Chapter 4: Combined arms championship: "Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?"

St glorianas ark royal has made landing in port and now Darjeeling and Johnnie are heading towards a meeting location

Johnnie: I guess this is the place

They stood infront of a large office like building

Unknown: Yo Darjeeling going on a date are we

Johnnie and darjeeling spun around

Darjeeling blushed

Darjeeling: no we are just here for the meeting kay

Kay: Of course you are

Johnnie: McCampbell how have you been?

McCambell: Good, it's been a while since we've seen each other. You still need to thank me for winning the two big multi schools games that happend a while ago

Johnnie: we had it under control( Johnnie said smugly)

McCampbell: like hell ya did

Darjeeling: should we head in

Kay: sure lets go

As they headed in the two Sensha-do commanders were talking to each other whilst the two aviation commanders talked as well, soon they heard a ruckus down the hallway

Katyusha: Shut it how dare you insult Katyusha

Kozhedub:(to himself) Iisus Khristos, ona vedet sebya kak rebenok(Jesus christ she does act like a child)

Katyusha: hey no speaking Russian

Kozhedub: Ok Katyusha

Katyusha: you Poles need to be quiet we will destroy you

Jajka: sure you will, our school size is like your size compared to Nonna

Katyusha: How dare you

Kozhedub: we will destroy you in the skies and on land

Skalski: we will probably lose but the krauts will definitely beat you anyway some of our pilots will just join Trenchard

Kozhedub: speak of the devil

Johnnie: kak ty byl kozhedub(how have you been Kozhedub)

Kozhedub: khorosho prosto nebol'shoy spor so Skalski zdes( ok just a little argument with Skalski here)

Skalski: kak vsegda(as always)

All 3 laughed

Katyusha: you three better not be laughing at me

Kay: how a've you been Katyusha

Katyusha: all right, until the Pole turned up

Darjeeling: hi Jajka good to see your commander now

Jajka: thanks Darjeeling it's just Katyusha is butt hurt over us beating them

Darjeeling: sounds like the miracle at the Vistula

Jajka and Darjeeling laughed

Katyusha: not you too Darjeeling

Johnnie: I think the meeting starts soon should we head in
