Chapter 172 It feels so good
When Parks was walking on the streets of the town, he kept meeting the people of the 506 regiment. No matter what they were doing, they stopped and stared at him in a daze. Obviously, the 506 regiment no longer knew Parks.
"Hey, that's Lieutenant Parks! He's back!" After someone stopped what was doing, he whispered to his companion.
"God, he is still alive."
"What the hell, this guy came out. Where did he come from? Hell? God, looking at his appearance, I almost thought so. I really don't know what he has experienced!"
... "Lieutenant Parks!" Among them, there are E Company and a row of brothers, who are much more straightforward towards Parks. When Parks came all the way, they gathered around and gradually gathered more and more.
"God, boss, I thought you couldn't come back!" Xifudi was called out by a brother of Company E who knew the news. When he saw Parks, he couldn't help squeezing over and holding Parks's hand hard. "You know, I... Thank you very much... I escaped. Really, boss, I want to go back to you! But..." Because of excitement, Xifudi's speech seemed to be a little incoherent, intermittent, and incomplete.
"He fainted, boss!" Da Niu Lan Daman beside Xifudi helped him explain, "He ran back all the way, but finally fainted after seeing us."
Gernelly smiled and said, "Yes, he fainted, but it made us very anxious!"
Parks nodded to Sifudi and said, "I know, I know, don't worry about it. I'm back now, and everything is over. Isn't it? Xifu brother!"
"Yes, yes, it's all over! Thank you, boss!" Xifu finally smiled on his face.
"Oh, Xifudi, you can finally eat potatoes now." Grenari shouted at him, and then everyone laughed. Xifudi couldn't help laughing. The lieutenant came back. What could be better than this? He has been living in guilt for the past two days. He can't sleep well and can't even eat.
"Well, brothers, the boss has just come back. Shall we let him go back to the company first?" Tybert shouted in the crowd, "Okay, let's all make way."
"Well, guys, if everyone is still so enthusiastic after our routine training in the future, I think he really likes me." Parks suddenly laughed.
All the brothers around laughed. Luz learned from Thorber's voice and shouted, "Go, horses, go three miles, come three miles."
Suddenly, there was another burst of laughter. Someone shouted, "Luz, forget it. Don't come to your promiscuous tone. The boss is not a black swan. He likes us!"
"Yes, yes, I like everyone very much, if you can give me a way!" Parks raised his hand and smiled. Soon the brothers dispersed and made way.
As soon as Parks took a few steps, he saw the Welsh Lieutenant coming. He couldn't help laughing at Parks and said, "Rees, I didn't expect to see you again. What a miracle. The Germans let you come back like this?" Then his hand held Parks's hand tightly and shook it vigorously. "It seems that you are unpopular with Germans and have been deported!"
"It seems so!" Parks tilted his head and smiled.
"But I still have to say whether I should punch you or kiss you!" As Lieutenant Wales led Parks to the company, he said, "I knew you would be fine. In fact, I'm not the only one who thinks so. Dick and Nick are the same. Let's go together. We will surprise them.
"I'm sorry, Harry! But I have to take that risk!" Parks shrugged his shoulders.
The Welsh lieutenant looked at Parks and smiled, "I know, if you don't try it, you're not Les? Parks. This is your style. You can't change it!"
Then he turned his words again, restrained his smile, and said solemnly, "To be honest, Les, it's my honor to carry out that task with you. I think I will fight for that opportunity again.
The two of them talked and laughed, and soon arrived at the entrance of the department. The door is open. Before he entered the door, Wales shouted in a loud voice: "Hey, Dick, I brought back some good news!" Then he walked into the company with Parks.
"Harry, it's better to have good news. I've had enough of these bad news!" Captain Winters was pouring coffee, and then he turned around, looked at the door, and couldn't help but be stunned. Nixon beside him stared at the door as if he had seen a ghost, holding a glass in his hand, with his mouth growing, and his eyes shining!
"God!" Nixon groaned in a low voice.
"Reese?" Winters then repeated, "Reese!"
Parks walked forward with a smile and stretched out his hand and said, "Yes, Dick, I'm back!"
Winters wanted to stretch out his hand, but he had coffee and a plate in his hand. He didn't know where to put it for a moment. He looked around and threw the plate into the trash can. Then he held Parks's hand tightly and said, "I'm glad you're back, Les. This is really a good thing. Breathe!" He said this to Wales, who had already sat down.
"Would you like a drink?" Nixon took a glass of wine and handed over the glass regardless of whether Parks agreed. "This is really good news, but it's also bad news!"
Winters, Parks and Nixon all turned their heads to look at him. Parks shrugged his shoulders and then looked at him and smiled. Nixon nodded and said, "You know, my wine, I'm worried about my wine. Damn, if you want to celebrate, how much do you have to drink? Then he laughed and said, "But who cares?"
The three of them couldn't help laughing. Knowing that Nixon would joke, Parks couldn't help smiling and shaking his head. Obviously, his return made Winters and others in a much better mood. And they are really happy for themselves. Among the officers of Company E, the three members of this company are indeed a relatively close small group.
" By the way, you haven't been to the regiment yet?" Nixon took a sip of his glass, "Coloon Sink will be very happy to see you. You should know that he has been worried these days.
"Worry?" Parks found a chair and sat down. He took a sip of the glass of wine handed over by Nixon. "Does it have anything to do with me?"
"Of course!" Nixon nodded, and then shook his hand with a glass at Winters and said, "Dick was brave in the battle of Wigher and captured a battalion of the German army, so Colonel Sink wanted to transfer him to the camp."
"Oh, that's great!" Parks couldn't help whistling and immediately raised his glass to Winters to congratulate him. Winters smiled at him and didn't care about what Nixon said.
"So the company commander of Company E will be vacant. Dick wants Colonel Sink to recommend you!" Nixon laughed and said, "And Colonel Sink also means the same thing. After all, you made the Germans run away in embarrassment. It also saved the lives of the British and Poles. But you didn't return to the team with a row of brothers, which made Colonel Sink difficult! However, fortunately, you are back. I don't think this problem will be difficult to solve!"
"So what do you mean?" Wales looked at Parks.
Parks looked at Winters. He was completely unprepared, because he knew that he was just a non-commissioned officer, from non-commissioned officer to officer and then lieutenant. The process was very short and had created a record of the promotion of American soldiers to officers. Now I have to be promoted to my own official again. This left Parks unprepared at all. It's not that he hasn't thought about what kind of reward he will get if this operation is successful. What he thinks most is the medal, the Cross of Merit for Service or the higher Congressional Medal of Honor, which is already a rich reward.
"This..." Parks suddenly spread his hand to Winters, "You're embarrassing me!"
Winters looked at him and said seriously, "Rees, I'm serious. I recommend you to Colonel Sink, and Colonel Sink also means the same. Brothers need a person who can lead them to victory and save their lives. They have to give their lives to the officers they think they trust the most. You can do it!"
"I agree!" Wales raised his hand with a smile.
Parks turned his eyes to Nixon. Nixon looked at him with a smile on his lips and said, "Don't look at me. Dick and I think the same thing. You have to do this responsibility. I know that after Dick learned that he was promoted, he has always been worried about the candidate for the company commander of the E company. His feelings for the E company are the same as us. Yes."
Parks nodded and said, "I know. This is also my responsibility. Don't worry, Dick." Then he squeezed his lips and hesitated and said, "I'm just a little worried. You know, I came from a non-commissioned officer, and it will be a big problem in terms of qualifications. Captain Sink may encounter unexpected resistance.
"That's his problem, isn't it?" Nixon smiled and raised his glass to Parks, "For Company E."
"For Sink!" I don't know when Wales poured a glass of wine, and also raised the glass and said loudly with a smile.
But Parks's return is indeed good news. And soon the regimental headquarters got accurate information. Parks had returned to Wigherr and went to the regimental department. After being confirmed, Colonel Sink suddenly stood up from his chair.
"You don't have to choose the company commander of Company E!" Lieutenant Colonel Stryll smiled at him. Obviously, he was in a good mood. After all, Parks' achievements have brought great changes to General Taylor and the voice of the 101st Division in the Allies. Although his disappearance was once regrettable and lacking, now that he is back, what could be more perfect than this?
"Yes, I think so!" Colonel Sink was in a good mood. He took a sip of a cigar and looked out of the window with a smile.
"But - is Lieutenant Parks's promotion..." The correctional of Stry was about to speak, and Colonel Sink stopped him.
"Give the nonsense of those opponents to hell!" Colonel Sink smiled and said, "This is what General Taylor said!"
