Chapter 192: German surge

Time has crossed to 1937. In the entire history, this is a turbulent year.
This year, large-scale military operations took place in the Far East. China suffered brutal aggression. In this year, Maozi in the north carried out the great purge to a new level. Stalin personally pointed out that there are still Japan, Germany and Japan in the party. Trotskyite spies, as a result, Tukhachevsky was unfortunately recruited and became the highest general who was purged.
In Europe, the civil war that took place in Spain is still in the making, ready to be pushed to a higher level.
"General Cyric, you are very happy to be simple." At the new year's military meeting, Franco was very happy to see Cyric who came here. After dormant for more than a month, Cyric was finally willing to attend. The military meeting!
Franco felt like a mirror in his heart. Cyric was able to attend this meeting because he was helpless and made many principled concessions.
For example, Franco has signed a new decree allowing Germany to mine minerals. Although this decree stipulates that foreign shares in Spanish mining companies shall not exceed 40%, it is only 10% higher than before. However, if foreign investors want to increase their shareholding, it is not impossible to consider it.
Next, Bernhardt proposed that 20% of the capital should be raised from the society, and these capitals should be subscribed by the Spanish of Seymour-Montania.
Since Franco is now completely pinning on Germany's military power, Franco turned a blind eye to this plan and completely let it go.
By January of this year, five anonymous companies had obtained the mining rights of Seymour-Montania. According to the provisions of this decree, German capital owns 40% of the shares; in fact, through several anonymous companies, Germany controls another 35% of the shares.
Because the mining law only covers Spain, not Morocco, Seymour-Montania bought most of the shares of Reeve’s mining companies, and the Franco government allowed Germany to Morocco established a wholly-owned company called "Mauritania".
In this way, the plan to control the Spanish mining industry has finally progressed smoothly in Spain.
Franco has already made a series of friendly measures. These measures have benefited Germany greatly. Correspondingly, Cyric has also ended this non-violent and non-cooperative behavior. Detailed consultations began during the war.
Of course, there were also heads of other military regions, as well as the commanders of the Italian Intervention Army, who all attended this meeting.
The topic of the meeting is the next action and how to proceed.
"Due to various reasons, our last action was unfavorable." Franco said: "Now, we need to work harder and prepare for the second attack. The shortage of troops is the first problem we face. In this regard, , We hope that Italian and German friends can give us more support."
Franco’s first question was to increase troops!
If you want to fight, you need someone. Now, the Madrid army on the opposite side is constantly increasing in number, and Franco also hopes that he has as many people as possible. Although he is constantly expanding his national army, foreign aid is even more important.
It can be said that if there was no international column, he would have taken Madrid long ago, and now, if he wants to successfully take Madrid, he must have enough troops. The support from Germany and Italy is very important.
Moreover, in contrast, he values ​​Germany more!
"We can continue to increase troops." Cyric said: "In terms of aviation, we intend to double. At the same time, in terms of ground forces, in order to better assist our allies, we have decided to mobilize more troops to bring us the most The elite Waffen-SS First Armored Division, mobilize here."
In an instant, Franco was overjoyed: "That's really great!"
The combat effectiveness of the Waffen SS is far greater than that of the German army, because all good equipment is given priority to the Waffen SS. For example, the Panther tank is replaced by them first. Said to be Hitler's direct line of troops!
Now, to mobilize an armored division, it can be said that it does not matter if all the Italian troops are withdrawn. With this armored division, it is enough to sweep Madrid!
The mobilization of the first armored division is also an issue that Cyric has been considering recently.
Historically, Germany’s assistance to Spain was mainly the Air Force, the Condor Corps. Although there were ground forces, it was almost negligible.
But now, Cyric has passed through and knows the future direction of Spain. Of course Cyric does not want this to happen again, so Cyric wants to change everything!
One of the important points is to deploy a powerful force in Spain. This force will not be withdrawn even after the Spanish Civil War is over~EbookFREE.me~. A military base must be established in Spain! In this way, after World War II starts, Germany can attack France from Spain and mainland China!
After careful consideration, and returned to Berlin, after interviews with Hitler, finally made this decision, mobilize a coup armored division to come up!
Now, the second armored division of the Waffen-SS has also been fully staffed and is undergoing training, while the first armored division has just pulled up to test their combat effectiveness!
Franco was overjoyed. Now, he has fully understood the insidiousness of Cyric, that is, he wants to use domestic mines in exchange for military support.
I did not cooperate last year because I did not agree to their terms. Now, Germany has gotten what they wanted, and of course it will increase its support to Spain.
Well, I would like to thank them for their support first. After I have won Madrid and I have secured my position in Spain, the conditions of those mines can be slowly changed.
The Italian side is also very happy. Now, they have invested a lot of money in this operation. Moreover, Mussolini does not have so many moths. Mussolini is almost always selfless. Italy, deeply mired in war, is now unable to invest more funds.
In this case, it is good for Italy to maintain the status quo, and it is the best choice to have Germany increase its troops.
"As long as the German army moves over, we will be able to launch an attack on Madrid immediately." Franco vowed: "I believe that we will be able to take Madrid this time!"
Hearing this, Cyric shook his head: "General Franco, you are too eager for quick success. Have you really considered the plan I proposed last time?"
