Franco immediately frowned. Of course, he knew what xierik meant. After all, people came for support and didn't say free at that time. Now, xierik's meaning is very obvious. If you don't pay the bill, I'm afraid the German support will come to naught.

Although the war situation in Spain is good for the national army, Franco has also figured out that he can't lose the aid from Germany!

With the vulture legion, he can firmly grasp the sky, and now, the ground troops of the vulture Legion have also shown their strong combat effectiveness.

If Germany leaves and the Comintern fully supports the Republican Army, his battle will undoubtedly be more difficult.

So Franco had no choice. He turned his eyes and said, "Seymour company, isn't it already transporting our ore?"

Seymour company is a transportation company. Its initial business was to transport Moroccan troops to Spain. Now, Seymour company's main task is to transport German weapons and equipment to Spain.

At the same time, when they returned, their ships would certainly not be empty, so they just transported Spanish ore back to Germany.

Spain and Western Morocco have a lot of mineral resources, mainly copper, tungsten and bronze, which are most needed by Germany!

With the continuous occupation of more land by the national army, many minerals can be transported to Germany, such as zegengen iron mine near melilia and Rio? Tinto copper mine and Asturia.

In history, in 1937 alone, 2.5 million tons of ore were transported to Germany, including 1.6 million tons of iron ore.

However, only Importing Ore from Spain can not meet the needs of Germany.

"General Franco, we have made some statistics. If we offset this debt by importing minerals from Spain and Morocco, I'm afraid it will not be repaid in 50 years." Said Shrek.

On the one hand, it is not surprising to expand our own expenditure and on the other hand, it depresses the profits of these ores.

Hearing this, General Franco continued, "what's your good opinion?"

"The mining efficiency of these minerals is too low! The main reason is that the management of mining companies is backward! " "If Seymour company takes over the mining of these mineral companies, holds most or all of their shares, and uses our advanced management methods in Germany, we can effectively improve the mining volume of minerals," hirek said

Germany helps Franco. Why? In addition to containing France and resisting red chauvinism, what is more important is economic interests!

Germany is short of minerals. No matter how many minerals there are, it is not much for Germany.

Now, the ore imported from the Soviet Union every year has been piled into a mountain in Germany. However, Chirac is still not satisfied and needs more minerals. Spain's minerals are what he values most!

From the Soviet Union, the direct import is ore. xierik didn't want to control each other's mines. It's impossible. They are public ownership, but Spain is different. Spain is a capitalist society.

Therefore, the best way to control Spain's minerals is to hold all the shares of their mining companies!

After all, before the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, almost all the minerals of Spain and Morocco were exported to Britain and the United States. Now, Spain needs the help of Germany to export minerals to Germany. After Franco takes power, he can still export minerals to Britain and the United States.

There is no eternal friend, no eternal enemy, only eternal interests.

In order to better control the Spanish economy, it is necessary to control all the shares of their mines!

Hearing what Chirac said, Franco smiled: "it's easy to say, it's easy to say. After I go back, I'll hold an economic conference and introduce policies in this regard. Wait."

Shrek nodded and couldn't believe what the man in front of him said! However, if the other party is not sincere, then don't expect the vulture corps to continue to contribute!

Moreover, Shrek had already figured out how to deal with it later.

"I think we should have more exchanges and cooperation in the cultural field after we have laid down Madrid." Hilrick continued.

Wait until Madrid! Franco didn't listen to the back, at least the front, made him very happy.

"For example, we can set up cultural institutions funded by finance; Diplomas issued by German schools in Spain have the effect equivalent to German secondary school diploma; We can regularly exchange students, professors and teachers for cultural cooperation; We can set up radio stations in each other's countries to distribute films. Works banned in one country for political reasons shall not be distributed in another country. " Shrek said everything he thought of.

"Yes, that's a good proposal." Said Franco.

This kind of cooperation in cultural exchange does not seem to have much effect, but its impact is more far-reaching! Through this action, we can restore the spirit of advocating Germany in Spain and infiltrate Spain in spirit!

The meeting ended in a friendly atmosphere. Hilrick sent Franco and his party away by car. Lieutenant Colonel Richthofen, the staff officer around him, said: "commander, it's strange that Franco was very interested in our tanks just now. Why didn't Franco mention it at the meeting?"

"Of course he won't put it forward. I have put forward conditions. If he wants to continue to get our support, he has to agree to our request to control the mine." "On this question, how could we give him our Panther 2 tank before he replied to us," hirek said

Franco is a personal genius. Of course, he knows the requirements of Germany. At the same time, he doesn't want to agree. Only then can he be ambiguous. Seeing what he just said about culture, Franco nodded immediately without hesitation.

How could he have the face to ask for the Panther 2 tank.

Moreover, Germany will not give Spain the really advanced equipment, which is the case in history. After Germany left, it left he51 to Spain, and BF109 will never stay. Panther 2 tank is the main equipment of the German army. How can it give to the Spaniards, especially Franco, an ungrateful guy?

"We can't agree with the Germans, but we can't annoy the Germans." On the returning car, Franco turned to his confidant, general Jose, and said, "if the Germans have all the shares in our mine, they will control our economy. We can't tolerate it. We must think of a reasonable answer. "
