"Do any of you know Arabic?" Qin Chuan asked in English.

An Italian second lieutenant was arguing with the German soldiers because they wanted to requisition all their cars, but the German soldiers did not take his protest seriously.

After hearing Qin Chuan's question, he replied in English: "I understand something, do you have any questions?" ”

As Qin Chuan thought, the Italian army is a colonizer of Libya, and it has been colonized for more than 30 years, so there will definitely be a part of the Italian army that can communicate with the Libyans.

"Sir!" Qin Chuan stepped forward to the second lieutenant and saluted symbolically: "I want to find a tour guide in Agdabia who is familiar with desert life and terrain, so I need to communicate with them!" ”

"Forget it!" The second lieutenant angrily waved his hand at the surrounding German soldiers: "Look at them...... They're going to take all our cars away! Is this what we give you food in return? ”

"Sir!" Qin Chuan said: "First of all, we are here to help you fight, and you should provide us with food, right?" And we pay with our lives! ”

The second lieutenant couldn't help but be speechless for a moment: "But you can't do it either!" ”

"We have no choice but to do it!" Qin Chuan explained: "We are here to defeat the British, which is also consistent with your goal!" Sir, I can ask them to leave you a car so you don't have to walk back, and I'll try to get them to give you a certificate of requisition so you can have an account when you go back! ”

The second lieutenant was obviously moved by Qin Chuan's words, he thought about it, then nodded and said, "Okay, then in exchange, I should find a guide for you, right?" ”

"Of course!" Qin Chuan said.

Soon, the second lieutenant and Qin Chuan drove around the streets of Agdabiya in a car...... To Qin Chuan's surprise, the people here seemed to have resumed their daily lives, at least partially, as he had already seen some shops open and a few pedestrians on the streets.

Just two days ago, there was a lot of gunfire going around, and there must have been some uncleared mines or unexploded bombs somewhere in the city.

Qin Chuan thought that maybe it was because the Libyans were used to war, or maybe they had to do it...... They don't have much to store and risk starving to death if they don't return to normalcy soon.

It's just that Qin Chuan can see that when the people saw their car rampage through the streets, their eyes were full of fear and anger, especially those women who were tightly wrapped and only showed a pair of eyes.

"Where are we going?" Qin Chuan asked, he was diverting his attention.

"I don't know!" The second lieutenant replied.

"What?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but look at the second lieutenant in surprise: "You should know that we only have less than half an hour!" ”

"I know!" The second lieutenant replied.

"So ......"

"Sergeant!" "What you need is someone who is familiar with desert life and terrain, don't you?" said the second lieutenant. ”

"Yes!"

"So watch out for the camels!" The second lieutenant explained: "When you see a camel, you will find the person you are looking for!" ”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but let out an "oh", this is a good idea.

"Phew!" With a bang, the car stopped in front of a private house, and Qin Chuan noticed that there were several camels chewing hay behind the house.

The second lieutenant jumped out of the car, walked to the house, and said to the owner, who was feeding the camels: "Athran, oh Seharan! ”

"Ahhlan, Vic!"

Then there were a bunch of words that Qin Chuan didn't understand, Qin Chuan could see that the Libyan people in front of him were wary of them, and his eyes were aimed at the helmets and rifles of Qin Chuan and the others from time to time, and a little timidity flashed in his eyes.

Soon, the second lieutenant told Qin Chuan with some disappointment: "He said that he only raised camels for people, and he was not familiar with the terrain of this desert!" ”

Qin Chuan didn't believe the words of this Libyan, which could be seen from his nervous look and fluttering eyes.

"Tell him!" Qin Chuan said: "If he agrees, we can give him a car!" ”

The second lieutenant relayed Qin Chuan's words to the Libyans, and his eyes immediately lit up, a car was a lot of money, but he still didn't agree.

"No, he said he couldn't!" The lieutenant replied, "He's not the man you're looking for!" ”

"Two cars!" Qin Chuan said.

The second lieutenant relayed Qin Chuan's words with some unhappiness, and what the second lieutenant didn't expect was that the Libyans actually agreed, provided that the car must be given to him first.

"I was deceived!" The Italian lieutenant said indignantly.

"Is he worth two cars?" When Qin Chuan brought the Libyans to the severed palm Bazel, Bazel looked at the Libyans with disdain and said, "Sergeant, you know, we urgently need a car now!" ”

"I know!" Qin Chuan replied: "However, what he knows may allow our whole army to pass through the desert smoothly!" ”

"Uh-huh, what's his name?"

"Bushra!" Qin Chuan replied that he had already learned some basic information on the way back.

"I want to know what he has!" "Then I'll decide whether to pay for two cars or not!" ”

When Bushra heard what Bazel had said, he took out a map drawn in sheepskin from his bosom and placed it in front of him, and Bazel glanced at the map, and then his eyes straightened, because the map was a road, a road in the desert......

"You can't get out of this desert like this!" "You can pass it in 12 days based on mileage, but in reality you may not be able to get out in 20 days or never, because the water you carry will not last until then," Bushra said. Unless you follow this path ......"

"We didn't find a road in the desert!" Bazel said: "We sent people to reconnoitre! ”

"Of course you didn't find out!" Bushra replied: "It is an old caravan trail, which no longer exists, and we only know its location." Follow it and we will find the Oasis of Mses, understand? There we can replenish water! ”

Bazel, of course, knew what that meant, so he nodded without thinking about it and said, "Okay, those two cars are yours!" ”

After a pause, Bazel said to the Italian lieutenant: "Ensign, you must also go with us!" ”

"What?" The Italian lieutenant couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this: "Why? ”

"Because we don't have an Arabic translator!" Bazel replied.

The Italian second lieutenant couldn't help but half-open his mouth, and then looked at Qin Chuan with a pleading look.

Qin Chuan could only spread his hands and say that he could not do anything.
