Chapter 43 The End of the Sober Era
Chapter 43 The End of the Sober Era
Parks didn't expect Colonel Sink to stop himself and asked such a question. He couldn't figure out why Sink asked so. Even if he dealt with a company sergeant, there was no need to explain it, not to mention that the reason for musm was enough. However, it was really surprising for Parks to be able to retain the rank of sergeant.
"s sir, I can't think of a reason!" Parks replied honestly.)
Colonel Sink looked at him and didn't say it immediately. He just waited for a while and said, "Okay, just remember this lesson. You used to be a role model for our 506 regiment, and you were awarded a medal even during the non-war period. And you have also done your best to issue U.S. bonds, so you should always demand yourself with the standard of a good soldier.
"Let's go!" Sink's words are very polite.
When Parks stepped out of the office, he understood that there may be some reasons. The first is that his image has appeared in major newspapers in the United States. If he is involved in a mumous scandal and demoted it, it must be a loss of reputation that the 506 regiment can't afford. The second is the contact with General Lee mentioned by Colonel Sink during the bond issue. And when General Li came to inspect, he met me alone. Although he didn't say anything, this move was enough for Sink to consider where my relationship with General Li had reached. This may be the result of Colonel Sink's low-key handling of the matter.
When the non-commissioned officers who participated in the operation returned to the camp, they were cheered like heroes by their brothers.
"I didn't expect it." Granary muttered in a low voice.
Li Pu, who was beside him, was stunned and couldn't help asking, "What didn't you expect?"
Gernelly smiled, then glanced at the warm attitude of the brothers around him and said to Li Pu, "Actually, I still had some hesitation before, but now I don't hesitate anymore. This is better than anything else! Isn't it?"
Li Pu also nodded and smiled: "Yes, it's better than anything else!" Then he turned his head and looked back and said doubtfully, "Why hasn't Parks come yet? Does Colonel Sink still want to deal with him alone?
Gerry suddenly couldn't laugh. They all knew that Parks was left alone by Colonel Sink.
"I don't think so!" At this time, Lanny said, "In this operation as Sergeant Chief Parks, Colonel Sink still asked him to retain the rank of sergeant, indicating that this matter should end here. Maybe there's something else?" He is not very sure.
While several people were talking, they saw Parks coming from afar.
"Hey, Parks, welcome back." Kaber shouted from afar, "You are our hero!"
The other sergeants were very calm about the cheers of Carbo. Harris and Lenny's faces changed slightly. Harris will be transferred from the 506th Regiment. God knows where he will go, either the army or the Marine Corps. That is to say, he can no longer wear the silver wing badge of the airborne landing sign. This is undoubtedly a major blow to him.
And Lenny was also demoted from sergeant to second-class. Although the result was better than Harris, it was also a major blow. Parks was removed from the sergeant, and then removed from the qualification of being recommended to the reserve military academy, and the loss was relatively large. But neither Lanny nor Harris was hailed as "heroes".
In the hearts of the brothers of Company E, because Parks is a sergeant, out of general psychological thinking, the habitual surnamed Parks is regarded as the leader of this operation. But the leaders of this operation are indeed Harris and Lenny.
Parks noticed the slight change in Harris and Lanny's expression, and couldn't help smiling and said, "Copper, you're wrong this time. I'm not a hero. If it hadn't been for the gathering of General Harris and Lanny, we wouldn't have worked so hard.
"Haha, Harris, Lanny, you are also heroes!" Carbo laughed and stretched out his hand to both of them. "I have to show my respect to you."
"For the sake of brothers!" Harris glanced at the corners of his mouth and said to everyone with a smile.
"For E Company." At this time, Parks added a sentence to the side.
This sentence has received the approval response from all the E company brothers.
"For E Company!" E Even all the brothers roared out loudly.
Parks smiled, these are his brothers. He pulled Harris aside and said in a low voice, "Harris, what are you going to do now?"
Harris looked a little gloomy: "What else can I do? Maybe I will go to the army. Maybe today or tomorrow, someone from the regiment will come to arrange everything for me. It's just... I'm leaving my brothers, and I'm in a mood... you know!"
"I know, even if it's me, I will be in the same mood." Parks then smiled and said, "Don't be discouraged. Even if you are not in the company, your brothers will never forget you. You saved Company E."
Harris glanced at the corners of his mouth and looked a little blank. He sat down and sat on the grass. Parks sat down with him. Harris pulled a few grass aimlessly and then put it in his mouth.
"Parks, I suddenly have no confidence in this time. God knows whether Colonel Sink will react to this if we have made such a sacrifice. Maybe... it's a mistake for us to do this at all. Harris is in a bad mood. He really didn't want to leave Company E, which was more uncomfortable than killing him, so he even began to doubt his impulse.
"No, we will have a good result!" Parks nodded, "I promise you that you will never sacrifice in vain. Sink will definitely drive Sober out of Company E.
"Yes, I think Parks is right!" At this time, a voice next to him said, and the two looked back that it was Lanny, followed by Gnery, Li Pu, Da Niu and others.
"Harris, don't worry about Company E. Brothers will be taken good care of. Even if Sober can't leave this time, we will protect our brothers. Don't worry!" Li Pu came over and pressed Harris on the shoulder.
Harris stretched out a hand, shook Li Pu's hand on his shoulder, and suddenly smiled and said, "Yes, it's just a little uncomfortable. To be honest, if you really want to leave."
The next day, Harris received an order from the regimental headquarters. Obviously, he was transferred to the 82nd Division, but this is also good news for him. The 82nd Division is also an airborne force. At least he doesn't have to take off the silver wing badge. You should know that for this badge, the brothers have trained for nearly two years.
It seems that Colonel Sink still accepted the mercy. Maybe he already knew that Sober was not suitable to lead the company to fight. It's just that this matter has made him more determined.
It really happened as Parks expected. Colonel Sink transferred Sober away. In fact, Sink also has a headache about Sober's position.
"I really don't know where to transfer him? Obviously, he is no longer suitable to stay in Company E. Will he be transferred to other battalions as company commanders? Maybe he will suffer the same treatment as Company E. Sink complained to Lieutenant Colonel Stry with a sad face.
Stryor smiled and said, "But to be honest, Captain Thorber is really not suitable to lead the company to fight. Emotionally speaking, I still agree with what those non-commissioned officers did.
"Don't tell me these things," Sink was a little dissatisfied. "The practices of those non-commissioned officers are definitely not worth encouraging. I'm just worried about Sober's position now.
"It's very simple, actually!" Stryre was not in a hurry.
"Well, you'd better tell me a place that suits him." Sink nodded and said, "Sorber is just not suitable to lead a team to fight, but he still has his strengths, which we have to be sure."
Stryll nodded and said, "I agree with that. So we need to give full play to his strengths. Colonel, have you forgotten that there is an umbrella school in Chelton Freyat Village near the camp?
Sink was overjoyed and nodded quickly and said, "Yes, how can I forget that place? There is nothing more suitable for him than there. This is a wonderful idea!"
The paratrooper school called Chelton Fliat Village, mentioned by Stryer, is to train medical personnel, military priests, communication liaison personnel, artillery front observers and other personnel who will make airborne at the same time as landing into qualified paratroopers. This is a school run by the 101 airborne division.
What is more suitable for Captain Thorber to train qualified paratroopers? Sink and Stryll couldn't help smiling at each other.
After only two days, Sink and Saber had a deep conversation. No one knew what they talked about, although everyone in Company E was paying attention to it. But it can be seen from Sober's depressed look after that conversation that that conversation was definitely an unpleasant memory for Thorber. Now the brothers of E Company are happy. Sobo is not far from leaving E Company. Everyone is thinking so.
On the third day, Thorber packed up and went to Chelton Freyat to report. Sink's Patrick of Company A? Lieutenant Swayney was transferred to Company E as deputy company commander. Thomas of Company B? Lieutenant Mihan was transferred to Company E as the company commander.
Winters returned to Company E, but he was no longer the deputy company commander, but served as the platoon leader of the first platoon. Parks served as a squad leader in the first row. Then Sink accepted Winters's recommendation, with Parks as a sergeant in a row. The mumage finally came to an end.
E Company's Sober era is over.
