Chapter 349: The Question of Leaving and Staying

After a voyage of more than 2o days, the entire fleet arrived in New York, during which time on August 3o, 1945, on the battleship USS Missouri, anchored in Tokyo Bay, Japan officially signed the surrender ceremony. [No pop-up novel network] book friend whole _ Li * mention ~ For this surrender ceremony three days earlier than in history, all because of Parkes's rescue operation in Shenyang, forcing the atomic bomb to be dropped on Japan in advance, and the Soviet Union launched an attack on Northeast China in advance. History has changed a little, but it can't stop its wheels from spreading in the original direction.

The sea voyage may be a bit boring, but the good thing is that you can enjoy wine, steak and even a variety of fruits on board. This was finally able to make the brothers seem more stable when they approached New York. And Parks also learned something on the way, the commander of the 1O1 Airborne Division 5O6, Colonel Zink, became the deputy commander of the 1O1 Airborne Division, and General Taylor left the 1O1 Airborne Division on August 22 and entered the War Department, and will subsequently be transferred to the principal of West Point. The fate of the 1o1 Airborne Division was uncertain, this was what Parks feared the most, emotionally speaking, he absolutely couldn't stand it, he served in this company, and became brothers with everyone in this company. He has not heard from Major Winters and Captain Nickerson yet, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that if the 1o1 airborne division exists, then they will exist.

Parks had always believed that if it weren't for the disbandment of the 1O1 Airborne Division and Major Wainwright's disappointment with the military's approach, he would never have left the army, even if he wanted to live a peaceful life, but there was no doubt that a barracks life without war was his best choice.

The fleet gradually approached New York, the ship swayed gently in the waves of the sea, 1ang flowers on the deck of the ship constantly splashed on the face, the salty smell and the blowing sea breeze made everyone feel a kind of happiness, they went home these days Parks in addition to being with Captain Wales and his brothers, was to go and chat with Rear Admiral John.

The closer they got home, the more the conversation of the brothers became hidden, and many people were looking forward to their lives back home. They planned and came up with ideas for each other, but there were also those who wanted to stay in the barracks, which was much more comfortable than life in war.

"I'm hoping to go back to San Francisco and get back to the taxi company and make a lot of money for the returning sailors, and then I'm going to find a good Jewish kid with a big ** and a smile on his face" Legot made a gesture of holding ** with both hands on his chest, and then smiled at Lutz next to him, "What do you want to do?" Lutz"

"Me? I haven't figured it out yet, it's hard to find a job now, maybe I'll continue to stay in the army. Of course, if the boss continues to stay in the army, I think this should be a good choice. It shouldn't be bad to work with the boss," Lutz shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "God, isn't it a little too early for us to plan this?" ”

"The war is over, what are you here for?" Cobb walked over, heard the conversation between the two, and couldn't help shaking his head and said, "Lutz, do you still want to live like this, although there is no war, but I hate training." I hate getting up so early every day, I want to sleep comfortably in bed, and then the day with Kim Mei in my arms in my arms will start like this"

"Hey, Eugene, what do you want to do?" Toy suddenly touched Doctor Luo beside him, and he smiled, "I think the best thing I can think of is to marry a girl and find a job, no matter what the job, I am willing to do it." Of course, if I could, I would probably stay in the army, as Lutz said, if the boss stayed. ”

"Me?" Doctor Luo smiled slightly, "I don't know yet, let's take a step at a time, my days in the army are over, there is no war, and I don't want to stay here any longer." I hate to hear those screams and I think I'll go to Bastogne."

"Oh God, do you still want to experience life there?" Toy couldn't help but scream, and then, Luz cheered loudly, he clapped his palms, and laughed at Doctor Luo, "Battlefield love, it's too bang, Eugene, I thought you were just a momentary jī love, are you serious?" I think that's the most wonderful form of love."

"That's a beautiful girl, if she's the size of a Jewish nv child, maybe I'll consider competing with you" Toy couldn't help but laugh and patted Dr. Luo on the shoulder, "If that's the case, I'll support you, if you invite me when you get married, I'll definitely go to it, even if it's in Bastogon even though I don't like that place"

"I want to be too, Eugene, will you invite me?" Frank Pecanti couldn't help but exclaim, "You know, I've always wanted to get a job at the post office, maybe I'll send you to Bastone as a gift for the bride."

Everyone's life plans are different when they return home, but they all have their own plans, and they all want to live a peaceful life, even for their brothers who want to stay in the army.

For the first time, Parks spoke to the Captain of Wales about the issue. He was also full of uncertainty about his post-war life, and he didn't know how to go about it. Whether to stay in the army, or stay in New York to help Virginia, or to get a job in New York and live with Virginia, of course he doesn't know what to do with Jennifer, despite that ridiculous night, but does that mean that everything will work out? It's impossible, as can be seen from Jennifer's non-goodbye parting.

"I've been asked to be the administrative director of a xiao school." Captain Wales smiled at Parks, "You know, I may not be good at teaching, but I'm better suited to the administrative one, just like in Company E and in Assault Company, I'm used to working like this, if it's Dick, how would he choose?" ”

"I think if possible, he'll stay in the military, and of course, don't forget Nick, he's the heir to the Nickerson family, who runs a féi company and offers Dick a job even if he can't find it. I wasn't worried about that at all, I was just thinking that if I could, I would really want to serve with him again in the army. Parks smiled.

"You haven't gotten tired of life in the army?" The Welsh captain looked at him and couldn't help but shrug his shoulders.

"I don't know, Harry, I don't think I've figured it out yet, but of course I can go to West Point. You know, that medal of mine gave me the power to choose, and I stayed in the military until I retired. Parks looked into the distance, watching his brothers get together and talk about the days ahead, and he suddenly felt that it was all an illusion.

Continue to stay in the army? It's not that he didn't think so, he has lived in such an environment from his previous life to this life, and the military camp seems to constitute the main sè color of his two lives, making his life rich in legend and full of sè color. And the relationship with those brothers makes these sè colors more colorful. He couldn't just let it go so easily. The loss of letting go is not necessarily something he can bear.

The fleet docked at the port of New York, what Parks did not expect was that they received the warmest welcome, on the day of arrival, Parks looked at the crowded port, looked at the cars with long whistles and the cheering crowd on the street, he couldn't help but be a little speechless, and couldn't help but say to the Captain Wales: "God, do we have the President of the United States with us?" ”

The Welsh captain also shook his head in surprise and said, "I don't know, God, this is crazy"

It's crazy indeed. All of New York is welcoming them because they are heroes. What they didn't know was that as early as when they had successfully rescued more than 1,500 prisoners of war and more than 40 high-ranking Allied generals and governors, as well as judges, newspapers and radio stations throughout the United States began to publicize their victory and their salvation of prisoners of war. To a large extent, it is because all this is already the last battle of the American army against the fascists. This, coupled with Japan's surrender, brought the atmosphere of victory celebration to the highest peak.

"Poo", a hot girl took the initiative to offer her fragrant kiss to Luz, and Luz responded enthusiastically, the two hugged each other as if no one was around, and more flowers were sent by people, and everyone's body was almost full of all kinds of fresh flowers. The New York Municipal Fǔ even organized a drum band, which walked ahead of Parkes and led them forward.

"Where are we going?" The Welsh captain and a girl kissed each other, then smiled at Parks, who was holding flowers all over the place, "I feel like I'm confused, the military didn't say, what do they want to do?" Shall we follow the group of guys in front of us who are lining up and beating drums? ”

"I don't know, damn it, who's in charge of this event, I don't want to show it here. I feel like a monkey," Parks grumbled. It was not the first time that the brothers of E-Company had experienced such a scene, they were very skillful in kissing the girls, and then they were very familiar with receiving the flowers handed by the townspeople, and they even had time to complain about why no one sent good wine, no one sent cigarettes, fruits, and the like.

"Don't complain about this, listen to this music, we're waltzing into New York, and we're not worried about anyone throwing rocks at us." White shook his head at Kaber, who was hugging the girl and kissing the girl and holding the flowers beside him, and said, "Be content, we've received enough preferential treatment." I don't like that though."

"Look at those guys," Lutz said as he touched White with his hand, "Look at the hillbillies, I think this is the first time they've experienced this, God, these poor guys."

Following the direction of Lutz's finger, the rescued American soldiers and the generals and governors of the allied forces saw such a scene, some of them couldn't help but shed tears, Major General Edward King hugged an old man tightly, and finally couldn't help but burst into tears, he used to think the same as General Wainwright, he was nervous, afraid that he would not know how to face his country after returning home, worried that he would be tried for treason and become a shame in the history of the American army, but now, All his worries came to naught.

"You are heroes" The old man hugged Major General Jin tightly and said the word "hero" repeatedly in his ear.

Heroes are not only a celebration of the victors, but also a consolation to those who are forced to lose.

The streets of New York were celebrating a holiday, and after walking some distance, a middle-aged man in a suit suddenly crowded in, and he was in the middle of the line asking, "Who knows Major Parkes?" I need to find him."

"You ask him in the back to see where he should be," Goneri shouted at him, his voice so loud that he had to raise his voice.

"Thank you very much," the middle-aged man nodded, and then continued to squeeze towards the back in a sweaty voice.

"Major Parkes," the man finally found Parkes, and he shouted at Parks, "Mr. Major, we, the Mayor of New York City, would like to meet you, they are in the square of New York, where there is our welcoming crowd, and he would like to invite you to the square to speak to the citizens of New York. Of course, this invitation includes all members of your party."

Parks was stunned when he heard this. Obviously, he didn't expect that the mayor of New York City would have such a hand, and he would let himself speak, and more importantly, in these ranks, there were many rescued generals and governors and other high-ranking figures, why did he let himself speak? Then he quickly understood what was going on.

At the beginning of 1945, the United Nations Constituent Assembly, which began with the five countries of the United States, Britain, China, the Soviet Union, and France, and invited the signatories of the "Joint Declaration of the United Nations" to participate, was held in San Francisco, United States, on February 25. At that time, more than 28o representatives from 5o countries and more than 17oo consultants, experts and journalists attended the event. The Conference drafted the Charter of the United Nations after more than two months of discussions on the basis of the recommendations of the Dumbarton Rubber Plantation Conference. On June 25, delegates unanimously adopted the charter at the San Francisco Opera. On the 26th, the Constitutional Convention was signed by representatives of various countries in the auditorium of the San Francisco Veterans Memorial Hall. This means that the United Nations has been established, and on the day of December 24 in history, the charter officially came into effect, it seems that the mayor of New York wants to have a political show at this time to add points to himself politically, and the heroic return of Parks is exactly the prop he needs, which will add a lot of points to his future politics and campaign.
