The battle lasted only about fifteen minutes before it ended.

The destroyer "Moskva" was sunk, the "Kursk" was damaged and ran aground on the beach, and the "Red Ural" also ran aground in the bay, and the superstructure was almost completely damaged, and the supply ship "Samara" was captured.

Several Austro-Hungarian destroyers were rescuing and capturing the Russian officers and men who were evacuating the warships in the bay, and Captain Orlov and Captain Kalesh were escorted to the "Grand Duke Friedrich" with pale faces, "I protest! He shouted vigorously.

"The protests were ineffective, we just fought back in self-defense." Yankel said with a blank face, "Please tell me who you are, sir." ”

The two kept their mouths shut, and neither of them would reveal their identities.

"Okay, let's send them to the cabin and lock them up first, and send people to take turns keeping an eye on them." Yankel said to the adjutant that the two men were taken down, and that the interrogation began with the captured sailors.

"We need a couple of salvage boats." The admiral turned to Eichman and said.

"It has been reported to the higher authorities just now, and the higher authorities have asked us to guarantee the safety of these ships, and if the Spaniards want to come and grab them, we can move freely." Freedom of movement, Eichman said, means that force can be used without restrictions. Yankel began to send people to the Russian ship to inspect it, and only about a few hundred tons of tungsten, antimony, aluminum and other metals were found on the "Samara", the ship was mainly used to replenish fuel, and no other materials were found in the hold.

"Keep on your guard!" Yankel was a little disappointed, and according to the interrogation, it was learned that the supplies should be in the cabin of the "Red Ural", and the more time dragged on, the more complicated the situation became. Now he is carrying out an unconventional combat operation, which can be described as a "robbery". It won't be long before the Spaniards get involved.

The Spanish Civil War itself attracted the attention of the whole world.

The traditional European forces led by Germany and Austria and the "communist" forces represented by France and the Soviet Union competed in the Iberian Peninsula. The Portuguese also sided with the Nationalists, and the Sachara government opened its own ports for the German-Austrian-Italian army and the Spanish National Army, but forbade the Russians and French from using them to transport supplies. Thanks to the support of these weapons and personnel, the National Army was able to occupy Badajoz in mid-August and join up with the northern military groupings of Old Castile, León, Galicia and Navarre.

The Age of Discovery created the former glory of the Spanish Empire, which is unprecedented in the world. Once upon a time, with the continuous exploration of the invincible fleet, the Spaniards owned the whole of the Americas, the Central and South Pacific, the Philippines, the Netherlands centered on Bruges, the Kingdom of Milan, the Kingdom of Sicily and the Kingdom of Sardinia, and the Mediterranean Sea almost became an inland lake for the Spaniards.

However, as the Armada was gradually lost under the blows of the British and Dutch navies, the Spanish Empire began to decline, and with the independence of the Netherlands, the Kingdom of Milan was divided by the Habsburgs, and the Kingdom of Sardinia became independent. Special Bolívar and St. Martin's movement for independence from the Americas, the Spanish Empire was driven out of the South American continent, leaving only a few islands in the Caribbean.

Especially after the Spanish-American War of 1898, the Spaniards were completely driven out of the American continent by the Americans, and incidentally lost their colonies in Asia and the Pacific. Now, with the exception of Morocco, the former Spanish world empire has lost 90 percent of its colonies and has been completely reduced to a second-rate country in Europe.

The Spaniards blamed the king and God for the defeat. The radicals, under the leadership of the Communist Party, are ready to break with the past. As a result, the whole country was divided, and in politics, economy, and religion, the whole society formed sharp contradictions, and when a social contradiction broke out, civil war inevitably occurred.

People are fighting to defend their faith. No one is wrong, but everyone does not know that the consequence of this is to push the whole of Spain into the abyss.

Unlike the army that took part in the rebellion, the Spanish air force and almost the entire navy were still on the side of the Republic, much like the time of the Russian Revolution, when sailors were once again the main force of the revolution. The sailors and junior commanders of the Spanish Navy expelled the "reactionary officers". Most of the warships and submarines were sent into the republican military-controlled harbor.

The Popular Front in power of the republican government also split, and under the "guidance" of Soviet Russian advisers, a harsh "anti-rebellion campaign" began within the republican government, which accelerated the internal disintegration even more, and within the Popular Front, a fierce civil war began, which gave the National Army an opportunity to take advantage of it.

On the second day, the Austro-Hungarian fleet was bombed by the Soviet Russian "Volunteer Flying Regiment" in the international column, but after strengthening its anti-aircraft weapons, the Austro-Hungarian fleet withstood the attack of the Soviet Russian Air Force, and the losses were not very large. In order to ensure air supremacy, Austria-Hungary simply sent four aircraft carriers, while the German side also sent two aircraft carriers to the Bay of Biscay for reinforcements.

In order to get the support of Austria-Hungary, to St. . The Nationalist military junta headed by Huerjo sent a special delegation to Vienna to begin to raise the old question that had been vetoed by Helton in 1930 during the Spanish Revolution, and the Habsburg dynasty was restored, and a successor from the Habsburg family was elected as king of Spain.

This time they bypassed the Austro-Hungarian Emperor and chose to lobby Empress Irene.

Archduke Karl had already decided to take over the throne, and Empress Erin, for the sake of her son's future, actually accepted the offer of the Spaniards, and persuaded William II to also support Maximilian as king of Spain.

Helton was furious at the queen's attempt to put her son on the throne without her knowledge, but to no avail. In his opinion, the throne and the throne are a very dangerous profession, and he would rather his two sons be ordinary rich men who can spend their lives in peace. But the queen didn't think so, and she wanted her son to still have the title of throne.

As a result, the two had a big quarrel, and Lechelton was dizzy and exhausted. Under the persuasion of Wilhelm II, in the end he could only submit to the arrangement of the empress.

But Helton did not want his eldest son to experience the risk of revolution again. Hurho reached an agreement by St. Jurjo became the prime minister of the kingdom, and Maximilian only became the nominal king and head of state of Spain, but all the power of the country was transferred to the government and parliament, and the future king of Spain was never involved in political affairs.

Although the restoration of the Habsburgs in Spain aroused strong opposition from Britain and France, because of the support of the Kaiser and Austrian emperors, and the reluctance of the British to intervene too much in Spanish affairs, the voice of France, as a defeated country in Europe, pale even more.

This time, the so-called "war for the throne" is unlikely to break out again, this time without Louis XIV in France, and the Habsburgs are still in Europe.

Since Maximilian took over as king of Spain, Germany and Austria were justified in sending troops to help restore the king. By the beginning of 1937, the total strength of the German-Austrian legions fighting in the Iberian Peninsula had reached 300,000 men, and it had completely overwhelmed the republican government. In the spring of 1937, the German, Austrian, Italian bloc and the Spanish National Army intensified their offensive, occupying Santander, Baracardo, and Bilbao, and by April, Donostia had fallen, and the entire northern and coastal regions had fallen to the National Army. In May, after the capture of Valencia by the National Army, the division of troops began to march towards Madrid and Catalonia.

Under the banner of "peacekeeping", the German-Austrian-Italian forces cooperated with the landing of the national army in Catalonia. Fearing that the war would affect it, France announced the closure of the Franco-Spanish border, cutting off all foreign aid for the republican government. The army loyal to the republican government was divided into two parts, Madrid and Catalonia, but they could only survive and struggle.

It seems that this war will soon be over.

But in the Far East, new wars broke out again. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Biquge www.biquge.info to vote for recommendations and monthly passes, your support is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please go to M. to read. (To be continued......)
