Qin Chuan will know that this method is of course not that he is smart, but that he knows that this is how the Germans in history finally solved this problem.

It's just that by the time they found this solution and successfully developed the "target aircraft", it was already the end of the war.

Now, Qin Chuan has obviously advanced it.

Qin Chuan didn't know what kind of impact this would have on Germany, he only knew that North Africa needed it now to give the allies in North Africa a little deterrent.

Prior to this, Rommel intended to let the troops make some moves, such as letting submarines appear in Maltese waters from time to time, or reconnaissance planes to reconnoiter the island of Malta.

However, this kind of action of "brushing up on the sense of existence" obviously failed to attract the attention of the British and US military...... The Germans could hardly threaten the Allies, especially the island of Malta, so the British and American forces did not pay attention to it at all.

This is the embarrassment of the German army, because of the huge disparity in strength, even if Rommel stands up and shouts that tomorrow there will be a counterattack on all fronts, no one will believe it, but will take it as a joke.

Originally, Qin Chuan thought that it would be enough to wait for Colonel Conrad to hand over the developed "target aircraft" to the Afrika Korps for use, but he didn't expect to receive Rommel's order a few days later.

"Captain!" Rommel said as he reviewed the documents: "Colonel Conrad just called and spoke! ”

"Oh!"

"I'm talking about the 'target plane'!"

"Is something wrong?" Qin Chuan asked.

"No!" Rommel stopped what he was doing, looked up and said, "They think that Algeria is more suitable as a launch base than Sicily!" ”

Qin Chuan nodded in agreement.

Although Sicily is full of mountains and it is easier to hide "target aircraft", without strategic depth, it will be attacked by British and American bombers and even fighter planes at any time, which is not conducive to the "target aircraft" to give full play to the advantage of a long range of 250 kilometers (Malta is only 90 kilometers away from the nearest part of Sicily)

Algeria and Tunisia are different, and there are many options for the base of the "target aircraft", and it is also possible to test its extreme range in preparation for the bombing of the British island in the future.

"On the other hand!" Rommel continued: "Conrad thinks it would be best to continue the development of the 'target aircraft' in Algeria, because the reason is to adapt the 'target aircraft' to the Algerian terrain and air currents to ensure that it will not have too much trouble when it is put into battle in the future!" ”

There is no problem with this, and this problem has also been considered in the development of "target aircraft" in history, but of course the base cannot be located on the north coast of France, that would be too obvious. Therefore, Germany chose a city called "Pennemünde" in the Baltic Sea as a research base, where the "target aircraft" could adapt to the sea currents as soon as possible.

Of course, because the "target aircraft" at this time was proposed according to the needs of the North African battlefield, it should first be adapted to the desert climate, so that it is easier to find out what unexpected problems it will have in the desert.

It's just that...... Qin Chuan didn't know what this had to do with him.

"R&D personnel need guards!" Rommel explained: "You know, they can't, they don't have to bring guards from Berlin. At the same time, those guards who have no experience in desert warfare may not even be able to protect themselves! ”

So Qin Chuan understood that this time he was doing the guard's business.

Sure enough, Rommel shrugged his shoulders and said, "Conrad has designated your troops." He thinks you might be able to give him some valuable advice while keeping them safe! And you have experience with that, don't you? The last time the oil exploration team was well protected! ”

"Yes, General!"

"You have to pay attention, Captain!" Rommel said: "We noticed that the Free France had infiltrated Algeria with the French guerrillas, you know, there were a lot of French people in Algeria and Tunisia, and they still had considerable influence there! ”

"Yes, General!"

"Finally!" Rommel said: "I want you to understand that the 'target plane' is our top secret!" ”

"I understand, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "I will do a good job of confidentiality!" ”

"No!" Rommel stared at Qin Chuan's eyes, shook his head slightly and said, "You don't really understand!" ”

"What?"

"I mean......" Rommel explained, "you can't get any developers, no one ...... Fall into the hands of the enemy alive, understand? ”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, and then stepped forward and replied, "Understood, General!" ”

Rommel nodded, handed Qin Chuan a document, and said, "This is the details of your mission, you can read it carefully on the plane!" ”

A quarter of an hour later, Qin Chuan and his entourage got on the "Caproni" transport plane...... "Junkers 52" transport plane is relatively rare for the Afrika Korps, and is only used under special circumstances.

Qin Chuan's company had a total of 128 people at this time, and each "Caproni" could carry 18 people, and there were 2 more people on 7 planes, and these 2 people were forced into the cabin.

"Hey!" Werner asked the Italian pilot in the seat with some concern: "There won't be any problems with this, right?" I mean, you planes are starting to groan! ”

Alfredo relayed Werner's concerns to the Italian pilot, who burst out laughing.

"What do they mean?" Werner asked.

"They said ......," Alfredo explained, "they crammed up to 25 people into the cabin!" ”

"So can it still fly?" Werner asked.

"That's what I asked!" Alfredo said, "What do you say they answer?" ”

"How do you answer?"

"It's no problem to dismantle the machine gun!" Alfredo said: "Or not hang the bullets!" ”

"God!" "That is...... If we encounter an interception by an enemy fighter, we will not even have the ability to defend ourselves? ”

"Oh, Sergeant!" Alfredo laughed: "Do you think there will be a difference between this kind of transport aircraft with a machine gun and without a machine gun?" ”

There was a laugh from the German soldiers in the cabin, and Werner couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Alfredo was right, the maximum speed of 280 kilometers per hour, which is like a snail in front of the Spitfire fighters with a maximum speed of more than 600 kilometers per hour of the British army, and the machine guns are simply redundant.

"So, Captain!" When the plane took off with a "buzzing" sound, the baker held his helmet and asked Qin Chuan: "Where are we going this time?" ”

"Secret Mission!" Qin Chuan replied: "Although you will know what the task is, it is better not to know anything!" ”
