Chapter 372: A Letter from the President

"Colonel Conwell S. Pitt!"

"Here!"

"For your outstanding performance in the war, you are hereby awarded the Order of Congress!"

The "Congressional Medal" hung on the chest of Conwell S. Pitt.

It is the highest symbol of honor in the United States.

In the Army, only the "Brave of the Brave" received this distinguished medal of honor.

Pete, the creator of the "Miracle of Mippens", "The Insurmountable Pete", etc., etc., many honors have been added to him alone.

There is no doubt that in the entire First World War, Pitt was the best performer in the U.S. military, even surpassing General Pershing, commander-in-chief of the U.S. Expeditionary Force.

When Pete stepped down, he felt a little ashamed when he saw Black Iron smiling at him. He had so many outstanding performances in the war, if he didn't have Black Iron, he wouldn't have been able to do it alone, and Black Iron would be more qualified for this medal.

Unfortunately, due to his status as a Black Iron Foreigner, he was unable to receive this honor.

"Iron"

Seeing that Pete wanted to untie his medal, Black Iron stopped him: "Pete, this is what you deserve, don't give it to me, wear it, remember those words on the battlefield, remember what you have obtained!" ”

Pete nodded vigorously, and suddenly became a little excited: "Iron, the Northern Expedition of **OSS has begun, and the war in Europe is over, I can go back with you." Let's go to the Northern Expedition of **OSS! ”

Hei Tie knew that the **oss in Pete's mouth was talking about Heng Shuai, and he smiled faintly: "No, you have to stay in the United States." ”

"Stay in the U.S.? Why? Pete was anxious: "I told the king that as soon as the war is over, I will go back!" I know that the king is waiting for me in China! ”

Heitie and Pete walked around and said, "Pete, this is what Shuai Heng has repeatedly told me, although the war has ended, you are now a colonel of the US army, and you have your own responsibilities here." Pete, believe me, you will have a chance to return to China again, but not now, be patient and wait for that day to come. ”

Pete's expression was very gloomy.

When fighting with the Germans, there is always a kind of enthusiasm that fierces oneself, as long as the Germans are defeated, they have fulfilled their responsibilities to the country, and they can go to China again, and continue to work under the **oss who likes to be in arrears of wages.

There are your own friends, your own good memories, and the place where your dreams begin!

However, the war is over, why can't I go back? Is the boss a new employee? Did the boss fire himself? Or did you do something wrong?

"Pete." Heitie fully knew Pete's mood at this time: "Heng Shuai also misses you very much, but he asked you to stay in the United States, I believe there must be a reason for him." ”

Pete nodded gloomily. In any case, the king's words were always true. If you can become this colonel, you can get the "Congressional Medal", everything is given to you by the king.

Without a king, he is nothing.

"Iron, what about you? Do you stay in the United States? Pete asked expectantly.

Black Iron shook his head: "No, I'm leaving soon." The war in Europe is over, you have fulfilled your responsibilities as an American citizen, and the war for unification has just begun, and now it is my turn to fulfill my responsibilities for my country! ”

The two of them walked forward silently and came to the tomb of the fallen soldier, and they saw that Yu Yun was already standing there.

Here, the fallen American soldiers are rested, and the companions of Black Iron are also rested.

Black Iron and his companions traveled to distant America, and then went on an expedition to Europe, and one by one his companions were killed, and now only Black Iron himself remained.

Looking at the familiar name on the tombstone, Hei Tie suddenly felt that his nose was a little sour.

"Pete, give!"

Yu Yun handed a letter to Pete.

Pete opened it and saw a photo at first glance, which was a photo of his best friend, Wang Hengyue, President of the Chinese National People's Political Axe and Commander-in-Chief of the National Revolutionary Army, with Vest, Mario, and Karnofsky.

Below, is a letter.

It was Wang Hengyue's letter, and Pete hurriedly opened the letter in front of two people:

"Pete, my friend, is the war over? But the war here has only just begun. The Northern Expedition is over, and I hope your victory will bring me good luck.

Vest, Mario and Karnofsky have all been promoted, very big officials, and now our weapons and equipment production is under their control, but I have to give them a big salary increase, which really hurts me."

Pete couldn't help but laugh, and looked at it carefully:

"I know that you don't want to let you continue to stay in the United States, and I am reluctant, but there is no way, you have more important things to do in the United States, believe me, your reason will be very broad, and staying in the United States is more promising than your return to China. Don't be sad, I'm sure we'll meet soon.

Pete, I've always felt that the military may not be the best place for you, and with your last name, I think a different career might be more promising, such as politics? With your surname of bragging, I think this industry is really good for you, and I suggest you think about it.

You have done a good job in Europe, it is a miracle and it is insurmountable, I believe that your status in the eyes of the American people must be very high now, right? It would be a shame to give up these high honors, or not to put them to good use. Yu Yun will continue to stay in the United States, but don't think crookedly, she stayed in the United States to help me do things."

Seeing this, Pete raised his head in surprise: "Yun, are you going to stay in the United States?" ”

Yu Yun nodded with a cold expression, acquiescing to the news.

Pete gets excited, it's great, it's amazing! He quickly looked at it again:

"Say something else, your good friend Deng Xia, now it's a big deal, commanding armored vehicles, I believe that in the near future, his armored fleet will come in handy. and those old friends of yours, Liu Sihai, Li Yifeng, Xu Mu, they are all on their own

Ding [***] has changed his name to become the National Revolutionary Army, but I can tell you that I still help you keep your position as a major general, and as long as I am still in the day, you will be a foreign general in our National Revolutionary Army. I don't know if there will be any more foreign generals in my army in the future, but it must be permanent foreign generals

I opened an account with Citibank in the United States, and I put a lot of money in it, and I deposit a sum of money every year, don't be happy, this money is not for you now. Do you want to know when you will be able to use it? I won't tell you, the account and password are all with Yu Yun, and she will tell you when she can open them.

Well, that's all for it, Pete, there is a sentence, you must remember that China and I are your friends forever, no matter when and where you go, you always have a home, China!

Good luck. Your boss: Wang Hengyue. ”

Pete's eyes moistened, and he muttered, "Boss, yes, you are my boss, forever and ever"

"Pete, goodbye, I'm leaving." Black Iron and Pete hugged down.

Pete hugged very tightly, and Hei Tie was able to withdraw with difficulty, and then turned to Yu Yun: "I'm leaving." ”

"Well, good luck." Yu Yun said lightly.

"You're in the United States, take care!" Hei Tie smiled: "I will tell your brother, Director Yu, that you are all right in the United States, let him rest assured." ”

Hei Tie glanced at Pete and Yu Yun one last time, then turned around and walked slowly

The "Shepherd" stopped, and the guests disembarked one by one.

Black Iron hurriedly ran forward with a suitcase.

The "Shepherd" will soon leave for China after its replenishment, and it will have to wait for more than ten days if it misses this flight.

I was in a hurry, and I accidentally bumped into a person, and then the sound of something breaking sounded.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Heitie forgot that this was in the United States, and the Chinese words blurted out.

"You're also Chinese?"

Only then did Hei Tie see that the other party was also two young Chinese, and then looked at the ground, a pocket watch fell to the ground, and the surface had been broken.

The young man with a big back on the side picked up the pocket watch from the ground with a look of regret.

"I pay, I pay." Black Iron said hurriedly.

"No, no." Big Back hurriedly said: "A hundred dollars of things, but because its case is pure gold, this is worth more, everyone is Chinese, forget it." ”

Black Iron took out a hundred dollars and stuffed it into the big back's hand without saying anything.

The big back head was embarrassed to accept it, but gave the pocket watch to Heitie: "Keep a souvenir, friend." ”

Black Iron nodded gratefully, and quickly ran onto the "Shepherd".

Big back smiled and collected a hundred dollars: "I just came to the United States, and I made a small profit, yes, yes, what I bought for two dollars, casually said that it was gold, and he believed it." ”

"He's in a hurry to get on board." The companion wearing gold-rimmed glasses on the side smiled: "You cheat for a hundred dollars?" ”

"That's a good sign!" Da Beitou said very seriously: "When I first came to the United States, I successfully deceived one, and it seems that our trip to the United States will be very smooth." ”

The gold-rimmed glasses shrugged his shoulders and glanced at the "Shepherd": "Who did you say that person was just now?" There aren't many people who can come up with a hundred dollars at once. Looking at his hurried appearance, it seemed as if he wanted to return to China immediately. ”

The big back said indifferently: "It doesn't matter who he is, it's our first victim in the United States anyway!" ”

As he spoke, he waved vigorously at the Shepherd:

"Have a nice trip, friend!"
