Chapter 793: Doomsday Refuge

"It's right!" Lieutenant General Rumanlin nodded and signaled Fein to write down.

"In addition..." Qin Chuan and Lieutenant General Rumanlin stepped into the elevator together, and continued: "More important is to build an army belonging to the Maginot Line of Defense!"

"Our army?" Lieutenant General Rumanlin replied in confusion: "I don't think we need to think too much about the military, because if all the Americans fought here, it means that all the troops we deployed in France have been withdrawn, right?"

The elevator is manual, which does not mean that this era is so backward that there are not even button-press elevators, but military elevators located in underground fortifications are more secure than convenience. After all, everything here may have to withstand the enemy's bombing, and the button-press elevators are obviously more prone to failure.

Fein pulled something like a wrench on the elevator to a certain part, and then the elevator went down in the "kick" noise.

"General!" Qin Chuan replied at this time: "You are right, but the problem is that all the withdrawn troops... they don't know where the ammunition is, where the food is, and where the bunkers are. This underground city is a maze for them, and they may not even be able to operate machine guns or artillery in the bunkers! There is no doubt that if they are asked to operate these underground fortifications, they will only end up being in a mess!"

"Hmm!" Lieutenant General Rumanlin nodded: "We want to form an exclusive force!"

"They don't need to be very brave!" Qin Chuan said: "Because they mostly fight against the enemy in fortifications, and even transport ammunition. But each of them must be familiar with the location of each district and the way to arrive, and proficient in using various bunker equipment. More importantly, they must be able to cooperate with ground troops, artillery troops and even air forces, and if necessary, they can guide artillery troops to bomb the enemy. That is, at least some of them must reach the level of artillery observers!"

Lieutenant General Rumanlin was a little confused when he heard this. He hesitated for a while before asking: "Lieutenant Colonel, the level of artillery observer is..."

Lieutenant General Rumanlin asked a little ridiculous. Lieutenant General Rumanlin, as a lieutenant general and a lieutenant general of the German army, did not even know what the artillery observers did!"

But this seems not surprising, and this may be one of the reasons why Lieutenant General Rumanlin served as the commander of the 79th Army.

"Simply put..." Qin Chuan explained: "It is to accurately calculate the distance between the enemy and himself without leaving the bunker, and then report this distance to the artillery, so that the artillery will know where the shells should be hit!"

Lieutenant General Ruman couldn't help but "Oh" and replied: "Of course, we can do it!"

But Qin Chuan saw his appearance, he knew that Lieutenant General Lumanlin still understood.

But this is not important. Other staff members will help Lieutenant General Rumanlin complete it. All he needs is to issue orders.

"After doing this, we need to organize at least a few exercises!" Qin Chuan said: "to ensure that they know what they need to do when the enemy comes!"

"Of course!" Lieutenant General Rumanlin replied.

At this time, the elevator arrived at the destination... The reason why it took so long was that although there were only seven underground fortifications, there were soil layers and reinforced concrete several meters thick between each layer, and there were at least five meters away from each layer.

Several people walked out of the elevator and entered the passage on another floor, with an Arabic numeral "3" marked on the passage... This is the third floor counting from bottom to top.

While walking along the passage, Qin Chuan asked, "Do we have such a garrisoned force?"

"Hmm!" Lieutenant General Rumanlin replied: "My 79th Army is!"

"79th Army?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but turn around: "But they are all new recruits!"

"Lieutenant Colonel, as you said," said Lieutenant General Rumanlin. "They don't need to be very brave, but more importantly, they are proficient in the various equipment of underground fortifications!"

"But they only trained for three months and never went to the battlefield!"

"To be precise, it's two months!" Lieutenant General Rumanlin replied: "The training period for the recruits has been changed to two months now!"

Qin Chuan couldn't help but say "Oh". This should be an order issued by Hitler... Because the front line lacks troops, the training time for the new recruits was greatly shortened.

But in Qin Chuan's view, this is a practice that is not worth the loss, because three months are already very short, and sending it to the battlefield in two months is basically to die.

However, there does seem to be no more suitable troops except the 79th Army.

The reason is that the Maginot line is located at the rear, and it can even be said to be the rear. When the troops are in short supply, it was impossible for Hitler to bring a well-trained force here to garrison.

"It seems that we can only do this!" Qin Chuan said: "But we need to conduct strict training!"

"Lieutenant Colonel!" Lieutenant General Rumanlin replied: "If you don't refuse, I think you are the best instructor!"

"Me?" Qin Chuan replied: "No, I am a military consultant!"

"No one said that the military adviser cannot serve as an instructor!" Lieutenant General Rumanlin replied: "I believe that the recruits will agree with this too, especially I heard that it also includes your brother!"

After pausing, Lieutenant General Rumanlin asked again: "Is that your brother?"

"Yes!"

"So..." Lieutenant General Rumanlin spread his hands and said, "Lieutenant Colonel, you should teach all your skills to these recruits as much as possible, because it may affect your brother's life!"

Qin Chuan couldn't help but feel ridiculous. Lieutenant General Luman seemed to be worried that Qin Chuan would hide his private interests... What Lieutenant General Luman didn't know was that there was nothing to hide private skills on the battlefield, because he taught his comrades to have stronger combat power and also protected himself. This is a kind of bondage of interests.

"Look at this..." Lieutenant General Ruman opened a door in the passage and said, "My room, Lieutenant Colonel, give me some advice and see what else is needed!"

Qin Chuan looked into the room and almost laughed out loud.

Because the room was filled with food, water, and a row of neat oxygen cylinders.

"What are you doing, General!" Qin Chuan asked: "Do you need these things very much? The supplies in the warehouse are at least enough for us for a few months!"

"Who knows!" Lieutenant General Rumanlin replied: "If the passage collapses and we are isolated from the outside world, then I will need these things!"
