On the night of April 945, there was an incident of manslaughter. A newly promoted officer to the head of the intelligence unit, William? Major Richie led four brothers from the regimental intelligence unit in an attempt to cross the Rhine to conduct reconnaissance patrols. However, they did not inform the U.S. defense forces in advance, and as a result, they were killed by machine gun fire as they crossed the river. Their bodies were found a few days later in the lower reaches of the Rhine. This is just one of a few incidents of accidental injury. But it also made the brothers of E Company cautious. Now that they know that the end of the war is near, their only task is not to prove how good they are, but to find a way to save their lives so that they can return home.

On April, logistics delivered everyone's mail. This is when the brothers are happiest. And their letters are generally happy to be shared with others. It was a rule among the soldiers, especially the letters written by the girls.

Parks also received two letters, one was from his retired cheap father, and it didn't say much, that is, Parks's mother missed him very much, and wanted him to write a reply letter to give her a little comfort in her heart. Parks has a vague impression of his parents, basically inheriting the original memories but never going back, and their impressions are already very vague. But there was something unpredictable in this blur, and he didn't go back just because he didn't know how to get along with them, or say something. Maybe it's time to go back, and it can be regarded as an explanation to them, no matter what the result will be, what will happen to your own heart.

The second letter was written by Virginia. Her letter silenced Parks again. As always, Virginia was telling her how much she missed her. and her current condition. After she returned to the United States, her father's health was not very good, and she was gradually taking over the business situation, but she was too busy. She wrote in the letter: Whenever I am busy with the day's work, I will lie in bed and recall our fragments, it is very strange that we have not experienced a long time together from meeting each other, but we seem to be so reluctant to each other, just like a couple who have been together for many years, and now the parting is just that the husband went to a distant place on a business trip, and the wife waited for the husband to come home, and then prepared delicious food. All of this touched Parks a little. To this woman, he knew her **, the ** of power and the ** of Parks. And in addition to Parks' unusual talent, there is also an important reason that Parks is a national hero, and this aura is enough to intoxicate any woman. But to Parks' dismay, Virginia mentions one thing at the end, Jennifer quit her job with Virgilia shortly after returning to the United States with her, and then disappeared, never to be found again. But she once said something to Virginia when she returned, and she mentioned it in the letter: I only want equality, and when the three of us can be equal one day, I will come back, and Lacey is mine

When Virginia heard Jennifer's words, she was surprised, she thought that she could drink Jennifer to reach a compromise, but now it seems that Jennifer's personality is not such a compromised person, maybe she has already thought about it, and regarded this gathering of three as a final compromise and feast, and then withdraws away, and when she has enough advantages, she will come back and take her food and enjoy it to herself. This is exactly what Virginia is worried about, and she has already seen her strength on Wall Street. As long as there is an opportunity, she has the potential to succeed.

Parks could only smile wryly now, he knew that Jennifer's personality was much stronger than Virginia's, from his first encounter with Jennifer, he even remembered the way she shouted at him, "If you dare to forget me, I will kill you", there was a raging fire in her eyes, which was shocking.

"What's wrong?" Major Winters' voice interrupted Parks' thoughts, "Because of the letter?" Is there anything I can help with? Winters looked at him with a smile.

"No, no, I'll have to deal with this matter myself, and you can't help it," Parks hurriedly shook his hand, "You know, the two girls who came that day, I think the three of them will always have a conflict." The point is that I don't have a clear attitude yet. It's my fault, I think I'll have to find a chance to make amends."

Winters nodded approvingly, "You're right, Lacey. I'm not good at dealing with women, it's really up to you. But I don't think you're the worst. Nick's situation is not objective. He's drinking at the table in the living room, and you'd better not bother him, he has a stomach full of resentment. ”

"Because of what?" Parks looked at Major Winters differently.

"Women are just like you. But it turned out to be much worse than yours, at least you weren't drinking too much, and you were yelling or something. Major Winters shrugged his shoulders, "I can't persuade him, I don't know how, maybe you can communicate, it's all about women's affairs, so there's a common topic" Winters looked at Parks, expressing his desire for him to take a look.

"Well, I hope the two frustrated people can comfort each other." Parks nodded helplessly, and then walked towards the dining room, and in the distance he could see the author on the side of Nickerson, lying on the table, there were already two empty bottles on the table, and one bottle had been poured out a little and a half, and Nickerson was tilting his head and pouring the wine from the glass into it.

"Bring me a drink, Nick," said Parks, who sat down across from Nickerson, "because of women?" As he spoke, he took a glass of wine from Nickerson and drank half of it in one gulp.

"Casey is divorcing me," Nickerson said with some anger.

Parks nodded, "I see, I'm sorry, Nick"

"She's going to take everything, she's going to take the house, she's going to take the kids, she's going to take the dog," Nickerson said as he spread his hands out and said angrily, "That's not her dog, that's my dog." She's going to take my dog. Damn, God, what am I going to do? As he spoke, he covered his face with his hands. Then he took a deep breath.

"I hate it, Nick," he said, raising his glass, "a woman made for God," Nickerson reluctantly picked up the glass, and the two touched it.

Parks drained his drink, poured another half a glass, and said to Nickerson, "I don't know what to say." Just now Dick said to me that you are also because of the problem of women, and that the two of us have a common topic. ”

"A woman's problem? You? Nickerson gave him a noncommittal look, "Now that the battalion has gone from officer to private, that brother doesn't envy you?" Don't talk to me about women, Lacey, you're going to irritate me again. ”

Parks shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Nick, at least your woman is just divorced, but she is still there, but my woman is gone, God, in order to escape, she actually played missing, I don't even know where to find her, or think it's a ridiculous dream." Don't think too much about it, let's look at the good, Nick, when a woman says goodbye to you, it's when we're free, isn't it? ”

"Yes, freedom," Nickerson said, holding up his glass to Parks, "Lacey, this is the best reassuring word I've ever heard, for freedom," and the two of them touched their glasses again and drank them down.

"You don't want Dick, he can't say anything so philosophical, and Harry, that bastard knows I'm going to get a divorce and has long since disappeared here. God knows if the wedding he now longs for with Betty is not the prison where he was imprisoned. And damn Buck, he was a heartthrob when he was in college, and he naturally didn't know that there were still people who were worried about women. Looks like the two of us can just talk."

"Of course, we have a common topic," Parks shook his head, then raised his glass again. It was meant to persuade Nixon, but now Parks just wanted to drink a little more. Although Jennifer's disappearance is a pity for him, isn't it a relief? In the future, if the three of them really live together for a long time, then the contradiction will be inevitable, and the outside media will not let them go, because now Parks is a hero in the United States, and his image problem will also make them have to scruple, but what if one day Jennifer succeeds and comes back to start a war with Virginia? Parks had a headache just thinking about it, but luckily it was still far away. You can only take one step at a time.

That night, both Parks and Nickerson were drunk because of the woman's problem. But Nickerson looked more frustrated than Parks. The collapse of his marriage had cost him everything he had, and Parks had at least one more, not nothing.

On the evening of April, the men at the battalion command received news that President Roosevelt had died. The people who were gambling and drinking or shaving in the house were stunned, and they watched in amazement as an officer who had come from the regimental headquarters had reported the news and left. Actually, Roosevelt's death was already known on the radio, but they didn't want to listen to it.

At this time, Parks suddenly realized that Roosevelt's death was no different from the original world. History hasn't changed, but what are you here? Since nothing has changed?

At least he changed a lot of things about the company, he saved the lives of many of his brothers and reduced their casualties, especially the veterans who had trained with him in Takoya, they were such a lovely bunch. Because of his arrival, the brothers who were originally dead or injured are alive and well. That's enough, there's nothing more valuable than saving these venerable lives—that's what it's all about being born again, Parks sat quietly, telling himself with certainty
