it be good to give more supplies to the domestic transport?" ”
"They rent American boats, the Navy can't control them, and the small boats for transshipment are hired fishermen." "The money they pay the fishermen is pumpkins, and as a result, they do make some people eat something different at Halloween." Of course, the fishermen themselves can catch fish to make a living, and the situation is much better than that of the poor in London, although it is quite difficult to go out to fish on such cold days.
"In addition, as far as I know, the lower house of parliament has questioned these actions of the great nobles, but the nobles claim that they have bought war bonds, and that they have children in their families who serve their country on the battlefield, and that they have fulfilled their duties as nobles. So the parliament couldn't do anything about them, because what they said was also true, they did buy national debt, and they also had family members who served in the army, and some of them died in Germany. In fact, there is now a considerable part of the parliament that thinks that the aristocracy has done its best, and instead accuses the commoners of not doing their best. ”
"I guess the NERV branch is being used by these people as an argument in favor of themselves." Reginald said.
The man in glasses just shrugged his shoulders.
"Have a good night's rest," he said, "and we'll leave tomorrow." ”
**
The next morning, the group set off in the body of a truck full of cucumbers - of course, the glasses man and others, who were the head of the London branch, were not along, only a guide and a driver were responsible for driving in the front cockpit.
The truck drove out of downtown London and onto the road to Dover.
Probably because of the imminent escape, Reginald's crew was in a good mood, whistling to the tune of mandarin duck tea.
"I don't understand," Louis asked Mackintosh, "why use Mandarin Duck Tea as a contact code?" I'm not saying that this song is bad, but this is an American song, after all, it is still relatively abrupt in the UK, isn't it good to choose a little bit of British tunes? ”
"For example?" Mackintosh asked.
"For example, Edward Elgar's "Majestic March" begins like this, Bang! Bangbang ......"
Louis used ventriloquist to perfectly imitate the prelude to the "Majestic March".
Mackintosh shook his head, "I've never heard this tune. However, I know that Mr. Hayashi wrote a song that is also called majestic, and it is said that it is too avant-garde for everyone to appreciate, so it has not been made public. ”
"That uses another ...... by Elgar"
"I've never heard of this composer." Mackintosh interrupted Louie.
"Edward Elgar you haven't even heard of? Then half of your life has lost its meaning. ”
"What about Henry? What about R. Bishop? ”
"Oh, then you've lost half of the meaning of your remaining life."
"But I can swim." Mackintosh smiled at Louie.
"Damn, I'm not telling you a fable, I hate that fable the most......"
At this time, Reginald booed and interrupted Louie.
"There's a checkpoint ahead, be quiet!"
Both Louis and Mackintosh fell silent, and as the carriage quieted, the truck could be clearly felt slowing down.
"Raise the pumpkin wall a little higher." Louis suddenly had an idea, and immediately began to carry the pumpkins under his feet and put them on top of the pumpkin pile that was blocking everyone in the carriage. As a result, as soon as he lifted the pumpkin under his feet, the "pumpkin wall", which had lost its overall balance, fell inward with a bang, and everyone immediately lost its shield.
"Oh,." Reginald muttered, then knocked the rear glass of the cab, "The pumpkin wall fell, we lost cover, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed over!" ”
The truck accelerated violently, causing the remaining pumpkin pile to collapse further.
Immediately after the truck rushed over the checkpoint, Louis saw the British soldiers shouting and chasing the speeding truck, and when he realized that he could not catch up, he raised his guns and fired.
The people in the carriage were all lying on the back of the pumpkins and hunching their necks.
"We should be glad that the British army is not widely equipped with automatic weapons." Mackintosh said.
Reginald patted him on the shoulder: "We should also be glad that the British are not universally equipped with motorcycles and jeeps. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a squad of eight cavalrymen rushing onto the road on high-headed horses, chasing after the car.
Mackintosh and Reginald looked at each other and laughed together, but then Louis patted Mackintosh: "They're going to catch up!" ”
Only then did the two Yankees realize that the horses were indeed approaching the car.
Reginald slammed on the rear glass of the cab: "They're going to catch up." ”
"No way!" Two Britons in the front seat shouted, "This classic car is enough to choke, and many parts of the engine should be replaced!" Throw them with pumpkins! ”
