Spain in the thirties can be said to be in a state of extreme chaos, and the result of countless social contradictions accumulated over the years to the limit was civil war!

The left and right flanks lashed out at each other, failed government reforms, religious issues, etc., and finally, under the planning of some people with ulterior motives, a three-year civil war broke out.

On the surface, the war was fought between the right-wing National Army and the left-wing Republican Army, but the actual context was extremely complex – Spain had already changed more than a dozen governments in just a few years after the establishment of the Second Republic five years ago, and its political chaos can be seen.

The Spanish Civil War was also the first war in which new weapons were used on a large scale, and new types of warplanes and tanks were added to the battlefield with the integration of various countries in the world, because everyone had already regarded it as a testing ground for new weapons.

Bf-109 fighters, He-111 bombers, I-16 fighters, SB-2 bombers, T-26 light tanks, etc., all came to the fore, and both sides also received a lot of foreign aid.

In the end, the war, which lasted for nearly three years, ended with the victory of the Nationalist Army.

Zhou Changfeng's view of the defeat of the Spanish Republican Army is regretful but not worthy of sympathy, and in the past study of war history and history, the teacher once emphasized that the Spanish Republican Army was only a loose alliance.

It contains a large number of parties with different political views and positions, center, left, ultra-left, etc., and there are also different degrees of division within each party, so that the only consensus of the united IRA is to oppose the monarchy and support the republic, and there is no agreed program.

With such a loose and incessant infighting, and even the exclusion of their own troops, many officers and soldiers had to defect to the other side, which is comparable to self-destruction of the Great Wall.

The decisive factor in war is people, but courage alone cannot win.

Therefore, although the soldiers of the Republican Army were empty of enthusiasm and fighting spirit, they were mainly militiamen and volunteers, but they were poorly trained, uneven in quality, and low in combat effectiveness, and it took a year of training for the military advisers sent by Moscow to barely allow them to fight back and forth with the National Army.

The most typical example is the Siege of Toledo at the beginning of the war, when a large number of Republican militia surrounded the small number of Nationalist troops stationed at the castle of Toledo, with a total of 1,028 men, 5 heavy machine guns, and 2 artillery pieces, compared to more than 15,000 men, 23 guns, and 2 tanks.

As a result, the Republican Army fought for more than two months and was finally forced to retreat.

During this period, there was an even more trivial matter, that is, the Republican army captured the son of the commander of the castle defenders and coerced the defenders to surrender, but was sternly refused.

In Zhou Changfeng's opinion, this operation can be called a head caught in the door - making his decent image like a villain, which is what a normal person came up with?

It's no wonder that this plate of loose sand can succeed, I really think it's a dinner invitation? What a waste of thousands of soldiers' bloody sacrifices!

On this night, Zhou Changfeng slept late, because of the pain that made it difficult for him to sleep, and he couldn't even toss and turn.

The next day, early in the morning.

The students are on summer vacation, and the teachers naturally have nothing to do.

According to the regulations, the government and government agencies should pay wages on the last day of each month, but because the holiday is in early July, the school finance office pays wages a few days in advance.

The staff of the Treasury still had a cold expression on their faces, and the salaries were paid according to the roster, which was then signed by the recipients.

"Take it."

"Thank you."

After putting seven four-sea banknotes with a face value of ten yuan into a small leather bag, Xia Xiaoshi, who was in a good mood, was already thinking about how to spend money today when she crossed the threshold.

The history of paper money in China is not long, not to mention the Song Dynasty's Jiaozi, the Yuan and Ming dynasties issued a large number of "Da Yuan Treasure Banknotes" and "Ming Dynasty Treasure Notes". However, it is clear that the feudal dynasty could not play with paper money, so the indiscriminate issuance of treasure money became a tool for the government to exploit the people while depreciating sharply, so it became notorious.

Later Ming Gaozu chose to abolish the treasure money after the unification of the world, the original intention was to use silver honestly in the future, but after his death, it didn't take long for the inexplicable self-confident court to plan to issue paper money again.

Considering that the credit of the treasure banknote in the people has long been thrown into the pit, the tax supervision changed to issue the "Ming Pass Official Ticket", except for the difference in appearance and name, it is essentially no different from the treasure banknote.

So, after holding on to it for more than ten years, the official tickets of the Ming Dynasty began to flood, and finally ended up being hated by people.

In modern times, when the currency was reformed, the official bills were abolished, and the tax supervisor combined the names of the treasure banknotes and the official bills into one, and took the meaning of "passing all over the world", and named the new banknotes "Ming banknotes".

[The tax and financial system between the Ming Dynasty was in a mess, and the Later Ming Dynasty stripped the respective tax rights of the Ministry of Household (Taicang), the Ministry of Industry (Jieshen Library), and the Taifu Temple (Changying Library), and set up a new yamen "tax supervisor" separately, which was managed by it in a unified manner. This eunuch is not the eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, but the eunuch of the Qin Heavenly Eunuch, not the eunuch institution. 】

Although Xia Xiaoshi reverie a lot of things she wanted to buy along the way, she finally put those thoughts aside, because for now, what she wanted most in her heart was a Leica camera.

While buying a newspaper at the newsstand, she suddenly remembered the good news of the Battle of Uszzang, which had been reported a few days ago, and it was said that the forbidden army, which had come all the way to the war, also participated in the battle, and fought very well.

Now that we've won the battle, will we be able to come back soon?

Xia Xiaoshi naturally still thought about the jade pendant she had worn since she was a child, and she was a little apprehensive when she thought that her things had been taken so far away.

Alas, I only blame myself for being too impulsive at the time, and I must not act rashly in the future.

Why don't you go to the barracks and ask around? See when to return.

She decided to wait for that guy to return to the camp and hurry up to get her jade pendant back.

With this in mind, she simply drove to the west of the city, and it was not difficult to find the location of the 3rd Mixed Brigade, because there was a large area of them that belonged to them.

With only a handful of people left, the huge barracks looked deserted, with only two guards at the gate and one on the watchtower.

"What are you here for? Get? ”

"I'd like to ask when the army will return."

The two guards were tired of hearing similar inquiries, and people were coming to inquire almost every day these days.

The guard on the left shook his head slightly, "I don't know, maybe ten days and half a month." ”

When Xia Xiaoshi was about to turn around and leave, another person reminded: "Are you here to find someone?" There's a message book here.,You fill it in yourself.。 ”

"I... I have come to your sir. Although she couldn't quite tell the military position, her simple description was enough to make you guess who it was.

The two guards glanced at each other, and the man on the left thought for a moment and replied: "The battalion commander came back first yesterday, but he is injured and is now on the army hospital for treatment." ”
