Chapter 793 – Yesterday Revisited

Standing outside the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Hepburn looked at the flow of people with a curious face, the scene here still left her very surprised, not as backward as imagined.

Not far away, Radovich with a finger guidance, half a minute later appeared in front of Hepburn, “is Miss Hepburn? My boss sent me to pick you up.”

“Who are you?” Audrey Hepburn’s eyes behind her sunglasses were full of vigilance, she had followed her mother to England at an early age and was not a young girl to be coaxed at will.

“Yes, like this.” Radovich took out a gold coin and waved it in front of Audrey Hepburn, then said, “Can you trust me now?”

The gold coin was not sold well, and it could even be said that the craftsmanship was poor, but Hepburn instantly recognized that it was something from Alan Wilson, as she also had one.

This batch of Roman gold coins unearthed from the Hawksin Treasure, Allen Wilson also left two of them behind, which were originally used for pretending to use. But then he also gave one to Hepburn. Radwick took out this one gold coin and it was immediately recognized by Hepburn.

Not long after, Hepburn entered an old Mercedes Benz and disappeared into the crowd of the international airport.

“I didn’t expect the flights to this place to be slow and busy.” Hepburn was like a curious baby, looking around through the car window and kept talking about what she had seen and heard along the way.

“A group of officers have recently come over from the country because of the expansion of the garrison. The additional garrison will come after the year, while the officer class came first by flight with their families, and I have arranged a piece of residence for them.”

Alan Wilson listened and then explained to Hepburn the reason for the recent busy flights to Malaya. The people from the command structure arrived first, put up the skeleton, and when the large number of soldiers came, they could immediately form a fighting force.

This is also a tricky approach, in fact, such an approach is also used in the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union has a four-tier mobilization system, derived from Prussia, in which the first two levels of full and short of divisions, respectively, in the front line in Europe and the depth of the territory of Eastern Europe.

More like the current British Army in Malaysia, the Soviet Union, except for the first two types of troops, had shelf divisions that were generally placed in reserve in the Far East.

There are one hundred and three Soviet shelf divisions, and while all command structures at company level and above in the shelf divisions are filled, and there are enough men to maintain the equipment in the stockpile, there are only one-third as many soldiers as in the full divisions.

The peacetime manning ratios of shelf divisions limit them to company-level training only, unless reservists are mobilized.

A number of lower-ranking rack divisions needed to call up 10,000 reservists to be mobilized. Even in these divisions, independent tactical missile battalions were fully staffed. It takes six days to mobilize reservists, though training takes more time, after which the division is ready for combat.

The Soviet rack divisions, though usually short of personnel, were not short of heavy equipment and could be pulled into action after training.

The expansion of the British Army in Malaya was modeled after the shelf divisions, with a bunch of weapons shipped over to be placed in warehouses in Malaya. But it is estimated that the expanded establishment is very large, but the personnel? Only people come over to know.

With Britain’s population of fifty million people, but now there are eight hundred thousand active military personnel, in fact, has been close to the limit of the United Kingdom usually can be maintained, in proportion to the size of the British army is still more than the United States. In that ratio, China would have to maintain eight million troops year-round.

The fact is also exactly the same, London can not squeeze out more military power to put into the Far East, so this time the real fact of expanding the Malayan garrison is, expanding the equipment of the Far East Operations Command, and then put a shelf division framework, really something happened from the Middle East Combined Operations Command’s forces transferred to Malaya to directly apply the existing equipment to fight.

“Originally, this is not safe here?” Hepburn is actually not interested, but still have this question.

“Be prepared.” Alan Wilson smiled and explained to Hepburn, today Hepburn’s dress is very eye-catching. It was definitely a mistake to think that Hepburn could only play princesses which was definitely a mistake, Hepburn’s performance in Dinner at Tiffany’s showed that she could also play bimbo protagonists.

Holding the steering wheel, Radwicky continued to drive without slanting his eyes, with a look of I’m a professional, and sighed in his heart that it was awesome.

Northern Rhodesia and Allen Wilson had a deep fit, and he had come over specifically to serve the Imperial Commissioner himself, and the fellowship of the Mountbatten Group did not occur.

But at this moment, he only wanted to say a word of admiration, the boss of this service are from where to find such a beautiful woman. Do outside the colorful flags flying?

Soon the sedan drove to the residential area that was arranged, the scenery here is quite good, the visibility and location are very good, and you can also come out for a walk in your leisure time.

Alan Wilson dragged the luggage, and Hepburn went in together, this will be Hepburn’s residence here, the room among the furnishings are all as far as the eye can see, especially let Hepburn satisfied that does not look too empty.

Interested in a circle, long-distance flight jet lag problem, let Hepburn a little drowsy, have Alan Wilson in the side, Hepburn also unloaded the heart of the defense, put down the luggage, put the clothes inside the closet, in a short while has fallen asleep.

She opened her eyes and saw the bookshelf above his book has been lost as a yellow crane, including the English poet Wordsworth, Keats and Shelley’s complete works, hand read the Candleberry stories, Shakespeare’s complete works, Fei Zijie Luo and Ernest Hemingway.

Looking over toward the shelves, she saw neat rows of books by Amistad, each offering the promise of self-study.

Her knees were wobbly from the long flight combined with an empty stomach as she crossed the room toward the closet.

God, she prayed silently while pulling open the closet door. As usual, to the left were her dresses, skirts and blouses. But the man’s shirt and shorts were gone, except for a white shirt that was frayed and soiled at the seams. Two of his twill suit tops with patch sleeves, an extra pair of leather shoes, his clothes, and his somewhat worn briefcase were also gone.

A discarded white shirt, hanging alone and open for all to see, brought her to tears. She forced the tears back with a hard push, then took a step or two toward their dresser. But she couldn’t bring herself to open his drawers, because she wouldn’t be able to stand it if she couldn’t find any trace of what she had left with him.

“Awake, sooner than I expected.” Alan Wilson walked in, beaming as he watched the sleeping beauty rise.

“I thought you were going to do something bad to me.” Hepburn’s nice side face turned to Alan Wilson, seemingly like a proud peacock, “I didn’t expect to be such a gentleman?”

“It also depends on who you are facing. To your words, still can’t bear to blaspheme.” Alan Wilson was like a changed person, not quite the same as usual, the corrupt and backward Great Britain simply did not understand the advanced nature of a man’s three wives and four concubines.

“Somewhat hungry!” Hepburn pitifully opened his mouth, “Not to delay your time, right, you are the commissioner here, in addition to official business, private time is not much, right.”

“To whom!” Alan Wilson got up and walked out of the room three steps at a time, and before long there was a clanking movement from the kitchen.

It wasn’t long before Hepburn was leaning on the kitchen doorway in a man’s shirt, watching the man go about his business, the apartment was fully equipped for all basic needs, and music to relieve his boredom when he was upset.

“Even though I personally know everything and consider myself well educated, it seems like I’m still a little underprepared. Deal with it!” Alan Wilson turned to Hepburn with slices of bread, plus the sausage he had prepared earlier, and greeted her as she sat down to eat.

“I see you keep your camera handy, I thought it was your favorite thing to take pictures.” Hepburn ate her food vaguely and opened her mouth without any goddess demeanor, “Is this your personal hobby.”

“Of course!” Alan Wilson replied dryly, his collection was quite generous, if it was leaked out, under the enthusiasm of the entire world’s male compatriots, he would surely die without a burial place.

For an official like him, this hobby was quite risky, but in life, there must be some pursuit.

The two of them were cozily enjoying the world of two, but the sky was unlucky enough to rain. This made Allen Wilson, the Imperial Commissioner, a little surprised, it rarely rained at this time of the year.

But for him and Hepburn, the rain had a special significance, and the important external condition for the two to come together was a rare downpour when they went to Scotland, contributing to the new interpretation of the newspaper.

Apparently, the sudden downpour also reminded Hepburn of the royal family, and her demure face began to flush a little.

Soon enough, Hepburn knew it wasn’t her own mediocrity, as a pair of strong arms wrapped around her, and Hepburn’s petite frame was surrounded by a broad, warm chest, a stark contrast to the overcast rain outside.

“You still haven’t changed a bit, always taking advantage of times like this.” Hepburn grumbled with a slight narrowing of her eyes.

Responding to her was Allen Wilson’s fiber-optic-like enthusiastic response, which seemed to speak of longing to see each other for a long time.

The life of the imperial commissioner is so simple and boring, nothing more than that everyone knows, at this moment to explain also can not be explained, should have long been in love and make up for the missed night of the flowers and moon. So other people do not need to know.

After a long time, embracing each other’s two people seem to feel each other’s heartbeat, two people are how to attract each other? And how did they become not wanting to leave each other, it was all a question without a source.

“Is it possible to stay for a day?” Four eyes met and Hepburn cupped the head of the man in front of her expectantly.

“No problem, who could refuse Hepburn’s invitation? Not me anyway!” Alan Wilson agreed without reluctance, about him coming out in the name of inspecting the Isthmus of Krakow, it could only be said that there was foresight, the preparation of the master of time management was never adequate and flawless.
