While John was in a meeting in the small study on the third floor, Anderson Vanderbilt, 61, was waiting anxiously outside the study door. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Some time ago, Anderson finally got through John's door and helped his baby son get a position in the U.S. Army Reserve Officer Training Corps, which can be regarded as keeping the only bloodline in his family. As a result, it didn't work out, and within two days of the old couple's hearts being put down, Richard's bastard boy made their hard work come to naught.

Originally, John had already arranged for Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, as long as Richard stayed in the boot camp until the end of January next year, a corporal rank would not be able to run. When the time comes, if he is stuffed into the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps and sent to a certain university to serve as an instructor in the military department, he will be able to spend the entire service period in peace and security.

However, no matter how well they plan, they can't stand Richard, who is not afraid of heaven and earth. After learning that his parents were out of the relationship, they were going to send him to the Reserve Officer Training Corps. Before the recruit training was over, the kid signed up for the airborne selection by himself. By the time the Andersons got the news, he was already training at the skydiving school in Fort Benning.

Knowing that her precious son had become a dangerous paratrooper, Anderson's wife fainted on the spot and is still lying in the hospital bed. Anderson also aged a lot all of a sudden, sighing and frowning all day long, and he didn't even bother to take care of his business. Richard was their only child, and if he wasn't there, what was the point of those businesses.

But what can Anderson do? After thinking about it, he could only be cheeky again and ask John for help. Anderson's biggest concern now is whether John will be angry and refuse to help after Richard took matters into account to disrupt his arrangement. He has secretly decided that no matter what the cost, he will also seek a "way to live" for his son.

As soon as the meeting ended, Anderson "plugged" John. "Mr. John, I'm Anderson. We used to be by phone. ”

John was stunned for a moment before he realized who the white-haired old man in front of him was with a bitter face. Although the Andersons had visited John's house twice, and John had received a nice accessory from him, they had not met before, only on the phone a few times.

"Nice to meet you, Anderson!" John hurriedly greeted him warmly and said, "Do you have anything to do with me?" ”

"Mr. John, can I delay you a little?" Although Anderson is the same age as John, he is almost 30 years older than him. But in front of John, he put himself in a very low position and was very respectful.

"Of course, let's go inside and talk." Everyone has already put their posture so low, and it is not easy for John to refute Anderson's face in public. After saying hello to William and the others, and asking them to go downstairs for luncheon first, John led Anderson back to the study.

In the study, Anderson tearfully told John how Richard had signed up for the Airborne Troop and how his wife had been so worried that she couldn't afford to be ill, and he almost knelt down on the spot and begged John to have mercy on him.

John, of course, knew that Anderson had an element of drama in it. He could also guess that Anderson was afraid that he would be dissatisfied with Richard, so he played the sad card as soon as he came up.

However, John didn't hate Anderson's move. First, as a parent, he can understand Anderson's painstaking efforts. Second, he also had a little interest in Richard, a daring boy.

Originally, he just regarded Richard as a bastard who was overpampered by his parents and didn't know how thick the sky was. This kind of "rich N generation", he has seen a lot since he was a child. Before, he helped Richard arrange a place to go, more for the sake of the "tiger talisman". For him, cramming a recruit into a non-combat unit is just a trivial matter, and it can be done with two phone calls, and he doesn't pay much attention to it at all.

Now, this kid actually has the ability to jump out of the development route he designed, and has passed the extremely strict airborne force selection test, which can't help but make John curious about it. This at least shows that Richard is not only bold, but also has some ability, and is not the kind of fool with low eyes.

You know, the experimental paratrooper unit that William Lee is preparing is not so easy to advance. All other units are randomly selected from the boot camp, but it has the authority to select members from each unit on a priority basis. That's why the U.S. Airborne Forces have regarded themselves as elite units of the Army from the very beginning of their formation. To be able to join the Airborne Forces, wear an umbrella badge, and tuck your trouser legs into your boots shows that you are the most elite soldier in the U.S. Army.

As far as John knows, the vast majority of the first-generation American paratroopers trained by William Lee were the elite of the Army selected from various combat units. It is rare to be able to be selected from the boot camp to the unit, and it is almost impossible if it is not for the unique skills.

"Does Richard have any special hobbies or specialties?" John couldn't help but ask curiously.

"He grew up fiddling with firearms. The year before last, he won a state runner-up in the NRA (National Rifle Association) competition. Anderson didn't know why John was asking this, but he answered honestly. I also like to go on adventures in the wilderness. Last year, he was clamoring to go to the Amazon rainforest, but was stopped by me and his mother. ”

John nodded, it seems that Richard still has some real material. In a country like the United States, where everyone owns guns, shooting masters abound. Being able to win the state runner-up in the shooting competition organized by the NRA is already a great shooting master. At least better than the "masters" John knew in the shooting club in his previous life. What's more, this kid should still have some survival skills in the wild, otherwise he wouldn't dare to challenge the Amazon rainforest.

Thinking of this, John couldn't help but love talent. The 82nd Infantry Division, which he was about to serve, would later be reorganized into the first airborne unit of the U.S. Army. Although he, the deputy chief of staff, has a good relationship with the division commander Bradley, he also has to have his own team. What's more, by the time 82 is an adaptation, Bradley is likely to have been transferred.

At present, there is only one team member John can think of, Captain Gavin, who was born in a family orphanage, and if Richard does have two hits, John will of course focus on cultivating him. After all, no matter how you say it, Richard is also his own family.

Moreover, the paratroopers who came out of William Lee's experimental unit will be the backbone of the US Airborne Forces in the future. As one of the first paratroopers in the United States, Richard still has a very promising future in the future. If he is willing to stay in the army and develop, it is not impossible for him to enter the ranks of generals in 20 years.

Of course, John wouldn't have said that to Anderson. He only comforted the old man that Richard had now gone to the paratrooper school and could not leave it for a short time, and he could only ask his friends to take care of him. However, in order to reassure Anderson, John assured him that he would find a way to transfer Richard to his side when he went to serve in the combat unit.

Anderson was still uneasy, but he knew there was no better way to do it for the time being. John was able to do this far, and he was already benevolent. This road was chosen by the son himself, and since he couldn't stop it, he could only try his best to help him pave the road a little smoother.

So, Anderson was ruthless and decided to give John a big gift.
