"Thank you, my sergeant!" At the time of separation, Annette said to Qin Chuan gratefully: "Countless times, I have been thinking about Antoine's problem, I am worried that one day I will see Antoine's face in the sniper scope, this idea makes me crazy, but now...... I finally don't have to worry about that! ”

"This is what I'm supposed to do, Annette!" Qin Chuan said: "Forgive me for not staying too long, because we are going to set off again!" ”

"I know!" Annette showed a bitter smile: "It's just the distance!" ”

"It's not just distance!" Qin Chuan said: "There is also war. Protect yourself! ”

"I will, and so will you!"

This meeting can be regarded as a matter of Qin Chuan's heart...... The French regiment finally stopped hesitating.

But if it's just like this, Qin Chuan thinks it's far from enough.

"We should give them more freedom!" After returning to the unit, Qin Chuan said to Colonel Slain.

"What?" Colonel Slein asked: "You are talking about the French regiment?" ”

"Yes!"

"But they're French!" Colonel Slain said, "If you give them too much freedom, they may join the Allies in revolting against us!" ”

"No, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "As long as we hold the 'Maginot Line', the British and Americans will always maintain their presence and control in France, that is, they will not give the French government real freedom." And if we can give the French regiment real freedom......"

Colonel Slein couldn't help but nodded: "Then, the French in the south of France will support them, and even the French in the north will support them!" ”

"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "Because they are the army that is really decided by the French, not the Vichy government that we control!" ”

"But they're still under our control!"

"Oh yes!" Qin Chuan nodded.

After all, the French regiment was a French regiment, and even if Germany gave them a certain degree of freedom, they could not get rid of their relations with Germany after all.

"So!" Qin Chuan said: "If the time is right, I think they can organize an uprising!" ”

"Uprising?" Colonel Slein's eyes widened: "You're crazy, you mean to get them out of our control?" ”

"Why not?" Qin Chuan replied: "First of all, they will not want to be controlled by Britain and the United States for the first time, and secondly, they know that de Gaulle will disband and co-opt them, so it is almost impossible for them to walk with the Allies!" ”

"But if that's the case, they won't listen to us!" Colonel Slein said: "They will think from their own interests!" ”

"What's the difference?" Qin Chuan replied, "Do you know what will happen then, Colonel?" Civil war! De Gaulle co-opted the partisans and dismissed their officers in order to avoid a civil war, and if we succeed in provoking it, then I believe ...... It would be much more effective than ordering them to fight the Allies! ”

Colonel Slein couldn't help but nod slightly: "You should tell General Rommel about this idea!" ”

"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied: "But not now!" ”

It was obviously too early to say, because the strength of the French regiment was still too weak, and even if it succeeded in provoking a civil war, the French regiment would not be able to resist the attack of the Allies or the "fighting France".

It will not be easy to do this, and there will be many variables and even fierce conflicts in between, but once it is done, France will not only become a help to the Allies, but will become a problem for the Allies, just like the civil war that Greece is going on at this time.

If Baudouin and Antoine were smart enough, Qin Chuan believed that they would also use this to rally the hearts of the people of southern France...... After all, there was already the "arrest and liquidation" of the northern part of France and the control of the French regime by Britain and the United States, and the French regiment could easily form a sharp contrast with the north under the banner of "French independence".

Of course, these don't need Qin Chuan's concern for the time being, the most important thing at present is that the "Maginot Line" can block the attack of the allies, otherwise everything will be empty.

The 21st Panzer Division marched to Margaret and boarded the train.

The traffic situation in the south of France was much better than in the north, mainly because the north of France was bombed by the Allies in all directions, the railways had largely ceased to run, and the roads were often only used at night.

In the south, because of the distance and the fact that the Allies did not think that there was a great need for bombing, the railways and roads were largely intact.

It took a few days for the train to reach Italy, from which it crossed the Alps into Germany, that is, it made a circle and then returned to the Franco-German border "Metz Fortification".

When the train entered Italy, Alfredo was a little emotional.

"It's been a while since you've been home, has you, Alfredo?" Qin Chuan asked Alfredo, who was looking out the window intently.

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel!" Alfredo replied.

"We should probably give you a day off!" Qin Chuan said.

"Do you mean really, Lieutenant Colonel?" Alfredo's eyes widened and he looked at Qin Chuan.

"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied.

Alfredo was so excited that he almost jumped, but he quickly calmed down again: "Sir, thank you for your kindness, but I want to ...... At this time, they probably won't approve it! ”

"You're right!" Qin Chuan said: "If it is a leave of absence, of course they will not approve it!" ”

At this tense moment of fighting between the two armies, even the Italian army was urgently mobilized to defend the Alpine line with the German mountain divisions, as can be seen in the cars full of Italian soldiers outside the car windows.

However, as mentioned before, the Italian army is more of a transport mission...... It would be better to expect them to hold somewhere, or to give the line to the Allies, because then the Allies would not at least get more supplies and ammunition.

"Yes, sir!" Alfredo replied with some disappointment: "I understand, so I don't have hope!" ”

"We don't have to take a leave of absence, Alfredo, though!" Qin Chuan replied.

"That'...... What is it? There was another glimmer of hope in Alfredo's eyes.

"I've seen your profile, Alfredo!" Qin Chuan said: "You are from San Marino, are you?" ”

"Yes, sir!" Alfredo replied immediately.

"I heard that there is a group of German instructors there who are training Italian soldiers!" Qin Chuan said: "You know, they will be sent to the Alps to cooperate with the German mountain division to defend against a possible attack by the Allies!" So, they are in great need of translators like you, and at the same time you are a veteran, a good soldier from the 1st Infantry Regiment, and if I help you apply to be an instructor, I'm sure they will accept it! ”

"Thank you, sir!" Alfredo was so moved that he almost burst into tears: "Thank you very much! ”
