After the general direction was so decided, the meeting did not end there.

"Is it my turn to speak, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief?" De Gaulle asked.

"What do you want to say?" Eisenhower asked.

De Gaulle got up with great interest, walked to the map, pointed to the map with his baton and said: "I think we still have a way to attack, and that is to attack south from the base of northern France......"

"But what's the point?" General Bradley asked in a disdainful tone.

"We can be clear about the threat from the flanks and then attack to the rear of the Alps to threaten Italy......"

"You want to liberate all of France with our hands!" General Patton interrupted de Gaulle.

All the officers in the room laughed, including the British officers...... This was clearly not the official British intention, but De Gaul's own assertions.

"No, no, of course, there's nothing wrong with that!" De Gaulle replied: "At the same time as the offensive liberates France......"

By the time De Gaulle was talking about it, Eisenhower had already left his seat with Patton, Montgomery and other important generals, leaving De Gaulle still talking to himself in the conference room with a group of officers who had no decision-making power.

On the other side, in the Belfort fortification of the Maginot Line, Lieutenant Colonel Lu Manlin really arranged several more spacious headquarters for Rommel and others.

However, the change in environment does not seem to have much of an impact, because no matter where they go, the generals are always faced with battle maps and incomplete documents.

"I'm wondering where they're going to attack next!" Rommel said to the map.

"In the absence of a mountain division, the south of France will not be the best choice!" Rundstedt analyzed: "Because the south of France is mainly plateaus and mountains, even if they occupy the south, they will have to face the Alps next, and with helicopters, we can use the Italian army to block their attack!" ”

"Yes!" Rommel said: "I think they may try to find some gaps in the Maginot defence. Lieutenant General, do you think there are any weaknesses in the 'Maginot line' line? ”

"Uh...... I don't think so, Your Excellency Marshal! Lieutenant General Lu Manlin replied: "Where the weakness is, oh, right...... The Kanglong area is only five kilometers deep! ”

Rommel couldn't help but roll his eyes, he should have known a long time ago, and asked Lieutenant General Lu Manlin in vain.

"If I have time, I should inspect it!" Rommel said.

Then he quickly thought of someone, so he turned his head and asked Qin Chuan: "Lieutenant Colonel......

"Your Excellency, Marshal!" Qin Chuan came back to his senses.

"Any questions?" Rommel saw that Qin Chuan looked a little distraught.

"No, there is no problem, Your Excellency Marshal!" Qin Chuan replied.

Rommel raised his head, indicating that he did not believe Qin Chuan's words.

"All right, Your Excellency Marshal!" Qin Chuan stretched out his left hand, and there were small blisters densely growing on it under the light: "I don't know what this is, I just know that it's so itchy that I want to chop this hand!" ”

Rundstedt lowered his eyes and took a closer look, then laughed: "It's just eczema, Lieutenant Colonel, you know, the underground fortifications are very damp, many people have had it, and I am one of them!" ”

"Eczema!" Qin Chuan looked at his left hand a little helplessly, he now somewhat understood what Rundstedt meant by "miserable" before.

Rommel also laughed: "Our 'legendary sergeant' was not defeated by the Soviets, the British, and the Americans, but was defeated by eczema!" ”

"I admit it!" Qin Chuan replied: "If I can, I will surrender to it!" ”

"No need to surrender, Lieutenant Colonel!" Rundstedt said: "Tell the medical department and they will give you some topical medicine!" ”

"So!" Rommel said, "You seem well suited for this task!" ”

"What task?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Patrol the Maginot line for me!" Rommel said: "By the way, talk to the officers and soldiers stationed there, just like I did before!" ”

"Understood, Your Excellency!"

"I think General Lu Manlin will be very willing to accompany you on patrol!" Rommel said.

Lu Manlin gasped in surprise and joy, and hurriedly replied: "Of course, Your Excellency Marshal, of course! ”

The next day, Qin Chuan and Lieutenant General Lu Manlin set off accompanied by the guards.

This is indeed a very easy errand, and it is very safe, because inspecting the "Maginot Line" does not require going out of bunker like inspecting other defense lines, it only needs to take an underground train to reach its destination, and then walk through the tunnels to easily reach every place it wants to go, at most, it is necessary to go out to see when inspecting the ground fortifications, but this is more because Qin Chuan wants to bask in the sun.

Sometimes, Qin Chuan thought that Rommel sent him to inspect more to boost morale...... Because every time Qin Chuan stopped at a place, he always made the German soldiers stationed there very excited.

Then, Qin Chuan would say words of encouragement to them, sometimes give an impromptu speech, and then rush to another place amid the cheers of the soldiers.

"Now I understand the pain of the generals!" When Qin Chuan sat on the tram to the next station, he complained impatiently.

"What? What pain? "Lieutenant General Lu Manlin is a little baffled.

"All of this!" Qin Chuan said: "The soldiers pretend to be heroes, and then say some inconsequential things to them......"

"But you don't have to pretend!" Lieutenant Colonel Lu Manlin said: "You are a hero...... God, you don't know how many people can be as much in the spotlight as you are, and you think it's a pain! ”

"Of course, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "I'd rather they treat me as an ordinary person, or like a comrade-in-arms, rather than a high-minded admirer!" ”

"What's so bad about that?" General Lu Manlin asked.

"Of course, there are a lot of bad ones!" Qin Chuan replied: "For example, I can't spit, I can't tell them that my hand eczema makes me painful, I can't tell them that I actually just want to save my life......"

Lieutenant General Lu Manlin laughed: "Lieutenant Colonel, you are so cute. In fact, you can tell them this, because it does not affect your status in their hearts at all! ”

"How do you know?" Qin Chuan asked rhetorically.

"Of course I do!" Lieutenant General Lu Manlin replied: "Because I am one of them!" ”

"Okay!" Qin Chuan replied helplessly: "Where are we going next?" ”

"Lautre Territory!" Lieutenant General Lu Manlin replied: "You will see your brother there!" ”
