Chapter 358 Answer
Parks has his own separate dormitory and office at West Point, which is a preferential treatment as an instructor. Of course, Principal Taylor extended a warm welcome to the arrival of Parks. To be honest, he thought Parks would obey General MacArthur's call. Now everyone in the United States can recognize the form. It is only a matter of time before the United States [***] team is involved in the outbreak of the Korean War.
"Look what I brought with me!" When Taylor pushed open the door of Parks' office, Parks was reading, and then he saw a bottle of whisky in General Taylor's hand.
"I heard that in the 101 Airborne Division, if anyone can drink better than General Taylor, that person must be Colonel Sink." Parks greeted him with a smile, and then gave up a seat for General Taylor to sit down. He took out two wine glasses from the cabinet next to him and put them on the stool between them.
"That's a guy who gives me a headache!" General Taylor couldn't help laughing, and then pulled out the stopper of the wine bottle and poured wine on the two glasses. "Rece, I'm sorry, I've been saying this to every soldier of the 101st Airborne Division, but I didn't have a chance. You know, sometimes you can't help it.
"General, do you mean that the 101 Airborne Division was disbanded?" Parks picked up his glass, then raised it and smiled at General Taylor and said, "Yes, we were all very depressed at that time. Although I was still in the assault company, you know, the feelings of our 101 airborne division, we have experienced too many wars and tribulations, but we have also established deep feelings. This is very special, but after all, it has passed. No one will blame you. On the contrary, we are very grateful!"
"Well, I admit that I shouldn't have come to talk about this heavy topic." General Taylor couldn't help nodding and smiling, "I'm very strange about your arrival. I also know that General MacArthur also wants to summon you. Maybe you want to escape?"
Parks couldn't help shrugged and said, "Yes, General. I don't want to hide anything from you. I want to escape. You know, I have seen enough blood, and now the world is at peace. The Koreans didn't attack us. I don't want to be involved in the war far away from us. Everyone knows that this conscript is to prepare for the war in Asia.
"What a pity!" Taylor nodded and then took a sip of wine. What a pity? Parks didn't know whether he said it was a pity that he did not respond to General MacArthur, or that he felt sorry for the war that the U.S. military might be involved in in the future. He saw that General Taylor didn't say anything, and he didn't say a word.
"I - there has always been a problem!" General Taylor pondered, "If the 101st Airborne Division had not been disbanded, would you have left the army, or would you have always been in the commandos of the 101st Airborne Division?"
Parks didn't know what he meant by asking, but he still followed his heart. He nodded and said, "Yes, General, I will stay in the 101 Airborne Division, and I will regard this as a career until I retire!" You know, I have a special feeling for the army, just like my home. In fact, I have a way to get rid of General MacArthur in this recruitment, but I just want to go back to the barracks again. It's just that I left because of disappointment at that time. At this time, I entered because of nostalgia. I need a barracks without war! The army does not exist for war, but for peace!"
"Are we talking about philosophy?" General Taylor couldn't help laughing when he heard Parks's words, "But anyway, I'm still very happy with your arrival. You are the best officer I have ever met, but I agree with you that I don't want another war. Compared with MacArthur, I'm an anti-war person. With that, he stood up, put down the glass, stretched out his hand, and shook it with Parks. "Stay here at ease. We will meet often.
"This is what I think!" Parks nodded, then sent General Taylor out and went all the way to the door, opening the door of the office for him. "I'm looking forward to seeing you often. You know, it's not easy to chat with a veteran of the 101st Airborne Division, now!"
General Taylor was stunned, and then smiled with relief. He turned around and walked out for a few steps. He turned around and made a shooting gesture at Parks and smiled, "I'm a veteran of the 101st Airborne Division!" He left without looking back. Obviously, this meeting made him release some of the backlog in his heart.
The life of West Point Military Academy is a bit like the life at Tacoya Training Base, with very regular work and rest time and training subjects. However, on the basis of the original, Parks made some adjustments to the training subjects, and let these students experience the unconventional way of special operations, allowing them to experience it themselves outside the textbook.
It's just that this time, Parks is a trainer, and those recruits are trained. Of course, these students have no objection to Parks' training, but stimulated their strong desire to show their best in front of Parks, which is a great honor to be praised by Parks, because Parks has always been the idol of ordinary modern American soldiers, from 194 From 4 years to 1950, this was the case, because no ordinary soldier and officer could achieve such a brilliant record as Parks. He can be said to be the first American soldier now. Of course, this does not refer to those generals who have made great achievements. Ordinary officers are more likely to be admired by soldiers, because Parks is a miracle created step by step from soldiers to officers.
After talking to General Taylor, General Taylor seemed to be preparing something. Because at this time, the situation of the Korean War has deteriorated for the United States. The North Korean army** On June 26, U.S. President Truman ordered the U.S. Far East Air Force stationed in Japan to assist South Korea in the war. On the 27th, he once again ordered the U.S. Seventh Fleet to sail into the two ports of Keelung and Kaohsiung to patrol the Taiwan Strait and block Stop the People's Liberation Army from liberating Taiwan. The U.S. representative to the United Nations also submitted a motion to the Security Council, which was passed in the absence of the Soviet delegation at 13:1, which led to the United Nations to successfully pass the above three resolutions and form a joint [***] team. The United [***] is led by the U.S. military, and the other 15 countries also sent a small number of troops to participate in the war. The United Kingdom, Turkey, Canada, Thailand, New Zealand, Australia, the Netherlands, France, the Philippines, Greece, Belgium, Colombia, Ethiopia, Luxembourg, South Africa and the National Defense Forces of the Republic of Korea are all under the command of the U.S. Far East Army, and Admiral MacArthur is the commander of the U.S. Far East Army. On July 5, the U.S. military participated in the first battle against North Korea.
History has finally reached the inevitable step, and Admiral MacArthur has taken his steps for this war. And his failure is destined to come after all.
At Camp Shanks in New York, many people are preparing. The Black Panther Special Forces have been ordered to go to North Korea in Asia, and after the U.S. military officially intervened in North Korea, they are preparing for this war. Everyone's face showed a solemn look. This force has shown a very strong combat effectiveness in recent years. This is also an important force that MacArthur relies on.
Lt. Colonel Hailiger stood on the field of the barracks. He set out from here several times and made remarkable achievements in his expeditions to America and Asia. Every time they performed a mission, they could complete it well, which once made him very proud. But this time, he suddenly felt a little restless in his heart. In the special forces, Hefran has been promoted to lieutenants. Hubler and Toy are veteran sergeants. They have high prestige in the whole special forces. Kanty and Cobb were injured in the last two operations. They stayed in the Marine Corps hospital and have not yet been discharged. I can't make it this time.
"Middle Colonel!" Someone is calling him. Hailige looked back and saw that it was Hubler. He looked a little nervous, but he still held a few newspapers in his hand. In these newspapers, he saw a person's head. It can be said that this person impressed Hailige and could not even forget it in his life. At that time, the head of Parks.
"Yes, it's the boss!" Hubler said and handed over the newspaper in his hand. "Toy bought it on the street of New York yesterday. I think you should have a look on it!" Hooborough nodded, then turned around and left. He was shocked to see Parks appear in the newspaper yesterday. Then he read the newspaper, and his heart couldn't help shaking.
"Have you shown it to Lieutenant Colonel Hai Lige?" Toy, who was standing on the other side of the field, watched Hubler leave and came back and asked.
"Yes, yes, Joe! Don't let me do these things in the future. Even if you want me to do it, don't let me go alone!" Obviously, Hooborough was a little unhappy. These people read what Parks said and showed it clearly in the newspaper.
When Parks was driving home on vacation, he was caught up by reporters from the New York Times and the special reporters of the Washington Post, and blocked him at the gate. The fact that Parks refused to recruit and entered West Point was finally known to those people. They wanted to know why.
"Major Parks, you refused the conscription of Admiral MacArthur. Don't you want to participate in this war?" The reporter of the New York Times came straight to the point and raised their doubts. They had to ask questions about key surnames before Parks entered their villa.
"I'm sorry, no comment!" Parks couldn't help frowning. He didn't like such occasions, let alone such problems.
"So does your silence mean that you admit it?" The reporter continued to ask, "You were once, and now you are still a hero of the United States and all civilians. If you don't participate in this war, how can you deserve the honor of the Medal of Honor and people's respect and love for you?"
Parks finally couldn't help it. There was no way to escape such a question. He stared at the reporter and said, "Well, since you want to know, I'll tell you. This war is far away from us. We have finally ushered in peace. Why do we get involved in such a war? I have experienced too many wars. I believe people are the same. I don't want to see killing again. There is nothing uglier than war! That's my answer. I'm tired of war!"
"You mean that the decision of this American political axe is wrong, isn't it?" The reporter held on and then asked the second question, but Parks ignored him and drove the car straight into the door of his villa.
What Parks didn't expect was that his words caused him trouble.
