"Leader, I have a suggestion." General Mora, who was sitting next to Franco, mentioned lightly.

Since the Spanish army had participated in civil wars before, and in civil wars, no matter how great the victory of their generals was, they could not be called famous generals.

A truly recognized famous general must be a general who wins a foreign enemy for the interests of his country in foreign wars. As long as you defeat a foreign general, you are eligible to be called a famous general.

And General Mora is a Spanish general who has a great record, but cannot be rated as a famous general.

Mora was defeated in the civil war, either alone or with his allies, killing and wounding more than 300,000 Spanish Republican Army soldiers.

This is a huge record, but after all, it is only a family fight, and it is a result that cannot be taken on the table.

This time, if the troops are really sent according to Germany's requirements, then Mora, the general who is most likely to become a famous general in Spain, has a chance to truly become the first famous general recognized by the world in modern Spain!

"What, do you want to go to war?" Franco guessed that Mora wanted to seize the opportunity and persuade himself to accept Germany's proposal to send troops.

Because of this, Mora can naturally become the leading general this time, and then become one of the world's famous generals in one fell swoop.

"Yes, we must accept what the Allies demand of us." Mora made no secret of his opinion.

Franco himself is clear about this, and they really have no confidence to refuse.

However, Franco, who has always been fond of speculation and speculation, really didn't want to send all the weights in his hands to the Allied camp at this time.

Originally, he planned to maneuver between the two major military blocs, with Britain and Germany as the center, to see the wind and steer the rudder, and to take advantage of the contradictions between Britain and the United States, Germany, and Italy, so as to reap the benefits from them.

At the beginning, when Spain had just ended the civil war and Franco initially took power, Britain and France continued to aid Spain economically in order to prevent Franco from getting close to the Axis powers, so as to win over Spain to maintain neutrality in the war.

At that time, Franco, who had just relied on the assistance of Germany and Italy to gain power, turned around and took advantage of Britain and France to prevent Germany and Italy from controlling themselves after the Spanish Civil War.

For this reason, Franco even deliberately placed the name of Steve, the deputy commander-in-chief of the German SS, who was about to attend, behind Petain, who happened to be the French ambassador to Spain at that time, at a grand military parade in Madrid.

This incident has been remembered by Steve, who has always been a good talker, for many years. Later, after Petain himself surrendered to Germany, Steve also specially asked the Minister of the German Secret Police, Ross, to help contact him at a military parade in Paris, invited Petain to watch, and then put his name in front of Petain.

In addition, immediately after Britain and France declared war on Germany, Franco declared Spain a neutral country, which was separated from the two belligerents, sometimes close to Germany and Italy, and sometimes applauded Britain and France. When Germany and Italy urged Spain to join the Axis powers in the war, Franco cautiously refused, and wrote a long letter to Reinhardt and Mussolini to the same content, meaning that if the German Führer and the Italian leader could produce a proof of German and Italian victory, Spain would immediately join the war of the German-Italian steel bloc.

Reinhardt, of course, did not hesitate to reply to this letter, saying, "He does not know whether Italy will win or not, but the mighty Third Reich will surely win under the wise and powerful leadership of the Führer." ”

Mussolini, on the other hand, maintained a striking resemblance to Reinhardt's brain circuit, replying, "Germany may fail, but Italy under the leadership of this leader himself will certainly be invincible." ”

As a result, after both leaders presented Franco with "proof" of their victory, Franco still did not join the war that Germany and Italy expected him to join.

However, at that time, Reinhardt didn't care whether Spain came or not, anyway, he was completely sure that he would win step by step.

But now, in the face of the Soviet-German war that ultimately led to the collapse of the Third Reich in history, Reinhardt could not sit idly by and watch Spain watch the excitement.

Franco finally stopped walking between Britain and France and Germany and Italy at this time, after all, Britain and France had been easily defeated by Germany one after another.

But he wanted to be a man in front of the Soviet Union and leave a line, so that he could see each other in the future.

In Franco's eyes, there is really no definite outcome of the multinational alliance between the Soviet Union and the Central Powers.

On the surface, even if Franco felt that the German side was bound to win, he still forced himself to calm down, not to be enthusiastic for a while, and completely pinned his fate on the war policy of the German Reinhardt.

At the beginning, the British and French sides were not aggressive, which made Franco feel that the odds were quite good. As a result, not all of them were beaten as embarrassed as reservoir dogs within two months of fighting the Germans.

"In the event that the coalition forces organized by Germany lose, the Soviets invade Europe. At that time, you absolutely what should we do? ”

Franco said this to Mora without a hint of blame or sarcasm.

Mora was also an important general who followed Franco from the beginning of the Spanish Civil War, and before the German and Italian troops intervened, even in the most difficult time for Franco's camp, Mora was still doing his best to lead the troops to resist for Franco.

For his cronies, Franco actually just wanted to consult and understand Mora's thoughts and suggestions.

As for Mora's desire to become a world famous player, there is no need for Franco to object.

Having a world famous player under his hands is also a good thing for him.

In the face of Franco's inquiry, Mora nodded, then got up from his position and spoke seriously: "In my opinion, it is not difficult to leave room for retreat. ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it. "Franco originally wanted to command the expeditionary force in battle, but he didn't expect that he really had a good way.

Asked by Franco, Mora immediately went on to explain: "Externally, we are only declaring the transformation of Spain from a neutral country to a non-belligerent country. In this way, if Germany eventually loses the war with the Soviet Union, we can also emphasize to the Soviet government that "Spain's sending volunteers does not mean that it is on the side of Germany." ”

Mora paused and smiled: "Since the allies of the Central Powers have asked us to come up with 11 German armorers, then we can take out these troops." It's just that not in the name of the Spanish Army, but in the name of the Volunteer Army......"

Seeing the wars of other countries in the name of the volunteer army is a common universal means in Europe, and it is no longer new. But, it works!
