The inspection of Mao Xiong lasted for a month, and Colonel Main even personally went to the battlefield to observe the battle of the Soviets.

The war that took place in the northern Caucasus was a war between the fifth army commanded by Hatuchevsky and the leader of the White Army, Denikin. When Gorchak was defeated, Denikin received strong support from Europe and the United States. A large number of weapons that were directly retired from the allied armies were sent to the White Army.

However, Denikin, who had received a lot of support, did not win. The Soviets under Tuchachevsky's command easily crushed Denikin's attack like cutting melons and vegetables.

This war was about half a year earlier than in history, and the initiator of the war was Mao Xiong. They probably wanted to show off their strength in front of their military partners and show off their muscles!

After all, the intelligence department of the Soviets had already found out about Colonel Maynz's identity when he arrived in Mosco. They knew that he was the confidant of Marshal Hindeburg, who was currently in power in Hans. Although Colonel Maynz was visiting Mao Xiong in his private capacity, Mao Xiong treated him as Marshal Hindeburg's spokesperson. Naturally, they attached great importance to his visit!

However, this kind of attention also provided a lot of convenience for Colonel Maynz. If it weren't for Mao Xiong's attention, the scale of receiving him would be much smaller, and it would be impossible to start a war six months in advance for him.

After observing the battle, Colonel Maynz gained a lot.

The strength of the Soviets in the battle was indeed impressive. Compared to the Russian army, the morale and discipline of the Soviets were clearly better. Their bravery in the battle was impressive.

The commander of the Soviets, Khatuchevsky, was also excellent. He had a good strategy, but he was not very sharp when it came to seizing opportunities. There were several times when there were better opportunities, but the Soviets did not seize them.

However, the performance of their opponent, the White Army, could only be described as clumsy!

To be honest, the Soviets weren't completely fine in the battle. They had many problems. For example, the Soviets lacked training, equipment, and the ability of their generals. Their tactics weren't flexible, and the coordination between the various armies needed to be improved. They had been out of sync several times in the battle. If they were facing an elite enemy at this time, then this mistake was likely to lead to the failure of the battle.

However, although Denikin's White Army was equipped with a large number of advanced weapons provided by the allied countries, their performance was very bad. Not only did they not capture the opportunity brought by the mistakes of the Soviets, but they also exposed more loopholes. These loopholes naturally did not escape Tukhachevsky's eyes. The Soviets seized the weaknesses of the White Army and launched a fierce pursuit of the White Army. In just five days, the two sides broke out in five fierce battles.

The White Army was at a disadvantage and wanted to retreat. However, Tukhachevsky did not give the other party the opportunity. The Soviets kept attacking the enemy's buttocks, causing the White Army to be defeated during the retreat.

The Soviets had suffered more than 20,000 casualties in the Battle of Caucasus and wiped out about 120,000 White troops. Denikin had suffered successive defeats and his strength had been greatly reduced. At this time, he had already fled to the Krimi region and was preparing to accumulate strength there.

If it weren't for the fact that the navies of the United Kingdom and the United States were powerful enough to help the White Army seal off the Kerch Strait, perhaps Dunikin's lair in Kerry would have been lost!

After watching the battle, Mayinz reevaluated the strength of the Soviets and the White Army.

Although he knew that the Soviets ended the civil war in 1922, he still had a glimmer of hope before he went to Mosco. He hoped that the civil war in Furious Bear would last longer, because as long as the civil war continued, Hans could continue to sell arms to Furious Bear and earn profits from the arms trade.

But seeing the current situation, Mayinz had to admit that the war was likely to end in two or three years.

However, in history, Mao Xiong's main enemy in the last period of the civil war changed from the White Army at home to the foreign intervention army, especially the Bolan armed by the allies.

Since the White Army in the Furious Bear Territory was so useless, it seemed that he should spend some effort on Bo Lan!

However, these things were not in a hurry. Colonel Maynz had already boarded the train to the Far East and was ready to go to the Far East for an inspection.

On June 22, 1919, when Colonel Maynz's train arrived in Yakutsk, a telegram from the Weimar Republic was delivered to him.

On June 21st, 1919, the High Seas Fleet of the Second Empire, which had been detained by the allied forces, carried out a tragic self-sinking operation in the military port of Sparka Bay in the territory of the Empire of the Sun Never Sets.

Under the leadership of Major General Reiter, almost all of the High Seas Fleet participated in the self-sinking operation. Before the people of Sun Never Sets noticed the German operation, a total of 54 main warships sank to the cold seabed of Scapa Bay.

This action shocked the whole world. The people of Sun Never Sets threw Major General Reiter, who led the operation, into prison and prepared to send him to the military court for trial according to the standards of war criminals in their country. The crime of trial was to destroy the property of the Royal Navy of Sun Never Sets.

In the eyes of the people of the Sun Never Sets, since the Second Empire had surrendered, the former High Seas Fleet was naturally the spoils of war of the Royal Navy. Although they might not be interested in these German warships, they were still the second most powerful navy in the world. Even if they did not like them, they would not let these warships fall into the hands of others.

Under such circumstances, the German soldiers actually sank all these warships. This naturally made the people of Sun Never Sets very unhappy. Who could be happy when the cooked ducks flew away?

In the Weimar Republic, the major newspapers reported on this incident. Der Spiegel even called Major General Allott and the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the High Seas Fleet national heroes!

The title of national hero and the deeds of the High Seas Fleet quickly spread throughout the country, which also pushed the dissatisfaction of Hans with the allied countries to a new height.

Due to this, the Iron Tower City Peace Conference, which had been quarreling for more than six months, entered an even more heated state!
