Chapter 41: Contradictions intensify

On 30 October, Lieutenant Colonel Stryer sent an order to Captain Sauber to prepare for an inspection of Company E at 11 o'clock. Sauber generally attaches great importance to the orders of his superiors, and it is the first inspection of Dao Company since the last time Striele was angry with him.

"Striele is coming to inspect?" Parks got the news because Compton told him. The two were meeting in the dining room and Compton was laughing at Private Joakim? Merlot.

"He's unlucky, Winters was going to let Goneri clean the military toilets, but who knew that this blind man would speak ill of Sauber in the barracks, and he didn't even know that Sober was standing behind him." Compton laughed, "You don't even know the expressions of the other brothers in the barracks at that time, it's just funny!" ”

Parks smiled wryly and shook his head, "It's not funny at all, Buck!" He knew that after this time, there would be one of the worst clashes between the officers in Company E, and a mutiny among the non-commissioned officers.

"Well, well, I didn't know you were such a serious person!" It's clear that Compton is still basking in the gloating of the hapless Merlot.

Things really went on according to the plot. This was to be expected. Even if the plot has changed, the conflict between the two of them is determined by the surname, even if it deviates from the track this time, then next time there will be another thing that causes such a thing to happen, and the surname determines the fate of Sauber.

In the afternoon, Captain Sauber found Parkes. Parks knew he couldn't escape.

"Give this to Lieutenant Winters." Sauber handed a printed document to Parks, "You have to find someone else and give it to him yourself, you know?" ”

"Yes, sir!" Parks had no choice but to pick it up and drive to Winters' barracks.

The note read:

Subject matter: Punishment under Wartime Ordinance 104

To: Richard? Lieutenant Winters

You must sign below whether you are willing to be punished in accordance with the wartime ordinance or to be tried by a court-martialed for not going to inspect the latrines at 9.45 p.m., as I have instructed.

Commander of Company E: Herb? Captain Sauber.

"Damn it!" Parks scolded secretly, but there is no way, it should come sooner or later, in this case, it is not said that through this mutiny, it will be possible to drive Sober away as soon as possible, in this case, even if he is demoted, it doesn't matter, after all, he can't let Sauber bury all the people in the company. I believe that there are many people who think the same way as themselves.

Winters was outside the barracks, and the bull and a few brothers were shooting under improvised baskets. Winters and Nickerson looked at them with a smile as they leaned against the low wall, and the two whispered something.

Parks stepped forward: "Lieutenant Winters! He screamed, and saluted Winters and Nickerson.

"Parks!" Winters returned the salute and smiled, "Is there something going on?" Staff sergeant. Because Parks looked more formal, Winters referred to him by his rank, but he preferred to call him Parks.

"This is Captain Sauber's signature!" He handed the note over, and then said with some seriousness, "Lieutenant, it seems that some things are unavoidable. ”

Winters opened the note, and his face changed slightly.

Nickerson next to him leaned over, looked at the contents of the note, and couldn't help but whisper: "My God, it looks like a military court is going to be tried." Then he cursed in a low voice, "Captain Sauber seems to have kicked the donkey in his brain, and he actually came to trouble you in this way." ”

"Well, I guess it's a little easier to be punished than to go to court." Winters smiled bitterly, then said to Parks, "Parks, don't tell your brothers about this matter yet, I'll take care of it." ”

It seems that things are not going as planned, and this time Winters has to compromise and accept the punishment of wartime regulations, rather than being willing to go to court-martial.

Parks couldn't help but be stunned, if Winters retreated at this time, then now the time was close to D, and Sauber continued to serve as the company commander, and it was likely that he would not be shot down by the Germans again, and thus would be buried by his brothers on the battlefield.

"Sir......" Parks hesitated, "I think...... Some words ......"

Winters saw that Parks was a little stumbling, so he said, "Parks, if you have anything to say, just say it." I'd like to hear from you as well. ”

"That's what I thought!" Pars cleared his throat and coughed dryly, "Now many of the brothers in the company are thinking that if Captain Sauber leads Company E to the battlefield, he will definitely kill everyone. ”

"What do you mean?" Nickerson suddenly interjected.

"Instead of compromise, it is better to fight!" Parks plucked up the courage to say this. Because of this incident, Winters did take the lead, and Sauber's actions had damaged the image of an officer.

Nickerson nodded approvingly, and was about to speak, but heard Winters cough dryly, and then said solemnly, "Sergeant Parkes!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Parks busy.

"As a staff sergeant major of a company, you shouldn't say such things." The expression on Winters' face looked serious, "You should remember your duty, and now the brothers need to rely on you to unite, and not give advice to the officers here on how to get along with them." I think you'd better sit on the sidelines and be yourself! ”

"Yes, Lieutenant!" Parks nodded.

"Alright, take a break, Sergeant, your mission is done!" Winters' expression was still so serious, and his tone of voice was even a little cold and stiff.

"Yes, Lieutenant. Goodbye Lieutenant! Parks saluted the two before turning to leave.

Nickerson looked at Parks and turned around, and couldn't help but smile bitterly at Winters: "Dick, I think what Parks said is right, you can't blindly back down, at this critical time, you have to stand up, if you can't give the brothers of E-Link, I'm afraid there will be more people who think like Parks." Maybe one day, Sober will be killed by his own brothers. ”

Winters' tense face suddenly relaxed, and he smiled, "Yes, but I don't want Parks to be involved, he's a good soldier, and I once presented him with a recommendation to send him to the Reserve Officer School." But it stands to reason that there should be a reply, but why hasn't there been any movement so far? ”

"Yes, he's a good soldier!" Nickerson nodded, then glanced at Winters, smiled, and said, "Looks like you've already made up your mind!" ”

When Parks left, the bull threw the basketball over.

"Hey, Parks, why don't you vote us one?" The big bull shouted, and the rest of the people coaxed.

Parks caught the basketball lightly, and then about four or five meters now, he raised his hand to shoot. With a "snap", the basketball hit the board into the frame.

"That's shooting, guys, learn hard!" Parks smiled, then hopped into the car and sped off. Leaving Da Niu and a group of people there dumbfounded.

Things turned out just as Parks had predicted. Lieutenant Winters signed a request to be brought to court for trial. This was not expected by Captain Sauber. After all, in Sauber's impression, he knew that Winters was a more patient person, and he did not hesitate to carry out his orders.

The final result, as in the plot, was transferred to the battalion headquarters as a catering officer. This was Strieter's decision, and he had long discussed it with Major Horton of the 2nd Battalion and the other officers and had come to the conclusion that they had not brought Winters to court-martialed for the sake of the greater interests of Company E.

The evolution of this incident eventually became fully known. The brothers were not surprised by the final showdown between Winters and Sauber, but the result of such a treatment did make the brothers of the whole company a little resentful. Although Winters was dissatisfied with this matter, he had no choice but to obey orders, which is the quality of a good officer.

"I can't believe it!" When White and Parks talk about it, they can't help but complain, "Why let the good people suffer while the demons continue to be triumphant?" Is this our regimental headquarters? ”

"Don't talk about useless ones." Parks was calm at this point, and he waited for the sergeants to make further moves. He was also prepared for the worst, and if there were no sergeants to gather to resist, then it was up to him to gather them.

"I don't want to go into battle with Sauber!" This is the fifth time that Caber has said such a thing, and he has complained to Sauber the most in the company, "He's going to kill us all!" ”

At this time, Goneri suddenly broke into Parks' barracks and saw him: "Hey, Parks, Lanny and Harris want to talk to you, right?" ”

It's finally coming! Parks suddenly smiled slightly, then nodded, "Got it, I'll go right away!" ”
