The situation on the Western Front did not look good, at least from the perspective of the retreating German troops.
As the last troop to retreat from the frontline, when Major Maynz led his troops to Daledon, there was already about a regiment of troops gathered there.
This was the 4th Infantry Regiment of Lusenbao that had retreated from Lusenbao. At this time, Lusenbao had already been occupied by the allied forces, and it was very likely that it would be independent from Hans in the future. Therefore, the fate of the 4th Infantry Regiment of Lusenbao was very likely to be disbanded.
However, they were not the only troops that would be disbanded. Maynz knew very well that the future Versailles treaty would impose extremely strict restrictions on Hans, especially the military restrictions on Hans. According to that standard, perhaps 98% of the troops would be disbanded.
Compared to the 4th Infantry Regiment, which was full of wounded soldiers and had low morale, the troops under Major Maynz's command were much more orderly. They didn't look defeated at all, but had an indescribable spirit. Although the 1st Battalion also had many wounded soldiers, they were all taken care of.
The broken flag carried by the flag guards looked even more majestic. The huge iron cross and the majestic black eagle flag made the soldiers of the 4th Infantry Regiment feel a lot of pressure. They couldn't help but stand up and look at the troop.
……
Daledon was just a small town with only 3,000 residents. Due to the war, most of the residents had fled, and the houses were destroyed by artillery fire.
After the 4th Infantry Regiment entered the town, they almost filled up the entire town. There wasn't much space left for them to station. The decadent and depressed aura of the 4th Infantry Regiment made Major Mayinz frown. He didn't want his men to stay with such a troop.
"Set up camp outside the city!"
Major Maynz quickly gave the order and led the troops around the city, setting up camp on the east side of the town.
"Hello, Major. I am the liaison officer of the legion. Are you Major Maynz of the First Infantry Guards?”
As soon as Maynz and his troops settled down outside Daledon, someone came to find them.
"Yes, I am. What's the matter?”
Major Mayinz looked at him with a puzzled look and answered quickly.
"That's great. I've finally found you. This is the order from the regimental commander.”
The liaison officer took out a document and handed it to Maynz. Maynz took it and glanced at it. It was a transfer order for him and his troops to be stationed in the western city of Bonn.
After checking and confirming that there were no problems, Major Mayinz signed his name on the document.
However, the liaison officer in front of him did not leave immediately. Seeing the other party's hesitation, Mayinz took the initiative to say,"Is there anything else? Lieutenant."
The first lieutenant's face turned red as he said in an embarrassed voice,""Major, can I have your autograph? Just sign here!"
He quickly took out a notepad and handed it to Maynz.
"An autograph?"
The other party's request made Mayinz feel a little stunned. He was just a major, not a high-ranking general. There were at least eight thousand majors like him in the army. Why would anyone want his autograph?
"Yes, yes, you are the hero of the empire, even though the empire no longer exists…"
The first lieutenant lowered his head, his eyes slightly red. Obviously, the news that the Second Empire no longer existed was still difficult for him to accept.
Instead of dwelling on the grief of the past, it was better to summon up the courage to move forward.
After writing down his name, Major Mayinz patted the lieutenant's shoulder and said,""The Empire will return. It will definitely return!”
……
After resting for a day in Daledon, Major Mayinz took his troops and set off by train the next day. They arrived in the western city of Bonn in the afternoon.
Born was once the capital of the Principality of Colombo. The city had a history of 2000 years and was one of the oldest cities in Hans.
Due to the war, the city of Bonn was in a very depressed state. The workers 'uprising in the capital, Bolin, quickly spread from the eastern region to the western region. The Ruhr industrial zone north of Bonn had the largest number of workers in the country. Once there was unrest there, it would be even worse for the already unstable Hans.
Two days ago, the Chief of Staff, Hindeburg, had reached an agreement with the newly established cabinet minister of the Republic, Frederick Ebert. Hindeburg represented the army in supporting the new Republic, and in return, Prime Minister Ebert continued to appoint Marshal Hindeburg as the Chief of Staff. He was also responsible for suppressing the domestic workers 'uprising and military rebellion.
After General Grenner returned from Bolin, Marshal Hindeburg began to mobilize troops to suppress the Bolsheviks in the country.
Major Maynz wasn't in the order at first, but before Hindeburg made his move, he thought of this young general who had repelled the enemy twice and still held his ground even when the entire army was retreating. Therefore, for some reason, the grand marshal of the empire personally issued an order to transfer a major.
Marshal Hindeburg did not know that his order had directly changed the fate of the entire Hans Kingdom and the history of the entire world.
