Chapter 115(2/2)
Li Xiu walked out of the airship pod!
"Second uncle!" Li Lin and Zhao Liangdong were waiting on the back deck. When they saw Li Xiu coming out, they hurriedly greeted him.
"Zhao Liangdong, a humble official, please see the commander!"
"Yeah!" Li Xiu didn't even bother to scan Zhao Liangdong, and walked straight to Li Lin.
"You boy!
I heard that you promoted Zhang Huangyan’s granddaughter’s marriage?”
"Second uncle, it's not my nephew's turn to make the decision in this matter.
My father is waiting for you inside the cabin, you follow me."
Li Lin was respectful but also had a business-like attitude.
Entering the cabin, Li Lin led the way at the front, followed by Li Xiu, and behind Li Xiu was Zhao Liangdong.
Zhao Liangdong deliberately walked two steps slowly to distance himself from Li Xiu.
"Second uncle, please speak more leisurely today. I don't know what happened. My father is not in a good mood.
I’ve been keeping a straight face for a long time!”
Seeing that he had distanced himself from the people behind him, Li Lin reminded him in a low voice.
"You kid...!
My second uncle's love for you is not in vain. If you want something when you come to Europe this time, tell your second uncle and let them get it for you."
"Second uncle, we're here! I'll be guarding outside. Please come in."
Li Lin did not answer Li Xiu's words, but opened a cabin door.
Li Xiu walked into this cabin!
This was supposed to be the captain's bedroom, but when Li Xiao arrived on the battleship, he naturally occupied this cabin with the best conditions.
Sunlight shines in from the circular porthole, and dust is flying in the middle of the light beam.
Li Xiao stood in front of his desk, staring at the map without blinking.
It's still my old habit to look at the map whenever I have time.
"big……!"
"Here you go! Sit down. There is water on the table. You can pour it yourself."
Li Xiao was still looking at the map, making gestures with a ruler from time to time.
Li Xiu did not pour water, but picked up a cigar, cut off the tail with cigar pliers, and lit it with a lighter.
Smoking a cigar, I walked up to Li Xiao and saw clearly that it was a map of the southern coast of France.
"Get me one!" Li Xiao still didn't raise his head, staring at the map without moving away.
Li Xiu took a puff of the cigar and put it directly into Li Xiao's mouth. Then he walked to the coffee table, picked up a cigar and cut off the tail with cigar pliers.
"It's so wet!" Li Xiao complained while smoking a cigar.
I finally took my eyes away from the map and walked to the sofa to sit down.
"They got nice cigars from a place called Havana.
Damn these Americans, they sell cigars for gold.
I bought two boxes, and they are really good to smoke, even better than yours.
I brought you a box this time!"
After cutting the cigar, Li Xiu also sat on the sofa and started smoking.
"Hu Niu found that young man outside, what do you think?" Li Xiao suddenly said something without thinking.
"Which one?" Li Xiu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Li Xiao's first sentence was actually asking this question.
"That one has a pretty dark face!" Li Xiao took a puff of his cigar and leaned on the sofa.
"I didn't pay attention!
Let's go out and take a closer look, being the son-in-law of our Li family is not that simple."
"You...!
I think this young man is pretty good. He is a real person. He hasn't read many books, and he doesn't have that many twists and turns in his stomach.
The third child is gone!
As uncles and uncles, we have to make clear the life-long events of our children."
"That's right!
Although the third child is gone, Huniu is still our girl after all.
I haven't seen this child in several years. The last time I saw him in Beijing, he was with Xiaoyu.
She looks like she's already over 20 now, and if she delays any longer, she will become an old girl who won't be able to get married.
I don’t dare to do anything about Xiaoyu again.”
Li Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Li Xiu. Xiaoyu's matter had always been a knot in his heart.
Now that Mr. Yu has been dead for many years, no one dares to mention this matter in front of him.
"Okay! Let's not talk about this anymore.
What happened to this battle?
More than 20 planes were shot down, and hundreds of people died.
We lost a lot of equipment, but in the end we were driven back into the sea before we could stand firm."
Li Xiao changed the topic and talked about the Battle of La Ciotat.
"Hey...! In fact, it's all caused by being anxious.
Originally, according to the plan, the troops had to be stationed on Corsica for at least half a year.
Only after Ajaccio is almost done can we continue to attack the French coast.
But isn’t the Russian side going on a whole spring offensive?
Chen Laohu and I discussed it and wanted to make some noise here to attract the attention of the French.
Originally, I thought that one division would go up and occupy a bridgehead.
Relying on the naval gun advantage, at least the defense is no problem.
But who would have thought that something went wrong in the pre-war investigation.
The wharf was originally planned to be able to accommodate small boats of 100 tons, but it could only accommodate small boats of more than ten tons.
Before the war, the French had already planned to shoot Zhu Yuan.
The artillery shells were fired in shifts, and the underground bunkers were dug by them. The French had the exact location coordinates.
The artillery bombs according to the coordinates, and they are absolutely accurate when they bomb.
To be honest, with the battle going like this, only a few hundred people died and the troops were withdrawn, which is pretty good."
Li Xiu smoked his cigar helplessly. The battle was going on like this, and his face as a naval commander had no luster.
After all, under the circumstances of great victory in every battlefield.
The failure of this landing is too conspicuous!
"Then you have to give Chen Laohu a reward?" Li Xiao took the cup and poured a cup of tea on his own.
"That's not necessary!" Li Xiu replied nonchalantly.
"Bang!" The water cup hit the wall of the cabin and was shattered into pieces in an instant.
"I won't blame you for losing your equipment, but what about you?
You should know how hard and time-consuming it is to train a pilot.
Those are all people as valuable as gold!
Tiger Chen!
Hell, he sent twenty-six of them, but only five of the pilots were recovered alive!
There are still eight pilots left, but no one is alive and no one is dead.
Hundreds of Marines died, and a whole fucking battalion was wiped out.
The French hung the bodies of our martyrs on trees for display and nailed them to crosses for display.
Do you still have the nerve to talk to me like this?
I will send someone to kill Chen Laohu right now." Li Xiao's face turned red and veins popped out on his neck.
Li Xiu was a little confused. He had never seen his brother lose such a temper in such a long time.
