Hearing Ciric's words, Franco was stunned, what plan?

"I don't like us to continue attacking Madrid this time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 "Even if we move the armored division over, it won't work, the armored division is a field army, not a street fighting unit, and in the street fighting, our troops will suffer losses that are difficult for us to accept." ”

Ciric made it very clear that Germany had sent troops over and would have an armored division, but it was definitely not a street fight.

Others don't know, Ciric is very clear, street fighting, it's just a terrible meat grinder! In the later Battle of Stalingrad, how many people died on the German and Soviet sides?

Ciric won't send his precious troops to consume.

Hearing this, Franco was stunned, don't play Madrid? Put it in close proximity to Madrid and don't play?

"As I said last time, it would be unwise to attack Madrid without cutting off Madrid's foreign aid, and now the best way is to attack the surrounding areas first and encourage Madrid thoroughly."

The plan proposed by Ciric last time, although it was said by his staff officers, everyone present knew about it. Of course, Franco also knew that he had just deliberately forgotten about it.

And now, Franco can't fit it anymore.

The scene fell cold, and no one spoke again.

The first time was to underestimate the enemy, not to take Madrid, not even to the city, and at the same time, everyone knew that in fact, Ciric's inference was correct.

At present, half of Spain is still under the control of the Republican Army, they still have a deep war potential, and there are many ports that can receive aid from the Soviet Union.

As long as the Soviet Union continues to give blood transfusions, this war will not end easily.

However, Franco will never agree, Madrid is in front of him, and letting him give up Madrid is even more uncomfortable than killing him.

Everyone knew what was going on in their hearts, but they didn't know what to say, and now it was a matter of Franco and Ciric's conflicting ideas.

Although nominally, the Condor Legion is under Franco's unified command, but in reality, without Ciric's consent, Franco would not want to mobilize the Condor Legion alone.

Last winter is an example of this.

"General José, what do you think of my proposal?" Seeing that Franco was silent for a long time, Ciric said to the commander of the new Central Army on the side.

"Well, I think, General Ciric, what you said makes sense, but General Franco also has his considerations, and we have to listen to General Franco's arrangement." José didn't dare to look up at Ciric, he simply looked down and muttered to himself.

If it weren't for Ciric, José wouldn't be in this position, Jose is a bridge between Ciric and Franco, but now, between Franco and Ciric, José doesn't know what to choose.

Therefore, José is simply very smart and no one is offended.

Ciric sneered in his heart, he thought he was very smart, but he was actually very stupid!

At this time, his statement, of course, will hurt Franco, as the commander of the Central Army that Franco single-handedly raised, Jose actually did not support Franco's decision, on today's statement, Franco must have moved the killing machine in his heart, this buddy is definitely a person with a dark psychology and can't tolerate the slightest betrayal.

"General Mora, what do you think?" Ciric continued to ask, today's meeting was very successful, and he succeeded by provoking all these people under Franco to have conflicts with Franco.

Emilio Mora, born in Cuba in 1887, joined the Spanish army in 1907 and, after rising through the ranks, was promoted to brigadier general in 1927.

Last year, Mora joined a Spanish military coalition led by former military leader, General José Sanjujo, to overthrow the Second Spanish Republic and build momentum for Sanjujo at home.

After the outbreak of the civil war, Mora became an important commander of the National Army, and after the death of Sanhujo in a plane accident, the command of the National Army was divided between Mora in the north and General Franco in the south.

After Badajoz was opened, the armies of the north and south were united, and Mora accepted Franco's leadership and besieged Madrid together.

As General Mora, who is also well-known in Spain, he will not look at Franco's face when he speaks, and after hearing Ciric's question, after a little thought, he spoke: "I think General Ciric has a point, I heard that the international column has been organized to the 15th detachment, there is a steady stream of reinforcements from the outside world, and we are not fighting against the government of a republican army, but half of the world. ”

For General Mora, it doesn't matter if it's one day earlier or one day late, what he values is also reinforcements from the outside world, Madrid is constantly being transfused, and if you want to win Madrid, it can only cut off their support!

Even Mora supported Ciric's claim, and Franco's face turned cold.

Now, there are still two people present who have not spoken, the Italian commander, who has been listening, for them, it doesn't matter how they fight, then, the rest is the commander of the Southern Army, Liano.

Liano knew that at this time, he had to take a stand, and although in his heart, he also supported Ciric's opinion, but he knew that if he said the same, Franco would definitely be angry.

In the midst of the crisis, Liano said: "I don't think it is difficult to block foreign aid, for example, we can ask the Italian fleet and the German fleet to patrol the Mediterranean Sea and our Atlantic direction to interfere with the aid of the Soviets, after all, the Soviets are not members of the committee." ”

In September last year, in response to the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War on European soil, London held a meeting of the "Non-Intervention Committee", which included 27 European countries, and the committee officially began its work, which banned the export and transit of weapons and military materiel to Spain.

Germany and Italy, not members of it, while the USSR was.

Liano's proposal solves the current problem, and Ciric's proposal is that only by cutting off their reinforcements can there be any hope of victory, so Madrid cannot be fought first.

And Liano's statement is to change the way, cut off the reinforcements, let the navy do it, and the war on land has to be solved from Madrid.

Franco's eyes lit up: "I think this method works!" ”

Of course it is feasible for you, this is to provoke a direct contradiction between Italy, Germany and the Soviet Union! Ciric couldn't help but think in his heart, however, he didn't veto this proposal too much, since it was all military training, plus the navy to train together, it was also good, especially since he had been in the Atlantic Ocean for a long time, it was time to go into the Mediterranean Sea to go around.

So, Ciric nodded.
