Since he had already decided to go abroad for an investigation, he had to settle down in the country before going abroad!
At the beginning of June, Colonel Mayenz returned to the capital, Bolin. He found the dean of Bolin Military College, Major General Wimbledon, and handed him a sum of money.
"Colonel, is this the military's funding?”
Old Wimbledon held the money in his hand, his hands trembling.
This was not only because the money in his hands was very heavy (what Mayinz gave him was not the heavily depreciated Mark, but directly gold), but also because he could not suppress the joy in his heart after being saved. His hands could not help but tremble.
"Yes, this is the support the army is giving you. I hope you can grit your teeth and persevere. This money is not much, but it should be able to support you for a period of time!”
Colonel Maynz didn't tell the truth. This was not actually the military's funding. The army was so poor that it needed large-scale disarmament to maintain itself. How could it have the money to support the military academies in various places?
The real source of the money came from an account called BMW Company. The actual owner of this company, which had been established less than three years ago, was standing in front of the old Major General Wimbledon!
Taking advantage of the opportunity to quell the workers 'uprising in the Ruhr industrial zone, Colonel Mayinz secretly established trade relations with the bear-people.
The bearman he had released had reported the news to him after returning to the bear.
After receiving this news, the upper echelons of the hairy bear clan paid great attention to it.
The hairy bear in 1919 was in an extremely difficult situation.
After the October Revolution, they had been facing a huge crisis of life and death.
After the red bear established its regime, it had been facing the encirclement and suppression of various domestic forces. This situation became even more severe after the end of the first world war. A large number of foreign forces and even the army began to be involved in the civil war of the red bear.
With the support of the allied countries, the White Army government, which was based in White Russia, began to launch a civil war against the hairy bear. This civil war was extremely intense from the beginning.
Although the red bear's army controlled Petrograd and Mosco, most of the country was still in the hands of the enemy. Coupled with the naval blockade of the United States and the United Kingdom, the red bear was currently completely trapped in a huge encirclement.
The White Army and the foreign intervention troops outside the encirclement were tightening the nooses around their necks step by step, trying to strangle this newborn red country in the cradle.
At the beginning of the war, the situation was quite unfavorable for the Red Army. Due to the lack of specially educated and trained officers to command and organize, the Red Army was lax in organization, lacked combat experience, and had low combat effectiveness. It was simply unable to suppress the White Army, which was composed of professional soldiers such as officers, military academy cadets, and Cossacks.
During the Russian period, the civilians of the entire country were called the gray livestock of the tsar. These people had no chance of becoming high-ranking generals in the army, and most of the officers above the middle and upper ranks were controlled by the Russian nobles.
Naturally, these people would not join an enemy who was trying to destroy their own class. They joined the White Army and participated in the encirclement and suppression of the red bear, bringing great trouble to the Red Army, which lacked officers and generals.
The civil war began in 1917 and lasted for two years. The red bear paid a huge price. In the war, more than 1.5 million soldiers were killed or injured. The farmers and workers who supported them in the areas they ruled also suffered more than five million casualties!
Moreover, the areas where the war broke out between the two sides were basically concentrated in the elite areas with large populations and developed industries. Obviously, everyone knew the important value of these industrial zones and wanted to take them for themselves!
Such a large-scale war, coupled with the destruction caused by repeated battles, had destroyed the industrial base that was built with great difficulty during the Russian period. Mao Xiong had directly transformed from a semi-industrial country into a backward agricultural country.
The direct impact of this outcome was that both the Soviets and the White Army were unable to produce weapons and equipment because their factories were destroyed, resulting in a shortage of weapons.
Faced with such a situation, the White Army could still purchase weapons and equipment from the allied countries. After all, World War I had just ended, and a large amount of equipment that had been withdrawn from the front line needed to be cleaned up. The White Army happened to have a need, and the two sides hit it off. These weapons were sent to the White Army by the allied countries.
Of course, in exchange, the White Army gave a large amount of gold and silver to the allied countries. They also signed many unfair agreements and sold out a large amount of national interests.
To the White Army, as long as they could win the war, they would be able to take whatever they lost from the gray animals in the country. As for the national interest, it did not matter as long as they could protect their own interests!
But for the Soviets, they faced the blockade of the allied countries and did not even have the opportunity to sell their national interests in exchange for weapons and equipment.
Under such circumstances, Mao Xiong, who was in desperate need of weapons and equipment, was naturally overjoyed to meet a country that was willing to sell them weapons and equipment!
Therefore, after this matter was reported, it immediately attracted the attention of the higher-ups of Mao Xiong. Not only was the Bolsheviks released by Colonel Mayinz not held accountable, but they were even promoted and returned to De Yizhi with a new mission from the organization.
"Hey, my old friend, we meet again!”
When he saw the middle-aged man again, Colonel Maynz almost couldn't recognize him.
After half a year, he had changed a lot. His temperament had become more obvious, as if he had experienced many things. This made Maynz interested in his experience, so he couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Just as the colonel was sizing up the other man, the middle-aged man was also sizing up the colonel himself.
The last time he saw Mayinz, he was just a major with a few hundred soldiers. However, after half a year, Mayinz had been promoted to colonel. The middle-aged man was surprised by the speed of his promotion.
If it was during the war, this kind of thing would be understandable. There were many young officers in the Soviets who were promoted very quickly. The more famous one was Buzny. This young general who was only a small cavalry commander half a year ago had now become the commander of the Soviets 'First Cavalry Army. His promotion speed caused a heated discussion within the Soviets.
Major Maynz was able to get such a promotion without a war. This meant that he either had a strong background or outstanding strength!
The middle-aged man obviously believed the latter!
