The Third Reich: The Return of the King

The inspection of the woolly bear lasted for a month, and Colonel Mainz even went to the battlefield to observe the battle of the Soviet army.

The war that took place in the northern Caucasus was a war between Hatuchevsky's Fifth Army and the White Guard leader Denikin, who received strong support from Europe and the United States at the time of Kolchak's retreat, and a large number of weapons directly retired from the Allied armies were sent to the White Army.

However, Denikin, who received a lot of support, failed to win, and the Soviet army commanded by Tukhachevsky easily crushed Denikin's offensive like chopping melons and vegetables.

This war was about half a year earlier than in history, and the initiator of the war was the hairy bear, probably to show their strength and show their muscles in front of their military partners!

After all, the intelligence department of the Soviet army had already found out Colonel Mainz's identity when he arrived in Mosco, and knew that he was the confidant of Field Marshal Hindenburg, the current Hans real power figure

However, this attention also provided Colonel Mainz with considerable convenience, and without the attention of the woolly bear, the reception of him would have been much smaller, and it would not have been possible to provoke war six months in advance for him.

After observing the war, Colonel Mainz gained a lot.

The strength of the Soviet army in the battle is indeed impressive, compared with the army of Tsarist Russia, the morale and military discipline of the Soviet army at this time is obviously better, and the bravery they showed in the battle is impressive.

And the command of the Soviet general Hatutchevsky is also extremely good, this guy's strategic situation is very good, the capture of fighters is not so keen, there are several times there are actually better opportunities, but the Soviets did not seize it.

However, as their opponents, the performance of the White Army can only be described as clumsy!

To be honest, the Soviet army is not completely without problems in the battle, they have exposed many problems, such as the lack of training of the Soviet army, the shortage of equipment, the ability of the grassroots generals is relatively poor, the tactics are not flexible, the cooperation between the armies needs to be improved, they have been disjointed several times in the battle, if they are facing an elite enemy at this time, then this mistake is likely to lead to the defeat of the battle.

However, although Denikin's White Army was equipped with a large number of advanced weapons provided by the Entente, this group of people behaved very badly, not only did they not seize the opportunity brought by the Soviet army's mistakes, but they themselves exposed more loopholes, which naturally did not escape Tukhachevsky's eyes, and the Soviet army seized the flaws of the White Army and launched a fierce pursuit of the White Army, and in just five days, five fierce battles broke out between the two sides.

The White Army started the war unfavorably, so they wanted to retreat, but Tukhachevsky did not give the other side this opportunity, and the Soviet Army continued to attack the enemy's buttocks, resulting in a rout of the White Army on the way to retreat, and it was even more rout.

In the battle of the Caucasus, the Soviet army suffered more than 20,000 casualties and annihilated about 120,000 white troops.

If it weren't for the navies of Britain and the United States and other countries to help the White Army block the Kerch Strait, I'm afraid that Denikin's nest in Crimea would not have been saved!

After observing this battle, Mainz mentally reassessed the strength of the Soviet and White armies.

Although Mainz knew that the Soviet army had completely ended the civil war in 1922, before going to Mosco, he still had a trace of expectation in his heart, hoping that the civil war would last longer, because as long as the woolly bear continued the civil war, then Hans could continue to sell arms to the woolly bear and make a profit from the arms trade.

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

However, the main enemy of the woolly bear in the final period of the civil war in history changed from the white army at home to the intervention army abroad, especially the pineorchid armed by the Allied powers.

Since the white army in the territory of the woolly bear is so useless, then it looks like it is time to put some thought into the pineland!

However, there was no hurry in these matters, and Colonel Mainz had already taken the train to the Far East at this time, ready to go to the Far East for an investigation.

On June 22, 1919, just as Colonel Mainz's train arrived in Yakutsk, a telegram arrived at him from the Weimar Republic.

On June 21, 1919, the High Seas Fleet, which had been seized by the Allied forces, carried out a tragic self-sinking operation in the Spaca Bay military port on the home of the Empire.

Under the leadership of Rear Admiral Reut, the High Seas Fleet was almost entirely involved in the self-sinking operation, and a total of 54 capital warships sank in the icy seabed of Sparka Bay before the sun could not set on the German movement.

The action shocked the world, and the Sunless threw Rear Admiral Reut, who led the operation, into prison to prepare him for trial in his home country as a war criminal, and he was tried for the destruction of the Royal Navy's property.

In the eyes of the people who never set, since the Second Reich has surrendered, then the former High Seas Fleet is naturally a trophy belonging to the Royal Navy, although they may not look down on these German warships, but these are the second most powerful navy in the world after all, even if they don't look down, they will not let these warships fall into the hands of others.

And in this case, the German soldiers actually sank all these warships, which naturally made the sun not set people very unhappy, and the boiled duck flew, who could be happy?

In the Weimar Republic, the event was covered in major newspapers, and Der Spiegel even called Rear Admiral Reutte and tens of thousands of officers and men of the High Seas Fleet national heroes

The title of national hero and the deeds of the High Seas Fleet soon spread throughout the country, and the dissatisfaction of Hans with the Entente was pushed to new heights.

Affected by this, the Iron Tower City Peace Conference, which has been arguing for more than six months, has entered a more white-hot level!
