Qin Chuan would know that this method was not his cleverness, but that he knew that this was how the Germans in history solved this problem in the end.

But by the time they found this solution and successfully developed the "target machine", it was already the end of the war.

Now, Qin Chuan obviously took it ahead of time.

Qin Chuan didn't know what impact this would have on Germany. He only knew that North Africa now needed it to give North African allies some powerful photos.

Before this, Rommel intended to let the troops do some actions, such as allowing submarines to appear in the Malta waters from time to time, or reconnaissance planes to reconnaissance on Malta Island.

But this "existence-making" action obviously cannot attract the attention of the British and American troops... The German army could hardly threaten the Allied forces, especially the Island of Malta, so the British and American troops did not take it seriously at all.

This is the embarrassment of the German army. Because of the huge gap in strength, even if Rommel stood up and shouted that he would fight back on the whole line tomorrow, no one would believe it, but instead would regard it as a joke.

Originally, Qin Chuan thought that he would just wait for a while to hand over the developed "target machine" to the African Legion for use, but unexpectedly, he received Rommel's order a few days later.

"Captain!" Rommel said while reviewing the documents: "Col. Conrad just called!"

"oh!"

"It's about the 'target machine'!"

"Is there something wrong?" Qin Chuan asked.

"No!" Rommel stopped the movement in his hand and looked up and said, "They think that Algeria is more suitable as a launch base than Sicily!"

Qin Chuan nodded in agreement.

Although Sicily is full of mountains and more likely to hide "target aircraft", it will be under the attack of British, American bombers and even fighters at any time without strategic depth, which is not conducive to the "target aircraft" to play the advantage of 250 kilometers long range (Malta Island is only 90 kilometers closest to Sicily)

But Algeria and Tunisia are different. There are many options for the base of the "target aircraft" and its ultimate range can be tested for preparations for bombing the British island later.

"On the other hand!" Rommel continued: "Conrad believes it is best to continue the development of the 'target machine' in Algeria because the 'target machine' is adapted to the terrain and airflow of Algeria to ensure that it will not have too much trouble when it is put into the battlefield in the future!"

There is no problem with this. This issue was also considered in history when developing "target machines", but of course the base cannot be located on the north shore of France, which is too obvious. So Germany chose a city called "Pennemingde" in the Baltic Sea as a research base, where the "target machines" can adapt to the airflow at sea as soon as possible.

Of course, because the "target aircraft" at this time was proposed according to the needs of the North African battlefield, it should be adapted to the desert climate first, so that it is easier to discover what unexpected problems it will appear in the desert.

But... Qin Chuan didn't know what it had to do with him.

"The R&D personnel need guards!" Rommel explained: "You know, they cannot, there is no need to bring guards from Berlin. At the same time, those guards who do not have experience in desert combat may not even be able to protect themselves!"

So Qin Chuan understood that this time it was the guard's business.

Sure enough, Rommel shrugged and said, "Conrad appointed your troops. He thinks you can provide him with some valuable advice when protecting them! And you have experience in this, aren't you? I did a good job protecting the oil exploration team last time!"

"Yes, General!"

"You have to pay attention, Captain!" Rommel said: "We noticed that Free France has already penetrated into Algeria with the French guerrillas. You know, there are a lot of French people in Algeria and Tunisia, and they still have considerable influence there!"

"Yes, General!"

"Finally!" said Rommel: "I hope you understand that the 'target machine' is our top secret!"

"I understand, general!" Qin Chuan replied: "I will do a good job of confidentiality!"

"No!" Rommel stared into Qin Chuan's eyes, shook his head slightly and said, "You don't really understand!"

"What?"

"I mean..." Rommel explained: "You can't let any R&D personnel, any one... fall into the hands of the enemy alive, do you understand?"

Qin Chuan couldn't help but "shock" in his heart, and then stood up and replied, "I understand, general!"

Rommel nodded, handed Qin Chuan a document, and said, "This is the details of your mission, you can read it carefully on the plane!"

A quarter of an hour later, Qin Chuan and his group boarded the "Caproni" transport plane... The "Junke 52" transport plane is relatively rare for African legions and is only used in special circumstances. When the troops are dispatched, they usually take Italian transport planes.

Qin Chuan's company had a total of 128 people at this time. Each of the "Caproni" could take 18 people, and it was divided into 7 planes and there were two more people. These two people were forced into the cabin.

"Hey!" Werner asked the Italian pilot who was driving on the plane with some concern: "There won't be any problem like this, right? I mean, you all started to moan!"

Alfredo told the Italian pilot about Werner's concerns, and the Italian pilot burst into laughter.

"What do they mean?" Werner asked.

"They said..." Alphredo explained: "At most they stuffed 25 people into the cabin!"

"So can it still fly?" Werner asked.

"I asked the same question, too!" Alphredo said: "How do you think they answer?"

"How to answer?"

"It's okay to remove the machine gun!" Alphredo said: "Or don't hang bullets!"

"God!" Werner said: "That is to say... if we encounter enemy fighter jets intercept, we will not even have the ability to defend ourselves?"

"Oh, Sergeant!" Alphredo smiled and said, "Do you think there is a difference between carrying a machine gun and not carrying a machine gun?"

Werner rolled his eyes when he heard the laughter of the German soldiers from the cabin.

Alphredo was right. The maximum speed of 280 kilometers is like a snail in front of the British Spitfire fighter with a maximum speed of more than 600 kilometers per hour. The machine gun is simply redundant.

"Then, Captain!" As the plane took off with a "buzzing" sound, the baker held up his helmet and asked Qin Chuan: "Where are we going again this time?"
