Franco frowned immediately. Of course he knew what Cyric said. After all, they came to support him and did not say it was free at that time. Now, Cyric's meaning is very obvious. If he doesn't pay the bill, the support from the Germans will probably be ruined.

Although the current situation in Spain is beneficial to the National Army, Franco has figured it out that he cannot lose the aid from Germany!

Only with the Condor Legion, he was able to firmly grasp the sky, and now, the ground troops of the Condor Legion have also shown strong combat power.

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

So, Franco had no other choice. He rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't the Seymour company already transporting our ore?"

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

At the same time, their ships were definitely not empty when they returned, so they just happened to transport Spanish ore back to Germany.

Spain and Spanish Morocco have many mineral resources, mainly copper, tungsten and bronze, which are what Germany needs the most!

As the National Army continued to occupy more territory, many mineral deposits could be transported to Germany, such as the Zegengen Iron Mine near Melilla, the Leo 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, just importing ore from Spain cannot meet Germany's needs at all.

"General Franco, we have made some statistics. If we rely on importing Spanish and Morocco minerals to offset this debt, it will probably not be able to repay it in fifty years." Cialek said.

On the one hand, it expands one's own expenditures and on the other hand, it lowers the profits of these ores. It is not surprising that the figures obtained for fifty years are obtained.

Hearing this, General Franco continued, "Then do you have any good opinions?"

"The mining efficiency of these minerals is too low! The main reason is that the management of mining companies is backward!" Cialick said: "If Seymour Company takes over the mining of these mineral companies, hold most or all of their shares, and use our advanced management methods of Germany, the mining volume of minerals can be effectively increased."

Germany helped Franco, why? In addition to restraining France, in addition to resisting redism, what is more important is economic interests!

Germany lacks minerals. For Germany, no matter how many minerals there are, they are not too many.

Nowadays, the ore imported from the Soviet Union every year has been piled up in Germany, but Cirick is still not satisfied and needs more minerals. Spanish minerals are what he values ​​the most!

From the Soviet Union, the ore was imported directly. Cialek never thought of controlling the other party's mines. That was impossible. They were publicly owned, but Spain was different. Spain was a capitalist society.

Therefore, the best way to control Spanish minerals is to hold all the shares of their mineral companies!

After all, before the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, almost all the minerals in Spain and Morocco were exported to Britain and the United States. Now, Spain needs Germany's help to export the ores to Germany. Later, after Franco took power, he could still export the minerals to Britain and the United States.

There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

In order to better control the Spanish economy, we must control all the shares of their mines!

Hearing Cialique's words, Franco had a smile on his face: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say. After I go back, I will hold an economic meeting and introduce policies in this regard, so wait."

Cialek nodded, of course he could not believe what the person in front of him said! However, if the other party is not sincere, don’t expect the Condor Legion to continue to work hard!

Moreover, Cialek had already thought of the subsequent countermeasures.

"I think that after we conquer Madrid, we should also carry out more exchanges and cooperation in the field of culture." Cialek continued.

Wait until Madrid is defeated! Franco didn't listen to the content behind, at least the one in front made him very happy.

"For example, we can establish a financially funded cultural institution; diplomas issued by German schools in Spain have the effect of equivalent to German secondary school diplomas; we can regularly exchange students, professors and teachers for cultural cooperation; we can set up radio stations in the other country and release movies. Works that are banned in one country for political reasons cannot be distributed in another country." Cirick said everything he thought of.

"Yes, this proposal is good." Franco said.

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

The meeting ended in a friendly atmosphere. Cialek sent Franco and his group to leave in a car. Lieutenant Colonel Richterhofen, the staff officer next to him, said: "Commander, it's very strange. Just now, Franco was obviously very interested in our tanks. Why didn't Franco mention it when the meeting was just now?"

"Of course he won't come up. I have already put forward the conditions. If he wants to continue to get our support, he has to agree to the request of our holding mine." Cialick said: "How could we give him our Panther 2 tank before he answered us on this question."

Franco is a personal elite. Of course he knows what Germany wants, and at the same time he doesn't want to agree, so he is ambiguous. Seeing the cultural matter just now, Franco nodded immediately without hesitation.

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

Moreover, Germany will not give it to Spain for truly advanced equipment. This is true in history. After Germany left, it left the He51 to Spain. The BF109 will never be left. The Black Panther 2 tank is the main equipment of the German Army. How could it be given to the Spanish, especially to Franco, an ungrateful guy?
