"Hah!" Colonel Dennis laughed, "Ensign, if you think this will make me give up, then you are wrong!" ”

"Oh, really?" Qin Chuan asked rhetorically: "Then Colonel, I know that you were originally under the 13th Infantry Division of Greece, and after you withdrew from the Greek mainland to Crete, why didn't you join the Greek government army and join the National Liberation Front instead?" ”

Hearing this, Colonel Dennis couldn't help but be stunned, Qin Chuan asked the point.

At this time, Greece was still a monarchy, and another meaning of monarchy was hereditary and dictatorial. Greece is a veritable dictatorship: they dissolve parliaments, arrest workers' leaders, outlaw strikes, and suppress freedom of expression; left-wing politicians are either exiled or imprisoned; Strict censorship was established, and even the works of Plato, Thucydides, and Xenophon were banned. Workers' strikes and demonstrations were also ruthlessly suppressed.

As a member of the government army, Colonel Dennis thought that this was understandable for the establishment of power, but when he saw that the royal family, which had been in power on the heads of the Greek people, fled in a hurry with the help of the British at the critical moment of resisting the German and Italian armies, Colonel Dennis was completely chilled.

Colonel Dennis did not think that he could pin the fate of Greece on such royal and government forces, so he joined the National Liberation Front when he fled to Crete.

"That's not why I would choose to surrender!" Colonel Dennis's face turned ugly.

"Of course!" Qin Chuan said, "Then can I ask why your equipment is so poor?" ”

As he spoke, Qin Chuan glanced at the Greek militia who were waiting on the other side, at this time their equipment was better because of the "funding" of the British, but there were still spears or grenades in their hands.

Colonel Dennis couldn't help gritting his teeth, Qin Chuan was right, the British have always been reluctant to provide equipment for the militia, even if there is a lot of excess equipment in the warehouse.

"It's none of your business, is it?" Colonel Dennis replied.

"No, it's about us!" Qin Chuan replied: "Because if your equipment can be better, I mean, as long as each of you has a rifle in your hand...... You're afraid you'll have annihilated us on that high ground at the Iraq airfield! ”

Colonel Dennis's eyes at this time can be described as "sad and angry".

Because Qin Chuan was right, the main reason why the militia lost the battle on the heights was the lack of firepower, and Colonel Dennis, who had combat experience, knew this very well.

"So!" Qin Chuan said, "Let's go back to the original question...... Let's look a little further and see what would have happened if things had continued like this. You may be victorious, for I have seen the courage and spirit of the Greeks, but what will you gain even if you win? The king returned to Greece to regain the throne and then began to suppress the National Liberation Front with the support of the British. And then...... Colonel Dennis, who do you think will emerge victorious in the end? Are you still a royal family backed by the British? ”

As he spoke, Qin Chuan handed Dennis, who was already anxious, a cigarette and lit it for him.

These are not Qinchuan's words, but real events in history...... The Greek National Liberation Front continued to fight against the German and Italian armies at home, and finally liberated Greece, but the British army landed in Greece under the banner of "fighting against Germany and liberating Greece", and then the civil war broke out before the end of World War II.

Needless to say, what the final result would be, the National Liberation Front was no match for the British-backed government forces at all.

This is also the hypocritical side of Western countries, they will not support Greece because it is a dictatorship, and they will only use "freedom", "democracy", "human rights" and the like when they are needed, otherwise they will pretend not to see it.

"Or ......," Qin Chuan asked, "you might think that the British would turn to support you?" ”

"No!" Colonel Dennis shook his head and replied, "Our king is the great-grandson of Queen Victoria of England!" ”

"Uh-huh!" Qin Chuan nodded.

He actually knew this, which was one of the reasons why Britain went out of its way to support Greece.

"Colonel Dennis!" Qin Chuan said: "With all due respect, your spirit is very respectable, but if you continue like this, there is only one way to die!" ”

"We don't seem to have any other choice!" Colonel Dennis looked up at Qin Chuan.

"No, you have a choice!" Qin Chuan said: "You can choose to cooperate with us!" ”

"Cooperation?" Colonel Dennis asked, "But what good is it for you?" ”

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend!" Qin Chuan replied: "It's just that you didn't see it clearly, just like I said...... We are not enemies, Germany has no interest in Greece, it is the Italians who occupy your land, and they still occupy most of the territory of Greece, and the enemies of Germany are the British, and the British are also your potential enemies! ”

"How do you want us to work together?" Colonel Dennis asked.

"Surrender!" Qin Chuan said: "First of all, you have to survive, otherwise there will be no cooperation!" ”

"Why should I trust you?" Colonel Dennis asked.

Qin Chuan looked at the German army behind him and replied, "With them!" ”

Colonel Dennis was stunned, and then quickly realized that Qin Chuan didn't need to lie to him at all, because as long as Qin Chuan nodded, everyone, including Colonel Dennis, would immediately turn into a pile of corpses.

SO QIN CHUAN RETURNED TO THE CAMP WITH MORE THAN 300 PRISONERS WITHOUT BLOODSHED, AND IN ADDITION TO MORE THAN 200 RIFLES AND SEVERAL TONS OF EXPLOSIVES, THERE WERE ALSO SEVERAL 80MM CALIBER MORTARS AND A BATCH OF SHELLS...... When he saw this thing, Qin Chuan couldn't help but secretly say Good guy, if this thing is used to fight the arsenal, it may cause a chain explosion if it is fought across a mountain.

When Qin Chuan walked into the headquarters to report to Rommel, Rommel asked with some surprise: "Second lieutenant, you have done a good job, but ...... Why a captive and not a corpse? ”

"General!" Qin Chuan replied: "They are militia, militia from the common people, if we kill one batch, there will be another batch, unless we kill all the Greeks on Crete!" ”

Rommel nodded when he heard this.

"So!" Qin Chuan said: "I think it is more useful for the militia to control rather than slaughter, if we can control them to a certain range or establish some level of cooperation, then we will have a lot less trouble!" ”

"Cooperation?" Rommel was a little puzzled, he didn't know what to do with the National Liberation Front.

The other officers also looked at Qin Chuan suspiciously.
