General Barton is drifting away? dream about/of
George? General Patton's original dream was to become an excellent cavalry, but he unexpectedly became the founder of the American armored forces and was finally praised as? General iron bravery? Army five-star general.
Barton was born in a noble family and was trained as an excellent rider from an early age. He graduated from West Point Military Academy at the age of 24 and joined the cavalry of the First Army of the United States with the rank of second lieutenant. He expects that he will continue to work for a long time. Unexpectedly, in 19 15, when he was 30 years old, he was transferred to the special general of the US Army, John? Joseph? General Pershing's adjutant followed him to Europe.
General Pershing admired Barton and called him? A real soldier? And within two years, he was promoted from lieutenant colonel to colonel. Facing the rocket-like promotion speed, young Barton is not complacent, and he doesn't want to be complacent. He yearns for the first-line battlefield of the Kingoma Railway. General Pershing saw it in his eyes and enjoyed it in his heart.
Barton had expected that the general would naturally send him to the cavalry after the war. Pershing, however, only gave him two choices:? Either lead the formation of a tank unit or lead an infantry battalion. ? Although the general broke the convention and was selected by his subordinates, Barton refused to make any choice. Barton knew the boss's uncompromising character, and without any more excuses, he replied sullenly. I have to think about it. ? Pershing patted him on the shoulder and said that he could be given enough time to think and prepare.
Barton knows very well that since he took the initiative, he can't take it back and just be an adjutant. Because it is not his own character, it is bound to disappoint his boss who has carefully trained him. But on second thought, I think the arrangement made by the general must have been thought for a long time, and there must be his reason.
The contradiction between ideal and reality made Barton unable to make a decision. He thought of his father-in-law, a famous entrepreneur in Massachusetts, who knew Barton very well. Barton likes and worships his father-in-law very much and regards his father-in-law as his life mentor. Father-in-law clearly understood his son-in-law's eagerness to make contributions, so he advised him that the objective reality is often that people choose jobs, not people choose jobs. It needs to be emphasized that if I were a soldier, I would volunteer, but I think the most glorious thing for a soldier is not how many enemies he killed, but to win the war with the least casualties. ? Barton was enlightened by his father-in-law's words. Make him feel that his father-in-law is as great as General Pershing. Isn't the purpose of forming a tank force just like his father-in-law said?
So in 20071October 9th 19 165438, Colonel Barton, who was only two days away from his 32nd birthday, became the highest officer of the first tank unit in the United States. Except for the 20 tanks sponsored by the French army, the rest depends on Barton.
Barton is a novice who has just learned to drive a tank, and the newly enlisted soldiers know almost nothing about tanks. Barton must be a tank driver, coach and commander. Although it is difficult and stressful, Barton knows very well that since he accepted the task, he has no choice. From any angle, he can only move forward, not backward. Therefore, he played the slogan. A cup of sweat will bring a bucket of blood! ? Let the officers and men shout slogans every day to educate everyone to truly understand that only by hard training at ordinary times can we reduce casualties on the battlefield.
In fact, the narrow space and sultry environment of tank mines are not suitable for the tall Barton. In order to motivate the soldiers, Barton personally drove the tank to take the lead in training, leaving more than one cup of sweat every time. Barton's personal experience enabled a well-trained tank army to quickly build six companies in less than half a year. General Pershing almost cried with joy.
Barton is famous for leading the tank troops in the war against Germany. However, when he was just familiar with tank operation, he was quickly transferred to the infantry. During World War II, he was promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the Third Army with impressive achievements.
General Barton seems to be drifting away from his original dream with every step. But I never complain about others, but listen to the teachings of my elders, obey the distribution of my superiors, respect the reality, and go all out in every post and get good results. We should do the same in the workplace. When we can't choose the job we like, we should do a job, love a job and do a good job. Maybe our ultimate success will far exceed our initial dreams.
