Chapter 785: Recruit Base

For at least one thing, the Maginot Line seems a good fit as a training base for new recruits.

Because this not only solves the problem of food and shelter, but also saves time in building fortifications and defense lines...... The underground fortifications within the defense line can be fed and sheltered, and as soon as the troops are pulled out, there are pillboxes, barbed wire, trenches, and various field fortifications.

What is even more harmful is that when the instructor is teaching German recruits, he can also say to the recruits with arrogance: "Look at this line of defense under your feet, it was built by the French with 5 billion francs and more than ten years." Its only use is to provide us with a training ground. Of course, this is what the best soldiers of the Empire provide for us, and if you can't complete your training, you'll be a corpse in front of this line of defense instead of conquering it! ”

When Qin Chuan, Colonel Slain and others came out of the underground fortifications, they saw a group of recruits practicing outside.

Originally, Qin Chuan would not have any intersection with these trained recruits, and Qin Chuan and the others were just a few officers passing by.

At the same time, Qin Chuan and the others were not concerned about the recruits, they were discussing how to start reforming the Maginot Line while holding the map, and they didn't even notice the group of recruits who were training.

Suddenly, one of the recruits shouted, "Oh God. He's my brother! ”

"Lehman!" Someone whispered, "Isn't your brother a 'legendary sergeant'?" ”

"He's the 'Legendary Sergeant', and he's there!"

……

So the group of recruits immediately became a sensation, and the instructor, not knowing what was happening, shouted and ordered to be quiet.

"What happened?" Paul asked.

"Nothing, Colonel!" The instructor stepped forward and replied, "They must have mistaken the person, they said that the 'Legendary Sergeant' is here, and one of them even said that the 'Legendary Sergeant' is his brother!" ”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but turn his head to look at the recruits in surprise, and walked up a few steps: "Lehman, are you here?" ”

"It's really you!" Lehman couldn't control it anymore and got out of the crowd, and then hugged Qin Chuan excitedly: "Oh my God, I thought I was wrong, but I didn't expect it to be you!" ”

The recruits were in confusion again, and the instructor watched all this in amazement, and Colonel Paul replied, "They are not mistaken, Captain." He's the 'Legendary Sergeant'! ”

"Lehman, how are you doing at home?" Qin Chuan asked.

"They're all good!" Lehman replied, "Mom and Dad miss you and worry about you!" ”

Qin Chuan nodded, then patted Lehman on the shoulder and said, "You should go back to training, Lehman!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Lehman wiped away his tears, then stood up and saluted, turning back to the team in a standard military stance.

"Lieutenant Colonel!" The instructor stepped forward and saluted Qin Chuan, then glanced at the recruits and said, "They all admire you, if you can say a few words to them......"

"Of course!" Qin Chuan nodded.

After straightening his military uniform, Qin Chuan walked up to the recruits and said, "I think you all know that Lehman is my younger brother, so I don't think you will bully him, will you?" ”

The recruits burst into laughter.

"But ......" Qin Chuan's tone changed and said, "I'm not worried about this, because you are not facing your own comrades-in-arms, but enemies. Although we don't know who the enemy is, it could be the British, the Soviets, the Americans, and even the French......"

The recruits laughed again, because the French were more of a joke in their eyes, as if they were now standing on the Maginot Line.

Qin Chuan did not agree with their view.

"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "In your eyes, the French may be vulnerable, but you must know that they have at least fought on the battlefield, we have met the soldiers of the 'Fighting France' in Sicily, and there are also soldiers on the Gabès Line." Of course, we also have our own French soldiers......"

The recruits were amused.

"Whatever!" Qin Chuan said: "You must remember not to underestimate any enemy, because they are more experienced than any of you and have better marksmanship, unless this enemy is dead." ”

After a pause, Qin Chuan added, "Moreover, they don't care if your parents are some general, or if your brother is a 'legendary sergeant'. If you want to survive then, you will have to rely on yourselves, so ...... Listen carefully to the instructor and do every task or action he gives you, understand? ”

"Understood, sir!" The recruits responded loudly, and then applauded.

"Captain!" Qin Chuan turned to the instructor and handed over control to him again.

"Wonderful speech, Lieutenant Colonel!" The instructor stepped forward to hold Qin Chuan's hand, his expression was a little nervous: "I think, you have done me a great favor, because they are always disobedient, and from now on, I can ...... them Oh, have you forgotten what the 'Legendary Sergeant' said?! ”

"My pleasure!" Qin Chuan replied, then looked at Lehman's position again, nodded slightly, and then left

"So ......," said Colonel Slain, "your brother has been drafted into the army!" ”

"Yes!" Qin Chuan sighed.

This is not a good thing, although Qin Chuan has long had such a premonition...... After listening to Major General Treskov in Kiev talk about Hitler's expansion of the scope of his call-up, Qin Chuan knew that this was inevitable.

"Do you need me to transfer him to your troops?" Colonel Paul asked: "I can still do this, this is one of the benefits of the 79th Army!" ”

After thinking about it, Qin Chuan shook his head and said, "No, I don't think there is a need to do this!" ”

"Yes!" Slane nodded in agreement: "It's better not to do that!" ”

The reason is simple, the First Tier Corps is not an ordinary unit, and a recruit like Lehman will not only drag down others when he arrives in the First Tier Corps, but it is also not good for himself.

After being silent for a while, Qin Chuan turned his thoughts to the current issue.

"I think we have to make a suggestion to the Führer anyway, do you say yes, Colonel Paul?" The meaning of Qin Chuan's words couldn't be clearer, that is, let Paul tell Major General Tleskov, and then ask him to use his connections to transfer the situation to Hitler.

"Yes!" Colonel Paul nodded: "Since the Führer has signed this plan, then it is time for this plan to be carried out, so...... I'll report these up! ”

At the end, he added: "I hope to attract the attention of the Führer!" ”

Obviously, although Colonel Paul agreed with Qin Chuan's suggestion, he didn't think it would be useful.
