The Second Republic was stunned. They never expected that things would be like this. What was the wave of the promised wave? What about the promised victory?

Faced with the strict defense of the National Army, the Republican Army performed poorly as usual, and could even be said to be ridiculous. The chaotic and disorganized attacks coupled with intermittent brain destruction and internal strife made the Republican Army almost become a clown. Moreover, this clown could not receive any applause, and the only thing he could receive was ridicule from the whole world.

Faced with the ridicule of the whole world, the Second Republic suddenly became angry and threw all the reserve teams in one breath regardless of the situation. It was a desperate bet. However, the result of such gambling was not good. The reserve team invested was like a meat bun to beat a dog. Not only did it fail to break through the defense line of the National Army, but it made the already congested and chaotic battlefield even more unbearable.

Three days later, the anarchists were the first to give up the lead. The chain reaction caused the Republican front to collapse completely, but was taken away by Guderian in a wave of trouble. The scene was like a mountain of defeat!

The great defeat of the Republican army led to another wide open door of Madrid. When the following National Army took over the city of Real effortlessly, the Second Republic began to shout again: "Defend the revolution! Defend the great Madrid!"

They had actively planned how to completely win the Civil War, and began to think of ways for the Second Madrid Defense War and once again issued a nationwide order to defend the king. Of course, these were useless, even the Second Republic was very clear that the only one who could stop the National Army was the International Column.

But this made them very embarrassed. A few days ago, they were shouting for disbanding the International Column. Who would have thought that they would hold their thighs and shout help in the blink of an eye. How can they step down?

If you can't get out of Taiwan, you have to get out of here. The Second Republic soon came up with a solution, and did not talk to Tukhachevsky, but instead directly asked the Communist International for help, asking the Communist International to give orders to Tukhachevsky.

"Hmph, a bunch of waste, I remembered that we are here at this time. What have you been going?" Tukhachevsky sneered and threw the telegram from the Communist International aside. His attitude was not ready to be implemented.

Gamalnik's brow moved slightly and advised: "It may be inappropriate to disobey the command of the Communist International."

Tukhachevsky glanced at him and sneered: "Of course we cannot obey such blind command!"

As he said that, he ordered Khalepsky: "Call back to the Communist International: There is no point in defending Madrid. Our army's only target is Cadiz!"

Yes, Tukhachevsky has no interest in Madrid since the beginning. So what if Franco now occupy Madrid? Besides a little political influence, there are too many substantial benefits?

Tukhachevsky believes that the key to the victory of the Spanish Civil War has always been by the sea. Whoever can control the coastline can laugh at the end. And in this battle, he was very clear-headed that the National Army had always fought against the Republican Army. The German Volunteer Army has been holding its troops, so why didn't the Germans take action?

In Tukhachevsky's opinion, there is only one reason. The Germans thought the same as he was, and that was to force him to go to reinforcements by putting pressure on Madrid. Once he was transferred, the Germans would quickly capture ports such as Malaga, Almeria, and that would be bad at that time.

So no matter what Cordoba is like, no matter whether the city of Real was occupied by the National Army again, Tukhachevsky ignored it, just stared at the movements of the Germans. The less the Germans moved, the more they proved that his inference was correct.

And now, when the National Army is about to move closer to Madrid again, the Germans are still staying in Cadiz to make a fuss. Is it clear what this means?

"But we can't really ignore Madrid and the Second Republic, right? Once Madrid falls, they will put all the blame on us, and it will be difficult to explain the country at that time!" Gamarnik reminded.

Tukhachevsky knew the situation in China very well. Stalin didn't like him very much and tried every means to solve him. Once he made a "major mistake", the eighteen levels of hell would be waiting for him.

Tukhachevsky nodded slowly: "I know, I'm just waiting for an opportunity!"

What opportunity is Tukhachevsky waiting for? He is waiting for the National Army to go north completely. After all, the international column has limited troops and it is impossible to deal with the National Army and the German Volunteer Army at the same time. Now the National Army has gone north, which is a good opportunity. As long as the distance between them is large enough, Tukhachevsky will attack decisively and compete with the Germans!

In fact, Guderian also realized this. In addition to putting pressure on Madrid to see if the international column could be transferred away, the more important thing was to lure the enemy. Because Guderian knew very well that Tukhachevsky's level was very high, and it was probably unrealistic to force Madrid to submit, so he made a bait and let the National Army go north to act like a division of troops, just to lure Tukhachevsky to attack. In fact, the main force of the National Army did not go north completely, but stayed at a suitable distance. Once Tukhachevsky was deceived, the National Army would immediately encircle and attack from the flank.

So what choice would Tukhachevsky make? Two days later, Tukhachevsky decisively issued an order - attack!

The vanguard troops led by Halepsky marched directly towards Seville, preparing to capture this crucial city in one fell swoop.

Some comrades may ask, why do you have to fight Sevilla to the north of Cadiz? Why don’t you take Cadiz directly along the coastal road? Isn’t the latter more direct, can you directly attack Huanglong?

That's true, but there is a problem. If you want to go straight to Cadiz along the coastal highway, you will inevitably have to pass Gibraltar. This important fortress is now under the control of the British. After attacking Cadiz from here, the British are likely to be tricky. If they don't do it well, the British will come to the international column's supply route and deliberately set up obstacles to get stuck on your neck.

If this scene really happened, Tukhachevsky would have no choice but to do anything. Because the Politburo would not allow him to have conflicts with the British. At that time, he could only stare at him. In other words, there would be Guderian's enemy troops in front and British people behind him. How could he be defeated?

Tukhachevsky didn't want to be stabbed by the UK, so he simply gave up the shortcut and turned to a circle from Seville. Although it was a little troublesome, he won the victory in safety!

Two days later, when Guderian learned that Harepski was starting to attack Sevilla with the main force of the International Column, he jumped up with joy. He was waiting for this opportunity. From the beginning, his goal was Malaga. As long as the International Column left Malaga, he could take advantage of the opportunity.

Unlike Tukhachevsky's prudence, Guderian was not worried about the British's problems at all. The country had told him that the British government had reached an agreement with them on the issue of repairing Russia, so he would be willing to pass by Gibraltar with confidence and boldly without any problems! The British might even give his troops some convenience.

What kind of convenience? When the Germans arrived in Gibraltar, the British supported a considerable amount of supplies, including food, medicine and oil, which effectively ensured that Guderian made rapid progress!

Guderian occupied Fongirola on the Costa del Sol almost effortlessly, and Malaga was almost at hand. When he thought of an empty city waiting for him to occupy, Guderian couldn't help but feel excited.

Once Malaga is occupied, it is equivalent to cutting off the retreat of the international column. As the National Army in the north moves south quickly, it can fight a beautiful annihilation battle between Malaga and Sevilla in one breath. As long as the international column is eliminated, the Republican Army is just a dish!

After Guderian raised his telescope and looked at Malaga in the distance, he waved his hand vigorously: "Go forward!"

Suddenly, the roar of the engine sounded, and more than 30 No. 1 tanks rushed towards Malaga with great confidence. Almost all the tankers believed that what they would be greeted would be a suspense-free victory!

So is this the truth? Or, is Tukhachevsky really fooled?

Later history tells us that Tukhachevsky is worthy of being the Red Napoleon. In this battle, his deception methods were no less than those of the French emperors before the Battle of the Three Emperors (Battle of Austerlitz). From the very beginning, Tukhachevsky saw through Guderian's wishful thinking. He knew very well that as long as his main force left Malaga, Guderian would immediately go to Malaga along the coastal road.

So he was using his tricks at that time. Aren’t you Guderian waiting for my main force to leave? Then I will show you. During the day, the International Column advanced towards Sevilla with great fanfare, and at night, it sneaked back. According to Tukhachevsky’s requirements, the convoy and armored forces were not allowed to turn on the lights. Once the enemy planes were found to be reconnaissance, they immediately turned on the spot and acted as if they were to advance towards Sevilla.

The aerial reconnaissance at that time was not as sharp as the satellites of later generations, so naturally they could not find the tricks played by the International Column. According to their calculations, it was estimated that Guderian was fooled when the main forces of the International Column had all arrived near Seville.

So Malaga was not an empty city at this time. Except for the two brigades of Khalepsky who were feinting Seville in the north, the main force of the international column actually gathered in Malaga, and it was waiting for the Germans to take the bait.

Of course, acting has to be a full set. When Guderian just launched an attack, the International Column pretended to be panicked and retreated in a very embarrassing manner, dispelling Guderian's last bit of vigilance and luring the Germans into the trap little by little.

So when Guderian stepped into the city of Malaga with confidence and boldness, the situation suddenly changed suddenly. Tukhachevsky, who had been preparing for a long time, led the armored cluster to break into Guderian's rear, completely cutting off his retreat. Then the main force hidden in Malaga City also immediately began a full-scale counterattack. These two iron fists beat the Germans to a bruised face and almost unable to take care of themselves. The more than 30 tanks that were showing off their power soon turned into piles of burning steel garbage under the joint strangulation of the air and ground. If Guderian had not tightened the defense line in time and stabilized the front line, these three axes alone could have completely destroyed the German volunteer army!

This major change immediately shocked the whole world. Before, when the German volunteers suddenly came to the city, Germany, Italy, Britain and France were all very proud, and they were gloating and watching the show, waiting to see the Soviet Union make a fool of themselves. Who would have thought that a sudden turn of magic occurred after 48 hours. When the German volunteers were surrounded by groups in an open area of ​​only five kilometers, Hitler was stunned.

"Contact the Soviet government immediately and let them release the illegally surrounded German citizens. It is best to let the British and French governments put pressure on the Soviet Union and let them release people immediately!"

It can be seen that Xiaomoustache is really anxious. She shouted out some illegal siege. What other reason can she say in a war? It's just a joke.

However, the Politburo has different opinions on this. For example, Stalin believed: "This is an opportunity. We can completely use this opportunity to restore normal relations with Germany and Italy. Comrade Tukhachevsky should be told to surround the enemy as much as possible, but do not rush to annihilate..."

Before Steel finished speaking, Trotsky mocked him back: "Speak lightly. According to aerial reconnaissance, the National Army is moving south quickly. Please pay attention to Comrade Stalin. The only force we stayed in the north to block the enemy is only Comrade Halepsky's two brigades. How long can this force last? What if the enemy rushed over and cooperated inside and outside?"

Speaking of this, Trotsky slapped the table heavily and said with great momentum: "My opinion is to annihilate this German bandit immediately. Eliminating them means that the overall situation in Spain is decided! We don't have to negotiate with the enemy at all!"

"Nonsense!" Stalin was also anxious, "Even if the Germans can be annihilated and the Spanish civil war can be quickly ended, this can lead to the two imperialist groups joining together to block and encircle us, and the revolution will still fail at that time!"

Trotsky sneered: "How do I remember Comrade Stalin a few days ago that Germany, Italy, Japan and Britain and France are not the same, why did he suddenly change his argument today?"

Stalin's face turned red and he insisted on answering, "One time and another time! How can he generalize it?"

Trotsky criticized bluntly: "I think you are just lucky in Germany and underestimated the cruelty of these fascist bandits! I firmly believe that this enemy should be eliminated as soon as possible!"

Stalin stood up suddenly, his neck became thick and he shouted: "I firmly object to it!"

When Stalin said this, he was angry, but he was quite sure. He thought that as long as Sverdlov stood in the same trench with him, Trotsky would not be able to make a comeback. However, when the result came out, Stalin was shocked. Because the result was six to two, Trotsky won the complete victory.

In addition to Kalinin and Stalin's firm opposition, including Sverdlov, Luzutak agreed with Trotsky's opinion. In Li Xiaofeng's words: "Stalin's mind was in trouble, and the war was fought to this point. Why did he let go because of the Germans' words? He wanted to beat the Nazis hard and let them know the power of the Soviet Union. We not only want to surround them, but also resolutely eliminate them. There is nothing to discuss about this!"

At a later meeting, Li Xiaofeng insisted toughly: "The Red Navy should be transferred to the Sunshine Coast immediately. On the one hand, it should prevent Germany, Italy, Britain and France from using the ocean to make trouble and prevent the Germans from retreating from the sea. On the other hand, the Red Navy should directly shell out the German devils in the encirclement and cooperate with the land forces to eliminate them!"

"Isn't this directly interfering in Spain's internal affairs?" Stalin yelled angrily.

Li Xiaofeng replied in a confrontation: "We have been directly interfering in Spain's internal affairs for a long time, but we have not broken this layer of window paper. Now, when we are about to win the final victory, this layer of window paper is nothing!"

This time, the opposition to Stalin took the upper hand. Soon Kuznetsov gathered together again and drove to the Sunshine Coast in a mighty manner. All the warships concentrated their firepower and violently bombarded the German volunteers in the encirclement.

This wave of attack was fatal to the Germans. Originally, because the international column lacked heavy artillery and attack capabilities, they could barely support it, but when the Red Navy came up, it was really a devastating blow.

On the first day alone, there were more than a thousand German devils who fell under the fire of the Red Sea warship guns. Even Guderian's command was directly removed, and the future blitz expert was hit by a shrapnel and seriously injured.

More importantly, the Red Navy had no intention of stopping at all. After two consecutive days of bombardment, the Germans were on the verge of collapse. At this time, Hitler had to do the work of the Soviet Union through the Ribintrop-Molotov channel again.

"As long as we can open our doors and allow German citizens to leave the encirclement, our government can guarantee that cooperation with Franco will be interrupted!"

Stalin was once again moved by the German conditions, especially the Germans also promised: "If the German citizens in the encirclement can be safely evacuated, our country will resume military and technical exchanges with the Soviet Union, and even sell the No. 5 ship Luzov, the heavy cruiser of Admiral Hippel, and the 380mm main gun related technologies of the battleship of the USS Mai, which is under construction, to your country.

Faced with such "high-end" conditions, the big ship and giant cannon controlled Stalin, because when he suggested building a new battleship, Li Xiaofeng refused on the pretext of lacking relevant technical reserves for the main gun. If he could buy the German 380mm main gun directly, what other excuse could someone use to block it?

So, Stalin began to jump up and down again, and had a direct and direct conflict with Sverdlov and Li Xiaofeng... (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
