It can be said that the Spanish republican government is so useless that it makes people cry.
Such a useless government is rare in the history of human civilization that spans thousands of years.
Even regimes such as Kaishen Logistics, I Daqing, and I Dameng, which have been criticized by countless people in later generations, and are known for their waste, can be very proud to despise them.
Looking at the recorded history of mankind, if the Spanish republican government is not ranked first, at least it is ranked in the top three.
After occupying an incomparable advantage, he would be beaten by the Franco Group who had nothing to lose.
He would be beaten in various postures and tricks, and he could be beaten in any way he wanted.
However, since the volunteers of the Third International and the People's Revolutionary League arrived successively, the situation of the republican government began to stabilize.
In the history of the original time and space, the Spanish Civil War was generally regarded as a preview of the "World War II", and the same is true in this dimension.
Moreover, more countries are involved in this dimension, and the scale of intervention is also larger.
As of April 1937, all five major national groups in the world were involved.
Among the top eight major powers in the world, only the United Kingdom has not been involved at all, while all other countries have participated to a greater or lesser extent.
Even the United States and the United Kingdom, which declared not to intervene, had a large number of Communist Party members and other members of the Third International, as well as Spanish Republican sympathizers, forming a volunteer army to participate in the war.
Although the Spanish Republicans are extremely useless, they have many supporters around the world, and of course their opponents too.
The Spanish Civil War attracted a large number of far-leftists to Spain to help fight at their own expense.
There were as many as 100,000 "Five Pesetas" who brought their own dry food and came from more than 50 countries, covering almost every major country in the world.
Among them, the International Brigade organized by the Third International was the largest.
The Third International recruited troops from various countries and organized an International Brigade with more than 50,000 people.
However, far-right elements in various countries did not watch.
They also organized volunteer troops to join the National Army led by Franco.
Of course, due to the conservative and nationalist nature of the right wing, not as many people went as there were on the extreme left.
Because according to the thinking of many right-wing people, "it is none of my business whether Spain is alive or dead."
The foreigners who join the National Army are the kind of extremists who are sworn in with communism.
This is because this period is the time when various ideological trends in the world are colliding most intensely.
Communism, socialism, syndicalism, fascism, nationalism, anarchism and other ideological trends are all popular because they are oriented to the bottom.
Suddenly, and even accidentally, a new variant will appear.
In the past few years after the economic crisis, this collision of ideas has become extremely active.
The current stage is the heyday of far-left thought in the world, but it is also the period when far-right thought is most rampant.
In the world, the two extremes of the left and right are highly opposed.
After you can't tell the winner with words, you have to have a battle to decide who is more correct.
However, except for losers like Spain, the governments of most countries have been able to suppress the situation and prevent domestic ideological differences from turning into wars.
Mediating such ideological disputes has always been a thankless task.
Originally, governments were still worried about this kind of thing, but now that the Spanish Civil War has occurred, governments have become brighter.
Damn, don’t you want to fight?
Then go to Spain and have a good fight.
It’s best not to come back.
So governments of various countries tacitly acquiesced and even encouraged their own extremists to go to Spain to join the war.
For governments of all countries, both the extreme left and the right are very annoying things.
The fewer these things, the better.
It would be best if they were all extinct in Spain.
Against this background, extremist thorns in the eyes of various governments, whether from the left or the right, have come to Spain to try their hand at expressing their revolutionary passion, although the expression may not be accurate.
Volunteers from all over the country poured in, and the Spanish Civil War unknowingly turned into an international battlefield.
The international left and right poles use Spain as the battlefield, where the war is going on.
In addition to treating Spain as a garbage dump for consuming their own extremists, the most common thing governments do is to use it as a weapons testing ground and weapons exhibition.
All the major powers sent their latest weapons over for actual combat testing and advertising.
Take aircraft as an example, including the Soviet I-17, I-18, and IL-1, the German he100, bf109, and ju87, the French g, the American 40, the British Spitfire and Hurricane, and so on.

Of course, the most exposed items are the new army equipment developed by various countries.
From light weapons such as pistols and rifles to heavy weapons such as tanks and cannons, the whole of Spain has become a huge weapons testing ground and weapons exhibition.
Weapons from various countries are here.
Fully demonstrate your performance.
Andalusia is the most fertile land in Spain, producing the famous Andalusian horses and the best olive oil.
But after the Spanish Civil War began, the place fell into war.
"Boom boom boom" "Da da da" Countless artillery shells streaked across the sky, countless bullets screamed towards their respective targets, the battlefield was filled with smoke, and people fell every minute.
In the middle of the battlefield, two teams of steel behemoths were engaged in a fierce battle.
The largest armored showdown since World War I.
If a military fan sees this scene, he will definitely jump with excitement.
Because here are almost all the new armored fighting vehicles and tanks of all the great powers in the world.
Germany's No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, and No. 6, the Soviet Union's t26, t28, t30, t34, is1 and BT series, the United States' 3, 4, and 5, and the British Matilda, Van Talen, Churchill, and Karen Will, Firefly Firebug, French Chard 2, Soma S35, Hotchkiss H36, Renault R35, AX36, etc., etc., almost all new armored combat vehicles, tanks and armored vehicles that have been finalized or not finalized can be seen here .
It should be noted that although some models of these armored vehicles are the same as those in the original time and space, the actual products are very different and are not the same thing at all.
For example, the German Panzer III is completely different from the original work of the same name.
The Panzer III in this plane is a light tank with a total weight of 20 tons and a 75mm gun.
The Panzer IV is a medium tank weighing 38 tons and equipped with an 88mm gun.
The same goes for other countries.
The technological development of this plane, especially conventional weapons, has been affected beyond recognition by the storm fanned by Wen Desi, the wind god pterosaur.
To be precise, it has been greatly advanced.
For example, armored vehicles are far ahead of schedule compared to the original time and space.
At least about ten years in advance.
Of course, as the new China is the originator of new weapons such as armored fighting vehicles, it is natural that new toys will be unveiled at this "exhibition conference".
China's zzc2 type 1912 "Wolverine" light tank and zzc3 type 1916 type "Red Wolf" medium tank have long been famous in the world.
During World War I, they were undoubtedly the most advanced tanks, but now, sixteen years later, they are nothing.
This time China launched three new types of tanks, namely the zzc6 type 1931 "Chinese Jackal" light tank, the zzc7 type 1932 type "Leopard" medium tank, and the zzc7 type 1933 type "Northeast Tiger".
However, the two super-heavy tanks, the zzc4 1920-type "Rhino" and the zzc5 1930-type "Mammoth" that the outside world has been paying attention to, did not appear.
There are also rumors that China is developing more advanced super-heavy tanks.
If you are a military fan of later generations, you will definitely feel that these three tanks are very familiar.
The "Leopard" is clearly a replica of the 59d, and the "Chinese Jackal" is the Type 62.
As for the "Siberian Tiger" heavy tank, it was a premature death in the original time and space.
In this plane, wz111 can be called "Mr.
Wen 111".
Of course, since the history of "Wen Zong 111" in the original time and space has not been completed, it does not have much information to copy, and it is basically a redesign.
Compared with the original product of the same name, it only looks similar.
In fact, it is more based on the Soviet T10.
Of course, the same goes for "Leopard" and "Chinese Jackal".
Both have been optimized and designed based on the original ones, and the subsystems have also been greatly improved.
For example, the "Leopard" engine uses a 550-kilowatt, 737-horsepower liquid-cooled diesel engine, which far exceeds the 382-kilowatt engine of the original Space-Time Type 59 and is already equivalent to the level of the Type 85 engine.
In addition, it adopts a new planetary gearbox and steering control device with hydraulic power-assisted shifting, and changes the joystick of the steering control mechanism to a steering wheel, making the operation light and flexible.
A simple automatic fire control system and a stabilized sighting system are installed, giving the tank the ability to shoot at short stops and a certain ability to shoot moving targets while moving.
In addition, there are automatic fire extinguishing systems; collective and individual three-proof devices; thermal smoke screen deployment devices; new radio stations; quick-opening safety doors and other advanced design concepts of later generations.
Not only the "Leopard", but also the "Chinese Jackal" and "Siberian Tiger" adopted many design concepts from later generations.
However, these three tanks are actually export versions, so they are not China's best-performing products.
The performance of all subsystems has been shrunk.
However, in today's world, they are already top-notch products.

A bunch of National Army heavy tanks are being attacked by a company of "Siberian Tigers".
There are Matilda tanks from the UK and German Panzer V tanks in this pile, but these two are heavier and larger.
The big guy was beaten by the smaller "Siberian tiger" and was unable to fight back.
Matilda and No. 5 in this plane are different from those in the original time and space.
They are both heavy tanks.
Matilda is a heavy tank developed by the British in 1933, weighing 58 tons.
It has two models, one is an "infantry tank", the turret is equipped with a four-inch howitzer for anti-infantry, and the British position it to support infantry combat.
The other is a "cruise tank" aimed at armored targets, equipped with a 17-pound 76mm cannon.
The Germans' Panzer V was heavier, reaching 62 tons, and its firepower was much more powerful than the Matilda.
It was a tank gun modified from a 105mm anti-aircraft gun.
However, their artillery is not powerful enough for the "Siberian Tiger", whose armor protection performance is extremely excellent.
The armor inclination of the turret and car body is very large, and the bulletproof appearance is good.
The armor on the front of the car is 120 mm thick and has an inclination angle of 72 degrees.
The turret is a cast steel structure with a low profile and a large inclination angle.
The armor in front of the turret is 200 mm thick, which was difficult to penetrate at the time.
The German's 105mm tank cannon can only penetrate the side impact, not to mention the Matilda's 17-pounder cannon.
Hitting the thick-skinned "Siberian Tiger" is like scratching an itch.
The British navy likes small boats to carry cannons, but their army is the complete opposite.
They always like to make thin tubes.
The 120mm main gun of the "Siberian Tiger" coupled with tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets is so brutal that it can kill Matilda and No. 5 with just one shot.
"Hahahaha, it's so exciting.
It's this feeling of firing one shot at a time.
This horse-riding thing is called a heavy tank."
Captain Boyle of the 12th Heavy Tank Company of the International Column drove the "Siberian Tiger" and rampaged through the enemy group. .
There was a loud "boom", and the chasing "Siberian Tiger" made a huge earthquake.
Boyle hit the front siding and let out a scream.
"We were hit.
The company commander is lucky, there was no penetration," the driver, Sergeant Bode, shouted.
"Horse Rider" Boyle rubbed the bag on his head and couldn't help but feel lucky that he was wearing a tank hat, otherwise this would have been enough for him to drink a pot.
"It was the No. 5 in the grass in front that did it," gunner John shouted.
This car belongs to the International Brigade, and the four crew members come from three countries.
"Grass actually dares to sneak attack on us, kill it."
Boyle also saw the No. 5 tank in front of him, and quickly turned the turret to cover it with the sight.
The No. 5 tank was probably frightened.
It was unscientific that it couldn't penetrate even at a distance of 200 meters.
By the time they reacted and prepared to grease their feet, the opponent's turret had already turned around.
"Boom" the Siberian Tiger's main gun sprayed out a long stream of gun flames.
The 120mm tungsten alloy armor-piercing incendiary bomb instantly hit No. 5, which was unable to avoid it, and penetrated its front armor at once.
With a loud "boom", the unlucky No. 5 tank exploded like a big artillery fire.
The thermite behind the warhead detonated its internal ammunition depot, and the exploding ammunition lifted the turret.
The whole tank is like a lit torch, with fireworks going off.
The National Army's tank troops were beaten back again and again.
At this moment, a large group of "leopards" rushed down from a low mountain nearby.
"It's bad, leopard, it's a leopard, the leopard rushed down from the mountain," a National Army officer shouted hoarsely on the radio.
"Retreat, retreat quickly" In this battle, known as the "Armored Battle of Andalusia", both sides invested a total of nearly 1,200 armored fighting vehicles of various types, and ended with the defeat of the Spanish National Army.

The National Army camp, including the intervention forces of Germany, Italy and other countries, had 376 tanks destroyed, while the Republican Army camp, including the volunteers of various countries, had 123 tanks destroyed.
Among them, two-thirds were destroyed by Chinese tanks, while the number of Chinese tanks themselves was only one-third.
After this battle, China's status as the number one tank power once again became unshakable
