The Mediterranean Sea was turbulent, the situation changed several times overnight, and the whole process was full of all kinds of drama, which shattered the glasses of unknown observers. The German Führer's previous precautions paid off at this point, and after a series of actions, the initiative was once again in the hands of the dictator.

Just when the Venetian Palace and the El Pado Palace were in a mess, Xu Jun was enjoying his dinner leisurely accompanied by Raeder. On the wide lawn of the Etoile Hotel, the tent that the Führer wanted had already been set up. As the sun set and a gentle breeze blew on the lawn, a group of high-ranking Nazi officials gathered to raise their glasses to congratulate the Führer on yet another great victory.

Xu Jun maintained his excellent demeanor and demeanor, and the dictator became closer and closer to his predecessor, from the black hand behind the scenes to the front of the stage, and in less than half a year, he has become a new generation of idol in the hearts of the German people.

This was indeed an unexpected event that he had not expected, and although he knew well the ambitions of the Italian leader, he underestimated the courage of the other party. Perhaps Hitler's toughness left some psychological shadows on that Caesar, and when the Führer was alive, Mussolini had the courage to provoke Germany.

Feng. Stadler's low-key behavior gave the leader the illusion that the new Reich Führer was just an obscure Nazi minority, a puppet pushed out by the Nazi Party at the right time. Hitler's death gave him a little more confidence, and he thought that he finally had a chance to raise his eyebrows and give the Germans a taste of being forced to accept a fait accompli.

To be honest, Mussolini did have some cleverness, and if he hadn't missed France, maybe Germany would have suffered this loss. But the most unlucky thing in the whole thing is not him, but Francisco, who was seduced by him. Franco.

It could have been possible to stay out of the matter and fish in troubled waters comfortably. From the very beginning, the shrewd Spanish dictator had a small plan to seek profit from both sides. In the original history, he really laughed from the beginning to the end, in order to win him over, or prevent him from being co-opted by the other side, both sides of the war continued to convey benefits, even if the whole world knew what those Spanish volunteers were. No one pursued it after the fact.

This time, the shrewd dictator made a rare miscalculation, and it was precisely this mistake that made him regret it for the rest of his life. Mussolini has pitted many people in his life, and Franco will not be the last, but he should be the most unlucky. Because at least Italy has directly joined the European competition before, and he Spain has just put on a slight posture and has not done anything. Spain didn't even touch the edge of Gibraltar, but it was still beaten head-on.

The German Führer's direct legions were like wild horses that had escaped from the fray, and the French not only opened the way. A number of troops have joined the army. This force snowballed along the way, growing at an extremely terrifying rate. By the time they reached the Spanish border, it had become a super cluster of more than twenty infantry divisions.

Franco found that he almost fell for the plot, and the other party's performance could be seen at a glance that it had been prepared for a long time, otherwise how could it be possible to conjure up so many troops in just one day, and they were all fully armed and fully equipped. The German Führer was definitely not an easy character, and France's Petain certainly seemed to be worthy of his name, and it was clear that these two sanctimonious guys had been in cahoots. They should have been prepared to attack Spain a long time ago.

France and Germany join forces, which is simply a nightmare for all small European countries. These two powers possess enough power to dominate all of Europe. Originally, I thought that France had just broken its backbone, but now it seems that it has injured the brain and marrow, and it is a little wrong to turn enemies into friends so quickly.

What made the Spanish dictator even more depressed was that the other side remained silent from beginning to end, as if only the army of terror was on the border. Let the Spaniards visit. More than 400,000 soldiers, as well as a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, just thinking about it made Franco tremble and fidget.

Before Franco could decide whether to take a tough stance or immediately get down to his knees and beg for mercy, a series of punches landed on Spain's face. This time, the French completely tore their faces, and it was Melilla, where Franco started, that suffered.

An eerily powerful tribal force has suddenly attacked the Spanish enclave. The Spanish defenders on the border line were caught off guard and were on the verge of collapse under the overwhelming fire and strength of the opposing side, and the hastily organized Spanish citizens and police persisted in resisting for half an hour, and soon allowed the other side to attack the city, and the savage Papar robbers immediately began their revelry in the city.

The local headquarters of the Spanish Phalangists became the last stronghold of resistance, and after the eventual fall, everyone inside was slaughtered. The scene was reminiscent of the holy city of Jerusalem, which had fallen hundreds of years earlier, with all the shops with Spanish characters looted, the beheadings of Spanish men who dared to resist, and the city's residents, women and children tied to their knees and taken captive on horseback.

Puzzled, unlike previous similar raids, the robbers did not light a single fire, and after having almost emptied the city of its wealth, they quickly withdrew from the city with a load of booty and disappeared into the mountains to the south.

If that were all there was to it, it would have been a terrible tragedy, and as long as the city and the port remained, the Spaniards would soon be able to restore order and take full revenge on the thieves.

The problem is that what happened next surprised everyone, a French foreign army suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the city, and French soldiers rushed into the city and began a rescue operation, providing aid to the wounded and comforting the survivors who had lost their families.

Some respected tribal elders suddenly stood up and demanded that the French stay on behalf of the surviving citizens, claiming that they no longer believed in the security claimed by the Spaniards and demanded asylum from the French government. These old guys didn't know where to hide at the time of the attack, but by this time they had suddenly become the backbone of everyone.

Their reasons seem to be super strong, the Spaniards are still far away on the other side of the Mediterranean, and when they react and send reinforcements, they don't know how much time it will take, and who can guarantee that the robbers will not come back in the meantime. And the French are different, out of the city, what is the name of the place outside, that is called French Morocco, from here all the way to the Atlantic, the whole area is French territory.

The commander of the French Foreign Legion said that he could stay in the city for the time being, and that the specific follow-up questions would have to be answered by Paris. The illiterate tribal elders handed over a moving petition to the French, expressing their hope that the French adults would consider the pleas of the local population, and that they were looking forward to joining the French family. The letter was followed by a thick stack of white paper stamped with the fingerprints of the so-called surviving residents.

Franco received the terrible news only the next morning, and was accompanied by a telegram for help from the garrison at Port Ceuta, who claimed to be surrounded, the perimeter had been breached, the airport had been occupied, the Spaniards inside the city were in danger, and at least 100,000 Moroccans armed with various weapons had gathered outside the city.

Franco took the case in his office at the El Pardo Palace, and there is no doubt who is behind these things. The greed of the French was exposed, and he had never seen such a brazen man.

The indomitable Spaniards would not succumb to the threat of any government from anyone, even if they had to fight to the last man. Franco really wanted to shout this iron-clad slogan at Petain, but his sanity forced him to abandon the decision, which amounted to suicide.

Spain is no longer the great empire it once was, the two-and-a-half-year bloody civil war has exhausted the country's vitality, almost an entire generation of brave Spaniards have died miserably in the fight against each other, and those who survive are facing a devastated land, although the scars on their bodies have healed, the scars in their hearts are still flowing with blood and tears.

Spain could no longer afford a full-scale war, and the already resource-poor country had to import even coal for power generation. This is also one of the reasons why he resisted the temptation to remain neutral, the life-and-death struggle between the two behemoths is not something that a weak Spain can participate in, and if he offends either side, Spain will be destroyed.

With most of the coal needed by Germany, and the British Empire controlling the safety of the coal routes, Franco's diplomatic skills allowed him to watch the war unfold as a spectator without pressure from either side.

He also thought about getting involved when the outcome of the game was at odds, so that he could pick up some leftovers from the mouth of the final victor. Both of these behemoths are worth a lot of money, and even a piece of meat crumbs is enough for Spain to digest for a long time.

Franco once secretly told Hitler that Spain could not be compared with the powerful Germany, and if Germany could defeat Britain, then Spain would definitely consider joining the war. Hitler was very satisfied with Franco's humble attitude, for him it was just a pair of knives and forks when the spoils of war were finally divided, Germany also needed a channel that could purchase goods from abroad, although Spain's geographical location was relatively far away, but after Germany conquered France, it would definitely border it, and keeping this external channel would definitely come in handy. The German Führer even forgot about the unhappiness that happened in the tungsten ore trade before, after all, business is business, and Germany still has this amount of gas.

And today, Franco doesn't know if he is insane, or if the world is really changing so fast, in the blink of an eye, the whole situation has been reversed, and the cruel reality has once again put the question he has been avoiding in front of the dictator, which side Spain is on.
