Valdo is right.

Insufficient manpower is a major problem for the African Legion... What we are talking about here is not the shortage of people, but qualified management talents, workers, etc.

This is very helpless, just like Libya has a population of millions, Algeria has a population of tens of millions, and Tunisia, Morocco, etc. Germany has a very large population base, but the African legion is still short of people.

The reason is that North Africa has low education level and it is difficult to train them into qualified soldiers or laborers in a short period of time.

This is somewhat similar to India... India is a country with a large population, its population is close to China, and its average population age is still very young. Therefore, many countries, including Europe and the United States, have ulterior motives to advocate this. India will surpass China to become the largest labor market in the future, etc.

However, more than half of these huge characters are illiterate, and distinguishing whether illiterate only requires you to write your own name.

In other words, it is difficult for most of these populations to become qualified labor and create wealth. Therefore, a large population will not only not become the driving force for economic development, but will also pull back, because they are just mouths waiting to be raised one by one, and will also bring a high crime rate to society.

The situation in North Africa is similar, which is one of the reasons why most of the industry and commerce here are run by French and British.

Therefore, arms dealers like Waldo not only have equipment, but also have management talents and qualified labor, which are the most troublesome.

More importantly...Waldo judged that the German army would win people's hearts in Algeria, such as supporting the independence of local forces, and the practice of French camps, so it is impossible to carry out a large-scale cleaning.

After returning to the command center, Qin Chuan reported what Waldo said to Colonel Slein.

"Then!" Colonel Slain said with some concern: "If Valdo was allowed to dominate, would it certainly develop into what Dallang is worried about, that is, let him dominate?"

This is what is called monopoly. Merchants in this era always try every means to seek monopoly, because this means that they can start prices. Buyers such as the Zoafu Army and even the German army had to grit their teeth and buy these equipment at a high price when they were in urgent need of these strategic materials in the future.

"This may be a problem for Darlang, but it is not the case for us!" Qin Chuan replied: "Because the fist is in our hands, we can make him have nothing or even lose his life at any time!"

Colonel Slein nodded in agreement. The French should talk about the rule of law to the French, otherwise there would be a problem of people's support. However, the Germans did not have these concerns about the French, so the initiative was always in the hands of the German army.

"What's more!" Qin Chuan continued: "After absorbing these arms dealers, we will have two military systems, one is a military system controlled by us, and the other is a subsidiary of Valdo."

"You mean...we need to learn to use the legal equipment they produce?" Colonel Slain couldn't help frowning: "This will cause our equipment to be in chaos!"

Colonel Slein was right. Weapons and equipment are of standard and universal, and they are not suitable for mixed use. It is best to have all rifles models the same, and even the ammunition used by light machine guns is the same as the rifle, while the ammunition used by submachine guns and pistols is the same... In this way, there are only a few types of ammunition supplied, and there will be no multiple specifications of ammunition, so when transported to the front line, it will be discovered that the gun and ammunition are incorrect. This will definitely be a nightmare for logistics and combat.

From this we can also see how difficult it was for the Volunteer Army to use the equipment of the Wanguo Manufacturing Army to fight. However, before joining the war, the Volunteer Army also thought of a relatively simple method, which was to use the army to carry out standard equipment. For example, the 38th Army, known as the "Long Live Army", was equipped with all the 38th Army. In this way, the logistics troops would be sure to send bullets of the 38th Army to the top as soon as they heard that the 38th Army needed ammunition.

Of course Qin Chuan knew this, so he explained: "Col. We don't need these equipment... In fact, we do need these equipment, but it's not for our troops!"

Colonel Slain looked at Qin Chuan in confusion: "Is that for Zoafu Corps?"

"The demand for the Zoafu Corps is not high!" Qin Chuan said: "At least they have not been put into the battlefield so far!"

"Then you are talking about..."

"Guerrillas, colonels, guerrillas!"

Colonel Slain said "Oh".

Qin Chuan continued to explain: "Egypt, Greece, Libya... there are a large number of guerrillas in these areas, but they don't have much equipment!"

"At the same time, there is no problem with the guerrillas!" Colonel Slain nodded.

The guerrillas are different from the regular army. The regular army is on a large scale. Inconsistent combat with ammunition and equipment will cause chaos. The guerrillas only have hundreds or even dozens of people, and they can change places with one shot. There is basically no logistical chaos problem.

"Especially..." Qin Chuan continued: "These are French equipment, and French equipment produced by the French will be sold to the guerrillas in the future. At that time, the guerrillas will use these French equipment to fight the British. What should the British think?"

This is another breakthrough in challenging the conflict between France and the British and the Charles de Gaulle government under the control of Britain.

Of course, Qin Chuan would not tell Waldo about this in advance.

"I will report this to General Rommel right away!" Colonel Slain stopped hesitating when he heard this: "I think he would be happy to hear this good news!"

As Colonel Slain said, Rommel certainly would not have any objection to this, because it only benefits but does not harm the African Legion.

But Rommel added an opinion to it.

"We should absorb more talents, do you understand?" Rommel said: "I'm talking about the scientific researchers, managers and some special talents in the arms dealers, which is the most important thing!"

"I understand, general!" Qin Chuan and Colonel Slein replied.

Rommel also knows the importance of talent, but it is not surprising that industrial powers in this era all value talents.

As for helping Valdo gain dominance, it is only necessary to explain to Zemamuche, and the cooperation of the Zoafu Corps and Valdo, and even the Zoafu Corps sends some military forces to secretly support it, which is almost done.
