After returning to the high ground, Qin Chuan immediately summoned the German soldiers to hold a meeting.

"We will have a task in a few days!" Qin Chuan said.

"I know!" Werner replied: "The British are catching up!"

"We will defeat them as we did!" said Alphredo.

"We should listen to the lieutenant's words!" said the baker: "If it were just this, I believe the lieutenant would not regard it as a mission!"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan looked for a stone at his feet and sat down, then continued: "This is the situation. Of course we have to fight the British, but the mission is not that simple. We must be prepared to stay in the tunnel for a week!"

"Stay for a week?" The German soldiers were stunned when they heard this.

"It's no big deal!" Werner smiled and said, "We are already a little used to sleeping inside!"

During the period of construction of fortifications, in order to make the soldiers adapt to life in the tunnel, Qin Chuan ordered everyone to sleep in the tunnel they built.

"Werner!" said the baker, "Didn't you hear what the lieutenant meant this week?"

"What else can it mean?" Werner spread his hands: "Will we stay in there for a week and not come out? This is definitely not true!"

But when Werner saw Qin Chuan's serious expression, he realized that this was true.

"Lieutenant, are you kidding?" Werner asked.

"No, of course I'm not kidding!" Qin Chuan replied: "And this is the function of tunnel fortifications!"

"But that doesn't mean we're going to hide in it for a week..."

"Maybe it will be longer!" Qin Chuan interrupted Werner: "So, all we have to do is prepare enough food and water!"

"Why?" Werner asked: "We can defeat those British people, why should we hide in this sewer like mice?"

Qin Chuan simply answered: "This is an order!"

Of course, Qin Chuan cannot say why. The soldiers don’t need to know too much information. They just need to know that this is the order and then complete it.

Of course, Werner knew this, so he stopped arguing, but his eyes were terrified at the dark hole in the tunnel... Werner was active and would use a wooden stick to hit a pile of stones he picked up with a wooden stick, leaving him in the tunnel for a week... It would have cost him his life.

"So, will the British stand on our heads then?" asked the baker.

"Yes!" Qin Chuan nodded.

Isn't it much different to ask this or not, because anyone knows that if you need to stay in the tunnel for a week, then the British will definitely occupy the highland.

But the soldiers couldn't help but want to make sure.

After a while of silence, Sergeant Dominic, who was smoking a cigarette, asked, "Lieutenant, I just want to know...will we still stay with the French?"

Qin Chuan looked at the French soldiers who were still busy building tunnels and said, "Yes, otherwise where else can they stay?"

"Lieutenant!" said Sergeant Dominic: "We just train them, their training is almost over, and I think we should be built, otherwise they will kill us!"

What Sergeant Dominic said makes sense.

This is because of the trust and coordination between comrades... The coordination between soldiers and soldiers requires absolute trust. The reason is that on the battlefield, they often need to hand over their lives to the other party. For example, fire cover, magazine change, etc., and the German soldiers obviously do not fully trust those French soldiers, and they even doubt whether the French soldiers will shoot black guns behind their backs.

On the other hand, it is in a relatively closed area like the tunnel and stays for a week... French recruits will be rebelled at any time because they can't stand the pressure. What's worse is that there are much more French soldiers than German soldiers.

"No!" Qin Chuan replied: "They must be with us!"

"Why?" Dominic asked.

"Because this is an order!" Qin Chuan replied impatiently: "You have too many questions, soldiers! Do I need to explain the content of the plan to you one by one? Do you understand what you should do?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Yes, Lieutenant!"

...

Although the soldiers were unwilling to do so, they still obeyed Qin Chuan's orders.

Qin Chuan really did not have to leave the French camp here because of selfishness or something, but because it was indeed part of the plan.

In fact, Colonel Slain once asked this question to Qin Chuan.

"Maybe we should let the French go!" said Colonel Slain. "They are not suitable for such battles, and we train them not to let them die immediately on the battlefield!"

Qin Chuan understood the meaning of this. The French battalion was a model army, which was to intensify other French people to join the German army. If they died as soon as they entered the battle or were wiped out, they would definitely scare away the French who were willing to join the German army. Some people even speculated that they were sacrificed by the Germans as cannon fodder.

If I think about it personally, Qin Chuan is willing to do this, after all, there is still a Vinet in the French camp.

But after thinking about it, Qin Chuan replied: "No, Colonel, I think they are useful to us!"

"What?" Colonel Slein didn't understand Qin Chuan's meaning: "It's useful? What are you referring to? Fighting a war? Digging a tunnel? Or clearing mines?"

"After the British occupied Gaffsa, they would build it into a logistics base!" Qin Chuan said.

"uh-huh!"

Qin Chuan continued: "This logistics base may store a lot of ammunition and fuel in a short period of time!"

Gafsa not only has an airport in the transportation hub. After occupying Gafsa, the British and American troops will definitely rely on their strong air superiority and transportation capacity to transport a large amount of supplies here... This is also one of the important reasons why Gafsa is so important.

"I know this!" Colonel Slain replied: "We have discussed all these in General Rommel! But what does this have to do with the French battalion?"

After pausing, Colonel Slein looked at Qin Chuan in amazement and said, "God, you don't want to take the French camp to sneak attack Gafsa's supplies, right!"

"We have to do this!" Qin Chuan replied: "Otherwise, even if we surround them, it will be useless, because they may have enough fuel and supplies!"

"But that's the French battalion!" said Colonel Slain. "They haven't even finished training for a recruit, why do you think they can complete the task?"
