My own war game

Chapter 425 Unrequited Love

Let’s go back 48 hours to Los Angeles, near the train station.

"Hey, man, do you want to go find some fun? I know a good place with some nice girls. For only thirty bucks, you can see something exciting." A taxi driver was making some strange sales pitches to a passenger who was about to get off the car.

The other party was obviously not interested. He dropped the fare and then opened the door.

"Wait a minute, there's something else. I have connections in Hollywood. I can help you meet those big stars. I can even get them to take photos and sign autographs. Fifty bucks, fifty bucks, and I'll get it done for you."

Bang! The sound of a door slamming shut was his answer.

This means that another source of extra income has gone down the drain.

The driver reluctantly smoothed the other party's fare and stuffed it into his jacket pocket, muttering softly, "Country bumpkin, at least leave a little tip."

Click!

The car door was opened again.

The driver showed a happy expression on his face and turned to look over. "See, I knew you would come back. If you want to have fun here, just follow me. You..."

An embarrassed expression appeared on his face. The person who got on the bus was a man wearing a camel coat and a white shirt underneath. The small mustache on his lips was very impressive.

"Sir, where are you going? The Avenue of Stars? Beverly Hills? Or the Yacht Club?" The taxi driver asked the man sitting in the passenger seat naturally.

"Hey, man, I haven't told you where we're going yet." The man with a mustache looked at the driver in surprise.

"Look at what you said. A gentleman of your status should of course go to a place where people of status hang out." The driver explained with a smile.

"You have an identity?"

"Of course, sir." The driver replied with a smile, his eyes fixed on the other person's obviously custom-made jacket and tie with the Charvet brand logo.

"I just heard you say that you can take people to meet big Hollywood stars?" The man with a small mustache looked at the driver to confirm again.

"Well, of course, Garbo, Angie Dickinson, Sophia Loren, I can take you there, it only costs a little money, I believe that you are so generous that you certainly won't mind such a small amount of money... Oh, please go ahead."

A roll of hundred-dollar bills directly shut up the driver's noisy mouth.

"I want to see Hepburn. Can you find her?"

"Which Hepburn?"

"Audrey Hepburn, take me to her place and the money will be yours."

"It is my pleasure, sir."

Half an hour later, Adolf Garland stood in the Hollywood Photography Base in a neat suit, holding a letter in his hand and looking around in a daze.

"Hepburn is filming inside, you can see her when you walk in, good luck!" After using rhetoric to cheat the other party out of a large sum of money, the taxi driver ran away.

Adolf Garland, the German Eagle that was shot down by He Chi in the sky over London.

This man in his 50s is now a successful man. In the post-war period, he trained the Argentine Air Force for six years and was well paid. He now serves as a director of three large assembly plants in Europe and holds a large number of high-quality stocks.

However, compared with his smooth career, Garland's love life was full of ups and downs. His first wife was a woman with the title of count, who was very particular about etiquette and lifestyle.

Although Garland had made outstanding military achievements, he was not good at communicating with people, especially women. His overly straightforward and unromantic communication style, as well as the rude habits he developed in the army, made his wife unbearable.

Finally, the countess ended their marriage with an agreement two years ago. Garland accepted the result very happily and even gave his ex-wife a large sum of financial compensation.

He knew that his conservative character was not popular with women, and he also believed that he would never be attracted to women again.

Until after that movie.

At a cinema social event with the Flying Club, he recognized the glittering girl on the screen as the girl who had treated him in London.

That year, she and her so-called brother brought the entire German Air Force to its knees.

Although the action back then was an indelible stain in Garland's military career, looking at those big, expressive eyes, he could not bear a grudge against that person no matter what.

The little girl who treated him and was willing to listen to his lame bedtime stories every day.

Audrey Hepburn, that was her real name.

With a glimmer of hope, Garland tried to contact the other party. He sent a five-page letter, and the other party actually wrote back to him.

Between the lines, both parties recalled the series of events that happened in their small apartment in London in a tone similar to that of old friends.

"In times of war, everyone has different responsibilities, but I feel that Mr. Garland is a good gentleman and a good man," Hepburn replied at the end of the letter.

Later, the two met in the UK and even had a meal together.

That dinner made Garland feel extremely relaxed. He didn't need to rush to open the door for the woman, nor did he need to pretend to pull out the chair for her. He didn't even need to talk about those boring comedies or pretend to be an expert and brag about the government's policies.

Miss Hepburn actually enjoyed listening to his battle stories, especially the one about the London air battle. The plot of the crazy rat versus the white knight is always a favorite of British actresses.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess's driving skills are indeed not bad, but I'm not bad either. If she hadn't used those little tricks, I wouldn't have been shot down so easily." Whenever she said this, there would always be admiration in the girl's eyes.

After that day, Garland knew that he was in love with a girl who was 20 years younger than him.

She did not hate her cigar and mustache, nor did she ask for extra care. As a woman, she was actually willing to listen to his somewhat "boring" and "vulgar" battle stories, and she never got tired of it.

Garland knew that he had found his soul mate, and he vowed to protect her for the rest of his life.

But just when he was about to take action, Hepburn left Britain and flew to the United States to shoot a movie.

This disrupted the German plans.

Maybe Garland has many shortcomings, but lack of action is definitely not one of them. After buying a plane ticket, he flew to Los Angeles alone to look for the swan of his dreams.

Now Mr. Garland stood at the door of the filming center. After hesitating for a while, he finally stopped a staff member.

"Sir, is Miss Audrey Hepburn doing a photo shoot here?"

The other party had a strange expression on his face, and then glanced at the letter in his hand uneasily.

"Please wait, I'll be back soon." After saying this, the staff member left in a hurry.

It seemed that he was lucky and found the right place. Garland waited at the door with some anticipation.

Five minutes later, he was surrounded by several FBI agents.
