Now that you have decided to go abroad for inspection, you must settle your domestic affairs before going abroad!
In early June, Colonel Mainz returned to Berlin, the capital. He found the dean of the Berlin Military Academy, the old Major General Wimble, and handed him a sum of funds.
"Colonel, is this an appropriation for the military?"
Old Wimble held the money in his hands, his hands trembling a little.
This was not only because of the heavy weight of the money in his hands (Mainz did not give Marks, which had been severely devalued at this time, but directly gave gold), but also because It was because of the uncontrollable joy in his heart after being saved that his hands couldn't help but tremble.
"Well, this is the support the army gives you. I hope you can grit your teeth and persevere. The money is not much, but it should last for a while!"
Colonel Mainz did not tell the truth. This is not actually an allocation for the army. The army is now so poor that it needs large-scale disarmament to maintain it. How can it have money to support military academies in various places? The truth of this money The source actually comes from an account called BMW, and the actual owner of this company, which was established less than three years ago, is standing in front of the old Major General Wimble.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to put down the workers' uprising in the Ruhr Industrial Zone, Colonel Mainz secretly established trade relations with the Mao Bear Man. After the Mao Bear Man who was released by him returned to Mao Xiong, he reported the news that Mainz had leaked to him.
The top management of Mao Xiong attached great importance to Mao Xiong. In
1919, Mao Xiong was in an extremely difficult situation.
After the October Revolution, they had been facing a huge life and death crisis.
After the establishment of the political power, Mao Xiong had been facing various domestic forces. The encirclement and suppression, and this situation became more serious after the end of World War I. A large number of foreign forces and even the army began to be involved in the civil war of Mao Xiong.
With the support of the Allied Powers, the White Army was formed based on White Russia. The military government began to launch a civil war against the Bear. This civil war was extremely fierce from the beginning.
Although the Red Bear's army controlled Petrograd and Moscow, most of the country was still in the hands of the enemy.
, coupled with the naval blockade by Britain and the United States and other countries, the red fur bears are currently completely trapped in a huge encirclement, and the White Army and foreign intervention forces outside the encirclement are tightening their necks step by step.
At the beginning of the war, the situation was quite unfavorable to the Red Army.
Due to the lack of specially educated and trained officers to command and organize, the Red Army troops were disorganized, lacked combat experience, and had low combat effectiveness.
They were low and unable to suppress the White Army, which was composed of professional soldiers such as officers, cadets, and Cossacks.
During the Tsarist Russia, the entire country's civilians were called the Tsar's gray cattle. It was impossible for these people to become the army. Most of the senior generals and officers in middle and senior positions were controlled by the nobles of Tsarist Russia.
It was naturally impossible for these people to join an enemy who was trying to eliminate their own class. They joined the White Army and participated in the battle against the red bear. In the encirclement and suppression battle, the Red Army, which lacked officers and generals, brought huge troubles.
Starting from the civil war in 1917, the war lasted for two years. The red bear paid a huge price and suffered more than 150 casualties in the war. Tens of thousands of troops ruled the area, and the farmers and workers who supported them also suffered more than five million casualties!
Moreover, the areas where war broke out between the two sides were basically concentrated in the elite areas with large populations and developed industries. Obviously, everyone Knowing the important value of these industrial areas, everyone wants to take it as their own!
And a war of this scale, coupled with the destruction caused by repeated battles, has destroyed the little industrial foundation that was finally established during the Tsarist Russia. It was a mess, and Mao Xiong transformed from a semi-industrialized country into a backward agricultural country.
The direct impact of this outcome was that both the Soviet Army and the White Army were unable to produce weapons and equipment because their factories were damaged. This resulted in a shortage of weapons.
Faced with this situation, the White Army could also purchase weapons and equipment from the Allied Powers. After all, World War I had just ended, and a large number of equipment that had been withdrawn from the front line needed to be cleared. The White Army happened to have the demand, and the two sides hit it off, and these weapons were The Allies passed into the hands of the White Army.
Of course, in exchange, the White Army gave the Allies a large amount of gold and silver, signed many unequal treaties, and sold a large amount of the entire Mao Xiong's national interests.
For the White Army, as long as they can win the war, what they lose can be plundered from those gray animals across the country. As for the national interests, it doesn't matter, as long as they can protect their own interests!
But for the Soviet army, facing the blockade of the Allied Powers, they did not even have the opportunity to sell their national interests in exchange for weapons and equipment support.
In this case, the bears who are in urgent need of weapons and equipment are naturally overjoyed and wishful thinking when they meet a country that is willing to sell weapons and equipment to them!
Therefore, after this matter was reported, it immediately attracted the attention of the top management of Mao Xiong. Not only was the Bolshevik released by the Mainz colonel not held accountable, but he was promoted to a noble rank and returned again with new organizational tasks. Returned to Deyi Zhi
"Hi my old friend, we meet again!"
When he saw this middle-aged man again, Colonel Mainz almost didn't recognize him.
After not seeing each other for half a year, the man had changed greatly, and the temperament on his body became more obvious, as if he had experienced many things.
Likewise, this made Mainz interested in his experience, so he couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
While Colonel Mainz was looking at the other person, the middle-aged man was also looking at the colonel he saw last time.
When we were in Mainz, Mainz was just a major battalion commander with hundreds of people.
But after half a year without seeing him, Mainz was actually promoted, and he even skipped one level and was directly promoted to colonel.
This This kind of promotion speed surprised the middle-aged man.
If it was the war years, this kind of thing would be reasonable. There were also many young officers in the Soviet army who were promoted very quickly. The more famous one was Budyonny, who was a senior officer six months ago. The young general who was known as the commander of a small cavalry regiment had now become the commander of the Soviet First Cavalry Army. His promotion was so fast that it aroused heated discussion within the Soviet army.
However, Major Mainz was in the army before the war. Under such circumstances, he can still get such a promotion, which shows that the other party either has a strong background or has extremely outstanding strength!
The middle-aged man obviously believes in the latter!
