Chapter 267: Company E mutinied

On the third day after Lieutenant Winters received the summons letter, Company E received a bolt from the blue.

‘…… At the will of an officer who is unable to complete the orders of his immediate supervisor and is unwilling to accept the disciplinary instructions of his immediate superior, the battalion headquarters will convene a court-martial...... While awaiting the court-martial, the following officer was to be temporarily transferred from his original position until further notice...... such a notice appeared on the notice board of 'E Company, and the name of the officer on it turned out to be Lieutenant Winters, and the signature of the next paragraph was Major Stryer.

"I inquired...... Strell transfers Winters to the battalion quarters!" Sergeant Lenny walked into a farmhouse where Sergeant Harris, Sergeant Talbot, and Levy himself were inside. The four of them were the highest non-commissioned officers of E Company from Second Lieutenant Lipton downwards, and were responsible for the first to third platoons.

"Are you kidding?!" Sergeant Harris said with a look of disbelief.

"No, it's true. However, Strieter can only keep Winters temporarily, and Nickerson is already figuring out a way. Sergeant Lenny said.

"If that's the case, Nickerson had better move faster......" Sergeant Talbot said.

"What if that fails? We'll have to skydive with Sauber, and Winters will have to scramble eggs in the back room. "Sergeant Harris had the worst possible outcome.

"Lai, is there anything you can do?" asked Sergeant Lanny, looking at Liwei.

"It's not that there is no way...... But it should be stated in advance that this is a method that will be dealt with by military law. If you don't make up your mind, it's better for me not to come out. Li Wei thought about it for a long time, and said with a stern face.

"Anyway, let me parachute with Sober, and the consequences are actually similar to military law. Sergeant Harris said with a humorous acknowledgment, but no one laughed.

"I have no faith in Sauber's command. Sergeant Talbot followed.

"You and I are both subordinates of Winters, and you should know better than me that our boss's abilities are no worse than those of the Black Swan. Sergeant Lenny said to Le Wei Dao.

"Okay, since you've all made up your minds, then you all come close and listen......" After that, Li Wei motioned for the other three to gather around, and then whispered a solution.

"You're right...... This is indeed a method that will be dealt with by military law. After listening to Li Wei's method, the three of them all agreed to the same thing.

"Lipton will be there for me to take him personally, and the second row will be handed over to Lenny, and it will not be too difficult to serve them. As for the first and third rows...... It's up to you. Levy looked at Sergeant Talbot and Sergeant Harris and solemnly entrusted.

"I think as long as it is related to the actions of the black swan, the whole company will have a unanimous decision. "Sergeant Harris is out of the question. After many field exercises, Captain Sauber had become an unpopular officer in Company E.

"So...... Gather all the non-commissioned officers here tomorrow morning. Li Wei looked at the three of them, and after receiving the approval of their heads, they each returned to the barracks dormitory.

……

The next morning, in addition to the four sergeants including Le Wei and Second Lieutenant Lipton, who was the highest-ranking non-commissioned officer and the chief petty officer, there were also Gurnere, Randolph, Grant, and Martin. All four of them have the rank of corporal, and they are also members of the non-commissioned officers.

"Everything is clear, right? Have you all decided?" asked Li Wei, sitting in the center of the table, looking at the crowd.

"What do we have to do......" Sergeant Lenny said, looking at the crowd on his left and right. Everyone nodded in agreement with Ranny's words, and then looked at Dawn in unison.

"I'm not looking at your determination, one last piece of advice! As soon as we act, we will all be dragged out and dealt with by military law! If anyone wants to quit, it is still too late. "Li Wei sù authentic.

"I'm not going to follow that man to the battlefield!" said Goneri, putting away his usual playful smile.

"Me too. Lan Daoman chimed in.

"Very good...... So, let's just let it go. With that, Li Wei took out a piece of paper and a pen from his pocket, and the rest of the group did the same.

“…… I hereby declare that from now on I will no longer be a non-commissioned officer of Company E and manage the company......" Li Wei read as he wrote the same sentence on the paper, and the rest of the people followed suit, and finally signed their names in the next paragraph.

"Very good...... Good luck, everyone......" Second Lieutenant Lipton said softly, as if to bless everyone, or perhaps himself.

Second Lieutenant Lipton left the farmhouse with everyone's letter of declaration, and he would bypass Captain Sauber and hand it over to Major Stryll's desk, who was the battalion commander in charge of the second battalion.

……

In Colonel Sink's office, the commander of the 506th Regiment was angrily scolding the officers standing in front of him, who were naturally the non-commissioned officers of Company E who had submitted the statement letter.

"I should have shot you all!! Colonel Sinker scolded.

"On the eve of the counterattack on Europe, your actions are no different from a military mutiny!! Sergeant Harris......" Colonel Zinke naturally began to punish after scolding.

"Sir!" Sergeant Harris replied blankly, as if sensing the punishment he would receive.

"Turn in your badges, pack your gear! I'm going to get you out of my legion!" Colonel Zinke said as he looked at Sergeant Harris.

"Yes, sir!" Sergeant Harris saluted Colonel Zinke and was about to leave, but was interrupted by Dawn's mouth.

"Excuse me, sir!" said Levy was at the front, so he stepped out of the line to block Sergeant Harris's path and pleaded with Colonel Zinke.

"Permission ......" would have been scolded by Colonel Zinck if it were someone else, but Levy was different, since he turned in the new trench design, he and Lieutenant Winters became the more favored talents of Colonel Zinck. Because of this, Colonel Zinke held back his anger and allowed Levy to speak.

"Sir, I am willing to trade my Bronze Star Medal and voluntary demotion to Private in exchange for Sergeant Harris remaining in Company E. Lee's words surprised everyone, and Sergeant Harris looked at Liberty with emotion and gratitude. It took two years of hard work to get the paratrooper badge, and although Sergeant Harris looked carefree just now, he was still reluctant to accept this paratrooper badge that represented innovation.

"Do you think the army is a place of trade?!" scolded Colonel Zink.

"Sir, we're just as willing to be demoted to private, or even court-martialed, in exchange for Sergeant Harris staying in Company E!" all the rest looked at each other, and after a brief eye contact, they stood up in unison.

"You ......! Harris, you should feel lucky, and at the same time thank Lai for his righteousness! Harris, Lenny, and Lai were stripped of their sergeant rank and demoted to private! Besides, Ry, I will not take back your Bronze Star Medal, this is the medal you deserve!" No one noticed Colonel Zink's expression of relief before making such a ruling.

"You non-commissioned officers have disgraced the 101st Airborne Division, and you should all be glad! On the eve of such a tense battle, I can only spare your lives! Now leave my office immediately and disappear from my sight!" Colonel Sink lowered his head and began to review Wen Jiàn.

The group gave Colonel Sink a military salute and left the office in a procession.

"Isn't it necessary to do anything...... "Looking at the backs of the departing crowd, Colonel Zinke thought in his heart about the appropriate deployment to calm the turmoil.
