The Republican government is rich, and the Falangists are even richer. Before this, all the gasoline for the National Army was provided by American oil companies, and the price was twice that of Adane.

The same goes for weapons and ammunition. The assistance provided by the Germans and Italians to the Falangists was not free, and the Spaniards also had to pay a high price.

Since it's all about paying money, why not buy southern African weapons and equipment with more advanced performance?

Of course, Southern African companies have no reason to refuse. The Spanish Republican government has fully shifted to Russia, and Southern African companies must survive.

From Rock's own perspective, Rock does not want Southern Africa to follow the path of Americans in another time and space and become mercenary.

However, reality is forcing southern Africa to move closer to the United States in another time and space. It can only be said that things are unpredictable.

What Rock is most concerned about is the protective umbrella.

spanish rebels

No, the word "rebels" cannot be used in the future. In the Spanish Civil War, the federal government of Southern Africa had no position. Since it was neutral, it must have a neutral attitude.

Then the National Army.

Now that the National Army has approached Madrid and is engaging in close firefights with the Madrid defenders, the more than two thousand remaining mercenaries of the Umbrella Company are all in the manor where Alvin once lived. They are always facing the threat of war, and Roque has to take responsibility for them.

"The republican government has never restricted the movement of Umbrella Company mercenaries. They can leave Madrid at any time." Jose Laporta looked ashamed. On the issue of mercenaries, the republican government was completely wrong.

Although war hyenas are notorious, Umbrella Company mercenaries contributed to the Spanish Civil War.

Now that the republican government is burning bridges, Jose Laporta doesn't know how to explain it. The short-sightedness is the best reflection of the republican government.

Of course, from the standpoint of the republican government, they have no choice.

"I have to remind you that Lord Beihai is still in Valencia. If something happens to Lord Beihai, I guarantee that at least half of the Spaniards will be buried with Lord Beihai." Little Zach's tone was cold, how much Rock valued Alvin,

Little Zach knows that very well.

While Gavin is obsessed with scientific research, Alvin is Rock's best successor.

The "heir" here does not refer to Roque's title, but to Roque's status in southern Africa.

Southern Africa needs a leader with a long-term vision like Roque. This is the consensus of everyone.

If your vision is not as long-term as Rock's, then it would be good to possess one of Rock's qualities, such as bravery, justice, or iron-bloodedness.

Gavin and Alvin actually have their own merits. Gavin inherited the emphasis on people's livelihood and the development of internal affairs.

What Alvin inherited was Rock's bravery and fearlessness in the face of difficulties.

In the opinion of most people, this is what southern Africa needs most.

Compared with people's livelihood, Southern Africa needs a strong leader so that it can lead Southern Africa and maintain its advantage in future international competition.

As the actual person in charge of Brad's office, little Zach is a staunch supporter of Alvin.

"Valencia is not safe now. Lord Beihai had better leave Spain as soon as possible." Jose Laporta was also speechless. Alvin was in Spain with a guard that could fight against the "Condor Legion", who could?

Limiting Alvin's freedom?

There really is.

Major Pedro of the People's Guard wanted to keep Alvin.

Major Pedro, like General Grishin who appeared earlier, is Russian, and no one knows his real name.

In Spain today, there are many people like Major Pedro who suddenly appear. Some of them are called Medina, some are called Carlos, and some are called Alfredo. They are all pseudonyms.

Major Pedro claimed to be Italian, but he had a strong Hungarian accent. He was short and muscular, like a strong bulldog, and his whole person was very uncoordinated.

These foreign generals and majors are much purer than the weak petty bourgeoisie and lawless anarchists within the republican government. After arriving in Spain, they went further on the basis of the left-wing alliance reforms and confiscated the property rights of capitalists and landlords.

Property, stricter public ownership of enterprises, and trade unions' rights have been greatly increased, even overriding the republican government in many aspects.

Compared with the politicians in the previous republican government, these people are indeed more experienced.

The current republican government has clearly stated that the most important task at present is to win the civil war, and "defeat Franco first" has become the consensus of the republican government. The citizens of Madrid have also been mobilized to participate in the battle to encircle Madrid.

In Valencia, the manor where Alvin lives is surrounded by a group of Popular Guard soldiers.

The People's Guard does not want to arrest Alvin, but rather requisitions the armored vehicles equipped by the Alvin Guard, especially the four high-level dual-purpose machine guns, which are the anti-aircraft weapons that the People's Guard is in urgent need of.

"Sorry, these equipments are the property of the Umbrella Company. You have no right to requisition them. Please leave immediately." Li Yan refused directly. Major Pedro was brave enough to enter the manor alone to negotiate with Li Yan. Alvin's guards outside and

The personal guard is standing ready.

In terms of weapons and equipment, Alvin's guards have the advantage. The People's Guards are all lightly armed infantry and don't even have a few machine guns.

However, in terms of numbers, the People's Guard has a complete advantage. Alvin's guard has only more than a hundred people, while the People's Guard has a full battalion, and can receive reinforcements at any time.

"Everything on Spanish soil is the property of the Spanish Republican Government, and all your weapons and equipment have been requisitioned." Major Pedro had a tough attitude and greedy eyes.

"Alligator" armored vehicles from southern Africa are also exported, but the export models are obviously different from the "Alligators" equipped by the Alvin Guard. Intelligence provided by the GPU shows that these "Alligators" equipped by the Alvin Guard

, the performance may be more powerful than T26.

The GPU was established in 1917. Its full name is the All-Russian Extraordinary Committee for the Suppression of Counterrevolution and Sabotage, which is the famous Cheka.

As a large number of Russians came to Spain, the Cheka's scale in Spain expanded rapidly, and Alvin was the key target of the Cheka's attention.

"Requisition? Are you crazy!" Li Yan laughed loudly. The federal government of Southern Africa also requisitioned a large number of ships when implementing the immigration plan, but they were all paid and there was a formal "Requisition Order".

When it comes to the republican government, they simply say "requisition" and want to drive away all the armored vehicles. It's simply unreasonable.

"You will know right away if you are crazy. Now I just ask you, do you agree?" Major Pedro is really not just whimsical. This is how Russians do things. Just go through the procedures, and the same goes for reissues afterwards.

"I don't agree, please go back." Li Yan doesn't want to talk nonsense to Major Pedro. Russians are arrogant, but southern Africans are easy to bully?

Just kidding.

Major Pedro was not joking. After he left the manor, the People's Guard soldiers began to form their troops and prepare to attack.

There is a saying that after the Russians took over the People's Guard, the appearance of the People's Guard took on a completely new look. During the siege of Toledo Castle, the People's Guard performed badly. Now in Madrid, the performance of the People's Guard has surprised the world.

Shock.

The National Army divided into four groups to besiege Madrid, with the main direction of attack being the university town of Vallecas.

In the university town, a fierce battle broke out between the People's Guard and the National Army. The positions changed hands many times. The National Army had the advantage in terms of strength and equipment. The only thing the People's Guard had was high fighting spirit.

The People's Guard used its own courage to prove that flesh and blood can really compete with steel. Facing the National Army, which has both air superiority and armored forces, the People's Guard used homemade bombs and used the terrain to engage in brutal street battles with the National Army.

Women and children in Madrid even spontaneously provided support to the front line. This situation completely shocked military observers from various countries.

The crux of the matter is here.

The better the performance of the People's Guard, the more wary countries become about Russia.

The UK is better, but the Communist International may not even look down on the virtues of the British Labor Party.

France is too dangerous. Don’t forget that the French have a revolutionary tradition. If France is infiltrated by the Russians and the Parisians start a battle to defend Paris, what will the French government do?

Therefore, the better the performance of the Popular Guard, the more determined the British and French blockade will be against the Spanish Republican government.

Valencia, like Madrid, has been completely Russianized. The People's Guards surrounding the manor belong to the Third Brigade of the International Column. This unit is about to go to Madrid to participate in the war, which is why Major Pedro is so urgent.

"Send a telegram to Pretoria and request permission to fight." Li Yan needs Pretoria's authorization to counterattack.

"It's too late. Send a telegram directly to the Republican government. If these People's Guards enter the manor, we will regard it as an attack." Alvin was more decisive. The counterattack did not require Pretoria's approval. If the Secret Service of the Palace of Justice were in

Valencia was disarmed by the Popular Guard, and the federal government of Southern Africa was completely disgraced.

"We still have more than two thousand combatants in Madrid." Major Mason of the Umbrella Company looked worried. If a conflict breaks out between the Alvin Guard and the People's Guard, the mercenaries in Madrid who have not had time to withdraw will be in danger.

"They don't need us to worry. Even if we all die in battle, we can't sit still and wait for death!" Alvin's blood boiled. When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. If the People's Guard dares to attack, Alvin will dare to lead the guard to fight a bloody road.

The Guard does not have as many troops as the People's Guard, but four wheels can run faster than two legs. The warships of the Cyprus Squadron are located off the coast of Valencia.

Not only the Cyprus Squadron, but also the aircraft carrier "Rhodesia" and the "Basutoland" already in service in the Atlantic Fleet are also rushing to the rescue.
