Chapter 257 Preparations before Retreat

After finally calming Catherine down, she was about to get up when she suddenly felt a pain in her body. She couldn't help but groaned, then rolled her eyes at Lu Cheng: "It's all your fault. How can I go home today?"

"Don't forget, I'm a doctor, the best doctor."

Lu Cheng has ready-made medicinal powder for promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and relieving pain in his cross-border backpack.

After Catherine recovered, Lu Cheng took out a jade bottle with exquisite workmanship and patterns carved on the surface and handed it to Catherine: "Catherine, you are already my woman, I have an important gift for you."

"What is this? A beautiful jeweled bottle?"

"The most important thing is the medicine in this bottle. Do you know why I can become a super soldier?"

"Is it because of the medicine in this bottle?"

"That's right, but not entirely. In fact, our Lu family is also an ancient family with a history of more than 2,000 years. As early as more than 200 years ago, when China was still called "Han", my ancestor Lu Jia was the most trusted minister of His Majesty the Emperor... More than 200 years ago, my ancestor served as the Grand Marshal of the Wu Kingdom. Under the order of the King of Wu, he led the 50,000 troops of Wu and defeated the army of Shu..."

When you are out there in the world, you give yourself an identity. If you don't give yourself a powerful background, how can you scare others?

What's more, as a Chinese, whose ancestors didn't have wealth?

Lu Cheng just said it casually, and maybe some of it is true.

Regardless of whether Catherine believed it or not, Lu Cheng believed it himself, and he said it so sincerely.

"In the more than 2,000 years of historical inheritance, our Lu family has continued to grow and has its own heritage treasure, which is a set of valuable prescriptions for strengthening the body. It is precisely because of the prescriptions that I have been taking medicinal baths since I was a child, and my physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people.

As for the bottle in my hand, it is the concentrated essence of the prescription. This small bottle of pills alone consumes a lot of precious medicines and is priceless. You only need to take one pill every day and keep exercising, and your physical fitness will be significantly improved. Of course, if you want to achieve the same effect as me, you need to start exercising and taking medicinal baths from a young age. "

Catherine was obviously frightened by Lu Cheng's words. She took the jade bottle with great care and said, "Lu, thank you. This is the best gift I have ever received. When I return to India, I will write to you and send you a telegram."

"So will I. I have another gift for you."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng took out an exquisitely shaped diamond necklace. On the necklace was a huge pink diamond that sparkled dazzlingly.

There is no woman who doesn't like gems, diamonds and other shiny things.

Even though Catherine was the daughter of a noble family, it was the first time she had seen such a large diamond. She was immediately attracted by the treasure in front of her: "Lu, this is too valuable. Do you really want to give it to me?"

This large diamond necklace was collected from Africa by Lu Cheng's men when he was a chief in the world of "The Blade of the Assassin". It was carefully carved thousands of times by skilled craftsmen before it became such a rare treasure.

No matter which world it is placed in, it is a priceless treasure.

There are many treasures like this in Lu Cheng’s storage space.

"Catherine, no matter how valuable the treasure is, it is not as important as you in my heart. It is not as precious as your heart that loves me."

"I love you so much, darling."

From this point on, Catherine no longer had any complaints.

If such a priceless treasure is presented to the Queen of England, one can at least get the title of baron, or even higher.

But Lu Cheng gave it to Catherine so unceremoniously, how could Catherine not be moved?

I have to say that as long as you are rich enough, almost all the problems in the world are not problems.

"Lu, I really don't want to leave you."

"Me too."

"Lu, I want more..."

"It doesn't hurt anymore?"

“Your medicine works well…”

After another round of trouble, Catherine was finally dealt with. It was already eight or nine o'clock in the morning.

When the two of them were dressed and walked out of the house, Long Wenjian and others were already waiting at the airport gate.

Seeing Lu Cheng finally appear, Long Wenjian and the others laughed and joked: "Congratulations, Captain. Conquering a foreign girl and strengthening ties with allies can be considered as winning glory for the country."

"congratulations."

"One by one, smiling and joking, have you packed up all your things?"

"We have packed everything up long ago, and are just waiting for the battalion commander to return in triumph."

"Alright, alright. This may be the last time you get to enjoy the British lunch. Eat as much as you can. When you're full, I'll take you home."

"Yes! Battalion Commander!"

Everything was arranged after the last battle, and the soldiers were ready.

At 46: in the morning, two C transport planes and six fighter jets landed at the airport at the same time, and Catherine was about to leave.

Before leaving, Catherine hugged Lu Cheng tightly and said, "Don't worry, dear. After arriving in India, I will report everything to the Allied Command as soon as possible, so that you and your men will get everything you deserve."

"Then I'll wait for your good news."

"Remember to send me a telegram, and I'll have someone send you a telegraph machine later."

Somehow, Lu Cheng suddenly had a very strange feeling. Why did the young lady have a bit of the aura of a domineering boss?

After seeing Catherine off, Lu Cheng and his soldiers said goodbye to all the British at the airport and prepared to evacuate.

After seeing Lu Cheng and Catherine coming out of the same room, Colonel William became more polite to Lu Cheng: "Lu, we will also evacuate the airport this afternoon. We have some heavy equipment that we can't take away and we are going to destroy it. You and your soldiers can go and take a look. If there is anything you can take away, just take it away."

"Thank you very much, Colonel."

"Lu, if you consider me a friend, I don't mind you calling me Old William."

"Of course, we are already friends, William."

"Very good. Come to England when you have time. I will treat you to the delicious food of the British Empire."

"Perhaps, you can try Chinese food first, and then consider whether to extend such an invitation."

Before leaving, Lu Cheng went to the airport's armory again and took away two 3.7-inch mountain field guns, four three-inch (actually 3.2 inches, 81 mm) mortars, and twelve 2-inch small mortars.

The British Army's 2-inch small mortar was only slightly larger than the Japanese grenade launcher and was very convenient to carry.

A mortar team consisting of two soldiers can carry 9 shells, which are more powerful and have a better range than the Japanese grenade launcher. It is also a very good weapon, with a convenient way to carry, which is very suitable for special operations.

Today, the twelve cubic meters of space are filled with various guns, artillery, bullets, shells, grenades, as well as canned food and medicines.

The two field howitzers look very large, but their actual size is not that large; the space occupied by the two wheels is just a little larger.

The volume of a mortar shell is actually not that big if you exclude the space inside the barrel, which is just a layer of steel pipe.

The most important thing Lu Cheng brought with him was bullets. The soldiers were not short of guns, but bullets. A bullet weighed more than 10 to 20 grams, and a ton of bullets meant tens of thousands of bullets.

Lu Cheng casually carried several tons of bullets, which was three or four hundred thousand rounds, enough for a battalion of soldiers, with one thousand rounds per person.

Even if it was a regiment of soldiers, each person would get two to three hundred rounds of ammunition on average...
