Chapter 49: Banquet
Since Chinese New Year's Eve Leon and Sophia tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, their lives have become regular in the next few days - holding hands and shopping during the day, and not being shy or irritable at night.
Easy time always flies quickly, and the day when I was scheduled to leave China is fast approaching.
Sophia and Leon got up early and began to pack their belongings and souvenirs to bring home. A few days of sweet life have changed the temperaments of Leon and Sophia, and the originally sharp Leon has become calm, and the smell of iron and blood on his body is much lighter.
Sophia has changed from a girl to a young woman, less youthful, more mature.
After the two finished packing, they reluctantly left the courtyard that had accompanied them for 5 days with their suitcases.
This courtyard has a great meaning for Leon and Sophia, where the two broke through the final step in their relationship and witnessed Leon's hasty marriage proposal, which gave them more of a feeling of home than a hotel.
So before leaving, Leon specifically found the owner of the house, and bought the house at a price that the other owner could not refuse, and Leon and Sophia made up their minds that they would return to live here when they had the opportunity to live in the future.
The return journey was not as many episodes as when I came, everything went very smoothly, the group took the train back to the British concession, and then boarded the German ship at the dock of the concession and left China.
On the ship, Leon and Sophia stood side by side at the stern, looking at the farther and farther coastline, silently bidding farewell to this ancient country.
The two plan to travel around Europe for the rest of the holiday, but unlike in China, their plans to travel around Europe will be carried out as official trips.
After more than ten days of bumps at sea, the two arrived in Portsmouth, England.
Portsmouth is known as the "City of Naval Ports" because it is the main base of the British Royal Navy, where the Royal Navy's Home Fleet is anchored all year round.
As soon as Leon got off the ship, he saw two huge battleships docked in the harbor.
Leon was a naval fan in his last life, and naturally paid attention to the powerful British Royal Navy, so he recognized these two battleships at a glance as the war-weary ship belonging to the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship and the Royal Oak belonging to the Revenge-class battleship.
These two ships are now the main force of the British Royal Navy, and their combat effectiveness is very powerful, which makes Lyon very jealous.
British Prime Minister Baldwin, who had been waiting in the port, saw that Lyon had disembarked, so he greeted him with a group of retinues, shook Leon's hand warmly, and said: "Welcome friends from Germany to visit Britain." "
Leon replied with a smile: "Polite, it is really an honor to be personally greeted by Mr. Prime Minister." "
The two exchanged a few simple pleasantries, and then took the car to the hotel arranged in the UK to stay and rest.
On the way, Lyon felt that this trip may not be easy, because it is reasonable to say that Lyon, as a senior officer of the German Wehrmacht, is not enough for the British Prime Minister to personally come to greet him, and now the Prime Minister is personally greeting, I am afraid that there is only one purpose, I want to take the opportunity of Lyon's visit to Britain to completely pull Germany onto its own balance of continental balance against the powerful France.
But Germany borders France, and if Germany openly accepts Britain's wooing, then France will certainly not make the now almost undefended Germany look good. So Lyon will next have to play the spirit of 12 points, and every step may determine the future development of Germany.
After resting for an entire afternoon, in the evening Lyon put on a long-lost military uniform and was accompanied by a costumed Sophia to attend the evening prepared by the British side.
Arriving at the door, Leon took a deep breath and strode into the ballroom with his head held high.
At this time, there were already many people in the banquet hall, and everyone heard the sound of the door opening, and they all looked back at the door. When they saw that it was the protagonist of tonight who came in, everyone stood up and toasted to Leon.
Although Leon has been the supreme commander of the Wehrmacht for some time, he has never participated in a banquet of this size, and he is inevitably a little nervous at this time, forgetting what he should do.
Sophia next to the voice saw Leon's nervousness, she chuckled and hugged Leon's hand, signaling that she was always by his side, and there was no need to be nervous.
Leon understood what Sophia meant, smiled gratefully at Sophia, and then worked hard to sort out his emotions, smiling and waving to everyone, so that he did not lose his mind in front of everyone.
"General Leon, I have heard about your deeds a long time ago, and when we first met today, they are really young talents." A man smiled and strode towards Leon, stretching out his hand from afar, as if he had not seen an old friend for many years.
Leon frowned slightly, secretly thinking of trouble, he didn't know who he was, how should he say hello later?
Fortunately, Sophia on the side was born famous, and she reminded Leon in a low voice: "He is the second son of King George V of England, Prince Albert, Duke of York." "
Hearing this, Leon greeted him with a smile and said, "Hello, Your Royal Highness Prince Albert, you are too polite." Then he shook Albert's hand and hugged him while carefully recalling Prince Albert's life.
Suddenly Leon remembered Albert, the future King George VI, who passed the throne to him in 1936 by his brother Edward VIII.
"Miss Sophia, I haven't seen you for a long time." Albert smiled and greeted Sophia beside Leon, the two should have known each other for a long time.
"Prince Albert, long time no see." Sophia gave a lady salute and then asked, "What about Princess Elizabeth?" Didn't she come today? "
"Oh, she's here, she should be over there." Albert pointed in one direction and said.
"Then I won't bother the two, I'll go and exchange marriage experiences with Princess Elizabeth." Sophia said with a smile, and then walked in Elizabeth's direction after saying goodbye to the two.
"Oh, you're getting married?" Albert looked at Leon in surprise and said.
"yes, she's a nice girl, isn't she? She had already agreed to my marriage proposal. Leon nodded with happiness on his face.
"Dude, you're lucky, do you know how many handsome aristocratic guys in our UK alone have a crush on Sophia?" Albert said with a light punch in Leon's chest.
"But they don't have a chance, do they?" Leon smiled and patted Albert's shoulder, secretly wondering in his heart, Sophia often seems to accompany Strauss to various banquets, and has so many followers in England.
"Haha, yes. However, only a young talent like General Leon can attract the favor of Miss Sophia. Albert paused, pointed to a row of sofas not far away, and asked Leon inquiringly, "Let's go for a drink?" "
Leon secretly thought that business had finally come, then nodded and said, "Okay."
