Chapter 90 Man's Hand

Major Robert stood up, walked to Parks, looked up and down, and then smiled and said, "I believe you already know why we came to you. What do you think of this task?

Parks frowned and looked at Colonel Sink doubtfully.

"I want to hear your general idea about this operation. I believe you already had an idea when Lieutenant Winters told you last night, didn't you?" Colonel Sink held a cigar with his fingers and nodded and smiled at Parks.

Parks knew that the people in the army were still a little uneasy after all, but seeing Colonel Sink nod, he could only make a simple general idea. After all, without a specific investigation, it was impossible for him to have a detailed layout plan.

"We plan to bypass the German defense line and then make specific observations of the prisoner-of-war camps, such as the Germans guarding the prisoners of war, the time to change the guard, and of course the surrounding environment or other arrangements." Parks spread out his hands, "Because the Army Department has not detected any useful information about the Germans, we can only arrange it like this first. The specific operation can only be formulated after the information is clear and detailed."

Obviously, Parks' answer made the major a little dissatisfied. He paced back and forth, looked at Parks, frowned and said, "Second Lieutenant, do we need Bob? Niland was rescued alive. If there is no specific and detailed plan, can you guarantee it?

"I can't, sir!" Parks answered truthfully, "I can only say that in a specific operation, any emergency may lead to the failure of the operation. Even with a detailed plan, it is impossible to catch up with the changes in the situation, not to mention that our rescue will be carried out in a few days.

"Okay, I'm going to ask!" Major Robert nodded and sat down again with a blank face. Then he made a gesture of invitation to Colonel Sink.

Colonel Sink frowned, then stood up and walked to Parks: "I know you are the best soldier in the regiment or even the 101st Airborne Division, but this time the conditions are a little harsh. We must be foolproof. It's always good to be prepared. Go back first, select the team members, and then wait for my order!"

"Yes, sir!" Parks saluted and then walked out. He said what he should say. Even if the major was not satisfied with himself, he could not blame him.

Watching Parks leave the room, a captain closed the door.

"What do you think of this, Major Robert?" Colonel Sink sat down and asked the major. The people directly sent by the Army Department came down, and Sink must also listen to their opinions humbly.

"He is not ready yet." Major Robert shook his head, "Are you sure he is the best candidate?" The major was very annoyed. If it hadn't been for the instructions of the Army Department to select people in the 506th Regiment of the 101st Division, he would never have wanted to stay here for another minute. The Army Department has a good reason. Now the 101st Division is confronting the German 6th Parachute Regiment. It has some understanding of the enemy's situation and is the closest. In addition, the performance of the 506th Regiment after D was the best of the 101st Division.

"Yes, Parks is a model of the 506 regiment!" Sink was a little unhappy, but his tone remained calm. Moreover, Colonel Sink's idea is somewhat similar to Parks's, and it is impossible to formulate a specific and detailed rescue plan in the case of unknown intelligence. The major was obviously a little young, and his impatient look showed his lack of political experience.

Major Robert was silent for a while and knew that it was impossible to change Colonel Sink's mind, so he nodded and said, "I hope you're right, Colonel, the Army Department values this operation very much. Just don't mess it up!" With that, he stood up and began to tidy up his military uniform.

Coloe Sink also stood up and smiled at Major Robert and said, "Don't worry!"

Major Robert said goodbye. But Colonel Sink was annoyed. He knew that the major was using the army to put pressure on him. Watching the major leave, he couldn't help scolding, "Damn it."

"That guy is very proud. Why did he stay in the Army Department for a long time?" Steyr shook his head and smiled, "Colonel, leave him alone. Let's just do it according to our own arrangement."

"I know!" Sink nodded, and his face was a little solemn. "But you just heard that if you can't complete the task, our 506 regiment will lose face. Can the guy named Nirand be saved? I'm afraid that many people are staring at him now. Once you fail, think about it. Newspapers and media across the country, as well as those in the army, are not easy to mess with. If we finally get prestige, we will plummet.

"So what are you going to do? Colonel!" Stry stopped and asked worriedly, "Are you sure you want to shoot Parks?" Or we can send more people and just use a company!"

"That can only let the Germans eat them." Sink shook his head, "If there are too many people, it will definitely attract the attention of the Germans, and even mobilize heavy troops to besiege and obstruct them. On the contrary, they will lose the opportunity to rescue."

"What do you mean?" At this time, Major Horton said, "It can only be Parks?"

"I'm afraid he's the only one now!" Sink nodded helplessly, "What Parks just said makes sense. Of course, it's not good for those bureaucrats who haven't fought in the army, but it's true. Parks was very calm just now. He didn't express his eagerness and said some useless detailed plans and so on.

Lt. Colonel Stryll and Major Horton nodded. Sink's words made sense, and that's what they thought. Being able to keep a cool head is more important than anything else, not to mention that Pax is the best in the regiment's training, and in the recent series of battles, the tactical literacy shown is definitely the best choice for this operation.

"Major Horton, tell Lieutenant Winters that Parks can be selected as soon as possible, which can be carried out in the whole regiment, and all the weapons and materials they proposed can be unconditionally satisfied!" Colonel Sink gave the order decisively. If this mission is successful, then for Parks, he doesn't mind upgrading his rank again.

After Parks came out, he has been in a bad mood. However, he didn't have to go against his appetite. He kept drinking and eating and drinking, and even Compton, who had been devouring, was a little stunned.

"He has always been able to eat that?" Compton couldn't help asking Wales around him.

Wales looked at Parks and whispered to Winters, "Dick, he must be fine. Didn't someone from the regimental department come to him just now? Is it because of the anger of the regimental department? Or is Colonel Sink dissatisfied with him?

Wentes nodded and walked to Parks: "Are you full?"

"Well, it's almost done!" Parks nodded.

"Let's go out for a walk?" Winters swung his head out of the door.

Parks hesitated for a moment, but nodded and said, "Okay." With that, the follower Wentes walked out of the door of the hotel, and then the two walked along the street.

"Is it about the task?" Winters said.

Parks nodded, shook his head again, and then sighed, "Dick, I don't know who Niland's mother is, and I don't care how she is in her mood. To be honest, everyone has a mother. Why do we have to sacrifice our last name to save that boy? Even if we save that boy, why don't the people we participate in the rescue have the right to decide their own actions, and the people of the army are there to dictate and domineering? We are fighting in blood on the battlefield, and those so-called bigwigs can't respect us a little?

Parks vented his resentment in one breath. Yes, he saw contempt in the major's eyes, which he could not tolerate. He can't tolerate an officer who has never been on the battlefield to show disrespect for himself who was born and died on the battlefield, because it is also disrespectful to those brothers.

"People from the Army Department?" Winters suddenly understood that it seemed that the high-level guys really liked to point fingers. No wonder Parks was upset. "What did Colonel Sink say?"

"I don't know! Dick." Parks stopped and looked at Dick. "I don't know his attitude. Maybe I can't carry out this task. Sorry, it's my fault."

"No, no, it's not your problem!" Winters comforted, "I know it's difficult, but whether it's you or not, we don't need to prove how great our E- Company's brothers are in this way. We don't need it."

He looked at Parks as if he was a little silent and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, don't think too much. Even if it's not you, it's nothing. Let's go. The atmosphere of the banquet is really choking. I can't stand it!"

"Me too." Parks smiled and walked towards the company with Winters. In fact, Parks just needs a vent. What he just said is a vent. Since Day D, he has been under great pressure, and the pressure is much greater than that of other officers and brothers. Finally, it has accumulated to this day. If he doesn't vent, sooner or later, something will go wrong. This is his psychological ** feeling as an agent.

Not long after Parks returned to the company, Captain Hawke of the regimental headquarters came. He conveyed Colonel Sink's order to appoint Parks as the commander and full responsibility of this rescue.

After taking Captain Hawke away, Parks looked at Winters with a strange face. Unexpectedly, Colonel Sink was able to resist the people of the Army Department and specially appointed himself as the head of the rescue.

"It seems that you can't escape!" Winters shrugged his shoulders at Parks with a wry smile.

Parks made an indifferent posture and smiled at Winters, "It seems that this is destined. Well, Dick, I'm going to choose someone. Can you give me some advice?"

Winters nodded and pondered for a while, "Listen to you first."

"Randoman, Martin, Gernelly, White, Christenson, Westfordi, Pakante, Tebert, Toe, Gordon and Li Gott." Parks said, "That's all I can think of."

"Where's Dukeman?" Winster suggested, "He is good at shooting, and he has participated in many battles in the E Company, so he is also a good candidate."

"Well, then join him, but we don't need so many people," Parks suddenly seemed to think of something. "Christenson has been injured, so use Dukeman to replace him!"

Winters fully agrees with his selection of manpower. These are the elites of Company E and have rich experience: "Bring them back alive, Parks!"

Parks looked at his solemn look and nodded solemnly, "I know, Dick, don't worry!"
