My own war game

Chapter 121 Preparing to Separate
Temporary settlement at Ho Chi, London.

"Did you write down Mr. Menzies' contact information?" the Oriental man turned around and asked.

"Yes, I wrote it down in my notebook." The teenage girl nodded in agreement.

"If the situation is urgent, you can go to Elizabeth. She is either in Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle. But don't conflict with Margaret. Last time you had a fight, someone complained to the king."

"Okay, okay, I get it! I don't care about that proud little hen Margaret."

"The emergency food is in the warehouse. I'll leave two thousand pounds in cash in three different places. If you want it from the landlady..."

"Hey, He, you're being a bit nagging! I'm not a child anymore!" Hepburn put her hands on her waist in displeasure. "I'm just going out for a week, right? I can take care of myself. You're being nagging like my grandmother."

"Really?" He Chi was stunned, then he smiled. He was not the kind of person who would fuss around, and he didn't know what happened today.

"Well, I've written down all the things you need to pay attention to in a notebook. If you don't know anything, just look it up." The Oriental man handed a notebook to the girl, and then took out a large box of luggage from the house.

Beep, beep, beep~~beep~~~beep~~~~~
A military jeep stopped at the door and Montgomery got out with two orderlies.

"He, your place is so narrow, it's like a rabbit hole. I told you a long time ago that Hepburn should live with me. Now you finally get it." The loud-voiced Montgomery said as soon as he entered the door.

"Just a week. I'll be back." The girl added, leaning her head aside.

"OK! OK! I will take you back personally when the time comes. Madam, please get in the car." The British major general opened the car door himself.

Hepburn stretched out her fair little hand and handed it to the Oriental man. He Chi was stunned and also reached out to help the other person step into the jeep.

After closing the car door, Montgomery's expression began to become serious. He lowered his voice and said, "He, what happened to you? Did you receive any dangerous mission? You sounded like you were telling me about your final plans on the phone before."

The Oriental man shook his head. "It is indeed a troublesome task. If I cannot come back, I will have to trouble you to take care of this girl."

"Don't worry, the three of us came back from the Netherlands together. With me here, even Manstein can't touch her." Montgomery patted his chest and took the responsibility.

Then the balding "Desert Jerboa" reached out to the Oriental man and said, "When you really don't want to be an agent, come and be my adjutant. If Menzies doesn't agree, I will go to his office and sit in protest."

"If I come back safely this time, I will." He Chi also extended his hand to shake hands.

The jeep drove away, and Hepburn looked back as it turned the corner.

He Chi sighed, feeling a little lost.

He Chi is about to leave, or he can leave at any time, and there is a high probability that he will not return to this time point.

So before leaving, he had to arrange Hepburn's future life.

Fortunately, Montgomery, as a partner who escaped together, took the initiative to take care of Hepburn. Considering his status in the army and the heights he would reach later, the little girl at least would not suffer any loss.

Menzies had also informed him that according to intelligence, the Germans would launch an all-out attack on the British Isles with more than 8 aircraft tomorrow night, August 12. At that time, he would take off in the white Spitfire fighter under the pretext of boosting morale, and then naturally find a time point in the air battle to "disappear on the battlefield".

In this way, all parties can have a reasonable explanation, and he will most likely be regarded as a war hero within the military, and Hepburn, as his "family member", should receive protection in all aspects.

Is there anyone else who would like to explain?

Elizabeth? The last time I saw them was half a month ago. The future Queen had already begun to show her political talent. She didn't have too many personal emotions when she spoke. She just gave them a pistol with the royal emblem when she left.

Margaret? This troublemaker has become much more obedient after the last airport incident. Operation 999 has not been launched for a long time. However, her relationship with Hepburn has always been not good. I wonder if it will ease after I leave.

Is there anyone else? Is there anyone? Probably not?

Maybe... there is another person, the one he has never known how to face.

Christine Sinnell

Maybe I should at least go meet her.

At the Free French temporary residence, attendants were taking away Charles de Gaulle's personal belongings. It was said that the general would meet with the Prime Minister and would stay at the other's estate this week.

Because the general was away, many jobs could not be confirmed, and about half of the civilian staff were given a few days off. Because Miss Christine was always very strict, when we received the notice of leave, we confirmed it repeatedly before we finally believed it.

"Are you sure you don't want to go with me?" Charles de Gaulle, who was already dressed in formal attire, confirmed with his assistant again.

"No, it would seem too planned if everyone left before the bombing. We need someone in charge to stay here so that it looks like we were attacked suddenly." Christine was still sorting documents casually, as if she was talking about something insignificant.

"But this is too dangerous..."

"Don't worry, I don't plan to die here. As soon as you leave, I will move to the air-raid shelter. When the bomb drops, I will make myself look embarrassed and appear in front of the public. The label of the Germans bombing the civilian area will never be torn off." The female assistant expressed her plan.

The general looked at the assistant beside him and had an indescribable feeling in his heart. They had known each other for twenty years, and the other party had changed a lot.

De Gaulle was silent for a moment. "I remember you never liked this method."

"Our strength is too weak. For the sake of France, I am willing to try even the darkest tricks." Christine's tone was resolute.

"Please take care of yourself!" Charles de Gaulle saluted solemnly, then turned and walked out.

The noises downstairs gradually faded away. Most people left with the general. Christine was left alone in the office, and it seemed that there was no one around her.

The gramophone next to her was turned on, the record started spinning, and a leisurely song came out of it. The female intelligence officer lit a cigarette alone, and the room soon became filled with smoke.

"Yes, I have become the bad woman I once hated. You will be disappointed to see me like this." Christine looked at the back of her hand with some self-mockery. A blurred shadow was reflected on the bright red nails.
