Chapter 377 Mayor
The weather in New York in March was still a little cold. Parks hosted some old friends of Company E Company at home, mainly some brothers who have been employed by E Security Company for ten years, as well as Winters, Nixon and Wales. Nixon started to operate during this period of time, and his business has got rid of the previous In embarrowsment, he began to steam, but Winters bought a farm and lived a calm farmer's life. Wales has resigned from the administrative position of the school and opened a wedding dress shop at the request of his wife Betty. Now the wedding dress shop has opened branches in several major cities in the United States, and the wedding dress made of parachute in Wales is placed in the most prominent position as the treasure of the town shop, and it is also for this wedding dress. Li made a note. In the past ten years, their experiences have been different.
"Okay, brothers!" Although Parks entertained the E Company brothers at home, his villa is large enough to accommodate more than a dozen brothers, and the garden and lawn outside him provide him with a vast field and a baseball field. Parks said to his brothers who were playing baseball on the grass on the lawn, "Today I have an important thing to announce. I have officially nominated a candidate for mayor of New York City. Although I am not a Mingzhu Party or a Republican Party, I can represent myself.
As soon as Parks's words fell, a huge cheer broke out on the lawn. At this time, Virgelia, who was still talking to the ladies in the living room of the villa upstairs, looked at the group of people and couldn't help laughing and shook her head and said, "They are still the same as before. It's like this since E company! It hasn't changed at all!"
"He never talks to me about his brothers!" Wales' wife Betty shook her head and said dissatisfiedly, "I think this is the most precious treasure in his life! It is impossible for others to spy on it.
"Madam, is Mr. Parks always so energetic?" Ms. Fran was tasting the fruit wine. She also looked at Grenari, who seemed to be very excited and cheering outside, and said, "Over the years, he has finally been able to do something happy, mainly because there are some old friends of their E company here, and he is sincerely grateful to Mr. Parks for this opportunity for him!"
"Nothing, Parks always wants to treat them like his own brothers!" Virgelia smiled slightly at Fran. Her temperament has become more and more elegant and luxurious in the past ten years. There is no doubt about the demeanor of a celebrity from a famous family, and it adds a mature charm and the beauty of knowing the surname, which is unforgettable at first sight.
"Is Mr. Parks going to run for mayor?" Fran still asked.
"Yes, it's his own decision. Of course, if he has that determination, I don't think he can do it!" Virgelia smiled and said, "At least his brothers won't let him fight alone."
Virginia is right. Parks will not fight alone. When he announced his decision, Toy began to shout early. He said to Parks, "Say, boss, what do you want us to do?"
Parks smiled at him and said, "Well, I know I will need you. We are the brothers of E Company. Don't worry, Joe. I drew up a plan, and then each of us has a division of labor. We follow the plan and must reproduce the most glorious moment of E Company. At that time, we used to be all Brothers of the American people, why can't we become the heroes of the American people again now?
Parks had a small meeting with his brothers after lunch, which, of course, let the brothers divide their own work and share their own publicity work. When the brothers dispersed, Winters, Nixon and Wales all stayed alone. They knew that Parks would certainly not be prepared like this. Utilizing the influence of E Company is only one of the links.
"Dick, your memoir will be published after it is released on TV. I hope it can bring a miracle in the audience!" When the four of them stayed, Parks inadvertently asked.
"Of course I hope so, but will it help you? I mean on the campaign!" Winters shook his head with a smile.
"Are you writing a memoir? God, you didn't tell me. Is it about E Company? Nixon suddenly stared at Winters and said, "Dick, this is not a friend enough! And you seem to be watching this matter!" With that, he waited for Parks with some dissatisfaction, "I'm not a good friend!"
"God, there is such a thing that I can't wait!" Wales also rushed to say, "I hope I didn't write badly in the book. I'm not demanding!"
"Don't worry, Harry, don't you know Dick?" Parks couldn't help laughing and said, "Well, I think you have understood that I want to seek development in politics, so I want to make Dick's book into a movie as soon as possible, and then give it to me for publication. I invited a famous director to participate in it to ensure the quality! And it's gratifying that this is coming to an end. Maybe we can see this movie in a month!"
"I want to know the name. What kind of name will this book or this TV series have?" Wales still seems to be a little impatient to say to Winters.
"I don't have the right to speak about this anymore. You have to ask Les, and I will give him the right to name it!" Winters shrugged his shoulders, saying that he didn't know.
"Brothers!" He said the name almost without thinking, "I named the name of the movie Bros! It's our complete memory from Tacosia to the end of the war in Europe!"
"Brother Company?" Nixon whistled and said with a smile, "I like this name, and we have always been like this, haven't we? Whether before, during or after the war, we have always been brothers! Company E has never been disbanded!"
"I agree!" Winters and Wales nodded at the same time. They felt the same way as Nixon's words, and Parks felt a lot. Yes, the brothers of E Company have never disbanded. They have always been there, and E Company has always existed in everyone's heart and in the history of the U.S. military.
"So what else do you have to prepare?" Nixon held a glass of whisky to Parks Road.
"Yes, I have made arrangements in E Security Company. Of course, it is impossible to explain to every brother, but at least, I know that these preparations are not in vain." Parks nodded.
Of course, there are some things that can't be said to everyone, but Parks has indeed arranged it in advance. After Christmas, two White House executives visited Parks and asked Parks to hire E-security combatants to participate in special operations in Vietnam. And this request was approved by Parks in February. At least 800 volunteers at the headquarters of E Security Company are making final preparations for sending troops to Vietnam. They will take great risks and get a huge reward to fight in Vietnam.
The exclusion of combatants from Vietnam is one of his trump cards. Now, although many people are opposed to the war against Vietnam, the mainstream Americans are still happy to see it, especially after the Tokyo Bay incident, the voice of the war against Vietnam began. After all, it is the mainstream voice of the American media, because they have not suffered heavy failures and losses.
At this party, Parks basically established a two-pronged strategy. The first is to let the brothers of Company E come out of the mountain again and let them promote the brilliant achievements of Company in various forms. The biggest factor in this regard is the efforts of the brothers and the film of the change of Winters' memoirs, which will be vigorously promoted by Parks. The project, and for the film, he invested nearly 50 million US dollars to try to truly reproduce the war scenes at that time. Of course, this is far from enough, and Parks contacts the major media in the United States, and even people from all walks of life in politics and finance. Because Parks is in the financial industry, especially in the era of rapid development of science and technology, Parks holds the patent right of core technology, which makes many people have to express their support for Parks. Moreover, Parks is also planning to launch his own administrative policy at the right time to win the support of a wider group of people.
On April 16, 1965, 5,500 soldiers of the U.S. Marine Corps launched the first large-scale land battle of the war. Under air support and a large-scale shelling, the U.S. military successfully invaded the Vietnamese Communist Party's base in Antong, but suffered heavy losses. Shortly after this attack, soldiers from a battalion of E Security Company met the 66th Regiment of North Vietnam in the Delang River Valley. The regular army of North Vietnam was stationed 2,000 people and was the elite division of the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, so the first large-scale battle of E Security Company since entering North Vietnam broke out. After three days of fierce fighting, 1,037 people were killed in North Vietnam, and only 32 people were killed in E Security Company. In particular, North Vietnam's plan to divide South Vietnam into two parts failed. This battle also led North Vietnam to decide to avoid a head-on conflict with the U.S. military and adopt guerrilla tactics instead.
History is always changed without experience. The great victory of E Security Company has given Americans greater hope. In this war, the reputation of E Security Company and Parks has risen rapidly in the United States. At this time, the mayoral election in New York City has officially begun, and at the same time, the United States The cinema has produced a very distinctive film "The Company of Brothers", which truly shows the experience of the brothers of the former heroes of the 101st Airborne Division 506th Regiment 2nd Battalion E Company in Tacosia until the end of the European War. The huge war scenes, touching brotherhood, thinking about the war, etc. are very humane. Turn into. The shadow of Parks's guidance can also be seen here. The film quickly became popular all over the United States and achieved huge box office revenue, and the image of E Company was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Several classic battles of Parks were perfectly presented in the film, which reminded people of the hero of the whole United States.
At the hottest time, Parks launched his own reform plan for finance, employment, welfare and other aspects in a timely manner, and frequently promoted it in various speeches.
With the writing of a famous American writer in later generations, Les? The book The Book of Parks says that this is a victory without suspense. On April 2, 1966, Parks was officially elected mayor of New York City.
