Chapter 348: Temptation

Perhaps Chairman Chiang Kai-shek was just to put on a political show and show goodwill to the Americans, of course, this is understandable, and perhaps the incident itself did not leave any impression in Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's heart, but for Parks, he felt more complicated. 【Full text reading】Novel*Ad-free~~Net Collection~Top*Point*Book CityBut no matter what, what he wants most now is to go back, from Takoa in the United States, to fight in Europe, and he has experienced a lot. From the troubles of the black swan company commander Sauber to the parachute in Normandy, from the operation of the market to the Battle of Bastogne, from the concentration camp to Hitler's eagle's nest, from the training camp under the Alps to the sea to China, all this suddenly seemed like a dream.

An American hospital ship moored in the harbor set sail slowly under the protection of two frigates, and the wind of the sea blew all the American GIs standing on the side of the ship, those who had been imprisoned in China for three years, they dreamed that they would have such a day, but when this day came, many people cried with joy, and some people looked at the sea and the land in silence, and were speechless for a long time, they finally left and sailed in the direction of their home.

"Harry, you can marry Betty this time, well, what is the wedding you're looking forward to?" Major Parkes, who was on the deck of the ship, saw the Welsh Captain lying in the sun and the sea breeze, walked over and sat down on a chair beside him.

"Lacey?" The Welsh Captain with his eyes closed opened his eyes, then squinted and smiled, "I actually didn't think much about it, it's very satisfying to have my parents and friends to participate, of course, it would be even better if you still had Dick and Nick to participate, this time when I went back, the first thing I did was to marry Betty, there is nothing more important than this"

"I think so," Parks smiled and nodded, and then lay down in a very comfortable position, the sea breeze had some fishy smell, but because it was on the way home, everyone felt that it was the most pleasant wind.

"Will you come? Lacey," Welsh asked, turning his head sideways.

"Of course, if you don't invite me, I'll go too, I'd love to see you flustered." Parks closed his eyes and smiled slightly, "You know, from Takoya to now, I haven't seen what you're like when you're flustered, maybe you don't have it at all." But a man who is a groom for the first time will. That means the loss of freedom, it means the end of the single life, and every man who wants to end the single life and is imprisoned by marriage will panic"

Wales couldn't help but smile, then opened his eyes and looked at the sea in front of him, the blue sea was thin bo1ang, and the seagulls flew by the ship from time to time when they murmured, and suddenly let out a long breath: "The days without war are really wonderful, I swear, if there is another war, I would rather stay at home than join the army."

"That's what I thought, but—" Parks hesitated, then sighed, "sometimes there's a time when I can't help myself. Don't talk about that, Harry, I'm still wondering where I'm going to get a job if the war is over."

"You don't care about the brothers of this company anymore?" Wales suddenly said to Parks, "Don't tell me, after this time, you're ready to retire." After saying that, he shook his head, shrugged his shoulders, and stopped talking

"I don't know, I don't know what to choose," Parks looked at the brothers in the three or two companies who were on the deck from time to time, chatting and joking from time to time, "They are the most valuable resources in the army, someone has to guide them, let them stay, or lead them." But--I really don't know, Harry, I'm suddenly a little tired of war" was Parks's truth, and during his time in China, especially in Chinking, he felt this very strongly, and I don't know if it was the feeling that came to his heart when he saw his homeland or the feeling that his homeland was about to face a civil war, and that countless people were killed and wounded.

The Welsh captain also nodded with the same feeling: "Yes, Lacey, I am also tired of war, officers like you and me are tired of war, so as brothers of soldiers, will they not be tired of war?" Maybe you're right, the brothers are a precious resource for the army, but they are tired of war and need someone to guide them"

Of course, the exclamation of the two people did not affect the decision-making of the upper echelons, but it represented the mood of many American GIs here. Because they are home, because they can be away from the battlefield, everyone's hearts are very excited, for them - the damned war is over, and it is time to go home and enjoy peace

"We're going home" Goneri clapped his hands, and then sat in the dining room of the hospital ship, he had already drunk a lot, there were beer bottles scattered all around, there was no more war in this world, the Japanese surrendered, "goodbye, damn war, goodbye, damn the Japanese, no, and the Germans" He was a little dizzy, and what he said also seemed a little Ling1uan,

Caber tilted his head, fell headlong under the table, and pulled the table down, and ripped off the unfinished wine bottle on the table, and there was a loud noise, and he was already drunk unconscious. After the war, on his way home, he drenched himself unconscious.

"No damn orders, no damned Germans shelling, no damn Japanese wow wow 1uan screams, the world is quiet God, this is my happiest time, I need wine, why is there no wine at this time? Where is the wine? Paikanti staggered over from another table to Goneri.

"Liquor here, buddy," Toy said, carrying a bottle and swaying to fill it for Pai Kandy, "these drunks, they don't know what they're talking about. You know? We're going home, and we're talking about the damn war, these hún bastards," he said, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The whole restaurant was like this, full of drunk American GIs, so much so that the waiters and cooks frowned and muttered, "These damn American GIs, this is going to turn the restaurant upside down" but they couldn't stop these GIs, because they were now heroes, waiting to go back and receive awards and medals, and they had to be interviewed, and they would be known to them by the media, and they would be famous all over the country.

"These lucky hún eggs" After the waiter offered the drunks a case of beer again, he finally couldn't help but curse in a low voice, obviously he was annoyed by these people.

"No, you're the lucky hún egg, you don't have to go to the battlefield, you don't have to listen to the sound of cannons and machine guns, you don't have to listen to the desperate screams of your friends and brothers when they are injured or killed, damn it, you're such a lucky hún egg, you hún egg who doesn't have to go to the battlefield for a day" Suddenly the waiter was grabbed by the collar with one hand, it was Captain Haliger, he stared angrily at the waiter who was grabbed by himself, stared at him deadly and said, "You should apologize for your words, Xiaozi" It was clear that even Halig was furious, his words were too much

"I'm sorry, sir," the waiter was startled, and he muttered and whispered an apology.

"Louder, you," said Haliger, raising his voice again, and it was evident that his cry had drawn the sober or drunken brethren towards him.

This frightened the waiter, he only felt trembling all over, he closed his eyes in fear, and then finally couldn't bear the pressure, and shouted loudly: "I'm sorry, sir, I'm a hún egg" As soon as his words fell, everyone burst into laughter.

"Alright, lucky hún, you should go and fetch beer for your brothers," Halig laughed as well, and spared the poor waiter. This is the price he paid for saying the wrong thing.

"To the end of the damn war, guys, let's have a toast," Halig stood on a stool, making himself taller, and shouted loudly as he raised the beer bottle in his hand.

"Cheers" Immediately under him was the roaring response of the brothers, and then the crisp sound of wine bottles colliding with each other, for the brothers, this is the most beautiful sound in the world. They can finally enjoy peace, which many people can no longer enjoy, and they have left their bodies forever on the continent of Europe.

After two days of sailing, the fleet and the USS Yorktown converged, and then the carrier fleet received an order to escort the captured personnel and the assault company personnel back to the United States. The company's latest order was to stay at Shanks' Battalion, 3o kilometers away from New York, and wait for further orders.

"Mr. Major, Admiral John wants to see you," a Navy lieutenant met with Parks, and then explained to him his intentions. General John is the supreme commander of the USS Yorktown, and has a relationship with Parks.

"Of course, I'll be over right away in a moment," said Parks, who was in his separate bedroom, nodding to the major, then watching him go out and shut up Mén, smiling at the Welsh Captain in his bedroom, "He's an old friend of mine, maybe I'll ask him to allow us to drink more good wine in his fleet." The navy is a group of thugs, and they have so many delicious food and wine that they don't take for nothing."

"I like the latter sentence," the Captain of Wales smirked at him, "they're mobs, and we're all drunks."

Parks met Rear Admiral John in his office, a large office on the aircraft carrier, luxuriously decorated, almost like a villa room, and then you could see the sea. It's like a vacation by the sea.

"Hello, old friend" Major General John and Parks shook hands tightly, "I knew we were going to meet last year, last time it was a bit rushed, because you have a mission, I don't want to go around your mind, now - the war is over, we should have a good chat, as two friends"

"Why not," Parks smiled, and then sat down at John's motion. John poured two glasses of wine, handed one to Parks, sat down beside him and said, "Every time I see you, it always surprises me, last time because of your battle at Arnhem Bridge, this time it was a rescue operation, you are truly one of the most gifted officers I have ever met"

Parks smiled noncommittally, he just listened to other people's compliments, and didn't take them to heart. He has always had a question in his mind, that is, his 1o1 airborne division does not know what will happen, will it really be like in history? Thinking of this, his interest in talking was not very strong, and even a little perfunctory.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that Parks' mood was indeed not too high, Major General John couldn't help but ask.

Parks didn't know if Major General John would know about the decisions of the top ranks, but he couldn't help but ask, "Actually, there's always been a problem bothering me, General. I'm a member of the 1o1 Airborne Division, and I don't know what my fate will be when I return home this time, but I would say that only in the 1o1 Airborne Division can I find the kind that has a strong sense of belonging."
