Chapter 0733 Civil War Four
Southern Europe, Spain.
The crazy actions of Germany and Italy undoubtedly show how firm their support for Franco is.
Portugal also followed and provided Franco with a large amount of war supplies.
This worsened the situation facing the Spanish Republic, but Italy's originally promised army support was not yet seen.
In Ethiopia, the re-armed guerrillas hit the Italian army with a heavy blow.
Two arsenals were blown up and a tank battalion was destroyed by suicide attacks, like a group of mice hiding in dirty ditches.
Whenever you want to find them to kill them, these guys will disappear completely. When you are not careful, they will sneak out and cause some damage.
Because of this, General Bono's hair was whiter.
The war, which was originally expected to end in 10 months, has been fighting for a year and a half now. The Italian army is as if it has fallen into a quagmire, and the more it struggles, the deeper it gets.
Mussolini could not accept the failed ending and transported more soldiers, tanks and planes to Eritrea, and launched an offensive against the Egyptian army with anger.
But, all this is in vain.
The Italian troops in Ethiopia no longer have the fighting spirit, and their daily attacks and harassment have caused their physical and mental fatigue.
Now they just want to go home early, those damn mice are so hard to catch.
These guerrillas are spread throughout the country of Ethiopia. Whenever they destroy one, countless guerillas will split.
The residents of the suburbs will help them, and some people are providing them with weapons, and the women who walk by the streets may be the eyeliner of the guerrillas.
This feeling is really bad.
Compared to Italy, which was trapped in the quagmire, the German army has arrived.
Mainly air force, with a force of 16,000, and the support force nicknamed the "Vulture Legion", arrived in Portugal in early December and joined the already chaotic Western Front battlefield.
They also brought a large number of advanced weapons from Germany to support Franco's rebel forces and recorded the data performance of weapons in actual combat.
The Spanish battlefield is no longer a problem of rebellion within the country, it has also become a training ground, military academies, and weapons testing ground for Germany.
The front line of the collision and confrontation between Western capital, FSXism and communist ideas.
To ensure that Spain becomes a FXSister Front, the Dwarf increased its financial assistance to Franco to 2 billion marks,
Seeing that Germany directly participated in the war, the Soviet Union also increased its support for the Spanish Republican government, the president of the Republic also sent representatives to actively run.
At this time, the attitudes of Britain and France changed.
The Frenchman who originally wanted to support the Republican government, who was poor and about to sell shorts, felt as if he was attacked from both sides and could not sleep or eat, and once again announced his "neutral" position.
Britain became anxious. The performance of German-supported weapons on the battlefield and the rampant actions of German-Italy FXS made them truly feel the threat.
Therefore, at the end of 1936, Britain officially announced that the Strait of Gibraltar will enter control from today and no armed forces may pass.
The British Navy fleet stationed in the Port of Gibraltar was set off and no longer showed nothing to do.
They were driven out of the port by Germany and Italy and threatened by battleships, and completely blocked the Strait of Gibraltar after leaving the port from south to north.
However, taking the power of Germany and Italy, as well as domestic anti-war ideas, India's mess, and the relationship between the Communist International, Britain once again rejected Spain's request for aid.
At the same time, in Madrid, the capital of Spain, volunteers from all over the world formed the first anti-FXS volunteer army, namely the international column.
These people come from different countries, are proletariat and people who love freedom. They form an international column and sign their names under the oath.
"I volunteered to come here, and to save the freedom of Spain and the whole world, I will give the last drop of blood if needed."
Among them are many Chinese workers or communist members who live in Europe and the United States.
For this, the Chinese Kingdom also sent a banner with the words "The Chinese people unite to defeat the public enemy of mankind."
The arrival of these people made the Spanish Republic government both relieved and helpless, because from this moment on, they had been completely abandoned by Western countries.
From the initial wait-and-see, to the sympathy and aid, to the later indifference, until now after the establishment of the International Column, the attitude of Western countries has changed to ‘instigation’.
Compared with German and Italian FXSism, they are more afraid of the red concept of the Communist International.
In order to completely kill this concept, Western countries would rather sit idly by and watch the FXS power grow even if they pay the price for it.
Now, the signs of future wars are becoming clearer and clearer.
Every country is buying time for itself, a more favorable environment, and delaying the speed of war.
Except for the Frenchman who cannot even stabilize the government, it has been completely destroyed.
...
...
Morocco, Sergil Fort.
A war suddenly broke out and ended soon.
The rebels stationed in Fort Segil did not expect that the enemy would come from behind.
Franco reached a formal cooperation agreement with Germany. As soon as he returned from Germany, he received the bad news. The 6,000-man legion of Sergill Fort was defeated.
The weapons, ammunition and food stored were all engulfed by the fire, and nothing could be spared.
The death toll reached more than 3,000, and the rest of the soldiers were either injured or escaped.
The bad news followed one by one, and the second batch of funds aided by Germany, up to 500 million marks of gold, were stolen near the capital of Morocco.
The German-aided plane was destroyed by a mysterious person in the middle of the night and the engine was damaged. It would take at least 20 days to repair it.
A small number of rebel forces appeared in Morocco, attacking their transport vehicles and companies, enterprises and other companies that provide assistance to the rebels.
"Where are the corpses of the enemy? Can no one recognize them?" As the power intensified, Franco's momentum became stronger and stronger.
In anger, he was like an irritable grizzly bear, and no one dared to touch his edge.
"These people's methods were cruel. The bodies left at the scene were burned directly and their faces were damaged so much that they could not be identified. They were professional."
Hearing his subordinates' reports, Franco took out his pistol and bang.
The deputy fell to the ground, and the people around him shrank their necks and lowered their heads, and took a few steps back tremblingly.
"I'll tell you what professionalism is. Even if they are evil ghosts and ghosts from hell, they will die if they are hit by bullets." Franco said in a gloomy tone.
"If these people still exist in 10 days, there is no need for you to exist." He indifferently inserted his pistol back into the holster, and Franco walked out without deciding his head.
Now he is going to the opposite side and command the battle himself in southern Spain.
As long as he can win Spain, he can free up his hands to deal with the little mice in Morocco at any time. Franco knew very well what was more important.
