Chapter 41: A Gathering of Comrades-in-Arms
At 12 midnight on August 14, 1945, under the dome of the Kaisha Building, which Her Holiness named the "Temple of Justice".
Xiao Yuebai stood at the edge of the main hall, looking at the lights of thousands of homes on the west side of the building silently, she seemed to be still struggling with what Kaisha said during the day, what was the surprise she gave herself?
After a long time, as the elevator door on this floor opened, Kaisha quickly came to Xiao Yuebai's side, and after carefully observing for a while, Xiao Yuebai spoke:
"You know what? Now at our feet, on the other side of the world, on the sea outside of the cherry blossoms, a signing ceremony is taking place that has caused a sensation in the world! ”
Keisha, who was still dressed in a white dress, ruffled her long broken blonde hair when she heard this, and then replied with a smile: "The war is over, have you thought about the future development plan of our company?" ”
"Not yet!" Xiao Yuebai shook his head, and naturally reached out to hug the queen beside him.
However, what is surprising is that she, who has long been accustomed to physical contact with this man, actually rejected Xiao Yuebai's request unusually, and then said with a smile:
"If you have a mind, you should think about how to make money, right? Hexi's research has been spending more and more recently, and you can't afford to support the two of us! ”
The queen's refusal did not make Xiao Yuebai think much about it, but nodded with a smile and replied:
"Okay, I got it! But don't worry about it now, those comrades I had in Europe have returned, and they have invited me to go out for a reunion tomorrow night, do you two want to be together? ”
After thinking about it, Kaisha shook her head and refused the man's invitation, and said to Xiao Yuebai very seriously:
"No, it just so happens that I have something to do tomorrow and want to talk to Hexi. Go play with them, just come back early! ”
Seeing that the tone of Kaisha's voice just now beside her was a bit like his wife's advice, Xiao Yuebai smiled: "Okay, I know!" Come with me here, I'm just thinking about the future! ”
After Kaisha gently agreed, the two of them stood there quietly, as if they were waiting for each other's satellite TV, obviously neither of them said a word to anyone, but there was still a tacit understanding between the two of them.
......
The next night, the news of the unconditional surrender of Sakura Country made everyone in Eagle Sauce immerse themselves in a sea of revelry for the whole day.
Times Square is full of joyful people, some of them kissing in the street, some abandoning their politeness, and the streets on both sides are constantly blooming with colorful flowers.
However, in a bar in Brooklyn, Xiao Yuebai and members of the Roaring Commando, as well as Agent Peggy. Carter's group was silent.
For ordinary people, the battlefield is not only a meat grinder, but also a catalyst.
Anyone who has experienced a tragic life-and-death struggle will have their state of mind turned upside down.
The more veterans of a hundred battles, the more so.
Over time, they were finally tempered into a heart as tough as steel in an environment where either you die or I live for a long time.
But after all, people are not machines, and no matter how resolute they are, they also need to vent after all.
And wine, sex, and money are the best means to vent, but today's small gathering is because Peggy is present, so even though there are many scantily clad girls in the bar.
But the former comrades-in-arms still maintained this restraint, quietly in the corner of this bar, drinking beer and talking about the magnificent life after each other's separation.
And as the only woman, Peggy Carter can always say some witty things in the spit at the right time, pushing the already joyful atmosphere to a higher level.
However, compared with talking and bragging, Peggy, as a woman, is still more concerned about everyone's future days.
So seeing that it was almost time, Peggy took a sip of beer, and then first glanced at Xiao Yuebai and Stark before saying:
"Among our friends, Stark and Shaw are Monopoly, so they don't care!"
Then he turned his gaze to the other commandos and asked, "But now that the war is over, what are you going to do?" ”
Frenchman James twisted his head, picked up his beer glass and gestured, and then said, "I wasn't originally from Eagle Sauce, so I should be transferred back to the French army as an instructor or something!" ”
When Gabriel, a black man who had a good relationship with James, heard this, he leaked his white teeth and said to this French friend: "Hey, then when you teach those unlucky people in the future, be careful not to let them get bullets in their ass!" ”
After everyone laughed, Gabriel patted his military uniform, thought carefully and said:
"I don't know, but I think I'll be discharged from the army, and I'll get a lot of pay, and I think I should start a telephone company, or a telegraph company, or something!"
Xiao Yuebai put down his beer glass when he heard this, and said to Gabriel: "The communication industry will definitely be on fire in the future, you are very far-sighted, Jones (the surname of the black commando)." ”
After the black man who was praised by Boss Xiao made a hip-hop gesture, he smiled and high-fived Xiao Yuebai, and then returned to their respective seats to wait for the others to speak.
And at this time the Latino Jacques . Denier spread his hands and said helplessly: "I haven't thought about it so much, let's take a step and see a step!" ”
Hearing this, Stark suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Jacques, if you don't have a place to go, you can contact me, maybe I can find you a position in my company!" ”
Xiao Yuebai poked Stark very funny at this time, and then said in surprise: "Hey, brother." Why did you rob me of what I was about to say! ”
The bearded Timothy looked at the picture of the two big bosses snatching people and laughed, then took a sip of beer and said:
"I'm simpler, the military has given me news that they plan to keep me in the army! At the same time, I am still working in SSR, so I have to live like this! ”
And in the end, in the eyes of everyone, the Asian Jimmy. Morita pondered for a long time before saying, "After the battle, maybe my hometown won't be in chaos." So I'm going to go back to my hometown, the mountain town! ”
"Mountain City?" Xiao Yuebai was stunned when he heard this, and after hearing this name that he hadn't heard for a long time, Xiao Yuebai asked, "Jimmy, are you from Huaxia?" ”
Xiao Yuebai's last sentence was said in Chinese, and Jimmy, after being taken aback for a while, also replied in Chinese: "Didn't I tell you?" ”
The sudden encounter with his hometown made Boss Xiao suddenly very surprised, he reached out and shook Jimmy's hand: "Blame me too, they are all people of the same color, and they haven't asked!" Chinese name: Xiao Yuebai! ”
"Liu Yesheng!" After letting go of Xiao Yuebai's hand, the two looked at each other and smiled.
But at this time, Gabriel suddenly said loudly, "Hey, two guys. Don't ignore us just because you meet your compatriots, can you speak English? ”
The two hurriedly made an apologetic gesture to everyone, and Xiao Yuebai immediately changed back to English and said to everyone:
"I'm sorry, I'm so excited to meet my compatriots in another country, but we're all good friends, and it doesn't matter if we have this nationality or bloodline, do you?"
Boss Xiao's speech successfully alleviated the embarrassment among everyone, and then made a fuss again, but they didn't forget it.
Now that everyone has told where they were after the war, only one lady, Peggy, has not yet told everyone.
Under everyone's attention, Peggy shrugged her shoulders, and then looked at everyone: "Anyway, you all went out from here, it's okay to tell you, I'll stay in SSR, you can come back and see me at any time!" ”
As they knew each other's final destination, everyone seemed to drop the stone hanging in their hearts to the ground and plunged into the carnival again.
It wasn't until it was late that everyone silently toasted the "sacrificed" Steve and Bucky with a glass of wine and took their respective leaves.
Before Xiao Yuebai left, he deliberately found Liu Yesheng and told him that he hoped he could do him a favor, and what to do specifically was to hope that he could come to his mansion tomorrow, and say it to his face when the time came.
