Chapter 86 Gathering the Stars
The next morning, Josie and his party appeared at the Army Aviation Military Airport.

In addition to the six bodyguards and Linden's white gloves, there was also a blonde beauty in green clothes.

Needless to say, this woman is naturally Ophelia.

It's just that it's different from the flying figure when we first met, Ophelia now looks listless and gloomy.

Those who didn't know thought what a vicious thing Josie had done to this woman.

Well, putting a shock collar with a detonating device on someone that can't be removed is pretty nasty.

After knowing the function of this collar, Ophelia felt bad all over.

That is to say, Josie didn't tell her that a miniature bomb was implanted in the back of her head, double insurance.

Otherwise, this woman would probably be even more gloomy.

The plane that Josie was flying this time was the DC-3 that Josie was very familiar with. To be precise, it was its military modified version C-47.

The English Channel is only more than 300 miles away, which is nothing compared to DC's [-]-mile voyage.

After the start of World War II, except for a small amount of civilian use, most of the DC-3s were purchased by the military as transport aircraft. It was the largest type of aircraft used by the army for airdrops and transportation during World War II.

The U.S. airborne troops also use it.

After about two hours of flight, the plane landed at the field airport outside the city of Caen in northern France.

After getting off the plane, you can still hear the sound of artillery fire from time to time in the distance, and you can also see the fleet of aircraft flying by from time to time in the sky.

Regardless of the fact that it is already the end of July, more than a month and nearly two months have passed since the landing battle.

But the Allied positions in France are still very dangerous.

After all, France is only the size of a palm, and the Normandy landing zone is only about [-] kilometers away from Paris.

In this distance, more than 400 million troops of the Allied and German troops were crowded, intertwined with each other.

The depth of the Allied forces in the French region was still less than one hundred kilometers. For the city of Caen in front of them, the Allied forces fought for a full 33 days, and the entire city was almost reduced to ruins, and the German army had to withdraw.

The Allied Front Command moved to the outskirts of Caen, just last week.

And in the city of Saint-Lo, which is less than [-] kilometers west of Caen, the famous General Patton personally led the deployment and captured the city just a few days ago.

But generally speaking, the German army has begun to be defeated across the board, and it is only a matter of time before France recovers.

"Mr. Kahn?" Not long after Josie and his party got off the plane, three jeeps sped up in the distance, and soon stopped not far away. A lieutenant colonel jumped out of the car and asked them.

Mainly the entire military airport, only Josie and his group are wearing suits and leather shoes, so easy to recognize.

"It's me, what's my name?" Josie asked politely, reaching out her hand.

"I'm Mark, General McGinnis' adjutant, he asked me to pick you up!" The lieutenant colonel shook hands with Josie.

As the bright lamp medicine was purchased and used in large quantities by the military, and it played a huge role during the landing battle, the original matter of General McGinnis being forced to retire naturally disappeared, but at the beginning there was no implementation in the army There is no shortage, so there is no new appointment, just a idle position in the general headquarters.

But just a few days ago, a ridiculous thing happened.

On July 7th, the first step of the famous Cobra plan of the Allied Forces, in the carpet bombing of the German positions, he was the most unlucky general in World War II. The commander of an army group, Lieutenant General Leslie James McNair, was directly hit by a bomb from his own bomber and was blown into a pile of stumps.

Coincidentally, McGinnis was the commander of the First Army before he was dismissed, and McNair was his successor after he was dismissed.

So it can only be said that God is helping McGinnis... Under the same circumstances, who is more suitable to be the commander of the first group than him, the old chief?
absolutely not.

As for General Courtney Hodges, who took over this position in history, he was only the second in command of the first group before, and he was no match for McGinnis in terms of qualifications or prestige.

So General McGinnis directly reinstated his post cheerfully.

For Josie, investing in General McGinnis has become the most successful investment since he came to Europe.

McGinnis, who has returned to his old position, will be promoted to the rank of admiral, which is appropriate.

As for the five-star general, don't even think about it, it's impossible.

Take Patton, the commander of the Third Army next door.

In the previous life, many people complained about Patton on the Internet, thinking that he should also get the rank of a five-star general.

But as long as you learn more about the requirements of a five-star general, you will know that Barton is indeed not qualified for this.

Because one of the necessary conditions to become a five-star general is that he must have served as the commander-in-chief of the theater during the war... Obviously, it is impossible for Patton, who was promoted to general with other army commanders just before the end of the war, to have this qualification.

McGinnis is naturally impossible.

But being able to have an ally at the general level in the army is enough for Josie.

Because the city of Caen was almost in ruins, and the city was relatively easy to become a bombing target, the frontline headquarters of the Allied forces was not in the city, but in a manor in the jungle more than ten kilometers away from the city.

After arriving at the headquarters and handing over their weapons, Josie and his party, led by Lieutenant Colonel Mark, arrived at McGinnis' office unimpeded.

"Josie, welcome to France!" Seeing Josie walking into the office, McGinnis immediately stood up and gave Josie a warm hug.

"Congratulations too, the officer has returned to his post. I came in a hurry, and I didn't have time to prepare a gift, so I can only use this box of cigars to express my heart!" After hugging, Josie took out a box of cigars without any logo from his pocket.

"Hahaha, Josie, you are too polite, there is no need to be so polite between us!" Although McInnis said not to be polite, he still took the cigar cheerfully.

Don't look at this cigar without any marks, it seems to be a Sanwu product.

But McGinnis, who is already familiar with Josie, knows that the more "three no products" in Josie's hands, the better it is, just like his wines.

In fact, this is indeed the case, because these things are tributes made by Daenerys's best craftsmen with the best materials, and the amount that can be given to Josie is extremely limited, and it is impossible to sell them out of.

"By the way, why did you come to the front line all of a sudden? Although the German army has been defeated, it is still very dangerous, and it is not suitable for you to do business." After exchanging pleasantries, McGinnis asked.

"This is Ophelia Sarkistan, from Austria. We have a very important matter and want to see General Marshall!" Josie first introduced Ophelia, and then told about Austria's preparation for a coup d'état. speak eloquently.

"Is she trustworthy?" After hearing what Josie said, McGinnis' face became very serious. He ignored Ophelia, but pulled Josie aside and asked.

"As far as this matter is concerned, she is trustworthy. I have confirmed the authenticity of this matter through other channels!" Josie nodded.

After listening to Josie's assurance, McGinnis did not speak, but kept pacing back and forth in the office.

After all, this matter is very important, but if there is a little fake, the Allies may suffer a lot of unnecessary losses!

And once this matter fails, McGinnis, as the referrer, will also bear most of the responsibility.

After thinking about it for several minutes, General McGinnis clapped his hands and decided to gamble with Josie.

It can be said that Josie contributed a lot to his being able to return to his original position. In that case, why not continue to gamble?
Anyway, if he lost the bet, for a person of his level, he would lose his official title.

For McGinnis, who has already lost his official hat once, is this a big deal?
"You wait here, I'll report to General Marshall!" After thinking clearly, McGinnis urged Josie, and then walked out of the office in a hurry.

Then, after Josie and his party drank tea in McGinnis's office for nearly two hours, a colonel officer came in and called Josie and Ophelia.

Under the guidance of the colonel, the two walked around for a long time before entering a spacious conference room.

Dude, star-studded.

At that moment, a thought came to Josie's mind. If a bomb with enough power was thrown into this conference room, what would World War II look like?
　It was released on the first day, and the results were unexpectedly good. The first order was 4650. This is the best result since Xiaochen wrote the book. I am very touched, and thank you very much for your support!
　　thank you so much!
