The Return of the King chapter 008

Marshal Hindenburg was very happy. A young major could have such knowledge and insights, which made the old guys feel a lot more at ease. At least he didn't worry about having no successors in the army when the old guys retired.

Of course, the kind of person who can only talk but not do will definitely not fall into his eyes. Major Mainz's outstanding performance in the Bastogne area has greatly increased his status in the heart of Marshal Hindenburg.

In Marshal Hindenburg's view, such young people may become the hope of the future of the imperial army.

This world war lasted for four years. The protracted war caused huge damage to the entire country. The wealth that had been accumulated for decades or even hundreds of years since the Kingdom of Prussia was destroyed in just one war. All lost.

Moreover, once the Allied Powers sign a post-war treaty with Germany, they will definitely be burdened with astronomical war compensation. Under such circumstances of internal and external troubles, rebuilding the empire's military strength will be a very, very long process, and it is very likely that It takes years or even decades!

Marshal Hindenburg is 72 years old this year. Seventy-year-old people are rarely born in ancient times. Basically, half of a seventy-year-old person's body is buried in the soil. He doesn't know when he will die with a kick of his legs, so he is probably watching. The day will come when the Imperial Army will be rebuilt.

Therefore, such an important task must naturally be handed over to a young general like Major Mainz who is young and promising, capable and responsible.

Thinking of this, Marshal Hindenburg secretly made up his mind, and he planned to cultivate and promote the young man in front of him.

It is even planned to transfer him to the General Staff Headquarters after the peace conference in Iron Tower City is over.

According to the habits of Prussian soldiers, only generals who have work experience in the staff department can have comprehensive and outstanding abilities, and their work experience in the staff department can also enable them to acquire strategic capabilities. This can be regarded as a truly outstanding general.

Therefore, sending young generals to the staff department is definitely a way of valuing and nurturing them.

It is precisely because they know the characteristics of the German army that historically in the Treaty of Versailles, the Allies required the German army to disband the staff and did not allow the German army to have such an organization.

Although Marshal Hindenburg was very optimistic about the young man who was the spy, he did not forget his mission because of this incident.

The task he received was to suppress the domestic workers' uprising and help the Weimar Republic stabilize the domestic situation.

Now that Major Mainz has brought the army, he should be sent to the Ruhr Industrial Area to suppress the workers' uprising. He can also take a close look at the level of this young man.

So, that night, the First Battalion in Mainz received an order to go north to Dortmund, a major town in the Ruhr Industrial Area.

...

After the first industrial revolution, the booming development of industry led to the emergence of a large number of factories across Europe, and these factories also recruited a large number of workers during production operations, which made worker power throughout Europe begin to flourish.

From the Tower City Commune Movement in 1871 to the October Revolution in Tsarist Russia in 1917, the European working class movement began to surge.

The First World War not only severely weakened the national power of the Second Empire, but also exposed many social problems because of the war.

When the Second Empire fell apart due to defeat, the domestic labor movement reached its peak. Large-scale labor movements emerged from the naval port in the northwest, to the capital Berlin, and even the Ruhr Industrial Area.

Among these people, due to the influence of the October Revolution in Tsarist Russia, the activities of Bolshevik organizations were particularly rampant.

Neither the bourgeoisie represented by the Weimar Republic nor the military class represented by the Junkers could tolerate the working class being above them. Therefore, it was very normal for the military and the government to reach an agreement to jointly suppress the workers' uprising. Something happened.

Although from the heart of Major Mainz, he did not want to point the gun in his hand at his compatriots, but if he did not do so, the country would not be able to stabilize in a short time, and social unrest and war would It could completely tear the country apart or even plunge it into a long war.

The Germanic nation has experienced extremely painful civil wars in its long history. Whether it was the Thirty Years' War in the 17th century or the melee after the collapse of the Holy Roman Empire, they all brought great pain to this nation, so in order to The best way to avoid this situation is to quickly and effectively quell the workers' uprising and stabilize the society. In this case, the lives of thousands of innocent people can be saved.

So after receiving the order, he immediately led his troops north by train and entered the Ruhr Industrial Area

[The system prompts that the main mission of rebuilding the empire has been released, please pay attention to the host to check it out! ]

When arriving at the Ruhr Industrial Area, the system released the first main mission, which refreshed Mainz.

There are naturally rewards when there are tasks, and at this time, he especially needs system rewards. Whether it is reward skills, skill points, or even reward system funds, they are all very valuable to him. After all, the war is over. , I'm afraid there won't be many tasks to do next.

After entering the system and opening the system tasks column, a new task marked with a yellow exclamation mark appeared in front of him.
