Chapter 305: Training

"I didn't expect you to have so much energy!" Annette said, "I thought it would be good if you could stop him, but I didn't expect ......"

"No, you're mistaken!" Qin Chuan replied: "This is not my energy!" ”

Qin Chuan is telling the truth, the most important thing in this matter is that General Oxter challenged the bottom line of Rommel and even the Afrika Korps.

"Whatever!" Annette smiled, "No matter what, you have stabilized our family's business!" ”

"You're talking about Bertrand?" Qin Chuan remembered the fat man from last night, then shook his head and said, "I don't believe he will be your opponent!" ”

Not to mention the rest, it can be seen from the fact that Bertrand chose Major General Oxter instead of Colonel Slane or Qin Chuan that he has a problem with his vision.

"It's not just him!" Annette replied: "Do you think that with Bertrand's strength alone, there is a way to give away a hundred thousand francs in one go?" Come on, these are the war years! ”

Qin Chuan nodded in agreement.

Before the war, France was still a very rich country, a typical industrial power, known as the world's largest army, and did not even take Britain seriously, the point is that now 400 million francs are paid to Germany every day, so 100,000 francs is indeed not a small amount for a businessman.

"They even tried to remove my father from his position as president of the Chamber of Commerce!" "You know, they are inextricably linked to the Vichy government, my father has always been passive, but now ......"

Annette took a sip of wine and said: "If you see him, you will know how beautiful he is now, he will say how he has a vision, and he has taken a fancy to you as a lieutenant and not a major general at a glance!" ”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but almost laugh when he heard this, he didn't expect that he would become the capital for others to show off.

"So!" Qin Chuan asked, "How do you need to thank me?" ”

"Thank you, you can go to my father!" Annette shrugged her eyebrows.

"Uh-huh!" Qin Chuan then asked, "What about other things?" ”

Annette didn't answer and asked, "Didn't I wear light makeup today?" ”

"Not really!"

"My hair isn't messy today, is it?"

"Of course!"

Then Annette stopped talking.

After a while, Qin Chuan seemed to understand something...... It's a date.

What Annette didn't know was that Benois was not as proud as she thought at this time, because just now, the butler hurriedly came to Benois and told him: "Sir, Antoine is gone!" ”

"What does it mean to be gone?" Benois said nonchalantly, "Maybe somewhere to drink!" ”

"No, sir!" The butler replied, "He left this!" ”

So saying, the butler handed Benois a letter.

Benois took the letter and read it for a while, and his face turned white without helping: "God, he went to France!" ”

"What?" Madame Benoit, who was sitting at the dresser and tending to herself, was so surprised that her comb fell to the floor.

"Why did he go to France?" Madame Benois asked, "Is it safer there?" ”

"No!" Benois replied: "He did not want to be part of the German army, he was going to France to join the partisans!" ”

"God!" Mrs. Benois couldn't help but be stunned on the spot: "How can he, how dare he...... Just don't say a word, ......"

"That's what you've been doing with him!" Benois glared at Madame fiercely.

"What are we going to do now?" Mrs. Benois asked, "Should we go to the lieutenant......"

"No, you're crazy!" Benois interrupted Madame: "No one can say that Antoine joined the guerrillas, and they will arrest us all!" ”

Madame Benois's face turned pale with fright, and she immediately stopped talking.

It was a long time before Benovaf asked, "But what about the Germans?" In two days, it was time for Antoine to apply! ”

"What else can I do?" Benois slowly sat down at the table, propping up his lead-heavy head.

There seemed to be only one way for Benois to pack up and run away like Antoine.

But where can they flee to? Unless you join the guerrillas like Antoine and go into hiding, there is no place for yourself.

Of course, it was impossible for Benois to give up everything he had and hide in the mountains like a mouse.

Unless......

At this time, Annette walked in through the door humming a song and dancing merrily, and when she saw the expressions of Benois and Mrs. Benois looking at her, she couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What happened?" ”

The first corps headquarters, Colonel Slein, handed Qin Chuan a document and said, "Now, let's talk about the French troops that are about to be formed!" ”

"French troops?" Qin Chuan looked puzzled, he didn't think there was anything to talk about.

"We need to train it requires!" Colonel Slain said, "If we want to send them into battle!" ”

Colonel Slein was right, no matter what the reason, whether it was cannon fodder or deepening the hatred between the French and the Allies, those French volunteers should have the necessary training, otherwise sending them to the battlefield would not work as well as they should.

"We don't have the right troops to train them!" Colonel Slein said: "The Zoaf Corps needs to be reorganized, so is the 'Lightning Division', and the 36th Infantry Division also needs to be reorganized!" ”

This is understandable by Qin Chuan:

The Zoaf Corps had just driven the French officers out of their unit, and they needed to select a large number of officers to fill the vacancy and run in.

The "Lightning Division" had a conflict with Italian officers and now needed to negotiate.

Needless to say, the commander of the 36th Infantry Division had just been arrested, and the whole army had developed a style of luxury and enjoyment because of their long stay in Paris, and if they did not strengthen their training, they were afraid that one day they would not have much combat effectiveness in the face of the enemy.

"So!" Qin Chuan said: "Only we are the only ones to do this?" ”

"Yes!" Slane replied: "There are more than 500 people in this French unit, and I plan to send your platoon to train!" ”

"What?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but be a little stunned: "Colonel, most of them are from wealthy merchant families......"

"That's why I need you to go!" Colonel Slein interrupted Qin Chuan's words: "You have been in contact with French merchants, and they trust you more!" ”

"But they're not meant to be soldiers!" Qin Chuan said: "They are more drinking brandy by the fire, I can't imagine what it will be like if they hold their guns!" ”

"Then let them pick up their guns!" Colonel Slane said, "It's only five hundred, but this may be just the beginning...... You know, there are a lot of French people living here in Algeria and maybe even expanding to France in the future, we need an example! ”

Qin Chuan was dumbfounded by these words, because only then did he realize that the Germans were positioning this French unit more than just cannon fodder.
