Parks and Virginia meet again in Paris, and Parks receives the Congressional Medal of Honor, which makes Virginia ecstatic, and her expression is even more excited than Parks. Obviously, this is another reliable weight for Virginia to rely on in the future, and it is an important proof no matter what aspect of Parks' development in the future.

Virginia took advantage of her family and military connections to get permission to fly with Parks to Washington. This is relatively rare in wartime. After all, Parks was on a special plane. It is a long-range transport aircraft specially allocated by the Allies.

The plane passed through the clouds, and below was the sea. At this time, when I looked at the sea from the plane, my mood was very different from the two times I looked at the sea from C-47. The sun is shining and the sea is clearly visible. Parks' expression was a little dazed. The sound of the plane made him feel like he was flying into the English Channel again.

"Da Da Da!" The sound of anti-aircraft machine guns seemed to echo in my ears, as well as the shouts of my brothers, the sound of fire and explosion after being hit, and the whirring wind and gunfire in my ears as parachutes spread out in the air.

"Lacey!" A soft voice in his ear startled Parks, and then he came back to his senses, everything was gone, and a gentle blonde beauty snuggled up next to him, and she gently reminded Parks, "What's wrong with you?" What are you thinking? So distracted? Can you share it with me? ”

Parks smiled slightly, patted her hand lightly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm distracted, I'm thinking about what will happen after I return home, what will it be like in Washington?" You know, this is the highest honor that a soldier pursues in his life, and now I have it in just four months since I landed in Normandy! ”

Virgilia smiled at Parks and nodded, "Honey, I know, I'm just as excited as you are, and you've always been able to make me feel proud anytime, anywhere." I love you, Lacey! Virginia's eyes were filled with tenderness.

Parks could see her sincerity, he took her hand, nodded and said, "Virginia, my honor is your honor, I want you to remember this, I'm glad you're proud of me, I'll always do it, and I hope you can always feel that way, which touches me!" ”

Virginia didn't say anything, but rested her head on Parks' shoulder, like a gentle little woman snuggled into her lover's arms, enjoying a moment of quiet and happiness.

The plane was in the air for a long time, because it was Parker's plane, and no one else came to interfere with Parkes, only the flight personnel were in contact with the Allies at all times.

"Lieutenant Parks, we're going to stop at the USS Yorktown, refuel, and then fly straight to the United States." At this time, the lieutenant co-pilot of the plane turned around and said to Parks.

"Well, it's up to you, now it's on your turf!" Parks smiled at him and shrugged his shoulders, but he suddenly asked, "Is the Yorktown on duty in the Atlantic?" ”

The lieutenant smiled: "No, they are temporarily on duty in the Atlantic, they were originally deployed in the Pacific. Now is the right place for us to stay, and if we are a day late, they will be back on the Pacific Ocean. ”

Parks nodded, indicating that he understood. The Pacific War was at its most tense, and the Yorktown aircraft carrier itself should have been silent in the waters near Midway Island on the afternoon of June 6, 1942, along with the USS Enterprise and the USS Hornet, but I don't know why it appeared in the Atlantic Ocean now, perhaps because of its own reasons, history has deviated a little.

Parks had no way of knowing, he didn't want to think deeply about these issues, and now the war of the American military in the Pacific is indeed going on as in history, and there are no major deviations, which may be an exception.

After flying for some time, the pilot began to make contact with the personnel of the aircraft carrier, and soon a fighter plane appeared in front of it, apparently an American plane, which circled in front of Parks' plane and flew forward with the plane. It's piloting Parkes' plane. Guide it to land.

When the plane landed on the deck, there was a screeching grinding sound, and then the fuselage stopped firmly on the deck of the aircraft carrier. The pilot said loudly from this Parks: "Lieutenant, let's go down first, mine and their captain to talk." Then he nodded at Parks and Virginia.

Parks understood, then climbed out of the plane and on the spiral staircase, guiding Virginia down. Then a sailor guided Parks into the ship's sailors' lounge. And the pilot, with an officer, went in the other direction, and they were going to find the captain and refuel the plane.

"How does it feel to go from land to sky and then from sky to sea?" Parks asked Virginia with a smile.

"Very good!" Virginia nodded and smiled, "The most important thing is to be with you, isn't it?" ”

Parks couldn't help but smile, then shook Virginia's hand.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and a sailor stood at the door, holding a plate, and then looked at the two of them in some surprise, coughed dryly, and forced himself to calm down: "Sir, can you come in?" I've brought us coffee, which may help ease your fatigue! He still had some embarrassed expressions.

"Of course, why not?" Parks shrugged his shoulders, then watched the sailor put down the cups and coffee pots on his plate, filling each of them with a full one, and couldn't help but nod and smile, "Thank you very much, what's your name?" Marine! ”

"Kafit, Stan? Kafit, sir! The sailor put his plate behind his back and looked at Parks as if he had something to say.

"Anything else?" Parks nodded at him.

"Yes, that's probably a bit presumptuous!" Kafit became a little cramped, losing his composure, "I...... You're Lieutenant Parkes, Lacey? Lieutenant Parkes: Is it? ”

Parks nodded, then smiled, "Is there a problem?" Kaffit! ”

"Can I ask you to sign it?" Suddenly, the sailor quickly took a pen and paper from his pocket and placed them on the table, "I know it's rude, but we are encouraged by your deeds. ”

"No problem!" Parks realized that it was clear that the sailor might have known his name somewhere, and then had such thoughts. He took the sailor's pen and paper, signed his name on the paper, and wrote a phrase: Anyone can become a hero if they are brave and fearless.

"Thank you very much, sir!" Kaffett gave a military salute to Parks, and was about to turn and leave, when he reached the door, he suddenly saw a rear admiral walk in, and quickly stood upright and raised his hands in salute.

Parks and Virginia also quickly stood up. It is clear that this is a rear admiral, and it looks like the commander of this aircraft carrier. Of course, this is Parks' speculation. When the major general walked in, he saluted him.

The rear admiral returned the salute, then smiled and shook Virginia's hand lightly and said, "Please forgive me for my rudeness." Let me introduce myself first, I'm John, the commander of this aircraft carrier? James Clark. You must be Lieutenant Parkes, and it looks like I've got a guest on board today. ”

"Yes, General!" Parks nodded, and some questions came to mind. Of course, his puzzled expression did not escape the eyes of Major General John.

"Do you have any questions? Lieutenant! General John sat down across from Parks and smiled.

"I'm sorry, I'm just a little weird, on this aircraft carrier, actually- it's just a little weird!" Parks, of course, would not be stupid enough to ask the general why the aircraft carrier has not sunk now.

Major General John couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that I still have to explain, I know where your doubts are." The aircraft carrier Yorktown was actually sunk. It accomplished its mission, fought valiantly, and then sank in the Pacific Ocean. Lieutenant, this is true, and no wonder you feel this way. But, obviously, you missed something, in 1943, President Roosevelt renamed the CV-10 aircraft carrier Yorktown in honor of that heroic aircraft carrier, so this is the new Yorktown aircraft carrier. ”

I see, Parks couldn't help but smile bitterly, it turned out that history has not deviated, everything is his own unwarranted conjecture. How can history change dramatically because of the appearance of one person?

"I see!" Parks nodded, and said busily, "General, you know, I don't mean anything disrespectful to this heroic aircraft carrier. ”

"I know!" Major General John nodded, then smiled, "Actually, I already knew about you, of course, from the newspaper. Be amazed at your experience. You can say that you have made a history of the US military. It's something to be proud of all Americans. So, I sometimes think that if I can command a team of Marines who are as brave as you, then I can fight to Tokyo! ”

Parks couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Of course, if one day I can take your aircraft carrier and fight against the Honke, I will definitely achieve your wish - to fight in Tokyo." ”

"There will come a day, Lieutenant!" Major General John nodded at Parks.

"I'm looking forward to it, General!" Parks also nodded solemnly, "This is not politeness and etiquette, I have this wish!" ”

"Me too!"

The two shook hands again, then smiled. Rear Admiral John stood up again, then said to Parks, "I hope you can get used to the coffee prepared by our navy." ”

"Very good taste."

"But I don't like it, I'm so tired!" Major General John smiled, then turned around and was about to leave.

"I don't like army supplies, maybe we're getting our tastes wrong!" Parks laughed.

Major General John nodded and smiled: "Very good, I like you, you are a good officer!" Goodbye, Lieutenant, Goodbye, Beautiful Madam! ”

"Goodbye, General!" Parks smiled slightly, and then said in his heart: Maybe we will really meet again, General!
