Chapter 37 Destination--Europe

Chapter 37 Destination - Europe

On August 14, 1943, every officer and soldier of Company E received a pamphlet - the "Overseas Operations Preparation Manual". Parks, who was in charge of the word test, shouted loudly over and over again: "Guys, remember the contents of the manual. That will be good for you. It's better for you to memorize them one by one after you go back to the camp.

But it seems that the brothers are not very interested. After reading the brochure once, many people left it aside, or simply put it in the box and didn't care. They are more looking forward to when they can leave the United States. Many people are both nervous and uneasy.

The next day, the entire 101 Airborne Division was organized and began to queue up at the railway station to start. The band played the music of "Just Over There", as well as the eye-catching nurses and girls of the Red Cross. Their eyes were very red, and some even cried.

"Hey, girls, I will miss you!" Carbo waved his hand and shouted loudly.

"Shut up, Cap! That makes you look eduperate!" Martin said, "They are not hypocritical. I can see that it makes no sense for you to say that!"

Kaber had to shut up, but he was still unwilling to look over there a few times.

"Brothers of Company E, get ready to board the bus!" At this time, Parks stood on a chair in the waiting room and shouted to the E Company brothers who were still waiting, "Pack up your clothes and don't leave anything behind."

"Do you know where we are going?" White asked Tibo around him, "Didn't Parks say that he was going to New York? I feel like I'm going to California. Maybe we will be deployed in the Pacific Ocean!"

"Do you want to make a bet?" Tibo smiled and said, "I bet on going to New York, and then we will go to Europe or the Mediterranean or something."

"I think it should be California. We should go to the Pacific Ocean. I heard that the Marines were badly beat up in the Pacific Ocean. Maybe we fell from the sky and rescued them from hell!" Malachi interrupted the line and said, "50 yuan, I bet, which one of you wants to add it?"

"New York - Europe, I bet 50 yuan."

"California - Pacific Ocean. I bet!"

At this time, the whole team was whispering, and their bets had spread. Most of the whole company were keen on whether to go to Europe or the Pacific Ocean.

"White, where do you bet?" Gernelly asked in the back.

"New York!" White laughed and said, "I believe in Parks. He said that we would go to Europe."

Granary couldn't help shaking his head and said, "You're done. Although Parks has some bad luck, he can't win every bet. I think we are the elite in the army, and now we are fighting directly with us, but I'm the one in the Pacific. Hey hey, God bless you, White. I have to say that you are miserable this time!"

White was unwilling to show weakness and said to Gnery, "You are wrong. It is because we are elite that we have to deal with more elite troops. Do you think the Germans who are sweeping in Europe now will be worse than myself? It's enough for the Marines to clean up. We are elites!"

"Yes, White, I support you!" At this time, there was a messy sound in the team. With these small noises, the brothers of Company E boarded the long twenty-bus train, like a giant monster.

With a slow and low "kap" sound, the train began to move forward slowly after a burst of trembling. No matter where they go, the brothers of E Company will set off from here to the unknown battlefield and face the unknown future.

"With me?" Nixon came over from the corridor with a smile on his face. He sat behind Winters. He wanted Winters to sit with him, so he came to have a look.

"Where the train goes, I will go!" Winters reported with a smile. He was remembering something, as if he could misunderstand Nixon's words. Next to him, Harry was taking a nap. I don't know where I'm going!"

"Then guess what? Just like the brothers of E Company, make a bet? The Atlantic Ocean? The Pacific Ocean? The Atlantic Ocean? Nixon smiled and said, "You might as well try it!"

But Winters looked uninterested. He shook his head and said, "I'm not an officer of the Intelligence Agency. You'd better find someone else to bet!"

At this time, Nixon suddenly came up, approached Winters' ear, and whispered, "I know where to go, but if I tell you, I will kill you, because it's a secret!"

"Then don't tell me!" Winters smiled, "I don't want to put myself in danger!"

Nixon stepped forward, changed his position, sat opposite Winters, and whispered mysteriously, "First to New York, board the ship, and then to England. We're going to land in Europe, brother!" With that, he took out a small wine bottle and handed it to Winters, "Encircle Europe!"

Winters looked at Nixon and smiled, "When did I start drinking?"

"If I knew you were drinking, I wouldn't buy you a drink!" Nixon smiled, unscrewed the lid of the bottle and took a sip.

Winster was silent for a moment and then asked, "Nick, what would you do if you were on the battlefield?"

Nixon was stunned and then laughed and said, "I'm a speculative person. Don't worry about me. Also, I hid a box of aged whisky in your cabinet!"

Winters couldn't help laughing: "Is it true?"

"Of course!"

At this time, Harry around Winters? Wales suddenly opened his eyes and looked in front of him in a daze, as if Nixon was sitting, and couldn't help smiling at him to say hello.

"Good morning!" Nixon said hello. Then he handed over the bottle, "Please!"

Harry smiled with satisfaction, took a sip, clicked his mouth, and praised, "This will be a wonderful journey." Then he took a long breath. Looking at his comfortable appearance, Winters and Nixon couldn't help looking at each other and smiling.

The train finally went to New York, which made White, Tibo and others happy for a long time, because he won another one. This made Gnelly, Malachi and others very annoyed. They even said to White jealously, "Hey, man, don't be happy too early. Sooner or later, I'll let you know what it's like to lose."

Finally, the fire truck drove them to Camp Shanks, 30 miles from New York City, where the officers and soldiers of Company E were waiting to board the troop carrier. The day after they arrived, they boarded the ship. And one of the days, Colonel Sink showed mercy and let all the soldiers take a vacation and relax appropriately. It's just that you are not allowed to spend the night outside the camp.

"I want to go to New York, Parks, together? Don't you have a good relationship in New York? Go find her!" White said to Parks, "I promise I'll just take a look and it won't be your obstacle!" Or I can think of it as a statue.

Parks couldn't twist him, so he had to agree. And on the day the train arrived, Virginia knew his arrival. She even asked someone to take a message, which was actually to see Parks again. Thinking that he was about to go on an expedition to Europe, Parks couldn't bear to refuse, and he really wanted to see her.

"Well, you have to promise not to mess me up!" Parks got White's assurance and agreed, but when he went, there were several more people. Tibo, Luz and Chris Denson must also go to see it.

A group of people sat by the fountain in a park, waiting for the arrival of Virginia. Then they saw a black car parked next to the park. The driver opened the door and came down from it, an elegant, broad and polite woman in a long black dress. She looked this way, and then looked surprised.

"God, it's so beautiful!" White exclaimed in amazement, "Parks, you are so jealous."

"Hey, guys, that's the latest Lincoln car, I know it. Streamlined design, I know it has a name, what's its name? God, I can't remember, Parks. You have to ask for me later. Chris Densheng shouted in surprise.

"I believe that Parks will definitely not take your words to heart, because the beautiful lady has arrived!" Tibo muttered, and then stood up with Parks.

"Let me introduce it! White, Tibo and Chris Denson. Parks introduced, "This is Virginia!"

"Hello, beautiful lady!" The three of them were at a loss.

"Parks!" Chris Densheng reminded in a low voice. He is really a persistent person.

Parks shrugged his shoulders helplessly and smiled, "Christenson wants to ask, what's the name of the car that just took you here?"

"Mainland!" Virginia smiled and said, "New streamlined, V8 engine."

"Wow!" Christen exclaimed, "I remember, yes, it's the mainland." Then he smiled at Virginia and said, "I didn't expect the lady to know so much about cars."

"Okay, guys, are you leaving? Aren't you going shopping?" Parks began to give an eviction order, "White, remember, buy me some cigarettes!"

Watching those brothers laughing, they left shoulder to shoulder. Parks made a helpless gesture to Virginia: "They have to come to see it!"

Virginia stretched out her hand, took Pax's arm, and blew her breath close to Parks's ear: "Don't you want to see it again?"
