Chapter 349 Retention Issues
After more than 20 days of sailing, the whole fleet arrived in New York. During this period, on August 30, 1945, the battleship Missouri moored in Tokyo Bay officially signed the surrender ceremony. The surrender ceremony was three days earlier than in history, all because Parks' rescue operation in Shenyang forced the atomic bomb to be dropped on Japan in advance, and the Soviet Union launched an early attack on the northeast of China. History has changed a little, but it can never stop its wheels from moving in its original direction.
Although sailing on the sea is a little boring, it is good to enjoy wine, steak and even various fruits on board. In this way, it can finally make the brothers feel more stable when they approach New York. Parks also learned something on the way. Colonel Sinke, the commander of the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, became the deputy commander of the 101st Airborne Division, while General Taylor left the 101st Airborne Division on August 22 and entered the Army Department, and then transferred to the principal of the West Point. The fate of the 101 Airborne Division is uncertain, which is Parks' most worrying thing. Emotionally, he absolutely can't stand it. He served in this company and became brothers with everyone in this company. He hasn't heard from Major Winters and Captain Nixon so far, but it doesn't matter. The important thing is that if the 101st Airborne Division existed, they would exist.
Parks has always believed that if the 101st Airborne Division had not been disbanded and Major Wiwright had been disappointed with the military's approach, he would never have left the army. Even if he wanted to live a peaceful life, there was no doubt that the barracks life without war was his best choice.
The fleet gradually approached New York. The ship shook gently in the waves of the sea, and the waves kept splashing on the face on the deck of the ship. The salty smell and the sea breeze made everyone feel happy. They went home! These days, in addition to being with Captain Wales and his brothers, Parks went to chat with Major General John.
The closer they are to home, the more the topic of brothers is hidden. Many people are looking forward to the life of going home. They plan and give each other ideas, but there are also some people who want to stay in the barracks, which is much more comfortable than those who live in the war.
"I hope to go back to San Francisco to find a job in a taxi company and earn money from those returning sailors, and then I want to find a good Jewish girl with super-large breasts and charming smiles!" Li Gaote held his chest with both hands on his chest, and then smiled at Luz beside him, "What do you want to do? Luz!"
"Me? I haven't figured it out yet. It's hard to find a job now. Maybe I will continue to stay in the army. Of course, if the boss continues to stay in the army, I think this should be a good choice. It should be good to work with the boss!" Luz shrugged his shoulders and spread out his hands and said, "God, isn't it a little too early for us to plan this now?"
"The war is over. What's your purpose here?" Cobb came over and heard the conversation between the two. He couldn't help shaking his head and said, "Ruz, have you ever thought about this kind of day? Although there is no war, I hate training. I hate getting up so early every day. I want to sleep comfortably in ** and hold a blonde beauty in my arms! A beautiful and charming day will start like this!"
"Hey, Eugene, what do you want to do?" Toi suddenly touched Medical Officer Luo beside him. He smiled and said, "I think the best thing I can think of is to marry a girl and then find a job. No matter what job it is, I am willing to do it. Of course, if I can, I may continue to stay in the army, as Luz said, if the boss continues to stay.
"Me?" Medical officer Luo smiled and said, "I don't know yet. Let's take it one step at a time. My work in the army is over. There is no war, and I don't want to stay here anymore. I hate to hear those screams. I think I'll go to Baston!"
"Oh, God, do you still want to experience life there?" Toy couldn't help shouting, and then Luz shouted loudly. He clapped his hands and laughed at Dr. Luo, "Battlefield love, great, Eugene. I thought you were just a temporary **. Are you serious? I think this is the most wonderful love!"
"That's a beautiful girl. If she has a Jewish girl's oversized breasts, maybe I will consider competing with you!" Toy couldn't help laughing and patted the doctor Luo on the shoulder. "If so, I support you. If you invite me when you get married, I will definitely go, even in Baston! Although I don't like that place!"
"I also want to participate, Eugene, will you invite me?" Frank?? Paconti couldn't help shouting, "You know, I've been hoping to find a job at the post office. Maybe I'll mail you to Baston as a gift for the bride!"
Everyone's planned life after returning home is different, but they all have their own plans. They all want to live a peaceful life, even those brothers who want to stay in the army.
Parks talked about this with Captain Wales for the first time. He was also confused about his post-war life, and he didn't know how to go. Whether to stay in the army, stay in New York to help Virginia, or find a job in New York and live with Virginia, of course, he doesn't know how to deal with Jeff's relationship. Despite that ridiculous night, does that mean that everything will be solved? What about it? This is impossible. You can see what she means from the fact that she left without saying goodbye.
"I have been invited to be the executive director of a primary school." Captain Wales smiled at Parks and said, "You know, I may not be good at teaching, but I'm still more suitable for the administrative, just like in the E company and the assault company. I'm used to this way of working! If it's Dick, how should he choose?
"I think he will continue to stay in the army if possible. Of course, don't forget Nick. He is the heir of the Nixon family. His family runs a fertilizer company. Even if he can't find a job, he will provide Dick with a job opportunity to work. I'm not worried about this at all! I'm just thinking that if I can, I really want to serve with him in the army again. Parks smiled.
"Ay are you not tired of life in the army?" Captain Wales looked at him and couldn't help shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know, Harry, I don't think I've figured it out yet. Of course, I can still go to West Point to study. You know, my medal gives me the right to make this choice, and then continue to stay in the army until I retire. Parks looked at the distance and watched his brothers get together and talk about the future. He suddenly felt that all this was an illusion.
Stay in the army? It's not that he didn't think so. He lived in such an environment from his previous life to this life. The military camp seemed to constitute the main color of his two lives, making his life full of legends and full colors. And the feelings with those brothers make these colors more colorful. He can't put it down so easily. The loss that he put down may not be able to bear it.
The fleet landed in the port of New York. What Parks didn't expect was that they received the warmest welcome. On the day they arrived, Parks looked at the crowded port, the cars with whistles and the cheering crowd on the street. He couldn't help but feel a little stunned and said to the Welsh captain, "God, our team. Is the U.S. president accompanied by the army?
The Welsh captain also shook his head in surprise and said, "I don't know, God, this is crazy!"
It's really crazy. The whole New York is welcoming them, because they are heroes. What they didn't know was that as early as they successfully rescued more than 1,500 prisoners of war and more than 40 senior Allied generals, governors and judges and adults, newspapers and radio stations across the United States began to promote their victory and their rescue of prisoners of war. To a large extent, it is because all this is the last battle of the U.S. military against fascism. Coupled with the surrender of Japan, people brought the atmosphere of celebrating victory to the highest peak.
With a bang, a hot girl took the initiative to give her kiss to Luz, and Luz responded enthusiastically. The two hugged each other as if no one was around, and there were more flowers sent by people. Everyone was almost full of all kinds of bright flowers. New York Municipal Axe even organized a drum band, which walked in front of Parks's team and led them forward.
"Where are we going?" The Welsh captain kissed each other with a girl, and then smiled at Parks, who was full of flowers, and said, "I feel confused. The military didn't explain what they want to do? Shall we go with the group of guys in line to beat the drums in front of us?
"I don't know. Damn it, who is in charge of this activity? I don't want to show it here like this. I feel like a monkey!" Parks couldn't help complaining. It is not the first time that the brothers of Company E have experienced such a scene. They kissed the girls skillfully, and then took the flowers handed over by the citizens very well. They even had time to complain about why no one sent good wine, no one sent cigarettes, fruits and so on.
"Don't complain about this. Listen to this music. We just entered New York with a waltz, and we don't have to worry about someone still rocking at us here." White shook his head at Capper, who hugged the girl and hugged the flowers while kissing her, and said, "Be contented. We have received enough preferential treatment. Although I don't like it!"
"Look at that group of people!" At this time, Luz touched White with his hand and said, "Look at those hillbilly, I think this is the first time they have experienced such a scene, God, these poor guys!"
Following the direction of Luz's fingers, the rescued American soldiers and the Allied generals and governors saw such a scene, and some people couldn't help but shed tears, Edward? Major General Jin held an old man tightly and finally burst into tears. He used to think like General Wainwright. He was uneasy and afraid that he would not know how to face his country after returning to China. He was worried that he would be tried for treason and become a disgrace in the history of the U.S. military, but now, all his burdens The heart has turned into nothing.
"You are heroes!" The old man hugged Major General Jin tightly and said the word "hero" in his ear loudly and repeatedly.
Heroes are not only a tribute to the winners, but also a relief to those forced losers.
The streets of New York seemed to be celebrating the festival. After walking a distance, a middle-aged man in a suit suddenly squeezed over. He asked around in the line, "Who knows Major Parks?" I need to find him!"
"Ask later! He should be there!" Granary shouted at him loudly. The voice was so noisy that he had to raise his voice.
"Thank you very much!" The middle-aged man nodded, and then continued to squeeze back in a sweat.
"Hajor Parks!" The man finally found Parks. He shouted at Parks, "Major, our mayor of New York City wants to see you. They are in New York Square, where there is a welcoming crowd of us. He wants to invite you to the Square and talk to the citizens of New York. Of course, this invitation includes your team, all the members!"
Parks was stunned as soon as he heard it. Obviously, he didn't expect that the mayor of New York City would have such a hand, and he had to let himself give a speech. More importantly, in these teams, there are many superiors such as the rescued generals and governors. Why did they let them give speeches? Then he soon understood what was going on.
The United Nations Constituent Assembly, initiated by the United States, the United Kingdom, China, the Soviet Union and France in early 1945 and invited the signatories of the Joint Declaration of the United Nations, was held in San Francisco on February 25. At that time, more than 280 representatives from 50 countries and more than 1,700 consultants, experts and journalists attended the event. Based on the recommendations of the Dumbarton Rubber Park Conference, the United Nations Charter was drafted after more than two months of discussion. On June 25, representatives of various countries unanimously adopted the charter at the San Francisco Opera House. On the 26th, the Constituent Assembly was signed by representatives of various countries in the auditorium of the Veterans Memorial Hall in San Francisco. This means that the United Nations has been established, and on October 24 in history, the charter officially came into effect. It seems that the mayor of New York wants to have a political show at this time to add points to himself politically, and the heroic return of Pax is exactly what he needs, which will be for his future politics and campaign. There are a lot of extra points.
