Chapter 834: Italy-France Game_3

As for threatening France with war, that was only the last resort, neither the German nor Italian government would do so in the short term.

In the plans of the German and Italian governments, they would contemplate taking action against the Frenchmen only after they had won the Spanish Civil War and secured Spain as a fairly strong ally.

By then, with the deployment of forces from Germany, Italy, and Spain, the French would have to face military pressure from all three sides, which would stretch the French Army thin.

If they could capture French native land, France's vast colonies would become leaderless territories.

Thus, a large colonial empire would crumble without a fight, and Germany would become the strongest country on the European continent, the true hegemon of Europe.

Although public opinion pressure did not make the French government concede, it was forced to disclose the number of fighter aircraft sold to the Spanish Republic, a total of 120.
