Southern Europe, Spain.

The madness of Germany and Italy undoubtedly shows how strong their support for Franco is.

Portugal also followed suit and provided Franco with large quantities of war materials.

This made the situation facing the Spanish Republic even worse, but the follow-up support of the army that Italy had promised was delayed.

In the Ethiopian region, the rearmament of the guerrillas dealt a heavy blow to the Italian army.

Two arsenals were blown up, a tank battalion was destroyed by a suicide attack, and they were like a bunch of rats hiding in a dirty ditch.

Whenever you try to find them and kill them, these guys disappear cleanly, and when you're not looking, they sneak out and wreak havoc.

Because of this, General Bono's hair turned white.

The war, which was originally expected to end in 10 months, has now been fought for a year and a half, and the Italian army is like falling into a quagmire, and the more it struggles, the deeper it falls.

Mussolini could not accept defeat and sent more soldiers, tanks and planes to Eritrea to launch an offensive against the Egyptian army in anger.

However, it was all in vain.

The Italian troops in Ethiopia have lost their fighting spirit, and the daily attacks and harassment have left them physically and mentally exhausted.

Now they just want to go home early, those damn rats are just too hard to catch.

These guerrillas are scattered throughout Ethiopia, and every time they wipe out one strand, countless strands break off.

Residents on the outskirts of the city would help them, someone would provide them with weapons, and a random woman walking by in the street might be the eye of the guerrillas.

It's a terrible feeling.

Compared to Italy, which was mired in the quagmire, German troops were able to support it.

The 16,000-strong support force, nicknamed the 'Vulture Legion', arrived in Portugal in early December to join the already chaotic Western Front.

They also brought large quantities of advanced weapons from Germany to support Franco's rebel forces and to record the performance of the weapons in actual combat.

The Spanish battlefield was no longer just a matter of rebellion within the country, it also became a training ground, a military academy, and a weapons testing ground for Germany.

The front line of the collision and confrontation of Western capital, FSXISM and ** ideas.

In order to ensure that Spain becomes an FXS-Front, the dwarfs raised the financial aid to Franco to 2 billion marks,

The Soviet Union, which saw Germany's direct participation in the war, also increased its support for the Spanish republican government, and the president of the republic also sent representatives to actively campaign.

By this time, the attitude of Britain and France had changed.

The French, who originally wanted to support the government of the Republic but were about to sell their pants, had a feeling that they were suffering from the enemy and could not sleep well, and once again declared their 'neutrality' position.

Britain became anxious, and the performance of German-backed weapons on the battlefield and the rampant actions of the German-Italian FXS made them feel a real threat.

Thus, at the end of 1936, Britain officially announced that the Strait of Gibraltar would be under control from this day onwards, and no armed force would be allowed to pass through.

The British Navy fleet stationed in the port of Gibraltar was decommissioned, and no longer appeared idle.

Withstanding the threat of German and Italian expulsion and battleships, they sailed out of the harbor and completely blocked the Strait of Gibraltar from south to north.

But given the power of Germany and Italy, the anti-war ideology at home, the mess in India, and the relations of the Comintern, Britain again rejected Spain's request for assistance.

At the same time, in Madrid, the capital of Spain, volunteers from all over the world formed the first anti-FXS volunteer army, that is, the international column.

These people, from all different countries, the proletariat and freedom-loving people, formed an international column and signed their names under the oath.

"I came here voluntarily to save freedom in Spain and in the whole world, and I will give my last drop of blood if needed. ”

There are many Chinese workers living in Europe and the United States and other countries, or ** members.

Hua Guo also sent a pennant for this purpose, which read, 'The people of Hua Guo unite to defeat the public enemy of mankind FXS.' ’

The arrival of these people was both a relief and a frustration to the government of the Spanish Republic, because from this moment on, they had been completely abandoned by the West.

From the initial wait-and-see, to sympathy and assistance, to later indifference, until now after the establishment of the international column, the attitude of Western countries has changed to 'instigation'. ’

They were more afraid of the Red Ideas of the Comintern than the German-Italian FXS.

In order to completely stifle this idea, Western countries would rather sit back and watch the FXS grow stronger, even if it will pay the price.

Now, the signs of future war are becoming clearer.

Each country is buying time for itself, a more favorable environment, delaying the speed of the war.

Except for the French, who can't even stabilize the government, it's completely gone.

......

......

Fort Segil, Morocco.

A war started suddenly and ended very quickly.

The rebels stationed at Fort Segil did not expect the enemy to come from behind at all.

Franco had reached a formal cooperation agreement with Germany, and just after returning from Germany, he received the bad news that the 6,000-strong army of Ségir Burg had been crushed.

The weapons, ammunition, and food reserves were all engulfed in the fire, and nothing was spared.

The death toll reached more than 3,000, and the rest of the soldiers were either wounded or fled.

Bad news followed, one after another, and the second tranche of funds aided by Germany, up to 500 million marks in gold, was robbed near the Moroccan capital.

The German-aided plane was destroyed by a mysterious man in the middle of the night, the engine was damaged, and it would take at least 20 days to repair it.

Small rebel groups have emerged in Morocco, attacking their transport trucks and companies and businesses that are helping the rebels.

"Where are the corpses of the enemy?

Under the anger, he is like an irritable grizzly bear, and no one dares to provoke his edge.

"The methods of those people were cruel, the bodies left at the scene were directly burned, the faces were damaged to the point that they were unrecognizable, they were professional. ”

Hearing his men's report, Franco pulled out his pistol and bang.

The deputy fell to the ground, and the people around him shrunk their necks and lowered their heads, and took a few steps back tremblingly.

"I'll tell you what a profession is, even if they are evil spirits and ghosts from hell, they will die if they are hit by bullets. Franco said in a grim tone.

"For 10 days, if these people still exist, there is no need for you to exist. Coldly inserting the pistol back into the holster, Franco walked out without looking back.

Now he was going to the other side and personally direct the battle in southern Spain.

As long as he can take Spain, he can free up his hands at any time to clean up the little mice in Morocco, which is more important Franco knows very well in his heart.
