Chapter 001 Jon Hardy



The Battle of Iwo Jima, considered the bloodiest battle of the Pacific War, lasted from February 19 to March 26, 1945.

The entire island was almost bombed to ashes.

In this battle, the American army suffered 6,821 casualties and 21,865 injuries.

The Japanese suffered 22,703 casualties and 1,083 surrendered.

During the battle, Sergeant Tom Hardy of the Marine Division was very brave and shot and killed more than a dozen Japanese soldiers.

While leading his team to charge, he was unfortunately hit by a bullet in the chest.

When he woke up, he had been moved to the medical ship for treatment. However, no one knew that Tom Hardy's body had been replaced by a soul from China.

Tom Hardy was born in 1921 and is 24 years old this year. He has no parents and only a high school education. He served in the army for five years and participated in many battles, which developed his strong character.

The Chinese soul comes from the modern era, and its name is An Yi.

A full hundred years separated the two souls.

The nurse in charge of Hardy was called Catherine. Among the dozens of nurses on the ship, Catherine was the youngest and most beautiful one.

Catherine changed the dressing for An Yi, disinfected the front and back wounds with iodine, poured sulfa powder on them, wrapped them with gauze, and helped An Yi lie down.

"Sergeant Hardy, I believe you will get better soon." Catherine comforted with a smile.

"Thank you, nurse."

A few days later, the medical ship, loaded with wounded soldiers, set sail back to Hawaii Port. An Yi discovered something: his injuries were originally considered quite serious, but he recovered abnormally fast.

No inflammation.

The wound scabs over in two days.

Only a scar is left in ten days.

Completely recovered after half a month.

This recovery speed is almost 10 times that of ordinary people.

An Yi didn't dare tell anyone for fear of being treated as a monster, but he guessed that this was the benefit of his time travel.

Now the two souls have not yet completely merged, and the two memories are constantly interacting, which makes An Yi sometimes dazed and very uncomfortable.

He went to see a doctor, but of course he couldn't tell him about the time travel, he just asked how to relieve his mental confusion.

There were only surgeons on board, and they were not good at treating An Yi's condition. They analyzed that he might have a mental illness.

Many soldiers who returned from the battlefield suffered from combat traumatic injury.

The doctor gave him some sedatives and wrote him a checkup sheet, asking him to go to a psychiatric department for a thorough checkup after arriving in Hawaii.

The ship was full of wounded soldiers and the nurses were very busy every day, which made them very tired. An Yi was basically recovered and expressed his willingness to help Catherine, and Catherine readily agreed.

With Anyi's help, Catherine's workload was reduced by half, which greatly relieved her fatigue. Anyi also made many friends while taking care of the patients.

Half a month later, the ship crossed the Pacific Ocean and arrived at the port of Hawaii. All the injured went ashore, including the nurses on board.

Another wave of nurses will replace them.

An Yi received a physical examination in the hospital. The doctor found that he had recovered, but he didn't take it too seriously. There were too many injured people and the doctor didn't have the energy to pay special attention to him.

An Yi took the note written by the ship's doctor to the psychiatric department for a checkup. After a brief questioning, the doctor diagnosed him with post-war trauma syndrome.

Conclusion,

Hospitalized for one month for psychological treatment.

In the inpatient department, An Yi saw Catherine again. The two were already very familiar with each other. An Yi had a good impression of this girl with two dimples when she smiled, and invited Catherine to have dinner at a restaurant in downtown Honolulu.

After dinner, the two of them took a walk on the soft beach, enjoying the gentle sea breeze and the beautiful night view.

It was getting late, so instead of going back to the hospital, they went into the hotel and had a pleasant conversation on the bed.

Afterwards, Catherine lay in the man's arms, stroking the gunshot scar on his solid chest muscles. She told Anyi that she thought Hardy was the most handsome on the boat.

In the morning, Catherine went to work at the hospital and lay comfortably on the bed. After a night of dedicated treatment by the young nurse, he felt that his mental confusion symptoms had improved a lot.

An Yi once saw someone say on the Internet that sex is the best medicine to heal emotional trauma, and now he believes it.

Walk into the hotel bathroom naked.

In the mirror,

The man had a strong body, six-pack abs, a mermaid line, strong thighs, short black hair, small but deep eyes, and a natural aura of ruthlessness.

He grinned slightly, with a hint of ruffian in his smile.

No wonder women like it.

During the one-month treatment period that followed, I spent half a month of leisure time in a hotel with Catherine.

Catherine is a nurse, so she must be wearing a nurse's uniform.

White Hat,

stethoscope,

Stockings,

Vacuum nurse suit,

These are really a perfect match.

But good times are always short-lived. One day, a second lieutenant found comfort.

"Sergeant Hardy, your injuries have healed and the military is preparing to arrange for you to return to the army and continue serving."

An Yi shook his head immediately.

He now has a Chinese soul in his body and is absolutely unwilling to work for the Americans again.

Besides, the battlefield is ruthless. Although he is recovering from his injuries much faster than others, he is still not immune to death.

If a bullet hits your body, you will still bleed, and if your head is blown up, you will definitely die.

He has made up his mind to retire.

He went to a psychiatrist and told him that he was still in a trance. The doctor gave him a certificate for post-traumatic stress syndrome and he left the army peacefully.

A few days later, he received a pitiful retirement allowance of a few hundred dollars and a battle medal, said goodbye to Catherine at the hotel, and boarded a cruise ship back to Los Angeles the next day.

What to do in the future? An Yi is actually a little confused now.

Because through these two months of observation, he found that this world was somewhat ambiguous, and many places were different from the world in his memory.

In his past life memory, the current US President should be Harris Truman, but now it is an old guy named Johnson.

There are many things in this world that he knows about, but there are also many companies and celebrities that he has never heard of.

He had also seen some reports in the newspapers. For example, a few days ago, the newspaper reported that the head of the Mafia Corrion Family, Godfather Vito Corrion, held a grand wedding for his youngest daughter Connie.

When An Yi saw this report, he was a little confused.

The Godfather Vito Corrion marries his daughter. Isn't this a scene from the movie "The Godfather"? Why is it here?

"The FBI has filed another lawsuit against Chicago gang leader Al Capone. This is the seventh charge Capone has faced in his lifetime. I wonder if the Chicago underground emperor will be able to get away with it again this time."

He had read a news report not long ago.

The federal court charged Nucky Thompson with tax evasion and sentenced him to ten years in prison. Nucky Thompson's imprisonment caused several major forces in Atlantic City to fall apart, and his future was uncertain.

He didn't care at the time.

Now that I think about it, isn’t this the plot of “Atlantic City”? !

An Yi seriously suspected that he had traveled to the world of film and television.

He plans to settle down first and understand the world first.

After the cruise ship arrived in Los Angeles, I took a bus back to my hometown in Orange County, rented a small apartment and settled down. A few days later, I found a job as a waiter in a bar.

His working hours are from 3pm to 11pm, which leaves An Yi with plenty of time during the day.

Get up in the morning and go running to exercise.

There is a boxing gym near his home. An Yi signed up and goes to the gym to practice boxing in the morning.

After traveling through time and space, An Yi initially hoped that the system described in the novel would exist, but unfortunately it did not appear after waiting for a long time.

But he also discovered that he was different from ordinary people.

For example, his body recovery ability is ten times stronger than that of a normal person.

I noticed this when I was reborn.

When practicing boxing in a gym, it is inevitable to get injured, such as strained muscles, swollen eye sockets, fist scrapes, etc. These minor injuries can be fully recovered by just a good night's sleep the next day.

There was even one time when he was serving as a sparring partner and he accidentally broke a rib with Garcia, the strongest boxer in the gym, but he recovered in just three days.

Also, his sensitivity to crisis is much stronger than others. He wonders if it is because of the fusion of two souls.

After more than two months of training, An Yi's physical fitness, endurance, ability to withstand blows, and fighting awareness have been greatly enhanced.

Yesterday when he was sparring with Garcia, it only took him three minutes to beat the guy so badly that he couldn't get up, with black eyes and blood coming out of the corners of his mouth.

An Yi has become the strongest boxer in the gym. The coach advises An Yi to concentrate on boxing. Maybe he can become the best boxer in the United States in the future and make a lot of money.

An Yi thought about it and finally refused.

He has bigger ambitions for the future and doesn't want to be just a boxer.

In addition to boxing,

I also practice shooting occasionally.

His marksmanship was already pretty good, and the battlefield had honed his fighting skills, and he mainly practiced the art of drawing a gun.

While in the army, he met a guy from Texas who told An Yi that he had won the county's quick-shooting championship. After the two became friends, he taught Hardy his best shooting skills.

An Yi spent $45 to buy a second-hand Colt revolver. The owner gave him a holster as a gift. He would occasionally go out to practice shooting, and if he was lucky, he could even shoot one or two wild game.

Although we live in peace and stability, the world never stops but moves forward vigorously, with countless major events happening every day.

On August 6, 1945, Little Boy exploded in Hiroshima, and on August 9, Fat Man exploded in Nagasaki.

On August 15, Japan announced its unconditional surrender.

The surrender was signed on September 2, and World War II ended.

But these have nothing to do with comfort.

Now he is just an ordinary American citizen, working in a bar.
