Because the next day, everyone except John had to go to work early in the morning, and the meeting at Director Nevins' house ended before 11 o'clock. As www.biquge.info protagonist of tonight's party, John inevitably had a few more drinks. Nevins was kind enough to have his driver drive him home.

However, when he got home, John did not go straight back to his bedroom to sleep, but locked himself in the study again. Today, he received too much impactful information, plus after drinking a little wine, his brain was a little excited, and he couldn't sleep at all if he didn't digest it well.

Now there are two paths before John. One is to continue to stay in the 82nd Division for development. This path was also the path John himself had originally chosen, and he had already put a lot of effort into clearing the first half of the road. Next, as long as he goes step by step, he will have a place in the 18th Airborne Army in the future.

The other way is to seize the opportunity in front of you and "jump ship" to the Third Army. If you look at the prospect, it is clear that this road is brighter than the previous one. In any case, the platform of the army group is much larger than that of a small airborne army. What's more, the Third Army is still a legendary unit in World War II, the main force of the main force, and the trump card of aces. In his previous life, no military fan would have been able to resist the temptation to lead an armored army across Europe with Patton.

However, the road is also much more rugged. Not only is Philip Hayes currently in front of him difficult to deal with, but the challengers he will face in the future are not easy to deal with. Otherwise, Worrall Mahler, who is a member of Barton's core team, is a fierce rival. When it came to the battlefield, in the face of the complicated situation on the front, John was not confident that he could do better than Mahler, a guy who was cheating and stealing everything.

To go, or not to go? Troubled by this question, the more he thought about it, the more irritated he became, and finally he couldn't help but get up and circle around the study. Normally, this habitual action allows him to concentrate quickly as he thinks about problems. But today, after all, John drank a lot of wine, and after walking a few laps, he felt that the wine was constantly rising, and his mouth became more and more dry.

After pouring a large glass of cold water, John calmed down. He knew that his thinking had reached a dead end, and if he continued to think about it, he would probably get into the horns and never get out again. The best thing to do now is to change your mind and force yourself not to think about it for a while. So, he casually picked up a stack of letters on the table and flipped through them absentmindedly.

These letters were all sent to Washington's home in the past few days, and most of them were "fate" letters written by some charitable organizations to Adele. It's not that these charities are unaware that Adele has moved away (the Dedicated Car incident was still quite famous on the East Coast in the first place), but they have no choice but to try their luck in this stupid way without a new address.

John flipped through a few letters and threw them in the trash. Adele has now shifted her focus back to her family, even if she wants to get involved in philanthropy through the Family Education Foundation. There is no need to bring these spam emails back to Alexandria.

That's right, Alexander. John suddenly thought of a question he had overlooked. Adele had given up her life on the East Coast and traveled all the way to Alexandria, a small southern town with her. If she was suddenly transferred to the Third Army, wouldn't Adele and her sisters be a toss in vain?

Could it be that she wants to move with her children again and to Houston (where the headquarters of the Third Army is located in Fort Sam, Texas, near Houston)?

Although John believes that no matter which choice he makes, Adele will support him in the end. But should he also think about Adele and the children?

In his previous life, John was deeply influenced by traditional Chinese family concepts since he was a child, and he valued family affection very seriously. In this life, perhaps because of the loss of his parents since childhood, he is also a person who pays special attention to family. If he really wants to completely ignore his wife and children for the so-called personal ideals, he really can't do it.

Moreover, if he leaves the 82nd Division now, the Bradleys should also be disappointed. Sister Mary is not to mention, she has been so enthusiastic about helping their family integrate into local life.

In the process of John's transformation into a qualified combat unit commander, Bradley also spent a lot of effort. Although they differed on certain issues at certain times, Bradley provided John with the greatest possible support and shelter. Without Bradley, John would not have been able to gain a foothold in the 82nd Division so quickly.

Although it is natural for people to go to a higher place, this time, he took the initiative to "change jobs" to find another job, which is completely different from passive transfer. If he, the chief of staff of the division, really leaves his work and leaves, it will inevitably have a serious impact on the next training of the 82nd Division.

When the time comes, what will Bradley think, who has been behind him? Will there be a feeling of betrayal? And the other colleagues of the 82nd Division: Generals Ridgway and Swain, as well as Solson, Matthews, and Steve, what will their subordinates think?

In his previous life, there was a sentence in John's favorite Japanese comic "Black Butler": "Except for death, any departure is a betrayal." John couldn't help but ask himself, is it worth it to "betray" his unit and "betray" his comrades who may face the test of life and death with him just for the position of the head of logistics of the group army?

Even if John doesn't think about the morality involved, is it worth sacrificing his intimacy with Bradley in order to go to the Third Army?

You know, Bradley will be the commander of the 12th Army Group in the future, and the Third Army is to fight under his command. When the time comes, how will John face this old friend and boss?

Thinking of this, John's mental scales began to tilt to one side. The position of logistics chief of the Third Army was indeed tempting, but it did not seem worth the risk he took so much for it.

Looking back and thinking about what happened today, John couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Did I have a good time during this time, I was almost tempted by the two old guys, McNair and Embick, and made the mistake of being long.

Wasn't the reason why he chose to go to the 82nd Division in the first place was to make up for the shortcomings of his weak military foundation and get rid of his identity as a simple logistics officer? Otherwise, he would have accepted Marshall's arrangement from the beginning to become a logistics officer in the First Army, and Lieutenant General Hugh Drum had not recruited him.

Strictly speaking, John is still far from his goal, to be a qualified commander. He had just made a little bit of success, and he was praised by McNair and Embick, so why couldn't he find the north.

John secretly admonished himself that it was better to be down-to-earth. What he needs to do now is to constantly improve his military qualities, not to seek any good position. To put it mildly, the army is still a place where strength speaks. If the ability is not good, even if he is given a group army commander, what can he do. In the future, if you go to the battlefield, there will be no good results.
