Chapter Twenty-Three: Farewell

"Congratulations!" In the barracks, White stretched out his hand to Parks, who was packing his luggage, and shook it, "I can't believe we're going to separate now, but it's really a very good opportunity, isn't it?" ”

"Thank you, White, don't worry, I'll be back, even if it's only thirty days." Parks smiled, he didn't want to be so sentimental. But to be honest, once you want to leave these brothers who accompany you every night, you are always a little reluctant.

"After hearing this, you'll be rescheduled, and if I'm right, you'll definitely be promoted." Caber sighed, "Parks, you're really out of shit luck. Will you remember us afterward? ”

"Shut up, Kaber!" Thipp said, "Parks won't leave his brothers. Is it? The next question was addressed to Parks, but he couldn't say for sure, but that's what he thought in his heart.

Parks spread his hands, a little helpless: "Anyway, I'll try to ask for it back, you know, I have feelings for E Company, and I won't leave E Company without firing a shot." Brothers, don't forget, we're going to Europe, and Hitler's mustache is still waiting for us to clean up. ”

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was a little warmer.

"Parks, say goodbye to the other brothers!" George Lutz said on the side, "Actually, I don't miss you at all, don't I see you for a month?" Maybe when we jumped off the plane, we landed and hit Parks in the head. ”

The crowd laughed again. Parks listened to Lutz, and went from barracks to barracks to say goodbye to his brothers.

"Parks, you still owe me money. You've done us miserable. Buck was the fiercest of the screamers, and he was haunted by that loss to Parks, "If you don't come back, who am I going to collect the bill?" ”

"Come on, Buck, you're not as good as anyone else!" Goneri smiled, then stepped forward and hugged Parks, "Congratulations, Parks, you deserve it." ”

Parks nodded and smiled, "Yes, it makes some sense to me, but if I had to choose, I would still like to be with my brothers." Then he lowered his voice and said, "You know, I've been staying in the United States since I was so old, and it won't be long before we can go to Europe for free, and what could be better?" ”

"Come on, Parks. You deserve it, and we're all happy for you! Tybert exclaimed, "Do you know where you're going this time?" Washington? Or Chicago? ”

"Washington and New York."

"Wow, that's a great place!" Someone screamed.

"Of course, the girls in New York are very generous, hey, Parks, don't lose your way back! Don't forget to go home! Buck laughed, "New York is a lost city, but I love it!" ”

"Buck, it seems that you have indeed charmed many girls!" Someone shouted at Buck.

Parks laughed, "Okay guys, I have to say goodbye, and a few brothers in the barracks, I have to say goodbye to them as well." Parks stood up and straightened his uniform, "I'll be back." ”

I will be back. It's easy to say, but Parks knows it's not easy to do. After saying goodbye to his brothers, he felt that he should say a word to Lieutenant Winster.

"Parks?" Nickerson opened the barracks door and couldn't help but be stunned, "Say goodbye to us?" ”

Parks saluted, then nodded, "Yes, sir!" ”

Winster walked over with a smile, stretched out his hand to Parks, and shook it vigorously, "Congratulations, Parks!" ”

Parks nodded, then said to Winster, "Lieutenant, you know, I don't want to leave my brothers. ”

"I know!" Winster nodded, then looked at Parks and motioned for him to continue.

"Colonel Sink said that he would ask the division headquarters for the reassignment of my rights if I wanted to." Parks took a deep breath, then looked at Winster firmly, "I don't want to be assigned to other units, or leave E Company, you know, I joined E Company to become an Airborne Force, but now I haven't become an Airborne Force at all. ”

"Do you need me to do anything for you?" Winster understood a little, and a smile came to his lips. To be honest, it would be a shame if Parks left like this.

"If I could, I would like to stay in E-Company after the public debt publicity is over." Parks Road.

Winster thought for a moment, then nodded, "I'll help you relay it to Colonel Zink." Rest assured! ”

"But you've got to think about it!" At this time, Lieutenant Nickerson spoke, his glass in his hand, "Not all of them will be able to return to their original units as they wish. And your publicity this time will definitely be linked to your position. Maybe when you get back, we'll have to call you second lieutenant. ”

"If you are promoted, then you will be transferred to another company in the Dao instead of the E company you requested." Winster added.

"Of course, this is just my speculation." Nickerson smiled, "If you're going back to your original unit, then you won't be able to wait for a promotion, and it's up to you how you choose." ”

Parks smiled and said, "I know how I'm going to choose. Sir! ”

"Well, congratulations again!" Nickerson and Parks shook hands.

Winster saluted Parks before shaking his hand: "Good job!" Then he patted him on the shoulder, "I'm looking forward to your return here." ”

Early the next morning, Parks packed his bags. Winster came in a military jeep on purpose.

"Parks, I'll send you!" He stood aside and waited for Parks to say goodbye to his brothers, then said to him.

"Thank you, Lieutenant!" Parks smiled gratefully.

The jeep puffed up a puff of smoke and disappeared into its makeshift barracks in Atlanta.

"Parks is gone! It's a bit reluctant! White said with a gloomy expression.

"Don't overthink it, White!" Tebo said, "Don't worry, he'll be back." He's our brother, isn't he? No matter where you go, yes. ”

"Parks is a good guy!" David Landauman said, "Go back! ”

"Oh, of course he's a good man, but why didn't he go?" "I'd rather leave Sauber and let him go to the better scenery than Parks leave." But there's no way around it. Brothers, tomorrow we will leave for Fort Benning, which is one step closer to becoming paratroopers. ”

"yes, I wish I had gone sooner so I could get my Silver Wing badge sooner!" Warren Mook said on the sidelines.

"Silver Wing badges? I like it! Luz said happily.

"Alright, it's here!" Winster sent Parks into the station, "I'll get you here." I need to go back to camp! ”

"Thank you, Lieutenant!" Parks Road.

Winsette nodded, started the car, and sped off on the way back.

Did you really just leave like that? Parks looked at the smaller and smaller shadow of Winster's departure, and his mood was a little gloomy. At this time, the whistle was already blowing, and the conductor kept urging the passengers to get on the train.

"Are you sure you want to take the train?" The conductor looked at Parks, who was in a daze.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'll go up!" Parks climbed onto the train and sat down against the window. The train began to move slowly forward after a clang.

Atlanta's train station, outside of the ever-faster trains, appears smaller and smaller. Lonely there, in the cold air, a little bleak.

Parks glanced back at it nostalgically, then turned back. At this time, two young conductors came over, looked at Parks, and said to him very respectfully, "Excuse me, are you Les Parks himself?" ”

Parks looked at them, then smiled, "Yes, excuse me, is there anything I can help?" ”

"Great!" The two laughed happily, "We are the conductors of this train!" ”

"I see!" Parks smiled.

"Excuse me, can we take a picture with you?" One of the conductors looked at Parks expectantly.

"Absolutely!" Parks shrugged, looking indifferent.

"Great!" One of the conductors suddenly took out a camera from behind his back and looked at the passenger across from Parks, "Miss, can you take a picture for us?" Please! ”

Parks looked across from him, and then he noticed that there was a girl sitting across from him, a pretty one. With a hint of a smile in her blue eyes and a suitable long tweed dress, she looked noble and elegant.

"Absolutely!" The girl smiled slightly, took the conductor's camera, and glanced at Parks, "Why not?" ”
