   A Central Hub


  中心枢纽
  Smith completed two tours in Vietnam, eventually flying more than 200 ground-support missions. While on his first tour, in Vietnam, he survived an ambush 1 that left most of his company dead. During the assault he became separated from his gun, but he managed to retrieve 2 the weapon in time to bring down a Vietcong soldier who was about to attack him. He had also learned a valuable lesson from the war. "There're only three things you gotta remember," he said, "shoot, move, and communicate."
  史密斯在越南参加了两次飞行,总共完成了200多次地面支援飞行任务。在越南的第一次飞行中,他们遭遇突袭,战友大多数都牺牲了,而他侥幸生还。战斗中,他的枪支脱手,但他及时夺回武器并击毙了一名正准备攻击他的越南士兵。战争给史密斯上了宝贵的一课。他说:“你只需记住3件事:开枪、移动和联络。”
  Home from Vietnam, Smith became fascinated by the notion that if you connected all the points of a network through a central hub, the efficiency could be enormous, whether the system involved moving packages and letters or people and planes. With an investment from his father's company, as well as a chunk 3 of his own inheritance, Smith bought his first Dassault Falcon 4 planes, and in 1971 formed the Federal Express Corporation.
  从越南回来后,史密斯开始执着于这样一种想法,如果把网络内所有的点都连接到一个中心枢纽,无论是运送包裹和信件,还是人和飞机,都会极富效率。他拿着父亲企业的投资以及一大部分继承的财产,购买了第一架达索尔特鹰式飞机。1971年,史密斯创办了联邦快递公司。
