Chapter 157 The results are different--
"Why don't we celebrate with the British?" Carper looked at the revelry of the British and Poles and couldn't help curling his lips and said, "Didn't we save them?"
"Shut up, Carbo!" Martin said to him.
"Hey, what did I say wrong?" Capper spread out his hands to the other brothers in a row and said incomprehensiblely, "Do I look like a clown or a fool?"
"Well, Kabo, we don't care about you. You're just a small role." Hubler shook his head and said, "The British will be grateful to us, and then greet you with their wine and women with big breasts, but all this can't happen until we go back to England. Who cares how you feel now?"
"Well, I have to get some air. Because... Oh, I don't need those damn reasons. I'll leave as soon as I want. Who cares about me?" Karbe walked out of the crowd with great dissatisfaction.
"I bet ten dollars. This guy must be showing off in front of the British!" White suddenly raised his hand and said, "Who else wants to bet? Daniel, do you want to bet?
"No, no, I don't want to waste my money on this guy. You can play by yourself!" Da Niu shrugged his shoulders at White, looking indifferent.
"Okay, okay, as soon as it comes to Carbo, this game can't be played!" White raised his hand and made a look of surrender. "But the British invited the boss over. Will you have a glass of tequila?"
"I don't know. Don't ask me. Why don't you wait for him to come out and ask yourself?" Randallman smiled, and then looked at the smiling Miller sitting not far away and shouted, "Hey, boy, do you feel very good or exciting now? The first time you go to the battlefield, you can be lucky to follow the boss to carry out such a crazy task.
"Yes...Yes, Monitor Landorman!" Miller still seemed a little restrained, but he was quite excited and even happy, and there was an emotion that wanted to spit out in his chest.
"Well, then you have to remember and learn from us well in the future. Maybe you will have a second or even third chance!" Randalman gave a thumbs up to Miller, Houghland and Huch, "You are qualified, very good!"
Although the brothers did not participate in the celebration of the British and Poles, they were very satisfied. After all, they are now saviors. White's guess is also very correct. Karber is now surrounded by many British paratroopers and Polish paratroopers like a star, happily boasting about his ability, attracting a burst of exclamation around him from time to time.
In the temporary joint command, the commanders are discussing the next step. Admiral Urquitt, Brigadier General John Forost, Admiral Sushaboski and Lieutenant Parks formed a strange tripartite delegation, which was in a heated discussion. There is hot coffee on their table. This was found by the British army from the German headquarters, and they obviously forgot to take it away.
"Give up? Give up here? No, no, General Urkert, this is not a joke. We finally occupied this place. At least we should stick to the arrival of the 30th Army. Admiral Sushaboski shook his head at Admiral Urkert, "The Germans retreated. Yes, I know they will make a comeback, but I don't think we can resist their attack."
Admiral Urt frowned and said, "I think there must be something wrong with our Allied headquarters. We were ordered to stick to the bridge for two days, but now we have been here for four days and have been hit hard by the German army. Their previous intelligence said that there were only old people and children here? Oh, God, what kind of shit information is that? Damn it! Why didn't the 30th Army come?
"Maybe they were delayed on the way!" Admiral Sushaboski couldn't help frowning. Obviously, after the communication with the Allied headquarters was interrupted, they actually couldn't understand why the 30th Army had not come.
"Maybe we can stick to it for a day or two, and then discuss whether to stay here!" Obviously, Brigadier General John Forrest wanted to be with the mud. Although he acted like a tough guy in the battle, he seemed a little hesitant in these arguments.
"Well, this is the third opinion! Three people!" Admiral Urkert shrugged his shoulders. "I really hope there will be a fourth opinion, and then we will go back to the starting point to argue."
Suddenly, three eyes looked straight at Parks. Throughout the debate, Parks did not say anything. Obviously, in the case of three opinions, the three generals projected their eyes on Parks.
Parks shrugged his shoulders and coughed dryly, "It's a good idea. It's all good."
This is obviously in vain. Although Parks was allowed to participate in the discussion and represent the third party, it was obvious that the other three did not ask for his opinions during the whole discussion. Parks also understands that he is just a lieutenant. I'm afraid he has any opinions. He just refers to the surname, or just for appearance. The British and Poles can't erase that face because of what they have done.
"Well, well, let's take the opinion of Brigadier General John Forster. Wait a day later, we'll make a decision." Admiral Urt wants to end this unpleasant meeting.
"Maybe we can listen to the views of the Allied Command, or find out to them why we can't wait for the reinforcements of the 30th Army, and then see the situation!" Parks finally added at the end of the breakup. Obviously, looking at the way everyone looked at him, he knew that he might make these people laugh.
"It's like this!" In order to try not to embarrass the lieutenant who saved the life of the British Empire paratroopers, Brigadier General John Forster decided to explain to him, "There is a problem with our communication equipment. We have been unable to contact General Browning since the beginning of the airborne, that is to say, we have Everything is done on the basis of speculation.
At this time, Parks stood up and looked at General Urgt and said, "What's the dilemma? We still keep a radio station. If your people can use it, I think there is no problem to contact General Browning. With that, he spread out his hand and said, "We have maintained radio silence since the beginning of the war. I don't know your embarism, so..." This is actually a small joke by Parks.
"Oh, God!" Admiral Urkert patted his forehead.
When he was about to say something, he suddenly heard the second lieutenant fiddling with the radio station shouting loudly: "General, we got in touch, we got in touch with them!" God, what a miracle!"
Eckert suddenly cheered up, and then quickly walked towards the second lieutenant. Parks shrugged his shoulders at Brigadier General John Forost and Admiral Sushaboski and smiled, "It seems that you don't need my radio station anymore!"
"It seems so!" Admiral Sushaboski smiled at Parks and said, "What do you think will happen to the Allies?"
"Why don't you wait to ask General Urkert?" Parks glanced in the direction of Admiral Urkert, and then saw Admiral Urkert's blue face, and even arguing with something over there.
"It seems that the situation is not good!" Brigadier General John Forrest looked at the two of them helplessly.
"It's terrible!" Admiral Urkert put down the receiver and came to the three people. "It's unbelievable that they didn't occupy the Nijmegen Bridge. God, the whole 30th Army stopped and waited to build a stronger pontoon bridge. God, we still have to hold on for at least four days until they were transported by ship from Britain. The materials to build a sturdy pontoon bridge can bring those damn heavy tanks across the river.
"Is this their decision?" Admiral Susaboski was obviously a little excited. "What do you say?"
"I said, we can't hold on for a day. My teacher was hit hard and didn't have the ability to hold on for another four days." Admiral Urkert shook his head in frustration and said, "Of course, this is all angry words!"
"Do we have to pay for the mistakes of the Allies? God, the Germans will be replenished at any time, and the soldiers are pressing the border. They shrink the defense line and gather all the troops. How many people do we have now? 5,000 people, I think we can't stand the re-armed German army for two days. And this is also the home of the German plane. Brigadier General John Forrest said extremely depressed words, even in the most difficult time, he did not say so.
"The key is that we lack food and clothing, heavy weapons, assistance, and even medicine! I'm afraid there are less than 4,000 people who can really pick up a gun and do it with the Germans. Parks's words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, which made the hearts of the three people cold. Even if he was as enthusiastic as Admiral Sushaboski, he had to consider this.
A brief discussion of four people suddenly became cold. The four of them didn't say anything. They all stared straight at the huge map in front of the table. From there, you can see: Desaker to Arnhem Bridge - 20 kilometers.
"So... what should we do?" Parks absolutely doesn't want to show up at such a general-level so-called tripartite talks.
"It seems that we have to carry out the order! The Germans will drive here immediately after receiving reinforcements, and they only need two to three hours to get here. And they received reinforcements from the Ruhr district, and it only took half a day at most. That is to say, we have less than a day to prepare from now on. Admiral Urkert couldn't help muttering to himself, "God, this is crazy!"
"Yes, but it's worth fighting, isn't it?" Admiral Sushaboski smiled and then looked at Parks and said, "Lieutenant, what do you think?"
"Maybe!" Parks nodded, and then shook his head and said, "Who knows?" Now the occupation is different from the original market garden action. It is really difficult to predict what the result will be.
He looked at Admiral Urkert and hesitated and said, "General, well, what can we, a U.S. military platoon, do to help you?" Obviously, Parks would never agree with this stupid idea of guarding the bridge. So he was determined not to get involved with these guys. When he spoke, he especially emphasized that he was just a platoon of people.
Admiral Urgt looked at him and shrugged his shoulders: "Well, I have to think about it, but you can rest now. I think I'll talk about it when I can help!"
"Thank you very much!" Of course, Parks will be polite. He nodded to Admiral Urkert, Admiral Sushaboski and Brigadier General John Flott and left!
