Chapter 121

"Mr. special envoy." Acado did it on the sofa with a smile, took a cup of hot coffee from Anna, said with a smile to the Spaniard in front of him: "war, you depend on us, so I suggest you play football for more development."

"Mr. Fuehrer." Spain's special envoy was a little displeased, but he still asked: "Spain has fired the first shot against the Comintern for the western world! As one of the leaders of capitalist countries, Germany should stand on the side of Spain! Isn't it? " Obviously, the Spanish envoy did not understand the "humor" of Ricardo about football.

"I'm glad you said that, but we should see the status quo." Akado waved his hand, put the coffee in his other hand on the coffee table in front of him, and continued to smile and say: "first, the first shot of * had been fired more than ten years ago; Second, Germany is far from being arrogant. Germany is the recognized pioneer in the world! Mr. special envoy! When Germany executed 500 Communists, the Spaniards were still voting for *

As he said this, he went to his desk, picked up an economic document on the desk, flicked the corner and rattled the document: "look! Ford of the United States plans to build three automobile factories in Germany to compete with Mercedes Benz for the market share of the whole Europe. "

Then he threw the document back on the table and picked up another one: "Romania hopes to import China's export-oriented 38t tanks. This order was originally given to Czechoslovakia, but now it's handed over to me."

Looking at some unknown Spanish envoys, akado continued: "now that Germany has just taken back the eastern provinces, as well as the German provinces of Soviet Union, Taiwan and Slovakia, we have too many things to digest and too many things to improve. Without a necessary reason, Germany does not want to complicate the situation in Europe at this stage."

What akado said is that if there is no necessary reason, it will automatically be understood as "if there is a necessary reason, then Germany will intervene."

So the Spanish envoy immediately said, "Mr. Fuehrer! Our leader Franco promised you that Spain, under his rule, will firmly support Germany's diplomatic stand. "

"It's a promise not even for children to fight, Mr. special envoy." Akado laughed and said: "you know, today you can support me because of interests, and tomorrow you will betray me because of interests. What I need is a real Treaty of interest protection, Mr. special envoy! "

"This..." to tell you the truth, Franco sent this special envoy to Germany to fight for aid, which was also a last resort, because the traditional powers who won the war lacked interest in participating in the Spanish Civil War because of the economic crisis.

Both the British government and the French government have made it clear that they will not interfere. Although they have secretly supported Franco with a lot of weapons and ammunition, they are still an outsider mediator.

The U.S. government is far behind other powers, so it has no big response to the Spanish Civil War. So the only thing Franco can hope for now is the original backup plan, that is, Italy, which has not improved since the Roman Empire, and Germany, which has just lost the war and has little influence.

"Then, please make a list. If we can accept it, we will cooperate in an all-round way immediately." For this reason, the Spanish special envoy was simply single once. He pushed the problem to acardo with both hands, with a posture of "if you can talk about it, if you can't talk about it, don't talk about it.".

"You know, I came from the national defense forces. This time, I still rely on the national defense forces, so I have to ask for some benefits for the national defense forces, some tangible benefits." Akado no longer wore a smile on his face, but said solemnly: "let's talk about the conditions of the military first."

"Mr. Fuehrer, I know that Germany has always wanted to have a naval base in the Mediterranean, and Spain is willing to provide such a port, which will be leased to Germany for 99 years at the price of 1 mark." The Spanish special envoy knew that it was no good not to show a little sincerity, so he generously offered his price.

"In the Atlantic direction, I want three ports; In the Mediterranean, I want two on loan, but the infrastructure needs to be built by Spain. " Akado held out five fingers: "five ports! That's my condition

"Three! We can rent up to three of you! And these three ports must allow Spain to set up customs! " The Spanish envoy clenched his teeth and held out three fingers.

"Good! Two in the Atlantic and one in the Mediterranean Akado nodded: "but we need Spain to import 15 million barrels of oil from France and the United Kingdom at the expense of Germany, but in the name of Spain! Do you understand? "

"In addition, I still represent the interests of many German consortia, and they have elected me as their spokesman. I can't neglect my duty. Mr. special envoy, are you right?" After a question, without waiting for the Spanish special envoy's reply, akado said, "so I want Spain to lower the tariff of 30% on German goods, and allow the German to make any investment in Spain."

"At most, the tariff can only be reduced by 10%! Otherwise, we can't account to Britain, France and other countries! " The special envoy waved his hand and said.

"Twenty percent!" Akkado snorted coldly: "it can't be less."

"If that's all, on behalf of our leader, Mr. Franco, I promise you the terms." The Spanish special envoy took out his handkerchief, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and gave some reply.

"That's all? How is that possible? " Akado waved his hand: "Spain must sign an agreement to formally become allies with Germany and Italy, allowing German forces to deploy forces in necessary areas when fighting against a common enemy."

"How can that work?" The Spanish special envoy suddenly tensed up: "it is absolutely impossible to deploy troops on our territory! Spain will not be able to sign such an alliance agreement. If it is known by its own people, we will lose people's support immediately. "

"A secret agreement, of course! Moreover, this agreement is only to prevent German hostile countries from damaging German facilities in Spain, not to deploy troops in Spain all the time. You can work out the terms for that! " Akado hopes that this will allay the concerns of the Spanish envoy.

"Even so, I think Germany is asking too much." There was a strong sense of dissatisfaction in the tone of the Spanish envoy.

"You have no choice! Mr. special envoy! The exact information I got, just a day ago, General Franco lost his line of defense! Cordoba has been captured by the Republican Army! Now the Republican Army is advancing to Seville. If Franco can't get a lot of arms and aid, you can go back a few days later and guard his body! "

"This... The price we have paid is too high! Mr. Fuehrer! I hope you'll be kind enough to make some concessions. " The Spanish envoy sighed helplessly and said in a tone similar to begging.

"Concessions cannot be accepted by all sectors of Germany. But do you want to hear, what can Spain get? " "Or do you want to hear what Franco, Spain's future leader, can get?" acado asked with a smile

"What?" The Spanish envoy was stunned, then asked subconsciously.

"Germany will send a regiment of 500 officers, and Mr. tefranco will train his army. At the same time, we will send a force of more than 2000 officers to Spain to fully take over the local command of the Spanish army and help Spain win the civil war!" Akado handed a document to the Spanish special envoy: "if the war situation changes, we will send more troops, up to 30000 at most."

Akado went to the front of the map and pointed out the route to the Spanish special envoy: "after passing through northern Italy and boarding the transport ship, the best aircraft and tanks produced by Germany in the world will be transported to the Spanish battlefield. These weapons and equipment will help Mr. Franco defeat his opponent easily and easily."

"Mr. Fuehrer, can you guarantee that the army is the best? Weapons and equipment are the best? " The Spanish special envoy frowned and asked, "the weapons and equipment we need are used by the German defense forces, not obsolete rubbish."

"If you don't get into trouble and like junk." At the end of the negotiation, akado joked in a good mood: "I don't mind if you go to our national defense forces and pick it up by yourself!"

"These materials and personnel, when can they be in place?" The Spanish envoy anxiously asked the question he most wanted to know.

Akado is also very generous, and immediately provided his most satisfactory answer: "Mr. special envoy, the first transport ship, which is full of bullets and shells, can rush from Italy to Spain at any time."

"We need a lot of guns and ammunition, but what we need most is machine guns, a lot of light machine guns... Of course, we are also very short of aircraft and artillery." As soon as the Spanish special envoy heard of this, he immediately came to the spirit.

"Go to my foreign minister, Merkel, as long as you sign the agreement. All these things can be shipped right away. " Akado said with a smile, just like a successful Fox: "I'm more friendly sponsor, lend you a new fighter, it's a good thing, I promise you it can defeat any enemy aircraft! But the rent is extra. Don't look at me with that kind of resentful look. This plane has just served in Germany, but I tried my best to persuade general Catherine to take out 50... "

On September 17, 1934, Germany signed a secret treaty with Spain. The German Navy obtained the secret base south of the English Channel. Franco's army, which was reinforced, began to fight back madly and moved back to its inferior position in one breath, which made the capitalist countries see the hope of defeating the Bolsheviks again in the Spanish Civil War.

Under the protection of the Italian Navy, German transport ships were almost in a straight line in the Mediterranean, and a large number of weapons, equipment and personnel were transported to Spain to do their part in bringing down the international military. Thanks to this aid, czechoslovak industry, which was not so prosperous, is full of vitality in the hands of the head of state.
