Chapter 299 Major

The patrol was unexpectedly cancelled by the brothers. Parks has known the reason for a long time. But he didn't say anything, and Nixon also took over the task of writing the report as Parks expected, which also made Parks happy. Anyway, Nixon is very clear about their operation in the regimental headquarters.

The next day, the regiment issued a promotion order for Second Lieutenant Jones. He promoted a second lieutenant to a lieutenant. The appointment was made at the battalion headquarters, and Captain Winters gave the lieutenant's silver bars and the order of promotion to Jones. The reason for promotion is to perform well in the first reconnaissance. He performed well because he obeyed the command of Lieutenant Welfare, did not step on the mine, and then returned safely. In the words of Parks's previous life, he went out to get soy sauce and then got a promotion.

At the same time, the promotion of Sergeant Tebert was also carried out by Captain Winters. He was promoted to second lieutenant and will be transferred from the regimental headquarters to the 502 regiment. Before leaving, he deliberately went to the company to meet Captain Parks. Because it is very important to him.

"This is the highest reward I have received so far in the whole war!" Second Lieutenant Typert wore a straight second lieutenant's uniform, and the copper star on his collar was shining. "I want to be with you. You know, when I think of leaving my familiar brothers, I feel... What should I say? I don't know how to describe that feeling, so I'm here to say goodbye to you.

Parks smiled and shook hands with him, then nodded and smiled, "I know, I know what it feels like to leave the brothers who have been together for nearly three years, Taibo, if it weren't for the promotion of that idiot officer, I would try my best to let you stay. Don't worry about what your brothers say about you. You're good, you're doing a good job! He has always been the most important member of the E company.

Such a high evaluation is very high. Recalling that since Tiber was a sergeant and a sergeant, he has indeed done a very good job. When the soldiers are depressed, he boosts morale, when fighting, he reminds his brothers to strictly execute orders, and provides accurate command and cover for his brothers. And it is a real bond between officers and soldiers. In the company, only a sergeant like him is Li Pu. The two have many similarities and can also provide the best help to their brothers.

"Thank you, boss!" When Tebert said goodbye to Parks, he no longer called him an officer or company commander. He called Parks a "head" again. The name began in Normandy, but after Tibert became a sergeant in the company, it was rarely said. It's a very kind and respectful name.

"Goodbye, Second Lieutenant!" When Parks said goodbye to him, he used his rank as a name, which was just to remind him that he would be an officer in the future and must have the standard of an officer. Although Second Lieutenant Tebert left the company with some regrets, his efforts finally paid off. His promotion was also a role model for other non-commissioned officers in Company E.

It's just that Lieutenant Welfare has a deep resentment about the promotion of Second Lieutenant Jones. After he heard that Jones was promoted to lieutenant, he went to the company to complain. He curled his lips at Captain Parks, who was sitting aside, and said, "I just scouted once! Jones is a West Point graduate and a member of the West Point Conservation Association, all of whom wear the rings of the Association. You are nothing without a ring!"

"I don't want you to think like this." Parks looked at him and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling, "If I were you, I would be smarter." For this matter, I think what I know is that the graduates of West Point will become an important force in peacetime. They have privileges and are a special group. We don't have to envy them!"

"What does this mean?" Lieutenant Foley looked at Parks Road doubtfully. In his mind, he led the patrol task, and the promotion was the second lieutenant who ran all the way and did nothing. No wonder he has some imbalance in his heart.

"If you can't be compared with them, then join them!" Parks looked at Lieutenant Foley and said, "If I were you, or if I wanted to serve in the army after the war, I would go to West Point. You have medals and successful cases. Why can't you be one of them?

Although the reasons are a little far-fetched and Lieutenant Welfare is still a little sentful, there is nothing we can do. Any army has a group of privileged classes. This is not something they can change.

On February 20th, E was connected to the order, and they will become the reserve team again. When Parks conveyed this order, the brothers finally had an excited look. For this reason, before leaving, Cobb and Wiseman also risked being hit by German snipers to collect the wine hidden in the cellar of the house along the street.

On this day, Captain Nixon brought his promotion order to Captain Winters, and handed him a box containing a golden oak leaf emblem. He saluted him and said, "Congratulations, Major!"

Winters opened the box and looked at a golden oak leaf emblem lying inside. He didn't make a sound for a long time. Then he said to Nixon, "Where's Leth? Has he been promoted? This is also what he cares about.

"Yes, just like you. He is on his way to the regimental headquarters now. When Nixon said this, he saw that Winters' pupils were a little contracted and couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry, he won't go to the regimental headquarters to serve as an uninteresting regimental staff officer like me. At that time, it was a waste of his talent. Colonel Sink will personally promote him. I think maybe you don't want to see Colonel Sink's face that makes you want to punch, so you brought your promotion order here.

"I'm proud of Les!" Winters couldn't help smiling on his face, "You completely understand my mind. But Les must be the reason why Sink doesn't want to let him go. After all, Les has contributed a lot to the 506 regiment!" With that, Nixon also laughed: "Reth has to bear it. What I hate most is the atmosphere. When facing my superiors, it's really unbearable to look at their condescending faces. Poor Reese, Amen!" With that, both of them laughed.

Sure enough, as Nixon said, when Parks was in the regimental headquarters, the school-level officers looked at him. Although they were smiling and nodding, no matter how they looked at it, they all had a condescending posture. What Colonel Sink said when issuing his rank order made him feel a little depressed.

"I'm glad to tell you, Captain Parks, your rank of captain has been honorably removed!" Colonel Sink said something, and he was making a mystery, although everyone knew what was going on. Then he opened the box he had held in his hand for a long time, with a golden oak badge lying in it. "Now on, you are promoted to major officer. Work hard!" With that, he personally took off the captain's silver bars for Parks, and then pinned the golden oak leaf badge for Parks to his collar.

"Thank you very much!" Major Parks nodded to Colonel Sink and then shook hands with him politely. Although I was also looking forward to this moment, when I really put on the logo of the oak leaf emblem, my mood was much calmer. I deserve it, and I have paid a lot for it, and my brothers have also suffered the great trauma of war.

"I originally wanted you to advise me in the regimental department, but Dick wanted you to be his helper. I also think this suggestion is very good. You can clean it up later and report to Dick!" Colonel Sink motioned Parks to sit down. By this time, the sacred promotion ceremony was over, and everyone relaxed and sat in the regimental headquarters to chat.

Colonel Sink watched Parks sit down, then he ordered a cigar, spewed a puff of smoke, and said to Parks, "Rees, do you have any suggestions for the candidate of Company E Company?" Originally, he could have made a decision on this matter by himself without discussing it with anyone, but unlike other companies, this company has achieved brilliant results under the leadership of Parks. Although the brothers in E Company do not have the awareness of such heroes who have achieved great achievements, their deeds have become household names in China and have been praised by the whole country. So he decided to listen to Parks' opinion.

Parks thought for a while, and then said to Colonel Sink as if he had made up his mind: "If I had to make a suggestion, I think Lieutenant Hailig would be a good choice."

A smile appeared on Colonel Sink's face and he nodded and said, "Lieutenant Hailiger is also my choice. Very good. You can go through the handover formalities with him now.

"Yes, sir!" Major Parks stood up and walked outside, but he was soon stopped by Colonel Sink.

"Wait, Les!" Colonel Sink watched Parks stop, turned to look at him, came over, handed him a box and an appointment order, and said, "This is Heeliger's appointment. I think he will be very happy if you give him the rank of captain. There is also the appointment document of the company commander. You can take it with you!"

This is expected. Heilige deserves to be promoted to company commander and rank. And this result is several months later than what he originally got. This makes Parks a little entangled, because all of this has changed because of himself. Helliger was excited when he accepted the two silver badges issued by Parks and the order to be promoted to him. Yes, Company E is another peak of his career, especially those who serve in this company know what kind of company it is!

"Sir, I don't know what will happen in the future, but I will take good care of my brothers!" Captain Helliger was excited about Parks. He knew that he could not achieve a record like Parks, but he could protect his brothers like Major Parks and let them not make unnecessary sacrifices.

"Very good!" Parks patted Captain Hailige on the shoulder and nodded. At this time, Nixon waved to him not far away, and Company E was about to leave the front line. There was a jeep parked beside him, and Major Winters was sitting in the cab of the car. He also looked at Parks.

"Do it well!" With that, Major Parks walked towards Major Winters and jumped into the jeep. The car started, roared, and then slowly left the front line along the muddy road.
