Chapter 52 Winters' Plan

Several months have passed in a flash. Looking at the calendar on the wall, it was almost 1943, but what we welcomed Chen Bin and the others was still training.

There is no news that I will be sent to the battlefield...

Chen Bin gradually understood his current situation.

The famous 101st Airborne Division of the US Army, the eagle emblem on the armband made Chen Bin's eyelids twitch... Because in later generations, domestic labor protection uniforms liked to print this icon...

However, the real 101 Airborne Division, as the ace unit in Eisenhower's later hands, is first-class in terms of treatment and training conditions.

Not to mention comparing with domestic troops of the same period, even the training consumption of the Japanese army is not as good as Chen Bin and others.

Bullets and shells were shot out during training like running water. In addition to pasta with meat sauce, daily dietary supplies were occasionally served. These things that were used to in later generations were definitely a luxury in this era...

Therefore, when Chen Bin refused to deliver the ice cream, he immediately had a look of his comrades looking at him. He had a straight-tempered temper and even said that he was a reckless mountain cannon, Gernery, and he began to be sarcastic without any scruples.

"Hey, Sgt. You might not have eaten ice cream before? Oh, I almost forgot that you can't afford to earn money from carrying things. Of course, it's still a question whether anyone sells it to you."

"Please don't look at everything in the world with your shallow, frog-like eyes in the deep well. After all, there is an old saying, "Toad Sun Frog, you are ugly and playful!"

Chen Bin glanced at Gerai, who was holding a lunch box and gnawing ice cream, and whined back without any mercy.

Mix a little milk and add sugar to ice cream crazily. As for how vigorously you eat it? Are you really not afraid of diabetes?!

"Farke, don't think you are a sergeant and I dare not beat you. God knows if you are selling your ass..."

Amid the laughter of the comrades watching the fun and not bothering, Corporal Gernery's face turned red and immediately fell off the food box in his hand, intending to give Chen Bin some color.

During these months of contact, Chen Bin, who was like an orphan, did not perform much except outstanding in training. Just like the Chinese in Glenry's impression, he would not do anything except working hard...

However, this time, Glenery miscalculated...

"Shut up, Grenery! If you don't want me to apply for a military court on the grounds that Corporal Grenery insulted his superiors!"

Lieutenant Winters, no, he should be the lieutenant now. Seeing him come forward, everyone stopped making noise, only a trace of regret suddenly flowed out from Chen Bin's face...

I have been unhappy with this "gonorrhea" corporal for a long time, and he usually dances the most happily. However, due to military law, Chen Bin cannot take the initiative to do it.

Otherwise, they would be charged with "leading in a dangerous way". The US military is not the Korean army, and it will almost become a tradition for the US military. If you take the initiative, Chen Bin is sure that these guys will definitely apply to convene a military court to cause trouble for themselves.

And I hate trouble the most!

"Chen, come with me!"

Ignoring Glenery cursed in a low voice with anger, Winters waved to Chen Bin.

"How many months have your tig been?"

"Nine months old, Lieutenant, is there anything wrong?"

After coming to an unmanned open space, Winters asked directly. Chen Bin also responded with a puzzled look...

Generally speaking, only when facing promotion or preparing for promotion, tig, that is, the current service time, need to be considered.

Then the question is...

"Lieutenant, do you want me to be promoted to sergeant?"

"Why not? In one month, your tig will meet the standards, and your usual training results are even better than the E-company. I have no reason to put such an excellent sergeant not to apply for promotion!"

"Sauber won't pass, and besides, I'm not getting along well with the people in the platoon now. Lieutenant, you should consider it again."

Chen Bin smiled and shook his head. This lieutenant who always looked gentle and elegant might be the only person he could get to know now. Or he was the only one who did not look at himself with tinted glasses.

Chen Bin appreciated Winters' kindness, but Chen Bin really didn't want the promotion.

From the sergeant of e-5 to the sergeant of e-6, I either served as the squad leader of the combat squad or a platoon-level staff sergeant. No matter which one, I must interfere in the management of the second platoon of the e-company.

Since ancient times, management has often been equated with "offending people". Even though Chen Bin is not afraid of offending people, that will only cause trouble...

You know, those white people are now sarcastic about themselves being a yellow man who has obtained the rank of sergeant. If they hold actual leadership positions and have real interactions at work, they might even make a fuss...

Chen Bin hates trouble the most!

"I will find a way to Sauber, you don't have to worry."

Winters was not surprised to hear Chen Bin rejection.

There is only one sergeant like Chen Bin in the entire e Company. Not to mention not being the squad leader, even the leader of the combat team. Sergeants like ordinary soldiers seem particularly different in this kind of field company.

If Chen Bin's training results were broken, that would be fine. After all, blacksmiths still need to be strong by themselves. If you are not strong by yourself, why would other soldiers obey your leader?

"We have known each other for several months, and I have been observing you for the past few months. I admit that at the beginning, I was just like Gernery and the others, and I was curious about how you were promoted to Sgt..."

"Of course, I'm not discriminating against yellow people. But you also know that in the military, people of color are usually hard to join, let alone to get promoted..."

"After seeing your performance on the training ground, I think I understand. Similarly, after several months of observation, I also found that you did not regard yourself as the e-company person from the beginning to the end, and the people in the second row are not your brother!"

A company that rejects oneself will only have a sense of belonging!

Chen Bin did not deny Winters' words, but just listened quietly. Chen Bin's unopposed attitude also made Winters more sure of his judgment.

"So, I have already thought about promoting you to a sergeant. There is no vacant position in squad leader now. After promotion, you will serve as a sergeant in the second platoon and help me manage the second platoon together."

"Wait, you mean, platoon-level sergeant, not staff sergeant?"

Chen Bin probably understood what Winters meant. He hoped that by promoting his military rank, he could force himself to participate more in the life of the second platoon, and then slowly cultivate his sense of belonging.

As a commander, Chen Bin had to admire such a delicate commander. But in a blink of an eye, Chen Bin seemed to hear a word that was not right...
