The decisive battle against the Third Reich

"Annette!" The French woman took out a cigarette and held it skillfully in her mouth, saying, "My name!"

"Frick!" Qin Chuan answered while lighting a cigarette for Annette.

"Wouldn't you like one?" Annette handed the cigarette to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan didn't recognize what kind of cigarette it was, but he still took out one and lit it, but he almost coughed after taking a puff... Qin Chuan smoked a lot on the battlefield, but he was still surprised by the strength of this cigarette.

"Gaul!" Annette looked at Qin Chuan's expression and explained: "It has three colors, blue is original, yellow is light, red..."

Annette raised the cigarette in her hand and said, "It's very mellow. I hope you like it!"

"Maybe my comrades will like it!" Qin Chuan said, "But I won't!"

"Why?" Annette's face looked a little surprised: "I heard that soldiers who have been on the battlefield all like cigarettes!"

"Yes, but not me!" Qin Chuan replied: "Because I am a sniper!"

"Snipers are not allowed to smoke?"

"It's not not allowed!" Qin Chuan replied: "In fact, they will also give cigarettes to you. The problem is... the sniper must ensure steady breathing, hold his breath before pulling the trigger, and sometimes have to lurk I can't move or make a sound in one place for several hours or even dozens of hours!"

Annette looked at Qin Chuan blankly, and after a while she replied: "You scared me, Lieutenant!"

Qin Chuan smiled, these are just the most basic things for a sniper.

"But I understand!" Annette replied: "I cough a lot because of it. It's nothing to me, but it's fatal to you!"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan nodded.

"No, shut up!"

"What?"

Qin Chuan was baffled by Annette's sudden words.

"I know what you want to say!" Annette said with a smile: "You must want me to smoke less, or change a brand or smoke yellow, right?"

"No, I never thought about it that way!" Qin Chuan said.

"Then what are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking..." Qin Chuan said, "It's good to be able to smoke!"

"No way!" Annette laughed again.

"Why not?" Qin Chuan replied: "To a certain extent, we are all people who don't know how long we can live. The difference is that you can choose freely, and I..."

Qin Chuan raised the cigarette in his hand: "I must control myself!"

This seemed to speak to Annette's mind, because the French in Algeria did have this concern at this time, especially the wealthy businessmen. They didn't know what the German soldiers would do to them.

"That's right, Lieutenant!" After a while, Annette raised the wine glass in her hand and said, "Thank you, you made me realize that I am not that unfortunate!"

After a pause, Annette asked again: "Tell me, Lieutenant, what should we do?"

In fact, Qin Chuan didn't know what they should do.

The French were actually very embarrassed at this time. It is not an exaggeration to say that they were surviving in the cracks:

Of course, it would not work to side with the Allies. The Germans would confiscate their property and imprison them as soon as possible.

It's not okay to stand on the side of the Germans. Not to mention that they will be defined as French traitors... They will also be liquidated once France is liberated.

This is especially true for women... When Germany occupied France, they were used as talismans by French men and pushed to the front line to please the Germans. After the war, French women would have their heads shaved and their clothes stripped because of their relationship with the Germans. March into the streets.

Qin Chuan looked at Annette, then at the women on the dance floor who were dancing with the German officers with forced smiles. Thinking about the tragic fate that awaited them in the future, he couldn't help but shook his head and replied: "I don't know, Annette! "

"No, you know!" Annette looked at Qin Chuan with expectant eyes: "You must know that they say you are the smartest person and there is nothing you can't do!"

"They think highly of me!" Qin Chuan replied, "Some things cannot be controlled by one person!"

There was some disappointment in Annette's eyes.

"You are very smart!" Qin Chuan said: "I think you know that even if you escape back to France, it will not help..."

Annette nodded slightly. At this time, France was also in danger. In other words, the world is so big that there is no place for them. If you want to blame them, you can only blame the French army for not being able to protect them.

"And the bigger crisis in front of you..." Qin Chuan continued: "With all due respect, they are not Germans!"

"What do you mean?" Annette looked at Qin Chuan in confusion. At this time, the entire Algeria was occupied by the Germans. That is to say, the Germans had the final say. If not the Germans, who else?

"We plan to make Algeria independent!" Qin Chuan said: "We are currently discussing with Algeria. You are so smart, you should know what will happen!"

Annette's expression couldn't help but change after hearing this.

Of course she knew that the French did not do many good things in Algeria as colonizers. If the Algerians achieved independence with the support of the Germans, then the French, especially the wealthy French businessmen... would undoubtedly become the target of the Algerians' hatred. object.

After being stunned for a while, Annette said in a panic: "I, I should go!"

Qin Chuan nodded. It was time for Annette to go back and tell her father and other French people stranded in Algeria about this explosive news and discuss countermeasures.

And Qin Chuan believes that in the end they will find that they have only one way out, which is to completely fall to Germany and help the German army win the upcoming battle.

Qin Chuan casually took the cigarette Annette left on the table, took one out and lit it in his mouth, and then thought in the smoke... French businessmen, and they are also businessmen in Algeria. They are a big force in Algeria. , the reason is as mentioned before, because France felt more unsafe, so many French businessmen moved their factories to Algeria. In addition, Algeria also has cheap labor and convenient transportation, which makes Algeria have a relatively complete industries. For example, the barracks of the 36th Infantry Division was a shoe factory at this time.

Of course, Germany can take these factories as its own, but this will require more Germans from all walks of life to manage them... Germany's domestic industry is already in dire labor shortage, so how can it care about Algeria? . And they would be difficult to manage, as this would inevitably lead to direct conflict between German and Algerian labor.

As for the Algerians, they certainly don't know how to manage.

More importantly, Qinchuan hoped to use this to further intensify the conflict between France and the Allies... to let France make a choice between Germany and the Allies.
