Chapter 193： play off

Hearing what Cyric said, Franco was taken aback, what plan?

"I am not optimistic that we will continue to attack Madrid this time." Cyric said: "Even if we mobilize the armored division, it will not work. The armored division is a field force, not a street fighting force. In street fighting, our troops will Suffer a loss that is unacceptable to us."

Cyrek made it very clear that Germany had sent troops and there would be an armored division, but it was definitely not for street fighting.

Others don’t know, Cyric knows very well that street fighting is simply a terrible meat grinder! How many people died in the defense of Stalingrad in later generations in Germany and the Soviet Union?

Cyric would not send out his precious troops to consume them.

Hearing this, Franco was stunned, not playing Madrid? Madrid, who is in front of you, won't fight?

"I said last time that it would be unwise to attack Madrid without severing Madrid's foreign aid. Now, the best way is to attack the surrounding area first and encourage Madrid thoroughly."

The plan that Cyric put forward last time, although his adviser said, everyone present knows it. Of course Franco knew that he had just forgotten it deliberately.

And now, Franco can't hold on anymore.

The scene cooled down, and no one spoke.

The first time I underestimated the enemy, did not take Madrid, and even the city was not close. At the same time, everyone knew that Cyric's inference was correct.

At present, half of Spain's land is still under the control of the Republican Army. They still have deep war potential, and there are still many ports that can receive assistance from the Soviet Union.

As long as the Soviet Union continues to give blood transfusions, this battle will not end easily.

However, Franco would never agree. Madrid is right in front of his eyes. Asking him to give up Madrid is more uncomfortable than killing him.

Everyone knew what was going on in their hearts, but they didn't know how to say it. Now, it's the conflict of ideas between Franco and Cyric.

Although nominally, the Vulture Legion was under the unified command of Franco, but in fact, without Cyric's consent, Franco would not want to mobilize a member of the Vulture Legion.

Last winter is an example.

"General Jose, what do you think of my proposal?" Seeing Franco remained silent for a long time, Cyric said to the commander of the new Central Army.

"That, I think, General Cyric what you said is reasonable, but General Franco also has his considerations, and we have to listen to General Franco's arrangements for details." Jose didn't dare. Looking up at Cyrek, he was simply muttering to himself.

If there was no Cyric, there would be no such position for Jose. Jose is a bridge between Cyric and Franco, but now, between Franco and Cyric, Jose doesn’t know how to choose. .

Therefore, Jose is simply very clever, and no one is to blame.

Cyric sneered secretly in his heart, thinking he was smart, but in fact he was stupid!

His statement at this time would of course hurt Franco. As the commander of the Central Army that Franco pulled up with one hand, Jose actually did not support Franco’s decision. Just today’s statement, Franco’s heart It must have been murderous, this buddy is definitely a gloomy person who cannot tolerate any betrayal.

"General Mora, what do you think?" Cyric continued to ask. Today's meeting was a very successful meeting. All these people under Franco were stirred to conflict with Franco, and he succeeded. Up.

Emilio Mora was born in Cuba in 1887 and joined the Spanish army in 1907. After promotion, he was promoted to brigadier general in 1927.

Last year, Mora joined the Spanish military alliance organized by the former military leader Jose Sanjujo, planning to overthrow the Second Spanish Republic and build momentum for Sanjujo in the country.

After the outbreak of the Civil War, Mora became an important commander of the National Army. After Sanjuho died in an accident, the command of the National Army was divided into Mora in the north and General Franco in the south.

After Badajoz opened up, the north and south armies came together, and Mora accepted Franco's leadership and besieged Madrid together.

As the same General Mora, who is well-known in Spain, he doesn’t look at Franco’s face when he speaks. After hearing Cyric’s questioning, he thought about it and said: "I think Cyric What the general said is reasonable. I heard that the international column has been organized into the 15th squadron. There is a steady stream of outside reinforcements. Coming from various countries, we are not fighting against a Republican government, but most of the world."

For General Mora, it doesn't matter if one day earlier or one day later. He also values ​​external reinforcements. Madrid is constantly being transfused. If you want to win Madrid, you can only cut off their support!

Even Mora supported Cyric's statement, and Franco's face became cold.

Now, the people present, there are still two commanders who didn’t speak Italy, they have been in the audience all the time. To them, it doesn’t matter how they fight. Then, the rest is the commander of the Southern Army. Liano is out.

Liano knew that at this time, he had to express his stance. Although from the heart, he also supported Cyric's views, but he knew that if he said the same, Franco would definitely be frustrated.

In the midst of a crisis, Llano said: "I think it is not difficult to block foreign aid. For example, we can invite the Italian fleet and the German fleet to the Mediterranean and our Atlantic. Carry out patrols and interfere with the aid of the Soviets. After all, the Soviets are members of the Non-Interference Committee."

In September last year, in response to the Spanish Civil War that broke out on the European mainland, London held a meeting of the "Non-Interference Committee" including 27 European countries. The committee officially began its work to prohibit the export and transfer of weapons and military materials to Spain. .

Germany and Italy are not members, but the Soviet Union is.

Liano's proposal solved the current problem. Cyric's proposal was that only by cutting off their reinforcements can they have the hope of victory, so they cannot play Madrid first.

And what Liano said is to change the way, cut off reinforcements, let the navy do it, and land wars must be resolved from Madrid.

Said Franco's eyes brightly: "I think this method is feasible!"

Of course it is possible for you. This is to provoke a direct contradiction between Italy, Germany and the Soviet Union! Cyric couldn’t help but think in his heart, but Cyric didn’t veto this proposal too much. Since they are all training soldiers, it is also good to train with the navy. Especially, after staying in the Atlantic for a long time, it’s time to enter the Mediterranean. Wandering around.

So Cyric nodded.
