Parks opened the box, revealing a silver bar inside. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but crooked, and he laughed, to be honest, he was promoted again this time, which made him quite happy.

At this point, Wales took out a few glasses, poured them out, handed them to everyone, and laughed loudly: "This is indeed worth a drink." "No, Harry, just give me a glass of water!" Winters shook his head and laughed, "You know! ”

"Oh, don't do that, Dick, don't be disappointed! Make an exception once! Wales couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Didn't you make an exception last time?" It can be the same this time. ”

Winters looked at Wales and smiled helplessly: "It seems that it was really a wrong decision!" Without further ado, he raised his glass, and then looked at the crowd, "So—"

"For the battalion commander, or for the captain?" Nickerson looked at Parks and Winters and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Cheers!" Parks smiled, and the glasses of the four of them touched each other.

The four of them are in a good mood. And Winters, Nexon, Parks, and Wales have always been the best in their relationship, which is the key to the fact that the four of them have always maintained a very good friendship. They admired each other, fought bravely and straightforwardly, and each was willing to give everything for the others, even their lives. So even if it is a very dangerous mission, one of them will attract several other people to participate without hesitation.

"When can we evacuate the line?" Parks beckoned Winters and Nickerson to sit down, then each poured another glass of wine, poured Winters a glass of water, and asked Winters.

"I don't know, I'm afraid this is not something we can call the shots!" Winters shook his head and said, "Maybe it's coming soon, there are already British troops and Canadian troops coming up one after another, I think we should have to get through to the end." ”

"Maybe!" Nick wasn't very optimistic, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Those guys in Canada are old soldiers. Don't expect anything from them. Well, it's time for us to take our leave! Nickerson drained the glass in one gulp, then stood up, and smiled at Parks, "What do you think of Spiel?" ”

Parks was a little surprised, "Lieutenant Spierre? What's wrong? But it feels very good, brave in battle, and it feels very good to cooperate with him this time, he has many qualities that officers do not have. Looking forward to working with him again! ”

"There will be a chance! Lieutenant Spierre has left Company D, and he will serve as a staff officer at the battalion headquarters for a while. Winters interjected with a laugh. With that, he shook his head at Nexon, beckoned him along, and left the headquarters of Company E.

"What does he mean by that?" Wales looked at Parks in surprise, apparently bewildered by Winters' headless words. What does Spear have to do with Strip leaving D Company for the battalion headquarters and him working with Parks again?

"I know. Going to the battalion headquarters is only the first step, and if I want to get Spiel over, I think it won't be long before this condition is fulfilled. Parks did understand what Winters meant, after all, he knew people like Winters and Spear, "Harry, I think it won't be long before we have a third platoon leader. ”

"You mean Lieutenant Spierre?" Wales looked at Parks, grinned suddenly, "I knew you guys were messing around, but Spear is not bad, I like it!" ”

"Why not?" Parks smiled, then walked to the other side, where there was a small mirror, and Parks pulled the small box out of his pocket, and then pointed it into the mirror, pinning the silver bar himself to the collar. Then he straightened his chest, looked left and right at his figure, and nodded in satisfaction.

"It's so handsome!" Wales looked at him from the sidelines and smiled, "I'm a little jealous of you now." You're one of the fastest officers I've ever seen to get promoted! Sergeant, ensign, lieutenant, then captain, you only took a few months, God, on June 5 when you boarded C-47 from England, you were still a sergeant. Now in Holland you are already a captain. ”

"It surprised myself!" Parks spread his hands, turned to look at Wales and smiled, "God really cares for me." But does it make a difference? We still have to stay in this damn place, enduring the shelling of the Germans. If the speed of my promotion could make Hitler feel so much pressure that he chose to surrender, that would mean a lot to me! ”

"Brilliant attention!" Wales smiled, and then drank the wine from his glass.

The news of Parkes' promotion to captain soon spread among the people of E Company, and the commendation received by E Company was widely publicized throughout the division headquarters through the 101st Airborne Division. After this battle, the morale of the brothers has been boosted to a certain extent. In fact, it is better to say that when you stay in the trench, you are not too lazy to pull the feces in the trench and make it stink.

The brothers of E Company are indeed much more diligent. And when Parks was on patrol, he could always see the admiration and envy of his brothers for him. But it doesn't matter, the most important thing is that the morale of the brothers has really improved compared to before.

White was one of the happiest. Truth be told, he's always been a die-hard supporter of Parks. From his time at Tacoya Barracks, he had the best relationship with Parks, and Parks was willing to stand up for him. And it also allowed him to avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles, such as Sober looking for trouble for no reason.

So, in E-Company, White is the one who is the least tolerant of people saying bad things about Parks, and the one who is the least tolerant of being passive about Parks' orders. Now that Parkes has been promoted, his support for this relationship has also been rising. He and Kaber had a fight for this. In fact, it is also a simple thing to listen to.

"He's really shit lucky!" It was this sentence that Caber said, and he was beaten by White, and the two did not deal with each other very much. In particular, White is at odds with Camber after he mistakenly killed the husband of a French woman in Carrington. He thinks that this guy only complains, causes trouble, and is not a good paratrooper.

"That's what he worked so hard to get, he deserves it, shut your mouth, don't talk about shit luck or anything like that!" White heard it when he passed by Kaber's side, and then launched a counterattack, "You shameless bastard, you are not qualified to evaluate the company commander!" ”

"Hey, White, no matter your business, I didn't mess with you, you go your way, I say my word." Of course, Caber was not to be outdone, because there were several recruits in front of him, Miller, Hux, and others, and he didn't want to lose face in front of these people.

"Is that what you're trying to say?" White refused to let him go, he stepped forward and said to Caber, "Hasn't Captain Parks achieved great things since he landed in Normandy?" He deserves it, but you say it's shit luck? I guess you're underwhelmed or something? ”

"That's not a bad word!" Kaber distinguished, indeed, this sentence was actually a tone of envy, not a big deal, but White didn't like this guy at all, and deliberately wanted to provoke trouble. He wants to make Caber drop in front of the recruits to vent the resentment that has been building up in Carrington's heart since then.

"You're a bastard at all!" White yelled at him dissatisfied.

"What do you want? Don't go too far! Kaber's face couldn't hold back, "White, you're actually calling me a bastard, tmd you're a bastard, you damn it!" As he spoke, Kaber rushed up and grabbed White by the collar.

How could White let him succeed, and when Kaber rushed over, he punched him in the face, and with a "bang", he staggered, took several steps back, and almost fell to the ground.

"Damn, you dare to hit me?" Kaber rushed forward, and the two quickly scuffled.

"Oh God, Kaber's face is turning into a pig's head!" At this time, many people gathered around to watch, and it was obvious that they did not mean to pull the two apart, especially when White had the upper hand, in fact, many people did not like to see Kaber, and now it can be seen.

"I bet 20 yuan, and Kaber can't take five hits!" Someone was making a bet - it was Malachi, and he was smiling at Paikanti, "Look, do you want to bet?" ”

"No, I'll bet three times, I'll only bet three times!" Paikanti hurried, because at this time, Caber was punched in the face by White, and he staggered again, and almost fell to the ground. His face turned red, if he lost, he would be too embarrassed today, and he didn't provoke it first. This made him a little aggrieved.

"Oh my God! You're watching from the sidelines? Then someone rushed over, and he shouted at the two men, "Damn, what are you doing?" Beat your own brother? Are you both crazy? The person who squeezed over was Sergeant Major Lip, and he shook his head at Guneri and said, "You are also a non-commissioned officer, and you didn't stop it!" ”

Goneri shrugged his shoulders and smiled, not discerning himself. In fact, he is happy to see it, and someone teaches him a lesson that he can't look down on Kaber, what's wrong with that?

"Not my problem!" At this time, the two of them were pulled apart, and Kaber complained to Li Pu aggrievedly, "This guy is completely like a madman, he doesn't have any reason." ”

"Shit!" White spat at him on the ground, then turned and walked away, not even looking at Kaber.

This incident is not big or small, but it exposes some hidden contradictions between the brothers. Although everyone seems to be very close, there is a problem, that is, the brothers have been in the trench for a long time, and they are always very angry, and they are prone to situations like Caber and White just now. Moreover, there is also a certain contradiction between recruits, supplementary recruits, and veterans, and the recruits do not look down on the arrogance of the veterans, and the veterans are not used to the pampered appearance of the recruits.

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble!" White stood at the company headquarters with some embarrassment, and Lipp finally told Parks what had happened. And in E-Company, everyone knows that Parks and White have a better relationship. If you give it to Parks like this, it might have some effect.

Parks motioned for White to sit down, then smiled slightly, stood up, poured a glass of rum, handed it to White, and said, "Come?" ”

"Okay, come a little!" White turned out to be a wine glass and drank it all.

Parks sat across from White and said with a smile, "It's definitely not as comfortable here as it is in the trenches, it's damn weather, it's raining constantly, and I think a lot of my brothers are going to get moldy on their bodies." But luckily we still have rum! With that, Parks raised his glass toward White.

"Lacey, you don't want to say something to me?" White looked at Parks and said, "I know you're getting some trouble!" ”
