Chapter 197 Aftermath

Although Webster disapproves with Ligt's prisoner-killing behavior, he doesn't say much when it comes to his brothers. It is the wisest choice to forget this matter at the most.

Parks also did not intend to pursue the prisoner of war. He himself only turned a blind eye to Li Gaote's behavior, and even had a kind of acquiescence in it. Otherwise, he would not let Li Gaote escort the prisoners, because he knew that Li Gaote had the idea of killing the prisoners. And this idea may be stronger and bolder after the Spiel killing of prisoners.

But there is no impermeable wall. Although Parks didn't even talk about it in person with Li Gott in the company, Captain Winters still knew it. His first reaction was the same as that of Miller, which was incredible and unforgivable. For this reason, he specially asked Parks to go to the small studio of his own office in the camp to give himself an explanation.

"This is not a small matter!" Captain Winters felt a little uncomfortable while waiting for Parks. He rarely complained to Nixon, "This is not something we should do. I have to talk to Les."

Nixon shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I know you're in a hurry. You rarely do this."

Winters smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want to do this, but such behavior is definitely not worthy of encouragement. You know, we know. Maybe Colonel Sink already knows it. I must also warn him that he is causing trouble for himself!"

"I believe Les can handle it himself. Dick, I think it's because you can't let go of the brothers of E Company!" Nixon smiled at him and said, "You now have your own separate room in the camp, and you are no longer the company commander who is struggling with your brothers. You have your own job, and so does Parks.

"Well, I admit, I'm a little too worried!" Winters raised his hand and pressed down, "But there's nothing wrong with me doing this, Nick. I just want to help them!"

"I believe in you!" As Nixon said, he took out a small wine bottle from his waist and felt a little light. Then he shook his smile and said, "It seems that I'm looking for my own wine again!"

Winters couldn't help standing up, then went to the corner of the house, lifted the lid of a wooden box, shrugged his shoulders towards Nixon, walked over, took out a bottle of wine from the wooden box, and then poured it into the bottle, muttering, "I don't know why I can't change it?"

Winters sat down again and looked at the door. Before Parks had come, he sneered casually, "Do you mean drinking?"

"No, it's to hide the wine in your box!" Nixon said and took a sip of wine, "I'm already a captain!"

"Then why don't you just--" Winters dragged his voice, "Fal it!"

Nixon looked at him in surprise, and then smiled and said, "Extinence from drinking?"

Winters looked at him and said solemnly, "No, the habit of hiding wine in my cupboard! You are already a captain!"

Nixon smiled, then nodded and said, "Maybe you're right. This may be the best place for me to quit drinking! This is now the front position of the Allied attack.

Winters couldn't help shaking his head and smiling, and then looked at the door again. He heard the footsteps. I guess Parks had arrived. He stood up, tidied up his military uniform, and then squinted his eyes and saw that Nixon was looking at him with some fun.

"What's wrong?" Winters looked at him doubtfully and said, "Maybe there's something strange about me? Do you have horns on your head?

Nixon smiled and said, "I feel that you are very formal. Do you want to salute you when Les comes in? Or did you salute him first? Come on, Dick, why don't you think of this as a conversation between friends?

Winters was stunned, and then nodded thoughtfully, "Maybe you're right."

At this time, the door opened, but it was not Parks who came in, but a thin second-class soldier. He appeared at the door with a cup of coffee, and then skillfully closed the door, put the coffee cup in front of Winters, and was busy sorting out some messy documents on Winters' table.

"Who is he?" Nixon gave Winters a strange look.

"Cilinsky! Sir!" Without waiting for Winters to speak, the soldier nodded to Nixon and signaled, "It's Lieutenant Winters's service."

"Wow!" Nixon whistled and smiled at Winters, "After you were promoted to deputy battalion commander?"

Winters nodded with a smile: "You won't believe that the deputy battalion commander will be treated differently from the staff officer. I absolutely can't understand it before. I think I have to slowly adapt to someone to help me tidy up the table and so on."

"Consourier? This is the privilege of being an official, Dick. Chilinsky, I think you will definitely do something like pouring coffee. Nixon smiled at him and said, "Black coffee, no sugar!"

"Yes, sir!"

Chilinski was about to go out when they were pushed away again. Lieutenant Parks came in. He took a strange look at Chilinsky and was a little puzzled.

"It's a serviceman, Les!" Nixon laughed and said, "Maybe you can ask him to give you a bacon sandwich."

"A very good proposal!" Parks immediately understood that this was a scene that had appeared before, but the object was Heiliger replaced with himself, "Bacon sandwich." Watching Chilinski leave, he shouted in the back.

"Now, sit down and talk, Les!" Winters pointed to a chair in front of him, next to which was Nixon sitting. He smiled at Parks.

"Brothers, how are you now?" Winters coughed dryly and then found a topic. He doesn't want his conversation to look so abrupt that he can relax.

"Oh, Dick, you just came back from E Company for a few days. Look at their crazy performance that night and you will know how good the brothers are. To be honest, their condition is very reassuring!" Nixon smiled.

Parks nodded and smiled, "Nick is right. The brothers are in a good mood now. Of course, staying in the trenches now may be a little depressed, but on the whole, it's not bad. They seem to be able to vent their energy again!"

"Very good!" Winters nodded and then hesitated, "The battle that night was very good. Although Captain Sink was a little unhappy that day, he also mentioned it to General Taylor later, which was a good thing."

"I know, he will definitely let you convey the words. It's just that I don't want to take risks. Dick, I heard you say it. I know what to do. Don't worry!" Parks nodded to Winters.

Wentes was obviously hit by Parks. Nixon looked at him and shook his head. Obviously, Winters had not got to the point, which made Nixon a little funny.

"Dick, do you have to play this language trick with Les? I suggest you still have something to say!" Nixon Road.

"What?" Parks looked at Nixon and then at Winters. "I know something must have happened. Come on, Dick, even if there is something wrong with me, I hope we can be honest with each other. God, I don't want you to become like those bureaucrats. Words can make people choked to death!"

Winters coughed dryly and nodded, "Well, in that case, I'll tell you the truth. In the battle that night, you captured twelve German prisoners, but these twelve prisoners were found on the other way back. They were dead. Obviously, they were shot to death.

Parks was stunned, and then he understood that someone must have said something. He shrugged his shoulders and nodded, "Yes, I already know this."

"What are you going to say to Colonel Sink?" Winters looked a little serious. This makes Parks a little unaccustomed. Yes, he is not used to Winters treating himself with such a serious expression. After all, since the Tacoya barracks, Winters has a very harmonious relationship with him and has never said anything to himself like this.

"Okay, Dick, there's nothing wrong with Les. Don't make the same expression as Colonel Sink!" Seeing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Nixon quickly came out to round the road.

Winters may also realize that he is a little too serious, and can't help smiling apologetically, "I'm sorry, Les, you know, I care a little too much about this matter."

Parks nodded and said, "I know, you can't let go of E Company's brothers in your heart. Dick, it's not a big deal. We have done this, and the Germans have gone too far than we have done. We can't punish a brave soldier for this. He will demoralize his brothers.

Winters nodded and motioned Parks to continue.

"This matter was done by Li Gaote, but I didn't pursue it, and I didn't plan to pursue it." Parks said, "In this case, I can assure you that this will never happen in the future!"

Winters looked at Parks, nodded slowly and said, "I believe you! Les, I'm sorry to call you here. I know your mood, but--"

Parks suddenly smiled at Winters and said, "Don't care about this, I won't care about it."

At this time, Nixon whistled and said, "Well, there should be an explanation. But Rees, you'd better write a report and give Sink a reasonable excuse to explain!"

At this time, the door was pushed open again. Chilinski came in, holding a plate in his hand, which contained Nixon's coffee and Parker's bacon sandwich.

"It's just right!" Nixon remembered the coffee and took a good sip.

Parks also served a bacon sandwich and said, "A reasonable excuse?"

He took a bite of the bacon sandwich fiercely, chewed it for a while, swallowed it, and said with a smile, "It's not difficult for me. What I don't need most is a reasonable excuse for various events!"
