Chapter 72 Conflict
In the next few days, Josie and Linden didn't see Angela back to the resident hotel.
Later, according to the information obtained by their subordinates, Josie and Linden learned that Colonel Kennedy specially bought a house in the West End of London to house Angela.
During World War II when U.S. troops were stationed in the UK, the West End of London was completely reduced to an area where U.S. troops had fun.
The soldiers' area is dominated by Hyde Park and Piccadilly Circus. At night, every corner of these places is filled with the smell of heather, and the cleaners here clean up the framed hard hats every morning.
That's right... These guys don't even bother to find a normal place.
How about 1.8 million lives?
However, senior military officers like Kennedy definitely look down on Liuying in those places. They like to go to those high-end apartments.
There are a large number of ladies wearing high-end fur coats waiting for them.
Even many senior military officers of the U.S. military lived in high-end apartments of those widows, or even non-widows, grandly as masters, and only returned to the barracks during the day.
Kennedy is the colonel of Hainan Airlines, a proper senior military officer. It is a trivial matter to find a residence for Angela to live in.
But for Linden, it was pure humiliation.
However, Linden is not a young man who is easy to get angry, but an old fritter who has been in the gray area since World War I.
I know very well that in this special period, confronting a high-ranking military official who holds real power is purely a mindless operation.
Let’s not say that he is a person who wanders in a gray area. Even Josie, who is his boss, is a quasi-tycoon in the United States.
So he didn't need Josie's persuasion, he just pretended nothing happened, and devoted himself to his work, helping Josie contact local snakes on the ground in London, selling those high-end goods.
But both he and Josie knew that this matter was not so easy to end.
It's just that they didn't expect that they didn't find trouble with each other, but it didn't mean that the other party wouldn't trouble them. To be precise, they found trouble with Josie.
"Josie, farewell this time, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to meet again!" In the "Rainbow Club" in London's West End, several officers including Aldo clinked glasses with Josie, and then directly poured the whole glass of beer and said.
"Rainbow Club" is a club run by the American Red Cross and dedicated to serving the U.S. military. It is also the base camp for the U.S. military to have fun in London.
Not only is food served all night, but it also has a huge dance floor that can accommodate 1,000 couples dancing at the same time.
In the Captain America movie, the place where Captain America made a dance appointment with Peggy Carter in memories is here.
Normally speaking, ordinary non-military personnel, especially men, cannot enter here. Only women can enter here at the invitation of American soldiers.
But Josie’s situation is a bit different. One is that he is originally an American, and he is a member of the military, which is considered half a military member. The other is that he has also become a supplier of this club recently.
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 the dollar and the pound. In the past month or so, almost the entire upper class in London and the middle and senior officers of the US military have known He is a supernatural American tycoon.
It was also during this period that he met Aldo and several other officers who had met on the plane.
As for the other one who has a better relationship, Winters is not among them. The 101st Airborne Division is stationed far away from London, so it seldom comes to London.
And Josie is here today to see off these officers.
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 the final state of combat readiness, and there are basically no ordinary U.S. soldiers on vacation on the street.
Aldo and the others are officers, so they can be here.
But until tomorrow, they will not be able to leave the barracks.
"Hmph, capitalists like you can only hide behind the battlefield and **** the blood of the brave soldiers." At this moment, not far behind Josie and the others, there was a disharmonious voice. sound.
Everyone looked, but they saw a colonel officer standing not far away, and standing beside him was Angela who lowered her head and dared not look at Josie.
"Mr. Colonel, do we know each other?" Josie narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he had already guessed the identity of the other party, he still asked pretending not to know.
"Joseph Kennedy! You are Josie Kahn, right!" Colonel Kennedy asked as he approached Josie while talking, but he was blocked by Aldo, who felt that he was not kind.
"What? Do you have any questions? Lieutenant!" Looking at Aldo who stood in front of him, Kennedy said disdainfully.
"Oh, sorry, sir, I just want to say hello to you and salute you!" Aldo did salute the other party in a decent way, and then said, "But I listen to your tone, Seems to have a problem with our army?"
"What's the matter? Do you have any thoughts on what I said? Lieutenant!" Kennedy sneered.
To say that in World War II, the most famous contradiction between the navy and the army was the foot pot chicken.
But in fact, similar contradictions exist in most countries, and the United States is no exception.
As a colonel of HNA, it is normal for Kennedy to have prejudice against the army, not to mention that Aldo is just a mere lieutenant.
"Of course not, sir, our army never takes the initiative to provoke idiots." Aldo squinted his eyes and replied, with a special emphasis on the word sir in his tone.
"...Very well, it seems that you are very unconvinced. I never like to use military rank to overwhelm others. Listen, everyone, it has nothing to do with military rank..." Kennedy stuffed the wine glass in his hand into Angela's hand beside him, and at the same time did not forget Pointing to the gloomy Josie on the seat behind Aldo with his finger,
"Joseph...don't!" Seeing this, Angela felt a little scared.
"Don't worry, baby, what do they dare to do to me..." Before Kennedy finished speaking with a smile, Aldo punched him in the face with a fist.
Seeing this, Josie and other army officers felt their hearts sink.
Bad food!
They didn't expect that Aldo would actually do it.
Don't look at Kennedy saying that it doesn't matter the rank, but whoever really takes this seriously is purely brain-dead.
This is not just about beating the superior, but it might cause conflicts between the navy and the army.
If such a thing happened on the eve of the great war, Aldo, who took the lead, would definitely not be able to go to the military court.
"Hold him quickly!" Josie shouted hastily.
If it’s just a punch, maybe there’s still room for redemption
But if Kennedy is really going to make a mess, then no one will really be able to keep Aldo.
But in fact, Josie didn't need to shout. The other officers also knew the seriousness of the matter, and they grabbed Aldo who wanted to continue beating Kennedy.
"Bastard, I'm going to kill you!" Kennedy, who was punched unpreparedly, was naturally still unwilling to let it go, and immediately wanted to turn around and teach Aldo a lesson, but he was caught as soon as he punched It froze and couldn't move at all.
"Who is it?" The furious Kennedy turned around and stopped eating immediately.
Because the person who captured him had a very unusual identity.
Although the opponent's military rank was not high, Kennedy knew that he would never be able to beat the opponent.
Just because of the title of the other party, called Captain America!
Sorry for being late.
In addition, many children's shoes have been asked to be put on the shelves, and the time has been set. It will be next Friday. Please support us a lot!
