The decisive battle against the Third Reich

Of course, not all officers are as easy to get along with as Colonel Sline and General Strike.

However, perhaps it is because Qin Chuan always wins on the battlefield that he feels that his superiors are easy to get along with... Officers and even soldiers like people who can bring them victory. After all, it is related to their lives. , for officers, they also have meritorious service and something worth showing off in front of their peers.

Qin Chuan is the one who can give them victory, so of course he will receive special treatment.

There is a saying that "absolute power breeds absolute corruption." Some military officers will use the power in their hands to do disgusting things.

Colonel Conrad took a second lieutenant to find Qinchuan.

"Major!" Conrad said, "I hope you can help this ensign!"

Qin Chuan took a look at the second lieutenant next to Conrad. He didn't like the way the second lieutenant was cowering. This was not the behavior a soldier should have.

Later, Qin Chuan realized that he really couldn't be called a soldier, or a combat soldier as Qin Chuan understood.

"He doesn't look like he needs help!" Qin Chuan replied.

"His name is Biedermann!" Conrad handed Qin Chuan a cigarette, raised his head towards the second lieutenant, and said, "He is a weapons expert, a precision tool maker, and studied weapons in the Army, because He and I graduated from the same school, so we’re on the same page, you know, I love going to the maintenance department and talking to the people there!”

"Uh-huh!" After hearing this, Qin Chuan could understand why the second lieutenant was "cowardly".

The battlefield is not just about soldiers fighting bravely on the front line, but also soldiers in logistics, transportation and mechanical maintenance. They are all an important part of the war machine. Sometimes soldiers like Biedermann can be said to be irreplaceable assets, because A good soldier is easy to train, but someone like Biedermann cannot be trained without several years of experience in learning and handling ordnance.

"What can I help him with?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Here's the thing!" Conrad said: "You know Major General Lex, right?"

"No, I don't know!"

"God!" Conrad said: "He is the commander of Fort Kinov, and this helicopter base is under his jurisdiction!"

Qin Chuan said "Oh" and then replied: "This seems to have nothing to do with me!"

"Of course!" Conrad smiled: "You don't need to take these so-called major generals seriously, that's why I need your help!"

"You haven't said what trouble he's in, Colonel!"

"A small thing!" said Conrad: "He did not throw away his beloved pipe as ordered by the general!"

As he spoke, Conrad raised his head towards Biedermann and gave Biedermann the right to speak.

"Sir!" Biederman saluted in front of Qin Chuan, and then reported: "Yesterday I took a car into the city to look for urgently needed parts for the maintenance camp. Because the car was so crowded, I kept standing on the running board. When I lit my pipe and took two puffs, I found General Lex not far in front of the car. The general couldn't tolerate my leisurely smoking in front of him. He thought it was an insult to him, so he stopped the car and ordered me Throw away the pipe..."

Conrad interjected: "He did not follow the general's order, because the pipe was his only sustenance in this boring and depressing place. He chose to knock the pipe on his boot and put it in his uniform pocket. And This move once again angered General Lex, who considered it a blatant disobedience to his orders and an insult to him!"

Biedermann explained: "I promise I didn't mean to insult the general, I just couldn't bear to throw away my pipe..."

"Then what?" Qin Chuan asked.

"He was demoted and assigned to a frontline combat unit as an infantryman, an infantryman fighting on the front lines!" Conrad replied.

So Qin Chuan understood that Major General Lex wanted Biederman to disappear from this world... Because it was obvious that Biederman was not a combatant. He was sent to the front line without relevant training. Such soldiers are on the front line. Not more than a few days to live, even then.

Some officers in Germany do this. They intentionally send non-combatants to the front line to die because of some personal grudge or trivial matter. They call this practice "punitive transfer."

This approach is deeply resented in the military, because on the one hand it makes no sense to send these non-combatants without relevant training to the front line, and it can even be a hindrance because they don't know what to do and always need someone to protect them.

On the other hand, this kind of "sending death" behavior will also cause the logistics force to lose many talents.

To put it simply, it is another kind of execution.

What's more serious is that the officers who carried out the "punitive transfer" were completely unaware of one thing: the soldiers and troops who can fight on the front line should be an honor and should be the best and most respectable group of people, but they regarded it as It was used as an execution ground and offenders were sent here.

This approach will severely damage the morale and sense of honor of the front-line combat troops...because it will make them think that they are fighting the enemy on the front line because of some violation of regulations or punishment.

After thinking about it, Qin Chuan laughed: "Colonel, do you think... if I accept Biederman, he can live a few more days?"

"Of course, Major!" Conrad replied.

"Why?" Qin Chuan said, "You must know that we are the First Infantry Regiment, and we are always on the most dangerous front line!"

"I know!" said Conrad, "but you're not going to use him as an infantryman, are you?"

Conrad is very smart, he has long seen through Qin Chuan's thoughts.

Qin Chuan nodded helplessly and replied: "Okay, Colonel. You are right, the First Infantry Regiment does seem to need to establish a maintenance department of its own, but I don't know if Second Lieutenant Biederman is qualified for the job! "

"I can guarantee this!" Conrad said, "Otherwise I wouldn't have saved him!"

"Thank you, sir!" After hearing this, Second Lieutenant Biedermann couldn't help but burst into tears of gratitude. He shook Conrad's hand movedly, saluted Qin Chuan squarely, and said, "Sir, it's an honor to join the First Infantry Regiment. .God, this has always been my dream team..."

"Huh?" Conrad said: "Biderman, you didn't make this mistake intentionally and then used it as an excuse to ask me to help you join the First Infantry Regiment!"

"No, of course not!" Biedermann explained hurriedly.

His anxious look made Conrad and Qin Chuan laugh.
