Chapter 16
Chapter 16
Parks and Winster were in the limelight during the game, which was not a good thing for Thorber to see. He can always think of ways to torture them. For example, he transferred Winster as his deputy company commander and asked him to walk around the kitchen and toilet every day. He didn't give him many opportunities to contact the E company brothers at all.
Even for Parks, he can find some ways. For example, when Parks was guiding the platoon that day, he would increase the training of that platoon a lot. He hoped that the brothers in Company E would have a grudge against Parks. But Parks' training effect was there, and no one could erase it, so the brothers of E Company did not complain about Parks, but were more intimate, which was unexpected by Thorpe.
With the rapid improvement of the physical fitness of the E Company brothers under the training of Parkers, the basic training subjects of the E Company are being strengthened. Because Colonel Sink's requirements are very high, he requires each member of Company E to master their own skills such as using mortars, machine guns, rifles, communication and field dressing. Everyone can do any work in the row, at least they can handle it. Each soldier understands the responsibilities of corporals and sergeants, and can be substituted if necessary.
Because of this, Parks' work has gradually become easier, and for E Company, the improvement of physical fitness indicates that physical training will only be auxiliary in the future, and others will become the main training project.
As the physical fitness program gradually decreased, Winster was "released" from the kitchen and toilet by Parks, because Winster had to personally participate in these new subjects, and this was also a new test for him.
"I can't believe that Thorpe has thrown you in the kitchen for more than two months." When Nixon saw Winster in the barracks, he raised the bottle in his hand. "Would you like a glass? Even if it's a celebration of your 'release from prison'.
"A glass of water, Nick!" Winster smiled and said, "Aren't I out? It's just that God knows what else Sober will let me do. But I'm not worried at all now. After all, no deputy company commander has ever worked in the kitchen all his life.
Nixon laughed: "You are really optimistic. But Colonel Sink has been a little unoptimistic recently.
"About training?"
"Yes, Colonel Sink wants the whole regiment to achieve a training method like Parks. You know, the current E Company is definitely much more powerful than two months ago. Colonel Sink can't be careful." Nixon sighed and shook his head.
Winster was stunned and looked at Nixon: "I know what Colonel Sink is annoyed about. It must be that Parks's training method has not been passed."
"How do you know?" Nixon gave Winster a strange look. "I just heard the news from the battalion."
"There's nothing strange." Winster said, "Coloe Sink is an optimist, but he completely ignores how ridiculous it is for the bureaucratic system above to do a serious job."
Nixon nodded: "In the face of Colonel Sink, although there are some effects, the training method has not passed the appraisal of experts, there is no scientific basis, and the time is too short, and no one can evaluate what hidden dangers will occur in the future, so it is postponed."
"Pend?" Winster laughed at himself, "I'm afraid it's a permanent pause. It seems that Sergeant Parks is going to lose his job.
"Yes! Don't forget you. You were the originator at the beginning!" Then he raised the bottle and said, "Cheers to the unemployed!" With that, he poured a glass of wine, looked up and drank it all.
The news soon began to spread in the group. Of course, the brothers who pay the most attention to this matter are the brothers of E. Winster even wondered whether Saber knew about this and freed himself from the handyman. But the officers and soldiers of Company E seemed a little excited.
"God knows what Colonel Sink thinks. Now our training effect is visible. Are they all blind people? Why do you want to stop this training method? White is scratching in the barracks.
This result is not a surprise to Parks. Colonel Sink was really too optimistic at the beginning. In the United States, it pays attention to scientific basis and verification. For them, ancient Chinese techniques are equivalent to witchcraft, which is generally incomprehensible. Brigadier William C. Lee will not let an immature training method appear in the 101st Airborne Division, thus disrupting his overall plan. To put it bluntly, I won't let Colonel Sink talk nonsense.
"Poor Colonel Sink!" Chris Densheng sighed aside.
"Poor Sergeant Parks!" Moore also learned from Chrisden to sigh, and then made a grimace at Parks.
Parks smiled and said, "This is not a bad thing. Now we have mastered this method. There is nothing to be discouraged. Now the most important thing is that those new training subjects can be dealt with well. You know, Captain Saober is not so easy to deal with. I can treat you at the beginning. There is no hope."
"Fur, Parks!" Capo shouted, "We know that your physical training is very good, and we all admire you, but if you want to do the best in those projects, it will definitely not be so easy."
"Then let's wait and see, Cap!" Parks smiled and said, "Do you want to make a bet? Tomorrow our platoon is the shooting training of rifles. We might as well bet a little bigger, fifty dollars, and I can surpass you!"
Obviously, this Kab is difficult. Parks can't infer from common sense. He was just a little jealous just now. If he really wants to bet, he doesn't have much confidence at all, and it's more than 50 dollars. This is his monthly salary.
Seeing that Carbo didn't agree for a long time, everyone else in the barracks coaxed: "Oh, please, Carper, take out your courage and don't let Parks say sarcastic words."
In the end, Carbo didn't agree. Despite the ups, he still flinched: "I'm not fooled by you. Parks is a lion. Which of you dares to bet on a lion? No, I don't want to find it boring."
Yes, Kab began to feel grateful for his decision after only one day.
"Shoot!" Following the instructor's order, the second row lying on the ground held M1 Galander and let it go in one breath.
"Ding!" With a sound, the empty bullet clip popped up and made a pleasant sound.
"Shit!" At this time, the instructor suddenly shouted at a brother, "What's your name? Second-class soldier!"
"Roy Caper, Sergeant!" Capper stood up in frustration.
"Do your eyes grow on your asshole? Look at your shooting, eight bullets in a magazine, where did you hit? The non-commissioned officer and instructor were very angry. Carbo only had four bullets on the target, and the results were indeed a little terrible.
At this time, the sergeant came to Parks again: "Sergeant, what name do you teach?"
Parks stood up: "Rees Parks!"
"Very good! Keep it up!" The non-commissioned officer patted Parks on the shoulder, and then asked doubtfully, "Is that Parks who invented the physical training method?"
"Yes!" Parks nodded.
The sergeant didn't say anything this time. He just asked someone to bring the target in front of Parks. The target was completely different, and there was a big hole in the middle.
"Look, gentlemen, this is shooting!" The non-commissioned officer shouted at the brothers in the second row, "In the future, if you go to the battlefield, either you will kill the Germans or you will be killed by the Germans."
This really shocked the brothers in the second row. Looking at the big hole in the middle, it is obvious that eight bullets passed through the center of the target. What a terrible thing for these rookies who have just begun to shoot.
"Contend to work hard!" The non-commissioned officer and instructor nodded to Parks.
As soon as the training was over, Carbo couldn't wait to express his opinions. He looked very proud: "Look, fortunately, I have foresight. Parks can't describe him as a human at all."
White gave him a white look: "Kaber, you should be glad that you kept a month's salary."
Obviously, this training has allowed everyone to see another ability of Parks.
"I heard that the row of Buls Sifudi's marksmanship is also quite good. Hey, Parks, why don't you compare with him? I bet you can definitely win him. Kabo shouted at this time.
Obviously, this will attract all the brothers in the second row.
"Do it, Parks!" Gnery was very interested, "I bet you win! Fifty dollars."
"Hey, hey, count me in, I'll bet 50 dollars too!" Tibo also squeezed over at this time and looked at Parks with hope.
Parks shook his head: "No, I won't take the initiative to compare with my brothers." Parks clearly refused, because no matter what the result was, the people who participated in the test had a little burden in their hearts, which was not good for both of them.
Obviously, the people in the second row were disappointed.
But this disappointment did not last long. Because the brothers in the row also know that Parks' shooting is also great, and they have Xifudi. Obviously, they also want to gamble.
"Parks, accept it, like a man!" Private Albert Breibaba, a private in the first row, ran over and conveyed the wishes of the brothers in a row. "Sifudi agreed. Come on, take it as a darts game!"
Parks looked at the brothers in the second row and found that they were also looking at him eagerly, so he had to shrug his shoulders: "Okay, I promised!"
