Chapter 133 Spain

Yannick asked Reinhard after Minister Walter left. "What happened last time when you sent someone to contact the Duke of Windsor? What did he mean? Are you going to be obsessed with the gentle country for the rest of your life? Don't you have any other ambitions?"

"Yes, Your Highness." Reinhard said helplessly. "The Duke of Windsor seems to have completely given up on the idea of ​​returning to the throne."

"He really loves beauty but not country." Yannick couldn't help but clicked his tongue and sighed. "It seems we have to give him some motivation. Is he in Paris now? Do we have British agents in Paris who are instigating rebellion?"

Reinhard nodded. "There is one."

"That's just right." Yannick snapped his fingers. "Let him assassinate the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, but he can only kill the lady, and also make the Duke of Windsor think that the British royal family wants to get rid of him secretly. Can our people rescue him? Can he do it?" You must know that the Duke of Windsor has been a child since he was a child. The designated heir to the throne has accumulated prestige and connections for decades; if these resources can be made good use of, it will be a big blow to Britain. "After the operation is successful, we will recruit several young and beautiful female operators from the intelligence department to see if they can seduce the Duke of Windsor."

Mrs. Simpson is a master of love affairs, notorious for her unruly private life. It is said that she learned prostitution from a brothel somewhere. It seems that she has applied what she learned very well. While dating the Duke of Windsor, who was still the Prince of Wales at the time, not only was he not yet divorced from his second husband, Ernest Simpson, but he also had a "secret lover". I wonder if the Prince of Wales didn't know about it at the time. Or do you think it's more interesting?

From a Chinese point of view, she is a despicable and shameless woman with no appearance, no virtue, no talent. I don’t know what the Duke of Windsor likes about Mrs. Simpson.

"Understood, I will arrange it as soon as possible. One more thing, Your Highness, we have learned that Franco will fly to the front line from Madrid at 10 o'clock today, and the ambush team is ready." With the help of Germany and Italy, Franco is It is winning steadily. Last month, it captured Barcelona, ​​the capital of Catalonia, and is preparing to attack Figueres, the last stronghold controlled by government forces. As long as Figueres is captured, the Spanish Civil War will be over.

Yannick glanced at the clock. It was now ten-fifteen, which meant that Franco's plane had already taken off. "Then just wait a while."

The two chatted about music-related topics, from the phonograph invented by Edison in 1877 to the magnetic tape recorder using steel wire as a sound carrier invented by Danish scientists in 1898, to the plastic tape-based recording tape successfully developed in Germany a few years ago. A tape recorder that uses this tape. "Today's recorders are still too bulky, inconvenient to carry, and the price cannot be affordable for ordinary people." He thought of the MP5 that everyone had in elementary school, and then to the smart phones that had become popular in high school, and he couldn't help but sigh that there are still better things. Long way to go. Fortunately, the genius Turing has completed most of his studies and has begun the development of computers. The birth of the first computer must not be far away.

Last time Nikola Tesla came to ask him specifically when a super machine that could perform tens of billions of calculations per second would be built. Yannick could only regretfully tell him that it would be decades later. Seeing Tesla silently turning away, Yannick really wished he could get a supercomputer for his use right away.

Just as his mind was filled with random thoughts, the phone on his desk rang. When he picked up the call, it was the second in command of the intelligence department. Reports say that the transport plane Franco was traveling on has been shot down.

The news quickly spread throughout the world, causing quite a shock. No one expected that General Franco would be killed on the eve of victory, which is really sad.

Because there were no government troops or Soviet air force in the entire Spain, there were only four old-fashioned fighter jets escorting the trip, but they were attacked by eight I-16 fighter jets midway. When the German fighter jets arrived, there was no ghost in the entire airspace, only the wreckage of five aircraft that had been shot down on the ground. The ground troops who arrived later confirmed that no one survived.

As for where these eight I-16 fighter jets came from, it has become an unsolved mystery for later generations. But since it was I-16, the finger of blame was naturally pointed at the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union remained unusually silent, neither admitting nor denying it.

Before the government troops who were huddled in Figueres and lingering had no time to celebrate that the culprit who started the civil war was finally dead, Franco's right-hand man Arias stepped forward and announced that he would inherit the mantle of General Franco. "The unfortunate death of General Franco is a great loss to Spain and our people. Our enemies want to use such despicable means to delay their demise. In my opinion, all this is just a desperate struggle!

In the face of these vicious enemies, we will not shrink back or be afraid. General Franco's spirit inspires us to strengthen our beliefs; we must take over General Franco's flag, complete the great achievements that General Franco has not yet had time to achieve, and we will build a new Spain! "

Because Arias's prestige was second only to Franco, he successfully took over all the troops, turned grief into strength, and conquered Figueres in one fell swoop. The Spanish Civil War ended, more than a year earlier than the original time and space.

Arias then appointed himself as the head of state, banned all other political parties, and declared the Falange the only legal party. He then began to vigorously eliminate the Falange's fascist forces, which greatly angered Mussolini in Italy. Italy sold everything it had to support Franco, and even encouraged the public to donate money to support Franco. For what? It was just to promote his fascist system, but this guy just crossed the river and burned the bridge.

Arias sneered at Mussolini's warning, saying that it was an agreement between Franco and Mussolini, and ignored him, and still threw all the backbones of the fascist forces into prison.

Mussolini was furious, and just as he was about to use force to intimidate, Germany announced the establishment of diplomatic relations with the new Spanish government and signed a series of cooperation agreements. This made Mussolini hesitate. After all, the comparison of the combat effectiveness between Germany and Italy in the Spanish Civil War was obvious to all. The combat effectiveness of Italian soldiers was very poor, while that of German soldiers was extremely strong.

At this time, Germany was like a beast with fangs bared, staring at its prey, and he dared not provoke it easily.

Mussolini was thinking about finding helpers to teach Spain a lesson, but he heard the news that Britain and France successively recognized the Arias government.

Mussolini, who had no other choice, could only swallow his bitterness after venting hysterically.
