The Third Reich: The Return of the King

Mainz tried to persuade Marshal Hindenburg that although the strike hard could solve the problem of public order to a certain extent, it could only solve the superficial problem, but could not solve the fundamental problem.

The fundamental problem with the deterioration of public order lies in the fact that a large number of unemployed workers have lost the means to earn a living and are forced to do some risky things for their livelihood

If we want to solve this problem thoroughly, the best means is to develop the economy, improve jobs, and absorb the unemployed people in society.

However, in response to Mainz's question, Hindenburg replied to him as follows: "It is beyond the government's ability to quickly absorb these more than 4 million unemployed workers, and I am not unaware of what you are talking about, but I will not give any hope for the impossible!"

"However, if this continues, it will only temporarily suppress the problem, and it will break out sooner or later in the future, and once this problem breaks out, I am afraid that the backlash and damage will be much more serious than now!"

Mainz said worriedly!

Hindenburg stared at him for a few minutes, sighed, and said: "Even so, we only have this one choice, we can only push back the time of the outbreak, because now we, even if it breaks out, we can only digest it internally, and there is no way to transfer the contradiction, and if it drags on, maybe there will be a turnaround, do you understand?"

Hearing such an explanation, Mainz thoroughly understood the attitude of the old president.

What he meant by this was to wait for change, wait for the contradictions in the world to break out, and use the method of foreign war to spread out the contradictions within Hans, so as to reduce the damage to Hans himself as much as possible!

It seems that the mustache was not the only one who wanted to start the Second World War, and there were quite a few people in the upper echelons of Hans who thought like this, even President Hindenburg!

"Mainz, you must be curious, why do I want to promote and reuse you against all odds?"

"Because in you, I see myself when I was young, I see all the qualities that a perfect soldier should have, you represent the future of this country, even if it really comes to that point in the future, put the future of this country and this nation into your hands, our chances of victory will be greater, this is the last thing I can do for this country!"

To be honest, this remark caused a lot of shock to Mainz, and he did not expect that in the heart of President Hindenburg, he was so pessimistic about the future situation!

Although President Hindenburg's pessimism was justified from the perspective of a time-traveler, and what happened in the world later confirmed his speculations, his forward-looking vision in the era of 1921 was still awe-inspiring.

Sure enough, the people who can stand at the pinnacle of this era are not mediocre people!

"Go down, go down and prepare early, this time the thing is done, and it can maintain stability for at least 2-3 years!"

When President Hindenburg finished speaking, he looked very tired and waved his hand to signal Mainz to leave.

Mainz left the presidential office with a heavy heart, and before leaving the capital, he made a special trip to the Brandenburg Gate, the triumphal arch of the capital.

This retro-style building was built more than 130 years ago by King Frederick William II to commemorate the victory in the Seven Years' War and represents victory and glory.

And now, after the fiasco three years ago, this once glorious Arc de Triomphe is now particularly bleak and lonely.

Mainz even saw a beggar outside the Brandenburg Gate, dressed in an old white-washed military uniform that looked like a 1907 version of the German army's uniform.

In front of the beggar was a clean iron bowl, which Mainz recognized as the standard equipment of the German army, and even printed a letter from the unit to which the bowl belonged

Moving his gaze up to the beggar, Mainz soon noticed that the beggar had lost a leg, his right leg had been completely sawn off from below the knee, and the half-cut trouser tube looked empty and glaring.

The beggar is not very old, about 40-50 years old, and the reason why he cannot accurately judge the age of the other party is because the long-term begging has left a deep mark on his face, making him look much older than his actual age.

Mainz paused in front of him for a moment, thought for a moment, and then took out 200 marks from his pocket.

The value of the mark was very depreciated at this time, although the recent introduction of food from Romene and Eastern Europe has reduced the price of goods, but at this time, 20 marks can probably only buy two slices of bread.

Because he rarely used money, Mainz had almost no money on him, and 200 marks was about all the cash he had!

"I'm so sorry, there's only so much on me!"

Mainz said regretfully to the disabled veteran.

The veteran nodded: "Thank you, sir, for your generosity, God will favor a good man like you!"

The veteran said gratefully while collecting the money.

As he spoke, his brow furrowed, and his eyes fixed on Mainz.

"Sir, who are you?"

The muscles on the veteran's face began to twitch, as if he recognized who the person in front of him was.

He hurriedly clubbed his crutches and tried to stand up and salute Mainz, but because he was too weak, he not only failed to stand up, but almost fell.

Fortunately, Mainz was quick and helped the opponent before he fell, otherwise he would have broken his head or even fallen harder!

"Thank you, will...... What a nice man you are, sir!"

The veteran was very emotional, and from the words he almost slipped, Mainz judged that the other party had recognized him.

"You're welcome, it's my dereliction of duty to fail to take care of you who have meritorious service to the country!"

Mainz subconsciously glanced at the other party's empty trousers, and felt even more guilty.

It is indeed a dereliction of duty on the part of the army to let veterans who have sacrificed their lives for the country and made great contributions to live on the streets and are forced to beg, and he, the commander-in-chief of the three armed services, cannot escape the blame.

"You don't have to admire, it's not that the army's security is not in place, it's that I refused the army's pension!"

The disabled veteran's words made Mainz feel a little stunned, "Why do you want to do this?"

The other party has obviously reached the point where he can't take care of himself and his livelihood is extremely difficult, and he still doesn't accept the army's pension at this point, which makes him a little puzzled.

"I have participated in the war, I have seen a lot of wounded soldiers like me, we have no way to continue to fight for the country, if we continue to rely on the army, like a bloodsucking worm to suck up the army's already small military spending, I am afraid that the army will be difficult to have money to purchase equipment, to strengthen training, which will weaken our country's national defense strength, if there is no strong army, we will only become fish on the chopping board of other countries, can only be slaughtered, then there will be thousands of families like me, day and night!

"

The veteran's words made Mainz awe-inspiring, although the other party is a small person who is destined not to leave a name in history, but his insights and consciousness may exceed more than half of the country's civil servants!

"And I'm not completely out of the means to make a living, you see, I also paint for tourists who come here for sightseeing, and I also compose music for the nearby theater, all of which can earn money, and it is not a problem to support myself!"

The optimism of the veteran moved Mainz very much, and in this ordinary little person, he saw the resilience of this country, this nation!

"Thank you, Mr. Veteran!"

Mainz gave a military salute to the veteran, and the veteran also returned a military salute excitedly, but his body lost his balance and almost fell again!

"What are you going to do to my father??"

At this moment, a tall young man with blond hair and blue eyes ran next to him, and the man rushed to Mainz's side and was about to push him away, Mainz has been trained rigorously, and his body has developed an instinct to deal with danger.

So, without any suspense, the blonde young man was thrown to the ground in less than half a second!

"Oh my God, Heydrich, what are you doing!"

The veteran next to him let out an exclamation, and Mainz was also a little surprised.

He seemed to have heard just now that the man on the ground who had been put down by himself seemed to be called Heydrich?_
