Chapter 189 Propaganda

"General!" Qin Chuan reported: "We occupied a warehouse with a lot of food!"

"What? You call me and tell me this?" General Streck was stunned when he heard this.

"Otherwise, what else?"

"We are in trouble, Sergeant!" General Streck said anxiously: "Our tanks are reduced one by one, and our attack is in trouble. It will take not long before the enemy reinforcements will arrive. We are in danger of annihilation, but you told me that you have occupied a food warehouse?"

"General!" Qin Chuan replied: "Because this is the key to solving the problem!"

"What?" General Streck didn't understand what the food warehouse had to do with the problems they were facing. If it was a weapon warehouse, it would make some sense.

"General!" Qin Chuan explained: "Egypt is a British colony, and I heard that the British were not friendly to Egypt!"

Although Britain recognized Egypt's independence under pressure, it was only a superficial recognition... In fact, Britain continued to station troops in Egypt and fully control Egypt's military and politics under the pretext of defending Egypt's "security" and "stability".

Therefore, it is inevitable that a series of conflicts between colonists and the colonized ones will arise.

"Of course!" General Streck knew this, but he still asked, "But what does this have to do with us?"

"General!" Qin Chuan said: "I think we should use the power of the masses!"

"The power of the masses?" General Streck was stunned: "Are you talking about the Egyptians?"

"Yes, General!"

"No, no...this is impossible!" said General Streck: "They are our enemies!"

No wonder General Strek thought Egypt was the enemy of Germany... Germany and Britain were hostile countries, Egypt was the colony of Britain, so Egypt was of course the enemy of the German army.

But sometimes things on the battlefield cannot be replaced equally like mathematical operations.

"The most important thing is interests, general!" Qin Chuan said: "If we told the Egyptians that we were here to liberate them, we would give them complete independence. We would not deceive, suppress, or massacre them like the British, what do you think the Egyptians would do?"

"They won't trust us so easily!" said General Streck.

"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied: "So we need a warehouse, we share the grain in the warehouse to them and tell them... After occupying the port, we are willing to share the food and weapons with them!"

Upon hearing this, General Streck suddenly realized, and then nodded and said, "It's a good idea. Sergeant, although I don't know if this will succeed, it's worth a try!"

Of course it's worth a try, it's not a loss for the Germans at all, and it doesn't even take much time.

Therefore, when General Streck told the officers about Qin Chuan's suggestion, the officers all agreed.

"Good way!" said Colonel Albridge. "The reason why the New Zealanders were able to hide in the city was because they had the support and assistance of the Egyptians. If the Egyptians turned to support us, then they would be done... The Egyptians would point out their hiding position so that we can take the initiative!"

"This is only good and no harm to the Egyptians!" said Colonel Slain. "Especially, food and weapons are stored in port warehouses, which is a large amount of supplies. If the Egyptians can get it...even a part is enough to form an army and strive for independence according to it, and if they do nothing, they will get nothing!"

"Action now!" General Streck stopped hesitating.

Things are divided into two parts.

The first is to open the warehouse and release grain.

The people like this the most, especially the people in the colonized countries... For them, it is no difference between Britain or Germany and Egypt. They are all colonized by other countries anyway, so why not get more?

At the same time, people with low cultural education levels are generally short-sighted. They will not consider long-term issues such as Britain is more likely to win wars in the future. They only look at the present moment... They will listen to whoever gives them benefits.

The second is publicity.

At this time, there must be no hurry to print leaflets, so the German soldiers found some English-speaking Egyptians from the Egyptian people... At this time, Egypt was a British colony, and there were many English-speaking people. Moreover, because they were given food, they were also willing to do something for the German army.

Then the German soldiers prepared a few loudspeakers and made the Egyptians shout in all directions: "Egyptians, Britain is our common enemy. We are here to liberate you. We will give you true independence and freedom, and rise up to resist the British rule..."

Qin Chuan couldn't help but feel confused when he heard these words on the radio.

The Germans may be able to fight wars and do things rigorously enough, but they are laymen in propaganda work... At this time, the German army did not even have an independent propaganda force. (Note: In the early days, the German army's propaganda units were affiliated with the communications force, and they did not become independent troops until 42 years ago)

Such a stiff and unfriendly official language obviously cannot impress the Egyptian people or even have a negative effect... When the people hear such cold words, they will even shudder when they think of the German tanks and cannons.

So Qin Chuan talked to Bazel and ran to the vicinity of the horn with a rifle. He didn't take much effort to find a major who looked like the person in charge.

"Sir!" Qin Chuan said: "I think the slogan needs to be changed!"

The major looked back at Qin Chuan. When he saw Qin Chuan's military rank, he said dissatisfiedly: "Sergeant, do your own thing well, this is not a place for you!"

"Sir..."

"I said it!" The major interrupted Qin Chuan impatiently: "Go back to your post!"

"Go back to your post, Major!" Colonel Slain appeared behind the two of them at some point.

"Colin!" The major was a little surprised.

Colonel Slain ignored the major. He raised his waist and stepped forward and patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder like he was greeting an old friend, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with it, Sergeant?"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "I think our publicity method should be changed..."

"Colin!" The major couldn't help but interrupt, "This is my job, I think I can do it well..."

"You'd better shut up, Major!" Colonel Slain interrupted the Major:

"Listen to what the sergeant said, and do what he said. Otherwise you will get a rifle and walk to the front of the tank, do you understand?"

"But colonel..." The major was still unwilling to give up.

At this time, the major's adjutant recognized Qin Chuan, so he whispered: "Major, he is the sergeant..."

"What sergeant?" asked the major.
