Chapter Twenty-Seven: Return to England
Once again, back on the streets of London, Alex had calmed down his excitement, turned his head to look around, and looked in the direction towards the Royal Air Force airfield. London, Alex is not familiar with it, he doesn't know any place at all, the only thing he is familiar with is the Royal Air Force airport where the plane landed.
A few steps away, Alex walked near the airport, and two British soldiers immediately walked up, with a wary face: "Military land, idlers are not allowed to enter!" ”
&Okay, I'm Alex >
Before Alex finished speaking, the two British soldiers raised their guns, pointed their guns at Alex with black holes, and shouted with a serious expression, "Leave immediately, or you will be killed!" ”
Alex looked at the two British soldiers, angry, but helpless, raised his hands and slowly retreated: "OK, OK, I'll go, I'll leave immediately!" ”
It took a dozen steps back before the two British soldiers put down their guns, but they did not let their guard down, and looked at Alex's face with vigilance.
After retreating a hundred meters, Alex turned around, looked around and walked in one direction randomly, and kept muttering in his heart: "Are you going to find Churchill?" Or the British Crown? ”
After a while, Alex walked into the city of London, and the heavy moisture fell on his body, and in a short time it condensed into a drop of water on his leather coat, and then slid to the ground, making a splash.
As he was walking, he suddenly ran by a newsboy, holding a stack of newspapers in his hand, and shouted loudly as he ran: "The greatest fugitive regiment in history has landed in London today, and Churchill has come to London Harbour to greet him!" ”
Alex was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted, this "greatest fugitive group in history" should be Audrey and them, but why are they only in London now?
Filled with doubts, Alex followed the crowd towards the port of London.
In the distance, Alex saw more than a dozen large ships docked on the Thames, full of people standing on both sides of the boats, and the dock was even more crowded, and hundreds of policemen were struggling to maintain order at the scene.
Alex had a sharp eye and soon saw Neil Grant on the bow of the first ship, who looked heroic in a Finnish military uniform. Alex chuckled, and telepathic transmission appeared next to Neil, who was waving to the crowd on the shore: "Hi Neil, long time no see!" ”
Neil Grant was startled, looked at Alex who suddenly appeared in front of him, seemed to can't believe his eyes, and was stunned for a long time before shouting with a look of surprise: "Alex, you are still alive!" With Finnish finished, Neil repeated it in broken English.
&It's not that easy to kill me. Alex chuckled, surprised, "Yo, you still learned English?" ”
& After fighting with the Allied forces, you always have to learn some English. "Neil's English has a typical Scandinavian accent that sounds very different.
Alex nodded, turned his head to look around, and asked in some surprise, "What about Toby?" Why didn't you see him? ”
Neil's face froze, and he asked cautiously, "You don't know?" Neil had thought Alex had survived because of Toby, but now it doesn't seem to be.
Alex frowned, a little puzzled: "What do you know?" ”
Neil sighed and told what happened on the Patts River at that time, and finally looked at Alex with a guilty face and said: "Alex, I'm sorry, for the lives of 70,000 people, I can only ......"
& I wish you did! Alex shook his head to show that he didn't care at all, and then smiled bitterly, "It's just that Toby and them are tired." "Toby and they fell into the hands of the Hydra, and they died ten times without life.
Just as the two of them sighed, Audrey suddenly ran out of the cabin with an anxious look on her face. When she saw Alex standing at the bow of the boat, Audrey slowed down, then accelerated and rushed over, and plunged into Alex's arms: "Brother, you're finally back!" ”
Alex stroked Audrey's hair and turned to look at Neil.
& Lie to her and say you go run some errands and you'll be back soon! Neil explained quietly, the expression on his face very painful, "These days, she has to ask several times a day, and I have a headache to death. ”
Alex bowed slightly, smiled and thanked him, "Thank you, Neil!" ”
Alex comforted Audrey as he looked at Neil and asked in surprise, "By the way, why are you only in London now?" ”
Neil shook his head and said helplessly: "The Nazis are blockading the North Sea, and we are coming back from the Atlantic. ”
Moments later, the boat docked, and Neil went down first, Alex led Audrey behind, followed by a boatload of people.
& Neil Grant, the Blue Defense Army, have met the Prime Minister! Neil Grant stood up straight and gave a military salute in a loud voice.
Churchill was wearing a thick wool trench coat, and his figure was slightly rickety, but at this moment he also straightened his body, returned a military salute, and said confidently: "The Allies welcome you to join, and we will drive out the Nazis, definitely." With that, Churchill turned his head to look behind Neil and asked with some confusion, "I wonder which one is Alex?" ”
Alex stood behind Neil, carefully looking at the great man in history, a very ordinary old man, but a spirit can give people great strength, especially the confidence that comes from the bones, which can always make people feel at ease.
Hearing Churchill's words, Alex stepped forward and walked out with a humble smile on his face: "Alex has seen Mr. Churchill. ”
Churchill obviously did not expect that the person who completed this "great escape" was a young man in his twenties, and he was slightly stunned before he came back to his senses, grabbed Alex's hand tightly, and said with a loud smile: "With such a young hero, why don't the Nazis get rid of it!" ”
& Mr. Jill is false! ”
After a simple but very grand welcome ceremony, Alex was invited by Churchill to dinner at the Prime Minister's Residence, a dinner that Alex remembered.
When Alex left the Prime Minister's Mansion and returned to Churchill's specially arranged apartment, Audrey couldn't wait to gather around and asked curiously, "Is the dinner at the Prime Minister's Mansion delicious?" ”
Alex looked depressed and complained exaggeratedly, "I swear, I'll never eat English food again, it's so unpalatable!" ”
& I think it's okay! Audrey tilted her head, a little surprised.
& Back in New York, I treat you to real food! "After eating an English dinner, Alex even immediately wanted to go back to Chinatown, compared to Uncle An's cooking, British food is shit!
>> Alex, come and try on clothes, I made them for you. As she spoke, Ella walked out of the room with a set of clothes, "Tomorrow is the day of the award, you have to dress nicely." ”
Alex obediently changed his clothes, stretched his hands and legs, spun around again, and said with satisfaction: "It fits perfectly, thank you, ma'am!" ”
Audrey had just disappeared for a while, and this time she would come back, with an extra bow tie on her hand: "Brother, take this!" ”
Alex put on his bow tie, looked in front of the mirror, and said a little narcissistically, "Audrey, do you think my brother is handsome?" ”
Audrey was very face-saving, and she raised her head and said with admiration: "My brother is the most handsome!" ”
After the award, Alex refused the invitation to a banquet for the British royal family and British dignitaries, and fled with Audrey and Ella from England and boarded a ship bound for New York.
Germany is carrying out a frenzied bombing of the British, and taking a plane is completely looking for death, and Alex can only choose to take a boat, which is relatively safer.
