"Of course!" Qin Chuan continued: "This also requires us to regulate the discipline of soldiers, such as not doing anything to harm the people or loot the people's property. Based on these, we can get the support of the African people, and we can get many unexpected helps with them..."

"I don't think this is of any use, Sgt.!" said Colonel Albridge. "The most important thing in desert combat is tanks. Even if there are many people standing in front of the tank, they can only be crushed into meat paste. Even well-trained German soldiers are the same, let alone those inferior people living in Africa!"

Colonel Albridge's view was actually expected by Qin Chuan. Many Germans in this era were trapped in a fanatical racial discrimination idea. They believed that the German nation was the best nation and other inferior nations should be eliminated, so that the German nation would have more room for survival.

Colonel Albridge obviously has a tendency to do this, and he also believes in the combat effectiveness of tanks too much.

"I'm talking about this problem, Colonel!" Qin Chuan explained: "What I mean by mobilizing the masses is not to let them face the British tanks, or organize a force like the British formed a colonial army... I also believe that it is of no use, which can be seen from the combat effectiveness of the South African Division. We spent a lot of effort and even organized a force with the few remaining equipment, but this force may be worse than the Italian army!"

This is beyond doubt. There are many reasons. For example, Africans are not united, lazy in life, low cultural level, etc., which will make it difficult for them to become qualified soldiers. Even if there are some exceptions, it will be surprising if they form an army.

"So what do you think, Sgt.?" Rommel asked. "If we can't form an army, what other help can we get?"

"Guerrillas, general!" Qin Chuan said: "They are Africans and many of them are Egyptians. They can easily get into the Port of Said, Cairo or other cities, and then destroy roads, blow up warehouses, assassinate, or provide us with intelligence, etc., just need to train them a little!"

After hearing this, the officers couldn't help but remain silent, because of course this was in the interests of the African Legion, and it could even be said to be an urgent need for the African Legion. As Rommel said before, the loss of British resources was equivalent to the increase of German resources, and all the German army needed to do was distribute British equipment that they could not use and send a team of instructors to train them.

"I don't believe them!" Colonel Albridge paused for a while and said: "Egypt is a colony of the British, and the British even formed an army with them. If we send weapons and equipment and train them, will they point the gun at us in the end?"

"Look at Alexander, Colonel!" Rommel said: "That's the best example. Egypt is indeed a British colony, but Britain has been controlling and exploiting Egypt. They are eager to get rid of it from the British, so this is exactly our advantage!"

Then Rommel said: "I think we should adopt the Sgt. The advice is reasonable and interrelated. More importantly, the cost is very low but the benefits may be very large... If that's the case, why don't we try it?"

"Yes, General!"

"I agree, General!"

Colonel Albridge was obviously reluctant because it seemed to be working with the Africans, but he nodded in the end, "I have no objection, General!"

The battlefield is a very realistic place. As long as it is in line with its own interests, as professional soldiers, they know how to choose.

The general direction was determined so that a detailed implementation plan began to be formulated.

Rommel divided these ideas into several pieces.

Rommel himself is responsible for the rectification of military discipline.

In this regard, the German army is not a problem. They have military police themselves to maintain military discipline, and the discipline of the German army has always been very good, which is also the root of their combat effectiveness.

But there are all kinds of birds in the forest. Under the pressure of war, there are always things that can be violated... The German army usually turns a blind eye to these things, and now they have to pull out these black sheep and return the people to justice and face it.

The bigger problem is of course the Italian army.

The Italian army was unable to fight, but it was a good move to show off its power in front of the people, especially when they attacked Egypt, they acted arbitrarily against the people as conquerors... Some soldiers even broke into the people's homes and robbed valuables such as gold on a large scale.

In other words, the German army was moving forward in the front, and the Italian army was taking over the people and even causing deaths.

Rommel didn't want to worry about these things before, after all, Italy was its ally, while the Egyptians were its foes in principle.

But now...

Rommel immediately issued an order, requiring the Italian army to hand over all the robbed property to return it to the people.

Moreover, Rommel also learned to be smart at this time. He gave this order on the radio, so the Egyptian people in Alexandria received the news and cheered.

Of course, the Italian army was unwilling to "slaughter" just like this... These golds will be rich when brought back to China, so how could they be handed over easily? At the same time, they thought the Germans were just talking, and how could they still get the Italian army as allies?

Unexpectedly, Rommel's behavior was very straightforward. He led his troops to surround the Italian military camp, and then led his troops into the camp to search...

The German soldiers were all fighting from the battlefield, and the Italian soldiers dared not do anything to them. So with the order, trucks of gold, jade and other things were transported out.

Although this is only part of it and it is very troublesome to claim it, Rommel's goal has been achieved.

Then, Rommel even sent a patrol team to patrol the streets and alleys. Once any behavior of oppressing the people was discovered, they would tie them up and put them in prison, even German soldiers.

So the German army's reputation rose overnight, and the people were willing to seek help from the German army if they had anything to do.

And this is only the first step in Qin Chuan's plan.
