"Hmph, don't ask too much. Major, remember your identity. You're just a major!”
After reading the report submitted by Major Mayinz, Marshal Hindeburg's expression was very ugly.
"What's wrong? Are you not convinced?"
After teaching him a lesson, the old marshal realized that the young major didn't say anything. He didn't explain his actions, nor did he react to the marshal's words. The old marshal raised his eyebrows and was a little angry.
"No, I'm not angry. I don't have the right to be angry!”
Major Maynz's tone was very calm, so calm that it was impossible to capture his true feelings from his tone.
This surprised Marshal Hindeburg. He had seen many people in his life, but it was rare to see someone as calm as Maynz at such a young age.
"It's good that you know!"
Hearing his words, Marshal Hindeburg heaved a sigh of relief.
Perhaps he felt that his tone was too harsh, so the old marshal changed his attitude and said to Mayinz earnestly,""Levinsky, you are still young. These things are not that simple. I also know that they want to send people to demolish Essen's Krupp factory, but we can't do anything about it.”
In the first week of December, the allied troops from Billy entered the Ruhr industrial zone. As soon as these people entered the Ruhr industrial zone, they began to plunder wantonly. They did not look like an army at all, but like a group of bandits. They plundered almost everything they could see.
As a world-famous large military enterprise, the Krupp factory in Essen was naturally not spared. The factory was violently demolished by 2000 French soldiers.
What was even more outrageous was that the Gauls were still not satisfied after demolishing the arsenal. They even sent people to arrest the owner of the Krupp factory, Gustav Krupp, and planned to send him back to the military court in Iron Tower City for trial.
Major Maynz couldn't stand it anymore, so he secretly led his men to knock out the Gaul soldiers who were escorting the prisoners and secretly hid Gustav Krupp. Now, the Gaul army was searching for the suspect all over the city and had already arrested nearly a hundred innocent people.
Of course, Major Maynz did not hide this from Marshal Hindeburg. Not only did he not hide it, but he also listed the names of many important arms dealers and weapon suppliers, asking the old marshal to send people to protect them. He could not let these people be lost in the actions of the allied forces.
Marshal Hindeburg didn't know about this beforehand. After he finished reading Major Maynz's report, he was shocked!
He knew that the Gaul army was domineering and ran amok in the Ruhr industrial zone. Every day, hundreds of people came to the barracks to complain to him, asking him to send troops to stop the French army.
However, Marshal Hindeburg remained unmoved by their pleas. It wasn't that he was a coward who didn't dare to offend the Gauls, but he knew very well that the Second Empire had been defeated. The Empire no longer existed, and they had long surrendered. Although he still had hundreds of thousands of troops under him, it was unrealistic to expect them to fight against the allied countries.
Because they no longer had a country to rely on to protect their military operations. Even if they could expel or even wipe out the tens of thousands of French troops in the Ruhr industrial zone, so what?
Millions of allied troops would charge over aggressively after these people were driven out. At that time, Hans would suffer even greater and more serious damage.
Since he was defeated, he had to bear the consequences of his defeat!
The old marshal knew this better than anyone else. After all, as the commander of the Guards during the Franco-Princes War 47 years ago, he had personally witnessed the actions of the German army in the Gaul capital, Iron Tower City.
Marshal Hindeburg sighed. He knew that the young man didn't have as much experience as he did. Moreover, the young man was hot-blooded and impulsive. He hadn't lost his edge over time.
He liked soldiers who were brave. After all, brave soldiers often had all the qualities of an excellent soldier.
However, sometimes, this kind of courage would harm them and even the country.
The old marshal was very optimistic about Major Mayinz's future, so he couldn't help but want to pass on his valuable experience to him so that he wouldn't take detours and grow as quickly as possible.
Among the veterans of his generation, Xiao Maoqi and Schliefen had long passed away. Marshal Mackensen was 69 years old, not much younger than him. His old partner, General Ludendorff, had a very happy cooperation with Marshal Hindeburg before 1918. The two of them worked together to defeat the arrogant Tsarist Russia on the Eastern Front, which directly led to the outbreak of a revolution within Tsarist Russia, which led to its demise.
However, their cooperation on the Western Front was not pleasant, especially when the counterattack plan after July 1918 was thwarted, resulting in a huge disagreement between the two. The strong-willed General Ludendorff resigned in anger. It was said that he had left Hans by boat yesterday and went to the Northern European country of Auspicious Point to take refuge.
In the First World War, most of the officers of the German army were old-school soldiers of the Prussian-Prussianist period. Their common feature was that they had experienced the Prussian-Austrian War, the Franco-Prussianist War, and many other wars in which Prussians had won brilliant victories in the past, so they had extremely rich war experience.
However, their biggest weakness was also due to this. These experienced old generals were almost all old. On the Eastern and Western battlefields, among the generals above the rank of commander of the army group, only a single digit was younger than 40 years old. Among them, there was also the existence of Emperor William II's son, Crown Prince William. It could be said that the senior generals of the entire German army were seriously aging!
The old marshal was deeply worried about this. He knew that the old guys would die sooner or later. The new generation had to replace the old guys before they withered. Otherwise, the military tradition passed down from the days of the Teuton Knights would be destroyed in their hands!
Under such circumstances, they even lost a world war. This made the future of the entire army uncertain. No one knew where the future would go, let alone the smooth progress of the replacement.
Faced with such a difficult task, the old marshal had to have sharp eyes and select the most outstanding talents to rebuild the army. Otherwise, this army with a glorious history and illustrious achievements would really be destroyed in the hands of their generation!
