Chapter 54
On a leisurely afternoon, under the shade of the orchard of a gorgeous manor, the white dining cloth on the dining table flew slightly in the gentle breeze. Apart from the orderly standing far away, there was no one else here.
Even there was no sound of rumbling cannons on the front line of the Somme River. If it weren't for Xia Fei and Douglas Heg, they were all wearing military uniforms, and if it weren't for the gaze of the two orderly soldiers not far away, it would be a completely pleasant afternoon party.
At the table in the restaurant after a sumptuous meal, Douglas Heg sucked the black tea in his cup, and his eyes looked at Tang Yunyang who came to the Somme Alliance Headquarters from time to time.
"He just lost his biggest business, but why doesn't he seem to have no unhappy reaction? Moreover, today I didn't go straight to the topic as usual and just talked about gossip. I might be very interesting to watch today's scene!"
When Xia Fei received Tang Yunyang, he was as enthusiastic as usual. Even when the war was busy, he left behind countless military affairs and had a rich meal with Tang Yunyang.
"General, your red wine is really good. If possible, can you give me a few bottles?"
"Of course, I will do it. It's my honor to be liked by Mr. Tang!"
Tang Yunyang, who had a very smile on his face, grabbed the napkin and smeared it on his mouth.
"General, although your wine is very delicious, you know I am not so addicted to alcohol. I prepared these wines for Lieutenant Colonel Miller, you know..."
Speaking of Xia Fei's former adjutant in the hunter regiment of the French First Assault Cavalry Division, now Lieutenant Colonel Miller, Xia Fei always feels a strong feeling of regret. He lit up the head of Santa Claus and stroked his walrus-like beard with sorrow.
"Yes, yes, what a pity! His future was very good, but... it was a sad misfortune!"
Tang Yunyang nodded, his face also with a look of regret. Although Major Miller was promoted to lieutenant colonel because of his military achievements during the Battle of Nancy City, what could a lieutenant colonel who lost his legs and could only sit in a wheelchair during World War I do?
"Yes, it's really heartbreaking that the future of a young and promising officer was destroyed like this. So, I plan to invite Lieutenant Colonel Miller to travel to Southeast Asia and China, and the good wine I asked you for is intended to give him. You know, our Chinese wine has a considerable farewell to French red wine, and I'm worried that Lieutenant Colonel Miller won't be used to drinking it!"
Xia Fei was not surprised by the news. Miller, who had always regarded him as his father, had already written to him and told him everything. At the same time, he explained his thoughts.
"...Dear General, you may be surprised, why I gave up the position of staff you prepared for me. To be honest, giving up your kindness makes me very sad. Dear General, I ask you to forgive my cowardice in my feelings. I cannot tolerate myself staying in the army as a useless person, so..."
After thinking about it, Lieutenant Colonel Miller accepted Tang Yunyang's kindness and he would go to China as a representative of the MMP Military Industry Group. For the time being, he did not have more work to do, and he just replaced Li Zhicheng as the supervisor there in Shanghai. Before that, he would recuperate in Batavia for a period of time to restore his exhausted body and mind in the war.
In fact, through the contents of the previous chapter, everyone understands that it is too a pity to put a top student at the French Saint-Silles Military Academy who has experience in armored cluster combat.
"Yes, yes, the war has ruined many promising young people. This is something that people can't get used to!"
Douglas Hag picked up his teacup and lit it at the few people. He decided to act as the "bad boy" today and put that thing on the table.
"Mr. Tang, please believe that the reason I purchased the tanks produced in Britain this time was entirely due to the war's needs. You know, soon, we will launch a large-scale attack, so..."
Xia Fei was somewhat unhappy with Douglas and Hegel's scattering of the people, although he had been thinking about how to make Tang Yunyang accept this reality. He wanted to make him understand that this is not the United States, but the rules of the game are here. As a politician, sometimes, he had to take care of the interests of others.
However, Tang Yunyang enjoys the comfort of the rich fragrance of the cigar and the warm air, bathing in the real sunshine is a comfortable thing.
"Oh, Mr. Jazz, this is nothing that deserves our attention. You know, I have always been too focused on my work. So, this time I came out to accompany our Miss Marian to relax!"
"He said insincerely, and anyone can tell that. It seems that he is a little angry when he loses this business this time!"
Tang Yunyang felt artificial and comfortable in seeing the two of them, and there were two completely different feelings.
"Yes, we have been living in a busy life, and I am really a little bored! Fortunately, the boss is willing to accompany me to relax! Mr. Jazz, if possible, I really want to go to England for a walk. I think the Royal Navy ship is probably about to be assembled and straightened!"
"It is our honor to have a beautiful and charming French girl like you go for a walk in the UK. Miss Marianne I promise you will see the hospitality of our British people. As for those ships, I really don't know much. You know I'm an army officer, but I heard that they have made considerable progress!"
(The first release of this book 17k) Bullshit a group: 35761481; Email: Douglas Heg knew that the protagonist of the conversation today should not be herself and Marianne. Therefore, she only responded to her "care".
"Is that so, I really want to see it! Mr. Jazz, please forgive my curiosity. If possible, can you tell me the Royal Navy's evaluation of our company's products?"
Tang Yunyang looked very caring for Marian, so when Douglas Heg finished speaking, he seemed to ask casually.
"Oh, that's nothing! According to Admiral John Jelico, the commander of the Royal Navy, this is a warship that suits the needs of war but is fundamentally different from the development goals of the Royal Navy!"
Hearing such comments, Tang Yunyang giggled without any mind.
