In the next few days, Josie and Lyndon never saw Angela return to the resident hotel.
Later, based on the information obtained by their subordinates, Josie and Lyndon learned that Colonel Kennedy had specially built a house in the West End of London to house Angela.
During World War II, when U.S. troops were stationed in the United Kingdom, the West End of London was completely reduced to a fun area for U.S. troops.
The soldiers' areas are mainly Hyde Park and Piccadilly Circus. At night, every corner of these places is filled with the smell of heather, and every morning the cleaners here clean off the framed hard hats.
That's right...these guys can't even be bothered to find a normal place.
How else did the 1.8 million lives come about?
However, high-ranking military officers like Kennedy definitely disdain the people living in those places. What they like to go to are those high-end apartments.
There were a large number of ladies wearing high-end fur coats waiting for them.
Many senior US military officers even live in high-end apartments owned by widows or even non-widows, openly pretending to be their masters, and only return to the military camp during the day.
Kennedy was a colonel of Hainan Airlines, a high-ranking military officer. It was a trivial matter to find a place for Angela to live in.
But for Linden, it was purely humiliating.
However, Lyndon is not a young man who easily gets angry, but a proper veteran who has been in the gray area since World War I.
It is very clear that in this special period, it is a mindless operation to confront a senior military official who holds real power.
Not to mention he is a person who walks in a gray area. Even if his boss, Josie, is a quasi-tycoon in the United States, it is difficult for him to directly ask for help from him in the UK.
So he didn't need to be persuaded by Qiao Xi. He just pretended that nothing happened and focused on his work, helping Qiao Xi contact local snakes in London and selling those high-end goods.
But both he and Josie knew that this matter would not end so easily.
It's just that they didn't expect that just because they didn't find trouble for each other, it didn't mean that the other party wouldn't cause trouble for them. To be precise, they would cause trouble for Qiao Xi.
"Josie, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to say goodbye this time and meet again!" In the "Rainbow Club" in London's West End, Aldo and several other officers clinked glasses with Josie and then drank the entire glass of beer.
The "Rainbow Club" is a club run by the American Red Cross that specifically serves the U.S. military. It is also the base camp for the U.S. military to have fun in London.
Not only does it serve food all night long, but it also has a huge dance floor that can accommodate 1,000 couples dancing at the same time.
In the Captain America movie, this is the place where Captain America made a dance promise with Peggy Carter in his memories.
Normally, non-military personnel, especially men, cannot enter here. Only women can enter here at the invitation of US soldiers.
But Josie's situation is a little different. One is that he is an American and is a member of the labor force, which is considered half a military personnel. The other is that he has recently become a supplier to this club.
After all, he has a lot of good things in his hands, relying on a large amount of "hard currency" that is more valuable than US dollars and pounds. In the past nearly a month, almost the entire upper class in London and the middle and senior military officers of the US military know that
He is a powerful American tycoon.
It was also during this period that he met Aldo and several other officers whom he had met on the plane.
As for Winters, another person with better connections, he was not among them. The 101st Airborne Division was stationed far away from London, so he rarely came to London.
And today Qiao Xi is here specifically to see these officers off.
Because today is already May 28th, and there is only one week left before the famous Normandy landing (originally scheduled for June 5th, but actually June 6th).
All U.S. troops have entered their final state of combat readiness, and there are almost no ordinary U.S. soldiers on vacation on the streets.
Aldo and the others are here only because they are officers.
But until tomorrow, they won't be able to leave the military camp.
"Relax, man! The mustache on the opposite side is no longer good. Our military strength is several times theirs. You are the best. I believe you can all return triumphantly. I'm still waiting to go to Paris to celebrate for you!"
Qiao Xi also drank all the beer in the cup with dignity, then patted Aldo on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Huh, capitalists like you can only hide behind the battlefield and suck the blood of heroic soldiers." At this moment, not far behind Qiao Xi and the others, a discordant voice came.
sound.
When everyone looked around, they saw a colonel standing not far away, and standing next to him was Angela, who lowered her head and did not dare to look at Josie.
"Mr. Colonel, do we know each other?" Qiao Xi narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he had already guessed the identity of the other party, he still pretended not to know.
"Joseph Kennedy! You are Josie Kahn, right!" Colonel Kennedy said as he approached Josie and asked, but he was blocked by Aldo who felt something bad.
"What? What's your problem? Lieutenant!" Kennedy said disdainfully, looking at Aldo standing in front of him.
"Oh, I'm sorry, sir, I just want to say hello and salute you!" After saying this, Aldo did salute the other party in a decent manner, and then said, "But I support your tone,
You seem to have a problem with our Army?"
"So what? What do you think about what I said? Lieutenant!" Kennedy sneered.
The most famous conflict between the navy and the army in World War II was the chicken in the foot pot.
But in fact, similar contradictions exist in most countries, and the United States is no exception.
As a naval aviation colonel, it was normal for Kennedy to be biased against the army, not to mention that Aldo was just a lieutenant.
"Of course not, sir, our Army will never take the initiative to provoke idiots." Aldo narrowed his eyes and replied, with a particularly strong emphasis on the word "sir" in his tone.
"...Very good, it seems you are very unconvinced. I never like to use my military rank to pressure people. Listen, everyone, this has nothing to do with military rank..." Kennedy put the wine glass in his hand into Angela's hand next to him, and at the same time,
He did not forget to point his finger at the gloomy-looking Josie sitting on the seat behind Aldo.
"Joseph... don't!" Angela, who felt bad when she saw this, was a little scared.
"Don't worry, honey, what do they dare to do to me..." Before Kennedy could finish speaking with a smile, Aldo had already punched him in the face.
When Qiao Xi and other army officers saw this, their hearts suddenly sank.
Bad dish!
They didn't expect that Aldo would actually take action.
Don't look at what Kennedy said, regardless of military rank, but anyone who really takes this seriously is completely stupid.
This is not only a beating of the superior officer, but may also cause conflicts between the navy and the army.
If something like this happened on the eve of the war, Aldo, who was the first to take action, would never be able to go to court-martial.
"Hurry and hold him!" Josie shouted hurriedly.
If it was just a punch, there might be room for redemption.
But if Kennedy is really going to be defeated, no one will be able to protect Aldo.
However, there was no need for Josie to shout. The other officers also knew the seriousness of the matter and took action early to stop Aldo, who wanted to continue beating Kennedy.
"Asshole, I'm going to kill you!" Kennedy, who was punched unprepared, naturally refused to give up. He immediately wanted to turn around and teach Aldo a lesson, but as soon as he threw a punch, he was caught.
He stopped and couldn't move at all.
"Who is it?" The furious Kennedy turned around and stopped eating immediately.
Because the identity of the person who caught him is very unusual.
Although the opponent's military rank was not high, Kennedy knew that he would never be able to defeat the opponent.
Just because the other party’s title is Captain America!
