The decisive battle against the Third Reich

"General!" Qin Chuan reported: "We have occupied a warehouse with a lot of food in it!"

"What? That's what you called me to tell me?" General Strike couldn't help but be startled when he heard this.

"What else would there be?"

"We are in trouble, Sergeant!" General Strike said anxiously: "Our tanks have been reduced one by one, and our attack is in trouble. It won't take long for the enemy's reinforcements to arrive, and we are in danger of being annihilated. , and you told me that a food warehouse was occupied?"

"General!" Qin Chuan replied: "Because this is the key to solving the problem!"

"What?" General Strike didn't understand what the food warehouse had to do with the current problem. If it was a weapons warehouse, it would make sense.

"General!" Qin Chuan explained: "Egypt is a colony of the British, and I heard that the British are not friendly to Egypt!"

Although Britain was forced to recognize Egypt's independence, it only recognized it superficially... In fact, Britain continued to station troops in Egypt and fully controlled Egypt's military and politics under the pretext of protecting Egypt's "security" and "stability."

Inevitably, there will be a series of conflicts between the colonizers and the colonized.

"Of course!" General Strike knew this, but he still asked: "But what does this have to do with us?"

"General!" Qin Chuan said, "I think we should use the power of the masses!"

"The power of the masses?" General Strike couldn't help but be stunned: "Are you talking about the Egyptians?"

"Yes, General!"

"No, no... this is impossible!" General Strike said, "They are our enemies!"

No wonder General Strike thinks Egypt is an enemy of Germany...Germany and Britain are hostile countries, and Egypt is a British colony, so of course Egypt is the enemy of the German army.

But sometimes things on the battlefield cannot be replaced by equal amounts like mathematical operations.

"The most important thing is interests, general!" Qin Chuan said: "If we tell the Egyptians that we are here to liberate them, we will give them complete independence. We will not deceive, suppress, or massacre them like the British did. You What do you think the Egyptians will do?”

"They won't believe us so easily!" General Strike said.

"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied: "So we need a warehouse. We will distribute the food in the warehouse to them and tell them... After occupying the port, we are willing to share food and weapons and equipment with them!"

Hearing this, General Strike couldn't help but suddenly realized, and then nodded and said: "It's a good idea, Sergeant. Although I don't know whether it will succeed, it is worth a try!"

Of course it's worth a try, the Germans won't lose anything at all, and it doesn't even take much time.

Therefore, when General Strike told the officers Qin Chuan's suggestion, the officers all agreed.

"What a great idea!" Colonel Olbridge said: "The New Zealanders were able to disperse and hide in the city because they had the support and assistance of the Egyptians. If the Egyptians turned to support us, then they would It's about to end...The Egyptians will point out where they are hiding so we can take the initiative!"

"This is only good for the Egyptians, not bad!" Colonel Slain said: "Especially the food and weapons stored in the port warehouse. That is a large amount of supplies. If the Egyptians can get it... even a part of it, It's enough to form an army and fight for independence, and if they do nothing, they get nothing!"

"Act now!" General Strike no longer hesitated.

The matter is divided into two parts.

The first is to open a warehouse to store grain.

People like this the most, especially people in colonized countries... For them, it makes no difference whether Britain or Germany colonizes Egypt. They are all colonized by other countries anyway, so why not if they can get more and better?

At the same time, people with low education levels are generally short-sighted. They will not consider long-term issues such as Britain being more likely to win the war in the future. They only look at the present... and they will listen to whoever gives them benefits.

The second is publicity.

At this time, there was no rush to print leaflets, so the German soldiers found some Egyptians who could speak English from the Egyptian people... Egypt at this time was a British colony, and there were many people who could speak English. And because they were given food, they were also willing to do something for the German army.

Then the German soldiers prepared several loudspeakers and asked the Egyptians to shout in all directions: "Egyptians, Britain is our common enemy. We are here to liberate you. We will give you true independence and freedom. Get up." Resist British rule..."

Qin Chuan couldn't help but be confused when he heard these words on the radio.

The Germans may be good at fighting and are rigorous enough in their work, but they are amateurs when it comes to propaganda work... At this time, the German army did not even have an independent propaganda force. (Note: In the early days, the German propaganda unit was attached to the communications unit and did not become an independent branch until 1942)

Such blunt and unpeople-friendly official language obviously cannot impress the Egyptian people and may even have the opposite effect... When people hear such cold words and think of German tanks and artillery, they will even shudder.

So Qin Chuan spoke to Bazel and ran to the loudspeaker with his rifle. It didn't take him much effort to find a major who looked like the person in charge.

"Sir!" Qin Chuan said, "I think the slogan needs to be changed!"

The major looked back at Qin Chuan. When he saw Qin Chuan's rank, he said dissatisfiedly: "Sergeant, do your own thing, this is not the place for you to stay!"

"Sir..."

"I told you!" The major interrupted Qin Chuan impatiently: "Go back to your post!"

"Go back to your post, Major!" Colonel Slain appeared behind the two of them at some point.

"Colonel!" The major was a little surprised.

Colonel Slain ignored the major. He leaned forward and patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder as if greeting an old friend. He asked, "Is there anything wrong, Sergeant?"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "I think our propaganda method should be changed..."

"Colonel!" The major couldn't help but interrupt: "This is my job, I think I can do it well..."

"You'd better shut up, Major!" Colonel Slain interrupted the major:

"Listen to what the sergeant says and do what he says. Otherwise you get a rifle and walk in front of the tank. Do you understand?"

"But Colonel..." The Major was still unwilling to give in.

At this time, the major's adjutant recognized Qin Chuan, so he reminded him in a low voice: "Major, he is the sergeant..."

"What sergeant?" the major asked.

But then he realized what he meant, so he looked at Qin Chuan with his mouth half open.
