026 One step away

What Goering did not expect was that the Americans had already received information about the German bomber group before it had even taken off from Europe.

To Hitler's surprise, the Americans and the British were no worse than them in terms of intelligence cultivation, and there were a large number of British and American spies in Germany, coupled with the round-the-clock reconnaissance of US military reconnaissance planes targeting Germany, and any secret movements of the Third Reich could not be concealed from the eyes of the Americans.

After learning the news of the Germans' preparations, the British troops stationed in North Africa turned on their radars around the clock to monitor the German side, and the Royal Air Force also drew elite troops from the mainland to rush to North Africa, ready to support at any time.

In the past few days, the sky over North Africa has been cloudy, and a situation before the advent of the Great War is about to take shape.

……

At the time of emergency dispatch in all aspects, the talks also became tense.

The talks in the afternoon reached a number of agreements, including the United States to increase its assistance to China and send naval forces to Southeast Asia to assist Chinese troops in combat.

Of course, there are many differences, especially on issues such as the war in Burma and Hong Kong, where there is almost no consensus between the two sides.

The talks had to be suspended again.

After the talks, Huang Ke simply said to Roosevelt directly: "Mr. President, let's put it this way, after the war, China will recover all the territories that have been forcibly occupied, and Hong Kong is among them. But Burma, as well as other British territories on the Indochinese Peninsula, we have no intention of occupying anything. Get rid of you here today and tell Churchill that we are only going to take back our own territory, but we must also take back our own territory. ”

Roosevelt saw that Huang Ke was a little angry, and he knew that he couldn't make a big deal about it, so he thought for a moment and said, "I'll go and tell him what you want, and I think he will understand this truth." But, you know, Winston has a hard time making decisions about this, and it's not something he can decide. ”

"I understand." Huang Kedao.

"That's fine, and, Mr. Huang, I want to remind you that we are all allies now. The common enemies of all were the Japanese and the Germans. Roosevelt smiled slightly. The smile has the unique charm of a politician.

"Of course, please rest assured of this, Your Excellency. This is also the reason why we have not sent troops to Hong Kong, which is occupied by the Japanese. Huang Ke also said to Roosevelt.

Roosevelt smiled again, "Thank you." ”

……

Roosevelt went to talk with Churchill for a while, and in the following talks, Churchill's attitude improved, but he also said that he could not give an answer to the Hong Kong issue at present, and that he needed to go back to China to discuss it in Parliament and the Cabinet.

Huang Ke knew that this matter could not be discussed, so why should he be more serious on this issue. The meeting itself is about seeking common ground while reserving many differences.

In accordance with these principles, the sub-venues began to hold detailed talks, after all, the heads of state of the four countries only talked about the general situation, and all kinds of cumbersome matters such as specific docking and campaigns required detailed consultations by professionals from all sides.

Thus, the day's talks were almost over.

At the end of a day of intense and hectic talks, the British side arranged a grand welcome dinner in the lobby of the Mina Palace Hotel in the evening.

The entourage and delegations of various countries have been busy all day today, either arguing with arguments at the branch venues, or busy sorting out various documents and materials all day long.

After a busy day, everyone is also hungry, and the weather in Cairo is good, and the temperature is relatively suitable.

……

In the evening, everyone changed into suits and other formal dresses to attend the banquet. Although the banquet was formal, it was not rigid, everyone walked back and forth with wine glasses in hand, and many beautiful British girls and hotel hostesses came to help the fun, singing and dancing to melodious music.

"Honorable Heads of State, Gentlemen and Ladies! As hosts, we welcome all of you. In order to liven up the atmosphere, everyone can perform any good show. On the British side, Viscount Gilleren stood on a high spot and raised his glass to give advice to the crowd.

A middle-aged man from the British delegates sang an opera, a young man from the United States played a piano piece on the spot, and three men in military uniforms from the Soviet Union danced their own unique dance.

The three men in military uniforms danced vigorously to the beat of the music, and the leather boots stepped on the wooden floor to make a loud beat, although it looked like a grass stage team, but people couldn't help but dance to the rhythm.

When it was the turn of the Chinese representatives, there was almost no show to save the scene, but fortunately, Fourteen Tsai followed people to play erhu since he was a child, and he also took the erhu every day, and took the erhu on the spot, and he pulled one of the sections of Erquan Yingyue, although it was a little bleak, but it was a unique orchestral beauty.

At this time, a woman in a burgundy evening dress walked over.

A burgundy evening dress with a towering figure, as well as her outstanding appearance and a sparkling diamond necklace around her neck, are enough to make her stand out in the banquet.

All eyes were on it. At this time, everyone noticed that this touching lady turned out to be a hotel staff member, Guvanilla.

Guwanilla came over and bowed slightly with the heads of state of the four countries, and said that on behalf of the hotel, he welcomed the arrival of the heads of state of the four countries.

Roosevelt smiled slightly: "Madam, if it weren't for her health, I would definitely come up and invite her to dance." ”

Churchill smiled heartily: "Your Excellency, I think we should give priority to the lady and let her choose who of us to dance with?" ”

"Then the question is, ma'am, which of us would you choose as your dance partner?" Roosevelt laughed.

Guwanilla smiled slightly, she glanced at Stalin, then at Roosevelt, then at Churchill, but then moved to Huang Ke and said, "Mr. Chairman, can you invite me to do a dance?" ”

"Sure enough, ladies like handsome men. However, our Mr. Huang may not necessarily jump. Churchill quipped.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Huang Ke, Huang Ke put down the wine glass in his hand, smiled and said to the band: "Please help me play a song one step away." ”

With that, Huang Ke made an "invite" gesture, and Guvanilla put his hand on Huang Ke's hand, and the two strolled onto the dance floor while the band played music.

With the rhythm of the music, the footsteps of the two were sometimes fast, sometimes slow, elegant, intertwined and rotated, and the eyes of the two kept exchanging, and the music was completely forgotten at this time.

Guvanilla had never felt this way, perhaps, Huang Ke's dance steps and dancing skills were much inferior to those professional dancers, but in the process of dancing, she had a sense of being conquered, which was enough to forget the identity of her dance partner and the audience around her, and completely silenced it.

And that's the charm of dance.

After a dance, the two made a final dance posture, and the music stopped abruptly, and everyone applauded after a while.

Guvanilla was embraced by Huang Ke and closed her eyes in a state of intoxication, if it weren't for the applause, she didn't even know it was over.

After a brief curtain call, the host let everyone enter the dance floor, and the normal dinner party entered*.

……

At the time of the ball* of the dinner, the heads of state of the four countries went back to rest one after another. As heads of state, their presence is far more symbolic than practical. Besides, it's not a good fit to stay here.

Huang Ke returned to his room to get ready to rest. The days of flying and back-to-back meetings had exhausted him, and he thought about taking a shower and going to bed.

At this time, the doorbell rang.

Huang Ke opened the door to look, but it was Guvanilla.

Huang Ke was not surprised by Guvanilla's arrival, he smiled and asked, "Hello lady, is there anything wrong?" ”

She smiled and said, "Sir, can I come in?" ”

Huang Ke glanced up and down, Guvanilla had already changed out of her evening dress, and was now dressed much more casually, wearing a beige trench coat with a black hat, glass stockings and light-colored high heels exposed at her knees, and with her curvy figure, it looked pretty good.

The guard at the door glanced at him, and after Huang Ke made a gesture with his eyes, he took the guard out to the door, and Huang Ke made a gesture of invitation: "Of course, you are welcome, Miss Guvanilla." ”

Guwanilla walked in and closed the door with his hand. After closing it, she took off her beige trench coat and hat and hung them on the coat rack next to her.

Taking off the outer coat, Guvanilla was wearing a black silk undershirt inside, which was very close-fitting and completely highlighted her curvy figure, and the undershirt was also very short, and you could even see the suspenders of glass stockings.

Huang Ke frowned, and he asked rhetorically, "I don't know what Miss Guvanilla is looking for me?" ”

Guwanilla sat on the sofa beside him, his left leg resting on his right leg, then picked up a cigarette on the table, lit it himself, took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Huang, I want to tell you something." ”

"Please."

"I came because I was assigned by some people who wanted me to get close to you, and then induce some secrets from you."

Huang Ke was surprised by this statement, and he thought about it quickly in his mind, but on the surface it was still unfazed.

"So, why are you saying this to me?" Huang Ke asked.

Guwanilla flicked the ash of her cigarette, "Still, let me tell you, at the moment I danced, I had decided to change my mind. ”
