"Wait?" Baudouin looked at Qin Chuan suspiciously: "Can I wait any longer?" Everyone knows that the Allies are about to attack, and we can't afford to wait any longer! ”

"Oh, Baudouin!" Qin Chuan said with a smile: "Did you fight the Allies or did you kill fewer Americans and British?" ”

Baudouin thought about it and felt that what Qin Chuan said was right, the French battalion was not established on the first day, the French battalion had been fighting the Allies on the Gabez Line for more than a year, and there were many people who died at their hands or they died at the hands of the Allies.

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

Baudouin nodded in agreement with Qin Chuan's statement.

The fact is indeed as Qin Chuan said, because it is not the first time that the so-called "ultimatum" under the French battalion has been attacked by "Fighting France".

"But ......," Baudouin glanced at Qin Chuan and said, "Who knows if the Germans will let us stay here forever by the hands of the Allies?" ”

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

This fear was also justified, since the Germans did not trust the French regiment, including the commander of Army Group B, Rommel.

The reason, as Rommel said before, that the French regiment was French, and by all accounts, they would be on the side of the Allies.

Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the Germans will order the French regiment to hold the front line until its total annihilation...... In this way, the Allies could be killed and wounded, and secondly, the hidden danger of the French regiment could be completely eliminated.

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

"Lieutenant Colonel!" Baudouin laughed, "I don't doubt your abilities, but you should know that even if you are a 'legendary sergeant', even if you have a lot of influence, there are still some things that are not under your control!" ”

"I'm not talking about my abilities, Baudouin!" Qin Chuan replied: "You are right, with my personal ability, it is indeed difficult to keep the French regiment...... It was about Germany and France, and if I tried to keep the French regiment, even I could be implicated! ”

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

Qin Chuan didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Why are you worried that Germany will keep you here forever by the hands of the Allies?" ”

"Trust!" Baudouin replied: "Because they don't believe us, because we are French!" ”

"That's right!" Qin Chuan spread his hands and said, "I may not have the ability to call for wind and rain, but I can influence their trust in the French regiment." ”

Qin Chuan was right, the reason why Rommel wanted Qin Chuan to have more contact with the French regiment was, in the final analysis, to enhance the credibility of the French regiment...... At this time, the relationship between the French regiment and the German army was delicate, and the more suspicious it was, the more it pushed the other side away from the other, and vice versa.

Of course, unreserved trust is also risky.

"Lieutenant Colonel!" Baudouin handed Qin Chuan a cigarette and said, "You seem to have a lot of confidence 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 of World War I were brave!" Qin Chuan said: "So they will have a kind of pride of victors, even though they have suffered heavy casualties on the battlefield!" ”

France fought too hard in World War I, with more than a million casualties, or one-fifth of the total casualties of the Entente, not counting the casualties in the French colonies.

But at the same time it became a source of pride for France, because they considered themselves the mainstay of the Entente and thought they had saved the whole world.

"But ......" Qin Chuan's words changed: "This time, I don't need to say more about how France is performing!" ”

"But what does that have to do with us?" Bodouan stood up suddenly, as if he was enraged by Qin Chuan's words.

"Look!" Qin Chuan waved his hand at Baudouin: "Even you can't withstand this huge contrast!" ”

Baudouin seemed to understand something, and sat back thoughtfully.

"That's all I have to say, Baudouin!" Qin Chuan said: "When a person shows self-esteem, there are two reasons, one is from self-confidence, and the other is from low self-esteem!" ”

Qin Chuan lit a cigarette in his mouth, and then continued: "During the First World War, the self-esteem of the French was the former, that is, it came from self-confidence. And this time, the self-esteem shown by the French is the latter, that is, it comes from low self-esteem......"

This is one of the reasons why de Gaulle behaved in a ridiculous, even bizarre, way of behaving in the Allies...... The so-called French sovereignty defended by de Gaulle is indeed what a sovereign state should have, but it is obviously not something that a government in exile or even a puppet can put forward after the death of the country.

"I think you've seen someone like that!" Qin Chuan continued: "I mean self-esteem that comes from low self-esteem, what will happen to them? They will put themselves on the moral high ground, ignoring your contributions and ignoring your helplessness...... Even if they had reluctantly succumbed, they even signed the surrender. But that doesn't stop them from digging up everything they've done to help their enemies and condemning you! ”

"No, they won't ......," Baudouin said, but his eyes betrayed him.

"Oh, really?" Qin Chuan smiled: "They must have promised you, but Baudouin...... Don't be so naïve, okay? Agreements are meant to be torn up, promises are meant to be betrayed, and you know the world. They make promises to you now just for profit, and in the future they will betray their promises for the same benefit! ”

Qin Chuan leaned back in his chair and said while spitting smoke: "Everything is a benefit, Baudouin, everything is a benefit!" You know that, but you're still caught up in your own beautiful fantasies! ”

Qin Chuan did not lie to Baudouin, the first thing the French did after the liberation was not to rebuild their homeland, but to liquidate those who had helped the Germans. These included women who were used as shields during the German occupation, who were dragged out into the streets with their shaved hair and stripped naked.

And the soldiers of the French regiment, themselves, as well as their families, were clearly within the scope of the liquidation.
