Chapter 129 Task assignment

Obviously, General Taylor's words made Parks a little confused. Is there such a task again? What is such a task? Like last time, go deep into the rear of the German army and then carry out rescue? But the key is, who else should be rescued now? The war hasn't started yet. Even so, it is impossible to take risks deep into the enemy's rear and wait for anyone in the heavy siege of the German army.

"General, if there are similar tasks, I think the best company is the E Company of the 506th Regiment!" Parks did not lie. In comparison, the officers and soldiers of Company E were trained more strictly, and it was the only company that had adjusted and trained according to his own advice. There were many physical differences from other companies.

Taylor listened and couldn't help nodding and smiling, "I appreciate your frankness, but I also think so."

"Thank you, General!" Parks smiled. He had a good impression of General Taylor. At least he was not so bureaucratic. Being able to call himself here and talking to himself was a manifestation of his very open-up.

"Do you know your general?" Taylor still didn't talk about Parks's plan, but turned around and smiled at Parks.

Parks nodded and said, "Yes. I have communicated with General Li several times.

"He appreciates you very much!" General Taylor smiled and said, "He said that you are the best soldier of the 101st Airborne Division and the pride of the 101st Division. I agree with this very much. I believe that the commander of Sink will not have any objection!" With that, he smiled at Colonel Sink with his right hand.

"Yes, I always think so!" Colonel Sink nodded and smiled. General Taylor's appreciation of Parker was actually his affirmation of the 506 regiment, which made him feel very comfortable.

"Thank you, General!" Parks is still unclear, but he maintains very good courtesy and humility.

Taylor nodded, as if he appreciated his attitude. He paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, and did not continue to talk, which made the division suddenly quiet, and no one made a sound. They were afraid of disturbing the general's thinking. Because they can see that General Taylor is thinking about it.

After a long time, General Taylor opened his mouth. He finally said that the plan came: "The problems mentioned in your plan are really good. As a junior officer, I am surprised that I can consider such a comprehensive problem. Good plan!"

Parks nodded. He didn't say anything. He knew that the general had something to say, but he finally got to the point, which made him a little excited and looked forward to it.

"But..." General Taylor's hesitation made Parks's heart tighten. Although he knew his plan, and it was almost zero to persuade the upper class to change his mind or make drastic adjustments, he still had some expectations, but Taylor's tone made him feel that it was just a show. It's just a show of buying subordinate officers and establishing a good image of the upper commanders.

"It's unrealistic for us to spend countless money and adjust the deployment of troops for your speculation!" General Taylor looked at Parks, who was a little disappointed, and shook his head and said, "We are spending countless energy and money on this, and you can't show evidence, which makes it difficult for me to convince those guys!"

Parks knows who those guys he is talking about. The proposal of this operation, General Montgomery and Louis, the commander of the Allied First Airborne Corps? General Bretton.

"Yes, General, I know!" Parks was a little depressed. He nodded and then wanted to leave this place urgently. Anyway, the result was the same. He had tried his best. What else could he do? Now he finally understands that even if he travels through time and understands the direction and cause and effect of the war, the little people can't change the ending after all. The wings of the Amazon butterfly are incited, and it may not be able to set off a tornado in Texas.

"So-thank you for coming, Parks!" General Taylor took Parks's hand again and nodded to him. This was a sign of farewell!

Parks took General Taylor's hand, then let go of it, shrugged his shoulders at him and said, "Thank you very much for seeing me, although--" He didn't say anything. He knew what was going on. If he didn't say it, General Taylor would know it. So he saluted the army, then opened the door and walked out.

Coloe Sink did not come out. He was kept by General Taylor.

"Do you think it makes sense for us to do this?" General Taylor watched Colonel Sink sit down, then nodded and smiled at him, "I know Parks is a good officer, but we don't have much time!"

Sink smiled bitterly and said, "It's better than doing nothing, General. We just pulled out a platoon of troops, which is irrelevant to the overall situation. If we can get information, we will let those arrogant British people think about it.

"Okay! Let's try it!" General Taylor nodded.

Parks didn't know what General Taylor would do, but he was already disappointed. He thought that Taylor was an open-up general, and now it seemed that he was just grandstanding, and there was no essential difference from other upper-class figures.

Parks walked out of the division, then took a look at the night sky and couldn't help taking a deep breath. Not far away, Winters was leaning against the lights of the jeep and couldn't help smiling as Parks came out.

"How's it going?" Winters looked at Parks with a bad face and couldn't help saying, "Is it not going well?"

Parks nodded and then got into the car. Winters said to the driver, "I'll drive!" With that, he occupied the cab. Parks sat next to him, and the car returned the same way. The air in the night sky seems to be a little solemn in the dullness.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine. We'll be ready." Winters didn't know how to comfort Parks, but he tried his best to relax Parks, which was the only thing he could do.

"I know, Dick!" Parks took a deep breath, "I just feel that my personal strength is too small."

Winters smiled and said nothing. The car shuttled through the camp. At this time, the soldiers had fallen asleep, and the sentries were wandering around, a little lazy.

Parks refused Winters' invitation, left the company, and then wandered quietly in the night alone. He should make good use of the silence to think about the problem.

"Who is it?" At this time, a voice came from Parker's side, "The password!"

"Lightning!" Parks said loudly, and then looked at the soldier who came to him cautiously, "Is it Private Miller?" Parks said to him, "I'm platoon leader Parks!"

"Is it... the platoon leader Parks?" It was Private Miller who came. He just changed Sergeant Randalman's class tonight. When he saw Parks, he suddenly felt very nervous. "I, I didn't know it was you, Lieutenant Parks!" He stammered.

"Relax!" Parks looked at his nervous look and couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, sir!" Miller straightened his chest and tried to stand up. He was completely out of his inner respect for Parks, which came from some of the achievements of the 101st Airborne Division about Parks, and the veterans showed respect and love for him when they talked about him.

Parks smiled and then smiled at him, "Are you afraid?"

"What?" Obviously, Miller's attention was a little absent, and he was still in a state of excitement. It was the first time for him to talk to Parks at such a close distance.

"If you want to hold your life in the war, you must be prepared to fight before skydiving. War is cruel, but you must believe in every brother around you, trust them and rely on them!"

"I see, sir!" Miller nodded.

"Okay, keep working!" Parks nodded and then smiled at Miller, "Keep yourself in good shape!"

Miller nodded, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly looked a little awkward. He looked at Parks and seemed to stop talking. Parks didn't wrinkle gently and said, "Is there anything else?"

"Well, you know how lucky I am to fight with you. I just want to tell you, sir. No matter what the result is, I'm proud to be with you in your row!" Miller's face looks a little serious.

Parks knew that it was his heartfelt. He nodded and then smiled and said, "Me too."

Watching Miller leave, Parks suddenly became cheerful again with a little gloomy heart. Yes, no matter what the result is, being able to serve and fight with these heroes is the most valuable experience in life. What are you still asking for? Let nature take its course. Parks suddenly smiled at the night sky. Then walk to the barracks.

He wants to give himself a good sleep.

But Parks's wish to have a good sleep did not come true, because when he first arrived at the barracks, Captain Winters also came over. He looked solemn and seemed to have something on his mind!

"Dick?" Obviously, Parks was a little surprised by Winters' sudden visit. After all, the two just broke up.

"The latest combat briefing!" Winters looked at Parks with a serious face and took out an order in his hand and handed it to him.

Parks took the briefing and then looked at the order above. Suddenly, there was a smile on the corners of his mouth and said, "It seems that General Taylor still wants to try his luck. He surprised me."

Winters frowned and said, "Rees, can't you see how difficult this task is? God, this is really crazy. I always feel like there is no return.

"Is it crazy than the last time I broke into the German command?" Parks smiled.

Winters looked at him and said solemnly, "Rees, you know that you will lead a platoon, and they will all make sacrifices for it."

Parks nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will ask them for advice. What I need is volunteers."

"Well, get ready!" Winters nodded, and then solemnly saluted Pax.

"It's the end to come back alive!" Winters put down his hand and patted Pax's arm. "Brothers will only care about this! Do you know?"
