Three days later, London, England.
The weather in July is supposed to be extremely hot, but you can't feel the scorching heat in this place.
Most of the team had never been to London before, so naturally they were not aware of this aspect. They just felt that the British were a little lucky, and they were not like the Chinese, who seemed to have several stoves roaring under them in the summer. , making people feel like they are almost being steamed.
Although Qi Zhen clearly said that he would sleep for three days, he only slept for one day and one night before waking up. It was not because he didn't want to sleep, but the strengthening of the magic fluid and virus did make his body a little too strong. The terrifying thing before The injury has healed well and there are no unsolvable root causes, so he is a little happy.
After returning to London on a military plane, the team began to rest and recuperate as last time. The difference from last time was that the team's actions last time were more involved in the entire campaign as part of the Allied forces landing in Normandy. This time, they were independent. The task, and judging from the results, the team completed it very well.
The Allied Forces Command praised the squad for their bravery and flexible tactics in the Battle of Cannes (Battle of Caen), and prepared to award medals to everyone in the squad.
In fact, everyone who heard the news was not too happy. This was not to really reward the team. Most of the reason was for the propaganda needs of the Allies. After all, for the entire European battlefield, Qi Zhen What they did was only a tiny part of it.
Most people in the team don't like to appear in public and appear under the spotlight of the media. Except for Zhang Qi, everyone still prefers to hide in the shadows and make a fortune quietly.
Qi Zhen felt that if the allies really wanted to reward them, they might as well give them some legendary props that could bring them out of the game, or give them more money that could be converted into game gold coins.
Thinking of this, Qi Zhen still felt a little depressed. The bottle of wine that was supposed to be returned was still lying quietly in his human bag. He didn't know when he would have the opportunity to take it out and drink it with everyone.
The team is actually led by Qi Zhen and Lin Biao, and everyone makes decisions together. However, in this game, Mark, a blond British man, is nominally the captain, so this mission is over. Later, Mark also became the most dazzling star.
Mark's serious injury has not healed yet, and he is still in a state where he can only move around with crutches. However, compared to when he was first injured, he is no longer much stronger.
This must also be attributed to the antibiotics prepared in the Zhang Chi medical kit. If it weren't for this thing, Mark wouldn't be able to survive now.
Three days is not long enough to give everyone a completely new look.
The investiture ceremony was held today, in the square in front of Buckingham Palace.
I don’t know how the British gathered so many people to watch in such a short period of time, and they actually surrounded the entrance of Buckingham Palace.
After the opening ceremony and the awarding of medals, Mark, as a representative, took the stage in a straight military uniform and delivered a speech.
Everyone in the team stood aside a little bored and turned into a backdrop.
It was obvious that Mark, who was on crutches, couldn't talk for too long. The team simply didn't listen to the specific words of those official phrases with passionate emotions.
After Mark finished speaking, the crutch under his arm had to be turned into a wheelchair, which was really a torturous thing.
The highlight is actually at the end.
A middle-aged man with a slightly bald head and not a burly figure walked onto the stage, causing the audience to fall into silence.
Winston Churchill, British Prime Minister.
This big man obviously wanted to use the success of the Normandy landing and the Battle of Caen to promote the hope of victory.
He impassionedly used the team's meritorious service to receive the award, praising the bravery of the British army and the Allied troops for not fearing death. Then he changed the topic and talked about the successful opening of the second battlefield in Europe, the unstoppable momentum of the Allied troops, and his understanding of the war. With his optimistic attitude towards the future situation, excited cheers erupted from time to time in the audience.
Finally, he said that the Allied forces were fully prepared and were confident that they would completely drive the Germans back to their homeland within a year.
This passage completely ignited the emotions of the people. Everyone was shouting for freedom and long live the Empire on which the sun never sets. Bright national flags were flying everywhere in the square.
Meanwhile, cameras were banging around the square, recording this great moment.
Before Churchill stepped off the stage, he passed by the team and gently encouraged everyone.
"Cai Fan, what will the system do if we kill him now?" Wang Jianguo whispered.
"Pfft..." Sun Jie couldn't hold back and almost laughed again.
"You can pull him down, you've had enough of the good life." Liang Sicheng said.
"But if this old man knew that the thing that made him so troubled now was also done by us, do you think he would be upset to death?" Qi Zhen said.
The next day, the three major newspapers, The Daily Telegraph, The Times and The Guardian, simultaneously published the ceremony as front-page headlines.
However, the reporting directions of the three media are quite different.
The Daily Telegraph focused its attention on Churchill's speech, and two words - one year - were written very eye-catchingly in the title.
The article discussed the important role of the Normandy landing in the entire campaign very optimistically, and raised a thought-provoking question at the end of the news: Mussolini, are you ready?
This rather playful shouting from the air was actually a naked provocation. The leader of the Axis powers who instigated the war naturally spoke for himself. But before driving the Germans back to their hometown a year later, he sat in the second position of the Axis powers. Italy may have sacrificed its flag in advance. It is conceivable that France's next target after the liberation will be him.
The Times focused the news on the fighting will of Allied soldiers, which inspired discussions about preferential treatment policies for soldiers and the cultivation of military cohesion. The photo on the front page showed Mark's resolute face and his creaking The crutches at the bottom are particularly conspicuous, forming a sharp contrast.
The Guardian is even more heavyweight, focusing on the top command of the Allied forces. Coordinated operations and common advance and retreat are the prerequisites for victory in a war. Therefore, it is extended to an organization that maintains world peace and advances and retreats together. How necessary it is, the proposal to establish the United Nations is once again on the horizon.
In fact, there is no good or bad distinction between the three views, but the ability to initiate discussions and attract widespread attention and enthusiasm from these three perspectives shows the brilliance of newspaper editors.
For a time, the entire UK was engaged in a national discussion, with different directions and focuses.
The reason is easy to understand. Before the Normandy landing, the Allies had not heard such exciting news of victory for a long, long time.
Of course, some people also noticed that the second page of the Times still left enough space for another news.
Where did it go?
This was the headline the Times gave to the news.
You know, a few days ago, this news was still the headlines of the three major newspapers.
Everyone in the team was not very interested in the headlines of the three major newspapers, but they were only interested in reading the news in The Times.
Just the day after the team left London, the British Army's armory was stolen. This was undoubtedly a shocking thing, but what was even more shocking was yet to come.
An entire warehouse of weapons and equipment disappeared in one night, and there was even a Sherman tank!
After the news leaked, the three major print media did not follow up in time. In their view, only tabloids like the Daily Mail and The Sun would pay attention to such nonsense.
However, when the news was confirmed to be true, they paid more attention to the subsequent news than other tabloids.
A warehouse's equipment would be moved without much movement, but the guards that day said that even if no one had sneaked in, let alone the trucks transporting weapons and equipment, how could it be possible to quietly move the equipment in the warehouse? Weapons and ammunition were looted?
The senior leaders of the Allied Forces are more likely to think that the logistics officer's negligence or theft was the result of self-defense. The possibility of self-defense and self-theft is very slim, so perhaps there was a mistake during registration.
Subsequently, the internal investigation of the army came to a standstill. The records of the shipment and storage of these weapons and equipment were very clear. Not only did there not be any trace of fraud, but they also matched the logistics department that kept this part of the weapons and equipment. The innocent ones were like two or three years old children.
So the matter could only be left undisturbed under this situation. No one knew that these equipment had long been hidden in the space artifacts of everyone in the team, and played an important role on the battlefield in Caen.
Zhang Qi finally understood what kind of props the team had. It was not magic, but magic, and his curiosity about the entire games world was raised to an unparalleled level.
The life of everyone in the team has not changed much. They rest peacefully, eat, drink and hang out everywhere, making full preparations for their vacation.
Mark's wife Jane came once with her daughter Alice. She thanked the team profusely for taking care of Mark. They saved Mark's life, which was enough for her to drop all her pretense and come to thank him.
Naturally, everyone in the team advised her not to be polite, and said that after Mark recovered from his injury, there would be more difficult tasks waiting for them, so she should be mentally prepared.
At the end of the war in Caen City, everyone discussed in the enemy's headquarters how wonderful it would be if they were teleported out by the system at this time.
However, it was destined to be the opposite.
Then the next task must be more difficult.
Qi Zhen had already suspected about this game, but she did not share it with other teammates, but watched with cold eyes.
At least until Mark's injury is completely healed, everyone doesn't have to worry too much about going back to those days of bullets.
