The decisive battle against the Third Reich

"Wait?" Baudoin looked at Qin Chuan in confusion: "Can I wait any longer? Everyone knows that the Allies are about to attack, and we have no conditions to wait any longer!"

"Oh, Baudouin!" Qin Chuan said with a smile: "You fought against the Allies, or did you kill too many Americans and British people?"

Baudouin thought about it and felt that Qinchuan was right. The French battalion was not established on the first day. The French battalion had been fighting the Allies on the Gabes defense line for more than a year. It died in their hands or because of them. Many people died at the hands of the Allies.

"I know!" Qin Chuan said: "'Fighting France' may have given you an ultimatum, but Baudouin... you have to know that war is only about interests. As long as you maintain strong combat effectiveness at any time, you will be allies." If you have a strong opponent or resistance, then you have the value to win over. It is like this today, it will be like this tomorrow, and it will always be like this in the future!"

Baudoin nodded and agreed with Qin Chuan's statement.

The fact is indeed what Qin Chuan said, because this is not the first time that "Fighting France" has given a so-called "ultimatum" to spies under the French battalion.

"But..." Baudoin glanced at Qin Chuan and said, "Who knows whether the Germans will use the help of the Allies to keep us here forever?"

This was one of the reasons why Baudouin felt that a decision had to be made immediately.

This worry is also justified, because the Germans do not trust the French regiment, including Rommel, commander of Army Group B.

The reason is as Rommel said before, the French regiment is French, and from all considerations, they will side with the Allies.

Therefore, it is not ruled out that the German army will order the French regiment to defend the front line until its entire army is annihilated... This will inflict casualties on the Allies, and secondly, completely eliminate the hidden danger of the French regiment.

"This may have existed before I came here!" Qin Chuan said: "But after I came... this possibility has been reduced exponentially!"

"Lieutenant Colonel!" Baudoin laughed: "I'm not doubting your ability, but you should know that even if you are a 'Legendary Sergeant' and even if you have great influence, some things are still beyond your control. of!"

"I'm not talking about my ability, Baudouin!" Qin Chuan replied: "You are right. With my personal ability, it is indeed difficult to protect the French regiment... This concerns Germany and France. If I try to protect the French regiment... If it’s the French group, even I might be implicated!”

"Then what are you talking about?" Baudouin asked.

Qin Chuan did not answer, but asked instead: "Why are you worried that Germany will keep you here forever with the help of the Allies?"

"Trust!" replied Baudoin: "Because they don't trust us, because we are French!"

"You're right!" Qin Chuan spread his hands and said, "I may not have the ability to call the shots, but I can influence their trust in the French regiment."

Qinchuan was right. The reason why Rommel wanted Qinchuan to have more contact with the French regiment was ultimately to enhance the trustworthiness of the French regiment... At this time, the relationship between the French regiment and the German army was very subtle. The more suspicious he became, the more suspicious he became. It is to push the other person away from the other person, but the opposite is much better.

Of course, trusting without reservation comes with risks.

"Lieutenant Colonel!" Baudoin handed Qin Chuan a cigarette and said, "You seem to be very confident in this battle?"

"No, Baudouin!" Qin Chuan objected: "I don't have confidence in this battle, I have confidence in the French!"

"What do you mean?" Baudouin looked confused.

"The French soldiers during World War I were brave!" Qin Chuan said: "So they would have the pride of being victors, even though they suffered heavy casualties on the battlefield!"

France fought too hard in World War I, with more than one million casualties, accounting for one-fifth of the total casualties of the Allied Powers, not including casualties in French colonies.

But this has also become the pride of France, because they believe that they are the mainstay of the Allied Powers and that they have saved the entire world.

"But..." Qin Chuan changed the topic: "This time, I don't need to say more about how France performed!"

"But what does this have to do with us?" Bauduant stood up eagerly, seeming to be angered by Qin Chuan's words.

"Look!" Qin Chuan waved his hand towards Baudoin: "Even you can't bear this huge contrast!"

Baudoin seemed to understand something after hearing this, and then sat back thoughtfully.

"That's what I want to say, Baudoin!" Qin Chuan said: "When a person shows self-esteem, there are two reasons, one is from self-confidence, and the other is from inferiority!"

Qin Chuan lit the cigarette in his mouth and continued: "During World War I, the French's self-esteem was the former, which was derived from self-confidence. But this time, the French's self-esteem was the latter, which was derived from self-confidence. Due to inferiority complex..."

This is actually one of the reasons why de Gaulle showed ridiculous and even unbelievable behavior among the Allies... The so-called French sovereignty that de Gaulle maintained was indeed what a sovereign country should have, but it was obviously not an exile after the country's subjugation. The government can even be brought up by a puppet.

"I think you should have seen people like this!" Qin Chuan continued: "I mean self-esteem that comes from inferiority. What will happen to them? They will put themselves on a moral high ground, ignore your contribution, ignore Your helplessness... even though they had no choice but to give in, and even signed the surrender document, this does not affect them from digging out all the things that have helped the enemy and convicting you!"

"No, they won't..." Although Baudoin said this, his eyes had betrayed him.

"Oh, really?" Qin Chuan smiled: "They must have given you a promise, but Baudouin...don't be so naive, okay? Agreements are meant to be torn up, promises are meant to be betrayed, you understand this World. They make promises to you now just for profit, and they will also break their promises in the future for profit!"

Qin Chuan leaned on the chair and exhaled smoke while saying: "Everything is profit, Baudouin, everything is profit! You know this, but you are still trapped in your own beautiful fantasy!"

Qinchuan did not lie to Baudouin. The first thing the French did after liberation was not to rebuild their homeland, but to liquidate those who had helped the Germans. This included women who were used as shields during the German occupation and were dragged out through the streets with their heads shaved and their clothes stripped.

The soldiers of the French regiment, themselves and their families, were obviously included in the liquidation.
