The Third Reich

Chapter 141 Condor Legion

Hitler's love for Cyric is evident!

Last time, when Cyric went to the United States, he almost suffered a traffic accident, which made Hitler quite regretful. From that time, he decided not to send Cyric abroad.

Cyric has a bigger role in the rear! For example, under the auspices of Cyric, Germany's military equipment is developing at an unprecedented speed. A few days ago, Hitler just heard about a plan for atomic energy. He was quite surprised. Mark, great support for development.

At the same time, Cyric was also the commander of the SS, in charge of the development of Hitler's direct army, and even more of Hitler's confidant.

Now, to put Cyric on the battlefield, Hitler is absolutely reluctant!

"Führer, I am willing to go." At this moment, Cyric volunteered to fight: "As a soldier of the Empire, we will never be afraid of danger. It is the honor of every soldier to die in battle!"

"Only the weak born will think this is cruel... Anyone who wants to survive must struggle, and those who don't want to struggle are not worthy of living in this world of eternal struggle. Even if it is cruel, it is an objective reality." Xi Rui Ke's words were flat, but they cheered everyone up.

Go, why not go? this is a good chance.

Cyric didn't intend to go, but now, after being pushed out by Himmler, Cyric was duty-bound.

Danger? What is not dangerous, he might fall into a well while walking, and he might choke on drinking water. Cyric is not afraid of any danger.

On the contrary, along with the dangers are the benefits.

Now, Cyric's hand can only be extended to the SS. In the Wehrmacht, Cyric's influence is not very large, especially in the air force, which is controlled by Göring, who dares to To put your hand into the Air Force is to steal Goring's wife.

And this time in the Spanish Civil War, Germany will send all the air force pilots to Spain in turn, so that Cyric will be familiar with all the air force pilots! Commanding them and gaining their respect will be quite useful for Cyric's future development!

Those Junkers soldiers always thought that Cyric was incapable of bullshit, but commanded the most powerful legion. They were not convinced by Cyric, and through this battle in Spain, they even won the Junkers officer corps. support!

In an instant, Cyric thought of a lot of benefits, all of which made him worth a try, go to Spain!

Moreover, Cyric has no pressure, because history has long proven that in the end, the international column supported by the Soviet Union failed and left in despair, while the Franco government supported by Germany succeeded!

It is destined to win, isn't it a good choice to brush up on the record? Why refuse?

Therefore, upon hearing Himmler's recommendation, Cyric simply volunteered.

"As long as Commander Goering agrees." Cyric continued: "Goering, are you going or I'm going?"

"Führer, I think Cyric is a good choice." Goering immediately made a choice, and there was no need for Goering to fight with Cyric. At this time, he had not yet figured out that whoever went to Spain could command his air force.

"Okay, then it's settled." Hitler said: "Cyric, you must pay attention to your own safety. It is your responsibility to command the rear. Going to the front line is not brave, but reckless. By the way, about Should the army we go on this expedition have a loud name?"

"Führer, how about I propose to call it the Condor Legion?" Cyric said.

Condor Legion! Hearing the name, Goering immediately agreed: "Yes, this name is really good!"

Completely highlighting his air force, Goering was satisfied.

"Okay, then it's called the Condor Legion, our army, be ready to go to Spain at any time!" Hitler was also very satisfied.

Germany has made all preparations, but there is one thing left before Germany intervenes in Spain's internal affairs, Franco's request.

Fortunately, Hitler did not wait long.

On July 20, General Sanjuho in Lisbon planned to go to northern Spain to join General Mora and command the National Army, but his plane crashed. In this way, the command of the Spanish armed forces was divided into Mora in the north. La and South Franco.

A day later, the government's national army had occupied the naval base in northwestern Spain. The officers in the navy who supported the national army were killed by water pistols loyal to the government, seized command and blocked the Spanish coast.

As for Franco, who was originally based in Morocco, his main troops were all in Africa. In this way, the only way to send his Afrikaans to Spain was by air.

And Franco, there is no transport aircraft.

July 25th, late.

The sky outside was dark, and there was not a single star to be seen. Raindrops the size of beans kept falling from the sky, hitting the ground and splashing water.

It was pouring rain, and it was rushing down.

Bayreuth, the Wagner family villa.

Several people in a hurry flashed into the villa. They handed the raincoats they were wearing to the servants who received them. When they took off the raincoats, their tall bodies were revealed. They were all soldiers.

"Great head of state, I'm very happy to meet you." The visitor said to the mustache sitting on the sofa, with a very respectful tone: "We are here on behalf of General Franco."

"Sit down, everyone," Hitler said politely.

"Great head of state, our current war has reached the most difficult time. Now, we very much hope that you can volunteer to send ten transport planes to help us transport the army." The other party's tone was very urgent.

Spain's help has finally arrived! Hitler said generously at the moment: "Well, no problem at all, we can send twenty transport planes, and, plus six fighter escorts."

Hitler's generosity surprised the people who came, and then they continued: "It's just that our funds are not very abundant now."

The wealth of the country is in the hands of the left-wing government, and General Franco does not have much money.

"The question of money will be discussed later." Hitler was quite generous: "For now, we will fully support General Franco."

Spain is rich in products, with pyrite mining accounting for 50% of the world's mining volume and mercury mining accounting for 45% of the world's total. As long as Franco is in power, will they still be worried that they can't afford it?

Spain has an extremely important strategic position as it tightly controls the throat from the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. Hitler would also be intolerable if the red "Popular Front" were in power in Spain.

There is a more important one, Spain, and France are a feud!

With Franco's request for help and Hitler's consent, the battle of the Condor Legion officially began!
