Chapter 236 Potatoes

After a while, the parachute landed on the ground. Qin Chuan skillfully made a move and rolled on the ground to slow down the impact of his body on the ground. Then he stood up and waved at the stunned Egyptian people nearby... The soldiers happened to land on a large area of ​​farmland, and many Egyptian people were harvesting in the farmland.

"Hey, what is this?" Werner asked while closing his parachute after landing: "Is it a vegetable? I miss vegetable soup a little!"

Werner was not telling lies, the food in the army was either bread or potatoes, or corned beef, and there were few fresh fruits or vegetables, so it was reasonable to miss it.

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

"Is this potato? This is a potato!" Werner stared at the potatoes in the farmland like Columbus discovered the New World: "But the potatoes we eat are spherical..."

The baker rolled his eyes, pulled up a tree with stems and leaves from the ground and threw it to Werner.

Werner took it and couldn't help but stare at it: "Oh my God, the potatoes are grown in the soil!"

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

"I always thought it grew on a tree!" Werner said: "Like an apple!"

The German soldiers around him rolled their eyes as they heard this.

No wonder Werner didn't know about this. He was a baseball player, a wealthy family and had been playing basketball since he was sensible. He was almost an idiot about agriculture.

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

"What did they say?" Werneryang said, "

Isn't I trying to get us to compensate for this?

"We don't have money!" said Yakopp. "Didn't they see that we have guns in our hands? I think you should slap them a few times, so they will be honest!"

"Wait!" Alphredo hurriedly came to stop him and said, "They want to send you some potatoes..."

"Send us potatoes?" Werner was a little surprised. He always regarded the Egyptians as enemies, and the other German soldiers were similar.

"Yes!" Alphredo said: "They want to thank us because we taught them to grow these potatoes, and with our help they have achieved a good harvest, they said they don't have to be as hungry as before this year!"

"I haven't done these!" Werner felt embarrassed.

"It's our people, indeed!" Alphredo explained: "They only recognize people in military uniforms that are similar to us!"

"Okay!" Werner nodded.

After thinking about it, I took two potatoes from the people's basket, said thank you to the people, and then stuffed them into my backpack.

The other soldiers also took one or two of them. Some of them left their bread and the sweets they usually gave to the people, and the people were so happy that they bowed to the German soldiers.

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

Although this statement is not universal at all times, especially on the battlefield, it is at least effective in front of us. The Egyptian people's favorability towards the German army is increasing in a sequential manner, and because it has entered a virtuous cycle, it can be foreseen that the relationship will be better in the future.

"Maybe we will thank the lieutenant in the end, right?" Werner said: "Because the lieutenant came up with this idea, we now know that it really works... I mean, this idea not only filled our stomachs, but also won the trust of the Egyptians in us!"

"Yes!" the baker smiled, "The second lieutenant made things go in a good direction, which is amazing!"

"We're going to be late..." Qin Chuan said: "Now is not the time to discuss these!"

"Yes, sir!" the soldiers answered in unison.

That night, Qin Chuan and the German soldiers enjoyed a meal of roasted potatoes... Although they have been eating roasted potatoes for a while, the taste they roasted on them is different from the ones they produce.

After several parachutes and training, the soldiers quickly learned how to control their speed and direction when parachuting.

The German soldiers were very serious when training because they knew that this would directly affect their lives... Although serious training may not necessarily lead to survival on the battlefield, everyone understood one thing: they were paratroopers, and the paratroopers' mission was to airborne and fight behind enemy lines, especially this battle was airborne to the island of Malta (at this time everyone thought that these preparations were made to attack Malta, including the First Infantry Regiment).

So the instructor is right. Other troops may survive if they fail, but for paratroopers, failure almost means death. The reason is very simple. Paratroopers jumped off the plane, they have no way out, they only have victory.

But no matter how serious it is, some soldiers are eliminated due to various problems, such as being injured during the parachute jump, and acrophobia, etc. It is not ruled out that some people are intentionally injured... Skydiving gives soldiers who want to hurt themselves but are worried about being discovered. They only need to intentionally use some irregular movements when jumping.

Qin Chuan’s idea for this group of soldiers was that the sooner they left, the better, otherwise they would only pull back on the day they went to the battlefield.

"Hey, Lieutenant!" Colonel Slain waved and called Qin Chuan over that day while Qin Chuan was training with the German soldiers.

When Qin Chuan ran forward, he found that there was another colonel beside Colonel Slain. As soon as he saw Qin Chuan, he took the initiative to move forward and shook hands and said, "Second Lieutenant, we meet again. When I met you last time, I was a sergeant, and now I am a lieutenant!"

Qin Chuan was stunned and then recognized the officer as Conrad, who left his phone number last time.

Colonel Slain said while welcomed Conrad and Qin Chuan into his command center: "Lieutenant, Colonel Conrad flew over from Berlin in order to talk to you!"

"Tell me?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but look at Conrad in confusion.

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

"Oh!" Colonel Slain smiled and said, "It's understandable that Colonel Conrad, the lieutenant is a busy man. There are still several girls waiting for his phone call in front of you!"

Several people couldn't help but laugh.
