The Spanish People's Army.

"The Loyalist army must have improved considerably since the beginning of the invasion," I suggested.

"Since it first went into action a little over twelve months ago (I mean the properly re-organised Spanish Army) It has never suffered a major defeat. Remember Brihuega and the storming of Brunete? Brunete had never been captured before by an invading force—even Napoleon couldn't do it. The equipment is there now, too. Barcelona is manufacturing guns, rifles, tanks (as many as 15 a day) and aeroplanes as well.
