First of all, I would like to thank you for your support to the soldiers. I have nothing to say. I will continue to work hard to update and use more and express my gratitude to better articles.

Secondly... I would like to apologize. This chapter brings you into the ditch. There is a foreshadowing ahead, but I don’t know if anyone has noticed it.

"I know!" Qin Chuan replied: "This is not a good idea, but do we have any other choices?"

"The problem is that we cannot get close to, Lieutenant Colonel!" said Schuster: "How can we get over? Take a boat? Submarine? Or plane? You must know that it is Dover there. If the Allies built a fake military base there, it would definitely be a lot of protection, and our means of transportation would not be close to us!"

"Since that 'Mart' can swim over there, we can definitely swim over!" Qin Chuan said.

"You are right, Lieutenant Colonel!" Schuster replied: "But he did not set out from Dover, and he swam for twenty hours..."

"What are your plans?" Rommel interrupted Schuster.

"First of all, I need to know that their warships are in the range of activities!" Qin Chuan replied.

Rommel turned his eyes to Colonel Schuster, who immediately took paper and pen, and said while drawing sketches: "This is the strait between Dover and Calais, with a total width of 34 kilometers. British warships and patrol ships generally operate in the waters 15 kilometers away from Dover. The reason is that we have 5 280MM caliber coastal defense guns in Calais, and their range is 20 kilometers, which will pose a great threat to the warships!"

"Where is the evening?" Qin Chuan asked again.

"Their patrols will be wider at night, 20 kilometers!" Colonel Schuster replied: "But no ship, including submarines, cannot pass their blockade because we have tried!"

"I know, Colonel Schuster!" Qin Chuan replied: "But you must have never tried divers!"

"The divers may do it!" said Colonel Schuster. "But the oxygen cylinders the divers carry are only enough for an hour at most!"

Qin Chuan also knew something about this. There was no special frogman troops at this time, so the diving equipment was all used in civilian use and the diving time was relatively short.

(First of all, the US military should be the one who uses diving to perform reconnaissance, and use divers to reconnaissance related waters during the Pacific War)

"We don't dive all the time!" Qin Chuan replied: "And we can also modify a small thruster like 'Mart', and we can bring a few more oxygen cylinders on the small thruster!"

"This may be a solution!" Rommel said: "But you can't do it within twelve hours. When the sky is bright, you will be discovered by the maritime patrol troops!"

"We don't need twelve hours to reach our destination!" Qin Chuan drew a midline on the English Channel on the sketch and said, "Because we set out from here, that is, the center!"

"How is that possible?" said Rommel: "How can you start from here? Any means of transportation will be discovered by the enemy!"

"Helicopter!" Qin Chuan replied.

Rommel was stunned, then nodded slightly.

Helicopters are indeed a good choice. They can fly low at night to reach designated waters without being discovered by radar, and then the commandos can jump down from the helicopter and jump into the sea.

This saves at least half of the time, and if the thruster is fast, it can reach the destination in a shorter time.

"Good idea!" After thinking about it, Rommel nodded and said, "The radar of the Allied fleet can scan submarines, aircraft, and see ships, but cannot see divers at the bottom of the sea!"

"But..." Colonel Slain asked in confusion: "I want to know how they will come back after completing their mission?"

Qin Chuan was silent, and Rommel didn't speak.

Then Colonel Slain understood, and he shook his head and said, "No, this is not a good idea!"

The answer is obvious, there is no safe way to return because it is Britain and an island.

There is only one way to return, from the sea.

But returning from sea is almost impossible... Britain and the United States have huge naval forces, and German warships and submarines cannot even enter the English Channel, let alone Dover to save people.

It is not realistic to return diving. Not to mention that the British would not give them the opportunity to return to the coast, nor would they be able to carry so many oxygen cylinders.

So, it's like the U-827 submarine performing reconnaissance on the Edinburgh military base, a one-way mission.

"Have you decided, Lieutenant Colonel?" Rommel asked.

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied.

Sometimes it is necessary to make some sacrifices in order to allow the troops to gain strategic advantages.

Qin Chuan understood this, and Rommel also understood this.

"I will never agree with one thing!" Rommel said to Qin Chuan: "You can't lead the team in this operation!"

Actually, Rommel doesn't need to say that Qin Chuan knows this.

So Qin Chuan felt a little guilty towards his subordinates.

If possible, Qin Chuan didn't even want his own troops to carry out this mission, but with the qualities of these troops in France... they are simply unable to be competent for this special operations.

So the plan quickly unfolded.

First, the first infantry regiment must be transferred in the shortest time.

In fact, there is no need to transfer the entire regiment, just one of the battalions... Their train has just arrived in Berlin.

At the command of Rommel, several transport planes were arranged to directly transport the first operation to the Magino Line, and then helicopters from the Magino Line to Paris in the dark.

On the other hand, it is to prepare diving equipment.

Other diving equipment is easy to solve, and diving suits are ready-made. Rommel even specially transferred ten experienced divers from the Navy to prepare for training for the commando.

The hardest thing to solve is the underwater thruster.

In this regard, we have to ask the spy "Mart" who has modified and used this thing himself.

Actually, this thing is not difficult.

Because it is used underwater, electricity must be used... gasoline engines and diesel engines require air so they cannot work in water.

Simply put, a battery drives a spiral slurry to rotate.

The danger is to protect the spiral pulp, otherwise the sharp and high-speed rotating blades and the water flow they bring can easily cause harm to those who drive it.

These can be easily solved by the industrial level of Germany, and this underwater thruster can be made in a short time.

Not only that, it is said that it will also increase its speed and load capacity exponentially, which means that Qin Chuan can fully realize the idea of ​​bringing more oxygen cylinders.

What Qin Chuan had to worry about was thinking over and over again whether he could bring these subordinates back.
Chapter completed!
