Chapter 369: Battlefield Syndrome
"Thank you for all you have done for us, Captain!" When everything stabilized, Benois said to Qin Chuan with a grateful face: "I don't know how to thank you, but Antoine, this kid ......"
As he spoke, Benois let out a long sigh.
Then Benois became nervous again: "Captain, you won't tell me about it, will you!" ”
"Maybe I should!" Qin Chuan said.
"No, no, don't!" Benois sent to kneel down to Qin Chuan: "Antoine is just an ignorant child......"
"It's useless to say this, Mr. Benoit!" Qin Chuan said, "Do you think they will bother with this?" ”
"Captain, what should I do?" "Anything I can do......"
"Mr. Benois!" Qin Chuan said with some annoyance: "You should know that anything you can do, I can easily do it, and even uproot you from here!" ”
"You won't, will you?" Vynet appeared in the doorway.
Qin Chuan did not answer.
After a pause, Qin Chuan took off his hat from the hanger and put it on himself, and said, "I have to go!" ”
Winette nodded slightly, then stepped out of the way.
"Captain!" Benois hurried out.
"Don't worry, Dad!" "The captain won't say it!" ”
"Why don't you keep him?" Benois asked Vignette in a reproachful tone.
"Because he can't stay here!" "Antoine will find an opportunity to kill him, you know the consequences!" ”
Benois gritted his teeth, and then angrily walked into the upstairs room.
Then the room rang out with Benoit's angry roar: "Do you know what you're doing?" You're going to kill us all! ”
"Of course I know what I'm doing!" Antoine replied: "I'm doing the right thing!" ”
"The right thing to do is to kill us all? Your father, your mother, and your sister? She even took your place in the army and just got home! ”
"It's better than having you serve the Germans, isn't it?"
"Oh, is it? So what your sister said is true! Benois said, "You're going to kill the captain, are you?" ”
"Of course!"
"Why?" "He's let you go, let us all go!" ”
"Because he's a 'legendary sergeant'!"
Of course Qin Chuan knows this, this is war, when you win victory after victory on the battlefield and become a hero of your own side, you will naturally become a thorn in the enemy's side.
Antoine is his own enemy, and from this point of view, Qin Chuan cannot be soft, because being merciful to the enemy is cruelty to himself.
But Qin Chuan couldn't do it, so the reason goes without saying...... The Germans did not trust the French, so this was not Antoine's problem alone, Antoine would not be spared the entire Benois family, even the housekeepers and servants, including Vinet, of course.
Is it because of feelings for Vignette?
Not exactly.
A member of the French battalion of Venette, Qin Chuan didn't want the rhythm and soldiers he had worked so hard to bring out the French battalion to suffer a blow because of this...... What would they think if they knew that Vignette was arrested for being implicated? You must know that Vignette is a soldier who fought for the German army on the battlefield, and what German soldier would fall into this fate because of his family's involvement?!
Under his leadership, Algeria's industry and commerce continued to develop steadily, and even attracted merchants from the Vichy government to Algeria...... What would the French merchants do if they saw that Benoit, who had stood firmly in the German army from the beginning to the end, would eventually die?
Qin Chuan walked down the street where it was still drizzling, lit a cigarette, and then suddenly found that he had nowhere to go.
Back to the barracks?
Everyone, including Colonel Slain, knew that he was out with Vignette, so how could he explain that he came back alone so soon?
After thinking about it, Qin Chuan walked into a hotel on the side of the road.
When the people in the hotel saw Qin Chuan coming in, they immediately stood up respectfully.
"Is there a room?" Qin Chuan asked.
"Yes, of course, sir!" The innkeeper, a Frenchman, replied with some surprise.
"How much?" Qin Chuan took out the two 500 francs he had just issued.
"No, no money, sir!" The innkeeper replied: "We will arrange the best room for you!" ”
So Qin Chuan got the best room, although what they said was the best...... Referring to nothing more than a bathroom and a black-and-white TV full of snowflakes and noise.
But it's a great thing to have a black-and-white TV in this era, especially in Africa.
The first thing Qin Chuan did was take a shower and hide in the damp environment of the tunnel for more than a week, making him as slimy as if he had been fished out of the mud, and it also smelled stinky.
Of course, Qin Chuan has always kept his pistol within his reach...... Antoine's case reminded him that Algiers was not safe for Germans, especially a German officer.
As soon as he changed into pajamas, Qin Chuan heard a knock outside the door.
"Who?" Qin Chuan asked.
"Your dinner, sir!"
"I didn't call for dinner!"
"Oh, it's for you from Mr. Octave!"
"Octave?" Qin Chuan didn't remember that he knew such a person, so he unconsciously picked up his pistol.
"Yes, Mr. Octave, he has made a chicken soup for you!"
"Leave it outside the door!" Qin Chuan hid by the door and responded, "Then you can leave!" ”
"Yes, sir!"
After waiting for a while and not seeing any movement outside, Qin Chuan cautiously opened the door and saw that there was no one outside, so he brought the food in.
Well, as if a little nervous, there was a hot chicken soup on the tray, plus a few pieces of toast and a delicate fruit platter.
Then Qin Chuan hesitated again...... Could it be poisoning?
"Damn Antoine!" Qin Chuan couldn't help but scold, this guy made himself feel like he was a soldier.
In the next second, Qin Chuan couldn't hold back, grabbed the toast and stuffed it into his mouth...... At first, it was just a small bite, and then it quickly couldn't help but gobble it up.
While eating, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, accompanied by a voice: "It's him, I'm sure it's right!" ”
Qin Chuan hurriedly rolled around, grabbed the gun, and lay under the bed, then raised the gun and aimed it at the door.
Then there was a knock at the door: "Captain, I'm Octave, from the French battalion!" ”
Only then did Qin Chuan remember that there seemed to be indeed a man named Octave in the French camp.
"Fuck it!" Qin Chuan couldn't help but curse when he looked at the chicken soup that had been beaten all over the place, he should have guessed this from the chicken soup a long time ago, because his chicken stealing was even more widespread than the "legendary sergeant".
