The decisive battle against the Third Reich

When Qin Chuan walked out of Baudoin's headquarters, it was already an hour later.

As soon as Qin Chuan cast his gaze on the empty sea, Annette's voice sounded next to him.

"I know what you're talking about!" Annette said, "I can't wait to see what the results are!"

"Why?" Qin Chuan asked, "Do you want to know if we will become enemies?"

"No, Lieutenant Colonel!" Annette walked up, squeezed Qin Chuan as if she couldn't bear the cold sea breeze, and replied, "I want to know if I will become their enemy!"

Qin Chuan couldn't help being stunned. He knew what this meant that Annette had given up, including friends, comrades-in-arms, motherland, etc.

However, it seems that this cannot be said completely, because based on the background of Annette, Baudouin and even the entire French battalion... they are all children of wealthy businessmen. Their families were still very prosperous when they cooperated with the Germans during the war, so this is They really had no choice in the path they were supposed to take.

"You are right, Annette!" Qin Chuan said, "You will understand this in the future, and never give up!"

"I have always known this, my sergeant!" Annette laughed and looked at Qin Chuan with lustful eyes: "And I have never doubted it!"

At this moment, Qin Chuan suddenly realized that Baudoin was right. If Annette was not a woman, she should be the commander of the French regiment.

After being intimate with Annette for a while, Qin Chuan reluctantly said goodbye to her.

"You'll come see me again, right?"

"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied: "As long as it's possible!"

"you promise!"

"I promise!"

…

This is the helplessness of war. The two belong to different troops and have different responsibilities, and they have to be separated even if they are not far apart.

It didn't take Qinchuan much time to find Rommel, who was inspecting the fortifications with drawings, because there was a staff officer and two guards waiting for Qinchuan outside the French regiment.

Qin Chuan knew that this actually had two meanings:

First, he was worried that Qinchuan would not be able to find Rommel and Colonel Slain.

This era is not like modern times, where everyone has a walkie-talkie and can also send locations and use maps to find people.

The beach is so big and there are so many people. If you want to find each other after being separated for a few hours, you have to ask all the way.

another……

Qinchuan believed that Rommel was worried that the French regiment might be detrimental to Qinchuan.

Rommel was very smart. He had a vague feeling that Qin Chuan might have some degree of "negotiation" with the French regiment... This kind of "negotiation" would be meaningless for anyone else, including Rommel.

The reason is simple, because they are all Germans, and the words of the Germans will only be regarded as "crocodile tears" by the French group and they will not be able to talk to each other.

Of course, Qin Chuan's identity is also German, but he is different. He had gained the trust of these French people before, so it was possible to talk.

So if the talks broke down, Rommel was worried that the French regiment would kill Qin Chuan in order not to leak the secret, so he arranged these few people.

From this aspect, Rommel was still very thoughtful.

Colonel Slain did not consider this aspect at all. He knew the relationship between Qin Chuan and Annette, so when he saw Qin Chuan, he asked in a low voice with a smile on his face: "How is the situation, Lieutenant Colonel? , is everything going well?"

When Rommel saw Qin Chuan, he couldn't wait to ask: "Oh, Lieutenant Colonel, is everything going well?"

On the surface, there seems to be no difference between the two sentences, but Qin Chuan knows that there is an essential difference between them.

So Qin Chuan answered in two parts.

"Everything goes well, Colonel!" Qin Chuan said: "I'm very lucky, Marshal, everything goes well!"

"So..." Rommel said: "Can we trust the French regiment?"

"I think it's okay, Marshal!" Qin Chuan replied, "I just need you to give them a little more trust!"

Rommel certainly understood what Qin Chuan meant.

In fact, Rommel had also considered this issue before... The problem with the French regiment was not combat effectiveness. They were a unit with quite good combat effectiveness, even stronger than many German troops.

The problem is simply that they are French.

Rommel was in a very awkward situation: did he trust them or not?

trust.

This means that the French regiment must be placed in a more important defensive position. Once the French regiment surrenders, it will have a very bad impact on the entire German defense line and may even cause a chain reaction and eventually lead to collapse.

distrust.

It means forcing this unit to surrender to the Allies.

So, this is a hot potato. In desperation, Rommel could only temporarily arrange it in the Volunteer Division... At least from the perspective of foreign troops, the French regiment is indeed suitable to stay in the Volunteer Division, because the Volunteer Division is all foreign troops. But in terms of combat effectiveness, this is a very unreasonable arrangement.

"Very good!" Rommel seemed very satisfied with Qin Chuan's answer. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You helped me solve another problem, Lieutenant Colonel. We have one less hidden danger and one more helper!"

With that said, Rommel turned his attention to the map. After looking at it for a while, he said to the staff: "Order the troops to give up the No. 5 defense zone and give it to the French regiment!"

"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal!"

"One more thing, Lieutenant Colonel!" Rommel raised his head and said to Qin Chuan: "I heard something about you serving as an instructor in the French battalion. If you want to transfer some of them to the 1st Infantry Regiment... …I won’t have a problem with that!”

Qin Chuan glanced at Colonel Slaine.

The "certain people" Rommel was referring to were obviously Annette, and this was of course what Colonel Slain told Rommel.

Colonel Slain raised his eyebrows, as if to say: "No need to thank me!"

This is indeed very tempting to Qin Chuan, especially at this time.

But Qin Chuan thought about it and finally refused.

the reason is simple.

Partly because the 1st Infantry Regiment was not safe.

Of course, Qin Chuan could arrange a casual position for Annette, but Qin Chuan knew Annette and she would not want to be placed there like a vase.

More importantly, there is another reason:

Because of Qinchuan's relationship, the German army and the French regiment have just established a vague trust... This trust relationship is still very fragile, and the French regiment is still worried that the German army will use the hands of the Allies to completely eliminate them.

At this time, Qin Chuan was eager to transfer Annette away, although this transfer had nothing to do with the trust between the German army and the French regiment. But the officers and soldiers of the French regiment who were at a critical moment of life and death would not think so.

To put it simply, Annette's continued stay in the French regiment would make them feel more at ease.

So, this is the best option.
