Chapter 84 Netherlands
After the boat capsizing incident that day, He Chi was almost dragged directly into the sea by the people around him.
Having no choice but to use gold coins to upgrade his swimming skills to V3, He Chi reluctantly dragged the people behind him to the surface. In the dark night, the two people drifted along the sea currents to the north of Dunkirk. I don’t know how long it took for them to be caught. The water pushed back to the shore.
When he arrived at the beach, he discovered that what had been hanging on his body was the Major General Montgomery, the future desert jerboa.
The major general picked up a piece of bird meat and ate it happily. He Chi could never imagine that this man would snatch a piece of meat from the mouth of the "Desert Fox" in the future.
According to the historical trajectory, the beret general should have returned to England on a warship yesterday. He Chi was very curious about which butterfly's wings flapped him to his side.
"He, what's your military rank?" the major general asked casually, giving half of the bird meat to the Easterner.
"I am a volunteer and have no military rank." He Chi answered truthfully.
“Not a soldier? So where does this come from?” Montgomery pointed to the Order of the British Empire on his undershirt.
"I killed two German planes, and then the Prime Minister sent me this." He Chi told the truth.
"Ha, it's really amazing, but next time you'd better say it was awarded to you by the king. It will make it more real." The major general patted his thigh and laughed, grinning in pain when he accidentally touched the wound.
"Well, actually I was a sergeant some time ago, but in the French army." He Chi changed his explanation.
"Okay, sergeant, I will recruit you as the temporary head of the British Expeditionary Force, and you are now my adjutant." Montgomery did it on his own without consulting He Chi at all. Decide.
"Your British Expeditionary Force will soon become the commander-in-chief." He Chi complained in his heart.
However, when he looked at this old British man who looked embarrassed and put on airs, he was actually a little impressed. After all, he was a celebrity who had made a mark in history, and he still maintained such a high spirit even in such a bad situation. mental state.
"Okay, my adjutant, do you have any good suggestions for the next battle plan?" The major general put himself in the position of commander and began to perform his duties.
"Uh, okay, Your Excellency, I think we should at least figure out where we are." He Chi reluctantly took up the topic of "adjutant".
"Well, it's a very pragmatic idea." The major general nodded. "We should be drifting towards northern France. There is a high possibility that this is Belgium. Tomorrow we will go further and see if we can find a residential area." Just check it and you'll know, and you can get some necessities by the way. ."
"I have no problem, Your Excellency." He Chi nodded, this situation is really not suitable for the two of them
"Okay, now I need to rest and start taking action tomorrow." The major general adjusted his clothes, leaned against the stone and closed his eyes.
That night, Montgomery developed a fever.
The risks caused by being immersed in seawater for a long time with injuries cannot be resolved with random herbs. The major general had a severe fever and was already semi-conscious when he was found. He is now very dangerous.
After much thought, He Chi decided to take the risk and take him away, otherwise leaving him here would be equivalent to slow death.
With the major general on his back, He Chi walked across the coast and walked through a forest for about 4 hours. A small camp appeared in front of him, and a German half-track vehicle was parked at the exit - This is enemy-occupied territory.
This is normal. Now the area in northern France belongs to the Germans, and in half a month the whole of France will also belong to them.
The two copper coins disappeared, and the projection of the entire camp appeared in He Chi's right eye.
There were not many red signs representing the Germans. It looked like there was less than one battalion. He Chi hid the general in a bush and then climbed down to help him.
He will wait until dark.
As night fell, He Chi slipped out of the camp with two German military uniforms in his arms. Then he put the unconscious Montgomery into an SS captain's military uniform, and he put on a soldier's uniform. military uniform.
In order to prevent being discovered, He Chi carried the major general on his back and drove through the middle of the night, and finally broke into a local town at midnight.
"I am SS Sergeant Reinhardt! The person in charge here will come out immediately!" He Chizhan raised his collar in the dim light at the entrance of the village and shouted with a casually made-up name.
A burst of barking came from the town, and then the lights in a room turned on. An old man in his 60s came out with a few people, and came to the opposite side of He Chi cautiously. "My commander is injured! I need to find a place to rest. I want you to provide me with a clean room!" He Chi tried not to show his face and shouted in German.
People shook their heads, no one understood.
He Chi said it again in French, still shaking his head.
? ? ?
No, French should be very popular in Belgium. Are there such big differences in regional accents?
At this time, the leading old man said cautiously in English, "Sir, is there anything we can do for you?"
At this time, He Chi glanced at the huge windmill next to the town and suddenly understood Well, they were not in Belgium, but had drifted a long way to the Netherlands.
At night, after occupying the best house in the town, He Chi carried the major general to the second floor and also took away a lot of things, including food, alcohol, medical equipment, and simple medicines, all of which he They were forcibly taken from the townspeople as occupying troops.
Before leaving, he could still see the angry looks in the eyes of the townspeople.
He Chi let out a long breath after closing the door. Fortunately, it was dark. At the same time, the townspeople were obviously afraid of the Germans. No one dared to look at his face, otherwise the secret would be exposed.
The Netherlands was an ally of the British a month ago, but now this place is an occupied area. It is difficult to determine the attitude of the locals towards the British, so He Chi simply pretended to be a German army and stole some supplies and rest from the town. place.
At least he confirmed that these townspeople are afraid of him now, and sometimes fear is a convenient emotion.
As for whether he will be recognized at dawn, we will decide after tonight.
At night, the major general was given potions and physically cooled down. Montgomery's condition seemed much more stable.
He Chi simply ate something and rested on the small bed in the room to regain his strength. A slight snore came from the room.
In the darkness, a few small shadows got into the house, opened the door quietly, and quietly walked into He Chi's bedside. The small figures raised the stick in their hands...
The black eyes suddenly opened, and a hand caught the intruder's neck.
Boom! Boom!
The people behind wanted to help, but He Chi kicked him to the ground!
Click, the pistol was pointed at several intruders, and He Chi was still holding one in his hand.
The lights turned on, and He Chi saw clearly the person in her hand - it was a "tomboy" with short black hair. At this moment, she was constantly struggling to pull away the big hand on her throat.
"We surrender! Let Aida go!" Others in the room threw away the things in their hands and raised their hands.
It was just a group of half-grown children, and He Chi could probably guess why they attacked him.
He Chi let go of the "tomboy" with his hands slightly relieved. She coughed loudly as soon as she was free.
“Are you their leader?” He Chi raised the pistol in his hand.
"It's none of their business, it's my own idea!" The tomboy opened his hands to protect the others behind him, quite daringly.
"What's your name?" He Chi asked, looking at the thin man in front of him.
"Ada! Ada Zinstra!" The other party raised his chin provocatively.
"Who?!" He Chi's eyes widened when he heard the name.
