Chapter 257 Tied to a German Chariot

Since the French government's position is to support the current Madrid government, it is of course Mora's enemy!

"If the Spanish army can join us in attacking France, then we welcome it. If the Spanish army remains neutral, then we only need to use the Spanish base."

Cyric continued: "I hope you can agree to this condition. We will remember when we win the credits of France and Spain, and Spain's territory will also expand."

As a former empire on which the sun never sets, Spain and France also have deep contradictions. In the Napoleonic period, they fought a tragic war with Spain, and hundreds of thousands died.

Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers, and leaders who don't want to open up territory for their own country are not good leaders. Sure enough, Cyric's condition is causing Mora's thinking to change slowly.

If it is agreed that the German army will use Spain as a springboard to attack France, then it will be no different from Spain attacking France by itself, and Spain is always opposed to France anyway, so it is the same.

His position has been slowly shaken.

"Also, with regard to the control of Gibraltar, we have always believed that Gibraltar is an inalienable territory of Spain, which was forcibly occupied by the British. We support Spain's legitimate claims."

Spain has a conflict with France, and even more with the UK, and it is more direct. This is about the control of the Strait of Gibraltar!

The Strait of Gibraltar is located between the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula in Europe and the northwestern corner of Africa. About 48 nautical miles long. The strait is wide in the west and narrow in the east, with the widest point of 23 nautical miles and the narrowest point of only 6.5 nautical miles.

The Strait of Gibraltar is the only channel connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, and it can be said to be the "lifeline" of the West. Especially after the opening of the Suez Canal, the Strait of Gibraltar has become a shortcut for shipping between the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean!

From the map, the most convenient way to control the Strait of Gibraltar is a peninsula to the north called Gibraltar.

It has always belonged to the territory of Spain, but in 1704, the British, newly promoted to the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, occupied Gibraltar and established a military fortress. Ten years later, Spain signed a peace treaty with Britain, humiliatingly ceding Gibraltar to Britain.

During the two world wars, it was an important naval base for the United Kingdom. And Spain has never given up its claim to Gibraltar's sovereignty. Unfortunately, after decades of litigation in the United Nations, the British just won't let it go.

If Germany wants to win World War II, it has a lot of resource requirements, and the demand for oil is extremely huge. Therefore, in Cyric's plan, the Mediterranean Sea must fall under German control.

Only when the Mediterranean Sea is controlled, the oil from Libya can be continuously shipped to Germany! Only Germany can continue the war! In this way, it is necessary to seize control of Gibraltar!

And now, there is a good opportunity in front of you to incite Spain and take back their own territory!

"If General Mora is willing, when necessary, we can also help the Spanish army, just like now, to seize the territory of Gibraltar from the British," Cyric said.

Cyric's idea was very correct. After thinking about it for ten minutes, Mora finally made his decision: "I can accept all three opinions in principle."

Mora had no chance of refusing. Also, these are good for Spain.

Cyric was overjoyed. In this way, Spain was tied to a German chariot. When that time comes, obediently fight World War II with Spain!

Historically, Franco has always remained neutral, ungrateful white-eyed wolf, forgetting the help of Germany and Italy during the Civil War era!

Now, Cyric has completely rewritten the progression of the Spanish Civil War! General Mora has been more cooperative so far. If so, there is no need to waste time on the Spanish Civil War!

If Mora wants to go back on it in the future, then he still has tricks to deal with him. As for now, let's end this war first!

"General Cyric, when do you think it is more appropriate for us to attack Madrid?" Mora asked Cyric. Now, Mora is also very eager to take down Madrid, so that the remaining places belong to small shares. The resistance force, the whole of Spain, will fall under his control.

"Not now, wait a few days," Cyric said.

Wait a few days? This is not Cyric's style! Mora looked at Cyric inexplicably and heard Cyric's explanation: "In a few days, without us fighting, there will be civil unrest in Madrid. When that time comes, if we attack again, we will easily get in."

Mora was still puzzled.

"Today, we deliberately put in a group of people, this group of people came all the way from Moscow, their goal is to promote the eradication of counter-revolutionaries to the international column, to Spain, and to spread the Trotskyites and Anarchists kill them all." Cyric could only continue to explain.

The whole of Madrid was surrounded, how could those few people pass through the valley? Of course, it was the result of their own intentional release of water! Now, just wait for the civil unrest inside!

When it comes to intelligence work, Reinhardt is really an expert!

Before Cyric came to Madrid, these information gathered in Cyric's hands, and Cyric immediately gave instructions to put these lovely people in!

Now that the Soviet purge in the country is in full swing, this trend will of course be extended to Madrid!

Trotskyites, that is Stalin's thorn in the side, and the whole world is hunting them down. Stalin will definitely spare no effort!

As for the anarchists, it is the original cancer of Spain, and it is also in serious conflict with the beliefs of the Third International. It is better to eliminate them together!

At the same time, in a deeper sense, Cyric seemed to see it too.

Stalin already knew that the situation of the Spanish Civil War was irreversible, he had not benefited from it, and a big city like Barcelona had also fallen, so the Republican Army would definitely lose in the end.

So, just raise the butcher's knife and kill all the people who should be killed before they fail, and they won't come in vain.

In this era, where is justice and morality! In the dark age, you are more ruthless than anyone! Now, it's getting late, and I don't know if the massacre in Madrid has begun?
