New World War II Eagle Strikes the Sky

() As the lights dimmed, the curtain opened, and the evening performance officially began.However, the performance of the first act made the boys of "Reverse Cross" not quite refreshed.Yes, who wants to see the prince and his mother and his attendants wandering about.Moreover, the ballet is very different from the movies or Broadway musicals that the boys are familiar with. It has no lines at all, and all the plots must be expressed through music and body language.There are directly spoken dialogues in movies, and singing in musicals, but there is no language in ballets.So much so that the boys only saw a few people turning around on the stage, turning around, what was going on, but couldn't understand at all.So some people were so bored that they dozed off.So Ron had to ask them to remind them: Pay attention to your image, don't let the Russians see you as a country bumpkin who doesn't understand art.

The performance of the people in the audience, especially the performance of those beautiful women sitting in the front row, of course the Russians noticed it.But they are used to it now.Of course, not all Americans are country bumpkins who don't understand art, but Americans' taste for art appreciation is obviously different from that of old Europe.Ballet, which is too ivory tower, is far less popular in the United States than in the Soviet Union.

And in general, American soldiers are quite polite.At least not like watching a movie while eating popcorn.

Amidst the dullness, the first act came to an end, and the pilots began to chirp and chat, looking forward to the start of the second act, in which the heroine and other swans were about to enter the stage.

……

Along with the familiar music, the four little swans are dancing on the stage.The first one on the left was Nadya, then Natasha, then... well, that girl, and the name of the girl after that, Ron couldn't quite remember.

While dancing lightly, Nadya scanned the audience below with her eyes.This is what ballerinas must do: make eye contact with the audience.Suddenly, she found a familiar figure in the audience in the front row.

Nadja smiled there, so that the dance movements were affected and slowed down by half a beat.She quickly lowered her eyes, catching up with the beat of her companions.

"Sir Ron, do you see that beautiful woman is smiling at me?" Bang, who was sitting next to Ron, patted Ron, "Well, her movements were a bit slow, she must be fascinated by me After the end of the second act, there is a long period of rest? How about we take advantage of this time to...Look, that beautiful woman smiled at me again." Bang quickly stretched out his right hand and gently pointed at Nadia Shake it.

With the change of dance steps, Nadya jumped to the edge of the stage again, took a moment, she looked towards the place where Ron was doing, and in the rotation, she saw Ron was sitting there, smiling at her .So when the next rotation turned to this side, she also smiled sweetly at Ron, and then she saw a person beside Ron waving at her...

"Nadya, concentrate!" Natasha's voice came from beside her ear.

Nadia was taken aback, quickly collected her thoughts, and danced seriously.

……

The intermission in the second act is relatively long, and the audience can take the opportunity to move around.Ron also left his seat and was about to go to the backstage to have a look - since everyone had recognized him, it was natural to say hello in the past.

The backstage is busy now, some people are busy changing clothes, some people are busy changing the scenery.Most of these people had flown with Ron on the same plane, so they all knew him.So when the busy people passed by him, they all greeted him.

"Hi, General Ron, hello!"

"Hi, General, see you again!"

"Excuse me... Oh, it's you, General! I'm sorry, I'm still busy, I have to get this thing..."

"General, you are here to find Najia. Najia is changing clothes. She will be ready in a while." A voice came from behind.Ron turned his head to see that Natasha, who was wearing a swan costume, was smiling at him.

At this time, the door of the small dressing room next to it opened suddenly. Nadya leaned out half of her body and waved to Ron with a smile on her face: "Ron, are you here to see me? I'll be fine soon." Then she stuck out her little tongue, and immediately retracted, and the door of the dressing room was also closed.

After a while, the door of the dressing room opened slightly, and Nadia, who was dressed in a swan dance costume, poked her head out, looked around, saw many people were looking at her, she lowered her head slightly, It's just that there is a slight redness on the neck.She paused, then came over anyway.

"Keep you waiting long?" Nadya said.

"Not long," said Ron.

"But do you know, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Last time on the plane, you still said..." Najia raised her mouth slightly, as if she was a little dissatisfied.

"Najia, hurry up, it's time for you to play!" someone shouted.

"I'll be right there!" Nadya turned her head and responded, then turned her head and said to Ron, "I'm going there, I'm glad you can come to see me..."

"Nadya, hurry up!"

"Come on, come on!" Nadya turned around and responded again, "I really have to go." She smiled at Ron, turned around and ran over there.After running for two steps, she turned around and smiled at Ron, "We're chatting after the show!" Then she hopped away like a little deer.

……

By the time Ron returned to his seat, the third act had begun for a while, but the seats of Bong and several other pilots were still empty.

"Where did they all go?" Ron asked a pilot next to him softly.

"Sir, they went to buy roses. Just now, Banger and a few perverts sneaked into the backstage, but they were blocked back. But these boys are not giving up. They heard that when the performance is over, all the actors will come out to call the curtain." , so I plan to buy a lot of roses, so that I can go up and give them flowers when the time comes."

Just as he was talking, he saw Bang and two other pilots coming in with two big bags of roses each.By the looks of it, they probably sold out all the roses in every flower shop in the neighborhood.

"Sir Ron, you are really mean." Bang put two big bags of roses at his feet, and sat down.Seeing that Ron was already sitting next to him, he said to Ron, "A person sneaked into the backstage and didn't take us in... Besides, those managers are really shameful, why did they let you in? , but won’t let us in!”

"I know people from this ballet company," Ron replied. "I flew from Russia to America on the same plane as them."

"My God, sir, you actually had such an affair. Flying with such a large group of beauties, well, let me calculate, you should have been flying for several days together? Did you have any romantic stories? Tell us Listen!"

"Bong, don't rush to dig your ass. You'd better lament for yourself!" another pilot interjected, "You were bragging about a beautiful woman winking at you. I'm sure now that you It's just being self-indulgent - they must be winking at Sir Ron!"

"Oh, sir, it's not true? It's too cruel." Bang put on an exaggerated, distressed expression.But this kind of sadness was immediately shattered by his further question: "Boss, what's the name of that girl? How does it taste?... Oh my god, Boss, don't you think you haven't tasted it yet?"

While speaking, he also carefully observed Ron's face. "Looks like it's probably true. Boss, I sympathize with you! After a while, Boss, go up there with flowers, ask her out for a dance, and then have some nasty words, plus one or two small gifts, guaranteed You can deal with her directly, women like these vanity things the most."

"Okay, don't talk too much! Pay attention to the occasion, pay attention to the image, and don't let the Russians see us all like you, who don't understand art!"

……

"You came to the stage to present flowers just now, did you make a mistake?" Nadya walked slowly while walking on the windy boulevard, holding Ron's arm, "It stands to reason that you are the officer leading the team , you should present flowers to the heroine."

"That's your Soviet rule?" said Ron. "Our rule here is to give flowers to whoever wants them. I think you put on the best show. So I'll give you flowers."

"Obviously a lie, or your art appreciation is very poor." Nadya raised her small face and looked at Ron, "I'm not going to get dizzy when I get a few words from others? You want You know, the heroine of our troupe is Ulanova. She is the most outstanding actress since ballet. You can see how well she plays the roles of white swan and black swan. I can barely play white swan. A swan, but I can't find the feeling of a black swan at all." Nadya frowned slightly, her little nose twitching.

Ron couldn't help it, and stretched out his hand to scratch Nadya's little nose: "What are you thinking, you are already very good. When Ulanova was your age, she probably wasn't as good as you."

"Who said that? When Teacher Ulanova was 16 years old, she was already much better than I am now. You haven't seen Teacher Ulanova dance "Death of the Swan". It's so elegant. I If I can have one-third of this look, I will..." Najia's eyes are full of little stars.

"Then you should learn from her." Ron smiled, "I like you, your talent is very good. As for the black swan, you can ask her for the secret."

"Well, I will work hard." Nadya quietly leaned closer to Ron, "You know, Teacher Ulanova said, the secret is: a girl who has never been in a relationship can't play a black swan well..."
