While being moved, Linette couldn't help but get tired of being with Li Sanpao again.
After kissing until her mouth was swollen twice, Lynette buried her head in her lover's arms and asked softly: "My dear, since you decided to marry me, why don't you take me back to China?"
Li Sanpao frowned and thought for a long time, "Of course I have to go back. After all, my parents are still in China.
But now my hometown is still in war, and it is too dangerous to go back and settle there now.
Our group once said that after the war, he took people to Ryukyu to settle there.
He has already made an agreement with the US government. Once the Japanese are defeated, the US government will allocate a land of more than 200 square kilometers to us.
When the time comes, anyone who is willing to settle in Ryukyu with him can go with him. Our whole family has already discussed it, and in the future, if our whole family is needed, we can go there together as a family group."
Linette asked in confusion: "Why do you and your family insist on following your leader to leave your hometown and settle in the distant Ryukyus?"
Li Sanpao smiled innocently and scratched the back of his head: "Maybe I'm used to it.
Ever since my great-grandfather’s generation, our family has been a tenant of the Tuanzuo family and has always relied on renting the land from the Gao family to make a living.
And the Gao family treated their tenants relatively well. In previous years, when there were natural or man-made disasters, the Gao family would open a soup kitchen to reduce or reduce the tenant rent. If someone got a wife, the Gao family would send people to send congratulatory gifts.
Therefore, the reputation of the Gao family is well-known in Shanxi.
Otherwise, Mr. Gao was beaten to death by the Japanese when he went to the countryside to collect rent three years ago. The eldest young master of the Gao family... that is, the current group leader came back and recruited people to form the Liantai Militia Group. There would not be so many people signing up to participate.
.”
"Oh I see."
Linette nodded, "So, the Gao family you are talking about is a farmer, and many of you used to be their servants."
"Well……"
Li Sanpao didn't know how to answer for a while. It was obvious that Linette was interpreting Li Sanpao's words with what she understood.
Although it's not entirely accurate, the general meaning is pretty good.
Their group is not the largest landowner in Liantai County. Thousands of acres of fertile land are not given to the family for free. I don’t know how many tenants depend on the Gao family for their livelihood.
After a pause, Li Sanpao asked again: "Linette, what do you mean? Are you willing to return to the United States or settle in Ryukyu?"
Linette said without hesitation: "Compared to China, I would rather live in a place close to the sea, because that has been my dream since I was a child."
"Okay, let's go to Ryukyu and settle down." Li Sanpao readily agreed.
Young people's romance is always so straightforward, and the two of them quickly decided on their future path.
Just as the young couple were kissing me, a Willys Jeep drove over not far away, and a second lieutenant shouted in the car: "Li Sanpao, I knew your little girl was filming again."
Mother-in-law.
There is an order to attend the meeting, and everyone in the camp must go back to the meeting, and there must be no mistakes!"
"Meeting?"
Li Sanpao was stunned for a while, "Platoon leader, you are just holding your meeting. What does this have to do with me, a little sergeant?"
"It doesn't matter." The second lieutenant glared at him angrily, "The brother who will replace us has arrived, and we are going home!
Are you handing out medals to the meritorious personnel of our battalion?"
"A medal?"
Li Sanpao jumped up quickly and pulled Linnet up.
"Linette, our commander is going to give us medals. I have to go back quickly."
"A medal?" Linette was very happy for Li Sanpao when she heard this.
The medal represents the honor of a soldier. Li Sanpao was of course happy for her lover to receive the medal.
"My dear, I want to share this honor with you." Linette held his hand happily.
For Americans, it is a tradition for the family members of award-winning servicemen to attend the award ceremony together. This behavior is also highly encouraged by military senior officials to increase the cohesion of military personnel.
Naturally, Li Sanpao had no objections to Linette's decision.
The three returned to the camp headquarters and saw a large group of soldiers busy packing their luggage. On the other side of the camp, a large group of soldiers wearing brand-new military uniforms looked at them curiously.
Although the two groups of people wore exactly the same military uniforms, Lynette could tell the difference between the two at a glance.
She leaned into Li Sanpao's ear and said, "Dear, are those people here to replace you? They all look like a bunch of rookies."
Li Sanpao touched his nose and said helplessly: "Linette, you have to know that the situation in our country is not easy now.
I heard that the Japanese have launched a new round of attack on my hometown, with more than 300,000 people involved.
It is said that the fighting was very fierce, and there is an urgent need for experienced troops to return to participate in the battle. It is already good to be able to send a rookie infantry battalion to replace us now."
"What?"
Linette was shocked. In her opinion, the Battle of Guadalcanal, with 100,000 people participating on both sides, was already a very big battle. Now her lover actually told her that the Battle of Guadalcanal was going on in his hometown.
A large-scale battle involving more than 300,000 people.
This is too dangerous.
She took Li Sanpao's hand and said, "My dear, it seems you were right not to go back. It would be better for us to stay on the island and beat up the little Japanese.
Although the jungle here is very annoying, we have the support of warships and aircraft, which is much better than returning to your hometown."
Li Sanpao wanted to tell her that in his hometown, the sky no longer belonged to the Japanese.
After several years of accumulation, the Liantai Militia has developed into a huge air force with more than 400 aircraft of various types. It is only wishful thinking for the Japanese to take advantage of the Liantai Flying Corps.
"Li Sanpao!"
A voice rang in their ears. They turned around and saw a colonel in a straight German 36-style army uniform standing in front of them.
"Hello, sir!" Li Sanpao quickly stood at attention and saluted.
Chi Yaohui looked at the experienced Li Sanpao and Linette standing next to him and asked with a smile: "Is this your girlfriend?"
"Yes, sir."
Li Sanpao was ashamed and proud at the same time.
Looking at the entire Liantai militia group, she should be the first one to start talking about marriage with a foreign girl, right?
"Not bad, a heroine." Chi Yaohui looked at Linette and nodded with satisfaction.
Lynette smiled brightly: "Thank you, Mr. Colonel, since you said so, I won't be polite.
And I also need your help with something."
"Oh...what's the matter?" Chi Yaohui asked in surprise.
"I want to join your medical team, is it possible?"
