The decisive battle against the Third Reich

There are two more chapters in the afternoon, five chapters a day, it won’t be too little anymore! Monthly ticket, monthly ticket, monthly ticket...

"Lieutenant, Lieutenant?"

Rommel's cry pulled Qin Chuan out of his thoughts, and Qin Chuan quickly responded: "Yes, general!"

"This geological exploration team is in my army!" Rommel said: "They followed me all the way down. Do you need to talk to them?"

"Oh, no, general!" Qin Chuan replied: "I don't think so, they are all experts, aren't they?"

In fact, Qin Chuan hadn't figured out what to say yet.

Just tell them there are big oil fields in Borma and Messaoud?

No, this will only be regarded as a madman by them. Even if the oil field is really explored and Qin Chuan is right, Qin Chuan will not be far away from being interrogated or even dissected as an alien.

"Why not?" Rommel spread his hands and said: "Anyway, we can't think of a better way, and the people in the exploration team have no work to do!"

As he spoke, Rommel turned to his staff and said, "Ask Professor Backhaus to come!"

"Yes, General!"

Not long after, an old man wearing a cowboy hat and full beard appeared at the door of the headquarters. He walked to the door and knocked on the door. He took the pipe out of his mouth and said, "Can I come in? General!"

"Of course!" Rommel stood up and welcomed the old man with a warm look.

"Let me introduce you!" Rommel said as he invited the old man in: "This is Professor Backhaus of the expedition team!"

Professor Backhouse took off his hat and nodded slightly to the officers: "Salute to you, warriors, you once again proved the strength of our army with victory!"

"Professor!" Then Rommel said like Professor Backhouse: "I would like to introduce you to Lieutenant Frick. I think you must have heard of him!"

Backhouse couldn't help but be startled when he heard this.

"Hello, professor!" Qin Chuan stepped forward and shook hands with Backhouse.

"Wow!" A strange look flashed in Professor Backhouse's eyes: "Of course, I have heard of you. Are you the 'Legendary Sergeant'?"

"Yes, Professor!" Qin Chuan said, "It's an honor to meet you!"

"The professor talked about you!" Rommel said to Qin Chuan with a smile: "He said you were an officer who fought wisely!"

"Yes!" Professor Backhouse nodded and said, "Although I know nothing about military affairs, Lieutenant... I believe our army needs officers like you more!"

"Of course!" Rommel couldn't help laughing: "If we had a few more officers like the lieutenant in our team, we would have driven the British into the sea long ago!"

The officers in the headquarters couldn't help but laugh, but a few of them laughed more awkwardly, because another meaning of this was that they were inferior to Qin Chuan.

"Professor!" Rommel said: "You know, the lieutenant gave us a lot of very constructive suggestions. What's surprising is... many people couldn't believe it and didn't agree with it when they first heard it. , there are even strong objections, such as the tunnel tactics used in this battle!”

"Uh-huh!" Backhouse replied: "I heard, General. But...does this have anything to do with me?"

"Yes, Professor!" Rommel glanced at Qin Chuan and said, "He thinks Algeria has oil!"

Backhouse was stunned, and so was Qin Chuan... He remembered that he didn't say that.

But Qin Chuan soon understood why Rommel said this.

Rommel was a smart man. He understood what Qin Chuan meant. More importantly... Rommel also understood that in this case, there was only one possibility to get the African Corps out of danger, and that was to Oil is found in Algeria.

So Rommel set up a trap to trap Qinchuan and Backhouse.

Backhouse couldn't help but laugh, and then coughed a few times.

"General!" Backhouse laughed for a while before replying: "You know, if there was oil in the desert, it would have been dried long ago!"

The officers also burst into laughter. From a common sense point of view, what Backhouse said was indeed right.

"Professor!" Qin Chuan said: "They may be hidden deeper!"

"I think this is a waste of time, Lieutenant!" Professor Backhouse replied: "In fact, we have also explored Egypt and Libya before, but it turns out there is no oil here!"

"You must be exploring at the beach, right?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Shouldn't we do this?" Professor Backhouse asked.

After thinking about it, Qin Chuan replied: "How do you think oil is formed?"

Professor Backhouse was stunned for a moment, smoked his pipe a few times, and then replied slowly: "There is no conclusion yet on this issue, Lieutenant. Many people think that the seabed was formed by mud, but I don't think so. It would be that simple.”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but be startled when he heard this. He didn't expect Backhouse to be a professor who dared to doubt and challenge current theories.

"I think they may have been formed by marine organisms!" Professor Backhouse said: "You know, there are many plants and animals in the ocean. Their corpses were deposited in the mud on the seabed, and were buried underground through crustal movement. Under certain temperatures and conditions, it is possible to form petroleum. Similarly, plants on land can form coal after being buried under high pressure and at a certain temperature for a long time!”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but nodded. Professor Backhouse's idea was not far from the accepted idea of ​​modern geologists.

But not everyone thinks that oil is formed by marine organisms, and terrestrial organisms must form coal... Because as we all know, there is abundant groundwater underground, and organisms buried underground in humid environments can also form oil.

The Daqing Oilfield is a proof of this theory, because the Daqing Oilfield is located in the Datong continental plate. It was once judged by the West as an oil-free or oil-poor area, but it happens that this place has amazing oil reserves.

Of course, how it was formed has not been determined even in modern times.

The point is... Qinchuan wants to convince Professor Backhouse to explore areas far away from the coastline, because that's where the oil is.

"Professor!" Qin Chuan asked: "It takes a long time to form oil!"

"Yes!" said Professor Backhouse: "It will take at least several million years!"

"So...Professor!" Qin Chuan said, "What if the desert was once an ocean millions of years ago?"

General Strike couldn't help but laugh: "So, we are now at war with the British under the sea?"

The officers couldn't help but laugh.

But Professor Backhouse did not smile. He glanced at Qin Chuan with surprise, nodded and said, "Yes, what you said makes sense. If this was an ocean millions of years ago..."
