Paikanti lost all his money, and then he gritted his teeth to vent his anger on the Germans, although it was still some time before they were airborne, and now it seemed that he was a little impatient.

"Are you impatient?" Suddenly, a voice came from behind Paikanti, and he turned to see that it was Parks.

Paikanti hurriedly saluted, "No, sir, I'm just complaining about damn luck!" ”

"Don't complain about luck, think about our parachutes and do what you have to do. You behave more like a veteran who plays an exemplary role, and not complain about some luck here, Corporal Paikanti. Do you think you're ready for this parachute? Parks' tone was stern.

This surprised many of the brothers around, after all, Parks has always been very kind in the hearts of the brothers. And he gets along with his brothers, and he knows how to respect his brothers, and his brothers respect him very much.

"Yes...... Yes! Paikanti couldn't react, and he stammered back, "It's my problem, there's no reason!" ”

"Alright, go ahead!" Parks said, and never looked at him again, and turned to leave, he had just left Winters, and had wanted to see his brothers in the barracks, but he saw a group of people who were gambling, and then he heard the words of Paikanti, and such a blindly optimistic tone from an old soldier made him a little angry.

"Continue?" Paikanti watched Parks turn to leave, looked back at his brothers around him, and said puzzledly, "Is there something wrong with the lieutenant or is there something wrong with me?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with the boss, Paikanti, you must have done something wrong!" Goneri sat on the side and looked at Paikanti with a smile, "Don't expect us to sympathize with you, it's obvious that you're very unhappy today, and you're here to make a big fuss, if you're not unlucky, who is unlucky?" ”

"Alright! I agree, as long as there is a move in the future, the leader can still take me. Paikanti raised his hand in surrender, "Alright, you guys, I still have a gold watch, the German's, Pace, you see, how much is it worth?" This is what a German colonel once worn, and it is very precious! ”

"Colonel?" Pace suddenly came to his senses, took the watch, and then looked at it carefully, "What a good watch, man, you killed a German colonel?" That's cool! Hearing Pace say this, a few more recruits came around, they wanted to hear what was going on, of course, this kind of brave thing can always make the recruits excited.

"Please, he killed only the lieutenant colonel, Pace, don't let this guy fool you." Goneri laughed from the side.

Paikanti glared at him, then smiled at Pace, "Although he is a lieutenant colonel, the chance of killing a lieutenant colonel on the battlefield is rarer than shooting flies with a gun." But I did, didn't I? ”

"Can you tell me?" The recruits asked.

"Of course, but this watch is worth a lot, Pace, tell me, how much should it cost?" Paikanti took the opportunity to say to the expectant Pace, "You have to give me an estimate, and then I'll tell you where it came from!" ”

"Three hundred!" Pace looked at his watch for a moment before he spoke.

Paikanti snatched the watch, shook his head and sneered, "Are you really joking, three hundred?" This watch is an honor, if not a captured trophy, it should be more than that! ”

"Okay, five hundred, I can only give so much, for the sake of this is what a German lieutenant colonel has worn!" It is clear that the booty itself is a great temptation, for these recruits, let alone a captured lieutenant colonel.

"Six hundred, this watch is yours!"

"Five hundred and fifty, this is my bottom line! No matter how expensive it is, I don't want it! Pace gritted his teeth, stared at his watch for a moment, and then looked away with difficulty.

Paikanti looked at Pace and felt that he couldn't get anything more, so he nodded and said, "Okay, the watch is yours, deal!" As he spoke, he handed over his watch.

"This watch ......," Pace wondered at Paikanti.

"Well, let me tell you, I followed our leader, went deep into the rear of the Germans, raided the headquarters of the German army, and captured it from." Paikanti triumphantly said, "We have killed several officers, including their regimental leader, Colonel Haight. God, that's crazy stuff. Now that you think about it, you know how crazy that was! ”

"Commando?" Paikanti's words made the recruits breathe a hard breath, because the deeds of the commando are familiar to every airborne soldier, "Captured during the assault on the German headquarters?" Then the recruit's eyes were firmly drawn to the watch.

"It's a big loss to you, Pace!" Goneri smiled, then took out a ring from his body and shook it in front of the recruits, "See, the pattern on this, this is only qualified to be worn by Hitler, rookies, give a price." It's a lot stronger than that watch, is there anyone bidding? This is also what I got when I stormed the German headquarters. Although he was also a lieutenant colonel, he was commended by Hitler and was very valuable! ”

Veterans will not miss any opportunity to express themselves, which can establish their prestige in front of the recruits and make them show their admiration for themselves, which can greatly satisfy the vanity of veterans, especially for those who have participated in commandos.

But the GIs didn't know what Parks was worried about, and they just went crazy before they skydive. It's an outlet for veterans and a thrill for recruits.

Parks wrote down his consideration of the entire "Market Garden Plan" overnight and gave it to Winters. He had to write it out as soon as possible, before he could parachute himself, and at least he could reduce some of the mistakes of the Allies, even if they didn't take his advice.

"Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can we make the war see the hope of victory!" Winters appreciates this as Parks summed up in the plan. He nodded at Parks and smiled, "Zink, you!" ”

Parks nodded, then said, "Will you hand it over to Captain Zink instead of Major Horton or Lieutenant Colonel Striele?" ”

"Don't worry!" Winters nodded at Parks, then picked up his military hat and put it on. He opened the door to the barracks and walked towards the regimental headquarters.

Parks watched him until his shadow vanished. He let out a long breath and sat down.

"That's Parks' plan?" Colonel Sink threw Parks' plan on the table with a "snap", and he had a big opinion about Winters passing over his superiors and handing him the plan for a lieutenant platoon commander directly.

"Yes, I agree with him!" Winters was firmly on Parks' side. He looked at Colonel Zink, not panicking at all, "I think there is some truth in what he said!" ”

"Makes some sense?" Zink was clearly by him, "It's unfounded suspicion, there's no point in doing that." What exactly is he questioning? Let's pay attention to the intelligence of the Dutch? Know what the Dutch Resistance has done? The British have been fooled by them, and their intelligence is credible? ”

"And the determination and strength of the Germans to resist?" Colonel Zinke rummaged through the paper on the table again, "too deep and too narrow...... Is he Montgomery or Britton? Don't forget that he's only a lieutenant, you're only a captain, do your part, Winters, you can't do any of this! ”

As he spoke, Sink's voice suddenly softened, and he sighed, "Actually, I don't have much heart!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Winters was suddenly a little helpless.

"Get out of here!" Zink suddenly yelled at Winters angrily. Although Winters was his favorite officer, it was clear that he had gone a little too far this time.

Winters saluted, then turned to leave, he had done his best, but the result was not ideal, which was also something he expected, he was only here because of Parks, in order to give Parks an explanation.

Watching Winters leave, Colonel Zink sighed to Streil, who was silent, "You have read this plan, what is your opinion, about this matter." Truth be told, they were too bold. ”

Strell nodded, "Actually, I personally think that Lieutenant Parks' worries have some justification. Victory aside, once we face the stubborn resistance of the German army, the possibility of our defeat will become a reality. ”

Colonel Sink also nodded, then looked at the plan in his hand, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Now that we are under the command of the British army, this is not good news. The British would not have believed the Dutch. There was already Dutch intelligence about the appearance of German armored units in the Arnhem area, which the British considered to be false information from the Dutch. They were fooled. ”

"So what do we do?" Striele looked at Colonel Zink, "If Parks' prediction comes true, we will suffer a major setback, and this will be a heavy blow to us!" ”

Colonel Zinke looked at Strell and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I don't have a lot of confidence in this battle plan!" Then he looked at the plan in his hand and said, "The only thing I can do now is to hand over this plan to General Taylor in time." I believe this will help them! For God's sake, they should be on the lookout! ”

Colonel Zinke handed over the plan to General Taylor of the 101st Airborne Division overnight, but attached the opinion of the regimental headquarters to the plan: it had important reference value.

General Taylor had a discussion with General Gavin of the 82nd Airborne Division at that time, and to be honest, they completely left the British 1st Airborne Division alone, and they did not deal with the British.

"Actually, I've questioned the battle plan this time a long time ago!" General Gavin looked at the plan, then smiled bitterly, "This plan is too hasty, if I can really penetrate the German line to the north, it will be my luck." Moreover, there is no doubt that the British division commander Browning lacked combat experience but refused to admit it, and he was a good man, and their division staff officers were too superficial in their thinking. Why did the British army often make mistakes in warfare? Now the problem is getting worse, and their unit commanders lack determination and fear hardship. ”

"It seems that our opinion is the same!" Taylor sighed, "This Lieutenant Parks was very prescient. We have to do something to reduce our losses, and that's much better than knowing there's something wrong and doing nothing! ”
