One Hundred and Twenty Spanish Civil War

On the night of July 19, 1934. Berlin, the residence of the Führer.

"My head of state." As the first person in charge of the German intelligence service, Gasker has many unknown secret intelligence channels in Germany. At this moment, he is standing in front of Akado's desk with a look of admiration. Looking at his idol: "According to your prediction, we have strengthened the surveillance of Spain, and it has now been confirmed that just yesterday, the troops of Spanish Morocco had mutiny."

Akado nodded: "Well, since that's the case, then everything will go according to plan. Arrange our interest chain in Spain, and then we can make a price with our Spanish friends."

...

Because of the onset and continuation of the economic crisis, Spain at the western end of Europe is in turmoil. The communists controlled most of the territory, making Spain more and more inclined to become a second Soviet.

On July 18, 1934, Spanish troops stationed in Monaco clashed with local communists. The matter expanded rapidly under the impetus of the British government, triggering a series of vicious reactions in the Spanish colonies.

The unbearable Monaco garrison and local businessmen, who had been squeezed by the Spanish mainland and the republican government, negotiated and killed a group of pro-republican officials and soldiers, raising the banner of opposition to the republican government locally.

The Spanish colonial army in Monaco and the Canary Islands launched a rebellion under the instigation of generals such as Francisco Franco and Mora. The rebellion quickly spread to large and medium-sized cities such as Cadiz, Seville, Zaragoza, and Burgos. Most of the army and air force and the Moroccan "Foreign Legion" took part in the rebellion.

This force of more than 120,000 people seemed to be much more powerful than the Spanish Republican Army. Under the command of Franco and Mora, they also achieved certain results at the beginning of the war.

Franco's army took advantage of the hesitation of the republican government, and quickly occupied Spanish Morocco, the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands, and the northern and southwestern provinces of Spain. "In an attempt to attack Madrid from the north and the south, and then seize the national power.

However, the good times did not last long. Because of the opposition of the British Parliament and the unsatisfactory domestic economic situation, the original plan to support General Franco was finally aborted. Franco's army lost the only support of external forces and attacked Gradually slowed down, which also gave the republican government time to breathe.

The republican government traded land for time to respond. After the civil war broke out, people from all walks of life in Spain responded to the call of the Popular Front and took up arms to defend their republic. Within two days, a total of 300,000 people signed up for the militia, the People's Guard.

Subsequently, because they could not get the support promised by Franco, the supporters of Franco and others fought in large and medium-sized cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Valencia, Cartagena, Malaga, and Bilbao. Be calmed soon.

At this moment, Franco's army only controlled the economically backward provinces such as Andalusia in the south and Galicia, Navarra, and Old Castile in the north. The Republican Army controlled all industrial and political centers, major ports, major transportation routes, and important agricultural areas. At this stage of the war, everyone has seen that the situation is starting to turn against Franco.

In the general headquarters of Franco's army in Seville, Franco and several of his henchmen are studying the next countermeasures. And Mora, the second-in-command of Franco's army, has been sent to the front line in Cordoba to command the defensive operations.

"The war can't go on like this anymore!" Franco frowned while looking at the battle map on the table and said, "Although we have gained a firm foothold in Cadiz and Huelva, etc.,

However, the Republican Army still made up the vast majority. "

"General Franco! The British government's promise to support us has not been fulfilled, and they are still watching. If we continue to fight like this, we will run out of ammunition and food." A general stood behind Franco and persuaded : "The IRA, with the support of the French Communist Party and the Soviet government, is more willing to fight a war of attrition than we are."

"We can't expect the British to deliver on their promises! Maybe we should find some stronger supporters," an aide in a suit said to Franco. A communist state emerges at the western end of Europe."

"Of course I know that." Franco sighed and said: "But in order to be the first to attack, I only obtained the promise of the British government, and did not contact other countries. Now I am going to the door like this, and I will be forced to give up. huge national interest."

"But, Your Excellency! If we don't send our people to contact the countries at this time, then we will really lose this war! Once the Republican Army overwhelms our army, then we and the traitors who betray our country's interests will have no fate. any difference," said the aide.

"That's right! We can't sit still! We can lease ports, sell minerals, and even let the troops of those countries enter our territory, but we can't lose!" The general behind Franco said loudly: "As long as we win Well, sooner or later what was lost will be taken back! But if we fail, then we have no chance."

Franco nodded and said, "Since everyone feels that we should reconnect with supporters, let's make a good plan, which country should we turn to for help."

There was a sudden silence in the headquarters. After a few minutes, the staff who spoke up tentatively said a country in a not loud tone: "How about sending someone to Italy to try?"

"Italy can't do it!" Franco shook his head: "As far as I know, Italy, like the UK, is still struggling to take care of itself in the economic crisis. If they cheat us again like the British, we will really be doomed."

"Then go to Germany! At least the Germans didn't suffer huge losses in this economic crisis. They have come out of the economic crisis and have taken advantage of the annexation of Austria and Czechoslovakia." The aide thought for a moment. Want to suggest again: "If there is a country capable of supporting us, then I think this country must be Germany."

"The Germans have been very proud of themselves recently. They are going all the way east, and they seem to be preparing to act as anti-Soviet vanguards in Western countries. Will they have no interest in Spain?" Franco shook his head and questioned.

"Always give it a try," said the general behind Franco: "As long as we give them enough conditions, they will definitely be tempted!"

"You can try!" Franco nodded and said: "If it were me, I would not give up my immediate interests for a phantom enemy. The German leader Arkado Rudolph is not a fool, on the contrary he Very good at navigating strategic direction, he doesn't make mistakes at such critical moments."

Having said that, Franco looked at his staff, patted his shoulder and said solemnly: "I really don't have many people I can trust, so you can go to Germany in person, remember! Do your best to win their support! But when it comes to bargaining, don't back down too much! Too cheap prices will only make the Germans look down on us! Understand?"

"Report!" A soldier came in from the door and shouted loudly: "Report General! According to the information provided by our scouts, the Republican Army is gathering in the Cordoba area, and the number is about 10,000."

"It seems that the Republican Army doesn't intend to give us a chance to correct our mistakes!" Franco smiled bitterly, then walked to the map and looked at it carefully. After a few seconds, he nodded and said to the incoming signal soldier: "Telegram, order General Mora! Let him lead the troops of Cordoba, deploy the defense line immediately, and prepare for street fighting."

Then he looked at his staff again: "The situation is critical, whether we can achieve the final victory next depends on you."

The aide nodded: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency General! I will do my best to win the support of Germany!"

"Then, from now on, you are my personal envoy. Go get ready! I will arrange for you to rush to Cadiz tonight, where you will take a boat to Italy, and from Italy to Germany!"

Without any delay, the Spanish envoy arrived at the port of Cádiz in southwestern Spain that night, and hurried to Italy by boat, where he took the train to Germany and Austria. After seven days of tossing and turning, he finally arrived in Berlin, the capital of Germany.

After reporting his intentions, he was taken to the duty room by two SS soldiers and searched strictly, while another SS officer notified the Führer's guard office of his arrival.

"It seems that your prediction is accurate." Geer smiled and told Accardo that the Spanish envoy came to Germany: "It is not easy for him to come once. Because according to the information provided by our intelligence network, a day ago, Buddha Lango's army lost Cordoba."

Akado laughed loudly: "Arrange him to come in! This time, the good is delivered to our door by themselves. If I don't eat it, I feel sorry for them."

"Haha." Anna covered her mouth and laughed: "Mr. Fuhrer, you are so humorous."

Ten minutes later, the Spanish envoy was invited into the residence of the head of state and sat in front of the German head of state Arkado. He understood the purpose in a hurry, and then looked eagerly at the German leader in front of him: "Great German Führer. I hope you can help Spain get rid of the communist terror! I think the Spanish people will appreciate you. Great and generous."

"Everyone who knows me knows I'm a stingy." Accardo looked at the Spanish envoy with a smile, stood up, walked over and shook hands with him: "I don't buy a single piece of clothing for a few months, save a little bit of money. A meager salary, donated to the country for construction."

"The head of state...Sir." The Spanish envoy really didn't know what to call the head of state. It seemed that Your Excellency and His Highness were not very accurate, so he had to choose the word "Mr.": "I admire your selflessness and greatness very much, but we still Talk about the Spanish Civil War, after all my compatriots are suffering."

Akado nodded, then made a gesture of asking for a seat and said, "As you wish."
