What is the benefit of this? Lowering the risk of a military coup?
possibly? or at least it may be a way to prevent any of them from capturing the leadership (like the praetorian guard would often).
or it may just be somehow the nature of fascism. i dunno.
come to think of it, did all fascist countries do this? did mussolini? did franco? did south korea? japan? so maybe it's got nothing to do with fascism.
Mussolini did it with the blackshirts and the army, Japan had an absurd level of rivalry between the army and the navy. Franco, on the other hand, pretty successfully integrated together the army and various feuding militias. Maybe that's why he managed to win, unlike most other fascists.
well, he also didnt start a war with the entire world, unlike the others. he wanted spain, and when he got it, he sat on it. franco knew when to quit.
He negotiated with Germany about joining WWII, but didn't like their conditions.
Didn't they lose some critical battle specifically because they weren't sharing intelligence or something like that
