When Qin Chuan walked out of Baudouin's headquarters, it was already an hour later.

As soon as Qin Chuan cast his gaze on the empty sea, Annette's voice sounded next to him.

"I know what you're discussing!" "I can't wait to see what the results are!" ”

"Why?" Qin Chuan asked, "Do you want to know if we will become enemies?" ”

"No, Lieutenant Colonel!" Annette walked up and squeezed Qin Chuan as if it was cold from the sea breeze, and replied, "I wonder if I will become their enemy!" ”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but be stunned, he knew what this meant for Annette to give up, friends, comrades-in-arms, motherland, and so on.

However, it seems that this cannot be said completely, because of the origins of Annette, Baudouin, and even the entire French battalion...... They were all the children of wealthy merchants, and their families were still doing well with the Germans during the war, so this was the way they should go, and they didn't really have a choice.

"You're right, Annette!" Qin Chuan said: "You will understand this in the future, never give up!" ”

"I've always known this, my sergeant!" Annette laughed and looked at Qin Chuan with ** eyes: "And I never doubted it!" ”

At this time, Qin Chuan suddenly discovered that Baudouin was right, if Annette was not a woman, the commander of the French regiment should be her.

After talking to Annette for a while, Qin Chuan reluctantly said goodbye to her.

"You'll come to see me again, won't you?"

"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied: "As long as it's possible!" ”

"You promise!"

"I promise!"

……

This is the helplessness of the war, the two belong to different units and have different duties, even if they are not far apart, they have to separate.

It didn't take long for Qin Chuan to find Rommel, who was inspecting the fortifications with the drawings, because there was a staff officer with two guards waiting for Qin Chuan on the periphery of the French regiment.

Qin Chuan knew that this actually had two meanings:

First, he was worried that Qin Chuan would not be able to find Rommel and Colonel Slain.

This era is not like modern times, where everyone has a walkie-talkie, and you can also send a location and use a map to find people.

There are so many adults on the beach, and if you want to find each other after a few hours of separation, you have to ask all the way.

Another......

Qin Chuan thought that Rommel was worried that the French regiment might be unfavorable to Qin Chuan.

Rommel was very smart, and he vaguely felt that Qin Chuan might have some kind of "negotiation" with the French regiment when he went...... There is no point in this kind of "negotiation" with anyone else, including Rommel.

The reason is simple, because they are all Germans, and the words of the Germans will only be considered "crocodile tears" by the French regiment and cannot be communicated.

Of course, Qin Chuan's identity is also German, but he is different, he has won the trust of these French people before this, so it is possible to talk.

So in case the talks collapsed, Rommel was worried that the French regiment would kill Qin Chuan in order not to reveal the secret, so he arranged such a few people.

From this point of view, Rommel's mind is still very meticulous.

Colonel Slain didn't think about this aspect at all, he knew the relationship between Qin Chuan and Annette, so when he saw Qin Chuan, he asked in a low voice with a smile on his face: "How is the situation, Lieutenant Colonel, is everything going well?" ”

Rommel also couldn't wait to ask when he saw Qin Chuan: "Oh, Lieutenant Colonel, is everything going well?" ”

On the surface, there is no difference between the two sentences, but Qin Chuan knows that they are fundamentally different.

So Qin Chuan replied twice.

"All the best, Colonel!" Qin Chuan said: "Very lucky, Your Excellency Marshal, everything goes well!" ”

"So ......," Rommel said, "can we trust the French regiment?" ”

"I think so, Your Excellency!" Qin Chuan replied: "I just need you to give them a little more trust!" ”

Of course, Rommel understood what Qin Chuan meant.

In fact, Rommel had been thinking about this before...... The problem with the French regiment was not in combat effectiveness, they were a fairly decent unit, even stronger than many German units.

The problem is simply because they are French.

Rommel was in an awkward position: trust them, or distrust them?

Trust.

This meant that the French regiment had to be placed in a more important defensive position, and once the French regiment surrendered, it would have a very bad impact on the entire German defense line, and even cause a chain reaction and eventually lead to collapse.

Mistrust.

It meant forcing this force to surrender to the Allies.

So, it's a hot potato. In desperation, Rommel could only temporarily arrange it in the volunteer division...... At least from the point of view of foreign troops, the French regiment is indeed suitable to stay in the volunteer division, because the volunteer division is all foreign troops. But in terms of combat effectiveness, this is a very unreasonable arrangement.

"Good!" Rommel seemed to be satisfied with Qin Chuan's answer, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You helped me solve another problem, Lieutenant Colonel." We have one less hidden danger and one more helper! ”

As he spoke, Rommel turned his gaze to the map, and after looking at it for a while, he said to his staff officer: "Order the troops to give up the No. 5 defense area and exchange it for the French regiment!" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal!"

"One more point, Lieutenant Colonel!" Rommel raised his head and said to Qin Chuan: "I have heard something about you serving as an instructor of the French battalion, if you wish to transfer some of them to the 1st Infantry Regiment...... I wouldn't have an opinion! ”

Qin Chuan glanced at Colonel Slain.

Rommel was clearly referring to Annette by "certain people", and these were, of course, what Colonel Slein told Rommel.

Colonel Slain raised his eyebrows, as if to say, "Don't thank me!" ”

This is indeed very tempting for Qin Chuan, especially at this time.

But Qin Chuan thought about it and finally refused.

The reason is simple.

On the one hand, the 1st Infantry Regiment was not safe.

Of course, Qin Chuan can arrange an idle position for Annette, but Qin Chuan knows Annette, she will not want to be placed there like a vase.

More importantly, there is another reason:

Because of the relationship between the German army and the French regiment, a kind of trust that seems to exist has just been established...... This relationship of trust was still fragile, and the French regiment still feared that the Germans would use the Allies to wipe them out completely

At this time, Qin Chuan was in a hurry to transfer Annette away, although this transfer had nothing to do with the trust between the German army and the French regiment. But the officers and men of the French regiment, who were at a life-and-death juncture, would not think so.

To put it simply, Annette's continued stay in the French regiment would make them feel more at ease.

So, it's the best option.
