From the beginning of 1938, the Soviet Union worked to free its so-called "neutrals" from the Spanish Civil War. As the war was far from over, negotiations were also on and off.

On April 15, 1938, José finally relied on the Seven-Power Coalition to surround the remnants of the rebels and proclaimed the Spanish Federal Government. On the same day, José explicitly rejected all the conditions and demands put forward by the Soviet Union, and since then, the diplomatic negotiations between the Soviet Union and Spain have completely broken down for months.

When the news reached Moscow, in a fit of rage, the Soviet Union severed all diplomatic relations with Spain and expelled the staff of the Spanish agency in Moscow and their families.

On 16 April, the Seven-Nation Coalition began its final general assault on the rebels' entrenched lair, and in an instant, heavy artillery fire was overwhelming, flying towards the positions of the militants as if they had long eyes, and then the armored vehicles covered the infantry and quickly penetrated in depth.

The recalcitrant rebels had no food and grass and no rescuers, and after several days of siege, they had long since run out of ammunition and food. In the face of a powerful attack, he could only hide in cover and dare not show his head.

At 15 o'clock in the afternoon, the commander-in-chief of the operation, Colonel Vida, saw a white flag waving from side to side from a distance, and hurriedly signaled all troops to suspend the attack.

Soon after the artillery stopped, I saw a dark, thin man running towards the coalition attack force with a white cloth.

"Distinguished chiefs, we are willing to surrender, but we want to speak directly with Acting Vice President Francisco Franco, yes, we need a commitment, and it is important." The thin black man said breathlessly.

The man in front of him must have come to surrender, and may even represent the wishes of other rebels. Colonel Vida didn't understand Spanish, only knew that the man had mentioned Franco's name, and then looked back at his men in a very helpless manner.

"Hey! Don't be stunned, do you know Spanish? ”

Vader's question went unanswered, and the people standing next to her shook their heads.

"Oh God! It's a fucking shame to have been thrown to Spain, where it's not been a day or two since the war has been going on, and it's not even thought of communicating in the local language. Vader said to her subordinates self-deprecatingly.

In fact, before the troops entered Spain, each company was staffed with a Spanish interpreter, and Vida was just joking in the middle of the tense battle.

"Sir, he said the word Franco, I guess it was the acting vice president nominated by Spain yesterday, but the rest is not known." Said a soldier.

Vader smiled, praised the soldier, and then gestured to comfort the rebel soldier who had voluntarily surrendered, and told him to sit down and rest.

"You're German?" The black skinny soldier asked in surprise.

"Hey, this guy knows German?" Vader was very surprised and said to the people around her.

"Yes, sir, I worked in a factory in Germany for several years, and we lost our jobs again because the automated system replaced manual operations." The soldiers spoke fluent German.

"Okay, let's get down to business, what do you want to do?" Vinda went straight in.

"We want to surrender to the government, sir. We don't want to fight anymore, yes, we face death every day, but you know, we have old and young......"

Vader thoughtfully reached out and shook his hand to tell him to stop talking.

"Are there French and Soviets in there?" Vader asked, staring at the soldiers.

"This ...... Maybe...... I don't know very well. "Squeak, squeak, squeak.

"You just say yes or no!" Vader was a little angry.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes! But some have already been shot and died. The soldier said timidly.

"I didn't ask you if there were dead people, living French and Soviets, you have to tell the truth, otherwise, there will be you good-looking when the time comes." Vader said, tossing him a cigarette.

"Yes, there are all, if it weren't for them, we would have surrendered a long time ago, and after several days of fighting, everyone was tired, and I ran out while they were napping." The soldier picked up the cigarette on the ground, borrowed a fire from the others, and then smoked it desperately.

"Can they sleep under such heavy artillery fire?" Vader didn't believe it.

"I haven't slept for a few days, but I don't feel the shells hitting my body." The soldier said.

"Well, I want you to get back to your original team right away, as soon as possible. Come here......" Vader whispered in his ear.

"Oh, I see." The surrender suddenly realized.

"Go!" Vader pulled a few packs of cigarettes out of his pocket and threw them at him.

The soldiers hurriedly picked it up, bowed and thanked them repeatedly, and then ran back in a puff of smoke.

"Listen, take cover and get ready to shoot, but no one is allowed to shoot without my orders. From now on, keep quiet, and I'm going to get these bitches to get a good night's sleep. Vader said as she waved everyone back behind cover.

Twenty minutes later, there was finally some movement on the opposing position, and several armed men in civilian clothes sneaked behind the cliff to probe their brains, kept sneaking in the direction of the ambush of the attacking troops, and then quickly retreated.

After about a few more minutes, the soldier walked out from behind the rocks, still holding the white cloth. Behind him were more than a hundred young men with empty hands. As they slowly walked to the bottom of the slope, Vida found that there were indeed a dozen foreigners in the team who were tied up and tied up tightly, presumably the French and Soviets who had done a lot of harm to the Spaniards.

About fifty meters away, Vader told them to stand still, and then walked over one by one with their shirts in their hands and their heads in their hands.

The surrendered soldier immediately offered to act as an interpreter and asked the surrendered militants to do as they were told.

"All the numbers are counted, sir. 117 Spanish; 7 French nationals; 9 from the Soviet Union; And the other is a German national. "The clerk reported to Vida.

"Hey! What the hell is weird, there's a German in there? Dequeue! Let Lao Tzu see what he looks like! Vader commanded loudly with his hands behind his back.

At this moment, a middle-aged man stood out of the team tremblingly.

"Tell me how you got involved with the rebels." Seeing that this man was honest, Vader was no longer so stern.

"Sir, I am a native of Freiburg, Stuttgart, and my family moved to Spain to escape the war during the First World War. Later, because of the difficulties in my family's life, the Catholics recruited troops in the countryside, and I came out with them. The German surrendered to answer Vida's question.

"Is there anyone else on your ground?"

"No, the rest are all dead."

"Want to go back to Germany?" Vader asked.

"Yes!" The German surrender did not hesitate to answer.

"Okay, you go back and prepare, and wait for me with all your family in Beiwan of the Lily Palace in Madrid the day after tomorrow." Seeing that he was honest and honest, Vader decided to help him.

Next, Vida ordered some men to clean up the battlefield, some to guard the prisoners, and the rest to organize their weapons and ammunition, and sent several secretaries-general with the German surrender to Madrid to report the news, and inform the president, vice president, and other government officials to prepare for surrender.

José was overjoyed, rewarded the warriors of the Seven Kingdoms that night, and placed all the troops in the Sagrada Familia on the outskirts of Madrid, where they awaited education and salvation.

On April 17, José got up early in the morning and planned to rush to the outskirts with all the government officials to surrender. As soon as he walked to the gate of the presidential palace, the diplomat of the Soviet Permanent Representative Office in Madrid asked for a meeting. Seeing that he could no longer avoid it, President José had no choice but to signal the other officials to take the first step, and then apparently very politely invited the Soviet diplomat into the meeting room.

As soon as they were seated, the Soviet diplomat went straight to the point, formally issuing an ultimatum to the federal government of the Netherlands, and limiting the Jose government to release all Soviet "neutral" armed personnel detained within three days, or else resort to force.

"Your Excellency, is your country making a request or an order from Spain?" José asked the Soviet diplomat in a mocking tone.

"I'm very sorry, but I just truthfully expressed the wishes of the top level of my country, and as for the question you just raised, it depends on how His Excellency the President understands it." The Soviet diplomat said arrogantly.

"Oh! You just called me president? Jose asked with a smile.

"Yes, Your Excellency. Is there anything wrong with that? The representative of the Soviet side asked puzzled.

"Oh! No! No, no! There's nothing wrong with that. Great, since you have just called yourself president, that is, you have recognized the legitimacy of your own government, I am very happy, it shows that noble Soviets have also learned to respect others, which is a surprise discovery......" Jose's words embarrassed the Soviet diplomat.

"Well, Your Excellency, I have no time or interest in discussing with you the legitimacy of the Spanish Government, I just want to get your answer now, it's as simple as that." Soviet diplomats looked a little restless.

"Your Excellency, why do you think these people should be released?"

"According to our investigation, these people have no political leanings, and they do not participate in any armed factions in your country, and they are at best international friends."

"Your Excellency is telling a lie with your eyes open, these men are still resisting with arms until they are captured, and they have caused great casualties to the government forces, and in view of the crimes they have committed in Spain, they must be tried and punished by Spanish law."

"This is a red mouth and white teeth, framed! Our personnel have always adhered to an objective and impartial attitude in all parties in Spain, with the aim of promoting reconciliation between the political and anti-political parties, and it should be said that they have made great contributions. ”

"None of us have to say what we say about merit or demerit, everything must be told by facts." Jose was very angry when he found out that the Soviet diplomats deliberately reversed black and white.

"The task I have accepted is to ask your country to release the people unconditionally, and I am not interested in their merits and demerits." The Soviet diplomats were a bit of a trickster.

"Forgive me! Excellency. They must be held accountable for their actions and severely punished by the law. "José's attitude is still tough.

"Oh! Mr. President should know very well that they are Soviet, guilty or not guilty The Soviet Union will investigate and understand, Spain has no right to adjudicate, and does not adapt to Spanish law. ”

"If they commit a crime in Spain, they should be punished in Spain! As to whether Spain has applicable laws to impose sanctions, it is not your concern. Jose said with contemptuous look at the Soviet diplomat.

"Oh! My God! You will be held accountable for what you said today, and you will regret it, Mr. President. I mean...... The Soviets did not want to meet the Spaniards, but ......"

"But what? Oh, you want to be rude, to intimidate by force? Well, Spain has been fighting for several years and doesn't care about another eight or ten years. ”

After saying that, José ignored the Soviet diplomats, but got into the car and went to the cathedral on the outskirts to accept the surrender of the Catholic rebels.

The last diplomatic effort of the Soviet Union was met with ashes and was once again ignored by Jose. Looking at the back of Jose as he left angrily, the Soviet diplomat let out a long sigh.

On the same day, the embarrassed and angry Soviet authorities quickly made a decision to order all warships and transport ships in the country to prepare to quietly drop a large number of armed forces to the Iberian Peninsula in the name of evacuation.

Jose, who had just accepted the surrender of the rebels, was at a time when he was full of ambition, so he did not pay attention to the intimidation and petty actions of the Soviets.

On 19 April, the nations left behind a company under the unified command of Captain Hans Leedler, who had not recovered from his wounds, while the rest of the army began to slowly withdraw from Spain.

On the morning of April 20, the Soviet Union suddenly declared war on Spain, and in the afternoon of the same day, Spain officially declared war on the Soviet Union. Since then, the Soviet-Spanish War has broken out.

On the same day that the Soviet Union and Spain declared a state of war, all EU member states immediately announced that they would join the war. The Third International, led by the Soviet Union, and the European Union, led by Germany, officially entered a long and sharp state of war.
