Chapter 187 Battle Meeting

"Lieutenant Colonel Richthofen?" In the headquarters of the base camp, Major General Jose saw Richthofen and was stunned: "Where is General Cyric? Why didn't he come?"

Mora, the commander of the northern army, Liano, the commander of the southern army, and General Roata of Italy, all arrived, but Cyric did not.

"General Cyric is not feeling well." Lieutenant Colonel Richthofen said, "He sent me here on purpose, and if he has any instructions, I will convey it to General Cyric."

Didn't come? Franco, who was presiding over the meeting, immediately looked over: "How about I send a doctor to check on General Cyric? He can't be okay, he is our pillar."

"It's okay, he was just tired from the journey, and we also have our own military doctor." Richthofen said.

Franco looked back: "Then let's start the meeting now."

Attacking Madrid, it is a difficult task.

When the incident had just started, we had already advanced to Madrid by relying on a quick-fix plan, but unfortunately it failed.

But now, with the continuous extension of the war, Madrid has been prepared for a long time. Now Madrid has a large number of troops, including the Republican Army, the international column, and the militia organized by the citizens of Madrid, including women.

They set up three lines of defense on the outskirts of Madrid, just waiting for the arrival of the rebels.

How to attack?

Franco had been prepared for a long time, spitting on the stars, and talking about his plan.

In fact, there is no particularly good plan for the whole plan. It is to rely on superior troops to advance, advance, and advance again, from the north, the west, and the south, to advance into Madrid in one go.

Looking at the plan, Lieutenant Colonel Richthofen said nothing.

"By the way, in the last battle of Badajoz, the tank soldiers of the Condor Legion, one charge, knocked down the international column." After finishing all the plans, Franco turned his eyes to the inside. Lieutenant Colonel Hithofen: "This time against Madrid, if the tank soldiers of the Condor Legion continue to charge at the forefront, we will be able to resolve the battle quickly."

"I will pass on your words to General Cyric," Richthofen said.

"Also, please ask the fighter planes of the Condor Legion to seize air supremacy over Madrid and bombard the enemy's targets in large numbers. In this way, we will reduce a lot of casualties." Franco continued.

"Okay, I'll pass it on to General Cyric," Richthofen continued.

Franco's brows trembled, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't continue.

"Do you want us to do our best to help?" When Richthofen returned to the base, saw Cyric, and told Cyric about the content of this meeting, Cyric sneered.

Even if the shares of a mine are not willing to give up to Germany, what sincerity do they still have? Germany can't do anything about cultivating white-eyed wolves!

"Then, we can't refuse them, can we?" said Lieutenant Colonel Richthofen.

In terms of handling personnel, Richthofen is very shrewd. He was afraid that a straight-line soldier like Cyric would refuse staunchly, and said quickly.

"Of course not." Cyric said: "Our tanks and planes use water-cooled engines. If the weather is cold and the engines are frozen, I will lose my temper."

Water cold!

The diesel engine of the Panther 2 tank and the DB601 engine of the BF109 are all water-cooled! Maintaining these engines in cold weather is quite complicated.

For example, you must remember to put water every day, otherwise, once the water in the engine freezes into ice, it will damage the engine, and starting every morning is also extremely cumbersome, you need to use boiling water to water the engine in advance.

Now is the time when the weather is about to turn cold!

"Okay, I see," said Lieutenant Colonel Richthofen.

In terms of slickness, who has the slickness of Chinese people in later generations? In the officialdom of China, there are definitely old fried dough sticks, a cultural tradition of thousands of years.

Of course, now I have to agree, and now I have to agree very happily, okay, no problem, our Condor Legion, that is the most determined and most combative force, just wait, when the time comes, we will definitely rush at the front.

Until that day, what? Chain off? There's no way, it's all caused by the weather. Who would have thought that after one night, the temperature would drop below zero?

The engine is broken, and now, we have to wait for the spare parts from Berlin before we can repair it! I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in this battle!

Cyric is not a straight-line soldier, and if he wants to achieve success, he is definitely not a brave guy like Xiang Yu, but a rogue like Liu Bang.

Play smart with yourself? Franco, just wait! Anyway, I came to help out. If I didn't help out, I can't blame me.

In fact, Cyric had already planned all this.

Historically, the battle against Madrid was not smooth. Before and after, Franco fought four times, and it took him 39 years to be considered a complete success. That was because of the civil strife in Madrid.

And now, with the addition of Cyric, if Cyric wants to, it can be a quick solution. For example, with his own armored troops as the lead, under the bombardment of a large number of fighter planes, he can break through the opponent's defense line and hit the city all the way. go.

But what good would that do for Germany? Once Madrid is captured, Franco will no longer have the possibility to rely on Germany. At that time, it is uncertain how many moths there will be.

They must suffer a failure!

Why did Germany enter the Spanish Civil War? Of course for profit! For the benefit of Germany!

Cyric had planned all this for a long time, and this winter will be spent without any worries.

Just when Lieutenant Colonel Richthofen was about to go out, he suddenly stopped, he looked at Cyric, and said, "General, this should be your first time in Spain. Winters are warm, not really cold enough to freeze."

Suddenly, Cyric was taken aback. He just remembered, really, it's already October, and it doesn't seem to be that cold? This is not Moscow.

"Then find another excuse." Cyric waved his hand helplessly, don't let yourself worry about this trivial matter, you are really unqualified as a staff officer!

While Cyric was spending his time safely in his warm room, outside, a man was trudging hard. He took off his clothes, raised his hands over his head, and swam past Manzanare. Rivers.

After swimming across the river, he sat on the bank, panting heavily, and before he put on his clothes, he heard the sound of pulling the bolt behind him: "Put your hand up, what are you doing? of?"
