Chapter 201: The times call for the hero
Without notice, Cyric came to the army camp of the Northern Army and asked to see General Mora. This surprised General Mora. However, he put down everything and came to greet him immediately.
"General Cyric, you came here to find me, is it related to the shelling of Barcelona?" Entering a conference room, Mora asked Cyric.
Mora is quite shrewd, and a single sentence reveals Cyric's origins.
If the German warship bombed the flagship of the Republican Army, there is still an explanation. After all, they were attacked first, but then they went to Barcelona to shell the shore artillery positions there, then it is really unreasonable. Unless Cyric has more arrangements.
For example, take Barcelona!
Cyric nodded: "Yes, General Mora, General Franco does not support my proposal. His vision is too short. He only focuses on Madrid. He has no overall view at all. I think, You will be able to support me."
At the beginning, at the meeting, Mora fully supported Cyric's views, first knocking down the surrounding territory and completely isolating Madrid.
However, Franco was not moved at all!
Franco was too obsessed with Madrid, in other words, Franco was too obsessed with Spain's national power, so he had no idea of ??the overall situation.
Mora's hand patted the table lightly, of course he knew what Cyric was talking about.
Ignoring Franco's stubbornness, he and Cyric were alone. What would Franco think?
Mora is a heavy general in the army. It can be said that his influence within the army is second only to Franco, and Mora's statement is very important.
"What are you going to do?" After thinking for a long time, Mora did not agree. He wanted to see Cyric's thoughts.
"From here, we will go to Barcelona in a week." Cyric said: "Our armored forces will carry out the main attack. You only need to send the Northern Army to follow up along the way.
From Madrid, one week, to Barcelona! This sentence shocked Mora!
There are more than 600 kilometers from Madrid to Barcelona, ??which means that you have to advance one hundred kilometers every day!
In this era, pushing one hundred kilometers a day is absolutely nonsense! If Mora is allowed to direct himself, it will take half a year to advance to Barcelona!
For Cyric, this plan has been planned for a long time. When the First Armored Division was transferred, it was to train them!
What trained them? Of course it is how to fight. For tank troops, their new tactics must have a stage for rehearsal.
This new set of tactics is the blitzkrieg that Guderian studied with great concentration in the desert! Rely on mechanized equipment to advance quickly!
Spain is mountainous and does not advance as fast as the plains. It is also for these reasons that they have set a goal of one week, 100 kilometers a day, which is already the limit.
This war is a preview of the blitz in Europe!
Moreover, what is more advantageous is that the rear of the Republican Army is quite empty.
Franco's desire for Madrid will not change. Madrid is the main battlefield of the entire Spanish Civil War. The Republican Army also uses Madrid as its main battlefield. All troops are gathering towards Madrid.
In this case, although it seems that the Republican Army still controls a large area of ??Spain, in fact, it is a piece of paper that will be broken with a poke!
And Cyric's armored corps will be like a red iron rod stuffed into cheese, invincible, attacking all the way!
However, in this case, there will be new problems.
Cyric’s armored division has no problems in attack, but lacks enough troops to garrison, and fights all the way through, no problem at all, but what should be done later?
After the fight is over, if the back is blocked, then this lonely and deep army is in danger!
It is precisely because of this that Cyric came to ask General Mora for help. Anyway, his offensive line is in the northern part of Spain. I hope that after his attack, General Mora can send infantry to keep up with his own attack and bring down those who have already attacked. Occupy the city!
This is the purpose of Cyric!
General Mora, will you refuse?
Cyric finished his thoughts and told General Mora that he didn't need him to send troops to attack, he only needed to send people to follow up and garrison, that's all!
Mora, there is no reason to refuse, in this case, he can easily regain half of the country!
"Okay, I promise you, no matter where you attack, we will follow closely!" Mora said: "We also look forward to returning to Barcelona in the early days."
Barcelona is of great significance to Spain. It is Spain's second largest city and also the largest port. If it is established here, it will deal a heavy blow to Madrid's morale~www.novelhall.com~ and it will also cut off Madrid's foreign aid!
For Spain, it is worth a try!
"Then from tomorrow, we will officially start the offensive." Cyric said: "I hope you don't let us down."
Mora nodded, once he promised, he would never break his promise.
Sitting in the returning car, Lieutenant Colonel Richthofen, the staff officer on the side, asked Cyrek: "General, why don't we find General Jose?"
The relationship between Jose and the German Army has always been good.
Cyric shook his head: "In the last meeting, Jose was on both sides. If we find Jose, he will definitely turn his head and tell Franco."
Jose can't trust Mora to have this courage.
For more reasons, Cyric did not say that when this operation is over, General Mora, who has regained half of the country, will have more auras on his head, and his reputation will even surpass Franco. At that time, Franco Brother definitely has to do things.
Force Franco to take action, save Mora, provoke the conflict between Mora and Franco, and then profit from it!
And Jose will also play an important role in it!
It seems too gloomy to do it myself, and there is no way. In this world, the hero can succeed, and a foolish man like Xiang Yu can only have the last laugh for a villain like Liu Bang after a short life!
Back at the base, the First Armored Division has made the final mobilization.
After coming from Germany, they have been resting, and now, the whole division is in the best condition! Every one of them is eager to fight!
"The time to test us has come." At the oath meeting before departure, Cyric looked at the energetic fighters below, and was also very energetic: "Now, let us use a brilliant victory to give our Adolf Hitler. The flag of the Guards Panzer Division wins glory!"
