Of course, not all officers were as easy to get along with as Colonel Slane and General Stryker.

However, perhaps because Qin Chuan can always win on the battlefield, he feels that his commander is easy to get along with...... Officers and even soldiers like people who can bring them victory, after all, their lives are at stake, and for officers there are merits and something to show off in front of their peers.

Qin Chuan is the one who can give them victory, so of course they will get special preferential treatment.

There is a saying that "absolute power corrupts absolutely", and some officers will use the power in their hands to do unsavory things.

Colonel Conrad took a second lieutenant to Qin Chuan.

"Major!" Conrad said, "I want you to help this ensign!" ”

Qin Chuan glanced at the second lieutenant next to Conrad, he didn't like the way this second lieutenant cowered, this was not how a soldier should behave.

Later, Qin Chuan learned that he really couldn't be called a soldier, or a combat soldier as Qin Chuan understood.

"He doesn't look like he needs help!" Qin Chuan replied.

"His name is Biederman!" Conrad handed Qin Chuan a cigarette, raised his head at the second lieutenant, and said, "He is a weapons expert, a precision tool maker, and he studied weapons in the army, because I graduated from the same school as him, so I talked about it." You know, I like to go to the maintenance department and talk to the people there! ”

"Uh-huh!" Hearing this, Qin Chuan could understand why this second lieutenant was a "cowering" performance.

The battlefield is not only the soldiers who fought bravely on the front line, but also the soldiers who fought bravely on the front line, they are all important parts of the war machine, and sometimes a soldier like Biedman can also be said to be an irreplaceable asset, because a good soldier is easy to train, but a person like Biedman cannot be tossed without a few years of experience in learning and fiddling with ordnance.

"Is there anything I can do to help him?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Here's the thing!" Conrad said, "You know Major General Lex, right? ”

"No, I don't know!"

"God!" "He is the commander of Fort Kinov, including this helicopter base, which is under his jurisdiction!" ”

Qin Chuan let out an "oh", and then replied, "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with me!" ”

"Of course!" Conrad smiled: "You don't need to take these so-called major generals in your eyes, that's why I need your help!" ”

"You haven't said he's in any trouble, Colonel!"

"It's a small thing!" Conrad said: "He did not throw away his beloved pipe according to the general's orders!" ”

With that, Conrad raised his head at Biederman and gave Biederman the right to speak.

"Sir!" Biedman saluted in front of Qin Chuan, and then reported: "Yesterday I took a car into the city to look for urgently needed parts for the maintenance camp. Because the car was so crowded, I kept standing on the treadboard, and when I lit my pipe and smoked two puffs, I found General Lex not far in front of the car, and the general could not tolerate my leisurely smoking in front of him, which he considered an insult to him, so he stopped the car and ordered me to throw my pipe away......"

Conrad interjected, "He didn't do what the general ordered, because that pipe was his only sustenance in this boring, oppressive place, and he chose to knock the pipe on his boot and put it in his military pocket." And this move once again annoyed General Lex, who considered it a flagrant disobedience to his orders and an insult to him! ”

"I promise I don't mean to insult the general, I'm just not willing to throw away my pipe......"

"And then?" Qin Chuan asked.

"He was demoted and transferred to the front-line combat unit to become an infantryman, an infantry who fought on the front line!" Conrad replied.

So Qin Chuan understood that this Major General Lex wanted Biedman to disappear from this world...... Because it is clear that Biedman is not a combatant, he has not been trained to be sent to the front, and such a soldier will not survive on the front line for a few days, even at this time.

Some German officers did do this, deliberately sending non-combatants to their deaths because of a personal vendetta or a trivial matter, a practice they called "punitive transfers."

This practice is abhorrent in the military, because on the one hand, it makes no sense to put these non-combatants on the front line who are not trained to do so, and even drag them because they do not know what to do and always need to be protected.

On the other hand, this kind of "sending to death" behavior will also make the logistics units lose a lot of talent.

To put it simply, it is a different kind of execution.

What is even more serious is that the officers who carry out the "punitive transfer" are completely unaware of the fact that soldiers and units who can fight on the front line should be an honor, the best and most respectable group of people, and they use it as a place of execution to send violators here.

Such an approach would seriously undermine the morale and sense of honor of front-line combat units...... Because it will make them think that they are also fighting the enemy on the front line because of some kind of violation or punishment.

After thinking about it, Qin Chuan laughed: "Colonel, what do you think...... If I take Biederman, will he be able to live a few more days? ”

"Of course, Major!" Conrad replied.

"Why?" Qin Chuan said: "You must know that we are the first step corps, and we have always been on the most dangerous front line!" ”

"I know!" Conrad said, "But you're not going to use him like an infantryman, are you?" ”

Conrad is very smart, he has long seen through Qin Chuan's thoughts.

Qin Chuan nodded a little helplessly and replied, "Okay, Colonel." You're right, it seems that the First Infantry Corps does need to set up a maintenance department of its own, and I don't know if Second Lieutenant Biedman will be up to the task! ”

"I can guarantee that!" Conrad said, "Otherwise I wouldn't have saved him!" ”

"Thank you, sir!" Hearing this, Second Lieutenant Biedman couldn't help but be grateful, he shook Conrad's hand with emotion, saluted Qin Chuan properly, and said, "Sir, it's an honor to join the First Step. God, this has always been the troop ...... of my dreams"

"Huh?" Conrad said, "Biedman, you don't mean to make this mistake and use it as an excuse for me to help you join the First Legion!" ”

"No, of course not!" Biederman hurriedly explained.

His anxious appearance made Conrad and Qin Chuan laugh.
