"Do you don't trust us?" Colonel Slain couldn't help but look at General Srive in confusion.

"No, of course I trust you!" General Srive replied, but his erratic eyes betrayed him.

At the invitation of Srive, the three of them walked into the command center. The orderly soldiers immediately poured them a cup of black tea.

Qin Chuan took a sip and his throat became itchy... This is a habit of Egyptians drinking tea. They would add two-thirds of the sugar to the container, and then pour in boiled tea to make it dissolve fully. The sugar content is so much that it feels sticky when it enters the mouth.

Colonel Slain must have tasted the taste of this black tea, so he simply did not move the tea cup in front of him.

"So!" Colonel Slain asked: "What's going on with the topic of trust just now?"

"I think we'd better make it clear, General Shrev!" Qin Chuan said: "You reject the training of German instructors not because they are too strong, but because you don't believe in the German army, right?"

"Why do you think so?" General Srive asked back.

"Because you are a smart man!" Qin Chuan said: "You don't want Egypt to escape from British colonization and fall into the hands of the Germans, otherwise Egypt will never be able to be independent!"

Colonel Slein couldn't help but stand up and said angrily: "General Shrev, our cooperation should be based on trust between each other. Everything we did in Egypt has proved the credibility of the German army. I don't think you have any reason to doubt us!"

"Because of the Suez Canal!" General Srive replied.

"What?" Colonel Slain didn't understand.

From this point of view, it can be seen that Colonel Slain does not have much political mind. This may be related to that he is just a colonel. Although Colonel Slain has more troops than General Slave, as a colonel, all he needs to consider is war and even to be a tactical level.

"We all know the importance of the Suez Canal!" General Shrev took a sip of black tea in a very calm manner, licked his mouth, and then continued, "Tell me, Colonel, will you give up the Suez Canal and give it to us completely if you drive away the British?"

Colonel Slein was stunned. It was not something he could decide. At the same time, he knew in his heart what General Srive was right. If Germany occupied the Suez Canal, of course it would not be so stupid that he handed it over to the Egyptians.

"I am grateful for all you have done in Egypt!" General Srive said: "As we have seen, you have distributed the supplies in the warehouse to the people, returned the wealth that the Italians stolen to the Egyptian people, and built irrigation facilities for the Egyptian poor and taught them to farm... Allah will bless you."

After pausing, General Srive continued, "But the British will not give up the Suez Canal, nor will you. And this is not the independence the Egyptians want... Such independence has been given to us, so I must doubt, do you say, lieutenant?"

General Srief turned his attention to Qin Chuan again.

Qin Chuan had to admit that he underestimated the Egyptian guerrillas. General Srief's vision and wisdom in front of him could be said to be beyond his imagination. He was completely different from those Egyptians who could deceive him by just opening a warehouse and releasing grain.

"You do have reason to doubt, General!" After thinking about it, Qin Chuan replied, "But what are you doing now? Do you hope to get as much benefit as possible from us, such as weapons, ammunition and supplies?"

"You are right!" General Srive admitted calmly.

"But have you ever thought about it!" Qin Chuan said: "If you get these, can you save Egypt from the British? No, you are too weak to fight against the British!"

"You're right!" General Srive replied: "But we will be strong one day!"

"Is it so powerful that it drives the British out of Egypt?" Qin Chuan smiled and said, "General, you have a chance in front of you!"

"Help you defeat the British?" General Srive replied: "I just said..."

"No!" Qin Chuan said: "Although I do want you to help us, I am not helping us defeat the British!"

"Is there any difference?" General Srive asked in confusion.

"Of course there is a difference!" Qin Chuan replied: "Let me say that, two tigers are strong and weak, they are snatching food. The weak tiger is about to be defeated, and you hope to seize food from them. What would you choose to do?"

Upon hearing this, General Srief was stunned and then nodded slightly.

"You are right, Lieutenant!" General Srive said: "I must do my best to help the weak tiger, so that I may face a dying weak tiger in the future!"

"Of course!" Qin Chuan spread his hands and said, "I think you can see that we are that weak tiger!"

Qin Chuan has never been so proud of the weak German army as he is now.

After thinking about it, General Srief nodded and said, "I know what to do!"

"What we need is comprehensive and undoubted cooperation!" Qin Chuan said: "Otherwise we cannot stop the attacks launched by the British in the future, and this will not be beneficial to you!"

"Of course!" General Srief nodded.

"If one day!" Qin Chuan said: "We have the upper hand in this war, and the general can call on your army to help the British!"

General Srief didn't say anything, not knowing whether he admitted this or had no hope for the Germans to gain the upper hand in this war.

So the guerrillas changed from being wary to being fully cooperative with the German army.

"Then..." Colonel Slain looked at Qin Chuan with admiration, and then asked General Srive: "Now, should you let our instructors start training!"

"No, Colonel!" General Srive replied.

"Is there any unsolved problem?" Colonel Slain was already a little impatient. He didn't like General Srief's "use" the German army like this.

But in fact, as the saying goes, "Countries only talk about interests", and "utilizing" common interests is the norm among countries.

"No problem, Colonel!" General Srive replied: "It's just that your training is not suitable for us!"

"For example..." Colonel Slain was a little disbelief.

"For example, we are more of street fighting, and informal fighting!" General Shrev said: "But what you teach is the combat skills in the trenches, we don't need these!"
