Chapter 374 Equipment (Brothers, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket, Monthly Ticket,
"Captain, it's really you!" Several French soldiers who had changed into suits stood outside the door.
"How did you know I was here?" Qin Chuan made way.
"Please, Captain!" A soldier replied with a smile: "This is Algiers, and the hotel you are staying in is one of the many hotels of the Octave family!"
"Oh!" Qin Chuan suddenly realized.
"I'm sorry!" Qin Chuan said to Octave, one of the tall and thin people who was the owner of the hotel: "I didn't pay!"
"Of course you don't need to pay, Captain!" Octave laughed: "As long as you want, you can stay here anytime, and there are all the hotels of my family!"
"What happened here?" After several people walked in, they found chicken soup and broken plates all over the floor.
"I was careless!" Qin Chuan was a little embarrassed.
"I'll ask someone to clean it up right away!" Octave said.
"No, you should change to another room right away!" another soldier replied.
"Yes, look how stupid I am!" Octave walked out of the room and shouted down: "Noel, bring up the key of the other room!"
"Okay, sir!"
After a while, the hotel owner who received Qin Chuan came up. He nodded and apologized to Qin Chuan: "Sorry, sir. I hope you are satisfied! If you need anything, please let me know. My name is Noel..."
"Come on, Noel!" Octave replied impatiently: "I will call you if there is anything!"
"Yes, sir. It's an honor to have you here, sir!"
"Marcel!" When Octave took Qin Chuan's dirty uniform from the hanger, he waved to a short soldier and said: "This is your job!"
"Oh, of course!" Marcel took the uniform without saying a word.
Looking at Marcel running away, Qin Chuan asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
"Captain!" Octave explained: "Marcel's nickname is Tailor!"
Qin Chuan understood after listening to it. "Tailor" is of course not a real "tailor", but the clothing industry.
Qin Chuan was not wrong. Marcel owned the largest clothing factory in Algiers, and at least one-third of the clothing-related stores were related to the Marcel family.
"The dinner just now!" Octave said to another soldier: "It was ordered from Luc, we call him 'chef'!"
"Captain!" Luc said embarrassedly: "I didn't know that dinner was for you..."
Obviously, Luc thought that dinner was too shabby.
"No, that's great!" Qin Chuan replied.
Suddenly, Qin Chuan found that he had everything... The soldiers of the French camp were all "landlords" and "local tyrants" in Algiers, and he was their superior, so everything in Algiers seemed to be at his disposal.
"I heard that the captain is here?" With a sound of footsteps, Baudouin appeared in front of everyone.
"Captain!" Baudouin saluted Qin Chuan and said, "I thought you were with Vignette!"
"Oh, yes!" Qin Chuan said, "You know, women's temper... I had a quarrel with her!"
The soldiers couldn't help but laugh with empathy.
"Captain!" Baudouin said, "Can I invite you to my house?"
"Please, Baudouin!" Octave said, "The captain came to me first!"
"And you let the captain live in such a place!"
"No, it's good here!" Qin Chuan said, "You know, after coming down from the battlefield, you just need a safe place to live and have a good sleep, that's enough!"
Baudouin and others nodded.
"Don't worry, Captain!" Octave said, "It's safe here!"
"Yes!" Baudouin replied, "We live next door and take turns to keep watch for you!"
Baudouin did what he said, and he and several soldiers from the French battalion really stayed in the room next door. Not only did they stay, but they also brought their rifles over and were ready.
This touched Qin Chuan a little. You know, these people regarded Germany as an enemy not long ago, but now they have become Qin Chuan's comrades and brothers... This may only be created by the environment of life and death on the battlefield.
So, war brings not only pain and hatred, but sometimes other things.
That night, Qin Chuan slept soundly and did not wake up until almost noon the next day.
There is no doubt that Baudouin and others are still next door.
But it is not just them who are waiting for Qin Chuan there, there are also several businessmen who want to see Qin Chuan.
Marcel brought Qin Chuan two sets of brand new military uniforms and two suits... Among them, the military uniforms are not produced by Marcel's factory, and they have not yet obtained production permission.
So it is obvious that Marcel used his family connections to do it, and it was delivered overnight.
When Qin Chuan put on his military uniform in front of the mirror, a middle-aged gentleman in a suit and a bow tie walked in after getting Qin Chuan's permission.
"Captain!" The middle-aged gentleman introduced himself: "My name is Waldo, I am Baudouin's father. I came here to thank you for taking care of Baudouin!"
"Oh!" Qin Chuan turned around and looked at Waldo. He couldn't imagine how Waldo, who was so fat, could monopolize the arms business in Algeria.
"Mr. Waldo!" Qin Chuan said while inviting Waldo to sit down: "I think you are here not just for this!"
Waldo smiled awkwardly and said, "You guessed right, Captain. I hope to reach some degree of cooperation with you!"
"I'm just a captain, Mr. Waldo!" Qin Chuan said, "So you found the wrong person!"
"Of course not, Captain!" Waldo handed Qin Chuan a cigar and said, "Because everyone knows that you are the one who can influence the political situation in Algeria!"
This is a bit exaggerated, but it is really true... German generals including Rommel are more concerned with fighting and will not consider Algeria's stability and industry and commerce. Qin Chuan has always been the one interacting with businessmen.
"Tell me how we can cooperate!" Qin Chuan said, "If you want us to provide you with weapons... I'm afraid you will be disappointed!"
The German army's equipment is not enough for itself, so of course it will not be circulated to arms dealers.
"No, Captain!" Waldo replied: "I don't want you to provide us with weapons, I want to produce equipment for you!"
"What?" Qin Chuan was stunned when he heard this: "You have the ability to produce equipment for us?"
"Of course!" Waldo replied: "Captain, we have been providing equipment for the Zoaf Corps!"
