Chapter 355 Five Years

Sunlight shines into the huge glass-walled office, the first glass-walled building in the United States, and even if the sun shines, it only makes people feel comfortable and not feel dazzling. 【Reading Network】Book Friends Whole _ Rationality * Provide~ For the huge independent office is divided into rooms and arranged throughout the 18th floor, everyone is busy, and there are people in the aisle who are constantly walking sideways, otherwise they will knock down the colleagues who are also rushing forward. In one of the separate offices, a figure was sitting at a desk. The office stands on its own and is warmly furnished, with dark red sandalwood furniture and desk chairs with leather upholstery that looks vintage.

At the entrance to the company, there is a huge relief-like letter, E, which is the name of the company, in honor of the company that was once a hero. Not everyone knows the meaning of this letter, but what does that matter? It's a new New York company, focused on research.

In early December 1945, Parks left the barracks, and a month later, he suddenly bought the Bell Telephone Laboratory Company in New Jersey, USA, and soon moved the company to New York, and founded the William Telephone Laboratories Company. Shaw Clay, John? Barton and Walter, the father of the transistor? The research team formed by Bratton is responsible for the research of transistors and has invested a lot of money in it. At the same time, the laboratory is called E Laboratory.

1 The first transistor radio was put on the market, and at this time, Parks proposed to the e-laboratory that all the transistors, diodes and other components needed for electronic circuits be made on a single semiconductor wafer. It's not a pre-existing idea, it's just that no one has thought of it yet, and Parks came up with this concept four years in advance, which is enough to change a lot of things. And the Bell Labs are full of down-to-earth and hard-working genius scientists.

That is, the first semiconductor computer was born in the e-lab, and its birth caused a sensation in the scientific community, because it was the first xiao-type calculator with a data processing system and programming language FoRTRAn. This can be said to be a huge progress in the field of computers, at least several years earlier than later generations, and all of this is an outstanding research achievement in semiconductor integrated circuits. Parks was not involved in the research, he just made some suggestions for building Xìng, and these seemingly superficial suggestions could open the door to the future of science and technology for those brilliant scientists.

At the same time, Parks began to invest in finance, and used his foresight to achieve a series of successes, quickly accumulating raw funds, and at the same time he began a new round of planning.

The relationship between Virgilia and Parks further expanded, and the Gray family, after Parks had achieved great things, began to make a comprehensive investigation of Parks. And use this to determine whether the marriage between Parks and Virginia can maximize the interests of the family. But in fact, it's all in the way of maximizing benefits. Parks's laboratory has brought huge business opportunities to the Gray family's arms business, first of all, the technology is the best, the computer that can assemble the program has been applied to large weapons, including tanks, and all kinds of military vehicles, which has allowed the Gray family to get a lot of orders from the Department of Defense, and now the PV45 improved automatic rifle PV48 finalized production, and some derivative PV48 gun families have become the standard configuration of special forces, and the order is further expanding, The Marine Corps is already planning to partially replace the PV family of guns to replace the lack of vitality caused by the M1 rifle.

Standing by the huge glass wall, Parks couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion when he looked out the window at the tall buildings and the ant-like crowd of people shuttling downstairs. It's been almost five years since I left E Company, and the time of the past five years has changed, and I have exhausted a lot of hard work, relying on what I gained in the war, step by step to get to where I am today, although there is Virginia's help, but the efforts I have made are really unimaginable to others.

"Honey, what are you looking at?" A slender figure flashed in from the gently pushed open door, her voice tinged with a hint of appreciation, and then she walked softly towards Parks. There is only one person who can come in without knocking, and that is Virginia. She looked at Parks standing in front of the glass wall, her heart always couldn't help but fall in love, this man after leaving the army, he can always make himself feel that kind of confidence and victory over everything, she didn't look away at the beginning, he is indeed a diamond, whether it is in the army, or in the business world, his forward-looking vision and means of turning the clouds in the financial world, as well as the natural sensitivity of weapon transformation, have made her deeply in love.

Virginia reached out and hugged Parks's waist tightly from behind, then rested her head lightly on his shoulder, looking at the Huahua world outside with him.

"I'm wondering - what would it be like if I had been in the army at this time?" Parks couldn't help but smile. The assault company was trained at Shanks Camp in New York, and in the years that followed, it was expanded to nearly 2,000 personnel, and the veterans of the assault company served as the backbone of the special forces. They uphold the credo and training and combat methods that Parks had used to create the Black Panthers.

But in the past few years, some brothers have left one after another. Lip, Martin, Landowman, Goneri, Malachi, Liegotte, Kaufman, Lyle, Siffodi, and Lutz left after two years. And Captain Haliger chose to stay, and he now holds the rank of commander of this unit, with the rank of lieutenant colonel. Cobb, Paikanti, Heflang, Toy, and Hubler chose to stay, and they may have made the military their lifelong career. That's basically all there is left of the E Company.

"Are you still missing those brothers of yours?" Virginia said softly, "In the past few years, you have been inquiring about their whereabouts, of course, if it is possible, why don't you invite them to New York, you can at least get together." ”

Parks nodded, "I thought about it" but he quickly put the topic aside and said to Virginia, "Two days ago, a letter came from the army, they want to rerecruit officers who had experience in World War II and help them train the Airborne Forces, and I am among them"

"Why did you want to rejoin the army?" Visibly displeased, Virginia wriggled in displeasure before clinging to Parks' ear, "Lacey, are you going?" Tell me, you're not going to go to your company here, what about your lab? ”

Parks turned around, hugged Virgilia in his arms, and sighed: "You know, I can't make a decision on this, I have a special affection for the army, but if it's for the war, I don't think I'll go back." I've had enough of the days of war. But even if I'm leaving, isn't there still Jennifer? In the past two years, she has really managed the company, she is a natural business genius, you have to admit that. ”

"But—but she never met me, and even when she did, you know, she had a knot in her heart. I know we don't have a good relationship like this, but neither of us can afford to get away with it. Virginia said this, and suddenly her expression was a little gloomy, "My father has done some research on you over the years, I believe you already know, and you understand what he means." What would happen to Jennifer if we did have a wedding? I can't imagine what the result will look like. ”

"Don't worry, there's a way," Parks could only comfort her like this. Jennifer's return is very timely for Parkes, he needs a financial talent he can trust to help him turn the financial street of Wall Street upside down, and Jennifer appeared, as if she had known Parks' plan for a long time, very timely, helped Parkes, using her years of accumulated experience, as well as Parkes's forward-looking foresight, in the past two years, Parkes relied on the financial market to obtain a lot of money, it can be said that Jennifer is Parkes's biggest hero in this regard.

"I have another plan, Virginia," Parks said softly, "I want to be a security company, and I'm going to recruit the old brothers of Company E, and of course the brethren of the commando, if they want to." Now security companies have a good future. ”

Virginia couldn't help but shake her head and smile: "I know, you're still for your brothers, but if you want me to help, you can tell me." I'll help you."

"Thank you" Virginia's unconditional support for no reason touched Parks, and he rubbed Virginia's forehead and said, "Well, I can tell you that if I am sure to be drafted into the army, I think the only way I can refuse is that I will choose another path, I will go to school, although I will also enter the army at West Point, but at the very least, there is no need for war there for the time being." ”

Yes, such a conscription for the US military carries a strong "coercive xìng". If you don't go, you will be charged with "desertion" and will eventually be tried by a military court. After eight years of reserve and official service, you can officially end your obligations. Otherwise, even if you retire, you may be called back to the army at any time. But in the same way, if you are studying in a military academy during this period, you can cover the time of service, so that you can escape this call-up.

And Parks knows better what this call-up is preparing for. Because at this time, in that part of the Asian continent, on the Korean Peninsula, some people began to move stupidly. There is a danger that a major war on the Korean Peninsula is imminent. This call-up is basically a preparation by the US government to deal with a possible sudden situation in North Korea.

At this time, in the office of a chemical plant in New Jersey, Winters, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, also received a letter from the Department of the Army, and Winters was redrafted into the army. When he saw this letter, he couldn't help but feel a lot of feelings, and he was stunned for a long time without making a sound.

"I wonder who else is the one who received this letter?" Winters couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, he found Nickerson, then raised the envelope in his hand and said, "I don't think I can sit in your office anymore, I'm drafted"

"Oh my god, those War Office guys got kicked in the head by a donkey" Nickerson shook his head before sighing, "As you can see, Parks won't have escaped this call-up if nothing else, and hopefully you'll be reunited in the military."

Winters shook his head: "It's not easy. Nick, I'm tired of living like that. ”

Yes, Winters, who is now back to a peaceful life, is not so serious about the army, but his feelings and thoughts for the brothers of E-Company are growing day by day. But at this time, a big event happened that shocked the world.

On June 25, 195o, the Korean War broke out.
