Chapter 353 Profit

In the Shanks battalion, the brothers of the company were always passers-by. [No pop-up novel network] w book friends whole ~ Li Ti ~ for them are destined to stay here for a long time. Although many people have a good impression of this place, and their living conditions are the best military camp since the brothers' conquest, few people will miss this place. Eventually, they will have to leave, or go home, or find another camp.

"What?" After MacArthur's words came out, Parks couldn't help but say, "Sir, what did you say?" You're going to take over us? This one...... This one...... Maybe ......"

MacArthur was pleased with Parks' look of surprise. He is now the hero of the Americans, the commander who led the American army to the final victory of the Japanese army, no one doubts this, although Parks is also a hero, but he is closer to the civilians, he is just a civilian hero, a hero who obeys the orders of the hero, this is the difference, you can order him

"Yes, Major Parks, I will raise the status and treatment of the assault company, their salaries are higher than that of ordinary soldiers, maybe two, maybe five times, of course, there are other benefits, but the requirements will also be raised, you will be a unique unit unlike any other branch of the military, it is a complete new beginning" MacArthur nodded, looked at Parks with appreciative eyes, "Don't be surprised why, because your commando team has impressed me, You know that my old friend General Wainwright has a lot of respect for you, and I rarely see him do this to a soldier, except for me, of course" He said confidently, and then looked at General Wainwright with a smile, and General Wainwright and General Parker smiled and nodded at Parks at the right time, to be honest, Parks did leave an indelible impression on them, especially his military command skills, and the very reasonable use of the assault company.

"I'm confused, sir." Parks still looked cautious, his tone showed his respect for these generals, but there were still some doubts, "I mean, I was originally part of the 1o1 Airborne Division, I have been fighting in the European theater, but - only recently went to the Pacific Theater of Operations on a mission, I wonder if this relationship is a bit hún1uan, to be honest, this decision is very shocking to me, general, you know, the 1o1 Airborne Division has been disbanded, and I am even ready to retire"

Retire? Everyone choked on Parks' words. General MacArthur's brows furrowed slightly, he hadn't spoken yet, but General Wainwright had spoken first, and he smiled at Parks with a gentle smile, "Retirement? Child, how can you have such an idea? You are a rare talent in the US military and a valuable resource in the military, and you will have a very good future here. Have you thought it through? ”

Seeing that General Wainwright spoke, MacArthur did not speak, but General Wainwright also happened to say what he was going to say just now, and he looked at Parks quietly, wanting to hear if this little man had anything to say. Obviously, if Parks stays in the army, of course he will take care of him in many aspects, and the future is no problem, so he will rush him to save General Wainwright, this is a great favor, not to mention that he does have a talent for military affairs, whether it is Yu Gong or Sī, he will take care of him.

"Yes, General. I have this thought," Parks nodded honestly, "and now the war is over. We've won, haven't we? Didn't I join the Airborne Forces in the summer of 1942 at the Takoya Barracks for this day? My old brothers who came out of Takoya are alive, and they have a right to the peace they fought so hard for, so I think I have that right too, and I'm just- maybe that's all. ”

MacArthur, of course, would not dwell on him on this issue, he just frowned, then looked at him and said, "You are one of the best military men I have ever met, and I hope you can stay in the army." Of course, I know that you may still be nostalgic for your brothers in the Airborne Division, which is understandable. But who do you think will succeed you as the commander of the assault company after you retire? ”

Parks thought for a moment and said, "The platoon commander of the first platoon of the assault company, Captain Haliger, should be a better choice, he is very experienced, and he has made a good profit in this operation. I think it's him, of course it's not up to me."

MacArthur would never have expected to be rejected by Parks, and he rushed over in high spirits, but now he was a little disappointed. He nodded at Parks and said, "Okay, I'll consider your suggestion." Then before that, although I already know that you may choose to retire, I still want to award you a medal, which is a reward for your successful rescue of the Allied soldiers, and you deserve it" MacArthur said and beckoned, and a lieutenant colonel ran over and handed him a delicate box.

MacArthur opened the box, and inside was a Navy Cross of Service for Good Service, which he put on in front of Parks' Xiong, then stretched out his hand, and the two shook it casually.

"I still hope you'll think about it," MacArthur nodded at Parks, "Okay, I should go too, this is the purpose of my visit-medal about retirement, don't rush to answer me, I'll give you time to think about it." MacArthur said and then turned to leave the office without looking back, and Parks hurriedly saluted them.

"I have to say, this is a regret child" General Wainwright walked last, he shook Parks' hand, and then said with some sighs, "I know what you think, but sometimes we can't help it, the disbandment of the 1o1 Airborne Division, I really regret it, those hún eggs in the War Department never think about the emotions of the soldiers, they think that the soldiers are nothing more than killing machines." ”

"What are the hún eggs?" Parks looked at General Wainwright with some surprise, it was rare for a general to criticize the War Office in this way, except for Patton's fiery temper.

"Of course, it's the hún eggs. I'm not wrong," General Wainwright nodded at him again, "and if you decide to come back someday, of course, after you've retired, call me, I don't want the U.S. military to miss out on a good officer." With that, he patted Parks on the shoulder, then nodded and walked out.

Parks watched them leave, he didn't go out to see them off. MacArthur's words made him shake a little, yes, staying in the army, there is definitely a future, but when he thinks of North Korea in the future, his blood gradually cools down. The Korean battlefield was definitely MacArthur's Waterloo, and the countries involved in the Korean War made Parks even more determined to stay.

"The big guys are finally gone" After the generals left, the Welsh captain entered the company, and as soon as he came in, he saw the medal in front of Parkes, and couldn't help laughing, "It seems that this trip has made you gain the Cross, Lacey, I don't know how many more medals you can get, enough for you to hold an exhibition"

Parks looked at his xiong, which was also a cross, and couldn't help but smile. The Welsh captain said with some embarrassment: "The brothers have medals, many of them have silver stars, this time they are very generous, if you want to count points, many of them have already reached the point of retirement." I just don't know what to do with them. ”

"I don't know" Parks shook his head, he really didn't know because the soldiers' salaries had improved. Some of them may not choose to retire because of this. Although they were tired of the war, they were not tired of the troops, and they had to find work when they went back, but it was not easy to find a job with such good pay.

"He's got a pretty hand," Captain Wales shrugged, and it seemed that MacArthur had already thought of this trick.

"Yes, but I don't think it will be long, it's just a stopgap measure" Parks nodded, he knew that the salary of the U.S. special forces could be higher than that of an average Marine Corps soldier, but it would not be five times as far away, "in order to win the hearts of those who are about to disperse" Parks was a little disdainful of this, expediency meant that it was a deception in the future.

"So--tell me your decision," said the Captain of Wales.

"I haven't decided yet. Harry, don't worry, I'll tell you once I decide" Parks patted him on the arm, "Alright, let's go see the brothers, maybe it will make them happy to get the medal"

The brothers were indeed happy, and MacArthur had promised them just now before he left that as long as they remained in the army, they would enjoy five times their original salary, as well as vacation. And MacArthur finally said a few words of incitement: "Guys, the war is over, you used to serve for war, and now you will serve for peace." ”

Serve for peace. Obviously, it is easy to understand that they will not go to war in the future, but they will be able to enjoy five times their salary. Soon the people in the company exploded, no matter what purpose they had applied for to join the assault company before, and whether they were willing to stay now or not, but five times the salary was definitely a huge youhuo.

"God, five times the salary, I don't even know what to say, I think I'm going to have to stay" Karber was the first to express his thoughts, and he said to White, "Don't look at me like that, yes, I said I didn't want to stay, but who can get along with Gao Xin?" Besides, we won't have a war in the future, we won't have shells from the Germans, we won't stay in the damn snow and starve, and most importantly, we won't be shot, so why can't I stay? ”

"Well, I don't want to ask that," White shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "go see Goneri and Toy and Ruz, they all want to stay, for five times the damn salary." ”

"What about you? You have to have a plan, I know you've got enough points," Cabble said, "Listen to General MacArthur, we will be the only troops in the future, we will be the veterans here, we are the oldest members, so we have the right to give orders to future recruits." ”

"If Lacey stays, I'll stay and he'll go, I'll go," White said in a firm tone.

"Well, God bless you," said Caber, turning to go, he was going to go to Goneri and them, they had decided to stay, and they had to enjoy their pleasure.
