Chapter 325 Departure

President Truman basically didn't talk to Parks about military matters, but just about Parks' family life. In this regard, Parks didn't want to say anything more. But since the president asked, he had to talk about his parents who had not yet met, relying on the memories and fragments that were integrated together. But the situation of Parks' father still made President Truman sigh. But he still said something in the hope that Parks could show his ability and contribute to the country in the Pacific battlefield! Finally, we had breakfast together. President Truman left in a hurry. Until a bodyguard told Parks that President Truman had left Berchtesgaden. But this Parks already knew that President Truman was in a hurry to attend the triparts summit in Potsdam.

Now only General Taylor and General Weisman are left on the whole hall and the open balcony. The president's bodyguards have left, and only some gendarmes are guarding near the hotel. The three people sat down at a table, and then the conscripts brought delicious coffee.

General Taylor and General Wesman talked, which was nothing more than the development and form of the European battlefield and the Pacific battlefield. General Weisman also revealed the idea of fighting side by side with the 101st Airborne Division. But General Taylor was not very interested in it. On the contrary, Major Parks had nothing to say and couldn't interrupt. Because he already knew some things in advance, and there was no need to show his so-called foresight at this time. This is not wise.

Of course, the final topic can't be bypassed by Major Parks, because the purpose of the three people is here. It is impossible for General MacArthur to send General Weseman here to observe an exercise for no reason.

"I sincerely admire the achievements of the 101 Airborne Division, and in fact, these achievements are based on your leadership!" General Wesman took a sip of coffee and then said to General Taylor, "General MacArthur also noticed this and entrusted me to talk to you this time and convey my respect and greetings to you!"

"Thank you very much!" General Taylor also raised the cup of coffee, motioned to General Wesman, took a sip and put it down. "Please also convey my congratulations on General MacArthur's achievements. The war in the Pacific has completely biased towards him!"

"Ye-en, and, General. Well, for Major Parks, almost all Americans know his achievements. He is a great officer!" Wesman said, and then nodded and smiled at the person concerned, Major Parks, "Major, this is not touting you, it's the truth. Therefore, General MacArthur wants me to discuss with you whether Major Parks can lead his commandos to the Pacific Theater. I think the war in Europe is over now, and the Panther Assault Company is the elite of the 101st Airborne Division, and also the elite of the United States Army. Such a company should have its place to use it!"

Obviously, one of the purposes of General Weisman's visit this time is the Black Panther Assault Company, which can also be said to be the only purpose. The previous exercise observation was just his assessment of the combat ability of the company. If the expected combat purpose could be achieved, he would speak to General Taylor. If the name is not true, then he will go back empty-handed. But after an exercise, the combat ability of the Panther Assault Company has been very clearly demonstrated, and he can be used to carry out any special combat requirements, which is exactly what General MacArthur needs.

"I know what you mean, I can tell you very clearly, General, the Black Panther Assault Company is not only the unit of the 101st Airborne Division, but also the unit of the U.S. Army. If there is no problem with the army department, there is no problem here. I'm also very happy to have the opportunity to cooperate with General MacArthur!" General Taylor smiled and then said, "And you have to convince Major Parks that the Panther Assault Company is also his unit, right?" With that, he shrugged his shoulders slightly and spread his hands to Weisman.

Ask for the opinion of Major Parks? Obviously, it was just to make General Weisman not forget the commander of this company. This has fully taken care of Pax's face. In any case, as long as the Army Department agrees to mobilize, Parks will have to take his company to the Pacific theater immediately. No one can change it, even General Taylor.

"I have no problem here, General. I'm a soldier, and it's my duty to obey orders!" Parks also picked up the coffee and signaled to the two generals, "But General, our equipment still needs to be strengthened. To complete the needs of special operations, our light weapons are a problem. Brothers can't rely on rifles to complete those tasks. We need automatic weapons! I mentioned this in the report of the formation!"

"Automatic weapons?" Wesman couldn't help laughing and said, "We have a Thomson submachine gun, which is very good. It can do almost everything on the Pacific battlefield. No problem, this!" Obviously, he agreed too quickly, and some of them became more and more. Soon he realized the problem, and then smiled awkwardly at General Taylor apologetically.

"If it's just a submachine gun, of course there is no problem. General Weisman is right!" General Taylor smiled at Parks. Obviously, he took care of Wesman's face, and then winked at Parks. "This afternoon can surprise you, Major Parks, we have a new batch of military supplies, some of which are new automatic weapons, and other rooms. Maybe it will be full. It's enough for you!"

General Taylor was right. In the afternoon of that day, Parks saw a new type of automatic weapon. He took General Taylor's order and then received a brand-new automatic rifle with the brothers of the assault company.

And when Parks received this batch of automatic rifles, he couldn't help marveling. Isn't this the AK fully automatic rifle he designed? However, there are some changes in the shape design, and the buttstock has become a folding type, similar to the stock of the later AKC-74 improved rifle, and the internal structure of the whole rifle is more similar to that of the later Chinese Type 81 automatic rifle. It adopts gas guide type, bolt rotary locking, and can carry out single and continuous shooting. And these were originally mentioned by Parks in the design. And rifles can fire grenades, and can be equipped with sights and mufflers. Such a weapon is exactly what Parks needs, but what makes Parks entangled is that the magazine is not the kind of curved magazine familiar to in his previous life, but a straight magazine used by the U.S. military. Of course, this is related to the small copper core taper used in the bullet, but the bomb capacity has shrunk, only 25 rounds. Of course, there is also the use of machine gun version of drums, which solves the problem of supporting firepower. Now as long as the members of the company are familiar with these weapons, they will soon become a killing weapon on the battlefield. And the name of this rifle actually makes Parks laugh and cry, called PW45. If the guess is correct, this should be Virginia's personal bad taste. He abbreviated the first letter of Parks and Virginia's names. No matter how the shape of the gun makes Parks entangled, it is still his own work.

In fact, in the shooting training of the day, during the test firing process, Parks was very satisfied with the accuracy and range of the weapon. In the range, it was extremely lethal to a single target of 400 meters and a group target of 500 meters, while 2000 meters. It still has a certain lethality inside. This result is satisfactory, and the feeding speed of the magazine is relatively faster than that of the arc magazine, which makes the shooting speed also fast, but the speed leads to a decrease in the accuracy of continuous shooting.

Brothers are very satisfied with such weapons. Christenson received a machine gun for the squad. The bullet capacity in the big drum reached 75 rounds. This capacity of drums made it enough for only one person to make the machine gun.

"I like this thing!" This is what Chris Denson said. To be honest, it gives him a desire to shoot at will, without being limited by the bulky old-fashioned machine gun. One person shoots and one person supplies bullets. Of course, it is not only Chris Denson who is satisfied with the weapon. In fact, every brother who has used new firearms likes it. Although the accuracy is not as good as the M1 rifle in single-shot shooting, the continuous shooting feels like a storm, which makes them feel refreshed. Even those who have used the Thomson submachine gun like Karber can't put down this automatic weapon.

The improved Garand M1D0.30-inch sniper rifles were distributed to each class, and now each class has a fixed sniper. Although this improved sniper rifle surname is a little far from that of later generations, it is enough for the existing company. Of course, there are many other weapons and equipment.

The members of the

company have been throwing bullets at the target for the past two days. Parks knew that the hit rate was fed with bullets. He is good at this aspect. In the past few days, Parks was received by General Wesman again, and this time, he was even more clear about the future.

"We need your company now! Major Parks!" General Wesman came straight to the point and said, "The Army Department agreed to General MacArthur's request. You will be transferred to the Pacific Theater tomorrow for one day's preparation time."

"What kind of task is it?" Parks knew that there would be such a day, so he was not surprised at all. MacArthur sent a general over, obviously not looking at his own drill.

"I can't tell you this for the time being, and I can't even tell you the location." Wesman nodded to Parks and said, "Please forgive me for this, Major. You will know then!"

In the afternoon of the same day, Parks conveyed the order that the company would move to the Pacific Ocean. At that moment, the team members who were still excited to test the new weapon suddenly fell silent. Yes, this day will come sooner or later, but when it came, many people fell silent. Everyone has their own ideas. But now they can only obey orders.

Parks and Wales went to the battalion headquarters of the 2nd Battalion of the 506th Regiment. He had to say goodbye to Major Winters and Captain Nixon. The friendship gathered in the battle made them feel reluctant at the moment of parting.

"I hope we can meet in the Pacific Ocean!" Major Winters couldn't say anything. Although he looked a little gloomy, he still said his hope. He has submitted a request report to the top, and he hopes to follow the 13th Airborne Division, which is about to go to the Pacific Theater. Nixon handed four glasses of wine to each person.

With a "ding", it was touched together and made a crisp sound. This time, no one said for what, for what? This in itself is not clear.
