The Third Reich: The Return of the King

Field Marshal Hindenburg was very happy that a young major could have this knowledge and opinion, which made them feel a lot more at ease, at least he was not worried that there would be no successor in the army when they retired.

Of course, the kind of person who can only say but can't do will certainly not be able to get into his eyes, and Major Mainz's previous outstanding performance in the Bastone area has greatly increased his status in the heart of Field Marshal Hindenburg.

In the eyes of Field Marshal Hindenburg, such a young man may become the hope of the future of the imperial army.

This world war lasted for four years, and the protracted war caused great damage to the entire country, and the family wealth accumulated from the Kingdom of Prussia for decades or even hundreds of years was completely defeated in a single war.

Moreover, once the Entente signed a post-war treaty with Germany, they would definitely be saddled with astronomical war reparations, and in such a situation of internal and external troubles, it would be a very, very long thing to rebuild the military power of the empire, and it would probably take years or even decades!

Field Marshal Hindenburg is 72 years old this year, and his life is rare for seventy years, and a seventy-year-old man has basically buried half of his body in the soil, and he does not know when he will return to the west with a kick on his legs, so he may not see the day when the imperial army will be rebuilt.

Therefore, such a heavy responsibility should naturally be entrusted to a young and promising, capable and responsible young general like Major Mainz.

Thinking of this, Field Marshal Hindenburg secretly made up his mind, he planned to cultivate and promote the young man in front of him.

It was even planned that after the peace meeting in Tower City ended, he would be transferred to the General Staff to work.

According to the habit of Prussian soldiers, only generals who have worked in the general staff can have comprehensive and outstanding ability, and the work experience in the staff can also enable them to acquire strategic ability, which can be regarded as a truly excellent general.

Therefore, sending young generals to the staff is definitely an emphasis and cultivation on them.

It is precisely because of the knowledge of the characteristics of the German army that in the Treaty of Versailles in history, the Entente countries would demand that the German army disband the general staff and not allow the German army to have such an organization.

Although Field Marshal Hindenburg was very optimistic about the young man in his eyes, he did not forget his mission because of this incident.

He was tasked with suppressing the workers' uprising in the country and helping to stabilize the situation in the Weimar Republic.

Since Major Mainz had come with the army, it would be better to send him to the Ruhr industrial area to suppress the workers' uprising, and he could also take a closer look at what level this young man really was.

So, that night, the 1st Battalion of Mainz received an order to go north to Dortmund, an important town in the Ruhr industrial region.

......

After the First Industrial Revolution, the boom in industry led to the emergence of a large number of factories all over Europe, and these factories also recruited a large number of workers in the production operation, which made the worker power throughout Europe begin to flourish.

From the Irontower Commune Movement in 1871 to the October Revolution in Tsarist Russia in 1917, the European working class movement began to surge.

The First World War not only severely weakened the Second Reich, but also exposed many social problems as a result of the war.

At a time when the Second Reich was falling apart due to the defeat of the war, the labor movement in the country reached its peak, from the naval port in the northwest, to the capital Bolin, and even to the Ruhr industrial region.

Among these people, the activities of the Bolshevik organizations were particularly rampant because of the influence of the October Revolution in Tsarist Russia.

Neither the bourgeoisie represented by the Weimar Republic nor the military class represented by the Junker aristocracy could tolerate the overriding of the working class, so it was only natural for the military and the government to come to an agreement to suppress the workers' uprising.

Although Major Mainz did not want to turn his gun on his compatriots, if he did not do so, the country would not be able to stabilize in a short period of time, and social unrest and war could tear the country apart completely and even plunge into a long war.

The Germanic peoples have had extremely painful civil wars in their long history, whether it was the Thirty Years' War in the seventeenth century or the melee after the collapse of the Holy Roman Empire, which brought great suffering to the nation, so the best way to avoid this situation is to quickly and forcefully quell the workers' uprisings and stabilize the society, which can save the lives of thousands of innocent people.

So after receiving the order, he immediately led his troops north by train into the Ruhr industrial area.

[The system prompts that the main quest to rebuild the empire has been released, please pay attention to the host!].

When we arrived in the Ruhr industrial area, the system released the first main quest, which lifted Mainz's spirits.

There are tasks that naturally have rewards, and at this time he especially needs the rewards of the system, whether it is reward skills, skill points, or even reward system funds, which are very valuable to him, after all, the war is over, and I am afraid there will not be too many tasks to do next.

Enter the system, open the system tasks column, and a new task marked with a yellow exclamation mark appears in front of him.
