The Spanish Foreign Legion is not as famous as the Gaul Foreign Legion, and it is also smaller. Generally, it maintains about six or seven thousand people, but it is not at all in terms of training and combat effectiveness.

In recent years, Spain has participated in the peacekeeping of the United Nations or NATO, and almost all of them have sent this unit to report in the name of the "Spanish Corps"
The foreign corps in the Spanish army is a highly controversial team full of strange colors. Most Spaniards have heard of the brave performance of this unit in previous foreign battles. Even the regiment song "Dead Lovers" is familiar to the Spanish people. However, this corps was closely related to the late dictator Franco. During the Spanish War, Franco’s right-wing nationalist regiment brutally suppressed and killed the left-wing people’s front, so this unit was despised by the people of Spain for quite a long time.
The Spanish Foreign Corps was established in 192, but unlike the French Foreign Corps, the proportion of foreign members in the foreign corps was less than a quarter. The Spanish Corps was originally established to deal with the Reeve rebel forces in the Spanish Moroccan colony. It was during this period that the Corps established a reputation for being brave and cruel. When General Li Weila, commander-in-chief of the Spanish Army, went to Morocco to inspect the corps to meet him, every soldier had a Reeve rebel head stuck in his gun. Li Weila almost fainted.
The Spanish army fought with the Reeves, and the foreign regiment either took the lead in the attack or took the lead in the charge when the troops broke through, so it suffered considerable casualties. At the height of the war, all the soldiers in the regiment were killed and wounded. In 1922, the commander of the regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Warren Zola, was killed when he led the troops to break through, and was ordered to take over the army. Lieutenant Colonel later became Franco.
In 1936, a political wave broke out in Spain. Franco’s request for the government to declare the country into a state of emergency was rejected, and he was demoted to the Canary Islands. After the outbreak of the Spanish War, the right-wing forces knew that they must win the foreign corps to win the war, and this was handed over to Franco, who helped the Germans transport the corps from North Africa to Spain to participate in the Spanish War for three years. The foreign corps appeared in every big battle and was interspersed with troops at the forefront of the most dangerous.
After the war, Franco’s regiment went to the North African colony to garrison. In 1956, Spain agreed to withdraw its troops from Morocco, but it still retained the Western Sahara and other territories. These areas are still guarded by the foreign corps, who died of illness in 1975 and was returned to the Spanish royal family in exile according to his orders. In 1976, Spain withdrew from the Sahara, but it still retained two North African territories, euav and elilla, and continued to be stationed by the foreign corps. After the Spanish joined NATO, the name of the "foreign corps" was changed to "Spanish corps"
But the Spaniards are still used to calling it "foreign corps"
Although Spain has announced that the foreign corps will no longer recruit foreigners, it is said that foreigners will continue to join the corps. If you want to go to the local Spanish police station or a Spanish embassy abroad, you can apply. The Corps will arrange personnel to contact the applicants and broadcast an introduction to the film of the Corps. If the applicants are willing to continue after watching the film and the Corps preliminarily evaluates the applicants and approves them, then the applicants can sign up to join.
After joining the Corps, applicants will be sent to Ronda in southern Spain for very cruel training; In the past, it was reported that some recruits died suddenly during training, but now this kind of news is relatively rare, but it does not mean that the training process has become "literary". In addition to basic combat skills, training also includes various endurance training, and corporal punishment is even more common. It is rumored that the corps exercises are all live ammunition, so casualties are difficult
In recent years, with the gradual forgetting of Franco’s dictatorship, people began to reevaluate and treat this elite unit of the Spanish army. After Spain joined NATO, the foreign corps participated in international peacekeeping for many times and was sent to Bosnia, Angola, Nicaragua and Haiti … Some military experts called it a strict discipline. Young people in Spain, a unit with very high professional quality, now regard it as a great honor to join the corps regardless of what mistakes the foreign corps made in the past. Spain has been implementing the recruitment system since 22 years. Many services are worried that they may not be able to recruit enough soldiers, but the foreign corps has no such worries, because all the soldiers in the corps have never come uninvited, and Spain is certainly no exception, so this beast has been released.
Of course, I like mercenaries to take the lead. Not only are they sent by the British Empire as mercenaries, but the famous Langerka Infantry Brigade, although Belan people have not shown any softness during this period, although China, Pakistan Railway, Argentina and even Tanzania are racing against time, Belan transfused the whole fighter spare parts, tanks, artillery, missiles, Medical supplies were shipped in a whole boat to update the equipment of Belan Defence Force rapidly, but intoxicated with the past, a few cannons were set up on the coastline to win the glory of a country in Africa. Europe still didn’t take this action seriously. They thought that when this huge fleet appeared in the Cape of Good Hope with the anger of the whole of Europe, the whole Belan would be wise to choose to be superstitious about force in Europe. They completely forgot that Belan was the only country that had never bowed its head to them for hundreds of years, and it still wouldn’t.
Avery’s school said slowly, "I heard that China has asked the Belan government for another 16 years."
Two-seater long-range fighter-bombers and six J-12s, so Belan really became the most powerful army in black Africa. "
Munler school heart "the most powerful army? Are you kidding? Can those niggers who can’t even eat enough fly a plane? "
Avery School said, "Maybe they won’t, but some people will, for example, Chinese mercenaries, such as the 3rd Squadron of Argentine HNA, and the 21st Fighter Squadron of Batiejun. They did very well in the Battle of Belan and never looked down upon them."
The Munler School said, "It’s hard to imagine that under such strong diplomatic pressure, those countries can still hold on and not withdraw their pilots. If they insist on staying here, then …" Pointing to the super flag fighter "Stop Fuxi", "They will become our flag-raising animals!"
Compared with Munler or the whole European Legion, Avery always kept awake and whispered to himself, "The sea otter and the super flag sound good, but I don’t know if they can stop Skyhawk’s claws." That’s an excellent fighter that has defeated Tomcats and attack hawks! "
The fleet suddenly sounded the alarm. They have entered the territorial waters of Belan, and the weak navy of Belan appeared under their noses. They came to intercept the European fleet. Compared with Belan Lan Haijun, the European fleet is too shabby. There are not even destroyers on the coastline for more than 1,000 kilometers. China only delivered six torpedo boats and two missile boats last year, which is their most powerful force. To put it bluntly, the total tonnage of the whole Belan Lan Haijun is less than half that of a European cruiser, which is several grades short. So they dare to expel the European fleet. I really don’t know what these black people are thinking.
"Listen, foreign warships, you have invaded our territorial waters. Please stop the boat for inspection or we will take tough measures to defend the territorial master! Foreign warships listen to you … "
About nine gunboats and a hunting submarine are slowly approaching the European fleet while repeating propaganda. They are all old guys. Beran people are still a little calculating. They didn’t show the most advanced torpedo boats and missile boats and let people stew them in a spoonful. Their propaganda caused a burst of laughter among European sailors, like hearing the funniest joke. The commander of the Coalition forces is naturally arrogant. John Bull, a 50-year-old stubborn old man, coughed a reply in a serious way. "Bei Lan Haijun, listen, we are the European fleet to receive overseas Chinese. Please don’t interfere with us to receive overseas Chinese."
The old man’s words made the sailors laugh louder. Can his grandmother get an aircraft carrier when she receives overseas Chinese? This sounds like coaxing a child.
Commander Beran’s navy has a tough tone. "We are not opposed to your cancellation of overseas Chinese."
It’s your posturing that counts as armed aggression! Please stop the boat for inspection or withdraw from our territorial waters, otherwise we will reserve the right to defend ourselves and fight back. "
Lieutenant general dawn sarcastically said, "well, we will be inspected. How do you inspect the ship?"
Another burst of laughter.
The roar of the engine interrupted the sailors’ laughter. Four flying wolves and two J-12s emerged from the clouds. They were Bei Lan Haijun’s backers. Their wings and knives were diabolical, and the sun was shining with cold light. The missiles were as sharp as giant sharks’ teeth, which made people shudder. The sailors’ faces changed slightly. They didn’t forget that it was these bloodthirsty raptors who killed the multinational navies in the century war in Asia. If anyone dared to despise them, they were doomed to pay a painful price. Lieutenant General Dawn still looked relaxed and ordered "Take off a sea otter squadron."
The voice of the aircraft carrier Fuxi came. When the aircraft catapulted and took off, there was a huge roar. A super military flag jumped from the slender flight deck and then one after another … Grandma Gaul rooster, this is a heart-stealing!
Not to be outdone, the sea otter took off at a faster speed, which made those Belan fighters somewhat stunned. Of course, if the two sides met each other, the European pilots would be even more shocked. These pilots were either yellow or white, and there was no black man!
歼 -12 is extremely flexible. One of them rolled off the super flag. Feng Ling muttered curses, "Garbage is scattered! If there are a few df-9a’s, they will make you sink like a pile of stones! "
Another J -12 crashed into the sea like a stall spin, and it was about to plunge into the sea before it was leveled, and then the whole set was pulled up in one go. The super flag was trying to lock it. Grace was blindsided and locked the other side in his mouth. "Whoosh" A simulated missile launch was heard on the public channel. The Gaul pilot felt a chill all over-the other side meant that he had been shot down. Damn J -12 was so difficult!
Not only is the J -12 difficult to deal with flying wolves, but it is also difficult to handle flying wolves. It can also hover with heavy anti-ship missiles. It is not as good as people’s ability to dive low until they can smell the salty smell of seawater. They don’t even want to lock it up. With the excellent fighter performance, this small military unit is just as equal as the many joint forces. However, it is hard for Lan Haijun to fight on the sea. They are so weak that the European fleet can easily overturn their ships even if European warships wake up! Watching the enemy fleet swagger into its own territorial waters, you can do it yourself
Force every Beran sailor is red-eyed, angry and intertwined with their faces. I really wish that people and boats would crash into this gang of robber carriers, even if they don’t sink, they would be splashed with dirt!
The navy major gritted his teeth and said, "Fire warning!"
A gunboat turns its muzzle to aim at the middle shell and inputs "Boom!" A fire came from the muzzle of generate, which was the first shot of an African country against an old enemy in Europe. Of course, it was a bomb. However, the incident that followed stunned every Beran sailor-
"boom! ! !”
A transport ship suddenly shook with a heavy shock, and a huge fireball rushed up from its body, rolling and growling, with a large number of fragments expanding rapidly and rushing up to more than 50 meters high. You don’t have to think much about it. Just look at this situation, you should know that there will never be a living ship.
European ships are stunned.
Bei Lan Haijun was dumbfounded. They were bombs! Besides, even live ammunition 122 mm caliber shells are not so terrible, right? Unless it’s a nuclear shell!
What the fuck is going on here?
Lieutenant general dawn roared, "how dare you fire on the great European fleet and sink our warships?" Wait for the punishment! " Turn around and order "sink all the Bei Lan Haijun ships and shoot down all their fighters!"
Chapter 40 The outbreak of war (1)
The explosion was a 30,000-ton transport ship named Atlantis belonging to the Royal Navy. At that time, the ship was full of military supplies, and there were 9,000 large-caliber artillery shells. These tens of millions of artillery shells were detonated into a huge mushroom-like smoke cloud, and the whole hull was torn apart to the limit. Flames were everywhere, and blaster fragments were everywhere. In the rumbling noise, several tons or even dozens of tons of hull parts were joking, and they generally became independent. They flew to the half with a big fire before crashing down and splashing black water columns. The scene where the sun was covered and the sea was red with fire was so spectacular and deadly. People who saw this scene will never forget it for life. Of course, Lan Haijun can’t believe that the European fleet tasted it again. Isn’t it jaw-dropping? And the audience saw this scene through the camera of the army reporter in front of the camera. His grandmother’s big explosion was really wonderful! Those good people’s eyes lit up at the thought that the big bang was bound to sink the huge ship; The thought of the explosion that all the people on board were going to die made them tremble with excitement!
The officers and men of the European fleet also trembled-I’m so angry. You poor people dare to fire at us and sink our warships before we even start work, right? Now I want you to know how many eyes Lord Ma has! The furious European fleet turned into a wild beast, and instantly poured out the most dense firepower, which completely covered Belan’s roots. The navy was not a navy. Waves of flaming water columns rushed up and the sea surface set off a stormy wave. When the water column was exhausted, Belan’s navy disappeared, and the foam rolled over the sea surface, leaving some burning fragments and broken bodies drifting with the tide. It was of course relaxing and pleasant for the navy to clean up Belan, but it was not so good for naval sailors. They also fired seven magic weapons at Belan’s army for the first time. Each fighter plane of Beran Army was divided into two fighter planes, and those two fighter planes were driven by two ace pilots, and the J -12 was the key care object of the other side. They were besieged by three or four missiles respectively. So many missiles can always bring these annoying flies, right?
No way!
At the first moment when the Belan Army was attacked by sneak attack, birds and animals scattered out groups of high G maneuvers, and strings of bait flew out like snowflakes. Plus, there was a sudden strong magnetic interference 200 kilometers away. Just a few fighter planes just split into dozens of signals on the radar screen of the European fleet, just like a swirling cumulonimbus cloud. A dozen menacing short-range combat missiles plunged into that cumulonimbus cloud and made their place dizzy with false signals. Flying wolves and J -12 took the opportunity to change and get rid of these annoying ghosts. This kind of undeclared war can be done. 歼-
The sudden acceleration of the nozzle tail flame boom increased by one third. The fighter plane flew at an extremely flexible angle of attack, got rid of the pursuit of two super flags, and then the snake maneuver successfully locked the other side. Grace "restrained" and was already eager to try. The Viper ii fighter missile pulled out of the launcher and pulled out an almost straight plume, which swallowed the hateful super flag. The speed and maneuverability were high, which made the unlucky pilot gasp and exclaim, "My God, Mary!" The standard bee dance of the Super Flag tried to get rid of this fierce and fast snake by dazzling maneuver. Unfortunately, it was too late. "Viper ii" brushed the warhead from the tail of the Super Flag and automatically exploded. The whole missile turned into an orange fireball. The shrapnel danced all over the Super Flag, and the cockpit cover glass made the pilot’s blood spattered with blood. This was the first fighter plane lost in Europe.
Grace’s eyes are wide open. Although everyone is wearing a military hat and mercenaries have little discipline, it is rare for such unruly pilots to be put in the mercenary army, isn’t it? You know, he didn’t even order the company to fight back, so he dried up a super flag! It is simply organizational discipline! He roared in English while dealing with stalking and beating the sea otter. "What are you doing? Damn it, you are starting a war! "
Feng Ling roar louder than he "need me to start? The war has broken out … damn it! " The constant scolding is because a red-eyed super flag has fired two r-55 "magic" fighting missiles at him in succession. This thing is better than the early ai-9b, and it is difficult to deal with it. Of course, Feng Ling swears. Another reason is that Gaul experts have participated in the design of the J -12 and have a better understanding of the J -12. Now that they have decided to attack Belan and Belan is so likely to get the J -12, it is of course impossible for a Gaul rooster to go to the key without any countermeasures. It’s strange that it’s not difficult to cope with it. Fortunately, the r-55 has a range or it’s a little shorter than the "Viper ii". The J -12 is hateful. Even if it’s locked, it can sneak out of the missile’s range with Mach 2 high speed. It’s not easy to hit it, and Grace is also being pressed by the sea otter. Plus, it’s even more furious to see the navy of Belan disappear. Decisively, European naval sailors cut into the attack channel and launched a fierce battle. Others bit one. Rolling from tens of thousands of meters to several meters away from the sea, from tens of kilometers to tens of meters, the hunter’s prey role may be reversed at any time. The most hateful feature is that the Harrier fighter can make the plane suddenly rise by rotating the nozzle.
Suddenly descending, flying fast, flying slowly, and slowly retreating in hovering, but the enemy plane rushed in front of the harrier attack plane because it couldn’t stop the car. This can change the harrier from a forced state to a favorable state. He attacked the harrier attack plane twice, but it didn’t work. When he attacked the harrier attack plane from the rear and launched the missile, Of course, this also makes the missile hang on his landline, or the Argentine army has been fighting the missile along the "dagger" for many years, instead of being more advanced and more expensive. Even the "Viper ii" has brought one. In the end, the Ministry of National Defense is still worried that the route blocked by the British Navy in wartime will no longer be able to obtain advanced weapons from China, and it will be in a desperate situation. Therefore, it is necessary to upgrade the old equipment before it is started. Although the effect is limited, it is better than cramming.
The sea otter was forced by this J -12, and actually played the rabbit’s riding eagle to avoid the stabbing of the "dagger" once again, and then flew to the fleet to seek shelter. Grace saw that her brother was forced by the enemy to fight against the sea otter and burst its chrysanthemum impulse, and killed the dagger at that super flag that had locked a flying wolf. An umbrella flower bloomed in the sea breeze almost at the same time. Two flying wolves were shot down. After all, their fighting ability was still a little weak. The top European fighters were sure to suffer a loss. However, Feng Ling helped to get the field back and threw off a "sky flash" and went straight to the past. The gun barrel whirled and thundered into a line of shells. A few hundred meters long lightsaber was arranged in the blue to smash half the wing of the sea otter, which was fatally injured.
At present, the battle damage between the two sides is slightly more than three to two, but they have only six fighters and two fighters have been knocked out. Before the confrontation of the European fleet, a large number of Xiaolong and J-7 swarmed to meet them to retreat. Grace has to be ordered to withdraw, but she can’t leave again! He and Feng Ling were the last to evacuate. When he left, he looked back.
Trying to chase the sea otter at a glance, making this difficult ship look deep and deep, and whispering in my head, "Sea otter, we will have a good fight sooner or later!" Wait, sooner or later, you will look good! "
Chapter 49 The outbreak of war (2)
"In view of the fact that Bei Lan Haijun’s sinking of one of our transport ships caused great losses is a war, on behalf of the European Coalition forces, I would like to say that we are in a state of war against Belan from now on until Belan gives a reasonable explanation and compensation …"
That night, almost every news channel in the world broadcast the speech of Lieutenant General Dawn, commander-in-chief of the European fleet, with the news that the transport ship was still burning in the background. It was suspected that adding fuel to the fire raised the anger of Europe by 3 thousand feet. Not only every country roared "war", but the world held its breath.
After watching the news, Liu Weiping said faintly, "It’s another Maine incident!"
On the evening of February 15th, 1919, there were many ships moored in Havana Port, Cuba, an ancient lighthouse overlooking the sea. Behind the lighthouse, the Spanish built Moro Castle as early as 159. At this time, the warship "Maine" of the United States also docked here. The evening breeze blew from the sea and worked hard for a whole day. Navy officers were on deck enjoying the beautiful night view of the beach and listening to the big waves suddenly "boom!" There was a loud noise, smoke billowing and flames blazing. Many officers and men died before they came to ask what had happened. According to statistics afterwards, 164 people were killed and more than one person was injured in the explosion.
The explosion of "Maine" caused a sensation in the United States, which immediately became the headlines of many newspapers. What attracted more attention was that American officials concluded that it was the Spanish. They said that the Spanish had sneaked on the "Maine" by mine. As soon as the news was opened, the slogans of "revenge for Maine" and "fight to the death with the Spanish" immediately sounded in the United States, and the American army really began to prepare for the war.
At the same time, the Spanish side argued with the United States and Spain over this incident, and finally decided to set up an investigation team. However, when Spanish investigators asked to board the Maine, the United States resolutely refused them. It was not long before the United States dragged the bombed Maine to the Atlantic Ocean and let it sink into the sea, so that the investigation method continued, while the American opposition to Spain became stronger and stronger. Finally, less than three months after the incident, US President MacKay declared war on Spain.
After a three-month Spanish-American War, the Spanish completely failed and ended. In December of 19, the United States signed a peace treaty with Paris, Spain, and Spain recognized Cuba’s independence (Cuba actually became an American colony) and transferred the Philippine Islands to the United States, at the cost of 20 thousand dollars paid by the United States.
On the surface, how accidental it is that the explosion of Maine caused this war! In fact, there is a huge "evil heart" hidden in bread here, because the world has almost been carved up by the end of the 19th century.
The United States, a new capitalist power, did not seize any colonies. It was unwilling to do so and decided to attack Spain, a declining old empire, to seize its territory. Cuba is the "gate" of the United States. Is the Philippines a springboard to enter Asia? In this situation, the Spanish-American War broke out, and as a result, Cuba and the Philippines became American colonies. It was not until later that someone found out that the spontaneous combustion of the ship’s coal pile caused the strangeness to the extreme. The Maine incident and the aggressive wind of the double-headed eagle triggered a great war, which severely lifted Spain from the position of a powerful country and made the double-headed eagle a stepping stone to the world superpower. What about this time? What will this bring?
Metso will ask Su Lanwu, "Did you sink that ship?"
Su Lanwu said, "I can personally guarantee that the General Staff has never planned to attack the European fleet!"
Metso will look gloomy. "What the hell is that? Will that ship explode by itself? "
Liu Weiping said, "I’m afraid it’s really my own explosion … It’s not a glorious thing for adults to bully children. It’s unreasonable to find an excuse for a fleet of overseas Chinese to go to war with us … Forget the truth, I’m afraid only the emperor will know what’s most important now. It’s better to prepare for the war while you’re still willing to defend the independence and dignity of the country."
Mezzo will say, "We are never afraid of war!"
The fierce quarrel at the United Nations broke out again.
The so-called fierceness means that Shao Jianhui and Belan represent two groups of angry words against Europe. Shao Jianhui is not a vegetarian. He has long seen that the explosion of Atlantis is full of weirdness. Of course, it will not make the robbers better than the European representatives. Belan offered them a huge compensation plan of 15 billion US dollars, including the transport ship loss and the property loss pension and mental loss of European nationals who died in riots, and made Europe solemnly apologize for renting Harding Military Base, the Holy Land Port and Tucson Island to European military bases. Belan Pan implements democratic politics and the energy industry re-opens its doors to Europe ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. Are you kidding? Now they are relying on energy for loans to support their finances, and they have lost 15 billion yuan all the way. The country is going bankrupt! Don’t even think about renting a military base. There are abundant oil and gas resources and fishery resources in the waters near Tucson Island. After renting out these resources, they will be finished. How far is Harding Army Base from the capital? Lease out this base, and the whole country is strong in Europe.
What development can we talk about if we can’t spare our hands and stretch our legs? There is also the holy land port, which is their best port. In the past two years, several good brothers have helped the port facilities to improve day by day, and the cargo throughput accounts for half of the country’s seaports. Do they want to transport the port by sea?
On behalf of Belan, his face turned blue and white, pointing to Duke Charles and shaking, he scolded "shame!"
Duke Charles’s skin is better than meat. "Dear Ambassador, this is already a very favorable condition. We should have launched a military strike against you a long time ago after such a serious incident! But so far, not even one bullet has landed in your country. What is this? Isn’t it because we love peace and want to give peace a chance? In case of war, how long do you think your defense forces’ strong European Coalition offensive will last? Three days, five days or a week? "
Deputy Belan was so angry that Shao Jianhui said lazily, "Punching Dongshan nursing home and kicking Xihai kindergarten are the real natural enemies!"
The European delegates’ faces are long. "You, say, what, Yao! ?”
Shao Jianhui said, "Say you! A bunch of bullies! If it’s really so powerful, why don’t you fight with Mao Xiong and find Belan, a weak country that has just finished the war? "
