Chapter 34: Emotions

Winster was a very detail-oriented person, especially during military operations. This is one of the reasons for his future success. Parks knew what Winster's words meant. And he has the same idea as him, to protect the lives of his brothers to the greatest extent, what could be more important than this?

The failure of this exercise hung like a dark cloud over the heads of the brothers of Company E. And the brothers' dislike and hatred of Captain Sauber has developed into today's distrust, which can be said to be a major change in the brothers' attitude towards Sauber. So much so that many times, the discussions in the barracks revolved around him. After all, with the continuous escalation of training, as well as some wind direction conversations at the regimental headquarters, the brothers knew that they would eventually appear on the battlefield in Europe, and there was no doubt about that.

"I don't want to go to Europe with such a commander." Goneri was one of the most fiercely reflexed, and he was a little arrogant, and he was extremely disgusted with Sauber, "Such a commander will only make us lose our fighting spirit, and even give us to the Germans as prisoners, or simply let the German devils kill us directly!" ”

"I want to pray to the Virgin Mary!" At this time, Warren Muck muttered, "I wish he had been hit by the Germans as soon as we jumped out of the cabin when we entered Europe, so that we would have saved our bullets." ”

"Honestly, I really want to kill this guy! Maybe one day when I'm impulsive, I'll do it! Even Brother Xifu, who doesn't usually talk much, couldn't help but open his mouth.

There are not a few people who think the same way as these brothers, even though Parks has talked to them before, but because of the loss of his patience for Sauber, the brothers' mood is a little restless and low. And this mood of restlessness and depression, Winster obviously noticed. Although at this time, some people in E Company were promoted, such as Harris and Lenny were promoted to sergeants, and Nickerson and Hearst were transferred to the battalion headquarters as staff officers, but the brothers were still not in a high mood. At this time, another officer fell to Company E, Second Lieutenant Harry Welsh.

"What are you going to do?" In the barracks, Nickerson shook his head at Winster, "I don't even know what to say to my brothers, even if I do it and help Sauber, but he will definitely not appreciate it, and maybe he will make you surprise you." ”

Winster said helplessly: "What else can I do?" Keep training them. At the very least, I want to make sure that the officers at the platoon level perform well to minimize our losses in the future, and we also use them to boost morale. Then he shrugged, "That's the maximum I can do." ”

"How's Parks?" Nickerson suddenly said something to Winster.

Winster was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Nickerson couldn't help but laugh and said, "You asked knowingly." Aren't you going to recommend him to the Alternate Officer Academy? Why is there no news? Or maybe Sauber hasn't passed yet? ”

"That's a good question!" Winster smiled, "Although Sauber is a little uncomfortable, at least he doesn't have the courage to fight the regimental headquarters. My report was sent directly to Colonel Zinke. I believe that the results will come down soon. And Colonel Sink wanted Parks to stay in the 506th Regiment after graduation. As for whether it's in E-Link or not, then it's not up to me to call the shots. ”

Nickerson looked at Winster seriously: "Dick, it seems that I still don't know you very well, I didn't expect someone like you to come up with such a method." ”

"It just means you're ignoring me!" Winster smiled. It was a report he had written after the last military exercise, and it had been presented directly to Major Horton, who then forwarded it to Colonel Zinke. He knew it wasn't in order, but he cherished a talent like Parks, and a very good commander was the most rare treasure of E Company.

While the two were talking, a man walked in, looked at the two and said, "I'm disturbing you?" ”

It was Harry Wales, his expression a little hesitant.

Nickerson and Winster nodded to him. Winster hurriedly said, "No! Then he introduced the two to each other: "Louis Nickerson, this is Harry Welsh, a second lieutenant who has just been transferred from the 82nd Division. ”

Harry smiled and stepped forward and shook Nickson's hand, "Congratulations on your promotion!" ”

Nickerson smiled, "Thank you, if that's a promotion!" "Of course, there is no promotion in the ranks, but from the company headquarters to the battalion headquarters, it can be regarded as a jump. However, he finally got rid of Captain Sauber, which is a relatively good thing for Nickerson, and in any case, Nickers is in a good mood.

"You'll soon find out that he's a man with no flaws, no quirks, no sense of humor!" Nickerson joked, "He doesn't even drink, I don't know how I can tolerate him until now, but luckily I'm going to the camp and you just happened to be here!" ”

"Just like those friends you had at the battalion headquarters!" Winster suddenly added. The two couldn't help but smile.

"What's the matter? Harry! Nickerson smiled at Harry.

Harry seemed hesitant, but he said it anyway, "I hear a lot of right and wrong. ”

"About Sauber?" Nickerson laughed, "We just happened to be talking about this!" ”

Harry coughed dryly, then asked, "He's a little nervous in the field?" ”

Nickerson nodded approvingly: "Yes, as soon as he is nervous, you will die!" ”

"That's great!" Harry replied and smiled helplessly.

Winster looked at Nexon, then at Harry, walked over to the two and nodded, "Yes, that's a problem. Well, if we're going to talk about it, that's just within our scope. Then he looked at Harry, "The brothers aren't in a mood very stable right now. It's up to us to stabilize the morale of the military, Harry, you know how! ”

"Yes, no problem!" Nickerson and Harry nodded in unison.

The three of them were talking, when suddenly the door of the barracks was pushed open with a loud bang, and Captain Sauber appeared in the doorway, holding an apple in his hand, already taking a bite, and still chewing in his mouth. Then he looked at the three people in front of him, with a strong doubt in his eyes. His eyes swept over the three men who were standing upright.

After chewing the apple in his mouth and swallowing it, Sauber spoke: "Is the second row ready?" ”

"Ready! Sir! Winster said calmly.

"Tell them to form a team, we're leaving!"

"Yes, sir!" Winster and Harry walked out.

Sauber looked at Nixon, who was standing upright and smiling at the corners of his mouth, frowned, and then took a bite of the apple before walking away.

At the end of May, Company E packed up its backpack and, along with the other companies of the 506th Regiment, took a stop-and-go train to Sturgis, Kentucky. They will conduct a military exercise in Kentucky, Tennessee and Indiana from early June to mid-July. It was the largest joint airborne exercise of paratroopers and glider-based units to date. Although this is not yet a war, it is the closest to actual combat arrangements that the Army can make.

In the station. At the station, the girls of the Red Cross brought them coffee and fried doughnuts.

"You should admit it, he didn't have a chance. Either he was killed by the Germans, or he did it himself. Several people were sitting on the grass next to the station.

"Shut up, Kaber!" Joe Toy Dao.

"Who do you say? Sauber? Then a voice came from the side, it was Joe Legot, and he leaned in, "He messed up a drill, you know I often play with grenades, and it's easy to blow one up if you accidentally blow it up." ”

"But there must be a reason why they put him in charge!" Xifudi was unwilling.

Li Gaot smiled and said, "Because the army never makes mistakes, right?" Sifudi! ”

This kind of thing Parks knew he couldn't meddle in, and his grudge against Sauber didn't form in a day or two, and it couldn't be solved by his own words. It may be able to appease for a while, but it can't convince the brothers for a long time. If you talk too much, you may be disgusted by your brothers.

He can only interrupt and try to disperse these emotions and prevent them from fermenting together.

"Hey, you guys, do you want doughnuts?" Parks yelled at the two of them, "The girl with the dough over there is really good-looking. ”

Sure enough, they got the idea. Caber stood up first and smiled at Parks, "I knew you, Parks. There's such a good thing, why didn't you tell me earlier? He patted the ash off his ass and walked over the other side.

"Legot, there's an oversized breasted one over there, isn't that your favorite? Think of the feeling of eating fried dough with your head in the middle! It must be good! Parks looked at Legotte and smiled.

"Oh, get rid of it, I'm thinking about fried doughnuts now, not oversized breasts!" "Okay, my girl left it to you, but I kept the fried dough!" ”

A few of the surrounding people dispersed, leaving only Sifudi. Parks walked over, sat down next to him, looked at him seriously, and said, "Brother Xifu, don't do stupid things, this kind of thing is okay, but it's not worth doing!" ”

"What do you know?" Sifudi looked at Parks, then suddenly understood, then nodded and smiled, "I know how to do it!" ”
