  Drake is a very humorous and astute person, such a person is very suitable for doing business with the French, Sun Xiang repeatedly praised Hughes' vision.

  Xun Xiang's itinerary was all arranged by this clever 'glider', and the group checked into a luxurious hotel called Romantic Capital near the dock. The dinner was exceptionally sumptuous, with Drake treating Xun Xiang and his party to the most authentic Bordeaux red wine in the resplendent hotel. Xun Xiang saw the romantic character of the French people everywhere - roses were visible everywhere, soft piano music filled the air, and luxurious banquets and gatherings were held.

  The character of the French determined the frustration of the war, and the character determines the fate of the French people. The dinner was very luxurious, with foie gras, snails, and small beef tenderloin, which made me realize that French cuisine is indeed a culinary culture on par with Chinese food. Sun Xiang read an article in the army about French haute cuisine: In the 17th century, high-end chefs from the French royal court spread to the folk, and Louis XIV, XV, and XVI were extremely fond of indulging in pleasure (especially food). The top chefs were sent to the palace, where they exchanged and learned from each other, making French culinary culture continuously improve. Eventually, Louis XVI was beheaded, the palace was looted, and these master chefs flowed into the folk, allowing their craftsmanship to continue to grow and develop in France until today, when French haute cuisine has become one of the world's top two cuisines.

  Having eaten and drunk enough, they returned to their respective rooms. The soft downy bed immediately made Sun Xiang relax his travel fatigue. Lying on the comfortable downy bed, Sun Xiang was full of confidence in the future. No matter what, he was standing at the highest point in this world, overlooking the whole world. Although it was inevitable to change the course of history, but in his heart, he had the confidence to let this trajectory change according to his own ideas. As long as his own "butterfly" wings were strong enough, it would not be difficult to stir up a storm in the world.

  A knock at the door brought Sun Xiang's thoughts back to reality, and when he opened it, Sherry's delicate face appeared in front of him. Seeing Sherry, Sun Xiang let out a strange smile, looking at her like a sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

  Sherry gave Sun Xiang a sideways glance and slowly walked into his room, turning on the phonograph. The waiter behind Sherry brought in some snacks and a bottle of red wine. As soon as the waiter left the room, Sun Xiang and Sherry shared a long French kiss that lasted for 5 minutes, leaving them both breathless. Sherry's face was already flushed with excitement, possibly due to the romantic atmosphere of France. To the sound of music, she pulled Sun Xiang, who was still savoring the moment, into a waltz dance. Sun Xiang was caught off guard and stumbled over his feet, not knowing how to react as a military man. He awkwardly followed Sherry's lead, moving slowly to the rhythm. Seeing Sun Xiang's embarrassment, Sherry burst out laughing, her silvery voice filling the room. Holding hands, she taught Sun Xiang the waltz steps, and finally, they embraced each other, whispering sweet nothings about their love for each other...

  "Sherry ~ I love you." Sun Xiang said tightly hugging Sherry.

  "I do too, Steve. You know? Although I knew you misunderstood me, my heart still ached as if it was torn apart. In the following days, I frantically collected information about Spain. I begged Mr. Hughes to tell me your specific itinerary. Can you understand my feelings?" Sherry's confession warmed Sun Xiang's heart.

  He tightened his grip on the jade pendant, and then Sun Xiang said: "I know, baby, of course I know. When I walked out of your room, I comforted myself by saying 'don't be foolish, you're going to lose her this lifetime.' But in my heart, I didn't hope that it was true at all. I found that my heart felt empty and hollow, but at the same time, there was also a thread of relief. I thought about the war I'm going to participate in, and my heart is filled with fear. I'm afraid I'll bring you sorrow. You know I want you to be happy!"

  Cherry didn't say a word, she just tightly hugged Sun Xiang. The music stopped, Cherry pulled Sun Xiang towards the goose down bed, her heart was extremely nervous, thinking that she would soon give away her most precious thing, her body trembled with fear. Sun Xiang naturally understood Cherry's intention, he let out a loud laugh and swept Cherry into his arms, heading towards the bed, the jade-like person in his embrace had already blushed bright red, afterwards it was a night of spring breeze several times over...

  The next day, Sun Xiang woke up early and gazed at Sherry's sweet sleeping posture, his love overflowing from his heart. He gave Sherry a gentle morning kiss, then quickly got out of bed to go to the dining hall to order breakfast for his beloved woman. At this time, there were not many people in the dining hall yet. Sun Xiang found a waiter and ordered breakfast, but was surprised to see Drake occupying an entire table by himself, eating voraciously. Seeing Sun Xiang's astonished expression, he didn't seem to mind at all, and only spoke up after stuffing another sandwich into his mouth: "Good morning, Mr. Sun! Isn't it a great day today?"

  "Good morning, Drake." Xun Xiang smiled and greeted him.

  "Do you have any travel plans today?" Drake asked.

  "For now, there's nothing planned, do you have any good suggestions?" Sun Xiang asked.

  "Well... then let's take a good look at the city of France today, there are many interesting places here."

  "Alright, I'll leave it up to you then. Oh! By the way, are you a member of the Hughes Institute?"

  "No, I'm an advisor to Mr. Howard and now a business developer for the European side. With the increasing demand for weapons in various countries, our institute's aircraft and scattered weapon manufacturing need to seek sales channels, so I came here." Drake replied.

  Sun Xiang nodded: "I know, what you need to pay attention to now is that the Italian side may have someone looking for you to trade in arms. Try not to make such deals, especially high-end weapons must not be sold to them, understand?"

  "That's fine, sir, but I need to get this order approved by the boss." Drake looked a bit embarrassed.

  "Alright, I'll talk to Mr. Howard about it, you can just go ahead with the execution, okay? Well, enjoy your meal."

  "Thanks for your blessing, I'm having a great time eating~~" Drake said with a smile.

  Breakfast had been delivered by the waiter, and Sun Xiang took his breakfast and bid farewell to the chubby boy who was laughing together.

  Xun Xiang returned to the room with dinner, and the sound of the door opening startled Sherry, who was sleeping. She sat up against the back of the bed, her lazy movements exuding an astonishing beauty. The rain from last night had washed over her, combining the innocence of a young girl with the charm of a mature woman, creating a unique aura that greatly stirred Xun Xiang's desires.

  Put down the meal, a tiger pounced on food and jumped onto the bed. Shirley's face was full of shyness as Sun Xiang served her. Her eyes were filled with a thick, unmelting love. The two rolled around on the bed together. "Ah!" Shirley's painful cry stopped Sun Xiang in his tracks. Seeing that he had been too rough, Sun Xiang quickly stopped and the two ended up snuggled together eating a loving breakfast.

  It wasn't until noon that Rita got up and waited with Lock for Sun Xiang and Sherry to come downstairs. After deciding to go to Hughes' film company, Rita would take a ship back to the United States today, with Lock accompanying her. Sun Xiang agreed to her request, feeling at ease with Lock protecting his safety. He sent another telegram to Hughes, explaining Rita's situation clearly, and also entrusted him with the matter of the military supplies.

  Liverpool Dock: Four people stood at the dock, bidding each other farewell. Sun Xiang entrusted Lock to take care of Rita's safety, and Lock's abilities were still reassuring. Rita bit her lip, looking at Sun Xiang with a heart that couldn't calm down: Am I really going to lose him like this? No! I don't want to. Rita thought about the day on the oil tanker when Sun Xiang seemed like a black knight from a fairy tale, descending from the sky. From childhood to adulthood, Rita's heart had never felt as peaceful as it did in Sun Xiang's arms. She instantly fell in love with that feeling and was determined not to let Sun Xiang slip away without a fight. The hardships of her childhood had taught her that she could only get what she wanted by striving for it herself...

  Sun Xiang had just finished his confession and was about to bid farewell to Rita, when a fragrant breeze suddenly swept into his arms, and Rita tightly hugged him. Sun Xiang's hands were awkwardly placed, not knowing where to put them. Sheri looked at herself, rolled her eyes, turned around, and didn't think much of it.

  Her chest heaving with sobs, Rita wiped her tears on Xiang Sun's body. She whispered to him, "Steve! Listen, I've found that I really love you. I know you have great ambitions, and I won't hold you back. But I'm telling you, you can't get rid of me now. I'll wait for you in America!" After finishing speaking, Rita threw her arms around Xiang Sun's neck, tiptoed, and kissed his lips.

  Sun Xiang is now completely drunk, only feeling Rita's cold and soft lips, then unconsciously licking them once, sweet! Lips parted! Then the woman rushed onto the oil tanker with tears and shyness.

  Sun Xiang looked at Locke helplessly and shrugged. He and Sherry stood on the dock, watching as the oil tanker gradually disappeared into the distance. Suddenly, Sherry spoke up and asked, "Isn't it a wonderful feeling?" Sun Xiang: "......"

  For the next three days, Drake took the two of them on a tour of the entire city of Marseille. As France's largest port city, the culture here is very diverse. Sherry and Sun Xiang were like a pair of newlyweds on their European honeymoon, experiencing the cultural heritage of Europe in this city. Finally, they arrived at the Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde, from where they overlooked the entire city of Marseille and took in the breathtaking view of the Mediterranean Sea. As the sun set, Sherry leaned against Sun Xiang's shoulder: "You're leaving soon, what should I do?"

  "After a long hesitation, Sun Xiang said: 'You make your own choice, one is to go back to the United States, and the other is to stay in Marseille.'"

  Sherry bit her lip tightly: "I choose the third one!" Her tone was very firm.

  Sun Xiang sighed: "Alas... I knew it, but Spain is very chaotic. I'm really worried about your safety. You're a girl from a good family, why are you running to such a war-torn place? Here in Drake, you can be taken care of and I'll feel at ease."

  "Steve, I want to see you come home safely every day. I know what you're thinking, but I've told you before that I'm going to Spain to find my own happiness. You said you wouldn't stop me, and don't forget, I'm a nurse, I can work in a war zone hospital too, it's also my way of supporting you."

  Sun Xiang: "......No way! I can accommodate you in everything else, but this is not possible. I'll ask Dreker to take care of you."

  This conversation completely killed their interest in sightseeing and they hastily returned to the hotel.

  The next morning, Drake took Roché into the City of Romance, where everything was already packed up. Roché told Sun Xiang that the French side could only send the first batch of International Brigade members to the border with Spain, and that government troops would be waiting to receive them once they entered Spanish territory. Sun Xiang nodded in response to Roché's request, then turned to Drake and said: "Hewitt will transport an F4U over during this time period; can you make arrangements for it to be transported directly to the battlefield in Spain?"

  "Rest assured, boss, transportation is absolutely no problem," Drake said with a pat on his chest. "But, boss, where am I transporting to?"

  Sun Xiang closed his eyes for a moment, then said: "The military airport near Madrid! That's it." Then he solemnly told Drake: "Also, the most important thing, take care of Sherry for me."

  "Don't worry, boss! I've got this place covered."

  Sherry quietly followed behind Sun Xiang until he was about to get on the bus. Sun Xiang turned around and hugged her: "Wait for me to come back!" "En, be careful with everything! ...and I will always wait for you to come back!"
