Then Qin Chuan and Lieutenant General Lumanlin spent a few days patrolling the entire "Magino" defense line... Although Qin Chuan had no idea, he knew that as a soldier, the task in front of him was the most important, no matter what other reasons were.

When he returned to the command center, Qin Chuan provided Rommel with a detailed report and some shortcomings that needed improvement. For example, the defense of Saar was the weakest because the rivers and swamps were everywhere, and it was difficult to build strong fortifications here.

Therefore, there are the least fortifications here, with only five permanent fortifications per kilometer, which is far lower than the average density of fifteen permanent fortifications per kilometer of the entire defense line. In addition, there are only two thin underground fortifications, only one of which has underground rails.

Of course, because swamps are everywhere, it is not suitable for large-scale enemy troops, especially mechanized troops, to attack.

Qin Chuan's suggestion was to add a line of defense five to ten kilometers behind the Thal area to strengthen a mechanized division. If the enemy dared to attack with infantry or use this as a breakthrough, the mechanized division would launch a counterattack and drive them back to the swamp.

Rommel was very satisfied with the report. He did not think much about it and handed it over to the adjutant and asked him to do what was on the report.

"I heard!" Rommel poured a glass of wine for Qin Chuan and said, "You are welcomed by the French in Lauter?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal!" Qin Chuan replied: "Their welcome method is very special. Of course, I also gave them a gift!"

The officers in the command center all laughed.

"Good job!" Rommel nodded to Qin Chuan in admiration, and then turned his gaze to Lieutenant General Rumanlin.

"Lieutenant General!" said Rommel: "I had always thought that 'Magino' was a reliable line of defense under your management, but now it seems that this is not the case... Today, those stupid Frenchmen choose to assassinate our 'Legendary' with overestimation. If they had the self-knowledge that they did not do this but contacted the British and Americans, and then attacked Lauter with the inside and outside to build a base, what would you think would be?"

Lieutenant General Rumanlin couldn't help but look horrified in his eyes: "It's right, Mr. Marshal. For a while, I actually planned to set up the command center in Lauter fortifications, because I thought it was the strongest underground fortification. Fortunately, I didn't do this..."

Lieutenant General Rumanlin was not concerned with Rommel's criticism of him. In fact, he did not take these criticisms seriously at all, and Rommel could not do anything to him.

What he cares about is safety, and the safety of the defense line is also his own safety.

From this point of view, Rommel and Rumanlin's interests are the same.

"Don't worry, Lieutenant General!" Rommel quipped: "You are safe, they won't target you!"

Several officers who understood had some weird expressions on their faces... Rommel was hinting at Rumanlin's incompetence, so the French disdained to target him.

Qin Chuan said a good thing for Rumanlin at this time, which should be said to be the fact.

"I think these French people cannot contact the outside world!" Qin Chuan said: "Otherwise, they will not target me!"

Rommel nodded in agreement: "At least General Rumanlin has done a good job in information blockade!"

Lieutenant General Rumanlin looked at Qin Chuan with gratitude and said, "I will conduct a thorough inspection of the French immediately and remove the French as much as possible if it can ensure the normal operation of Maginot!"

After Lieutenant General Rumanlin left, Rondstedt concluded: "Never trust our enemies, they will always shoot us from behind at some point!"

As he said that, Longdestedt turned his gaze to Qin Chuan and asked, "Do you agree, Lieutenant Colonel?"

"What does it mean?" Qin Chuan asked back.

"Lieutenant Colonel!" said Rommel: "The Commander-in-Chief is talking about the French regiment!"

"Do they have any problems?" Qin Chuan then understood what Longdestedt meant.

"Although there is no such thing as now, they will eventually have problems!" said Longdestedt.

"Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief!" Qin Chuan said: "You won't do anything to the French regiment!"

"No, don't worry, Lieutenant Colonel!" said Rommel. "We don't have anything to do because I know it was trained by you and have made a lot of military achievements on the battlefield, so I insist on waiting for you to come back to explain before making a decision!"

Qin Chuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this. If Longdestedt attacked the French regiment, he would not only be injustice, but his layout in southern France would also be disrupted.

"Actually there is nothing to discuss, isn't it?" said Longdstedt. "Lieutenant Colonel, I know the relationship between you and the French regiment, but I don't think we should consider personal feelings in the face of war, let alone... If you are just for someone, you can treat her as your captive!"

"No, Commander-in-Chief!" Qin Chuan replied: "You can say this arbitrarily, but my intention is not that!"

"I'm listening!" Longdestedt spread his hands.

Since losing the last bet with Rommel, Longdestedt is no longer as arrogant as before in front of Rommel and Qin Chuan, which can be said to be a kind of progress.

"First of all!" Qin Chuan said: "Although they are French, they are not our enemies but comrades."

"I don't agree with this, Lieutenant Colonel!" Longdstedt opposed: "They are French after all, and their national interests are to be enemies of us!"

"France is indeed our enemy!" Qin Chuan said: "But you also know what France is doing now. It is on large-scale arrests and liquidation of the French people who have helped the Germans, and everyone in the French regiment. They all come from the powerful class in Algeria. After France surrendered, they helped Germany squeeze the blood and sweat of the French people, and even carried guns to fight with Germany... They are the object of liquidation, the commander-in-chief, and they have common interests with us!"

"I know these, Lieutenant Colonel!" said Longdstedt, "But you cannot deny that they may be dismissed by France. The reason is that they are a strong army and they are also useful to France. Under this premise... the French will forget what they have done before, and they only need to kill us in and out!"

This is indeed a problem, because "Fighting France" actually had contact with the French regiment, and the French regiment even hesitated for a while... If Qin Chuan hadn't appeased them, they might have done this long ago.
