Chapter 379 Wells
"But it's all worth it!" Qin Chuan said.
"Hope it's worth it!" said Colonel Slain: "But this requires General Rommel to make the decision!"
So Colonel Slein sent Qin Chuan's idea to Rommel with a secret power.
Rommel didn't reply, and then in the evening, Rommel's plane suddenly landed near the camp... Rommel walked off the plane alone, and walked into Colonel Slain's office while saluting the guards.
When Qin Chuan walked into Colonel Slain's office again, he saw Rommel and Colonel Slain talking in a low voice.
Seeing Qin Chuan come in, Rommel raised his head while flipping through the documents in his hand and said, "Captain, a good plan, but we need to discuss the details further!"
So Qin Chuan knew that Rommel agreed with Qin Chuan's idea.
"I need to solve several problems, Captain!" Rommel stopped the action in his hand and looked at Qin Chuan: "We release the news of finding oil seedlings, which almost means forcing the British to attack. On land, we have Gabes defense line and tunnel fortifications, and the British may have no choice but to do anything to us. But at sea... we can only barely organize another battle. If the British launch a full-scale attack from sea, we will be done. How do you solve this problem?"
"We won't tell the head of state!" Qin Chuan replied.
Rommel and Colonel Slein were stunned when they heard this.
"What does it mean?" asked Colonel Slain, "Are you talking about worrying about leaking the secret?"
"This has nothing to do with our maritime defense!" Rommel said with a straight face.
"Of course it's relevant!" Qin Chuan replied: "General, if we told the head of state the same thing, that is, to find oil seedlings in Africa, what do you think the head of state will do?"
Rommel was stunned, then nodded and replied: "We will get reinforcements, more fuel, and even air support!"
"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "If we get these, there are the Toulon fleet and the 'ne-blasting fuse shells', do we still have to worry about the British's maritime offensive? The head of state will even send submarines to assist us in defense!"
"But this is a deception to the head of state!" Colonel Slain said: "What if we can't find oil in the end?"
"Colin!" Rommel replied: "If we can't find oil, we'll be done!"
After pausing, Rommel added: "So, the difference is... do we die at the hands of the British or at our own hands!"
Colonel Slain couldn't help but speak in silence.
This is also the reason why Qin Chuan dares to make this opinion. Rommel is an adventurous person. Qin Chuan knows that Rommel will choose to take risks.
But Rommel also knew in his heart that things were not as terrible as he said... It would be best if you could find oil, and all problems would be solved.
If oil is not found, it is excuse that there may not be oil in the oil seedlings. In short, as long as you win a battle, Hitler will not do anything to him.
The premise is...
"Only the three of us know about this matter, do you understand?" Rommel said.
"Yes, General!" Colonel Slain and Qin Chuan replied.
After pausing, Colonel Slain asked Rommel: "General, what should I do with the exploration team?"
"No one of them can leave Africa!" Rommel said: "At the same time, there is no connection with the outside world!"
Colonel Slain nodded: "I will first pass the news to the First Infantry Regiment. What they know is that we came temporarily because of the oil seedlings from the Timlager Basin!"
"Very good!" said Rommel: "I will send a telegram to the head of state, because..."
"Dig a well!" Slain said and turned his gaze to Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan added: "The engineers built a radar station in the Timlager Basin and dug a well nearby, but black water emerged, so all the exploration personnel were moved here urgently!"
"I will arrange for the engineers to dig a well!" said Colonel Slain.
Rommel added: "Do you understand if you get some more oil?"
"I understand!" Colonel Slain nodded.
Rommel patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder, then walked out of the command center, and with the sound of a motor, the plane flew north from the command window.
"Captain!" said Colonel Slain, "We'd better pray that we can find oil!"
Colonel Slein was worried about deceiving Hitler, but it was no wonder that Hitler was the least supposed person to be provoked in this era.
However, no matter how worried it is, Colonel Slein's subordinates acted very quickly. That night he organized engineers to try to dig a well near the exploration point. Of course, this is just an attempt. If you dig a well in the desert, you may not necessarily get out of water, and even if you get out of water, you may not be able to drink... The groundwater produced in the desert is often salty.
But Colonel Slain is obviously not concerned about this.
Then, on the third day of digging the well, the engineer was surprised to find that there was some black mud and water exposed at the bottom of the well, with a pungent smell of oil.
"Look at what we found?" The engineer drilled out of the well, holding a bucket of "black sand", shouted excitedly at the exploration team: "This may be the oil you are looking for!"
Several members of the exploration team rushed over without saying a word. They grabbed the handful of sand and sniffed it, and their eyes immediately lit up.
"Hey, this is oil, oil! We found it!"
Soon, the entire exploration team went crazy, and a group of people shouted and jumped, shouting over and over again: "We found it, we found it, there is oil here!"
Professor Buckhouse just took the map and looked at it, then walked to Qin Chuan and whispered: "Captain, you chose the location of the water well!"
Qin Chuan smiled and said that he was accused of it.
Qin Chuan knew that Professor Buckhouse would see this because if he wanted to deceive other exploration members, he had to punch the well at the anticline.
And the German army would know the anticline, and it seemed that Qin Chuan was the only one who tilted.
"Do you know?" Professor Buckhouse whispered: "You make me embarrassed!"
"Why?"
"Because if oil seedlings are found, it means no exploration!" Buckhouse raised his head at the well: "We should set up a well there to drill!"
"Then let's get into it!" Qin Chuan replied: "After all, oil seedlings were found there, aren't they?"
These words left Buckhouse speechless on the spot.
But Professor Buckhouse still has no choice because it is related to the military's actions.
Qin Chuan on the other side was secretly proud of himself... What Professor Buckhouse didn't know was that although the oil seedlings were fake, the oil field below was real.
