Chapter 212 Attempt

The farming and irrigation were left to General Strike.

This was not a difficult task. Many soldiers in the German army were farmers. General Strike gathered these people together for a discussion. After reaching a consensus, he gave the soldiers some necessary training. Then it was time to open up wasteland and cultivate the land and teach the technology to the people.

As for the irrigation facilities, the engineers would take care of everything.

Colonel Slaine was responsible for the military training of the Egyptian underground organization, which was the German army's expertise.

What gave Rommel a headache was the "cold gun and cold cannon" movement, which was a bit like asking regular troops to fight guerrilla warfare. German officers were strictly trained and it was easy for the training direction to be distorted... So Rommel turned his attention to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment and realized what Rommel meant by this look, and quickly refused: "General, I'm just a sergeant..."

"No, you're already a second lieutenant!" Rommel said.

"But General..."

"That's your idea, isn't it?" Rommel said, "Then you can do it!"

"Yes, General!" Qin Chuan replied helplessly, and after a pause, he asked, "But how should I start? I don't have anyone under me!"

"Of course you do!" Rommel replied, "The military school is under your control!"

So, when Qin Chuan returned to the military school, the staff had lined up at the door waiting for Qin Chuan's inspection... They had obviously received Rommel's appointment notice first.

"Sir!" Instructor Erwin, who had lost a leg, stood upright in front of Qin Chuan, handed over a document and said, "This is the information of the military school, including the list of personnel!"

Qin Chuan nodded and accepted the information.

This was a bit embarrassing, because not long ago, Qin Chuan was still a student of this school, and the instructor was still yelling at Qin Chuan, but now Qin Chuan has become the highest commander.

What made Qin Chuan feel even more unbearable was that all the staff of the military school were disabled, and only Qin Chuan had all four limbs intact.

"Instructor Erwin!" Qin Chuan said to Erwin, "You are a very dedicated instructor. I hope you understand that the reason why General Rommel made such an arrangement is not because you and other staff members did not do well or did it wrong, but because it is an extraordinary period and we need some unconventional practices!"

"I understand, sir!" Second Lieutenant Erwin replied, "Thank you, sir!"

Second Lieutenant Erwin's eyes showed real gratitude. Erwin originally thought that Qin Chuan would yell at him and embarrass him, just like Erwin did to Qin Chuan before, but Qin Chuan did not do so.

"We will cooperate well in the future!" Qin Chuan said.

This is indeed the case. Erwin soon became Qin Chuan's right-hand man. After that, he also trained batches of excellent soldiers suitable for the battlefield according to Qin Chuan's ideas.

Qin Chuan's training process is very simple. First, he trained 60 students from two armored divisions in the military school. When these 60 students returned to their respective troops, they organized training for the excellent soldiers in the troops, so that the tactical ideas of the "Cold War Cold Cannon" movement could be brought to the troops in the shortest time.

"Our students need to master the skills of night mine clearance, long-term lurking sniping, and calculating coordinates to guide artillery!" Qin Chuan said.

"Night mine clearance and calculating coordinates to guide artillery are easy to solve, sir!" Erwin replied: "They have already received relevant training. We can find engineers and artillery observers to strengthen them. The problem is long-term lurking sniping..."

At this point, Erwin couldn't help but pause. The German sniper training materials have been considered inappropriate, and these materials have no relevant experience of lurking for a whole day... No one has done this before. This will be considered crazy, especially lurking in front of the enemy's position without moving.

"Let's try it tomorrow!" Qin Chuan rubbed his slightly painful forehead and said, "Now I need to rest!"

"Sir!" Erwin said, "We have arranged a dormitory for you!"

"No, second lieutenant!" Qin Chuan replied, "I'll stay in the original place. I think I should train with them!"

"But you are an instructor, sir!" Erwin was a little surprised by Qin Chuan's answer.

"No, Lieutenant!" Qin Chuan said, "You are still the instructor. I will train with them so that we can better find and solve problems!"

"Yes, sir!" Erwin responded.

When Qin Chuan returned to the barracks, Werner asked excitedly, "So, the military school is now under your control?"

"In principle!" Qin Chuan said, "But I think I also need training, so it is more suitable to be with you!"

"That's much better!" Jun Ci said, "At least we don't have to force ourselves to learn those useless things!"

Qin Chuan smiled, "You should be mentally prepared. Our training will be much harder than before!"

"How hard can it be!" Jun Ci was quite optimistic about this: "I'm ready!"

The next day, Jun Ci found that he said this too early.

Lieutenant Erwin called the soldiers to eat before dawn.

Breakfast was still a piece of bread and a potato... Being able to maintain such a supply is already a special treatment for the military school. Although the food for other soldiers is also the same, it is only half the amount.

Then Lieutenant Erwin gave each person two pieces of bread and two potatoes, and said in a muffled voice: "This is your food for the day!"

"What are we training today, instructor?" a soldier asked.

"Remember the sandy area in the 'shooting garden'?" Erwin said.

"Remember!" the soldiers answered one after another.

"In front of it is the enemy's defense line!" Erwin explained: "We sneak there in the dark and camouflage well, and then use your rifles to eliminate as many enemies as possible!"

"That's it?"

"Yes, that's it!"

Jun Ci looked at Qin Chuan with a strange look. This mission didn't sound as terrible as Qin Chuan said last night.

This was what Qin Chuan and Erwin had discussed. In order to find as many problems as possible, they tried not to remind the soldiers during today's training.

Werner seemed to have found the problem... In the previous training, rations were rarely distributed, because the "shooting garden" was only half a mile away from the barracks, and they would come back to have lunch before continuing training.

So Werner asked, "Instructor, when can we come back?"

Erwin replied calmly, "What do you think? The enemy's defense line is four or five hundred meters away. They have a large number of machine guns and artillery. If you can come back, just come back!"

The soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard this, and then they realized the seriousness of the problem.
