In order to ensure that the ore produced by the colonies can be continuously transported back to the mainland, most of the countries with extraterrestrial colonies in this world usually divide their spacecraft into four classes, one to stay at home, one to the way, one to the colony, and one to return home, forming an efficient transportation cycle.

Before the outbreak of the civil war, Spain had more than 2,000 spacecraft, more than 95% of which were non-military. After the start of the war, the colony's spaceships were the first to be controlled by the Nationalist army, and those civilian ships on the road either voluntarily surrendered to Franco, or were held hostage to the colony by the rebel fleet or the German-Italian fleet. Fewer than 600 ships were left to the republican government, and the tonnage was generally small.

The lack of capacity left the republican government desperate to regain the colonies.

More than 70% of the 600 civilian ships are small guys with a tonnage of less than 1,000, and less than 50 large ships with a tonnage of more than 10,000 tons. Although the People's Guard of the Spanish native organization recruited 300,000 people in two days, the combat effectiveness of these rookies is far inferior to the rebel army composed of active soldiers, not to mention that the republican government is not capable of transporting all 300,000 cannon fodder in one go.

In the universe, the republican government was worried about the attack on its homeland, and even more worried about another mutiny, so it strictly ordered its fleet not to leave the mainland for half a step. As a direct result, the Republican side cargo ships were able to go to the colonies alone without escort, while the rebel side took a more aggressive offensive, albeit with fewer ships.

Upon learning of the republican government's actions, two Canalias-class heavy cruisers on the Nationalist side made a makeshift cameo appearance as a pirate ship, blocking the passing spaceship near the stargate. Day 1 only. The sisters sank seven Republican freighters, leaving 2,500 soldiers and supplies floating in space.

For the situation on the Spanish side. Relying on Boss Dai's intelligence network, Zhao Jian may know some things better than the republican government. The republican government lacked capacity, and the Soviets couldn't provide it. And his Zhao ship not only has the transportation capacity, but also the identity background of the Datang business travel as a "talisman". His ship could reveal himself and swagger over!

At present, Zhao has a total of 6 3,000-ton boats and 1 38,000-ton ship. A few years ago, Ethiopian Prince Asfa gave him two more 10,000-ton divine cores out of gratitude. After Zhao Jian got the divine core, he immediately ordered two 12,000 freighters from the shipyard, and now the progress of the project has reached 65%, and it is expected to be able to receive the ship by the end of the year.

Zhao Jian's only problem now is the choice of "customer"!

"Hongling, you said these two families. Who should I pick? ”

"Young Master, why don't you want to think about it, which of them needs you more?"

A word woke up the person in the dream, and Hongling's words suddenly made Zhao Jian feel a sudden realization!

That's right! This question can be considered from a different angle. The more the customer needs him, the more dependent he is, and such a customer may not be the richest, but it is definitely the safest.

Franco currently has the support of Germany and Italy, and even some American plutocrats have provided him with a large amount of fuel and trucks, and the assault rifles he ordered from Zhao Jian have a dispensable impact on them. The republican government on the other side is different. Not only are they at a disadvantage now, but the only reinforcements are the unreliable Maozi and the powerless Mexico, and they are currently in urgent need of safe and reliable transportation capacity, which is exactly what Zhao can provide.

"Hongling, you're really getting smarter. Having a competent secretary is fantastic in every sense of the word! ”

The next day, Victor and his employer came to Zhao's house again. Zhao Jian happily agreed to their request and negotiated the price. Before signing the contract. Zhao Jian suddenly confessed to the other party that he still had an order contract with Franco, and Victor's face changed after hearing this. And Vishniak calmly asked what is it?

"Because I keep my word! No matter how difficult the contract is, you must keep your promises. ”

"But aren't you accepting our employment now?"

"I accepted your offer because I chose to support you, and Mr. Franco's order was signed before I chose to support you. One yard is one yard in business, that's my principle as a businessman. ”

After Zhao Jian finished speaking, he looked at the other party without hesitation, and Vishniak suddenly laughed after looking at him for a moment.

"Hahaha...... All right! I have to admit that your honesty and principles have not only avoided a possible misunderstanding, but also earned my respect. I hope your principles will be maintained, Mr. Zhao! I wish us a happy cooperation. ”

"It's a pleasure to work with."

In this way, Zhao Jian took over the "express" commission from the Soviet Union.

What made Zhao Jian feel that these hairy people were a little arrogant was that the other party actually brought the "aid materials" they were going to entrust to Zhao Jian to be responsible for transporting directly to Qingdao, and now they are on the dock. The entry of armed men into another sovereign State without notification with a large amount of arms could be considered an armed invasion at worst.

"it! Fortunately, there is someone above me, little master! ”

scolded the other party in his heart, Zhao Jian asked the other party with an unchanged expression how many things he had brought, so that he could arrange the boat. So Vishniak took out a list of supplies from his briefcase and handed it to Zhao Jian.

"I said, are you going to give these things to the Spanish government army, or to the Spanish museum? Is it really okay to send such an old antique to someone else for war? ”

"These weapons are in very good condition and there are no problems with their use."

"Alright! Anyway, it's not me who pays for it, it's not me who pays for it, God bless Spain! ”

Mocking the stinginess of the Maozi, Zhao Jian continued to look down the list, except for a large pile of obsolete weapons that seemed to him to be tattered, the Soviets did not give any good things. In this batch of heavy weapons, 12 T-26 light armoured units and 8 BT-5 fast armoured units were included.

The former is copied from the British "Vickers", and the latter is copied from the American "Christie", one is a humanoid, with a high attack and crispy skin, and does not dare to go out alone, and the other is a beast type, whose defense is equal to running naked and running fast like a mad dog on all fours. Although these two types of armored mechs have their own flaws, they are still quite distinctive among the same type of mechs at the current level.

It is worth mentioning that along with this group of armored aircraft to the Spanish colonies, there were also 120 "volunteers". Some of these men will be responsible for piloting these armored units, while others will be responsible for maintenance. It was said that it was completely voluntary volunteers, but Zhao Jian believed that they were all active soldiers.

"If that's all for the first batch, it wouldn't be a problem with the capacity I have at hand. But it's going to be at least a week before I leave, and what can I do with these people? ”

"Where they lived, we had already arranged. When your side is ready, call this number and find a man named 'Big Ivan', who will take these volunteers to the docks to meet you. These volunteers and aid supplies are now officially entrusted to you, and I wish you all the best, Mr. Zhao! (To be continued......)

PS: I slept with the window open last night, and now I have a headache to death ORZ! Other than that...... Mao Mei is ready to appear!
