Chapter 358 answered

Parks has his own separate dorm and office at West Point, which is a privilege as an instructor. 【Full text reading】Collection~Top*Point*Book City Book Friends Whole ~Richy~ For Of course, Principal Taylor expressed a warm welcome to Parkes' arrival. To be honest, he had expected Parks to obey General MacArthur's call. Now everyone in the United States can clearly recognize the form, and it is only a matter of time before the Korean War breaks out and the US ** team is involved.

"Look what I've brought" Taxor was reading a book when Taylor pushed open the door to Parkes' office, and then saw General Taylor holding a bottle of whiskey in his hand.

"I've heard that in the 1o1 Airborne Division, if anyone can drink more than General Taylor, that person must be Colonel Zinke." Parks greeted him with a smile, then gave up a seat for General Taylor to sit down, and he took two wine glasses from the cabinet next to him and placed them on the stool between them.

"That's a guy who gives me a headache," General Taylor couldn't help but laugh, and then pulled out the cork of the wine bottle with a "bang" and poured wine into the two glasses, "Lacey, I'm sorry, I've been saying this to every soldier in the 1O1 Airborne Division, but I don't have a chance." You know, sometimes you can't help yourself. ”

"General, do you mean that the 1o1 airborne division was disbanded?" Parks picked up his glass, then raised it and gestured to General Taylor and smiled slightly, "Yes, we were all very frustrated at the time, although I was still in the assault company, you know, the relationship of our 1o1 airborne division, we have experienced too many wars and tribulations, but we have also established a deep relationship. It's very special, but after all, it's gone, and no one blames you, on the contrary, we feel very good."

"Well, I admit, I shouldn't have come to talk about this heavy topic." General Taylor couldn't help but nod and smile, "I'm very strange about your arrival, and I also know that General MacArthur also wants to summon you, maybe you want to escape?" ”

Parks shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yes, General. I don't want to hide anything from you. I'm trying to escape. You know, I've seen enough blood, and now the world is at peace. The Koreans did not attack us, and I did not want to get involved in a war that was so far away from us, and everyone knew that this call-up was to prepare for that war in Asia. ”

"It's a pity" Taylor nodded, and then took a slight sip of wine, what a pity? Parks didn't know if he was saying that he was sorry for not responding to General MacArthur, or if he was sorry for the future war that the American army might get involved in. He saw that General Taylor did not speak, and he did not say a word.

"I-ve always had a question," General Taylor said for a moment, "if the 1o1 Airborne Division hadn't been disbanded, would you have left the army, or would you have been in the commando team of the 1o1 Airborne Division?" ”

Parks didn't know what he meant by asking, but he still followed his heart, he nodded and said: "Yes, General, I will stay in the 1O1 Airborne Division, I will make this a career, until I retire, you know, I have a special affection for the army, it is like my home, in fact, this conscription I have a way to get rid of General MacArthur, but I just want to go back to the barracks again." It's just that I left because of disappointment, and at this time, I entered because of nostalgia. I need barracks without war The army exists not for war, but for peace"

"Are we talking about philosophical questions?" General Taylor couldn't help but laugh when he heard Parks' words, "But no matter what, I'm very happy to have you here. You're the best officer I've ever met, but I agree with you that I don't want another war. Compared to MacArthur, I was an anti-war faction. With that, he stood up, put his glass down, stretched out his hand, shook Parks, and said, "Stay here in peace." We'll see each other often. ”

"That's what I thought," Parks nodded, and then sent General Taylor out, all the way to the door, opening the office door for him, "I'm very much looking forward to seeing you often." You know, it's not easy to talk to a veteran of the 1O1 Airborne Division, now"

General Taylor was stunned for a moment, then smiled very relieved, turned around and walked outside, walked a few steps, turned around and made a shooting gesture at Parks, and smiled, "I'm a veteran of the 1o1 Airborne Division" and left without looking back. Obviously, this meeting allowed him to release some of the things that had accumulated in his heart.

Life at West Point is a bit like life at Tacoya Training Base, with very regular schedules and training subjects. It's just that on the basis of the original, Parks has made some adjustments to the training subjects, and let these cadets experience the unconventional methods of special operations, allowing them to experience it first-hand outside of the textbook.

Only this time, Parks is the trainer, and the recruits are the trained characters. Of course, these cadets did not have any objection to Parkes' training, but rather had a strong performance of their desire to show their best in front of Parkes in order to be praised by Parkes, which was a great honor, because Parkes had always been the idol of the average soldier in modern America, from 1944 to 195o, because no ordinary soldier or officer had ever been able to achieve such a brilliant record as Parkes, and he could be said to be the first person among the soldiers of the American Army today. Of course, this does not refer to the generals who have made great achievements. Ordinary officers are more likely to be the objects of admiration of soldiers, because Parks is a miracle created step by step from soldier to officer.

After talking to General Taylor, General Taylor seemed to be preparing something. On 26 June, US President Harry S. Truman ordered the US Far East Air Force stationed in Japan to assist South Korea in the war, and the Seventh Fleet sailed into the ports of Keelung and Kaohsiung to patrol the Taiwan Strait to prevent the PLA from liberating Taiwan. The U.S. representative to the United Nations also submitted a motion to the Security Council, which was passed by a margin of 13 to 1 in the absence of the Soviet delegation, which enabled the United Nations to smoothly adopt the three resolutions. The United States is dominant, and 15 other countries have also sent some of their troops to the war. The United Kingdom, Turkey, Canada, Thailand, New Zealand, Australia, the Netherlands, France, the Philippines, Greece, Belgium, Colombia, Ethiopia, Luxembourg, South Africa, and the Republic of Korea National Defense Forces are all under the command of the U.S. Far East Forces stationed in Japan, and General MacArthur is the commander of the U.S. Far East Forces. The first campaign against Korea.

History has finally come to the inevitable point, and Admiral MacArthur has already taken his steps for this war. And his defeat is doomed after all.

Camp Shanks in New York, many people are preparing, the Black Panther special forces have been ordered, they will go to North Korea in Asia, and after the US military officially intervenes in North Korea, they are preparing for this war. Everyone's face showed a solemn look. In recent years, this unit has shown very strong combat effectiveness. This is also an important force that MacArthur relied on.

Lieutenant Colonel Halig stood on the CAO field of the barracks, from here he had made several expeditions to the Americas and Asia, and he had achieved remarkable results, and he was proud of the fact that they had been able to complete every mission. But this time, he suddenly felt some uneasy emotions stirring in his heart. In the special forces, Heflang has been promoted to lieutenant, Hubl and Toy are veteran sergeants, and they have great prestige in the entire special forces, and Paikanti and Cobb have been wounded in the last two operations, and they are in the Marine Corps hospital and have not yet been discharged. This time I can't catch up.

"Lieutenant colonel" someone is calling him. Halig looked back and saw that it was Hubler, he looked a little nervous, but he still had a few newspapers in his hand, and on these newspapers he saw the portrait of a person, so to speak, this person impressed Halig so much that he could not even forget it for the rest of his life, the portrait of Parks at that time.

"Yes, it's the boss," Hubler said, handing over the newspaper in his hand, "Toy bought it on the street in New York yesterday, and it has what the boss said, I think, you should read it" Hubler nodded, then turned and left. He was taken aback when he saw Parks appear in the newspaper yesterday, and then he looked at the newspaper, and his heart couldn't help but shake a little.

"Did you show Lieutenant Colonel Haliger?" Toy, who was standing at the other end of the CAO field, watched Hubler walk back and asked.

"Yes, yes, Joe, don't let me do these things in the future. Even if you want me to do it, don't let me go alone" Obviously, Hubler was a little unhappy, and these people read what Parks said, and it was clearly shown in the newspapers.

Parks was driving home from vacation when he was caught up by a New York Times correspondent and a Washington Post correspondent, who stopped him at the gate, because Parks had finally been told that he had refused to be drafted and had entered West Point, and they wanted to know why.

"Major Parkes, did you refuse Admiral MacArthur's call to be part of this war?" The New York Times reporters got straight to the point and raised their suspicions, and they had to ask the crucial question before Parks could enter his villa.

"I'm sorry, I have no comment" Parks couldn't help but frown, he didn't like such an occasion, let alone such a question.

"So does your silence mean you're admitting?" The reporter continued to ask, "You were and are still a hero to the United States and all civilians, if you don't go to this war, then how can you deserve the honor of the Medal of Honor and people's admiration and love for you?" ”

Parks finally couldn't help it, there was no way to escape such a question, he stared at the reporter and said, "Okay, since you want to know, I'll tell you." This war is far away from us, and we have finally ushered in peace, so why should we get involved in such a war? I've been through too many wars, and I'm sure people are the same, and don't want to see the killing happen again, there's nothing uglier than war, that's my answer, I'm tired of war"

"You're saying that this time the U.S. political decision was wrong, right?" The reporter held on and asked a second question, but Parks ignored him and drove the car straight into the gate of his villa.

What Parks didn't expect was that his words would get him into trouble. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
