In Germany, the dwarf whipped Manuel's appetite and sped up his actions to assist the Franco rebels in their invasion of Spain proper.

In Italy, Mussolini hung Manuel in the same way, promising to "consider, time," but this side was increasing the aid to Franco.

From airplanes, tanks, large quantities of weapons and ammunition.

From the hundreds of millions of marks in Germany's financial aid to Italy's hundreds of millions of lira, Franco can be said to have risen overnight.

If you want money, you want people, weapons and ammunition, planes, tanks, everything.

The situation began to turn against the rebels, and the Spanish Republic was in jeopardy, and it was finally clear to Manuel that the two countries were playing him like a monkey.

But if he plays it, he really doesn't have any temper, and now just passing through the rebels in the Strait of Gibraltar is enough for him to stand it.

If Germany and Italy were angered again and directly sent troops to intervene, the republic would really be gg.

As a result, Xiao Er could only put his hope back on Britain and France while aggrieved.

"The Germans have begun to interfere in other countries' civil wars, and the wolf's ambitions are well known, why don't you take action and wait for the New Year?"

Unfortunately, he underestimated the insistence of Britain and France on the word 'forbearance'.

If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move, and it's not my people who are fighting anyway, so I can take the opportunity to see the strength of the Germans, and it would be better if I could take the opportunity to weaken the strength of Germany and Italy.

Although I don't plan to act, I still have to get by on the face.

Britain and France stepped up their propaganda and forcefully condemned Germany and Italy, and the spittle was about to splash out of the newspapers.

Then the British came to the aid of the aggrieved little El, providing 63 aircraft, more than 400 tanks, various weapons and ammunition, etc.

The prime minister waved his hand very generously: "You use these things first, and then we will talk about money after the war is over." ”

The implication is that this thing is lent to you first, and you still have to pay for it in the end.

Manuel was so angry that he wanted to rush to London to bite this stinky shameless man to death, but in front of him, he had to be grateful for the callback and thank the other party for his strong support.

France is really poor, and the government is unreliable, and it is overthrown and burdened every once in a while.

However, considering the geographical location and importance of Spain, I decided to give some help.

30 old fighters, 200 tanks, plus some military food and the like; ’

Manuel smashed his teeth and swallowed the blood in his stomach, gritted his teeth, tightened his belt and said, 'Let's do it yourself!'

With 300,000 soldiers conscripted from all over the country, this battle was still fought.

As soon as the republican faction and the rebels who started the war again exchanged fire, they were directly blinded by the intensity of the opponent's firepower.

Bullets and shells are like no money, just throw them at the opposite side, don't care if you can kill people or not, the momentum must be shot.

Lao Tzu has money, there are people, and he has no feelings, so he wants to kill you.

The war was unfavorable, which made Manuel sad, after all, the opposite side were all trained, and many of them were experienced soldiers who had experienced the war.

Except for a small number of middle and high-ranking generals who had not joined the rebellion, all he could rely on were temporarily recruited recruits.

There is no problem with the patriotic ideas of these people, but they have little experience on the battlefield, and they are defeated and run away when they are bombed indiscriminately at every turn, and the front line is constantly pushing back.

What made Numael even more desperate was that the support of Germany and Italy for the Franco rebels was endless, and all kinds of new weapons appeared on the battlefield.

Even new weapons that were secretly manufactured in Germany and never appeared were put into the war in small quantities.

And the aid he received was only some scraps of copper and iron that were about to be obsolete, and Britain and France did nothing but pay lip service to it.

"You're going to regret it. After meeting the British ambassador again, Numanel roared like an enraged lion: "Soon, everything that happens here will happen to you, and I am waiting for that day to come." ”

No one took Numanel's threat to heart, and to this day, the politicians of Britain and France are still basking in the glory of the past.

France is a little worried about this, but without the support of Britain and the complicated social, political, and economic situation at home, it can only be powerless.

Los Angeles, USA.

Castle of Dreams.

Li Zitao is entertaining a special guest in his castle, who has quietly arrived from war-torn Spain.

"Mr. Li, we need your help. Manuel, who was disguised as a member of the embassy, sat on the sofa with half an ass, looking eagerly at Li Zitao opposite.

"Drink tea. Li Zitao smiled unhurriedly and raised his hand.

The other party picked up the tea a little helplessly, put it to his mouth absentmindedly, and as soon as the hot tea touched his lips, he let out a 'wow' cry, and almost threw out the teacup.

"I understand your feelings, Mr. Representative, but you should know the position of the United States, Congress has extended the time limit for the neutrality bill, and you are at war. ”

Seeing that the other party was really in no mood to drink any tea, Li Zitao said in his heart, "It's really a waste of my good tea, it's better to use a cheap next time." ’

"Charlie, what do you want?" said the representative as he put down the tea and said with a fierce face.

It was not a threat to Li Zitao, but a kind of madness that was desperate and willing to do everything.

When it became known that Manuel was seeking help from 'Charlie Lee', the opposition within the republic was serious.

It is no secret that the weapons that flowed into the rebels from North America before the war, whether it was the Thomson T193L2 or the T193M1E, which became the butcher of the battlefield, cost the Republic dearly.

The crossfire network formed by three T193M1E can turn the battlefield in front of it into a meat grinder, and no matter how many people are invested, they will be crushed into meat puree.

90% of the oil used by Franco's rebels comes from the United States, and Mobil occupies the majority of this and is an important supplier of oil to the rebels.

These points alone are enough to hate Li Zitao within the republic, but now they have no other choice.

If it cannot be supported, the defeat of the republic is visible.

The rebels had taken full control of the southern province of Andalusia, and with the exception of a small group of surviving resistance forces, the rest of the main forces were either wiped out or hastily evacuated.

Although the northern front was controlled, the rebels who had arrived from Morocco opened a new front in the west with the help of German-supplied transport ships.

Now, the republic is faced with an embarrassing situation of being attacked on three sides.

Although the republican team was able to block the rebels' offensive by relying on the contraction of the defensive line, the assistance of Germany and Italy to the rebels continued, which was the crux of the matter.
