Chapter 1223: The Argument of Calis
“‘Asshole’……?
Mr._Carllis,you,a_so_called_‘genius’,how_would_you_call_your_teammates_like_that? ("'Idiot'......?") Mr. Calis, how can you, a so-called 'genius', call your teammates like that? ”)
used to wander alone with her boyfriend, Sara Lopez didn't have a good impression of this white-robed Arab prince, but now when she heard him speak disrespectfully, her brows were furrowed for a while, and her rhetorical words rushed out; In the face of the woman's questioning, the lieutenant colonel was a little surprised for a while, staring at the beautiful girl's iconic face for several seconds, before he woke up and looked at Li Gejian, with a little annoyance in his tone:
"Mr. Li, when the two of us men are talking about things, a decent girl, maybe she shouldn't be reckless and interject, right?"
"Sara, don't get excited, I'll be done in a moment."
Li Gejian, who came from a secular country, naturally disagreed with Ben Calis's protest, but now after all, it was on the land of the Saudi Kingdom, he was noncommittal, just nodded lightly to his girlfriend, and then re-met the lieutenant colonel's gaze, raised his hand and made a gesture of "sorry, please continue".
Seeing that Li Gejian is neither humble nor arrogant, speaking of which, the argument of asking a foreign woman to abide by all the rules of her country in public is not completely tenable, Ben Calis did not bother with Sara Lopez's intervention anymore, he subconsciously moved a step or two to the side. On the other hand, he showed a very embarrassed look; That's it. It seems that I remembered some unpleasant past. I don't want to say it, but I think it's better to say it.
In this way, seeing a man and a woman looking at him in front of him, Lieutenant Colonel Calis looked at Sara twice, and what he said made Li Gejian understand the real reason why this Saudi prince, who seemed to be a little arrogant, wanted to stop talking. I don't want to lose face in front of a woman:
"There is another reason, Mr. Li, you are Chinese, right?
A few months ago, I went to China to play a few friendly matches, and I lost and won. But whether I won or lost, I wasn't in a good mood because I had a strong opponent and it made me realize...... Mr. Li, is that person the same as you? I'm a little curious about which of you is stronger. ”
"Oh. Is it? ”
Listening to Lieutenant Colonel Calis talk about this, Li Gejian was not only puzzled, but also a little curious, he wanted to ask Calis about the specific situation at that time, but after thinking about it, he still asked in a different way:
"Who is the player you're talking about?"
"Of course, I've always ...... Remember that name; Because it's so impressive, the player's name is ...... 'Long Yun'. ”
"Oh!"
Hearing such a familiar name from Calis's mouth, Li Gejian suddenly realized "oh", he immediately understood where the depression of the Saudi prince in front of him came from, and was about to pat him on the shoulder and say two words of sympathy, but Sarah Lopez next to him was a little impatient, raised his head and urged:
"Look, Lee!
The time is almost up, and now we should leave. ”
"Oh, look, look!
Am I offended you, this girl, and must be so anxious to persuade Mr._ Li to leave? ”
Lieutenant Colonel Ben Calis, who had just been upset by Sarah Lopez's interjection, had now changed his temper, and he quickly came out of the shadow of the aftertaste of defeat, and his face regained some of his usual confidence, and he spoke to Sara a little slowly:
"Ah, let me think about it; You may not be used to our rules, girl, right?
If that's the case, then, IMHO:
You don't need to express anger and resentment at all, in a word, leaving our land is not enough. ”
“……!”
"Oh, don't be angry, Mr. Li, you too.
My words may not sound good at all, but if I had to say, so do my compatriots who rely in Germany, France, or other Western countries; 'Respect for the customs of the locals' is a minimum of upbringing, so if I have the right to decide this qiē, then those fellows should not make trouble on European soil, but should hurry back to their hometowns, otherwise it will be just - shame, right?
My words are all the same, the same, this girl, what do you think? ”
The two young men felt for a moment that there was some truth in the suppression and then promotion of Lieutenant Colonel Calis, or rather a generous statement that was straightforward and open-minded.
But even so, Li Gejian knows his girlfriend's character very well, even if he thinks that what the prince said is reasonable, he will not put down the stubble at once, he took a step forward, reached out and shook Ben Calis, and the two leaned together and patted their shoulders by the way.
"It's almost here, Mr. Calis!
In my opinion, let's celebrate this hard-won peace that we have fought side by side. ”
"Aha, well said!
Please, you two, I should go to the boring and boring front desk of the venue. ”
……
As the night darkens and turns into the middle of the night, a bustling celebration is coming to an end.
Although there were still guests lingering in the Medina Palace, it was not early to take a look, Li Gejian still said goodbye to a few friends he knew, he looked around the event site a few times, and saw that the ALSA comrades who came with him had retired, so he took Sara to the palace gate to prepare to take a taxi, and a waiter who came in a hurry asked the two to wait, saying that the special car arranged by the Saudi authorities would arrive soon and would send the two back to their residences.
Thinking of Ben Calis's invitation just now, Li Gejian thought a little more, he asked the waiter, and made sure that this was the arrangement of the party organizer, and the colleagues who had left before were treated the same, so he waited in place with his girlfriend, and left in a shiny silver-white Rolls_Royce "Phantom".
Along the way, the driver remained silent, and quite cleverly closed the shield between the front and rear rows, providing a relatively private space for the two.
Just wandering around at the party, the two young people are a little tired, although Li Gejian wants to talk to his girlfriend about what he saw and heard at the event just now, and he thinks that there may not be any bugging devices in the car, as far as Sara Lopez's straightforward temperament is concerned, maybe he will lash out at many phenomena here, and the two can say anything between them, but it is not polite for the Saudis to hear it.
Having said that, when he heard his girlfriend's question, he was just as blunt:
"Sarah, you don't have to worry, I'm not interested in the Saudi invitation today."
"Oh? I'm relieved to say this, but, Li, personal opinion aside, I think aviation is a good choice, of course not in Saudi Arabia, remember you said before, you used to be an aviation athlete, and your results in China are quite good? ”
Unlike the previous Chinese training, once it comes to important matters, Sara turns to English, otherwise intermittently and not knowing if she can understand the words, the short-tempered girl will be irritable.
Li Gejian didn't answer his girlfriend's question directly, but just tilted his head to look out the window at the night view of Riyadh, and nodded to Sara Lopez, which was confirmed.
"Yes, Sarah.
But now, I still have ...... More important things to do. ”
After night, after midnight, a ray of morning light appeared from the sky in the east of the Eurasian continent in the distance.
At 6:40 a.m. Beijing time, the winter morning sun had not completely jumped out of the horizon, and it was gradually waking up to start a busy day in the metropolis of Shanghai, the aviation training center in the far suburbs, and in the empty base where there was hardly a single figure, the flight preparation room of the "Suzaku" team had already opened.
Also arriving early in the morning, the pilots were already busy in the tall, spacious, brightly lit hangar.
After the end of the holiday during the Spring Festival, the fighter planes that have been dormant at the training base are about to take to the air again, and the "Suzaku," which has won three consecutive victories in the semi-finals and entered the national selection competition, will also embark on a new journey under the leadership of the veteran team members, and will control the F-14D "Tomcat," whose comprehensive performance is no longer advanced in the new century, and strive for its place in the national selection competition.
Gao Meiyu, who got up early in the morning and met with his teammates in the team office, who was not yet completely accustomed to life in a peaceful world, and whose hair was a little unkempt and wearing a long coat, was sitting at the long table, listening to the vice captain's speech with the two team players, and learning about the team's arrangements after the Spring Festival.
Sitting at the table listening to the lecture, with his spine resting on the back of the chair, Gao Meiyu, who was relaxed and relaxed, could feel the gaze of his teammates, and he was used to it.
Returning from the battlefield in the Middle East, the baptism of blood and fire in that sky left a mark on the young man.
Even if after returning to China, walking on the streets and alleys will not be noticed by others, the teammates of "Suzaku" can vaguely feel that for these young people who also deal with fighter planes but have not really set foot on the battlefield, their intuition is sharper than that of ordinary people, and the breath of the senior team members makes them even more convinced that the things broadcast on the news program are not only illusory in their minds, but a reality that happens on the other side of the mainland.
In peacetime, pilots who have participated in real air battles and even shot down fighter planes are veritable elites in the military.
So for Gao Meiyu, since she has returned from the war-torn Middle East battlefield, she must also belong to the "master of masters" in the field of aviation competition, is that so?
During the short holiday after the Spring Festival, like other teams stationed at the Shanghai Aviation Training Center, the members of "Suzaku" went home early for the New Year, and there were not many people in the team office at this time; The anticipation of the young team members, Gao Meiyu, who was watching and meditating on the chair, seemed to be aware, but he was still as silent as always, and he seemed to be restrained, but in fact, because of his inner discomfort, he had not yet gotten rid of the state of war.
