Chapter 298 French Woman

"What are you doing here, ma'am?" Qin Chuan put away his gun.

The French woman couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, glanced at Qin Chuan, and asked instead: "Do you have cigarettes, Lieutenant?"

Qin Chuan touched his pocket, took out a pack of cigarettes, took out a cigarette and handed it over.

The French woman took the cigarette, looked at it, and said with some surprise: "Are you from the battlefield?"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan was stunned: "How did you know?"

The French woman raised the cigarette in her hand, shrugged, and said: "They smoke French cigarettes, and you smoke Egyptian cigarettes!"

The French woman was right. Because of the supply problem of the German army on the Alexandria defense line, a considerable number of soldiers received "Pyramid" cigarettes produced in Egypt.

"You are very observant, ma'am!" Qin Chuan said.

"No!" The French woman shook her head and replied, "I know this because my father is a tobacco merchant!"

"Oh!" Qin Chuan turned around and looked at the dance hall while lighting a cigarette for the French woman, and said, "So..."

"Yes!" The French woman replied, "You guessed it right, my father brought me here, he hopes to get to know more German officers... In other words, I am a card in his hand, or you can say it's a toy in the hands of you Germans!"

Qin Chuan was stunned: "Madam..."

"Then why are you here?" The French woman looked at Qin Chuan in confusion.

"You know!" Qin Chuan replied, "I came down from the battlefield, so..."

"So you don't know how to get along with women?" The French woman couldn't help laughing.

Qin Chuan found that she smiled beautifully, with a faint arc at the corner of her mouth, and with the cigarette in her hand, she had a noble and wild temperament.

At this time, several figures walked out of the lights in the ballroom. The French woman hurriedly threw her cigarette to the ground and said, "Sorry, I'm leaving..."

"Can I help you with anything, ma'am?" Qin Chuan asked.

The French woman looked at Qin Chuan, unconsciously held Qin Chuan's hand when she passed by him, and shook her head with regret: "I really hope you can help me with something, but you can't, Lieutenant!"

It is obvious that she can identify military ranks from military uniforms, which may also be taught by her father.

The French woman adjusted her hat, wiped her eyes quickly, tried to make herself happier, and then walked towards the ballroom, leaving only a few special perfumes around Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan turned around and planned to continue to enjoy his quietness along the path, but suddenly, he found that he could no longer calm down.

At this time, Qin Chuan saw a handkerchief on a chair by the path, and there was also a faint perfume smell near the handkerchief.

"Lieutenant!" At this time, Qin Chuan heard Colonel Slaine's call.

"I'm here!" Qin Chuan replied, and after walking a few steps, he hurriedly turned back and picked up the handkerchief.

"Where have you been?" Colonel Slain asked, "General Oxter is here!"

"Oh!" Qin Chuan replied, "I was just walking around!"

Under the lights of the ballroom, Qin Chuan recognized the French woman without much effort. She was dancing on the dance floor with a very sunny smile on her face, and she was talking to the colonel's partner from time to time. If Qin Chuan hadn't known that she had just cried secretly in the park, he would have believed that her smile was real.

The French woman obviously saw Qin Chuan, and the smile on her face became a little unnatural.

At the end of the song, when the French woman passed by Qin Chuan, Qin Chuan took out a handkerchief and said, "Madam, this is your handkerchief!"

"Oh, yes!" The French woman's eyes were a little flustered. She took the handkerchief and whispered, "Thank you!"

"You don't have to force yourself!" Qin Chuan said, "Can I ask you to dance?"

The French woman was stunned, and then secretly winked at Qin Chuan, as if to say, "Are you crazy? Didn't you see the colonel next to you?"

"What did you say, Lieutenant?" The colonel looked at Qin Chuan with an incredible expression.

"Can't you see?" Qin Chuan asked instead of answering: "She doesn't like you!"

The German colonel was stunned for a moment, then he laughed. When he stopped laughing, he said to Qin Chuan in a threatening tone: "Get out of here, or I'll have someone throw you out!"

"Oh, really?" Qin Chuan looked at the colonel without giving in and asked: "Are you sure?"

At this time, several crisp cups sounded, and Major General Oxter stood on the stage and shouted loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome Colonel Slaine and Lieutenant Frick from the First Infantry Regiment!"

Colonel Slaine brought a glass of wine to Qin Chuan, and the two raised their glasses to pay tribute to the audience.

Major General Oxter introduced: "Colonel Slaine led the First Infantry Regiment from the sky to capture Algiers for the Empire. Let us toast to his victory and the bravery of the First Infantry Regiment..."

The officers cheered loudly and raised their glasses to Colonel Slaine.

"Lieutenant Frick!" Major General Oxter paused for a moment, then continued, "You may be more familiar with his other name... 'Legendary Sergeant'!"

With a roar, everyone turned their attention to Qin Chuan, including the French woman and the colonel.

"Yes!" Major General Oxter continued, "He is the 'legendary sergeant' who repeatedly defeated the British, he is the anti-aircraft gun that frightened the enemy armored division, and he is the one who captured the entire Toulon fleet... Lieutenant Frick! Let us pay high tribute to his achievements and legends!"

With a "wow", thunderous applause suddenly rang out in the ballroom, and officers came forward to shake hands with Qin Chuan from time to time:

"Great achievement, Lieutenant!"

"You are my idol, Lieutenant!"

...

Qin Chuan raised his glass to the colonel and said, "Colonel, where were we talking about just now?"

The colonel couldn't help but feel embarrassed. After thinking about it, he replied, "Sorry, Lieutenant, I didn't know it was you!"

He glanced at the French woman and walked away angrily.

Qin Chuan shrugged at the French woman and said, "Sorry, I scared your dance partner away!"

The French woman laughed: "So, you are the 'legendary sergeant'?"

"That's what they call me!"

"You captured an entire fleet?"

"No!" Qin Chuan replied: "I haven't even been to Toulon!"

"Who cares!" The French woman invited Qin Chuan to the dance floor...

"What are you doing?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Of course I'm dancing!" The French woman replied.

"But I can't dance!"

The French woman stared at Qin Chuan with her eyes wide open: "But you invited me just now!"

"That's just..." Qin Chuan looked at the colonel on the other side and said, "I just want to rescue you!"
