Volume Five: The Battle of Britain Chapter 106: The Changing Situation (2)
Madrid, the capital of Spain, a city that was deeply traumatized in the civil war. Although the ruins left on the battlefield have not been completely cleaned up, the citizens living in the city cannot see any pain in their expressions.
People are destined to be forgotten creatures. No matter how tragic the difficulties they have experienced, they will be destined to be forgotten soon. Time smooths out the deep memories in their minds, becomes silent under the intentional guidance of the government, and instead pays attention to distant and difficult-to-reach happiness.
On November 13, 1940, Madrid welcomed the leader of the Axis powers. The powerful and invincible head of the German Third Reich came here and he would have the closest conversation with the Spanish head of state Franco. However, before that, the citizens of Madrid prepared a traditional program specifically for the German head of state, which was bullfighting.
As the leader of a great power, he would inevitably be welcomed eagerly. The ceremony was grand and cumbersome. Franco personally led the important officials to pick them up. It took him an hour just to shake hands and brief conversations.
The German head of state who had just got off the plane was invited to the largest sports square in Madrid without any pause and entered the athletic hall called "Poseidon". When the German head of state stepped into the athletic hall that could accommodate 50,000 people, the tsunami-like cheer sounded like a wave, which shocked Xu Yang, who had just walked in, looked astonished. However, under his good psychological quality, he quickly smiled and waved to the crowd, and what he got was a wider cheer.
Although the square-shaped athletic hall looks extremely ancient, it is decorated with extremely heavy weight. The ribbons hanging upside down from the hanging beams are flying in the wind. The pulled horizontal strips give the scene a festive atmosphere.
It has to be said that the Third German Empire obtained good political capital for sponsoring the "Spanish Spears Association". After the Spanish Spears Party led by Franco won the civil war, the Spanish government and officials generally had a good impression of the Third German Empire.
Under the leadership of the government, ordinary people in Spain would not dislike the German Third Reich, especially in the past year, the German Third Reich may have almost perfect victory in the war. Spain is envious. It is not surprising that the favorable feelings for various reasons have turned into worship of certain politicians of the German Third Reich for various reasons.
The Spanish Spear Society was actually the Spanish Fax Party. The party was founded by J Primo Driesville in October 1933. In February of the following year, it merged with another Fax organization National Syndromesist Offensive Committee, with a total of about 3 members.
In November 1934, Primo Drieswella formulated 26 programs for him, and based on the political totalitarianism advocated by the Italian priest, Mussolini, called for the establishment of the Fassian dictatorship through the "national revolution" to "oppose the current system" and establish the Fassian dictatorship. In order to stop the expansion of fascist forces, in January 1936, democratic organizations such as the Spanish Communist Party and the Spanish Workers' Socialist Party formed the *People's Front.
In July 1936, reactionary forces with the Spike Party as the core launched a rebellion against the Republican government. In November of the same year, Primo Driesville was executed by the government. In 1937, Franco became the leader of the party. On April 19 of the same year, he joined forces with the Carlos and the royalists who claimed to be traditionalists and changed the party to the Spanish Traditional Spike Party and the State Syndrometic Offensive Committee. From then on, the Spike Party became a huge group that united the Spanish counter-revolutionary forces.
After the end of the Spanish Civil War, the party became the only legal party in the country. From January 25, 1939, the Spike Party members wore unified uniforms. When they met, they had to salute each other in the "ancient Roman way" (stretching forward, that is, the Nazi hand raising ceremony) and had their own armed militia and youth organization.
At the end of July 1939, according to the decree signed by Franco, a new Constitution of the Long Gun Party was formulated, requiring members of the organization to abide by the strictest discipline and absolutely obey orders, and advocate "nationalism" and militarism. The hope is to free the state from all "ills" of class society by implementing the totalitarian system and establish a cooperative empire that maintains the "traditional" of Spain. The party controlled the state machine and "industrial trade unions", the university student union and other organizations, in an attempt to "partyize the Long Gun" of the country's political life.
As Spain's only legal party, the Spanish Spikes is currently a mutual aid alliance of the German political party, the National Socialist Party. Its leader Franco can even be said to be the most loyal ally of the German head of state-run Kahn von Stark.
Of course, the reason why Spain became an ally of Germany is very simple. The "interest" of the Third Reich who helped the Spikes during the Civil War could not bring Spain to the chariot of the Axis power. In order to win the largest country in Western Europe, Germany still paid a lot of economic and military aid.
Franco was born on December 4, 1892 in the Elferol military officer family. He entered the Infantry Academy in 1907; in 1912, he went to Morocco to participate in the Spanish Colonial War; in 1915, he was promoted to major; in 1926, he was promoted to brigade general.
During the period of the military ** of the Primo de Rivira, Franco was appointed as the dean of the Zaragoza Military Academy. After the establishment of the Second Republic, he was disqualified from his active duty military qualification. In 1933, conservative forces controlled the Republic and were reused. In 1934, he was promoted to major general. In 1935, he served as chief of staff of the Army.
Spain held a general election in February 1936, and the People's Front won the victory. Franco was transferred to the Canary Islands as military commander. On July 18, 1936, General San Hurjo, stationed in Morocco, led a rebellion against Spain, namely the Spanish Civil War. Later, San Hurjo was destroyed on a plane on the way from Portugal to Spain. Franco took advantage of this unexpected opportunity to ascend to the throne of the rebel leader.
In his childhood, with the support of Adolf Hitler of Germany and Mussolini of Italy, he suppressed the people's struggle against Fax. On October 1, 1936, he served as the Grand Marshal of the Land, Navy and Air Forces. After nearly three years of civil war, on March 21, 1939, the Franco army occupied Madrid, overthrew the republican government, and established the rule of the **.
Franco was appointed as the head of state and abolished all other political parties. The Long Guns were the only legal party. The representative system of the Republican period was abolished, and the law "on all power belongs to the head of state". The powers such as legislation, administration and judicial were all held by him. He appointed him, all the ministers of the cabinet, all military, political officials and even bishops, and he approved all laws and decrees.
At this time, the only leader in Spain was talking and laughing with the German head of state to go to the luxuriously arranged table. The topic they talked about would not deviate from the current reality, and the most talked about in the topic was the Battle of Britain that was being held.
After all the politicians sat down one after another, according to the practices of countries around the world, Franco first stood up and published some comments about welcoming the German head of state and congratulating the German allies on their continued victory. He inevitably talked about his own hard-working journey, and repeatedly emphasized that "the happiness of the people today is hard-won" should carry forward more "hard work (referring to being exploited silently)" and insist on implementing the spirit of "struggle and development and not fearing difficulties (referring to being ruled to be at peace, and any non-mainstream rhetoric will be harmonious and eliminated from the spirit and even **)".
The speech was stinky and long. There was nothing new except for the old tune and the brainwashing homework that always happened. There was no practical example in the conversation, except that the slogan was still a slogan.
At the end of the long speech, no matter what the reason was, the people present gave warm applause to the leaders' conversation. Um... If you pay attention to the observation, at least half of the people present had a confused expression, and the rest were either drowsy or wandering in the sky. There were only a few "child caregivers" and "iron rice bowl civil servants" who were afraid of being punished, applauded desperately with excitement on their faces.
The numb and used to silence are the easiest lambs to rule. As long as they can eat a bite of food and avoid starving to death, these lambs are extremely easy to raise "far people" to be raised in captivity. Under the rule of the great Franco, the long live long spear association will continue to brainwash spiritually, harmoniously and even eliminate them from practical actions, and jointly build a great xxist new Spain!
Well... After the great Franco finished his speech, he did not forget to invite the German head of state to make an important speech, which made the German head of state who was not prepared in advance feel sincerely unhappy.
However, the German head of state still walked onto the podium. He looked around at the Spanish people who were almost all dull, and said in a very in line with the will of the people: "I can't wait to watch the wonderful bullfight, let the show start!"
Those who thought that another leader would have to spit on the podium for at least half an hour or even longer saliva were stunned at first, and then... from the sincere cheers, you could still hear a small sigh: "Look, they are efficient in everything they do, unlike our government officials who have endless formalism, and just seeing continuous spitting without any practical actions."
When the German head of state turned around, he seemed to be able to observe the embarrassment that Franco had hidden very well. As an Axis leader, he smiled with a reserved smile, sat down and whispered: "I have not had enough rest time since the war broke out. I rushed to your country immediately after inspecting the occupied land. The long journey is exhausting."
With an explanation, Franco was a little easier. He smiled understandingly: "Spain seems very stable on the surface, but in fact there are still many problems inside. Those hidden opponents still did not give up. Therefore, I can only act like this all the time."
The German head of state nodded with great understanding. Spain, which has a history of civil war, was destined to be careful under a one-party dictatorship regime. After all, the existing rulers have obtained power from the civil war. How could they not be afraid of being beaten by another wave of "uprising" and being kicked off as a new loser?
