"But it's all worth it!" Qin Chuan said.

"Hopefully it's worth it!" Colonel Slein said, "But it's up to General Rommel to decide!" ”

So Colonel Slein sent Qin Chuan's idea to Rommel by secret telegram.

Rommel didn't reply, and then in the evening, Rommel's plane suddenly landed near the camp...... Rommel stepped out of the plane alone and walked into Colonel Slain's office in a flurry of salutes from the guards.

When Qin Chuan walked into Colonel Slain's office again, he saw Rommel and Colonel Slain talking in a whisper.

Seeing Qin Chuan come in, Rommel raised his head while flipping through the documents in his hand and said, "Captain, it's a good plan, but we need to discuss the details further!" ”

So Qin Chuan knew that Rommel was in favor of Qin Chuan's idea.

"I need to solve a few problems, Captain!" Rommel stopped what he was doing and looked at Qin Chuan: "When we release the news that we have found oil seedlings, it almost means forcing the British to attack." On land, we have the Gabez line and tunnel fortifications, and the British may not be able to do anything with us. But the sea ...... We can only barely organize one more campaign so far, and if the British launch a full-scale attack from the sea, we will be finished, how do you solve this problem? ”

"We don't tell the Führer the truth!" Qin Chuan replied.

Rommel and Colonel Slain were stunned when they heard this.

"What do you mean?" Colonel Slein asked, "Are you talking about the fear of leaks?" ”

"This also has nothing to do with our maritime defense!" Rommel said with a straight face.

"Of course it does!" Qin Chuan replied: "General, if we told the Führer the same thing, that is, to find oil seedlings in Africa, what do you think the Führer would do?" ”

Rommel couldn't help but be stunned, then nodded and replied: "We will get reinforcements, we will get more fuel, and we will even get air support!" ”

"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "If we get this, and we have the Toulon fleet and the 'close-up fuse shells', do we still need to worry about the British naval attack?" The Führer will even send submarines to assist us in our defense! ”

"But this is a deception of the Führer!" Colonel Slein said, "What if we don't find oil in the end? ”

"Colonel!" Rommel replied: "If we don't find oil, we're done!" ”

After a pause, Rommel added: "So, the difference is only ...... Do we die at the hands of the British or at the hands of our own! ”

Colonel Slain was speechless.

This is also the reason why Qin Chuan dared to put forward this opinion, Rommel was an adventurous person, and Qin Chuan knew that Rommel would choose to take risks.

But Rommel also knew in his heart that things were not as terrible as he said...... If you can find oil, it is best to solve all problems.

If oil is not found, it is used as an excuse that there is not necessarily oil under the oil seedlings. In short, as long as the battle is won, Hitler will not do anything to him.

The premise is ......

"Only the three of us are allowed to know about this, understand?" Rommel said.

"Yes, General!" Colonel Slane and Qin Chuan replied.

After a pause, Colonel Slain asked Rommel, "General, what about the exploration team?" ”

"None of them can leave Africa!" Rommel said: "At the same time, there must be no contact with the outside world!" ”

Colonel Slain nodded: "I'll pass the news to the First Infantry Corps first, what they know is that we came here temporarily because of the oil seedlings in the Timlage Basin!" ”

"Good!" Rommel said: "I will send a telegram to the Führer, the oil seedlings are because ......"

"Dig a well!" As he spoke, Slane turned his gaze to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan added: "The sappers were building a radar station in the Timlage Basin and digging wells nearby, and as a result, black water came out, so all the explorers urgently moved here!" ”

"I'll arrange for sappers to dig a well!" Colonel Slane said.

Rommel added: "Get some more oil, understand? ”

"Understood!" Colonel Slane nodded.

Rommel patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder, and then walked out of the command headquarters, and with the sound of a motor, the plane flew north from the command window.

"Captain!" Colonel Slein said, "We better pray that we will find oil!" ”

Colonel Slain was worried about deceiving Hitler, but it is no wonder, after all, Hitler is the last person to be provoked in this era.

However, Colonel Slain's men moved quickly, and that night he organized sappers to try to drill a well near the exploration site. Of course, this is just an attempt, and digging a well in a desert area does not necessarily produce water, and even if it does, it may not be drinkable...... Groundwater pumped out of the desert is often salty.

But Colonel Slein was clearly not concerned with that.

Then, on the third day of digging the well, the sappers were surprised to find some black muddy water at the bottom of the well, with a pungent smell of oil.

"See what we found?" The sapper who came out of the well with a bucket of "black sand" excitedly shouted to the exploration team: "This may be the oil you are looking for!" ”

Without saying a word, several members of the exploration team rushed over, grabbed the handful of sand and sniffed it, and their eyes lit up immediately.

"Hey, it's oil, oil! We found it! ”

Soon, the whole exploration team went crazy, and a group of people shouted and jumped, shouting over and over again: "We found it, we found it, here is oil!" ”

Professor Buckhouse just took the map and looked at it, then walked to Qin Chuan's side and whispered, "Captain, you chose the location of the well!" ”

Qin Chuan smiled and acquiesced.

Qin Chuan knew that Professor Buckhouse would see this, because if he wanted to fool the other exploration members, he would have to drill the well in the anticline.

And in the German army, it seems that only Qin Chuan knows about anticline and oblique.

"You know what?" Professor Buckhouse whispered, "You're embarrassing me! ”

"Why?"

"Because if you find oil seedlings, it means that you don't have to explore!" Buckhouse raised his head at the well: "It's time for us to set up a well and drill there!" ”

"Then drill!" Qin Chuan replied: "After all, oil seedlings were found there, aren't they?" ”

Buckhouse was speechless on the spot.

But Professor Buckhouse had no choice, because it was about the military's actions.

Qin Chuan on the other side was secretly proud in his heart...... What Professor Buckhouse didn't know was that although the oil seedlings were fake, the oil fields underneath were real.

I wonder what Professor Buckhouse will be surprised when the drill bit drills out the oil.
