The capital of the Spanish colony was called "Bonita", which was located in the northeastern part of the colony, less than 300 kilometers from the French colonial border. It was one of the first major cities to be controlled by the Nationalist Army after the war, with the aim of cutting off the IRA from France in the northeast, and is now home to their base camp as a logistical hub to support the front.

The total area of the entire Spanish colony is less than one million square kilometers, about twice the size of the mainland of the Earth, and it is located in the southwestern half of the continent of Venus. Not only are there 11 active volcanoes in the territory, but none of them are dead, which directly causes 60% of the colony to be in the earthquake-prone area, and the capital Bonita was chosen so close to France because the crust here is relatively stable.

It is such a broken place with mediocre resource reserves and often trembling like a vibrating egg, and now it is the last face of Spain, the first "empire on which the sun never sets", and it is embarrassing to be depressed. And now the civil war has made Spain even worse, making it even more devastation.

Franco knew very well that after the end of this war, Spain would be completely reduced to a small third-rate country in the European world. This ambitious tyrant wants to get his hands on a complete Spain, not a smoky ruin. Therefore, in terms of tactics, Franco's national army tried to fight as steadily as possible in order to reduce unnecessary damage.

As long as it encounters a city, the national army will never attack if it can besiege it, and try to lure the enemy out to "fight ♂" with him, but this tactic also makes the national army's advance as slow as a turtle. It had been almost a month since the outbreak of the war, and Franco's territory had not expanded compared to before the war. On the contrary, he shrank a lot, so that the German and Italian staff officers who rushed to support him were very dissatisfied with his refusal to listen to dissuasion.

"General Franco, I don't understand what your caution is for? With such a great shape, you don't hurry up and launch a large-scale offensive to try to take the entire colony in one fell swoop. Do you have to wait for the enemy's reinforcements to arrive and fight a costly tug-of-war with them? ”

"That's right! I also agree with the representative of Germany. If you look at the map, the Republican Army is currently under-strengthened, and its equipment and training are far inferior to that of the Nationalist Army under your leadership. As long as your army can take the strategic place of 'Astra' in one go, you can completely kill them! ”

Within the General Headquarters of the Nationalist Army, representatives of Germany and Italy were engaged in a task of persuasion that had become routine. And the object of persuasion was none other than Franco. Although the other party nodded frequently. But they didn't say a word the whole time, and as soon as they finished speaking, they dropped a sentence that made the subject almost vomit blood, "Let me think twice", and then in the name of "inspecting the army". Escaped with the adjutant.

As soon as the two of them got out of the command post, they got into the car used for inspection. The adjutant couldn't help but ask Franco.

"General. I don't understand, what those two staff officers said is obviously very reasonable, why don't we adopt it? ”

"Sanchez. Do you love Spain? ”

"Of course! This is my motherland, and I am willing to die for her. ”

Although the adjutant didn't understand why Franco suddenly asked him this, he still answered truthfully without hesitation.

"Haha! Then the two of us should be considered rivals in love, and I am also madly in love with this beautiful woman, and I am willing to get her like a real man. But it's because I love her that I don't want to hurt another man in a duel for her. ”

"I see, you want to reduce the damage caused by the war, don't you?"

"That's right, Sanchez! This is not the land of the Germans and Italians, and it is not their people who are fighting, so they have no worries, and the Italians are even willing to provide them with that terrible crystal dust gas, but we can't! I need the city to be complete, I need the factory to be complete, I even need the workers who are fighting me to lay down their arms and go back to work. The devastation caused by war is inevitable, but it can be done by reducing the devastation process. ”

After dismissing his young lieutenant, Franco actually only explained half of the explanation. In addition to wanting to reduce the amount of destruction, he also needs to delay the war for a while more in exchange for more benefits from other "sponsors". Since the beginning of the war, Germany, Italy, and the United States have provided Franco with a lot of assistance, some of which are even "high-end goods" that no one would normally want to buy.

Just like the Germans who are currently the most attentive, they have sent nearly 100 armored aircraft and advanced fighters, including the BF-109B fighter that has just been put into production in Germany. This cutting-edge fighter with avant-garde design ideas, under the control of German pilots, used a beautiful surprise attack to knock down several Republican "armed gunboats" in the first battle.

It is true that the ceiling of the spacecraft is higher than that of the fighter jets, but it is impossible for them to strike the ground through the clouds. Whether bombing or shelling, warships and spaceships had to be lowered to a height where sighting systems could function. And at this altitude, fighters and attack aircraft, armed with special armor-piercing bombs, can already pose an effective threat to warships.

In that raid, a squadron of BF-109 made a temporary cameo appearance as an attack aircraft, using the clouds as a cover, taking advantage of the fact that the spaceship on the ground had just lifted off, and directly dived down vertically at a 90° angle. The spiral bomb lightly pierced the freighter's weak deck, blasting the spacecraft into a pile of debris on the spot, and then recklessly strafing the swaggering flashmen around the dock.

Since then, gunboats on the Republican side have rarely been seen on the front lines of the war.

Simply to avoid the chattering foreign staff officers, Franco still asked the driver to drive around the docks, as usual, to see what new aid he had received recently. Two days ago, General Motors in the United States suddenly sent him a batch of trucks and a large amount of gasoline, which simply made him happy.

As soon as the car arrived at the dock, Franco noticed a small freighter unloading. The "tile" bridge of the other party is a unique aesthetic design of Datang freighters, and this is also the first time since the start of the war that a Datang freighter has arrived in Bonita, and then Franco saw the Zhao ship negotiating with the staff.

"Sanchez, do you have any impression of that Tang boy? Where do I seem to have seen him? ”

"General, you forgot, we went to an arms fair in Datang Qingdao last month. If I'm not mistaken, you must have ordered a batch of new submachine guns from this young arms dealer, and you boasted about the originality of the design at the time. ”

"Ahh I remembered when you said guns, there is indeed such a thing, but I didn't expect them to be quite efficient. Driver, stop the car, let's go down and have a look. (To be continued......)

PS: Some people say that the army and air force of the world in my pen are too weak, and the initial setting is indeed like this, but don't forget that World War II is also a "black technology" chaos in a sense. The counterattack of the Army and Air Force DIO silk will come back sooner or later!

In addition, I weakly asked for a monthly pass, because I didn't ask for tickets and updates, I have been "blamed ♂" by the editor ORZ!
