Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2096 The Genius Pilot

Although Spain did not participate in the World War, Marshal David Sanchez has been a soldier all his life, and he still knows the combat effectiveness of the southern African army very well.

The crux of the problem is that Marshal David Sanchez is an old soldier from the imperial era and is not trusted by the Republican government, so the only voice of reason within the Republican government has also been ignored.

On June 6, Spain tore up the agreement again and stopped purchasing weapons and equipment from southern Africa.

The news spread back to southern Africa, and the pilots and tankers who were being trained in southern Africa were in an uproar.

The Nyazaran military industry is preparing to deliver the first batch of 50 "Crown Eagles" to the Spanish Republican government.

Twenty "Biao Cavalry" tanks have even been loaded at Walvis Bay and are ready to be sent to mainland Spain.

This is all paid for.

Although the Spanish Republican government tore up the agreement, it required Nyasaland Heavy Industries to deliver the weapons and equipment that had already been paid for.

Nyasaran Heavy Industries is welcome. Since the Spanish Republican government took the initiative to tear up the agreement, the purchase agreement will be invalidated. Delivery is impossible. Even the "Biao Cavalry" who had already been shipped was called back by a telegram.

Nyasaran Heavy Industries was originally worried that the delivery of the "Biao Cavalry" to the Spanish Republican government would cause some technology leakage.

Well now, this worry finally doesn't exist.

With the relationship between Russia and the Spanish Republican government, the "Biao Cavalry" was delivered to the Spanish Republican government, and the "Biao Cavalry" has no secrets for Russia. This will make the Russians who have always wanted to improve tank technology ecstatic.

As far as the combat effectiveness of the People's Guard is concerned, Nyasaland Heavy Industries also has reason to doubt that even if it is equipped with the "Biao Cavalry", the People's Guard may not be able to defeat the Falangists and the German-Italian Intervention Army. At that time, the technology of the "Biao Cavalry" will also be leaked For Germans and Italians.

Russia is fine.

Germany and Italy are the direct opponents of the future Southern African National Defense Forces.

It was also a thunderbolt for the Spanish pilots and tankers who were training in southern Africa.

These Spanish pilots and tankers have received up to three months of related training in southern Africa.

Pilots and tankers are already very familiar with the "Crown Eagle" and "Biao Cavalry", and they know that the "Crown Eagle" and "Biao Cavalry" are more powerful than the NID-52 fighters and Renault previously equipped by Spain. Level, although the pilots and tankers have not been in contact with the Yi-16 and T26, but the Russians can even provide pilots and tankers, and they have no chance of contacting the Yi-16 and T26.

"So, even if we go back to Spain, what we have learned in the past few months will be useless. Maybe the Republican government will give each of us a rifle and let us go bayonet against the Falangists—" Sergio Rodri was bitter. After just half a month of training, he obtained the qualification to fly independently.

Even in the Southern African Air Force, this rate of learning is genius.

Now Sergio Rodri is no less familiar with the performance of the "Crown Eagle" than some southern African instructors. In a confrontation exercise a few days ago, Sergio Rodri drove the "Crown Eagle" , directly shot down the "Crown Eagle" driven by the instructor, and became a myth in the training camp.

Those who can be instructors must be experienced pilots who have participated in world wars and have a record of shooting down.

Sergio Rodri can learn to this level in such a short period of time, which fully proves Sergio Rodri's talent.

The better the talent, the more disappointed with the decisions of the Republican government.

There is no precedent for using pilots as light infantry.

"Is our Mr. Prime Minister crazy? How can the combat effectiveness of the T26 be comparable to that of the 'Cavalry'? According to the standards of southern Africa, the T26 is at most an armored vehicle. I don't want to go to the battlefield with a coffin box." Tank Brigade Commander Diego Lieutenant Colonel Olmer was equally disappointed.

Pilots only need to learn flying skills, while tankers have to learn tank tactics in addition to driving tanks.

Diego Olmer was born in a military academy and just turned 30 this year. He was selected by the Republican government to come to southern Africa to learn tank technology. Diego Olmer is naturally very good.

Like Rodri, the better he is, the more disappointed he is with the Spanish Republican government.

"We should jointly send a telegram to Madrid, asking Madrid to reconsider the arms purchase agreement with Southern Africa." Major General Mikel Alva, who led the team to Southern Africa, has to do something. He is still waiting to return to Spain to kill all sides Well, I don't want to be marginalized right now.

"It's useless. The rebels are approaching Madrid. The fifth column is ready to move. We have been forgotten by Madrid." Rodri looked disappointed. These pilots and tankers might not even have the chance to return to Spain.

After all, the ticket to return to Spain also requires money.

Now that the Republican government has canceled the order, it means that these pilots and tankers have lost their value.

The Falangists and the German-Italian Intervention Army are attacking Madrid in four directions. A few days ago, the rebel general Llano announced in an interview with the media that in addition to the four-way column, there is also a fifth column in Madrid, ready to cooperate with the nationals at any time. military action.

So the fifth column became synonymous with rebels and spies.

"So what should we do, Madrid, will you still pay for us?" Lieutenant Colonel Olmer was more worried.

Spanish pilots and tankers were trained at a military base near Los Angeles.

As we all know, people in Los Angeles have high incomes and higher consumption. The living expenses of pilots and tankers were all paid by the Spanish Republican government.

Now that the Spanish Republican government has canceled the agreement, it is hard to say whether it will continue to pay the living expenses of the pilots and tankers.

"I have received a telegram from Madrid, and Madrid requires us to return to the mainland as soon as possible—" Major General Alva looked confused, what can they do when they return to Spain?
Are you really going to fight the bayonets with the Falangists?

Rodri and Olmer looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.

As the best pilots and armored force commanders, Rodri and Olmer are deeply loved by the instructors. In the process of contacting the instructors, more than one instructor has expressed their intention to recruit Rodri and Olmer.

The solicitation here is definitely not to serve a private company, but to serve the Southern African federal government. As long as Rodri and Olmer agree, they can directly join the Southern African National Defense Force and become a real southern African.

In the past, Rodri and Olmer had always been obsessed with returning to Spain and serving the Republican government to win the civil war.

Now that the Republican government no longer needs them, what to do next needs to be carefully weighed.

"What do you think?" Major General Alva asked Rodri and Olmer for their opinions.

Rodri and Olmer said nothing. It doesn't matter what they think, the key is the choice of the Republican government.

"I know that someone has approached you, hoping that you will betray the Republican government. To be honest, someone has also approached me, but I did not agree—" Major General Alva smiled bitterly, and Rodri and Olmer's silence had already given their answers .

"Major General, I don't understand one thing. The Russian Yi-16 is definitely not as good as the 'Crown Eagle' in southern Africa. Why did Madrid tear up the order?" Rodri was puzzled. The "Crown Eagle" was about to be delivered. It doesn't make sense.

"This Yi-16 has nothing to do with the performance of the crown eagle. It's more about political considerations—" Major General Alva couldn't explain clearly. It would be great if things were really that simple.

"Russians are free, and there must be more interest demands behind it. Don't the gentlemen in Madrid understand such a simple truth?" Olmer was filled with grief and indignation. From his perspective, every Russian and Communist International good stuff.

With an area of ​​50 square kilometers, Spain is the sixth largest country in Europe.

The attitude of the Comintern is very clear, hoping that Spain will become the second socialist country in Europe, so that the influence of the Comintern will be greatly increased.

Russia's attitude is more clear, and it wants to use Spain to break the blockade of Britain and France and expand its sphere of influence to the Mediterranean and Atlantic Oceans. It would be even better if it can break the League of Nations' control of the Dardanelles by the way.

Therefore, even if the Spanish Republican government wins the civil war, it is hard to say who will call the shots in Spain.

No matter how hateful the Falange is, they are still Spaniards after all.

Major General Alva finally had nothing to say.

When he returned to his dormitory at night, Rodri tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

The dormitory is a single apartment provided by the Ministry of National Defense of Nyasaland. It has a kitchen, a bathroom, a bedroom and a living room, with a total area of ​​about 60 square meters.

There is no such thing as a shared house in southern Africa. The house is 60 square meters, but the real price is 60 square meters. It is very spacious for one person.

knock knock --

Someone knocked lightly on the door.

Rodri opened the door, and outside the door was Rodri's instructor Thomas.

"Good evening—" Rodri and Thomas had a good relationship.

"You haven't slept yet, I'm here to chat with you—" Thomas held the roast chicken in one hand and a bundle of beer in the other.

Rodri went to the kitchen to find another plate of peanuts, and the two drank directly in the living room.

After drinking for three rounds, Thomas finally got down to business: "What do you think?"

"What do you think?" Rodri still pretended to be stupid.

Thomas smiled and looked at Rodri without speaking.

"To be honest, I'm also very confused. I don't know why this happened—" Rodri looked depressed.

"Please forgive my directness. The republican government is over. Now that you return to Spain, you can only be buried with the republican government." Thomas said directly, he really couldn't bear to watch Rodri return to Spain to die.

"I don't know either—" Rodri lowered his head in pain, covering his face with his hands.

"Stay here. Even if you want to join the Air Force, you can go to the flying club to find a job. The salary is quite high." Thomas knew what Rodri was worried about.

The decision to directly join the Southern African Defense Force was not an easy one for Rodri.

"My family is still in Madrid—" Rodri's attitude was loose.

"I'll do my best, but you know, Madrid is already a war zone—" Thomas wasn't sure if he could bring Rodri's family to southern Africa.
