Franco's representative, Lemmon, had just left the headquarters of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, and shortly after returning to the hotel where they were staying, their opponent, the representative of the Spanish government of Madrid, also found the headquarters of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex. Seeing that the Madrid government sent someone, Xiao Weiguo smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, this is a big financier, he has countless gold in his hand, and he is embarrassed not to slaughter it well.

As soon as the Spanish Civil War broke out, it was blockaded by European countries, and there was a great shortage of fuel and weapons, after all, only the Soviet Union supported the republican government, Franco had the support of Germany and Italy, and the United States, Britain and France did not say anything. The People's Army of the Republic, which was hastily formed by the Madrid government, was not only of ridiculously poor quality in personnel, but also poorly equipped and pitifully weak, with almost no armored strength and air force, and was much worse than Germany, which was defeated in World War I and limited by the Treaty of Versailles, and the People's Army of the Republic was probably about the same equipment as the guerrillas. Therefore, under such circumstances, the Spanish republican government could only hug the thigh of the Soviet Union on the one hand, and on the other hand, ask the arms manufacturers of the Nordic countries to buy arms.

Of course, the Soviet side was very happy, and the Soviet government was eager to send military advisers and experts, as well as volunteers, into Spain to help the Spanish republican government in the war, and this was a rare opportunity to fight in real combat, not only to temper the command ability and strategy and tactics of the Soviet officers, but also to sell Soviet weapons to the Spanish republican government, so that these weapons could be tested in the war, and to help weapons experts further improve.

Of course, because the Soviet Union's weapons and equipment were also relatively backward, the Madrid government also knew that it was completely dependent on the weapons provided by the Soviet Union, and it was afraid that it would be difficult to resist Franco's army, after all, Franco was supported by Italy and Germany, and the military equipment and technology of these two countries were relatively advanced. At least more advanced than the weapons of the Soviets. Moreover, Franco's army was a well-trained professional soldier, not a guerrilla army formed improvised by the republican government.

The Soviet government promised to help the Spanish Republican People's Army train tankmen and pilots and other important military personnel, and agreed to provide the Spanish Republican government with the latest T26 and BT5 tanks. Although the T26 and BT5 tanks were also developed by the Soviet Union and not yet equipped themselves, they were significantly behind the two tanks developed by Dragon Soul Ordnance for Germany in terms of performance. After the prototype of the theory of great depth, which had just appeared in the early 30s, the Soviet military considered it important to develop a cavalry tank capable of high-speed pursuit, so the BT5 tank was born. Although the BT5 tank is a big improvement over its predecessor, the BT2. The total weight of the battle has also reached about 12 tons, in order to pursue mobility, its firepower and armor are not very good, the thickest armor is only 22 mm thick, its main gun is 45 mm caliber, only 300 meters of firing distance can penetrate 40 mm thick armor, 800 meters of distance can only penetrate 25 mm thick armor, the so-called mobility is only a maximum speed of 50 kilometers per hour.

The republican government sent a member of the Spanish royal family, the republican government's military minister, Juan ? Negrin went to Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, to ask for help. They had money but no weapons, and if they couldn't defeat Franco, their gold wouldn't be able to be used. Of course, the republican government has not yet reached the point of depositing gold with the Soviets, after all, the war has only just begun, and the KPA has not yet shown any obvious signs of defeat.

Negrin is very anxious, the People's Army urgently needs weapons and equipment, otherwise this battle is really difficult to fight. Franco's army was very combat-ready and was supported by Italy and Germany. He had to buy back enough weapons and equipment as quickly as possible, and although the Soviet government had begun to send military personnel and equipment to Spain and an international column had begun to be formed, the purchase of weapons and equipment had to be carried out quickly. Entering the headquarters building of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, Negrin couldn't help but speed up his pace, waiting until he saw Xiao Weiguo, the rumored chairman of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Industry Complex. Only then did I find out that the other party was really too young to speak.

Seeing that the big financier was coming, Xiao Weiguo also smiled brightly, and he enthusiastically stretched out his right hand to Negrin and held it tightly with him. Xiao Weiguo said happily: "It's a pleasure to meet you, General Juan!" Welcome to our Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex! ”

Negrin also said excitedly: "Ah. You are the esteemed Mr. Philip, who has long admired his name! I didn't expect you to be younger than the legend, when I was your age, I was still a little sergeant! ”

Xiao Weiguo nodded and said, "General Juan is really polite, he is a guest from afar, everyone please sit down and talk!" ”

When Negrin and his party sat down, the administrative staff of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium Headquarters brought them fragrant coffee, which made Negrin feel very useful, it seems that the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex still attaches great importance to them as a big customer!

Of course, how could Xiao Weiguo not pay attention to the Spanish Republican government, which is a government that controls the sixth largest gold reserves in the world, a big benefactor!

Xiao Weiguo laughed and said, "I think General Juan must have come to our Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex this time to buy our weapons and equipment, right?" ”

Negrin said excitedly: "Exactly, let's get straight to the point!" Now that our People's Army has just been formed, it needs a lot of weapons and equipment, and although we have reached an agreement with the Soviet government, Mexico has also offered to provide us with $2 million in aid and some war materials, including 20,000 rifles, 280,000 bullets, 8 artillery pieces and 20 American-made aircraft. But these are not enough to arm our People's Army. We also have a very good relationship with the Swedish government, and the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex is also the largest weapons manufacturer in Sweden, your weapons are very good, we are willing to pay a high price to buy them, and we only have one request, that is, we hope that you can deliver them as quickly as possible. Mr. Philip don't worry that your government won't approve this deal, because we've already communicated with the Swedish government, and it's not a problem. ”

Xiao Weiguo laughed and said, "Of course, we are very happy to sell you the most advanced weapons!" The purpose of the existence of our Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex is to make more advanced weapons and sell them to those who need them most, and your People's Army really needs these weapons and equipment. In terms of the speed of delivery, you don't have to worry, all the weapons production lines of our Dragon Soul Ordnance Federation are assembly line operations, and they are definitely the fastest and best in the world in terms of weapon production.
