Surely the next Grand Vizier will turn things around :closedtongue:
Also, gotta say, the balls on that Bavarian are something else. But I suppose it comes with being young and ambitious
Im gonna put on my tinfoil hat and theorize that we are gonna see a big battle in Rome where the Senatorials will get stuck between Crassus remaining troops and an arriving Caesar
The thing is if Franco will think that prestige is worth getting into trouble with Goering, Mussolini and Stalin.
Unless the Allies just hand over the place as a gift with no strings attached in exchange for continued neutrality
The issue with Gibraltar is that although small, commands a very important position. Handing it back to Spain may be something London isnt willing to risk
The issue is that as far as Franco can see, continental Europe is under the Axis' stranglehold. Why would he hitch his horse to the Allied cause and risk Russo German Italian forces converging into Iberia when he can do what he did IOTL and milk concessions while maintaining neutrality?
