"Once upon a time, our ancestors were powerful enough to compete with this ancient Eastern empire in the vast universe, but now we are not even qualified to match it. Gentlemen, are we, as soldiers, just sitting back and watching our country continue to decay like this under the devastation of those incompetent politicians!? ”

Inside the Spanish Embassy in Qingdao, Franco stood by the window, looking at the bustling night view of the city outside. Behind him were a group of officers of the Spanish army and air force, either repressed by the republican government or with nostalgia for the Spanish Bourbon dynasty. Franco's intention to bring together these soldiers who have a grudge against the republican government could not be more obvious!

"General, we also think that the stupid Manuel is no longer fit to continue to lead Spain, but...... What does the Navy mean? ”

To start a rebellion, you must have the support of the navy, and control the giant soldiers of the country, which is the "first condition" to be followed in any country!

In terms of giant soldiers, 2 of Spain's 4 giant soldiers are stationed in the colonies, and now they have been secretly controlled by Franco, at least in this regard, he is not afraid of the republican government, but the ambiguous attitude of the navy has made the rebels worried, so the Spanish rebel forces have not dared to take actual action.

"Colonel Juris, why don't you ask Miss Alfontso behind you this question?"

Hearing Franco's words, everyone was shocked! They looked back in amazement, only to see the door of the room being pushed open and three gorgeous women in Spanish naval uniforms striding in. Led by one person, there were almost no officers present who did not know. She is the "España", one of the two battleships of the Spanish Navy!

The Spanish-class battleship is the smallest dreadnought in the world today, with a standard displacement of only 14,450 tons and a full displacement of 15,850 tons. The main role is to defend the colony in low-earth orbit. The armament consists of 8 50x diameter 305mm main guns, 20 102mm secondary guns, 6 anti-aircraft guns and 4 457mm torpedo tubes.

In a sense, the ship can be seen as a kind of super heavy patrol with improved armor and firepower!

It is worth mentioning. In 1923, the Spanish was accidentally hit by a speeding comet during the cruise, and was "cut in half" on the spot, and none of the 854 sailors on the ship were spared!

After this accident, the Spanish Navy asked the second ship, Alfonso XIII, to change its name to replace the España, which is why Franco called her "Miss Alfonto" for the sake of face.

In addition to Alfonto, the other two girls were the Celestial Maidens of the Canarias Class Heavy Patrol - Ganarias and Balearic. In addition to being the same type of ship, these two celestial maidens are also super rare twin ship mothers. More famous than Alfonteau in the world. At this point, 3 of Spain's four large capital ships have sided with Franco!

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Alfontso."

"It's all for our common homeland, Spain."

The Celestials have different forms of allegiance, and both Alfonteau and the Ganalias sisters are standard "loyalists". This type of celestial maiden has a headache for those in power, that is, once the other party thinks that a certain act is "for the good of the country", then they will do it without hesitation, even if it is to participate in the rebellion for this reason.

The incumbent republican government was unfortunate in the failure of reforms, which not only did not revive Spain's prestige, but instead made it more and more depressed and full of social contradictions. This made Alfonteau very disappointed with the current government. It was this that Franco took advantage of and successfully lobbied the sisters Alfontso and Canarias to join his Falangist party, the "National Army".

"Spain will be so bad, no matter what you think, it's the fault of the republican government!"

The Spanish Falangists, whose "core idea" is the "core idea" of the struggle, now have a sphere of influence covering nearly two-thirds of the territory of the Venus colony. Most of the active duty members of the Army and Air Force have sided with Franco, including the Moroccan Foreign Legion. The part of the Spanish army that could fight the most was basically on this side.

In addition to the military forces at home, Franco also took advantage of the opportunity to participate in the Qingdao Fair. Avoid the eyes of the republican government and meet with the ambassadors of Germany and Italy. The support of these two fascist countries was obtained. Now that the rebellion is ready, Franco is finally ready to act!

At this time, the republican government in Spain was not aware of the imminent start of Franco's operation. The poor intelligence system made them only vaguely hear some rumors, and naively thought that all the ambiguous navies were on their side. In order to deter the growing rebellion in the colony, the republican government decided to send the Spanish and the Canarias sisters to the colony to maintain stability, and this stupid trick is tantamount to "meat buns and dogs"!

As soon as the three warships left the mainland, they turned around and flew to Datang in low earth orbit, and they had already fallen to Franco's embassy to greet their arrival in advance, making the Tang government think that these three warships were here to pick up a "Spanish dignitary" to go to the colony, so Alfontso and the Canarias sisters met Franco here. The three of them will be tasked with escorting Franco to the colony to join the rebels who have been ready for a long time, and then begin to set up their defenses on the spot.

At this point, the Spanish Civil War was inevitable, and Franco's goal was to first seize the entire extraterrestrial colony, and then use it as a major rear to counterattack the mainland. Among the reforms of the previous republican government was the repatriation of pioneers to the colonies, which directly led to the fact that more than half of Spain's population was now in the colonies.

Many of these immigrants were sent in semi-force, but after the poor management of the republican government, they were left without a permanent place to live, and the promised land, employment and welfare policies were not fulfilled. This led to growing dissatisfaction among the colonial people with the republican government, and more and more people turned to Franco.

Don't look at the high-sounding words, in fact, Franco is a careerist who wants to steal the country, but he has the ability to match his ambitions! The slogan of the Falangists was "restore the Spanish Bourbons", but Franco had no intention of putting anyone to be king, and the "throne" was destined to hang in the air from the beginning.

With a group of officers who supported him, Franco boarded the Spanish and rushed to the Venus colony overnight. The local army had already been assembled as planned, and all the weapons and ammunition were distributed to the soldiers, and as soon as Franco, as the leader, arrived, the national army could control more than two-thirds of the colony in three days.

The right time, the right place, and the "people" that were instigated gave Franco's action an advantage!

At the same time, in other parts of the world, some informed countries are also making their own preparations.

As early as July, Franco sent people to secretly travel to Germany and Italy to seek support. The envoy to Germany met with German Minister of Aviation Goering and Führer Hitler, who had just finished watching "Valkyrie" and was still in high spirits, and decided to intervene in the civil war that night, and successively sent two batches of military aid to Venus.

The first aid included 11 transport planes, 6 fighter jets and 85 SS soldiers who were responsible for assisting ground forces in the atmosphere to control cities and mobile transport in the absence of space warships for the Nationalists. The second batch consisted of 24 No. 1 light armoured units, a small number of anti-aircraft guns, and some radios, where the Germans intended to test some tactics with the help of the Spaniards. On the Italian side, Mussolini, who was still immersed in the "climactic afterglow" brought about by the occupation of Ethiopia, also made the same decision as Hitler.

In addition to these aids to the army and air force, the two countries also sent their fleets to the "Friendship Station Street" near Venus! On the German side, there was one battle cruiser and three light cruisers, with the D-Flinger as the flagship of the formation. The Italian side sent a battleship Count Cavour over with a big grin, and God knows what Lao Mo was thinking about in his head!?

In contrast, the republican government, which was still kept in the dark, did not make the slightest move at this time!

What's even more intriguing is that Datang actually sent two light patrols to the public star field in this vicinity early, and will soon send three more cutting-edge heavy patrols over, which makes people confused about Datang's intentions for a while.

A day later, Franco arrived at the Venus colony, where the army assembled in front of the spaceport, and as soon as the Spanish lowered the clouds, a military band played salute music to welcome the leader.

In the midst of the high military music, Franco, dressed in military uniform, stepped off the battleship with his head held high and took a military vehicle to inspect the national army. Franco's solemn appearance made Franco very happy, and there was a pride in the Spanish elite in his hands!

After reviewing the phalanx, the military vehicle drove back to the podium in front of the phalanx, Franco walked up to the podium, followed by a group of generals and three beautiful and moving Spanish ship girls. The tyrant, who was about to start a rebellion, calmed his excited heart and shouted loudly to the soldiers below in an impassioned tone

"Gentlemen! My name is Francisco. Franco, a native of Spain! I am proud and proud to be born in this beautiful country, she is like my lover, I am willing to join the army and protect her with my life. So now I'm sad, I'm angry, I can't take it anymore! I cannot sit idly by and watch the incompetent authorities continue to harm my loved ones, allowing them to do whatever they want, or even causing the dreaded 'red virus' to spread in our land! My comrades-in-arms, now that Spain has reached the point of life and death, it is time to prove our loyalty to the motherland with practical actions! Here I will lead you in the struggle to punish those who are guilty. God willing! Spain is always in glory! ”

"God willing! Spain is always in !! (To be continued......)

PS: Regarding those "debts", I plan to repay them with some free benefits, and the content will mainly tell about the "daily life" of ship girls in various countries, and it is estimated that there will be a considerable number of lily plots (covering faces).
