Obviously, General Taylor's words made Parks a little confused. Another such task? What does such a task look like? Like last time, go deep into the rear of the German troops, and then carry out the rescue? But the point is, who else should be rescued now? The war has not yet begun. Even so, risking deep behind enemy lines, under heavy German encirclement, it is impossible to stay with anyone.

"General, if there is a similar mission, I think the best company is Company E of the 506th Regiment!" Parks wasn't lying, the officers and men of Company E were more rigorously trained, and they were the only company that had adjusted their training according to their own suggestions, and there were many differences in their physique from other companies.

Hearing this, Taylor couldn't help but nod and smile: "I appreciate your straightforwardness, but I think so too." ”

"Thank you, General!" Parks smiled, he had a good impression of General Taylor, at least not so bureaucratic, and being able to call himself here and talk to himself was a sign of being very open-minded.

"Do you know your general?" Taylor still didn't talk about Parks' plans, but instead turned around and smiled at Parks.

Parks nodded, "Yes." I had several exchanges with General Lee. ”

"He admires you!" General Taylor smiled, "He said that you are the best soldier of the 101st Airborne Division, and you are the pride of the 101st Division, I very much agree with this, and I believe that Commander Zinke will not have any objections!" As he spoke, he smiled as he spread his right hand to Colonel Zink.

"Yes, I've always thought so!" Colonel Sink nodded and smiled, General Taylor's appreciation of Parks was actually an affirmation of the 506th Regiment, which made him feel very comfortable in his heart.

"Thank you, General!" Parks was still unclear, but he remained very polite and humble.

Taylor nodded, as if admiring his attitude, he paused, as if thinking about some kind of problem, and did not continue to talk, which made the division headquarters suddenly quiet, and no one made a sound, they were afraid of disturbing the general's thinking. Because they could see that General Taylor was thinking about something.

After a while, General Taylor spoke, and he finally said about the plan: "The problems mentioned in your plan are indeed very good, and as a junior officer, I am surprised to be able to consider such a comprehensive problem. Very good plan! ”

Parks nodded, he didn't say anything, he knew that the general still had something to say, but he finally got to the point, which made him a little excited and a little expectant.

"But......" General Taylor's hesitation made Parks's heart tighten, and although he knew that his plan and the possibility of convincing the upper echelons to change their minds or make drastic adjustments was almost zero, he still had some expectations, but Taylor's tone made him feel that it was just a show. It is just a show of bribing junior officers and establishing a good image of the upper commanders.

"It's impossible for us to spend countless money and adjust the deployment of troops for your speculation, it's unrealistic!" General Taylor looked at Parks, who looked a little disappointed, and shook his head, "We're spending a lot of energy and money on this, and you can't produce proof, which makes it hard for me to convince those guys!" ”

Parks knew who he was referring to. The proposer of this operation, General Montgomery and the commander of the Allied 1st Airborne Corps, Louis? General Briryton.

"Yes, General, I see!" Parks was a little frustrated, he nodded, and then he wanted to leave this place urgently, anyway, the result was the same, he had already tried, what else could he do? He now finally understands that even if he has crossed over and understood the direction and causes and consequences of the war, the little people can't change the ending after all. The wings of the Amazon's butterflies stir up and don't necessarily set off a tornado in Texas.

"So-thank you for coming, Parks!" General Taylor shook Parks' hand once more, then nodded at him, a sign of farewell!

Parks took General Taylor's hand, then let go, shrugged his shoulders at him and said, "Thank you for seeing me, it's important to me, although—" He didn't say anything, he knew what was going on, and if he didn't say it, General Taylor would have known. So he gave a military salute, then opened the door and walked out.

Colonel Zinke did not come out, he was retained by General Taylor.

"Do you think it makes sense for us to do that?" General Taylor watched Colonel Sink sit down, then nodded at him and smiled, "I know Parks is a good officer, but we're running out of time!" ”

Xinke smiled bitterly, "It's better than doing nothing, General." We're just pulling out a platoon of troops, which doesn't matter to the big picture, and if we can get information, then the arrogant British will think about it. ”

"Alright! Let's try it! General Taylor nodded.

Parks didn't know what General Taylor would do, but he was already disappointed. He thought that Taylor was an enlightened general, but now it seemed that he was nothing more than grandstanding, and there was no essential difference between him and other high-ranking figures.

Parks walked out of the divisional headquarters, then glanced at the night sky and couldn't help but take a deep breath. Not far away, Winters was leaning against the jeep's headlights, smiling as he watched Parks walk out.

"How?" Winters looked at Parks' not very good face and couldn't help but say, "Not going well?" ”

Parks nodded, then got into the car, and Winters said to the driver, "I'll drive!" With that, he took over the cab, and Parks sat beside him, and the car turned back the way it came. The air in the night sky seemed to be a little heavy in the dreary.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine, we will be ready." Winters didn't know how to comfort Parks, but he did his best to make Parks relax, which was the only thing he could do.

"I know, Dick!" Parks took a deep breath, "I just feel like the power of the individual is too small. ”

Winters smiled slightly, didn't speak, and the car shuttled through the camp. By this time, the GIs had already fallen asleep, and the sentries were wandering around, a little lazy.

Parks declined Winters' invitation, and he left the company, wandering quietly through the night alone. He had to take advantage of the silence to think about it.

"Who is it?" At this time, a voice came from Parks' side, "Password! ”

"Lightning!" Parks said loudly, then looked at the soldier who was cautiously walking towards him, "Is that Private Miller?" Parks said to him, "I'm Platoon Commander Parks!" ”

"Yes...... Is it Parks Platoon Commander? "It was Private Miller who came over, he had just changed to Sergeant Randolphmann's shift tonight, and when he saw Parks, he suddenly felt very nervous, "I, I didn't know it was you, Lieutenant Parkes!" He stammered.

"Relax!" Parks looked at him with a nervous look and couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, sir!" Miller straightened his chest, trying to stand a little straighter, he was completely out of a kind of inner respect for Parks, and this respect came from some of the records of Parks in the 101st Airborne Division, and the veterans showed respect and love for him when they talked about him.

Parks smiled, then smiled at him and said, "Are you scared?" ”

"What?" It was clear that Miller's concentration was a little unfocused, and he was still in a state of excitement, and it was the first time for him to be able to talk to Parks so closely.

"If you want to hold on to your life in war, you must be prepared to fight before parachuting, war is cruel, but you have to believe in every brother around you, trust them and rely on them!"

"Understood, sir!" Miller nodded.

"Alright, get back to work!" Parks nodded, then smiled at Miller, "Stay in shape!" ”

Miller nodded, and was about to leave, when suddenly there was a slight twist in his expression, and he looked at Parks, as if he wanted to speak. Parks didn't frown lightly and said, "Anything else?" ”

"Yes, you know, how lucky I am to be able to fight with you. I just want to tell you, sir. Regardless of the outcome, I am proud to be able to rush with you in your platoon! Miller's face looked a little serious.

Parks knew this was what was in his heart, he nodded, and then smiled, "Me too." ”

Watching Miller leave, Parks' somewhat gloomy heart suddenly brightened up again. Yes, no matter what the result is, being able to serve and fight with these heroes is the most precious experience in life, what are you still asking for? Let it be. Parks suddenly smiled at the night sky. Then walk towards the barracks.

He wanted to get himself a good night's sleep.

But Parks' wish for a good night's sleep was not fulfilled, for when he first arrived at the barracks, Captain Winters came over, and his face was solemn, as if he had something on his mind!

"Dick?" Parks was clearly surprised by Winters' sudden visit. After all, the two had just broken up.

"Latest Operational Briefing!" Winters looked at Parks with a serious face, took out a command in his hand and handed it to him.

Parks took the briefing, then looked at the order above, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that General Taylor still wants to try his luck, he surprised me." ”

Winters frowned and said, "Lacey, don't you see how difficult this task is?" God, it's crazy, it's like there's no going back. ”

"Crazier than the last time I broke into the German command?" Parks smiled.

Winters looked at him, and then said solemnly: "Lacey, you know that you will lead a platoon of men, and they will all make sacrifices for this. ”

Parks nodded, "Don't worry, I'll ask for their opinions, what I need is volunteers." ”

"Okay, let's get ready!" Winters nodded, then gave Parks a solemn military salute.

"Coming back alive is the end!" Winters lowered his hand, then patted Parks' arm, "Brothers only care about this!" You know? ”
