The Axis bloc is a military alliance, and each country has a lot of autonomy, and if the Boston Empire has any ambitions for itself, it is easy to centrifuge other allies, so that they have more to gain than they lose, and it seems that they have no reason to refuse such preferential conditions.

"Okay, I promise you. But I need to see your arms before I can make up my mind to start a rebellion. Admiral Franco was unequivocal.

Edmund laughed, "You're sure to see weapons soon, but it's not a rebellion, it's the overthrow of tyranny." ”

The Boston Empire was anxious to divert the attention of the Chinese Empire, and in order to buy time, they had already secretly hoarded weapons and ammunition in the territory of the Nantes Empire, and when Franco agreed, dozens of large merchant ships soon set sail from the Nantes Empire loaded with munitions and sailed towards the northern port of Santander, the kingdom of Sero, controlled by Franco.

"All these are for me?" Franco's eyes widened as he looked at the list in his hand, his mouth closed. Two hundred M4 tanks, one hundred and fifty Wildcat tank destroyers, six hundred trucks, fifty jeeps. 200,000 Garand rifles, 8,000 M2 machine guns, 2,000 mortars, 1,500 76-mm infantry guns, 400 37-mm anti-tank guns, 300 100-5-mm howitzers and 100 155-mm howitzers, a number of bullets and shells, as well as military uniforms and sabers. Together, so much equipment is enough to arm the elite troops of four armies.

Edmund smiled: "These are the first batch of arms to be sent to the general, and when the general raises his troops, we will continue to provide the same amount of arms to the general." ”

Franco nodded: "Thank you, I will get the troops used to these weapons as soon as possible, and at the same time recruit new recruits to start training, and I will attack in three months." ”

"This will not work, we need the general to attack immediately." Edmund shook his head firmly, Russia can't support it for long, and the Boston Empire is also dead to them, and now the Boston Empire wants to take advantage of the opportunity for the Chinese Empire to concentrate on Russia, and take the Cerro Kingdom.

If this plan can be successfully realized, it will not only strengthen the strength of the Axis powers, but also solve the threat behind the Nantes Empire, which will be of great benefit to the Axis powers in controlling the entire Western Continent in the future. If the Chinese Empire had eased up, they might not have such a good opportunity, and now the situation is a race against time, which is why Edmund made such a request.

"What? Right now? My troops have not yet been redressed and are not well prepared, how can they defeat the government army. Franco said.

Edmund said: "Your subordinates are all veterans, as long as the new weapons are issued, they can form combat effectiveness, our weapons are similar to the weapons of the Chinese Empire that you have been using, and the soldiers are easy to use." While you're attacking, there's plenty of time in the rear to train recruits. ”

"This ......," Franco was a little moved by what he said, but he still felt a little unsafe in his cautious actions.

"The Nantes Air Force will send a volunteer army to escort your combat operations, and they will be equipped with our country's most advanced P51 Mustang fighters, B25 tactical bombers and B29 strategic bombers, which are enough to strangle the entire air force of the government army and provide the best help for your attack." Seeing Franco's hesitation, Edmund dropped another bombshell.

"I wonder if your country will help us build an air force in the future." The government air force had always been Franco's greatest concern, but now that he heard that the Nantes air force would provide him with sufficient support, his mind came alive again, and he thought that he should have an air force in the future.

Edmund laughed: "Of course you can, but now you don't have qualified pilots under your command, and there are no planes in all our support supplies." When you take control of the entire Sero Kingdom, the air force will definitely be established, and our country will also support some aircraft. ”

Franco's eyes twinkled when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll immediately issue my weapons and attack within a week." ”

Edmund laughed: "Remember to build a field airfield, otherwise the Nantes Air Force will not be able to come." Seeing that Franco agreed to send troops, Aemond's heart relaxed, the mission had been completed, and he naturally joked with Franco with his whole body.

Admiral Franco was not in the mood for any relief, and he immediately convened a secret meeting of his cronies and officers, and informed everyone of his decision to send troops to rebel. The officers were thrilled to hear Franco's decision, and now that Carlos I was leaning toward the Chinese Empire, many whites were dissatisfied, especially Franco's cronies, who were naturally like-minded subordinates who were also quite discriminatory against people of color.

These officers had little loyalty to Carlos I, and they were most concerned about how much they would gain if they succeeded in Franco's rebellion. When they heard that the Axis bloc would fully support them and that the first arms had arrived, these officers were even more excited, as if they saw the hope of becoming a knight, so they were quite supportive of Franco's rebellious plan.

Seeing that his cronies were supportive of his plan, Franco immediately began to assign tasks. Originally, there were five infantry corps in the Northern Military Region, and there were very few chariot troops among them, but due to the high quality of the people in the Western Continent, there were still many people who could drive, so those Boston chariots and trucks that had just arrived could barely scrape together the manpower to drive.

Franco reorganized his forces so that his most elite armies, the Seventeenth and Nineteenth Armies, would be divided equally between the tanks and tank-destroyers, as well as the six hundred trucks, and the artillery would also be heavily equipped with these two armies, and they would be the backbone of the attacking government forces in his hands.

The other three armies will also replace all the old weapons and replace them with all wave-based equipment, of which the 40th and 53rd armies will cooperate with the two armored corps to launch attacks, while the 77th army will remain in the northern military district to be responsible for the security of the defense area, and at the same time begin to recruit a large number of new recruits for training tasks.

Alberta, the commander of the 77th Army, was unhappy about Franco's arrangement, and no one would feel good about this kind of thing, because others had to gain unlimited military achievements on the front line, but they had to hide in the defense area to train recruits. However, before announcing the dismissal, Franco assured Alberta that after the victory, he would also be given a fairly high position, because the fact that being stationed in the rear and training new recruits was also a great credit, which made Alberta feel better.

A week later, six air wings of the Nantes Air Force arrived at several field airfields near Logroño, bringing with them various military planes painted with the insignia of the Kingdom of Sero, and all the personnel wearing the uniforms of the Sero Army.

Seeing that everything was ready, Admiral Franco decided to launch a military operation against the government forces at once. The main forces of the rebel army quickly prepared for battle and, in the name of exercises, assembled towards several points in the border area of the Northern Military District.

On September 15, 919, Franco made a speech on the radio, in which he claimed that Carlos I had lost his qualifications as the leader of the Kingdom of Sero because he had only known how to oppress the common people and raise taxes, and that he had flattered the Chinese Empire and sued for peace. From this moment on, the Northern Military District announced its secession from the government, and at the same time would form a rebel army to resist the tyranny of Carlos I, to fight for the future of the country, for the dignity of the white man. He called on the people of the whole country to vigorously support the rebels and work for the peace and freedom of the country.

Franco's 'righteous rhetoric' speech provoked a lot of support for the government, but these were just a fig leaf for Franco's rebellion. Ten minutes after the radio announcement, the four corps subordinate to the Northern Military District began a full-scale sortie.

Under the astonished gaze of the government troops, hundreds of planes quickly flew over the government army's key points in several groups, completely destroying more than a dozen government airfields surrounding the Northern Military District, and the unprepared government air force had not yet received an operational order, and all the more than 300 planes parked at the airfields had been destroyed.

Relying on the cover of the air, Franco divided his troops into two parts, one was composed of the most elite 17th and 19th armies, plus the 53rd Infantry Corps, they would be the main force of the attack, this force would attack south, aiming at Madrid, the capital of the Kingdom of Sero.

The other force was the 40th Infantry Corps, which was to attack eastward under the command of Commander Feliza in an attempt to capture Badalona, the largest seaport city in the Kingdom of Cyro.

The main rebel force attacked all the way south, and for a while the government was unprepared and was on the verge of collapse under the attack of the rebels, but soon the government army organized a strong resistance, and when the rebels attacked Palencia, they were finally forced to stop.

The same situation arose with the divisions, but due to the weakness of the government forces in the direction of their attack, they had to stop until the 40th Army surrounded the city of Badalona. More than 8,000 government troops relied on the city to resolutely resist, and the two cruisers anchored in the harbor also participated in the bombardment of the rebels with their main guns.

The information about the civil war in the Kingdom of Sero was quickly sent to the cabinet, and according to the national emergency mechanism, the same information was also sent to the third-class general Cai Tingyuan, who succeeded Xue Boling as the commander of the Southern Military Region.

"What do you think we should do? Is it waiting for the notice of the Ministry of Defense. With this information, Chief of Staff Liu Qun frowned, an emergency like this is not about their own country, and it is really difficult for them to interfere.
