Chapter 141: The Condor Legion

Hitler's love for Cirek can be seen!

Last time, Ciric went to the United States and almost suffered a traffic accident, which made Hitler regret it quite a bit, and from that time, he decided not to send Ciric abroad. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Ciric's role in the rear is even greater! For example, under the auspices of Ciric, Germany's military equipment is developing at an unprecedented speed, and a few days ago, Hitler had just heard about the plan for atomic energy, and he was quite pleasantly surprised, and immediately made a decision, investing 100 million German marks in advance to vigorously support development.

At the same time, Ciric was also the commander of the SS, responsible for the development of Hitler's direct legions, and was also a confidant of Hitler's henchmen.

Now, to put Ciric on the battlefield, Hitler is absolutely reluctant!

"Führer, I'm willing to go." At this moment, Ciric took the initiative to ask for battle: "As a soldier of the Empire, we will definitely not be afraid of danger, and it is the glory of every soldier to die on the battlefield!" ”

"Only a naturally weak species would consider it cruel...... Those who want to survive must struggle, and those who do not want to struggle do not deserve to live in this world of eternal struggle. Even if it is cruel, it is an objective reality. Ciric's words were flat, but they lifted everyone's spirits.

Go, why not? This is a good opportunity.

Ciric was not going to go, but now, after being pushed out by Himmler, Cirek has a duty.

Dangerous? What is not dangerous, you may fall into a well when you walk, you may choke on water, and Ciric is not afraid of any danger.

On the contrary, there are dangers that go hand in hand, gains.

Now, Ciric's hand can only be extended to the SS, and in the Wehrmacht, Ciric's influence is not very large, especially in the Air Force, which is controlled by Goering, and whoever dares to put his hand into the Air Force is simply stealing Goering's wife.

And this time in the Spanish Civil War, Germany will send all the air force pilots to Spain in turn, so that Ciric will be familiar with all the air force pilots! Command them and gain their respect, which will be quite useful for Ciric's future development!

Those Junker soldiers, who had always thought that Ciric had no bullshit ability, but commanded the most powerful legions, were very unconvinced by Ciric, and through this battle in Spain, they were even more supported by the Junkers officer corps!

In an instant, Ciric thought of many benefits that made it worth a try for him to go to Spain!

Moreover, Ciric did not have any pressure, because, as history has long proven, in the end, the international column supported by the Soviet Union failed and went away in disgrace, while the Franco government, supported by Germany, succeeded!

It's destined to win, isn't it a good choice to brush up on the record? Why refuse?

Therefore, hearing Himmler's recommendation, Ciric simply took the initiative to ask.

"As long as Commander Goering agrees." Ciric continued: "Goering, do you go or do I go? ”

"Führer, I think Ciric is a good one." Goering immediately made a choice, and there was no need for Goering to argue with Ciric about this. At this time, he had not yet figured out that whoever went to Spain would be able to command his air force.

"Okay, that's it." Hitler said: "Ciric, you must pay attention to your own safety, it is your duty to command in the rear, to go to the front line, not bravely, but recklessly." By the way, shouldn't we have a resounding name for the army we went out this time? ”

"Führer, how about I suggest calling the Condor Legion?" Ciric said.

Condor Legion! Hearing the name, Goering immediately agreed: "Yes, that's a good name!" ”

Completely highlighting his Air Force, Goering was satisfied.

"Okay, then call the Condor Legion, our army, be ready to go to Spain at any time!" Hitler was also satisfied.

Germany, everything is ready, however, there is still one thing left before Germany intervenes in the internal affairs of Spain, Franco's request.

Fortunately, Hitler was not made to wait long.

On 20 July, General Sanjujo of Lisbon, intending to go to northern Spain to join General Mora in command of the National Army, was on a plane that crashed, leaving the command of the Spanish armed forces divided between Mora in the north and Franco in the south.

A day later, the government's national army had seized a naval base in northwestern Spain, and the officers in the navy who supported the national army were shot dead by sailors loyal to the government, seizing command and blockading the Spanish coast.

And Franco, who was originally based in Morocco, and his main forces were all in Africa, so that the only way to send his Afrika Korps to Spain was to be airlifted.

Franco, on the other hand, did not have a transport plane.

July 25, evening.

The sky outside was dark, there was not a single star in sight, and the raindrops the size of beans kept falling from the sky, smashing on the ground, splashing one after another.

It's pouring rain, and it's pouring down.

Bayreuth, Wagner family villa.

Several hurried personnel flashed into the villa, and they handed the raincoats they were wearing to the servants who answered, and when they took off their raincoats, they revealed their tall bodies, they were all soldiers.

"Great Führer, it is a great pleasure to meet you." The visitor said to the mustache sitting on the sofa in a very respectful tone: "We are here on behalf of General Franco. ”

"You may be seated." Hitler said politely.

"Great Führer, our current war has reached its most difficult time, and now, we very much hope that you will volunteer to send ten transport planes to help us transport our troops." The other party's tone was urgent.

Spain's plea for help has finally arrived! Hitler immediately said generously: "Well, no problem at all, we can send twenty transport planes, and, in addition, six fighter planes to escort us." ”

Hitler's generosity surprised those who arrived, and they continued: "It's just that we don't have much money right now. ”

The wealth of the country is in the hands of the left-wing government, and in the hands of General Franco, there really is not much money.

"The question of money, I'll talk about it later." Hitler was quite generous: "Now we will fully support General Franco." ”

Spain is rich in natural resources, accounting for 50 percent of the world's pyrite mining and 45 percent of the world's mercury mining.

Spain's strategic position is extremely important as the choke point from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic. If the red "Popular Front" were in power in Spain, Hitler would also be intolerable.

There is an even more important one, Spain, and France are feuds!

With Franco's plea for help and Hitler's consent, the battle of the Condor Legion officially began!
