The decisive battle against the Third Reich

On the other side, the bakers and his gang were ready and waiting anxiously.

When they saw Qin Chuan coming back with something black in his hand, they couldn't help but excitedly took it and started to deal with it quickly.

Only then did Qin Chuan realize that the cooking utensils they were working on were quite professional. They dug a pit in the ground that was big enough for everyone to hide in. They piled some rammed earth high around it and used gasoline barrels to make a fire inside. The outside was covered with canvas so that no light could penetrate. , What makes Qinchuan even more impressed is that this place is located in the downstream direction of the wind, and the smoke smell will be blown to the opposite direction of the camp, so the German soldiers sleeping in the camp will not smell any strange smell.

The baker skillfully removed the hen's feathers and washed it, then broke it down with spurs and threw it into the pot of boiling water. Alfredo sprinkled some spices he got from nowhere into the pot and covered it. Go up, and what follows is an uneasy wait.

Of course, secret sentries were posted outside to keep watch. The soldiers didn't want anyone to surround them and not know anything about it.

"Do you think they will notice that the hen is missing and start looking for it?" Yacop asked worriedly.

"I don't think so!" Qin Chuan replied: "They are more concerned about whether there is any enemy. As for this hen..."

Qin Chuan raised his head toward the pot and said, "They want it to be as quiet as possible!"

Werner suddenly laughed: "What would the general look like if he found out the next day that his hen was missing?"

"He must be thinking, where are my eggs today? Why haven't they brought them to me yet..." the baker continued.

"Unfortunately, General!" Alfredo said: "Your hen is in our pot, and it will be in our stomachs soon!"

The soldiers couldn't help but laugh.

After a while, the long-lost aroma emerged from the edge of the pot lid. Only then did Qin Chuan understand why the soldiers were willing to risk being punished for "committing crimes" because the smell was really not something ordinary people could resist. ...If this thought had occurred not long ago, Qin Chuan would not have believed anything he said, because a chicken was nothing to a modern man like him. He could eat it whenever he wanted and it could be eaten in various ways, but now In this era and in the army under combat conditions, a chicken can undoubtedly be regarded as a delicacy.

Werner tried to open the pot several times to take a look, but the baker stopped him.

"If you want a perfect chicken soup, you have to be patient!" says the baker.

After more than half an hour, we were finally done.

At this time, Qin Chuan couldn't help but admire the order of the Germans. Even at this time, they distributed portions instead of grabbing them frantically. The baker gave Qin Chuan double portions because his work was particularly important. There's even a chicken drumstick.

"No, I don't need so much!" Qin Chuan was a little embarrassed: "Because I got a sniper scope."

"Forget it, Sergeant!" the baker chuckled, "That was just for you!"

"What?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but be startled when he heard this.

"That was given to me by the captain this morning!" the baker explained: "You were training at that time, and the captain asked me to hand it over to you. I put it in my bag and forgot about it, and then..."

"You liar!" Qin Chuan cursed.

The soldiers couldn't help but laugh softly.

In the end, the pot of chicken soup was drank down to the ground, with no soup left at all. The soldiers couldn't help but sigh that this was perhaps the most delicious meal they had ever eaten.

"I really want to ask the general what they used to raise this chicken!" The baker burped.

"It can't be with gunpowder!" Werner's answer made the soldiers laugh again.

The soldiers did not dare to neglect. They hurriedly buried everything that could be used as evidence, such as chicken feathers, leftover bones, etc., and finally sprinkled a layer of dry soil on top to cover it up.

The troops' training makes them so good at doing this that no one can find a clue.

But there is a saying that "if you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself." The soldiers seemed to be very strict, but there were still flaws.

Early the next morning, when the cook went to pick up eggs, he looked at the empty chicken coop in a daze.

"Where did you take it?" the cook asked the guard.

"What?" The guard ran over and was surprised to find that the hen had disappeared.

The news soon reached General Strike, who was enjoying breakfast. He couldn't help but threw the knife and fork on the table, and then said to the adjutant: "Go and find out who did it and find him out! "

"Yes!" the adjutant responded.

For General Strike, it was not just a question of one chicken, the chicken itself was of little significance, and if he needed it, ten or even a hundred chickens could be shipped from Tobruk at any time.

But this incident exposed the security loopholes of the guard company... A company of guards surrounded the division headquarters and actually allowed people to steal the chicken without anyone noticing. It wasn't even discovered until the next morning. This is either because the guard company is incompetent or the soldiers who stole the chicken are too clever.

If what this soldier wanted to steal was not the chicken but to install a time bomb under each "Mammoth" command vehicle... General Strike would never dare to think about what happened next.

More importantly, General Strike believed that this violated his dignity. His soldiers dared to ignore his existence like this. If these people are not found out and punished, then he will become the leader of this army. The laughing stock, and at the same time, he will be unable to establish his own prestige and command the troops in the future.

In fact, this should be said to be "in the eye of the beholder". If General Strike was smart enough, he should not take it seriously, or just think that the chicken ran away because the cage was not closed, so that he could truly Preserve his authority.

Otherwise, if we dig deeper, it will be of no benefit to him whether we find out or not.

Because as soon as the officers and soldiers of the entire division and even the entire African Army knew that such a bold soldier stole the general's chicken and ate it, General Strike's prestige would immediately suffer, and it might even spread to the rebels. Italian army.

Next, failure to find out would reveal General Strike's incompetence.

After finding out... what can we do with these soldiers who may die on the battlefield at any time? Not to mention a general quarreling with a soldier over a chicken? This only shows that Strike, the general, is too petty.

However, Germans have a more rigorous character and are a bit dull. General Strike, a German, is no exception. When his dignity is violated, he simply wants to fight back to protect his reputation.

This also caused Qin Chuan and others to suffer a moderate amount of torture...
