Chapter 236: Potatoes

I don't know how long it took, the parachute descended to the ground, Qin Chuan skillfully made a movement and rolled on the ground to slow down the impact of his body on the ground, and then stood up and waved at a few stunned Egyptians nearby...... The soldiers landed on a large field of farmland, where many Egyptians were harvesting.

"Hey, what is this?" After Werner landed, he collected his parachute and asked, "Is it a vegetable?" I'm kind of missing the vegetable soup! ”

Werner was not lying, the food in the army was either bread or potatoes, corned beef, and there were very few fresh fruits or vegetables, so it was understandable that they would miss it.

"God!" The baker, who had just gotten up from the ground, looked at Werner with incredible eyes: "You eat potatoes every day, but you don't know what they look like?!" ”

"This is a potato? It's a potato! Werner stared at the potatoes in the fields as if Columbus had discovered the New World: "But the potatoes we eat are spherical ......"

The baker rolled his eyes, picked up a leaf from the ground and threw it to Werner.

Werner took it and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Oh my God, potatoes grow in the soil!" ”

"And where do you think it grows?" Qin Chuan stuffed the folded parachute into his bag.

"I always thought it grew on a tree!" Werner said: "It's like an apple! ”

The surrounding German soldiers couldn't help but roll their eyes as they listened.

It's no wonder that Werner doesn't know this, he is a baseball player, a wealthy man who has been playing since he was sensible, and is almost an idiot when it comes to agriculture.

At this time, the Egyptians came over and said something to Werner and the others.

"What did they say?" Werner raised the potato in his hand and said, "

You don't want us to pay for this, do you? ”

"We don't have any money!" "Didn't they see that we had guns in our hands? I guess you should give them a few slaps in the face, so they'll be honest! ”

"Wait!" Alfredo hurriedly greeted him and stopped, "They want to give you some potatoes......"

"Send us potatoes?" Werner was somewhat surprised, he had always regarded the Egyptians as enemies, and the other German soldiers were similar.

"Yes!" "They want to say thank you to us because we taught them to grow these potatoes and with our help they had a great harvest and they said they don't have to go hungry this year like they used to," said Alfredo. ”

"I haven't done any of that!" Werner was a little embarrassed.

"It's really our people who did it!" Alfredo explained, "They only recognize people who are wearing the same uniform as us!" ”

"Okay!" Werner nodded.

After thinking about it, he took two potatoes from the people's baskets, thanked the people, and stuffed them into his backpack.

The other soldiers also took one or two each, and some of them left the bread they had with them and the few sweets they had given to them, and the people bowed to the German soldiers with joy.

At this time, Qin Chuan remembered a sentence: "When you treat the world well, then the world will also treat you well."

Although this is not always the case, especially on the battlefield, it is at least working for the time being, and the Egyptian people's favorability towards the German army is increasing exponentially, and because of the virtuous circle, it is foreseeable that relations will be better in the future.

"Maybe we're going to be thankful for the second lieutenant in the end, aren't we?" "Because it was the second lieutenant who came up with the idea, we now know that it worked...... I mean, this idea not only filled our bellies, but also won the trust of the Egyptians! ”

"Yes!" The baker laughed, "It's great that the second lieutenant has made things go in a good direction!" ”

"We're going to be late...... Qin Chuan said, "now is not the time to discuss this!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The soldiers replied in unison.

That night, Qin Chuan and the German soldiers enjoyed a meal of baked potatoes...... Although they have been eating baked potatoes all this time, the taste of their freshly baked potatoes is not the same as that sent from above.

After a few parachute drops and training, the soldiers quickly learned how to control their speed and direction when parachuting.

The German soldiers were very serious in their training, knowing that their lives were directly at stake...... While serious training may not lead to survival on the battlefield, everyone understands one thing: they are paratroopers, and their mission is to parachute behind enemy lines, especially if this battle is to be parachuted into Malta (at this time everyone thought that these preparations were made for the attack on Malta, including the First Infantry Corps).

So the instructor was right, the other units might survive if they failed, but for the paratroopers, defeat almost meant death. The reason is simple, the paratroopers jumped from the plane, they had no way out, they only had victory.

But seriously, there are still some soldiers who have been eliminated because of such and such problems, such as being injured during parachuting, and then having a fear of heights and so on. It cannot be ruled out that some people were injured intentionally...... Skydiving gives soldiers who want to injure themselves but are afraid of being found out a great opportunity to deliberately use some irregular movements while skydiving.

For this part of the soldiers, Qin Chuan's idea is that the sooner they leave, the better, otherwise when the day comes to the battlefield, they will only pull their backs.

"Hey, Ensign!" On this day, when Qin Chuan was training with the German soldiers, Colonel Slain beckoned Qin Chuan over.

When he ran forward, Qin Chuan found that there was another colonel beside Colonel Slane, and as soon as he saw Qin Chuan, he took the initiative to step forward and shake hands and said, "Second Lieutenant, we met again, I was a sergeant when I saw you last time, and now you are already a second lieutenant!" ”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then recognized that this officer was Conrad who left his phone number last time.

Colonel Slain welcomed Conrad and Qin Chuan into his headquarters and said, "Second Lieutenant, Colonel Conrad flew here from Berlin just to talk to you!" ”

"Talk to me?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but look at Conrad suspiciously.

"Yes!" Conrad nodded and said, "I've been waiting for your call, second lieutenant, but nothing!" ”

"Oh!" Colonel Slane smiled, "Understandable, Colonel Conrad, the second lieutenant is a busy man, and there are several girls waiting for him to call in front of you!" ”

A few people couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, Qin Chuan vaguely knew what Colonel Conrad's purpose was when he came to him, presumably because of the "Iron Fist".
