Dortmund was the largest and most important industrial city in the eastern part of the Ruhr industrial zone. The city had a population of 150,000 before the war and was the fifth largest city in Germany.
In the south of the Urban area, near the Ruhr River, huge chimneys were continuously releasing waste gas from steel and coal factories into the sky. A large amount of industrial sewage flowed directly into the Ruhr River along the sewer, causing the entire Ruhr River to be filled with a pungent smell.
Like other industrial cities in Europe, Ormond's environmental pollution was very serious. Although it was not as serious as the city of Fog, just like the River Thames in Fog City, almost all the rivers in the Rhine region that flowed through industrial cities were polluted.
On the afternoon of November 15th, a group of soldiers escorted a few prisoners wearing hoods to the Ruhr River, ready to shoot them.
"Any last words?"
After interrogating these Bolsheviks, Major Maynz had basically figured out the organizational structure and contact information of these people.
At this time, the entire city had basically settled down. The follow-up army was about to escort the newly appointed officials of the Republic to take over, so these people were useless.
Major Maynz pulled out his gun from his holster. It was a brand new Luger 08 pistol, the first semi-automatic pistol. It seemed like he was going to use this pistol to kill the person in front of him.
"Hmph, there's no end to the Bolsheviks!”
A determined Bolsheviks struggled and shouted.
" Long live the great Old Ma, the great Lie…"
Bang!
With the crisp sound of gunfire, the noisy crowd stopped abruptly.
Major Maynz stared coldly at the middle-aged man who had left a deep impression on him and slowly raised his gun.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me. As long as you let me go, I'll do anything!”
The death of his companion frightened the middle-aged man. When he saw the black muzzle of the gun in the hands of the mayor, he immediately peed his pants. At this time, he no longer cared about lofty ideals and lofty aspirations. The human instinct to survive made him almost subconsciously beg for mercy.
"Oh? Let you off? Give me a reason to convince me to let you go!”
Major Mayinz sneered and looked down at the middle-aged man. His gaze was as cold as a blade, making the middle-aged man shudder.
"As long as you let me go, I, I can tell you the list of other people who have been assigned to participate in this operation in the Ruhr industrial zone!”
Major Mayinz stared at the middle-aged man for a long time. Just when the middle-aged man felt that he was dead for sure and was in complete despair, the major smiled."Deal!"
……
With the clues provided by the insiders, in the next few days, the German army easily arrested the Bolsheviks who had infiltrated the Ruhr industrial zone. In less than ten days, the situation in the main cities of the Ruhr industrial zone, including Dortmund and Essen, had calmed down.
November 25th, Ruhr Industrial Zone, Essen City.
In the evening, on the banks of the Forest River in the southwest of Essen, Major Maynz stood by the river and quietly looked into the distance. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Major, are we really going to let this guy go?”
Second Lieutenant Grus, the platoon leader of the security platoon, asked in confusion. In his opinion, these Bolsheviks who took advantage of the country's turmoil to run around and incite workers to revolt and riot were all bad people. They should all be killed.
Major Mayinz turned around and looked at the second lieutenant. He said,""In the east, on the ruins of Russia, a red country was born. It is said that all the people there are red elements. There are tens of millions of them.”
The second lieutenant was flabbergasted. He opened his mouth and did not know how to answer.
At this moment, a few soldiers escorted the middle-aged man who had encouraged the workers in the square to the side of Mayinz.
"Take off his blindfold!"
In order to avoid unnecessary conflict, the soldiers covered the middle-aged man's eyes along the way. However, it was no longer necessary at this time because Maynz decided to let him go.
"You, are you really going to let me go?”
After the blindfold was removed, the middle-aged man took a long time to see the situation around him. When he saw a small boat parked by the river beside Major Main, he immediately understood something.
Seeing that the other party was really going to fulfill his promise and let him go, the middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief. Although they had indeed reached an agreement before, whether the other party fulfilled the agreement was completely out of his control. Therefore, he had been worried for the past ten days that the other party would break the agreement and kill him.
"Your information is very accurate and has provided us with a lot of help!”
Major Mayinz ignored the question and glanced at the middle-aged man with messy hair and a haggard face.
"The fact that you provided us with information is only known to the heavens and the earth. Of course, if I'm willing, your comrades will soon know too!”
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face.
On the way, his biggest worry was whether the German army would kill him. The second worry was that if the German army fulfilled their promise and released him, he would be hunted down by the organization for betraying the revolution.
At this time, Major Mayinz's words solved his worries. Of course, this weakness was left in Major Mayinz's hands. As long as he wanted to, he could destroy the middle-aged man's reputation at any time!
The major continued," I heard that the Red Bears are short of weapons and ammunition. They are having a hard time facing the White Army's attack. When you go back, tell them that we have a large amount of weapons and equipment here. If they want it, they can send someone to contact us. It's best if you come yourself. Do you understand?”
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he subconsciously said,""Are you going to sell arms to the Soviets?”
