"Of course!" Qin Chuan continued: "This also requires us to standardize the discipline of soldiers, such as not doing things such as harming the people or looting the people's property, based on which we can get the support of the African people, and with their support, we can get a lot of unexpected help......

"I don't think it's any use, Sergeant!" Colonel Albridge said: "The most important thing in desert warfare is the tank, and even if there are many people in front of the tank, there is only one possibility of being crushed into the flesh, even if it is a well-trained German soldier, let alone those who live in Africa!" ”

Colonel Albridge's view was actually expected by Qin Chuan, and many Germans in this era fell into a fanatical racist ideology, believing that the German nation was the best nation and that other inferior nations should be eliminated, so that the German nation would have more room to survive.

Colonel Albridge clearly had a tendency to do this, and at the same time he believed too much in the combat effectiveness of tanks.

"That's what I'm talking about, Colonel!" Qin Chuan explained: "What I mean by mobilizing the power of the masses is not for them to face the tanks of the British, or to organize a force like the British formed a colonial army...... I also believe that it is not very useful, as can be seen from the combat effectiveness of the South African 1st Division, which we have spent a lot of effort to organize a unit with even the little equipment left, but this force may be even more unbearable than the Italian army! ”

There is no doubt about this, and there are many reasons, such as African disunity, laziness, low level of education, etc., which can make it difficult for them to become a qualified soldier, and even if there are some exceptions, it would be surprising to form an army.

"And what do you think, Sergeant?" Rommel asked, "If we can't build an army, what help can we get?" ”

"Guerrillas, General!" Qin Chuan said: "They are Africans and even Egyptians, they can easily sneak into Port Said, Cairo or other cities, and then destroy roads, blow up warehouses, assassinate, or provide us with intelligence, etc., all we need is a little training for them!" ”

Hearing this, the officers couldn't help but be silent, because of course this is also in the interests of the Afrika Korps, and it can even be said that the Afrika Korps urgently need it, because as Rommel said before, the loss of British resources is equivalent to the increase in the resources of the German army, and all the Germans need to do is distribute the British equipment they don't need and send a team of instructors to train them.

"I don't believe them!" After a pause, Colonel Albridge said: "Egypt is a colony of the British, and the British have even used them to form an army, if we send down the weapons and equipment and train them, will they turn their guns on us in the end?" ”

"Look at Alexander, Colonel!" "That's the best example," Rommel said, "Egypt is indeed a colony of the British, but the British have been controlling and squeezing Egypt, and they desperately want to get rid of the British, so that's our advantage!" ”

Rommel then added: "I think we should take the sergeant's advice, because it is reasonable and interconnected." What's more, the benefits are likely to be large at a very low cost...... In that case, why don't we give it a try? ”

"Yes, General!"

"I agree, General!"

Colonel Albridge was obviously a little reluctant, as it seemed to be working with the Africans, but finally nodded and said, "I have no opinion, General!" ”

The battlefield is a very realistic place, as long as it is in their own interests, as professional soldiers, they know what to choose.

The general direction was thus determined, and then a detailed implementation plan was formulated.

Rommel divided these ideas into several pieces.

Rommel himself was in charge of the rectification of military discipline.

The German army was not a problem in this regard, they themselves had gendarmes to maintain military discipline, and the discipline of the German army had always been very good, which was also the source of their combat effectiveness.

But when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and under the pressure of war, it is inevitable that there will be traitors...... The German army usually turns a blind eye to these things, and now it is time to find out these black sheep and give the people justice in order to set the record straight.

The bigger problem, of course, was the Italian army.

The Italian army was not good at war, but it was good at showing off its might in front of the people, especially when they invaded the territory of Egypt, and they acted arbitrarily against the people as conquerors...... There were even soldiers who broke into people's homes and looted gold and other valuables on a large scale.

In other words, it is not uncommon for the German army to fight and advance in front, and the Italian army to collect civilians and even cause casualties in the back.

Rommel didn't want to bother with these things before, after all, Italy was his ally, and the Egyptians were in principle his enemies.

But now......

Rommel immediately issued an order for the Italian army to hand over all the looted property to the people.

Moreover, Rommel was also clever at this time, and he gave this order by radio, so that the Egyptian people in Alexandria were the first to get the news and rejoice.

The Italian army, of course, was not willing to "subdue" like this...... If you bring this gold back to China, you will make a fortune, how can you hand it over so easily. At the same time, they thought that the Germans were just talking, and as the Allies, what else could they do with the Italian army?

Unexpectedly, Rommel acted very simply, and led his troops to surround the Italian military camp without doing anything, and then led his troops to break into the camp and search......

The German soldiers were all fighting from the battlefield one by one, and the Italian soldiers dared to do anything to them, so at the sound of an order, truckloads of gold, jade and other things were transported out.

Although this is only part of the story, and it is very cumbersome to claim, Rommel has achieved his goal.

Rommel then even sent patrols to patrol the streets and alleys, and if they found any oppressive behavior, they tied them up and put them in prison, even among the German soldiers.

As a result, the prestige of the German army increased overnight, and the people were willing to seek help from the German army for anything.

And this is only the first step in Qin Chuan's plan.

Qin Chuan believes that after these plans are implemented step by step, the whole situation will soon be different.
