Beauty Comic Plane Trader

Chapter 86: Gathering the Stars

The next morning, Qiao Xi and his party appeared at the Army Aviation Military Airport.

In addition to the six bodyguards and Linden's white gloves, he was accompanied by a blond beauty in green clothes.

Needless to say, this woman is naturally Ophelia.

It's just that unlike her flying figure when we first met, Ophelia now looks listless and gloomy.

People who didn't know better thought that Josie had done something vicious to this woman.

Okay, putting a shock collar with a detonator on someone that can't be removed is pretty vicious indeed.

After knowing the function of this collar, Ophelia felt bad all over.

That is to say, Josie didn't tell her that a mini bomb was implanted in the back of her head for double insurance.

Otherwise, this woman would probably be even more gloomy.

The plane we took this time was a DC-3 that Qiao Xi was very familiar with. To be precise, it was its military modified version, the C-47.

The English Channel is only over 300 miles, which is nothing compared to DC's 1,600-mile voyage.

After the start of World War II, except for a small number of civilian ones, most DC-3s were purchased by the military for use as transport aircraft. It was the largest aircraft type used by the military for airdrops and transportation during World War II.

U.S. airborne troops also use it.

After about two hours of flight, the plane landed at the battlefield airport on the outskirts of Caen, a city in northern France.

When I got off the plane, I could still hear the sound of artillery fire from time to time in the distance, and I could also see the fleet of aircraft flying by from time to time in the sky.

Even though it is already the end of July, more than a month and nearly two months have passed since the landing battle.

But the Allied positions in France are actually still very dangerous.

After all, France is only about the size of a palm, and the Normandy landing area is only about two hundred kilometers away from Paris.

Within this distance, more than four million troops of the Allied and German armies were crowded, criss-crossing each other.

The depth of the Allied forces in France was still less than 100 kilometers. As for the city of Caen in front of them, the Allied forces fought for 33 days, almost reducing the entire city to rubble, and the Germans had to evacuate.

The Allied frontline headquarters moved to the outskirts of Caen, that is, last week.

In the city of Saint-Lô, less than fifty kilometers west of Caen, the famous General Patton personally led the deployment and captured the city just a few days ago.

But generally speaking, the German army has begun to be defeated across the board, and it is only a matter of time before France recovers.

"Mr. Kahn?" Not long after Qiao Xi and his party got off the plane, three jeeps came speeding towards them in the distance and soon stopped not far away. A lieutenant colonel jumped out of the car and asked them.

Mainly in the entire military airport, only Qiaoxi and his gang were wearing suits and leather shoes, so they were so recognizable.

"It's me, what do you call me?" Qiao Xi asked politely, stretching out her hand.

"I'm Mark, General McGuinness's adjutant. He asked me to pick you up!" the lieutenant colonel shook hands with Josie.

As the beacon agent was purchased and used in large quantities by the military and played a huge role during the landing battle, the original matter of General McGinnis being forced to retire was naturally ignored. However, there was no actual use in the army at the beginning.

There was a vacancy, so there was no new appointment, and he was just a sinecure in the general headquarters.

But just a few days ago, a ridiculous thing happened.

On July 25, the first step of the Allies' famous Cobra plan was to carry out carpet bombing of German positions. He was the most unlucky general in World War II. He was also the highest-ranking U.S. general killed in World War II and General Eisenhower's deputy.

Army Lieutenant General Leslie James McNair, commander of the First Army Group, was directly hit by a bomb from his own bomber and was blown into a pile of stumps.

It is a very coincidence that McInnes' position before his dismissal was the commander of the First Army, and McNair was his replacement after his dismissal.

So we can only say that God is helping McGinnis... Under the same circumstances, who is more suitable to be the commander of the First Group than him, an old commander?
