Qin Chuan did not take the train with his own troops, he received an order to take a plane with Colonel Slain to France.

But even though it's a plane, it's actually a terrible toss, and the reason is just like what I said before...... The United States and Britain have launched an all-out bombing campaign against France.

This bombing was not only a bombing of coastal fortifications such as the Atlantic ramparts, but also a bombardment of French roads, railways, and bridges.

In this way, the United States and Britain hoped to block the movement of German troops and the transportation of supplies, so as to make the landing smoother...... This is the historical "transport" operation plan of the United States and Britain, in which they carried out a massive 90-day bombing of 72 targets in France.

According to statistics, during the three months of bombing, the United States and Britain dropped a total of 69,591 tons of bombs, of which 10,125 tons were dropped by the Allied expeditionary forces (including the Polish, Dutch, French and other armies), 44,744 tons by the United Kingdom, and 14,722 tons by the United States.

Of course, this was the practice of the American and British armies in history, when they had more time to prepare...... Now I'm afraid it's a different story.

But even so, the bombing of the American and British forces caused enough damage to Germany: a large number of railways and roads were blown up, and bridges were blown up.

However, objectively speaking, this kind of battle plan can only be formulated by a local tyrant like the United States.

The reason is that railways, roads, and even bridges are not the same as buildings or military targets.

Buildings and military targets are blown up and gone.

It is not easy for railways and highways to hit first, and it is necessary to bomb at low altitudes or in a large area to be able to hit and cause effective damage.

Secondly, roads and railways can be repaired as they are bombed, especially in France...... As long as a bunch of French laborers are pulled in as laborers, and even when these French laborers are repairing railways and highways, the American and British armies do not dare to interfere with the destruction, because France is still an ally of the United States and Britain to some extent.

Therefore, this kind of bombing blockade actually only slowed down Germany's transportation and transportation costs, but could not achieve the effect of "blockade", and even to some extent caused 800 damage to the enemy with ammunition worth 1,000...... In terms of overall national strength, it is not worth it.

It's just that the industrial capacity of the United States is very strong, and they even moved the arsenal to the United Kingdom to produce day and night, so they can afford to play this kind of operation.

On the contrary, at this time, Germany was already in a shortage of materials, so even if the United States lost more money, Germany still could not afford it.

The impact of this on Qinchuan was that the plane could only land in Germany, because French airspace was no longer safe.

Then, take a jeep ride into France when it's dark.

While passing through the Maginot Line, Qin Chuan and Colonel Slain turned to Metz to build a fortification and visited Lieutenant General Lower Lumanlin.

To the surprise of the two, when they arrived at Lieutenant General Lu Manlin's villa, they were empty, and the villa even looked a little desolate.

The few guards who stayed there shouted excitedly when they saw Qin Chuan: "Lieutenant Colonel, you are finally back, General Lu Manlin has been waiting for you!" ”

"Where's the general?" Qin Chuan asked.

"It's not going to be a move back to Berlin!" Colonel Slein's face was a little ugly, if Lu Manlin fled back to Germany just because of the American and British bombing, then their previous efforts would be in vain.

"No, Lieutenant Colonel!" The guard replied: "General Lu Manlin is in the fortifications of the fortifications, he has been living there for some time!" ”

Qin Chuan and Colonel Slane couldn't help but glance at each other, wanting to laugh but couldn't...... General Lu Manlin's cowardice was somewhat beyond the imagination of the two.

However, this seems to be a good thing, because only then will Lieutenant General Lu Manlin be more "dedicated" to strengthen the defense of the Maginot Line.

"Sir, I'll arrange for you to go to see the general!" The guard said, "He will be glad to see you!" ”

"Don't bother!" Qin Chuan replied: "We have a car, and we know how to get there!" ”

However, the guards apparently informed Lieutenant Colonel Lu Manlin of the arrival of Qin Chuan and Colonel Slane first, because when the two drove to the area where the Metz fortified area, Lieutenant Colonel Lu Manlin was already waiting at the door.

"Hey, Lieutenant Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel!" Lieutenant General Lu Manlin waved his hand at Qin Chuan from afar, and seemed to have completely disregarded his identity as a lieutenant general.

As soon as Qin Chuan's car stopped, Lieutenant General Lu Manlin hurriedly greeted him, held Qin Chuan's hand who had just stepped out of the car and said, "Thank God, you are finally here, I have already called them dozens of times, and they told me that you are on the battlefield and cannot come here for the time being!" ”

"They're right, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "I was indeed on the battlefield at that time!" ”

"Of course!" Lieutenant General Lu Manlin smiled and said, "I know, of course I do. You destroyed thousands of Soviets tanks and thwarted their attacks. Oh my God, how do you do that? ”

After a pause, Lieutenant General Lu Manlin said, "Actually, I know a little. I've been following the Eastern Front, the Battle of Prokhorovka, right? And the Kovo Plains, where you fought a few good battles. ”

"Yes, General!" Qin Chuan replied.

Qin Chuan was not surprised that Lieutenant General Lu Manlin knew this, with his rank and the relationship between the Führer, it was easy to get this information.

"Of course, that's just a report!" Lieutenant General Lu Manlin said: "My subordinates and I would prefer to hear from you personally about this wonderful process......

"I'm sorry, General!" Qin Chuan had to interrupt Lieutenant General Lu Manlin and said, "We're just dropping by!" ”

"By the way?" Lieutenant General Lu Manlin couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "We were sent to France, you know, the current situation, as for where it is...... Please forgive me for not being able to tell you! ”

Stunned, Lieutenant General Lu Manlin scolded angrily: "These bastards, they actually ignored my request, I said it at least a hundred times!" ”

"General!" Colonel Slain couldn't help but interject: "You just said 'dozens of times'!" ”

"That's a phone!" Lieutenant General Lu Manlin said: "I also sent a telegram! ”

Colonel Slane rolled his eyes.

"General!" Qin Chuan explained: "They sent us to France, and they also defended the Maginot Line, do you say?" ”

Lieutenant General Lu Manlin quickly understood this truth, nodded and said, "That's right, Lieutenant Colonel, I know that you are on the front line...... I'm so relieved. I don't believe that the French idiots can hold anything! ”

To some extent, Lieutenant General Lu Manlin was right, he had been in France for a long time, so he knew the behavior and style of the generals stationed in France.
