Ranke struggled to recall the scene: "I was a secondary school student, and I followed my mother there to visit a distant relative, who was said to have a noble title, and there were some local forces who wanted to ask for help to find a way for me to study at Cambridge or Oxford." As a result, the man was very cold, and he didn't want to deal with us at all, so he sent us away in a hurry. Then the next year, my mother still didn't give up, and insisted on going again, but it was still not ideal. Then she gave up, and then I went to Cambridge on my own -- I didn't go their way. ”

"In that case, will you be recognized?" Skorzny was a little nervous.

"No...... I was only a teenager at the time, and people who had seen me would not associate me with the thin, short little boy I am now, not to mention that I knew that this relative had died a year before my mother died, and I had just graduated from Cambridge at that time, and they mistakenly thought that I would have some great future and made a special post hoping that we could go over to mourn, but I ignored ......" Ranke said in an affirmative tone, "I have no contact with the other residents of the town, and the rest of their family will not have any impression of me, because I have left in a hurry on both occasions. ”

"That's great, can you make a map of that?"

"Yes, but after all these years, I can't guarantee that it's still the same scene, let alone that my memory is perfect, after all, I just looked at this strange scene through the eyes of a little boy."

"No, just depict the general situation." Skorzny was relieved, "No matter how it changes. In just over a decade, the main features will not change, not to mention bridges, rivers, hills, woods, etc., and we can adjust the scheme based on this map combined with aerial photos. ”

"Then I'll draw it for you early tomorrow morning."

"No problem. Now you change your clothes first, and then I'll take you to get to know the team members, it's the rule every time a newcomer comes, and you can't be an exception if you're the commander. ”

Ranke hurriedly changed into a British gendarmerie lieutenant colonel's uniform, and this time he chose the rank of lieutenant colonel - his age was here, the rank was almost at the top, and he could not be promoted any higher.

Skorzny looked at him carefully. He complimented: "As soon as you put on this dress, you showed the aristocratic style, decadence and pretentiousness that are characteristic of the British, and I am looking forward to your performance." ”

Ranke looked in the mirror and said, "If I'm playing the role of an officer in the rear garrison gendarmerie, I'll have to get my hair right." Hairspray and styling water are essential, and maybe some perfume is sprinkled on - I feel sick every time. By the way, these must be British or French brands, and if you don't have them, Italian brands can make do. Don't be German. The smell will reveal the filling. ”

Skorzny nodded, agreeing with Ranke.

"Also, get me some designer shirts, ties, and leather shoes, like the one with the name of the famous Italian fashion designer Elsa Helly on the label, which is the brand enjoyed by the upper class - although military uniforms can't reflect luxury, do you think those aristocratic lords don't need luxury?"

"The Italian brand won't show the filling?"

"Italian brands are louder than British brands, more luxurious, and more recognized by the aristocracy. It is true that Britain and Italy are at war, but it does not mean that Italian luxury goods cannot enter the British Isles. In fact, since Italian brands were more difficult to obtain than they were before the war, these aristocratic officers were now more admired than ever. "Ranke Road." I observed for several days in the camps of British officers in North Africa, and almost all the noble officers had one or two sets of equipment, and I had taken them all down instead of just their gold watches. ”

Skorzny laughed, "Don't worry, these props must be there, I can't find it to coordinate through Director Bowman or Director Carlden Bronner - you are in such a state of being able to get into the role so quickly." ”

After gathering the players, Skorzny first gave a general overview of Ranke's situation, and then introduced the players to him one by one, and gave a special introduction to the players with additional skills, Ranke heard clearly and tried to write it down, Skorzny was all introduced in English, although it was a bit clumsy and laborious, but it basically expressed the right meaning, and the players all responded in English.

"Nice to meet you......" After the introduction, Ranke took the initiative to reach out and want to shake hands with them one by one, but before he met each other, a ridicule had sounded around him, all of which were said in various weird tones: "Hahahaha, someone is racing German, fine, fine ......"

"I'm sorry......" Skorzny shrugged sheepishly, "I forgot to remind you just now." ”

"Alright, a mark!" In fact, Ranke knew that it was bad as soon as he said it, and the German greeting was just subconscious. Gritting his teeth, he pulled a coin out of his pocket and handed it to Skorzner, speaking in his trademark Oxford accent, "Hello everyone, I'm Rank, you new chief, let's cheer for this mission together!" ”

"Come on!" Although the team members did not know what Rank's origin was, as soon as they saw his rank and Oxford-accented demeanor, they knew that he was the leader that the captain had been seeking, and they immediately cheered up, and everyone keenly felt that the time for action was approaching.

"Now the whole team, after lining up in three columns, stand upright and report the number." Ranke turned his head to Skorzny and said, "You play my guard, stand behind me with a submachine gun in hand, and you don't have to be in a whole line—having a big guard is also one of the pomp and circumstance peculiar to a noble officer." ”

"Yes, sir!" Everyone, including Skorzny, replied loudly. The team quickly lined up as required and began to report the numbers, "one, two, three......"

"Just now, I inspected your situation through basic actions such as the whole team and reporting the number, and found that there are the following problems, please pay close attention to them and pay attention to overcoming them." Ranke listed them one by one:

First, you are too fast and too well-trained, you are all elites, and these action essentials are not a problem for you, but the problem is that those who remain in Britain are mobilized officers and soldiers who do not know how many waves they have, and even if they have received reserve education, it is impossible for them to have such good military qualities, so you should slow down the pace, and it is best to have a time when you are in a hurry;

Second, your ranks are too neatly arranged, our German troops are strict and meticulous in the queue, but the British are not so particular, you are too neat and imposing, and the most elite British troops I have seen on the El Alamein front cannot discharge this momentum, let alone the scum soldiers left behind in the rear;

Third, the tone can be slightly longer in the process of reporting the number, especially the last number must be delayed a little longer - remind the chief that the number has reached the end, don't laugh, the British are generally not strong in mathematics, similar to the calculation of sixteen times three, think about it for a while, you finish reporting so quickly, what should you do if the chief has not yet calculated it?

Everyone couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

"Turn left and walk in unison...... Halt. As a result, he only walked thirty Milanques and picked out the problem again, "You guys are walking too neatly!" The steps should be more casual, the swing distance can be enlarged a little, the British are walking is very exaggerated, the hand is eager to be thrown into the sky, walking in unison also has this problem, no matter when remember not to bring in the German step action. Finally, be sure to subconsciously stomp your feet when you stand up - don't feel uncomfortable, that's what the British are used to. ”

Everyone laughed again, only Skortz was secretly glad in his heart that only a few basic actions made people with a heart see that the problem was coming, but fortunately there was Ranke to correct it, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I would like to give you two final words of advice, please keep in mind: the first sentence is that you are not an elite unit - the elite troops of Great Britain were either defeated by us on the battlefield in France, or now North Africa is eating sand, and you are only a force left behind in the rear, so the actions and daily performances must not be too good, otherwise it will be incredible; In the second sentence, you are a gendarmerie unit, the kind of unit that has no real skills but usually drags five or six people, so you must pay attention to restraining your murderous spirit, but you must show the vanity, nobody, decadence and indifference characteristic of the gendarmes. Note that hard-working is never included in these habits. Therefore, after walking a long way, you can complain to the commander and ask for rest for days......"

As soon as his words fell, someone in the team immediately screamed "oops, oops", and then one after another, asking for rest in various tones.

"Bastard......" Ranke was made to cry and laugh, "there are too many people who call, and they don't pretend to be like it at all, no matter how much the British military police are soldiers, not grandmothers, and the posture you call must come in turns, and you must fully show the hypocritical style of being able to walk quickly but still have to be hard." Because a lot of the time the fucking British officer went on a horse or in a car, and no one told him, how could he know that the team couldn't move? Don't expect the British governor to cross the country five kilometers with you, that's impossible, if you really have this level, the British would have conquered the world a long time ago, so that they would not be beaten like this by us, and even the war had to rely on the colonial troops. ”

Only then did everyone suddenly realize, and by the way, they despised them fiercely.

Now that Skorzny is nervous, there are still so many flaws in the team, and he is about to leave again, do you need to ask the Führer for some grace?

Ranke shook his head vigorously: "It doesn't have to be like this, not to mention whether the infiltrators you sent out can hide for so long, and then train you to turn the commando into a British unit, there will always be flaws, but time will not wait for us anymore - the Führer must have his considerations when he insists on time."
