Chapter 101: Enjoy
A hotel in Carrington called Baikal has a public bath and hot baths. It was frequented by the brothers of Company E, and it was the only thing that the soldiers could enjoy in the most comfortable way.
"It's like a dream!" Paikanti let the hot water pour down his head, covered his face with his hands, separated the two sides, and let out a long exhale.
Suddenly a "pop" came from the bathroom, and then Paikanti's angry voice was heard: "Hey, Mr. gonorrhea, why are you spanking me?" ”
"I'm just letting you know sure, you're not dreaming, but showering naked [***] under hot water!" Goneri smiled.
"Well done, Goneri!" "It may be a dream for him, but a nightmare for us, and I don't want anyone to mention those things while enjoying them like this." ”
"I can't forget!" Paikanti muttered, "This is my most precious memory, and on the day the war is over, I may say to my son or grandson: Hey, baby, your grandfather broke into the German headquarters alone during the war, and killed a German regiment commander, the colonel!" ”
"And your Luger and the gold watch!" White said, "You can tell your son or grandson too!" ”
"Don't mention Ruger, you gloating guys." Tybert was behind Paikanti, with his back to him, getting dressed, "It's totally unfair, you went to the command and you're on guard. ”
"Don't complain, Tybert, why don't you ask Parks for one? He captured the colonel's Ruger and Browning. I really envy him, Browning, it's really beautiful, it's still American! Paikanti smiled, "Maybe Parks will be gracious and give you a handful!" ”
"I don't want to get it like this, maybe I'll have it next time, Paikanti, it's just luck!" Tybert got dressed and walked out, and saw Lip still waiting outside the door.
"Okay? Guys, you've been in there for a full hour, are you going to wash all your skin off? I haven't arranged a sumptuous dinner for you yet, hurry, hurry! Lip looked at his watch and began to urge loudly.
"Paikanti, don't wash your ass too white, when you fight the Germans, he will be reflective." Tybert shouted into the bathroom, and Lipp couldn't help but laugh.
"He's jealous!" Paikanti said to White, and then began to get dressed as well.
"Yes, yes, I think so too," Huai nodded and smiled, "but no matter what, whatever mission I Parks goes on in the future, I must participate, but no, not my share." It's totally ...... It's a completely new experience and it's exciting! ”
"Yes, it's exciting!" When Landowman got dressed and walked past them, he said, "I like it, maybe next time there is something like this, I will be more proactive!" ”
"Me too!" Paikanti nodded, agreeing with the remark.
The dinner was indeed sumptuous, for the guys who have been nibbling on the K-ration for the past few days. The aroma of beef barbecue makes these guys can't help but wave their knives and forks to gobble up.
"Slow down, guys, no one is competing with you, if it's not enough, we still have some, and there's no problem supplying you!" Li Pu smiled and watched them scrambling to swallow food, and couldn't help but say.
"How can those guys in the Army Logistics Department be willing to come up with such a good thing?" Leegaut was trying to swallow a piece of beef that hadn't been chewed very badly as he laughed, "Should we kill the German commander for us?" ”
"Yes, yes, you killed the head of a German regiment." Li Pu shook his head a little helplessly and smiled, "I've heard this sentence no less than ten times. But the people from the Army Logistics Department are not going to get you beef because of this, they only have the K-ration. These are what our brothers left for you, and we brought them ourselves. ”
"Got it yourself?" Sifudi looked at Lipu.
Lip nodded and smiled, "Hubl shot a cow near Carrington, and then we had beef. It's that simple! ”
Everyone had a look of abrupt realization.
"This time, though, you're really good." Lip nodded at them, "I guess Colonel Zinke will apply for a medal for you, the action is perfect!" ”
"Perfect?" Gordon didn't say, "No, it's not perfect. If Duke could be here tonight and enjoy delicious beef with us, it would be perfect! ”
Everyone was stunned, and then everyone fell silent.
Yes, how can there be a flaw in a perfect action? All the members of the team who participated in the operation felt a little guilty in their hearts, Durkmann's war career was over, and I don't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
Parks followed Winters to the hotel where they had been staying, which Winters had set up as company headquarters.
"Oh, Parks!" When Parks walked into the room, Nickerson had already greeted him, gave him a hug, and then pulled him to the table and said, holding a glass of wine and handing it over, "This is for heroes, come out of Winters, one of us each, Wales is yours!" Cheers! ”
The three of them "ding", touched the cups together, and drank them all. Parks clicked his mouth, lowered his glass, and found a comfortable chair to sit in. Nickerson filled the cup again.
"You've given me the biggest surprise yet, Parks!" Nickerson smiled at Parks, then handed over the full glass, "Actually, it's Winters who has the most confidence in you, I really don't know where he got that confidence." ”
Parks looked at Winters. Winters shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "I always have the best idea for the worst-case scenario. ”
Nickerson nodded and smiled, "Well, that's your style, like you can always prepare for the worst in the best case." ”
"But there's always something unexpected. Isn't it? Winters said with a slight smile at Parks.
Wales muttered, "Imagine the worst in the worst and plan for the worst in the best." Well, I like this sentence, are you a follower of Hegel or an admirer of Nietzsche? Why don't I see these two sentences in their writings? Did you invent it yourself? ”
Winters laughed, "Yes, what's the problem?" ”
"You can be a philosopher!" Wales raised his glass to Winters and said solemnly, "I'm a firm believer in that." But philosophers generally drink alcohol, which is regrettable. ”
"Parks, listen to the team members, you also killed the German colonel Captain Haight?" Wales looked at Parks, and then said with an envious expression, "Colonel Zink must be overjoyed!" ”
"Just luck!" Parks nodded.
"Wow-" Nickerson exclaimed, having just heard the news, and raised his glass at Parks, "We're going to have to make this one more for this, Parks!" As he spoke, he drank it all.
Watching Parks dry the glass, he seemed unsatisfied: "What a perfect move!" ”
Parks was suddenly silent, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "No, Nick, this operation was not perfect, two of the prisoners of war we rescued died, and ...... Durkman's leg was blown off. ”
"Durkman?" Parks nodded, then stood up and patted Parks on the shoulder, "Don't take it personally, it's not your fault, you've done your best." Every brother is still alive, that's the most important thing. This demerit you have achieved is not bad news for Durkman! ”
"Yes!" Parks nodded, "We're so proud of him!" ”
"We are proud of you, too!" Wales raised his glass at this time, looked at Parks, and said this very seriously.
"I'm proud to be in e-Company!" Parks raised his glass as well.
"Oh-God!" Nickerson couldn't help but shake his head and said, "I'm proud of Colonel Zinke, and I'm proud of our great 101st Airborne Division." And proud of General Taylor! "So it's because we're so proud of him that they're sending us to this damn battlefield to fight the Germans!" ”
All four of them couldn't help but laugh. Then the cups touch together.
"Do you want beef?" At this time, Winters somewhere got a large plate of roast beef, apparently roasted, hot and fragrant, and placed on the table.
"Did you rob a nearby farmstead?" Parks screamed in surprise. Beef is indeed a very luxurious thing for the 101st Division, which is now having some difficulty in supplying.
"It was the Hubler boys who did it, and they shot a nearby cow. God knows where that cow came from, maybe it was a gift from God to make the Army Logistics guys die of shame! Wales laughed, "Okay, where do I go with the knife?" This makes it difficult! ”
"I'm good at this!" Parks swallowed, then pulled out a dagger, cut it off, picked it with the tip of the knife, and put it in his mouth, nodding his head non-stop, "It tastes so good!" ”
Wales also took out a dagger and scratched it, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
"What a bunch of savages!" Nickerson shook his head, then fetched a plate and a fork and handed it to Parks and Wales, "Looks like I'm going to have to teach you a lesson in civility!" ”
Hungry indeed, Parks devoured it, while Wales and Nickerson only tasted it, and Winters didn't move at all. The three of them smiled as Parks ate an entire plate of beef.
"It's unforgettable, it's the most enjoyable I've ever eaten!" Parks burped, looked at the three of them, and said with some embarrassment, "I'...... Is it eating too fast? ”
