First of all, thank you for your support to the soldiers, there is nothing to say, continue to work hard to update and express your gratitude with more and better articles.

Secondly...... I still have to apologize, this chapter takes you to the ditch. There is foreshadowing ahead, I don't know if anyone has found out.

"I know!" Qin Chuan replied: "It's not a good way, but do we have any other options?" ”

"The problem is that we can't get close, Lieutenant Colonel!" Schuster said, "How do we get there? Boat? Submarine? Or an airplane? You must know that this is Dover, if the Allies build a fake military base there, it will definitely be heavily protected, and our vehicles will not be able to get close to us at all! ”

"Since that 'Matt' can swim over there, then we can definitely swim there!" Qin Chuan said.

"You're right, Lieutenant Colonel!" "But he didn't come from Dover," replied, "and it took twenty hours......

"What are your plans?" Rommel interrupted Schuster.

"First of all, I want to know the range of their warships!" Qin Chuan replied.

Rommel turned his gaze to Colonel Schuster, who immediately took a pen and paper and sketched it, saying, "This is the strait between Dover and Calais, with a total width of 34 kilometres. THE WARSHIPS AND PATROL SHIPS OF THE BRITISH GENERALLY OPERATE IN THE SEA AREA 15 KILOMETERS FROM DOVER, THE REASON IS THAT WE HAVE 5 280MM CALIBER SHORE DEFENSE GUNS IN CALAIS, WHICH HAVE A RANGE OF 20 KILOMETERS, WHICH WILL POSE A GREAT THREAT TO WARSHIPS! ”

"What about at night?" Qin Chuan asked again.

"At night their patrol range will be wider, up to 20 kilometers!" Colonel Schuster replied: "But no ships, including submarines, can pass through their blockade, because we tried!" ”

"I know, Colonel Schuster!" Qin Chuan replied: "But you must not have tried divers!" ”

"Divers may be able to do it!" Colonel Schuster said: "But the divers only carry enough oxygen cylinders for a maximum of one hour!" ”

Qin Chuan also understands this, there is no special frogman unit at this time, so the diving equipment is all civilian, and the diving time is relatively short.

(The first to use diving to carry out reconnaissance should be the U.S. military, which used divers to reconnoiter the hydrology of relevant sea areas in the Pacific War)

"We don't dive all the time!" Qin Chuan replied: "And we can also modify a small thruster like 'Mart', and we can bring a few more oxygen cylinders on the small thruster!" ”

"This might be the solution!" Rommel said: "But you can't do it in twelve hours, and when it gets dark, you'll be spotted by the Maritime Patrol!" ”

"It doesn't take us twelve hours to get to our destination!" Qin Chuan drew a median line on the English Channel on the sketch and said, "Because we start from here, that is, from the center!" ”

"How is that possible?" Rommel said, "How can you get from here?" Any vehicle is discovered by the enemy! ”

"Helicopter!" Qin Chuan replied.

Rommel couldn't help but be stunned, then nodded slightly.

Helicopters are a great option to fly at low altitude at night to reach a designated area without being detected by radar, and then the commandos can jump from the helicopter and jump into the sea.

In this way, at least half of the time can be saved, and if the thrusters are fast, they can reach their destination in less time.

"Great idea!" After thinking about it, Rommel nodded and said: "The radar of the Allied fleet can scan submarines, planes, and can see ships, but not divers at the bottom of the sea!" ”

"But......" Colonel Slain asked, confused, "I wonder how they will come back after they finish their mission?" ”

Qin Chuan was silent, and Rommel did not speak.

Then Colonel Slein understood, he shook his head and said, "No, it's not a good idea!" ”

The answer is obvious, there is no safe way to return at all, because it is England, it is an island.

There is only one way to return, from the sea.

But it is almost impossible to return from the sea...... Britain and the United States had huge navies, and German warships and submarines couldn't even enter the English Channel, let alone Dover to save people.

It is also unrealistic to return by diving, not to mention that the British will not give them this opportunity to return to the shore, and they will not be able to carry so many oxygen cylinders.

So, it's like the U-827 submarine performing a reconnaissance of the Edinburgh military base, a one-way mission.

"Have you decided, Lieutenant Colonel?" Rommel asked.

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied.

Sometimes some sacrifice is necessary in order to give the troops a strategic advantage.

Qin Chuan understood this, and Rommel also understood.

"There's one thing I would never agree to!" Rommel said to Qin Chuan: "You can't lead the team in this operation!" ”

In fact, there is no need for Rommel to say that Qin Chuan also knows.

So Qin Chuan felt a little guilty about his subordinates.

If he could, Qin Chuan didn't even want his own troops to carry out this mission, but with the quality of these troops of Rommel in France...... Simply not competent for such a special operation.

So, the plan soon unfolded.

First of all, it is necessary to transfer the first step corps in the shortest possible time.

In fact, it is not necessary to transfer the entire regiment, only one of the battalions...... Their train had just arrived in Berlin.

As soon as Rommel gave the order, he arranged for several transport planes to operate directly to the Maginot Line, and then from the Maginot Line to Paris in the dark of night by helicopter for training.

On the other hand, it is necessary to prepare diving equipment.

Other diving equipment is easy to solve, diving suits and other ready-made ones, and Rommel even made a special trip from the Navy to transfer ten experienced divers from the submarine to prepare for the commando training.

The hard thing to solve is the underwater propulsion.

At this point, you have to ask the spy "Matt" who has modified it and used it himself.

Actually, it's not that difficult.

Because it is used underwater, it must be electric...... Gasoline engines and diesel engines both need air, so they cannot work in water.

To put it simply, a battery drives a propeller to rotate.

The danger lies in the protection around the propeller, otherwise the sharp, high-speed rotating blades and the water flow can easily injure the person driving it.

These can be easily solved at the level of German industry, and this underwater propulsion can be produced in a short time.

Not only that, but it is said that it will also increase its speed and load capacity exponentially, which means that it can completely realize the idea of bringing a few more oxygen cylinders as Qin Chuan said.

What Qin Chuan has to worry about is thinking over and over again whether he can bring these subordinates back.

But no matter how hard Qin Chuan tries, he tries all kinds of methods from all angles, but there is no way to get the best of both worlds.
