Chapter 799 Underground Construction (Asking for Monthly Pass)

Lieutenant General Lu Manlin did just what Qin Chuan said.

The transformation of tunnel entrances and the allocation of internal maintenance personnel...the former is relatively easy, just follow the drawings, while the latter requires the training of professionals. For this reason, Lieutenant General Lu Manlin specially transferred a group of maintenance personnel from China to learn from the French. After getting familiar with this batch of equipment for a period of time, he replaced these French people.

Then there is the construction of reverse slope fortifications.

Qin Chuan never believed that a dead line of defense and everyone staying within the defense line would be enough to defeat the enemy. They must bravely step out of the fortifications to fight the enemy, otherwise no matter how strong the fortifications are, it is just a haven to escape reality.

After more than half a month, Qin Chuan could get up and move around, but he had to hang his arms around his neck.

At this time, he went to the Maginot Line of Defense with Lieutenant General Lu Manlin, and was surprised to find that it was completely different from the Maginot Line of Defense that he had seen before... The security zone on the French side was originally complex. The grassy area was filled with trees, houses, and even hills, but now they have all been pushed away and become empty, with barbed wire fences in between.

Lieutenant General Lu Manlin explained: "We think those things will block our sight, so it looks much better. We will also lay mines and build anti-tank trenches in this area in the future!"

Qin Chuan nodded in agreement. This would expose the US, British, and French troops to the range of defense artillery and machine guns... Some details would only come to mind when the defenses were actually deployed, and this was one of them.

At the transportation entrance of the defense line, there are cars lined up in a long line going in and out... To be precise, there are two holes, one goes in and the other goes out. The height of the hole is just right for a car full of supplies to drive in. .

"Those cars can drive directly into the warehouse to unload the goods!" Lieutenant General Lu Manlin said: "It can be seen that the French are very thoughtful, but these transportation entrances will soon be blocked!"

Qinchuan understood that these transportation entrances and exits were so large that they would become key targets for the enemy's attack... Even tanks could drive in.

Therefore, they will be blocked after sufficient supplies are replenished.

"But we are planning to dig several similar transportation entrances five kilometers away!" Lieutenant General Lu Manlin spread out the map, searched for a while, then pointed to a point and said: "Here, at the rear of the main defense zone, Only when the enemy basically breaks through our defenses will we be threatened there! Once the war breaks out... we can get supplies from the German direction, and cars can drive into the warehouse to unload the supplies, and then transport these supplies to all directions by electric trains!"

"A place like this must do a good job of anti-infiltration work!" Qin Chuan said.

"You mean..."

"Cars can enter the warehouse directly!" Qin Chuan said: "What if an enemy spy drives a car full of explosives and sneaks in?"

Lieutenant General Lu Manlin's face couldn't help but change after hearing this.

"That's right!" He thought for a while and said, "We need to strengthen the investigation work!"

"It won't work!" Qin Chuan said: "The enemy's spies are everywhere, they can even incite our people to rebel and bring bombs in!"

"So... what should we do?" Lieutenant General Lu Manlin asked.

"Set up transfer stations!" Qin Chuan pointed to the map and said: "For example, set up two transfer stations within a six-kilometer radius. External cars can only arrive at the transfer station, and then return with an empty car... The rest will be left to us. Complete with reliable in-house fix! ”

"Good idea!" Lieutenant General Lu Manlin nodded, and then asked Major Fein beside him: "Did you remember it?"

"Of course, General!" Finn replied, "Exactly!"

Walking into the underground fortifications of the defense line, it is a different scene. The underground passages that were originally dark, humid, and hot, and required a flashlight to walk through them, are now brightly lit, with a row of electric lights at the top along the passage. Stretching all the way to the front, the air is also very fresh.

Every hundred meters, there will be a small recessed sentry post on both sides of the passage... That is for the use of sentries, and it is also to avoid the passage being blocked, such as when two carts or stretchers meet in the passage. One of them can be temporarily avoided at the small outpost.

"This is the result of restoring the power supply!" Lieutenant General Lu Manlin said with a smile: "God, I never realized that this is an underground city before. Otherwise, I should have moved in long ago!"

"General, I heard that you set up a command post here!" Qin Chuan asked, "You have been living there for a few days!"

"That's right!" Lieutenant General Lu Manlin replied: "And it feels pretty good. After staying for a few days, I feel a little uncomfortable in the villa!"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan nodded: "Just like I am used to targeting people instead of rabbits!"

Lieutenant General Lu Manlin couldn't help laughing.

Qin Chuan did not reveal that Lieutenant General Lu Manlin must have had psychological shadow after the last battle at the hunting ground... He was worried that the guerrillas or other organizations would be detrimental to him, and underground fortifications were obviously safer than villas. Much more.

In other words, this is where you can find security.

This is a bit like Hitler... Hitler could live in any high-end, luxurious villa, but he had to build bunkers one after another for himself, and endured mosquitoes, humidity and depression in them.

The reason is the lack of security.

This may not be a good thing for Lu Manlin, but it is obviously not a bad thing for Qin Chuan... The more insecure Lieutenant General Lu Manlin is, the more he will devote his mind to the construction of underground fortifications, and even dream about how to build it better and safer.

"Look, Lieutenant Colonel!" Lieutenant General Lu Manlin took a few steps and introduced in front: "The French even built an elevator here! With it, we can easily reach each floor. Of course, there are stairs next to it, in case there is a problem with the power supply or the elevator is blown up!"

Qin Chuan looked at the map... The entire underground fortification has seven floors. The bottom floor is used to store ammunition supplies. Above is the electric train, and above that is the field hospital, military station, etc., and then the top few floors are connected to the ground bunkers and armored towers.

"We should establish a unified standard for them!" Qin Chuan said: "For example, field hospitals, ammunition depots, etc., are fixed in a certain position! I mean, all underground fortifications are the same!"

"Why?" Lieutenant General Lu Manlin asked puzzledly.

"Because..." Qin Chuan replied: "In this way, even if our soldiers need to temporarily reinforce a certain area, they can easily find where they need to go!"
