Chapter 787: The Hunting Ground

Qin Chuan didn't worry too much about the next thing, after all, it was not difficult to operate, Paul only needed to reveal Lieutenant General Lu Manlin's whereabouts and work habits to the French partisans through his intelligence network or Major General Treskov's connections...... The Germans had sufficient capacity in this regard, because the Germans still occupied the entire territory of France, and the intelligence work against the French partisans was never interrupted.

Qin Chuan went to find Lehman in his spare time and brought him some chocolates.

"How's Mom's illness?" Qin Chuan asked.

"They're all good!" Lehman replied: "Colonel Koch has some medicine brought in every month, and my mother's condition is much better!" Plus, he gave us double the ration card! ”

"Good!" Qin Chuan replied, feeling a little ashamed in his heart, because it took him a moment to remember that Colonel Koch was the director of the Security Bureau who had made counterfeit banknotes with him.

"Colonel Koch said to me!" Lehman continued: "If I run into you, I apologize to him on your behalf!" ”

"Why?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Colonel Koch is trying to exempt me from military service!" Lehman replied, "But he can't!" ”

Qin Chuan let out an "oh" and replied, "It's not his fault!" ”

"Actually, I think that's good!" Then Lehman said excitedly to Qin Chuan: "I have become a soldier like you, this is what I have always hoped for......"

"Lehman!" Qin Chuan interrupted Lehman's words: "Don't think about the battlefield too easily, understand?" ”

"Yes, of course!" Lehman replied.

But Qin Chuan saw the opposite answer on Lehman's wistful face.

Qin Chuan knew why, Lehman wanted to become another "legendary sergeant", just like other recruits, they who had not experienced the horrors of the battlefield would always have a beautiful heroic dream, imagining that they would kill all sides on the battlefield with a gun and then return to their hometown like Qin Chuan......

What they didn't know was that the reason why Qin Chuan was able to get to where he is today was because he had something they didn't have and couldn't have.

But Qin Chuan was a little helpless about this situation, and could only repeatedly tell Lehman to deal with it carefully.

When Qin Chuan took the jeep back to the headquarters...... The headquarters was set up in several private houses not far from Lieutenant General Lu Manlin's villa, which was arranged by Lieutenant General Lu Manlin, after all, Qin Chuan and the others were indeed not suitable for living in the underground fortifications of the Maginot Line, where the ventilation system in many places was paralyzed, and the air was very stuffy and smelly.

On the way, a team of horses jumped out of the villa, with more than 20 horses, followed by several servants, each holding five or six golden retrievers who kept barking...... European aristocrats like to take these golden-haired dogs with them when they hunt, and they are trained to find and bring back the injured or killed prey in the hunting grounds.

Qin Chuan stopped the car and planned to let them go first, but several of the horses went straight to the jeep, and when he looked closely, Qin Chuan found that it was Lieutenant General Lu Manlin who was the leader.

"Hey, Lieutenant Colonel!" Lieutenant General Lu Manlin was dressed in a knight's uniform, he skillfully manipulated the horses under him to run to the jeep and stopped, and then said to Qin Chuan: "I was about to look for you, they all said that you are a famous sniper, we all want to see your marksmanship, join us!" ”

"No, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "I still have a lot of things to do, you know, the Maginot Plan is a tricky problem!" ”

Lieutenant General Lu Manlin couldn't help laughing: "Of course I know, Lieutenant Colonel!" But there should also be entertainment time after work, right? ”

As he spoke, he waved back, and someone handed Qin Chuan a brand-new sniper rifle and three leather bullet boxes...... Three cartridges were standard for German infantry, each cartridge could hold three rows of five-round magazines, and three cartridges contained 45 rounds.

"Come on, Lieutenant Colonel!" Lieutenant General Lu Manlin said: "This is the best sniper rifle I can find!" ”

Qin Chuan took a look, the rifle was indeed very handy, different from ordinary rifles in that it had a bit of cool black, and a leather cheek guard was added to the butt...... This thing may not seem useful in normal times, but it is quite useful in the cold winter of the Soviet Union, because when aiming at a target, the cheek needs to be attached to the butt, and in extreme cases, the face will be frozen on it.

"It's yours!" As he spoke, Lieutenant General Lu Manlin adjusted his horse's head and led the others towards the hunting ground like knights on an expedition.

Lieutenant General Lu Manlin was very smart, and he did not explicitly say that the gun was a quid pro quo...... If he said it, Qin Chuan might choose to refuse, because Lieutenant General Lu Manlin also knew very well that neither Qin Chuan nor Colonel Slain liked to be in his company, which he understood when they met on the first day.

But now......

Qin Chuan couldn't resist the temptation of this sniper rifle on the one hand, the sniper rifle that Qin Chuan had used for more than a year and nearly two years, and the performance in all aspects was almost smoothed out, but now there was such a well-made sniper rifle delivered to him, how could he not be moved?!

On the other hand, Lu Manlin didn't say anything about the exchange, so Qin couldn't refuse, and at the same time, Qin Chuan was embarrassed to take this sniper rifle for nothing.

More importantly...... Qin Chuan couldn't help but feel the urge to try the gun after taking it.

So, after hesitating for a while, Qin Chuan motioned for the driver to follow.

The hunting ground was only two miles from the villa, and in a few minutes the group arrived at their destination.

After entering the hunting grounds, Lieutenant General Lu Manlin led a group of people to gallop on the grass with cheers, and then shot aimlessly into the nearby jungle on the galloping horses...... This move was boring for Qin Chuan, because it was a waste of bullets, and Qin Chuan's experience on the battlefield was something he subconsciously hated.

Or, Lieutenant General Lu Manlin and these people just want to feel the feeling of being on the battlefield but don't dare to go to the battlefield, so they will use this hunting ground to show off or publicize it...... Their opponents are a group of non-threatening animals, so they are safe.

This may also be one of the reasons why Lieutenant General Lu Manlin insisted that Qin Chuan participate in it, and even asked Qin Chuan for an autograph before.

In Qin Chuan's opinion, they were just playing a war game, like a group of children playing house.

However, the cost of this master is very high, as it requires well-made rifles, horses, retrievers, and especially a hunting ground with no end in sight.

Ten minutes later, perhaps seeing that Qin Chuan was in a hurry, Lieutenant General Lu Manlin stopped by the horse's head, and then shouted to everyone: "Okay, it's time to go in and show it!" ”
