Chapter 2088 A worthy heir
The tank that Germany sold to the Falange was not the final version of the Panzer I, but the original version.

This version of the No. 5.4 tank has a total combat weight of only 7.92 tons and is armed with two 13mm MG[-] machine guns. It does not even have a cannon, and its data is inferior to the "Alligator" armored vehicle in southern Africa.

The caliber of the "Alligator" machine gun is still 12.7 mm.

The "Biao Cavalry" has a total combat weight of 17 tons. It is armed with a 50mm tank gun, a 7.7mm coaxial machine gun, and a 12.7mm dual-purpose machine gun. The combat effectiveness is more than one higher than the original version of the No. [-] tank. grade.

Clavi Calderon was very satisfied with the various data of the "Biao Cavalry", and placed an order to buy 150 vehicles on the spot.

150 "Biao Cavalry" are enough to form an overwhelming advantage over the No. [-] tank of the Falange Party.

In terms of aircraft, Clavi Calderon chose the "Crown Eagle".

The "Crown Eagle" is also an export version developed by Nyasaran Air for the French order.

It's a pity that the French didn't take a fancy to the "Crown Eagle". The engineers of Nyasaran Aviation were busy, and now they just sell it to the Spaniards.

The performance of the "Crown Eagle" is actually good. Although it cannot be compared with the main fighter jets in active service in the Southern African Aviation Force, it still has certain advantages compared with the fighter jets in active service in European countries.

"Crown Eagle" has an empty weight of 2.7 tons, a wingspan of 12.6 meters, a maximum take-off weight of 10000 tons, a practical ceiling of 800 meters, and a maximum range of [-] kilometers. All data perfectly meet the requirements of the Spanish Republican government.

Spain's land area is 505925 square kilometers, about 830 kilometers from the northernmost point to the southernmost point, and the longest east-west direction is 1000 kilometers. The combat radius of the "Crown Eagle" is enough to cover the entire territory of Spain.

The French look down on the "Crown Eagle" because the French can produce fighter jets. Although the performance of the French fighter jets is not as good as the "Crown Eagle", the proud French will not easily compromise.

Spain can also produce aircraft, but not fighter jets. The overall performance of the "Crown Eagle" is similar to that of the "Hurricane" that was just tested in the UK, which made Clavi Calderon ecstatic.

Regardless of the standards of southern African weapons and equipment, British weapons and equipment are all kinds of dishes.

In other countries, most of them are not even as good as the UK.

Think about the "cockfighting" that the British Air Force doesn't like. The Japanese are all treasures, and they can understand Clavi Calderon's mood.

Clavi Calderon's order for the "Crown Eagle" is 200.

This is just the first order.

Including the "Cavalry", if they perform well in the Spanish Civil War, the Spanish Republican government will continue to add orders.

In addition to purchasing weapons and equipment, Clavi Calderon is most concerned about the umbrella.

Spaniards are richer than Abyssinians.

The Abyssinians could not afford to hire too many mercenaries from the Umbrella Company. After Lu Shao proposed to send mercenaries to fight in Spain in the name of the International Column, Clavi Calderon gave 1 taels without hesitation. Thousands of combat places.

1 mercenaries, according to the standards of the umbrella company, the Spanish Republican government has to pay more than 150 million rand per month.

If the mercenary is killed or disabled during the Spanish battle, the pension will be calculated separately.

Expensive is indeed expensive.

But the combat effectiveness of Umbrella Company mercenaries is also well known.

1 people, according to the establishment of the Spanish army is a division.

With the promise of Clavi Calderon, the umbrella company acted quickly, and the selection criteria were as white as possible. Chinese mercenaries and African mercenaries could only be selected unless the conditions were particularly good.

On the second day after Clavi Calderon and the Southern African Consortium signed an arms purchase agreement, Alvin, who was serving in the Indian Ocean Fleet, suddenly returned to Pretoria, hoping to go to Spain to join the war with the umbrella company.

Alvin's official position in the Indian Ocean Fleet is the Colonel's Staff Officer, Headquarters Operations Division.

This is an enviable position, with easy work, good remuneration, and fast promotion. Alvin was promoted to colonel at the age of less than 28, which is enough to prove how fast the promotion of this position is.

If there are no accidents, in two years, Alvin will become the youngest general of the Indian Ocean Fleet.

Rock knows Alvin. Alvin's personality is different from Gavin who is obsessed with scientific research. He is unwilling to be lonely and hates a step-by-step life. From this perspective, Alvin's personality is more similar to Rock.

The Spanish Civil War is considered to be the prelude to the Second World War. The battle was extremely fierce. The total number of international columns in another time and space was as high as 3.5. In the end, less than 3 people withdrew from Spain. Rock did not want Alvin to go to Spain. adventure.

Phyllis didn't even want to.

An Jing is now pregnant and is raising a baby in Pretoria. Alvin has an impulsive personality. If something happens in Spain, his mother and father will not have to live.

"I'm an active-duty colonel in the Indian Ocean Fleet. I'm still a high-ranking officer if I go to the umbrella. It's impossible to charge into battle, so don't worry about my safety." Alvin said nicely. He still has a title on him, even if he is captured by the Falange , you can also get captive treatment that matches your status.

It doesn't matter if you don't give it.

Then the Falange would have to brace themselves for reprisals from southern Africa.

To put it bluntly, if Alvin died in battle in Spain, the Spanish Republican government would not need to pay the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company to kill all the Falange.

"The situation on the battlefield is complicated, and the soldiers are fierce and dangerous. It's not as simple as you imagine." Phyllis firmly disagrees. Even if Alvin will not be on the front line, Phyllis will not allow Alvin to take risks in Spain.

"So what? The mercenaries of the Umbrella Company are also southern Africans. They can go to Spain to fight, and so can I. Didn't my father also go to the European battlefield to fight in the last World War?" Alvin also knew Talking about Roque made Phyllis even more dissatisfied.

"Then you should always remember how worried all of us were when your father was fighting in Europe." Phyllis was patient. Roque's participation in the world war was a just battle, and Alvin went to Spain with his umbrella as a war. Hyena, how does this compare.

Seeing that he couldn't convince Phyllis, Alvin asked Rock for help.

Rock didn't speak, and he didn't want Alvin to go to Spain either.

If southern Africa is invaded, Rock will not hesitate to send Alvin to the battlefield.

If the enemy hits Nyasaland, Gavin will also leave his beloved laboratory and take up arms to defend Nyasaland.

The Spanish Civil War had nothing to do with Southern Africa after all.

Rock hopes to test the quality of southern African weapons in the Spanish Civil War, and by the way, to verify the combat effectiveness of the Spanish Falange Party with the support of Germany and Italy.

Including the orders from the Spanish Republican government, while bringing orders to the southern African military industry, it can also maintain the military industrial capabilities of southern Africa by the way, preparing for the next world war.

All of this is nothing compared to Alvin's safety.

But deep down in his heart, Rock didn't want to prevent Alvin from going to Spain.

Don't forget the "courage" and "justice" advocated by the Federal Government of Southern Africa.

In the Spanish Civil War, the Republican government was definitely on the side of justice.

Rock's positioning for southern Africa, if it has always been a safe corner, then southern Africa can completely reap the benefits of fishing like the United States, and how good it is to make money by selling arms at both ends.

Roque's positioning for southern Africa is the future world leader.

This requires a leadership mindset for countless Southern Africans.

Especially for Alvin and others who are destined to play an important role in the future of southern Africa.

Although Gavin is the first heir to the Marquis of Nyasaland.

But in Rock's heart, Alvin is more likely to lead the future of southern Africa forward.

Gavin is also good, with a stable personality, peace-loving, kind and generous, and paying attention to people's livelihood.

But that's not enough to lead Southern Africa onwards, to higher mountains.

"Alvin, if you go to Spain, then you have to be prepared to die in Spain—" Roque thinks differently, if Roque is Alvin, then Roque will do the same.

Most of the delicate flowers grown in the greenhouse cannot face the harsh natural environment.

Rock started fighting the Boers when he was 20 years old.

It is the kind of combat that really leads the troops and launches a desperate charge against the enemy's position.

"Lock!" Phyllis called Rock by his full name, usually only when Phyllis was very angry.

"Yes, I have made all the preparations." Alvin's expression was calm, and it was Alvin's decision to go to Spain to join the war after calm thinking.

When the last world war broke out, Alvin was not yet an adult and had no chance to fight in Europe. This has always made Alvin regret it.

Going to the Indian Ocean Fleet, Alvin thought he would have a chance to join the war, but he had been firmly locked in the operations department of the headquarters, and he never had the chance to go to the front line.

Alvin's idol is Rock, and he hopes to lead thousands of troops like Rock and open up a new situation for southern Africa.

After the situation in Spain deteriorated, the Indian Ocean Fleet also carried out many internal deduction, and the final conclusion was what Alvin wanted to see most.

Since the Spanish Civil War was the prelude to the Second World War.

Then, when Alvin returns from Spain, he can logically command the Southern African National Defense Forces and, like his father, make contributions in the upcoming world war.

"Go and say goodbye to your wife, before you go to Spain, you have to care more about your wife—" Now that Rock has made this decision, there is still a lot of work to be done.

The mercenaries of the umbrella company are powerful, but in the eyes of the Southern African Defense Forces, they are not enough.

Among other things, the weapons and equipment are only one level behind.

Therefore, the Southern African Federal Government's emphasis on the Spanish Civil War immediately raised a level.
