Chapter 107
Chapter 107
Rafael finally fell asleep smelling the milk on his body after milking Louis once.
But he wasn't sure because of what he saw before his eyes.
Sandy beach, ocean waves, windproof candles in the shape of a heart, Eva with a rose in her hand gives a passionate kiss to a man with funny Lennon hair and tortoiseshell glasses.
Everything is so romantic.
Well, the premise is that we don't laugh at the funny sense brought by the "sense of the times".
Raphael didn't find it funny or romantic, he just looked at the funny man.
"At this point, like any young Englishman, his idol was John Lennon. He actually played the guitar pretty well."
Raphael stepped on the soft sand, the soft white sand, the sea breeze in the night, and the young Lieutenant Hughes put on his coat for the beauty he liked in the flickering candlelight.
"It's October of '79, the beach in Barcelona. Hughes is here for vacation."
"This is their second date. If judged by human morality, your mother should be condemned for abandoning the child. But as you know, she was raped at the age of 16 and gave birth to your sister. Then he was targeted by Javier's father - he was a local gangster who, luckily or unfortunately, died a few weeks ago."
"Your father was still a young and promising lieutenant at this time. His excellence made him quickly selected for the SAS and was soon selected to serve in Afghanistan. This is his vacation. His 'love' with your mother began Because of appearance. And misfortune also stems from this."
"Your mother likes Lieutenant Hughes, whether it's his appearance or his gentleman, for your mother, respect, proper distance, and fierce pursuit are all she desires. Of course, the most important thing is She longed for your father to take her out of Argentina and get rid of everything."
Raphael has always had a question in his mind, why did Hughes and Eva come together?
Why would an Argentinian get involved with an Englishman?
Hughes had never been stationed there before the Falklands War. In fact, the Falklands in the minds of the Argentines was just an important supply point in the eyes of the British, but now it is a burden.
The British government has been considering how to return the Falklands to Argentina in a situation acceptable to the residents of the islands-at least, before the war began.
Now the question in Raphael's heart has finally been answered.
Not Argentina, not Falklands, it turned out to be in Spain - one of the favorite holiday destinations of the British.
"Your mother works here, a tango dancer. This has gained her some popularity and attracted the attention of some customers."
"I think, you should want to see this scene, this is the day you were conceived."
"Judging by the standards of human beings, you are the crystallization of their love-although love is fleeting, the rose will eventually wither."
The kissing couple had already walked away side by side, and Raphael stopped in place and looked at their backs.
He has experienced the virtual space countless times, but this time is different, he has touched the reality, and also touched a different time and space.
The next moment, everything in front of him changed. Raphael looked at the nurse in white nurse uniform, and heard the faint groaning sound. He turned around and suddenly found himself in an obstetrics ward. In front of the operating room.
"As a professional soldier, it is unfortunate that your father was still in Afghanistan on the day you were born."
When the faint cry came, "Rabbit" said: "You were born in England. St. Mary's Hospital in London. According to British law, you can obtain British nationality."
In the next moment, Raphael saw Eva and himself.
Different from the imaginary red-skinned monkey, although he was just born wrinkled with amniotic fluid and couldn't open his eyes, he was white and chubby, a little silly and cute - this is Rafael's own evaluation.
But Eva smiled reluctantly when she took the baby from the nurse and sent blessings and praises.
"You read "The Little Prince" to Louis, and your mother Eva is the little prince's rose. She is delicate, needs sunshine, watering, is afraid of the wind, and hates weeds. When the filter of love fades away, what you want is difficult. Get it, she can't control her own nature. She knows that she and Hughes will eventually be separated if this goes on. But this is not what she wants. "
Raphael looked at the child in Eva's arms. At this moment, he did not remain silent, but asked the "rabbit" a question for the first time.
"What about her and the current child?"
It's hard for him not to question, not to be jealous, what he, Veronica, and Javier didn't get, why did that woman give that child?
She even kept her mouth shut for him!
"Because she met a prince who held her in his palm, cared for her rose quietly, and was not afraid of being hurt by her flowers. Love exists, and everything is so beautiful. When love disappears, the world ceases to exist. I don't understand your human love, just like you are my host, but I also don't understand you."
"You have been acting on occasion, but you have never been infatuated. But when you were young, you also had nocturnal emissions, and you had the object of desire in your dreams. Rafa, you also have the ability to love. "
"Actually, I also really want to know—when you finally meet love one day, will you be a rose or a little prince?"
Raphael regretted it.
He shouldn't talk to him!
But the next moment he was stunned, because Hughes with unshaven beard, messy blond hair, and stitch marks on his forehead appeared in his vision, and the world seemed to be paused at this moment.
"This is July 1980, 7, in Barcelona. Your mother hated the continuous rain in the British summer and insisted on taking you back to Barcelona after being discharged from the hospital. Your father finally returned from Afghanistan."
"In December 1979, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, and you know everything after that better than anyone else. You have always wanted to find out the mission he performed at that time, and now I can answer it for you."
"The mission was divided into two stages. In the first stage, Lieutenant Hughes of the Special Forces was sent to Afghanistan alone to collect intelligence secretly and establish a training camp. In the second stage, he did not perform it, which made him punished. In fact, he is now To be able to come back to see you is also subject to special approval."
"What's the second mission?"
"It is to teach the local gangsters and teach them military skills, including assassination, kidnapping, rape and other methods. In the future, this place will become the cradle of terrorism and the cemetery of the empire. Bin Laden is also one of the students."
"So this mission wasn't all done by Tom Carew?"
"Everything I know is obtained from your father and verified in MI6. In fact, all the pictures you see now are all from memory. I can't create everything out of thin air, I don't have such ability .”
Raphael looked at Hughes who couldn't hide his joy even though he was in a "frozen" state.
He had known for a long time that they were so imaginative.
But even in his dream, he never dreamed of Hughes with such a look.
The camera moved, Hughes dropped the bag he was carrying, and walked upstairs quickly, Raphael followed behind him-he had discovered that any of his actions would not be noticed.
Hughes called Eva's name, his voice was not loud, as if he was worried about waking up the sleeping baby.
Fortunately, the house was not big, so he found Raphael who was lying on the crib alone.
"This is your first meeting."
Raphael ignored everything "Rabbit" said.
He only had Hughes in his eyes. He watched Hughes look at Rafa who was sucking his fingers in surprise, and gently rubbed Rafa's small face with his fingers, and murmured almost choked up " Oh, God".
The little Rafa slapped his hand away like a slap, and Hughes laughed "puchi", but sprayed out a snot bubble, which made him wipe his face quickly, but felt that it was too dirty, so he He rushed to the bathroom, washed his hands and came out.
He even washed his face after coming out again, which made him almost greedy. While shouting "My little angel", he put his face close to little Rafa's face, and finally felt wet on his face For a moment, he immediately laughed, "Oh my god, baby, you kissed daddy!"
Rafa, who was still lying on the bed, waved his little hands and patted him. Hughes closed his eyes and enjoyed his son's "treat". He is a little guy with unlimited vitality and couldn't be healthier.
He was like this, almost thinking about it, not only in front of his son's toys, but also playing with his son's little hands and feet.
Raphael watched this scene quietly.
Lieutenant Hughes became nervous only when little Rafa started crying. He seemed to be missing something—he found out that the child's mother was not here.
Hughes took a deep breath and checked his son's diaper first. The moment he opened it, a parabola came towards him.
"Your shooting is obviously very accurate at 1 month old." "Rabbit" said.
"To shut up!"
Hughes pulled out his shirt in embarrassment and wiped his face, then simply threw the clothes aside, revealing the scars on his body.
Raphael is very familiar with all this.
He can even determine how each trace was formed.
"My little angel, your shot is too accurate, but next time Dad calls Shoot, can you pee again? Be a good boy."
Lieutenant Hughes' hands that could assemble any gun flexibly, adjusted his son's diaper clumsily, and looked around the room at the same time, as if looking for other items.
But the scene began to repeat, and before Raphael asked, "Rabbit" said: "There is no doubt that he loves you."
"It wasn't the last time he saw you. But after this time, he and Eva had their first violent argument - because of you. Hughes thought she was not taking good care of the baby and wanted her to return to the UK with you, and he had someone come Take care of you, but Eva refused. Because she wants to get Spanish citizenship, after 2 years of residence, she can get Spanish citizenship."
"She already thinks there will be endless arguments between her and Hughes, she doesn't like England, she doesn't like England, she doesn't speak English, she doesn't want to live there. She doesn't like Hughes' career, she hates it Get together less and leave more."
"Every argument you can imagine going on between a couple, it exploded between them."
"Lieutenant Hughes had to put his head down because he risked being court-martialed for disobedience. Fortunately or unfortunately, he was picked up by 'C'[1], then Chief of British Intelligence. Thanks to his experience in Afghanistan task—at least the first part of it he performed was pretty flawless."
"Lieutenant Hughes, who was unwilling to join the Military Intelligence Bureau in order not to go to the military court, could only agree to be temporarily seconded to the Intelligence Bureau."
"During this period, the relationship between your parents improved slightly, because Eva finally got Spanish citizenship, and she felt a little bit more secure, which helped their relationship a little bit. But I suggest you understand that this is because They get together less and leave more, so there is no time for conflicts."
"After the outbreak of the Falklands War, your father thought he had found an opportunity to leave the military intelligence system, so he applied to return to the navy."
"The President of Argentina hopes to use the Falklands War to divert the attention of the people at home, and Mrs. Thatcher also thinks so. The former teammates of Lieutenant Hughes SAS are on the front line to seize the island, because in this short period of time, it is considered to be post-World War II. After the biggest naval battle, your father was awarded the Victoria Cross for his outstanding performance. This is the first time anyone has been awarded this medal after World War II."
"Unfortunately, it was also the Falklands War that broke the relationship between your parents. Argentines have a strong national pride that I can't understand. Even though your mother wanted Spanish citizenship, she couldn't accept her son. His father was decorated in this war."
"She didn't allow him to see you. She returned to Argentina for that."
"You were 2 years old at the time. But you couldn't call daddy yet."
"Four months later, the official record, Lieutenant 'Albert Anthony Hughes', died saving someone. He was only 4 years old. The real reason was that he was targeted by the KGB."[26]
The author has something to say:
?
[1] Director C: C is the code name. The signature of the first director of the British Intelligence Agency is C, which later became the code name of successive directors.
[2] KGB: The National Security Council, commonly known as the "KGB", was the intelligence agency of the Soviet Union during the period and was considered to be the most efficient intelligence collection agency in the world at the time.After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the former KGB agency in Russia was restructured into the Russian Federal Security Service.
"Rabbit" said: The reason why Rafa is the current Rafa is because of his experience.The reason why Colonel Hughes can become Colonel Hughes now is that he has come all the way from soldier Hughes to this step.
Times are different, experiences are different. It can only be said that Hughes' worst luck is that he is too good, so good that he was selected to perform the task he didn't want to do.
Without that assignment, he wouldn't have disobeyed orders, been court-martialed, "seconded" to the CIA in the UK, and then targeted by the KGB.
It was still an era of the Cold War, an era of highly active agents.
The explanation that should be explained is over, we are still a football essay~~
