Just when the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex's many weapon research and development projects were in full swing, a major event occurred in Europe, which made the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex make a lot of money, and let the weapons of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex be tested on the battlefield, thus quickly opening up a larger market. What is this big event? This starts with Spain.

In 1931, red flags flew in the streets of Madrid, and Spain was once again republican, its second republic. Whether the new republican system can be maintained depends on the situation in the country. Ideally, the people agree with the basic idea, there can be disagreement about how to achieve the idea, and the election allows different groups to get their own interests. Theoretically, elections are a very good solution, but the situation in Spain is also difficult both internally and externally. Spain has also been hit hard by this economic crisis, and in this context, many different groups have emerged in Spain. The left wing of Spain favors public ownership and tolerates regional autonomy, while the right wing favors private ownership and demands a unified Spain. In this way, there were two political forces in Spain, and it divided the people.

The republican government of 1931 embarked on extensive reforms, implementing land reform and religious reform. Spain is a Catholic country, and the schools are almost exclusively ecclesiastical schools, which were forcibly disbanded. The separation of church and state and educational reform are very dangerous without accommodating one-size-fits-all. The right wing feels that their basic demands, "property, faith, and the motherland" are all in jeopardy.

It was a turbulent Spain. In August 1932, the right-wing rebelled against Catalan autonomy and was suppressed by the left-wing government; The agrarian policy did not work, and the anarchist peasants in the south announced the formation of communes, which were also suppressed. In 1933, the Left United Front collapsed before the election, and the Right Alliance won the election. It's a pity that the Spanish model is. Whoever comes to power is completely at odds with each other.

You must know that the Spaniards were originally martial, and Spain was once the most powerful colonial power until the 20th century, when it was surpassed by the British Empire. The military rose up to intervene in times of crisis, which is a glorious tradition in Spain, so on November 15, 1933. Generals Mora and Franco of Spain made a "manifesto", which was the traditional way for military men to announce their succession to power. The Spanish Civil War began. Franco has always been a man who emphasizes the need to maintain order with an iron fist, and he is most despicable to social chaos. However, the rebellion itself is an act of rebellion, and if it does not succeed, it will be a success.

Franco studied at the Toledo Infantry Academy in 1907. In 1912, he participated in the suppression of the Spanish Moroccan uprising, and in 1926 he was promoted to brigadier general. In 1928 he was appointed director of the newly established Zaragoza Higher Military Academy. Franco was promoted to major general in October 1933, and shortly after he was promoted to major general, he staged a military coup with his friend General Mora. During his tenure as president of the Higher Military Academy of Zaragoza, Franco trained many high-ranking officers in the army. And the young Franco had the talent to command troops, earned a reputation for thorough professional dedication, he was cautious and honest, introverted, had few confidants, and never took part in frivolous entertainment. All this highlighted his tallness in the eyes of the officers, so as soon as Franco raised his arms, many officers responded. They formed an anti-government bloc. Prepare to take down the left-wing government in Madrid.

The left-wing government did not have a decent army, after all, the elite of the army was taken away by Franco. But the left-wing government was supported by the USSR, and the international column arrived! There are not only those who support the left-wing government, but also those who support Franco, and some international forces have come here to try their luck and express their passions, although it is likely that the expression is not on the right topic. Volunteers swarmed in. Spain suddenly became an international theater of war.

The international forces that entered the Spanish battlefield were mainly the Soviet Union and Germany and Italy, that is, the extreme left and the extreme right. Countries like the United States are the third block of the far left and the far right, and they are busy dealing with economic depression. There was no interest in either side of the Spanish Civil War. As soon as the war began, the government of Madrid asked for support from the Soviet Union and the Third International. The aid of the Soviet Union was the sale of weapons to the Spanish government through trade with third countries, demanding full payment of gold. The greatest advantage of the republican government in the civil war was that the national gold reserves were in their hands, and Spain was the sixth largest gold reserve in the world. The USSR sent three thousand people in the name of volunteers, including a thousand pilots.

Of course, Xiao Weiguo will not miss such a good opportunity! This is a good opportunity to sell weapons, the various weapons of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Industry are not built, those weapons in the Soviet Union are too backward, and the Soviets are completely slaughtering the Madrid government as a fat sheep, and the quality of the weapons is low, not to mention the price is ridiculously high. Xiao Weiguo knows that this Madrid government is a big financier, and they have a lot of gold in their hands! In addition, Franco's side also needs to be armed, although there is support from Germany and Italy, but Franco also feels that the weapons provided by Germany and Italy are not advanced enough, and he also set his sights on the international arms market.

So a strange phenomenon happened, Franco and the Madrid government sent people to find the Dragon Soul Armament Complex, and they asked to buy a large number of advanced weapons from the Dragon Soul Armament Complex. The list of these weapons includes all kinds of advanced artillery of Bofors Defense, including the newly developed Vulcan cannon, and the two most demanded are, of course, assault rifles, as well as the M30 transport aircraft and trainer aircraft of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex.

Although the Soviet Union has agreed to provide some fighter planes to the Spanish government, those fighters are all biplane fighters of the First World War, not to mention the slow speed, and the bomb load is only a few tens of kilograms, and the Spanish government feels that the M30 transport planes and trainer planes of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Industrial Complex are better than those planes. Of course, they hope that the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex can be modified so that these two aircraft can be turned into bombers and fighters, including the addition of Vulcan cannons. Of course, Xiao Weiguo also has a very good idea, that is, to add two or three Vulcan cannons to the M30 transport plane, so that this kind of transport aircraft can become a gunboat machine.

You must know that the power of the gunboat machine is extremely powerful, it was a later invention of the Americans, and now Xiao Weiguo wants to realize it in advance. The M30 transport aircraft is also very suitable for conversion into gunboat aircraft, first of all, it uses an upper single wing, and the Vulcan gun can be easily mounted on both sides of the aircraft, and only two portholes need to be removed. And the load capacity of the M30 transport aircraft also reached 1500 kg, so with the installation of 3 Vulcan cannons, plus the gunner and ammunition, this load is completely sufficient.
