But none of this is important, the important thing is that Qin Chuan heard the meaning of Darlang's words: "You have changed the situation of the war in Africa", another meaning of this is that Darlang saw that Germany would have lost Africa, but now it is developing in a direction that is beneficial to Germany.

"I don't know what you mean, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "I don't have the ability to set up such a big ......."

"Tell me, Lieutenant!" Darlang asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”

"I'm sorry, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "I don't have any plans!" ”

Saying that, Qin Chuan was going to leave, he didn't want to waste too much time on Darlang.

"You should convince me!" Darlang said: "Because I am Darlang!" ”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but stop when he heard this, he suddenly understood what Darlang was thinking, and why Darlang wanted to know his next plan.

Darlang can be said to be a patriot or a traitor. It depends on the attitude with which the problem is faced.

If you look at it from the perspective of literary and artistic youth...... Darlan was undoubtedly a traitor, because he, together with the Vichy government, compromised with the enemy of France, that is, Germany.

But if we look at it from the perspective of "only talking about interests between countries", Darlan is also a patriot, because he has always tried his best to safeguard the interests of France, including Germany, Britain, and the United States.

Therefore, if Darlan had thought that Germany would lose in the North African theater, he would have sided with the Allies and prepared to join the Allies...... The fact that Algeria will develop like this, and the fact that there is also a Matri defensive line is proof enough.

But if Darlan believed that Germany would achieve a final victory in the North African theater, and even that the Germans were capable of preventing the Allies from liberating France, then Darlan would have sided with Germany and fought for more interests for France.

"I think you already know my plan!" Qin Chuan said: "We will hold on to Tunisia and Morocco with Algeria as the center, and you know, as long as we hold these two places, the Allies will not be able to cross the Mediterranean Sea and land in Europe." ”

Darlang nodded and said, "However, there is still a big gap between you and the allies in terms of strength and equipment!" ”

"No!" Qin Chuan replied: "Algeria has a sufficient supply of soldiers!" ”

"You're right!" Darlan replied: "But it is difficult for them to become qualified soldiers, including the Zoaf Corps!" ”

That's true, the Zoaf Corps can be considered an excellent source of troops in Africa, but they are still more suitable for foot combat, if you want to fight with tanks or something...... Because of the differences in culture, language, and tactics, it would be a nightmare.

"General Darlang, what do you think......" Qin Chuan simply asked Darlang directly about his intentions.

"So, you need to enlist the support of France!" "Even if the situation is now moving in Germany's favor, even if you ...... There is no certainty that Germany will win in the end, so you need France! ”

"You mean ......"

"I can form a government in Algiers!" "Recruit French volunteers in the name of the Algiers government, just as you train French battalions!" ”

Darlan made this very clear, that is, to form a German-controlled puppet government in the name of Darlan, and to use Darlan's prestige to form a French army.

This was important for Germany, because there was such a problem in the French battalion trained by Qinchuan...... No matter what Qin Chuan said, and whether they were an existential threat or not, they would always have the idea of fighting for Germany, that is, for their enemies.

Of course, the establishment of a puppet government will not change this fact.

But at least this government is ostensibly Darlan in charge of the overall situation, and Darlan will also do some political propaganda, which will be recognized by the French soldiers to a certain extent.

"But!" Qin Chuan asked, "What's in it for you?" ”

Qin Chuan knew Darlan, if there was no interest in France, Darlang would not do it, just like he had hoped that the French warship would be sunk by the British Air Force.

"Twenty percent tax!" "Also, independence like Egypt, Greece, Libya and Algeria! ”

So Qin Chuan understood.

Darlan knew that if this continued, France would one day fall completely, especially after the Toulon fleet was captured by the Germans, who no longer had any scruples about France.

Rather than wait for France to fall, then, it would be better to achieve some degree of cooperation with Germany...... On the one hand, this may reduce the burden on the French people, and on the other hand, it can maintain France's quasi-independent state, so why not?

"It's not up to me to decide!" Qin Chuan said with a smile.

"I know!" Darlan replied, "But I also know that you will convince them, won't you?" ”

Dar Lang is right, this is a great temptation for Qin Chuan, because if there is Dar Lang's help, the French battalion will soon expand and become large, and then just like Qin Chuan's plan, the hatred between Britain and France because of the "Ballista Plan" will play Yu Lie...... National sentiment is often like this, as long as one point is grasped, even a small thing can evolve into a national confrontation, not to mention that the "ballista plan" is not a trivial matter.

"I'll try!" Qin Chuan said: "But I can't guarantee that I can convince them!" ”

"I'm sure you can do it!" Darlang stretched out his hand and said, "Then, we may be allies in the future!" ”

Qin Chuan responded, but at the same time, Qin Chuan also realized something...... Darlan might be in danger of being stabbed again, but he didn't realize it.

After Qin Chuan returned to the headquarters, Colonel Slain asked in a low voice, "What did the Frenchman talk to you about?" ”

Qin Chuan did not hide it, and told Colonel Slane about the cause and effect of 1510. Of course, the layout of Qinchuan in North Africa is automatically ignored.

"That's a good thing for us!" Colonel Slain nodded as he listened, which was in line with their original intention of training the French battalion.

"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied: "But we ......"

Saying that, Qin Chuan squinted at Raeder and continued: "Can't let anyone else know!" ”

Colonel Slain nodded slightly in agreement.

Although Raeder is also a German soldier, he is a navy after all, and he is also a marshal, if he knows that Darlan still has this will, he will get ahead of the army to get cooperation with Darlang...... That was not a good thing for the Afrika Korps, led by Rommel.
