Chapter 38 Goodbye, Statue of Liberty

Chapter 38 Farewell, Statue of Liberty

"Dear lady, soon, your son, Sergeant Reis? Parks (names added according to their respective names) will land from the sky to the ground to fight against the enemy and defeat the enemy. He will distribute the best weapons and equipment. In order to succeed on the battlefield, he has undergone months of hard and intense training. ......"

"Please write to him often with care and encouragement, which will strengthen his will to fight. With this, he will move forward and win honor for himself, so that you can be proud of him. His motherland thanks him for serving the country at such a critical moment. - Heber, the commander of the E company of the second battalion of the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division? Captain Sober.

This is a letter of fixed format written by Captain Sober to be sent to the mother of every soldier. Parks doesn't know where his mother was? According to military records, he should have been born in California, but what about the original Parks' mother? Parks felt that he might go back and have a look after the war.

The brothers of Company E carried bags and weapons and lined up on the troop carrier. Someone was boarding the ship, holding the list and calling his name loudly. During the boarding process, few people spoke, and they were nervous and excited. Parks is the same. Although this is not his first overseas battle, that feeling cannot be forgotten in every life.

The smoky barge left the dock with the troop carrier. After the whistle, the troop carrier began to slowly sail towards the sea. Almost all the brothers of Company E stood by the guardrail and quietly watched the Statue of Liberty gradually deviate and turn to the direction of the stern of the ship. Almost all of them left the United States for the first time.

When the Statue of Liberty gradually becomes a smaller and smaller shadow, and finally can no longer be seen, everyone has the consciousness of turning back from meditation.

"What are you thinking about? Parks!" White turned his head and looked at him.

Parks took a deep breath of the salty air on the sea and said, "I don't know. I think a lot, my mother, Virgillian, and Jeff, and of course, our brothers." With a long sigh, "Maybe on the battlefield, some of our brothers will withdraw from our team because of the war, or be injured or killed." This is what Parks said in his heart.

"Are you scared?" White took a strange look at Parks. Of course, he is not as far as Parks thinks. In his opinion, it should be a very heroic thing to die for the country.

"No, White." Parks smiled, "It's just an exclamation!"

Parks turned his eyes to the sea. On the sea, a group of sea swallows and seagulls were on the sea, singing in groups.

"Do you know the name of this ship?" Parks suddenly asked.

White was obviously stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted: "It's called the Samaria. Is there anything wrong with this?"

Parks smiled and said, "Saria was originally the capital of an ancient Jewish state. I think that's what it means for us to take this ship. We are going to liberate them.

"Hey, you mean this ship is Jewish? Or are we going to Europe to be the savior of the Jews? White laughed and said, "Savior? I like this name.

The two talked and laughed, and gradually, the depressed mood gradually became cheerful. At this time, they saw Tibo coming towards them again. He held a can of peaches in his hand: "Parks, this is yours. I know you like this thing!" With that, he threw the canned peach over, and Parks stretched out his hand and caught it.

"I just bet with a guy from Company D that he lost to me." Tibo's face was full of excitement, "And cigarettes." With that, he took out three packs of cigarettes and gave them one pack for Parks and White. He tore open a bag, took out one, lit the fire, took a deep breath, then spit out a cigarette ring, and took a long breath.

"We finally left!" Tibo put his hands on the armrest and looked at the sea. "It's just going to Europe. To be honest, Parks, I really want to go to the South Pacific. Those guys are really lucky!" He is referring to the group of marines.

"Why?" White looked at him doubtfully.

"I want to be assigned to a tropical island. I sit under the palm trees with six local girls [***]. They help me peel the coconut, and I will feed the red crane with my hands." Tibo closed his eyes, as if he were fantasizing.

"Oh, Tibo, don't dream for nothing. The red crane is very fierce, and it will bite people!" Parks laughed and said that this guy thought of such a beautiful thing, "Also, ** will also bite people!"

"Who hates going to Europe?" At this time, another voice came from the deck, "Go to Europe, I like it."

When the three turned their heads, it was Joe? Toy came over.

"If I'm lucky, I can cut a knife on Hitler's throat, so that Roosevelt would change Thanksgiving to Joe? Toi said in memory, and then pay me 10,000 yuan a year for the rest of my life. Joe? Toy smiled proudly.

The three of them couldn't help laughing.

Parks shook his head and smiled, "Joe, you are completely dreaming. Of course, if it were me, it would be different." Parks drew his hands into a shooting look, and then said, "Listen, for me, if I take a Springfield sniper rifle to the distance from Adolf? Hitler is within a mile, and his vision is clear, and there is no wind, so pack up your bags. The war is over, guys!"

"A great!" White laughed..

The four of them were chatting when they suddenly heard a noise in the cabin.

"What happened?" White looked at it doubtfully. Parks had already walked in. It turned out that there was an argument between Granary and Li Gold, and the two fought.

"Hey, hey, hey, guys, what's going on?" Parks rushed forward. Sure enough, it was Li Goth and Gernelly. They had twisted into a group of soldiers, and a group of soldiers were coaxing nearby.

" Stop it, soldiers!" Parks stopped the two. He knew the reason for the fight. "Go to your bed and do it. Don't make trouble, guys!" Parks pointed to Gernelly and pushed Li Gaote away with one hand.

"Bow!" Li Gaote spat a bloody spit on the ground fiercely, stared at Gnauri fiercely, and then turned around and turned over his bed.

"Okay, sergeant, I will obey!" Gernelly raised his hands, then tilted his head to look at Li Gaote, and then slowly retreated to his bed and climbed up.

"What's going on?" Parks asked the soldiers around him.

"Nothing, Parks! It's just for Sober. Mr. gonorrhea said that Saber was a Jew, so Ligot was unhappy because he was also a Jew. He felt that marking Sober as a Jew was tantamount to insulting him, that's all!" Luz next to him smiled.

"Well, fight for Thorber, you are so smart!" Parks shook his head, "All right, let's spread out. Don't stand in the way, brothers!"

Everyone gradually dispersed. That's exactly what happened. Parks couldn't help smiling. Everything that should have happened was still happening as promised. He suddenly moved. Now that he has come here, will the following things change? Will those brothers who have died or been seriously injured happen as promised? Parks can't say it.

Parks settled down the brothers and then went out. He wanted to have a walk! At this time, Chris Denson followed him and came out, and then followed him to the deck.

"Parks!" Chris Denson shouted behind him.

"What's the matter?" Parks turned around and looked at Chris Denson.

"Do you know why that happened just now?" Chris Denson looked at Parks.

Parks nodded: "I know, because of the Jewish thing."

"No, not exactly." Christen said, "The ultimate cause is indeed because of Sob, not because Sob is Jewish, which has nothing to do with that. It's just... It's just that the brothers don't trust Sober. Chris Denson hesitated to speak out.

Parks frowned: "Is this just your idea?"

"No, we all talked about it just now!" Christen said, "No one wants to stay with him. Brothers would rather brave the rain of bullets than stay with other officers, such as Winster or Heiliger."

"So... what do you mean?" Parks knew that he couldn't control such things by himself, but it was obvious that Chris didn't come to complain or anything.

"Brothers just asked me to come out and tell you. How should we deal with this kind of thing? If it really comes to the day when we go to the battlefield, the brothers don't want everyone to hate the battlefield because of Sober. I'm sure you don't want this to happen either!" Christen's life.

Parks was stunned. He didn't expect his brothers to have such a deep resentment for Thorber. He was silent for a while and said, "Well, let me think about it. Tell the brothers not to worry about Thorber."

Chris Denson nodded, then looked at Parks seriously and said, "We believe in you, Parks!"

Parks looked at his back in a blank way, and he was not sure. He couldn't change anything. Although he was a sergeant, his brothers had a problem and could only talk to himself!
