Chapter 373: Secrecy
The three-day holiday was spent in a hectic and rush-over, and it was quite productive, because these three days had initially stabilized the establishment of another auxiliary military-industrial system.
This is undoubtedly beneficial for the Afrika Korps.
The equipment that the Afrika Korps had previously distributed to the guerrillas had been taken from British warehouses, and although there were a lot of them, they were thrown into the pit of the guerrillas in several countries.
Because of this, it was difficult for the British rear partisans and the War of Independence to develop for a while, and the Afrika Korps urgently needed to produce a large number of equipment to support these partisans and create more trouble for the British army...... This means using the troops of other countries to fight against the British and American forces, and this kind of war is carried out spontaneously by those countries, and the effect will obviously be much better than that of Germany using colonial forces.
On the other hand, this auxiliary military-industrial system can also provide qualified personnel and labor for the German military-industrial system. As Rommel said, in the process of operation, constantly digging corners...... This is easy for the Afrika Korps, high salary, benefits, personal safety, etc., the Afrika Korps will definitely be able to give much more than the arms dealers.
"Remember your previous conversation with Buckhouse Aid?" After the holiday, Colonel Slain called Qin Chuan to the command headquarters.
"Of course I do!" Qin Chuan replied.
He remembers Buckhouse's fertile imagination and willingness to embrace new ideas...... Buckhouse had the qualities of a true scholar, and he didn't put on a pretentious appearance based on his greater knowledge.
"That's our mission!" Colonel Slane said.
"What?" Qin Chuan didn't understand a little, it should be digging for oil, and what it had to do with the troops.
"We're here to protect the Scouts?" Qin Chuan asked.
"It's not just about protection!" Colonel Slain replied, "It's more important to keep it secret, understand?" ”
Qin Chuan couldn't help but let out an "oh".
If the oil cannot be dug up, secrecy does not seem necessary.
But if you can dig up oil...... That would be no small deal, because it seemed to prove that there was oil in the deserts of North Africa, and then the British would use this experience to look inland, so that the oil development of the whole of North Africa could have started earlier, which was also unusual for the German army.
Qin Chuan was only worried about whether the developed oil fields would fall into the hands of the British army, but he did not take this into account.
"But, Colonel!" Qin Chuan said: "We are looking for oil in the desert, and the drilling wells erected are very eye-catching, and the British reconnaissance planes can easily find ......"
"That's why we are needed!" Colonel Slane pushed a few photos in front of Qin Chuan and said, "Look at this ......"
Qin Chuan took the photo and flipped through it, and what he saw was a radar antenna propped up with an iron frame.
Then he understood what Colonel Slain meant.
"We're going to make the British mistakenly think it's just a radar station?"
"Yes!" Colonel Slain nodded: "Even this radar station is still real, because there will be two engineering units and one radar unit mixed with the Kan Scout team. Of course, the engineering and radar units are informed, and in order to prevent them from leaking intelligence, our task is to do everything possible to block internal and external information! ”
"Got it!" Qin Chuan nodded.
But it also meant that the First Legion would also have to be isolated from the rest of the world for a while.
After thinking about it, Qin Chuan said, "I don't think we need to tell the soldiers the truth!" ”
"Of course!" Colonel Slane said, "In fact, except for you and me...... No one knows that we are protecting the Kan Scouts, they will all think that they are protecting the radar station! ”
Qin Chuan couldn't help but look at Colonel Slane suspiciously...... If that's the case, then there's no need to explain the truth to Qin Chuan.
"You'll see it anyway!" Colonel Slane explained, "Your mission is quite special, and you are directly responsible for the security and confidentiality of the Kan Detective Team!" ”
Hearing this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but let out an "oh", maybe it was because of Qin Chuan's previous conversation with Buckhouse.
"What about the French battalion?" Qin Chuan asked.
"There's no need for them to be involved in this mission, Captain!" Colonel Slein said: "The French battalion will remain in Algiers to help with the formation of the French Legion. So...... You should enjoy this three-day vacation! ”
Qin Chuan remembered that Colonel Slane had said such things three days ago, but he didn't really understand what he meant at that time.
"I can't go and say goodbye to her, can I?" Qin Chuan asked.
Colonel Slain shook his head: "Of course not! ”
Qin Chuan knew that this would be the result, especially after he knew the "secret".
That night, the troops got into their cars and headed south, in the desert.
Qin Chuan, who was sitting behind the carriage, looked at Algiers from a distance, and silently lit a cigarette...... A red Gallic.
Werner patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder and said, "Captain, you will get used to it in a few days, this is war!" ”
Yes, this is war, and they are soldiers, leaving the places they like and the people they love is the norm, facing life and death and gunsmoke is their destination, Qin Chuan should have gotten used to all this.
But sadly, Qin Chuan was tired of them before he got used to them.
If he could, he would like to return to his own time now, a time when there was no smoke and no need to worry about death...... The safety there used to be a matter of course for Qin Chuan, but now even if you look all over the world, there is no place for even a small piece of safety.
In the eyes of readers, the world war is just some data comparisons and some thrilling war pictures, and even Qin Chuan has a high interest when he studies these, but now ...... When he was really in it, he realized how heavy the word "war" was.
Thinking of this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but think about a question: Is it right or wrong for him to do this?
If you think about it from Germany's point of view, it is undoubtedly the right thing to do, in order to survive, in order to survive.
But if you look at it from the point of view of war...... It is likely that the war will be prolonged, for example, the Afrika Korps should soon retreat from Africa, but after holding Tunisia, if oil fields are discovered and Algeria is established and the military industry is established, then it is likely that there will be a long-term stalemate with the Allies.
Does that mean more people are killed and more damage is done?
However, this thought only flashed through Qin Chuan's mind...... No one owes anyone in this world, war is nothing but a competition for interests, why can only Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union win?!
Thinking of this, Qin Chuan strengthened his thoughts.
