Chapter 286 Returning to the Pacific Ocean
Seeing Nadya come in, Ron stopped talking. Ms. Lucy put the plate in her hand on the coffee table, turned around and said: "Ron, come here and try it. Nadya, you can try it too, it's very good."
Delicious!”
Old Sean stretched out his hand and patted Ron on the shoulder: "Well, let's not talk about it for now. Let's try it quickly." As he said this, Old Sean stretched out his hand, pinched a small date, and then broke it with both hands.
He opened it, and then said to Ron and Nadya: "Come and see, you can really pull out silk."
"Hey, you can really pull out the silk!" Nadya came over and stared at the dates in Old Sean's hand with wide eyes. You can indeed see the fine lines between the two split dates.
Thin, light golden sugar strands.
Old Sean grabbed a handful of dates and handed them to Nadya. "Try it quickly. You can't find such delicious dates anywhere else in the United States."
Nadya nodded and smiled to express her gratitude, then took the handful of dates and walked to Ron and sat down. By the way, she gave half of the dates to Ron. Then she also followed the example of old Sean and gave a small date to Ron.
Open it, then face it to the sun and appreciate it
She looked at the thin golden threads for a while, until the golden threads broke off by themselves, then she put it into her little mouth and tasted it carefully. Then she showed a sweet smile, then reached out and poked Luo
En: "It's really sweet. Try it quickly!"
Ron was actually not unfamiliar with this kind of jujube, because it was the "golden jujube" that could be bought in any supermarket in his original time and space. However, after earth-shaking changes, he suddenly appeared in another place.
Seeing this thing in one time and space really made Ron feel a little dazed for a while.
"Hey, what are you thinking about? Why are you so stunned?" Nadya pushed Ron.
"Ah, I suddenly got distracted! I'm so sorry." Ron said as he stuffed a date that Nadya handed him into his mouth. Immediately, a familiar sweet smell filled his entire mouth. "
This really feels like home." Ron thought...
"Grandma, grandma, we also want to eat!" The two little girls also began to loudly assert their rights.
Old Sean looked at this scene with a smile, and his heart was full of joy. He couldn't help but think: "It would be great if the war could end immediately and the whole family could get together!"
…
Ron's family is generally very conservative, so when it's time to eat, something goes wrong. When it's time to pray, Ron discovers that, well, Nadya doesn't know how to pray. In fact, this is normal.
Because Nadya is a new generation born under the red flag and has been educated in atheism since she was a child. This set of "feudal"
"Superstitious", she had never even seen it before she came to the United States. In fact, even without the atheist teachings of the Soviet Union, Nadya would not have known the set of prayers used by the Ron family, because Russia has always been Orthodox.
area, and what the Ron family believes in is all derived from Calvin.
"Well, Dad, Nadya is an Orthodox Christian, and their prayers are different from ours." Ron quickly stepped forward to help Nadya. As he spoke, he quietly winked at Nadya. As for why he said that
Nadya is an Orthodox Christian. This is because in the United States at that time, it was difficult for many people to accept that a person could not believe in any god. But in the case of Ron,
In a conservative family, not believing in God is almost synonymous with depravity. However, it is not unacceptable if the other person does not believe in the same sect as you do. Perhaps in the early days of the Renaissance, there was still a "heresy comparison"
The idea that pagans are more hateful", but by the 1940s in the United States, even in conservative places, there was no such view.
The ice-snow and smart Nadya immediately understood what Ron meant, immediately put on an Orthodox prayer posture (I have seen this before), and then used her nightingale-like voice to read out this prayer in Russian:
"Ron, you are an idiot. You didn't know to ask others to prepare it beforehand. You idiot, you must apologize to me later and make up for me properly. Otherwise, you will look better..."
Seeing Nadya's pious look, but at the same time hearing her say these words in a singing tone, Ron almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
His mother noticed Ron's lack of dignity and glared at him fiercely. Ron quickly restrained himself and kept saying "Amen!"
Ron's prayers also ended with the "Amen". However, Nadya's prayer was not over yet. She was still "praying" seriously: "You fool, you are glared at by your mother? You really deserve it..."
Amen!”
Nadya finished her prayers solemnly, and then started to eat dinner.
In a conservative family like Ron's, it was absolutely not allowed for unmarried men and women to openly live together. So, that night, Nadya slept with Ms. Lucy, and Ron slept by himself.
…
Ron's time at home was very limited, and he had to leave early on the third day. Ron's eldest brother took a leave of absence and drove Ron, Nadya, and Scott there in his new Cadillac.
Railway Station. It can be seen that the economic boom brought about by the war made him make a lot of money.
Then it was time to take the train, and then to the airport. Scott had already booked a ticket for Nadya to go back. In the afternoon, Nadya left by plane. Watching Nadya board the ramp, Ron wanted to shout.
: "Your hair has grown to your waist. I will marry you when I come back!" But when I think about it, it feels unlucky. Because it seems that everything is
In the story, as long as anyone shouts this sentence, he will not be able to come back in the end. So he wanted to shout again: "Wait for me to come back!" But thinking about it, this sentence doesn't seem to be very lucky. I couldn't think of it for a moment.
What should I shout? I can't shout "Lucky Royal Free"? In the end, Ron just waved his hand to Nadya.
As gently as she came, Nadya left. She waved her hand gently and almost took away Ron's soul.
After regaining his composure, Ron boarded a transport plane flying to Pearl Harbor not long after.
…
After that, it was another long flight, first to Pearl Harbor, then take a sleep and then transfer to a transport plane to fly to Saipan. Now there are some B-29 troops using this place as a base to launch attacks on Japan.
.However, recently the Japanese have not cared about this area at all, because "The Bull" Halsey went to cause trouble near Taiwan.
Just a few days before Ron arrived at Pearl Harbor, General Halsey took the fleet to the coast of Taiwan. The old "Man Bull" originally only planned to go around and harass the opponent. This is from the name he gave to this operation
You can see it.
The old guy named this operation "hitandrun". Well, when he saw this name for the first time, Ron wondered if there was a game nerd from time-travel in the old guy's staff team, because the word "hitandrun"
Anyone who has played World of Warcraft will know that this is a fight.
Just run and fly a kite. However, in this era, the word is more commonly known as "hit and run." It can be seen from this name that what the old guy wants is to take his fleet and run to the Japanese.
Go ahead and run away, just a guy who sucks the shit out of you.
As a result, land-based reconnaissance planes still have an advantage over the fleet. On that day, Japanese reconnaissance planes discovered Halsey's huge fleet consisting of 16 aircraft carriers, 5 battleships, and 58 other ships.
But I don’t know if they were frightened by such a lineup or what happened. Anyway, except for the reconnaissance planes, the Japanese did not attack the U.S. fleet that day.
Launch an attack. But think about it, in the Mariana naval battle that just ended not long ago, Japanese aircraft had just witnessed how ferocious the U.S. fleet’s air defense force was. The Japanese had finally managed to save up a few aircraft and pilots.
They were all beaten to death. As a result, Halsey Kong, who also discovered the Japanese reconnaissance plane and was ready for an air defense battle, had to wait for a long time.
"If the mountain doesn't come, Muhammad will go. If the mountain doesn't come, Muhammad will go to the mountain." If the Japanese didn't come to beat Halsey, Halsey would come to beat the Japanese. The next day, Halsey sent four
More than a hundred planes were sent to attack the Japanese. Japan was completely beaten
The man became ruthless and gathered all the available aircraft in the country. He gathered more than 1,300 various combat aircraft and planned to fight with the devils! Although he knew the old guy, he slipped away and went to the Philippines to get a traffic.
Hit and run.
However, Halsey did not give up after finishing his mission in the Philippines, and returned to the vicinity of Taiwan. As a result, a large-scale sea and air battle broke out.
When the battle was in full swing, Ron's plane was landing on Saipan. As soon as the plane stopped on the tarmac of Saipan's airport, Ron saw a group of B-29 bombers coming from the airport runway.
Taking off one after another. These planes will fly thousands of kilometers and finally drop 3 tons of bombs on the heads of the Japanese.
"How is the bombing situation lately?" After Ron got off the plane, he asked the officer of the 21st Air Force who came to greet him.
"Ah, it's not going well. The wind in Japan is too strong, and the bombing accuracy is abysmal. Moreover, there are no fighter escorts. For the sake of safety, we can only fly high. Sir, you can guess what we are doing.
Bombing from altitude?" an officer replied.
"I don't know, 7000 meters?" Ron said.
"No, it's a full 8,000-9,000 meters!"
"Flying so high will increase fuel consumption?" Ron asked.
"Yes, so each of our planes can only carry 3 tons of bombs. It's a pity that the bat bombs don't work now, otherwise..."
The group of people walked into the pilot lounge. On a radio here, the voice of "Tokyo Rose" (the female announcer of Japan's broadcast to the United States) was heard: "The base camp sent a good news. In the battle off the coast of Taiwan, we
The heroic Locust troops sank a total of eleven U.S. aircraft carriers, two battleships, and three cruisers.
One cruiser or destroyer, eight aircraft carriers, two battleships, four cruisers, one cruiser or destroyer, thirteen unknown warships were damaged, at least 12 pillars of fire were confirmed, and 112 US military aircraft were shot down. Our losses
