Chapter 178: Sequelae
In fact, Marach was not as overlooked as he was on the first night, and in the days that followed, he still enjoyed the beauty of Paris and the good wines. But their plan had to end early, because even a huge sum of $3,600 could not last long in a gold cave like Paris. They had returned to Wigherr by car two days early, and by the time they arrived, all three of them had nothing on their bodies, and their pockets were cleaner than they had been robbed.
Of course, they were fine, but there were a few unlucky ones, not only did they run out of money, but they also had wounds on their faces, and Carber was even escorted back by the gendarmerie. After he and Webster were drinking at the bar, Kaber molested a barmaid and was beaten up. Although Kaber has revealed his identity as E-Lian, this identity is not easy to use anytime and anywhere. However, the gendarmes were polite to him, and he was protected, otherwise those ruthless characters would have peeled him off.
There were many like them who came back early, few who returned with a full load, and who were usually squeezed out of the last copper plate of their bodies like Marachi, and then returned in disgrace, and a few, like Carbour, fought in Paris, or molested women, and then were escorted by the gendarmes and taken on a free return car.
All in all, there were very few of the brothers of E-Company who spent the entire holiday in Paris, and Parks was one of them. Because he didn't have to worry about money, and he didn't have to fight with people for molesting women. He spent the entire holiday with Virginia discussing their future lives, with Virginia jokingly telling Parks that he should be put on the campaign after the war. Of course, Parks just took it as a joke. Campaign? How can it be? He doesn't want to be intrigued in the shady American political arena for the rest of his life.
The brothers, who had returned to Wigherre early, were not in a good mood, so they had to increase their activities in the surrounding area, and went hunting in the surrounding woods, or collecting the Dutch wine everywhere.
Company E is still the company commander of Winters, he and Nexon went to London, England, spent a few days in London, and then returned to Wigheil ahead of schedule, because of the lack of discipline from the officers, and it was a holiday, those soldiers developed a loose habit, and military discipline was much lax, which was definitely the sequelae of the long holiday after the war.
"Yesterday Company E was sent back by the Allied gendarmerie in Paris: Hubl, Pacondy, and Toy. Well, and last night, Guannerey and Lenny were found in the Dutchman's cellar, and they were drunk and drunk in the Dutchman's cellar, and they were thrown out like potatoes, well, I'll see...... By the way, there are also Christenson, Donnett and Bloy who have returned from injury, so I will place them in the second row for the time being! In the room of the company headquarters, Nickerson was holding a record board and looking through some of the yesterday's events recorded by the battalion headquarters.
"God, these guys do almost everything!" Winters nibbled on an apple, then walked out of the bathroom, shaved, and washed an apple. "We've only been out for a few days, and we've become like this."
"What the hell?" Nickerson couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, he continued to look through the battalion headquarters' records of the situation of E Company these days, "This is already good, at least there has been no robbery and rapportation of women." With that, he left the clipboard on the table and poured a glass of wine, "What are you going to do with these guys?" Or are you going to keep it for Parks to get a headache? ”
"Did the battalion department urge?" Winters couldn't help but be stunned.
"No, but they said it would be better to straighten things out here and then go to the battalion headquarters. There will be an official appointment paper, and Parks' appointment will be issued at the same time as yours, signed by Colonel Zinke. Nickerson took a sip of his wine, then smiled and pointed at Winters, "Thanks to you, I will also return to the battalion headquarters at the same time to continue my intelligence work." ”
"Oh? That's great! Winters nodded.
Nickson nodded and smiled: "Yes, because I was worried that you had a strange temper and would not be able to handle the relationship with the people in the battalion, so I just passed, at least when you were isolated, and I was on your side, so that you would not seem so withdrawn!" ”
Winters smiled and said, "I knew you would say that." Your friends are withdrawn like that, aren't they? Then he picked up the clipboard that Nicholson had thrown on the table, and frowned, "I don't want to leave a lot of trouble for Parks." Nick, it looks like we're going to be busy for a while. These guys have to be taught a lesson. ”
"You'll be satisfied!" Nickerson pointed at Winters with his glass, then smiled slightly.
In order to stop making trouble after these guys returned to Wigheil, Winters conducted two days of training for the soldiers in the battalion on the last two days of the holiday, including morning and marching training, and tossed these guys with no strength, and then he would not think about any other ideas. In this way, he was indeed born in peace for two days.
Parks returned to Wigheil on the last day, and with him several officers, including Wales, who had flown to Ireland, enjoyed the whole holiday in the Gentle Country, and returned contentedly.
"Oh, these bunches!" At the company headquarters, Captain Winters handed the record board to Wales, and then he broke out in exclamation, and it was clear that what these boys were doing was really amazing.
"I expected them to do a big job, but I didn't expect it to be even better than I expected!" Parks also looked at the clipboard and couldn't help but smile, "Good guys! ”
"I've exhausted them for the past two days!" Winters smiled at Parks, "But, Lacey, you'll have to show authority in the future, or they'll do something out of the ordinary." ”
Parks nodded.
Wales laughed and said, "It looks like these guys have to learn a good lesson." They think that they have become heroes, they can do whatever they want, just wait, and the heroes will be tortured at some point. ”
Nickerson laughed and said, "There's nothing wrong with handing over this mission to Wales." ”
"Who's to say it isn't?" Parks and Winters nodded at the same time.
Indeed, as on the record board, the brothers of E Company cleaned up the angry things this holiday. It was not just the complaints of the municipal axes of Paris against the Allies, but also the complaints of the local Dutch against the Allies. Commander Zinke got angry at the regimental headquarters and claimed to make the guys look good.
"Look, guys." At the end of the holiday, Werner shook his head at the first rally and said, "Captain Zinke has a headache for us, we can't do better than the Germans, don't forget, what are we here for, we are liberators." So as an officer, I definitely support the words of Regiment Commander Zink, and of course, as an E Company, I understand you very well! ”
The audience burst into laughter.
"However, it is precisely because of my understanding that I sympathize with you, and the company has decided to resume all training, morning marches, field marches, night marches, physical training, exercises, etc., everything that the regimental headquarters can think of, we will carry it out," Wales shrugged his shoulders at this time, "Unfortunately, guys, in short. Say goodbye to the erosion of the past and the life of [***]! I don't think the regimental headquarters and the company will cancel this training plan, unless we go to the front tomorrow to fight the Germans! ”
As soon as Wales's words fell, the audience immediately mourned.
"Oh God, tell me, that's not true, is it?" Kaber touched Malaki beside him with his hand.
Without looking at him, Maraki said impatiently, "Hey, Kaber, don't complain to me, God is in heaven." ”
"Soldiers always complain to their commanders. You are a sergeant, the deputy squad leader of a platoon! Kaber couldn't help but mutter, shaking his head in frustration.
"Hey, Karber, if it weren't for all the you provoked, how would we have such a training plan? Fighting, molesting women, oh my God, what else will you do? Let the gendarmes send back to the company headquarters? At this time, White behind Maraqi couldn't help but stand up, and the fire in his stomach was about to be released.
"White, did you take the wrong medicine?" Kaber frowned, and said dissatisfiedly at Kaber.
"He's right, Kaber!" Landowan passed by them and said, "I'm for him!" As he spoke, he stretched out his fist and collided with White in support.
Kaber still wanted to say something, but the people had already dispersed, so he couldn't get out of the fire, so he couldn't help but spread his hands angrily and said to the back of the group of people: "Who did I recruit and provoke whom?" ”
Marachi walked around the outside, and when he returned to the barracks, he saw Luz coming back early, lying on the bed, with a cigarette in his mouth, but not lit, staring at the ceiling above. He couldn't help but step forward strangely and said, "Luz, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Ignore me, Malachi!" Luz looked weak.
"Sick?" Malachi looked at him, then lay on the bed as well, his eyes fixed on the ceiling.
"No, Malachi." Lutz lazily replied, "If you come back and lie in bed and look at the ceiling after hearing the news today, you will find that you don't want to do anything, and you don't want to move. ”
Malaki nodded and said, "I agree with you, I feel that way now." ”
"Oh God, it's great that we're finally back in the days of recruits." Lutz Road.
"Reminds you of Takoa?"
"No, no, reminds me of Sauber!"
"Sauber? Oh, no. We don't have Sauber now. He's delivering supplies for us, he's a supply officer. Malachi replied weakly.
"And that's not the worst!" Lutz said, "I now find that I don't have a copper plate on my body, it's really sad, Marachi, do you still have money?" Lend me twenty dollars! ”
"No, Lutz!" Malaki shook his head, "I have a very strange feeling that I suddenly miss life in Paris. Suites with bathrooms, baths in the bathtub, baths with beautiful girls, eats the most delicious steaks and drinks the best French wines. ”
"Well, that's history, if you can win more!" Lutz nodded.
The two men never spoke again. Then another man came in, and then he lay down again with his own strength, until the whole barracks was full of weak soldiers.
"I hate war!" Malaki suddenly said, "But sometimes I like it!" ”
