Chapter 128 Inquiry
"What can we do?" General Gavin said, "We can't do anything! Our proposal can only be strongly opposed by them and cannot be implemented.
Although General Taylor knows that this plan does have a lot of problems. Even if they are senior commanders in the exhibition, they can't let their plans be modified because of lack of unfounded speculation, and now the arrows have to be fired on the string. Any modification may bring the military heart of the commanders. Steady.
The discussion was inconclusive. General Taylor still flew Colonel Sink's reply. He called Colonel Sink to inform him to ask the lieutenant officer named Parks to come to the division.
This decision even surprised Colonel Sink. It seems that General Taylor attaches more importance to Parks's plan. He had to inform Winters immediately and tell him that it was very important.
When Winters received a phone call from Colonel Sink, he was shaving, and then he heard Wales's loud voice: "Dick, Colonel Sink's phone call."
While wiping his face with a towel, Winters looked at Wales and smiled, "I hope Sink didn't come to me in trouble!" Winters was severely cleaned up by Colonel Sink in the regimental headquarters, and he naturally thought of whether he was going to make trouble for himself. But when he talked to Sink, a smile appeared on his face.
"Harry!" Winters put down the phone and smiled at Wales, "Come to Parks!" It's good news."
"Coloe Sink figured it out?" Wales laughed and said, "I thought he was a stubborn old man. I hope Parks can change those stubborn guys. With that, he went straight out of the company.
Parks did not expect that his suggestion would eventually be valued by General Taylor. After all, preparation plays a very important role in reducing the casualties of Company E in future operations.
When Wales found him, he was watching his brothers roll the dice in the row. This is now the only way he can pass the time and not let himself fall into the worry about the future.
"Oh, God, I'm so lucky!" Grenari threw down a few bills, then grabbed one of his coats and was ready to get up and leave. He smiled at Parks, who was standing aside and said, "Head, why don't you show those new guys a little color so that they can know how wise our boss is."
"I'm not interested in rolling dice. I prefer 21 o'clock." Parks said and was ready to leave. When he opened the door, he saw Wales coming towards him.
"Your officer!" Gnell, who came out with Parks, saluted Wales.
Wales returned a gift, and then smiled at Parks and said, "Dick asked me to find you. I don't think you have a place to go anyway, so I came here to try my luck. I didn't expect it to be there. This may be good news!"
Parks smiled and said, "Has the head of Sink decided to make a suggestion to the division headquarters?"
"It's more than that!" Wales smiled at Parks and said, "General Taylor wants to see you! Let's go to Lianbu first. Maybe Winters has something to tell you!" With that, he turned around and left with Parks.
Gerry walked slowly. He was always behind them, and then he heard their conversation. Obviously, their leader, Parks, has a big plan, which has aroused the interest and attention of General Taylor. He looked at the direction Parks left, and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. What kind of plan is this?
"It's a call from Colonel Sink. It seems that I'm going to accompany you to the regimental headquarters in person, and then Colonel Sink will go with you to see General Taylor." Winters looked at Parks with a smile, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. "Rees, your persistence has worked!"
Parks nodded, then shook his head and smiled, "Who knows? They may just want to see why low-level officers like me dare to make suggestions for the whole operation. Or do you just want to humiliate me?"
Winters shook his head and looked at Parks with a little serious expression and said, "You are wrong this time. If your plan can make your brothers suffer less losses, this is the best."
"Okay, let's go!" Parks nodded and stopped joking, so he walked out of the company's headquarters with Winters, and then they took the jeep and went to the regimental headquarters.
"Lieutenant Parks, do you know what it means this time? I will take you to see General Taylor!" Colonel Sink didn't talk nonsense and said his meaning directly. "Then the general will ask some questions. I hope you can have an answer with the construction name!"
"I know, Colonel!" Parks nodded calmly. He doesn't know if his butterfly can change anything. But after all, the wings of butterflies are about to start inciting. Even if it is a small incitement.
The car encountered the continuous barracks and drove straight to the division. Colonel Sink sat in a jeep in front of him, and Parks and Winters sat on a jeep after him. The headlights swayed in the barracks, and occasionally soldiers could be seen walking.
"What are you thinking about?" Winters suddenly asked Parks, who was looking at the night sky, "Are you thinking that General Taylor will ask you some questions?"
"Nothing, nothing." Parks took a look at Winters, was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked, "I'm wondering how powerful a person or a company will be in the face of such a great battle?" Can something be changed? Or many, one is not much, one is not much less.
Winters smiled and then nodded, "Yes, I'm too small. But I won't think about it. If it tells me to fight, I will fight, and then I will try my best to become the target of the battle. If I can't achieve my goal, I will retreat. I will try my best to keep my brothers alive so that they can return to their homes completely.
Parks nodded and then smiled and said, "You're right!" Then he was silent for a while and said, "If the victory of this battle is related to whether the brothers can go home as soon as possible, end the battle as soon as possible, and let us carry out an extremely dangerous task, will you let the brothers carry it out?"
Winters looked at Parks strangely and said, "If you let me execute it, I have to execute it. There is no choice, Reis!"
"What if it's optional?" Parks asked.
"If optional, I choose to execute." Winters thought for a moment, and then nodded and said, "Although this will put the brothers in danger, the airmen have always put themselves in danger, not to mention that we have the opportunity to end this damn war ahead of schedule. I think if it were you, I would have made this choice.
Parks smiled, then nodded, stopped talking, and looked ahead. Not far ahead, the division headquarters had been seen. Colonel Sink's car drove in, and then he jumped out of the car and waved to Parks and the others who had just stopped.
"Hurry up, young man!" Sink shouted loudly.
"Go in!" Winters nodded to Parks, "I'm waiting for you outside!"
Parks smiled at him, then tidied up his military uniform, straightened his military cap, and then followed Colonel Sink into the room of the division headquarters.
General Taylor was talking with several school-level staff officers, and then he saw Colonel Sink coming in. He was followed by a young man who knew that this was Parks. It can be said that this young man had made a deep impression on him. Including his series of outstanding performances. Then he stood up and walked towards them.
"General!" Colonel Sink greeted General Taylor, and the two shook hands. Sink got out of the way, and Parks turned to General Taylor head-on. He found that the general was looking at him with a smile.
"General!" Parks saluted a military salute. He knew that Taylor was willing to see him, indicating that he was not a bureaucratic general, which made Parks very grateful, so he must respect him.
"Reese? Parks!" Taylor stretched out his hand and held Parks tightly, with one hand on his arm, and then smiled, "This is the third time we have met!"
"Yes, General!" Parks still looked respectful and maintained the respect he deserved.
Taylor nodded, then motioned Colonel Sink and Parks to sit down and smiled, "Actually, there is one thing that I'm very sorry for. According to your performance, you can fully get the high-quality Cross Service Medal. But the final result is regrettable!" Taylor did not let Parks talk about his plan as soon as he opened his mouth, but talked about the last award, "The 101 Airborne Division owes you, son!"
This kind name warmed Parks his heart. He smiled and said, "General, the 101st Division does not owe me. If you want to say that there is a debt, it is also a matter of the Army Department. It's they who listen to other people's rumors!"
Taylor nodded and smiled, "Yes, I always believed that it was a rumor!"
Parks smiled at him gratefully and said, "Thank you, General. It means a lot to me."
Taylor nodded, then took out a stack of documents from his drawer, and then looked through them page by page. Parks knew that the document in General Taylor was the plan he wrote. He waited for General Taylor's inquiry. But Taylor didn't ask about his plan. He turned it over and looked at Parks calmly and said, "Do you know where your biggest characteristics come from?"
Parks was stunned, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, General!"
Taylor nodded and smiled at the other officers and Colonel Sink: "You know, his biggest impression on me is that he can go deep into the enemy's rear and carry out assault operations against the enemy, which is a new concept for the airborne division."
Colonel Sink nodded, which he fully believed.
Taylor then smiled and smiled at Parks and said, "So if you are allowed to fight with the Germans normally on the front, it's a little wasteful. There's nothing to do your best, right?" He said the last question to Colonel Sink.
"General!" Parks couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw that he did not mention the plan, but looked back on his past.
"Don't worry, kid!" Taylor smiled and said, "Do you think if there is such a task again, which company do you think will be more suitable?"
