"So, General, what do you mean?"
General Seekert finally told Mainz the truth of the matter, which made Mainz relieved. The other party telling him this not only represented the other party's trust in him, but also represented that the other party had his own Mainz was intrigued by the idea, and he wanted to know what exactly Sekter was going to do.
"Since the Odili people want to join Hans' big family, we naturally can't refuse, what do you think? Colonel Mainz?"
Sekter said to Mainz with a smile, and Mainz also smiled. The two of them have the same attitude on this matter!
"I fully comply with your arrangements, General!"
Mainz stood up straight, saluted a military salute, and left immediately, taking the 1st Guards Infantry Regiment on a train and setting off.
The turmoil in southern Hans and the chaos in Odili made the Allies pay great attention to the German army. The imperial government pretended to be concerned about the trends in the region and supported national self-determination.
But just when everyone was attracted by the events in the south of Hans, there were rumors in Eastern Europe! Here comes the big news – the Bears, supported by German arms, crossed the Kerch Strait and invaded the Crimean Peninsula at the end of August 1919, retaking this important area for the Bears! The news is of great significance to all European countries, and the people who never set the sun immediately became nervous.
The Crimean Peninsula is located in the northern part of the Black Sea and is known as the Pearl of the Black Sea.
For the bears who are in urgent need of access to the sea, the Crimean Peninsula is very important.
The position of Mao Xiong is extremely important.
Without it, Mao Xiong would not be able to rebuild the Black Sea Fleet.
Once here, Mao Xiong will have a bridgehead and fulcrum in the Black Sea, which can not only ensure the security of Mao Xiong's hinterland behind Crimea.
It is safe and can also be used as an advanced base for Mao Xiong to develop its navy in the future.
Allowing Mao Xiong to gain a foothold in Crimea means that Mao Xiong can vigorously develop the lower Volga River area with peace of mind and quickly regain its strength. Moreover, they Sooner or later, he will build a powerful fleet of his own in the Black Sea area and completely drive out the people who have come from afar. Compared to Odili, which is in the center of Europe, the Black Sea is obviously more important to the city.
, the Sun Never Sets Empire immediately shifted its focus and devoted a lot of energy to the counterattack against the Mao Xiong!
After losing the support of the Sun Never Sets, only Gaul and Italy were the only ones with a tough stance on the Allied Powers. The two countries were stunned.
Therefore, Hans, who had not had much hope of annexing Odili, seemed to have a glimmer of hope! In early
September, Mainz arrived at Rosenheim with his troops. The importance of Rosenheim 's position could be seen from above, but after he arrived here for actual inspection, he realized that although he had attached great importance to this mission, he still did not judge the situation well enough.
What he has in mind is much more important. Rosenheim's geographical location is also very unique: it is dependent on the Inn River, between Munich and Odili, at the foot of the Alps, and is the only way to Austria. It is also the southern gate of the Kingdom of Bavaria. Guarding here, the German army can advance, attack, retreat or defend. They can close the passage to Odili at any time, and they can also open this passage to intervene in Odili at any time.
"Lieutenant Goering, I heard that Rosenheim is your hometown, right?"
Standing on the top of a mountain at Lake Chiemsee east of Rosenheim, Colonel Mainz was observing the terrain in this area with a telescope.
Behind him was a tall German lieutenant with a resolute face. His name was Hermann Wilhelm Goering was the last commander of the famous Red Baron Wing of the German Air Force.
The German Air Force had been completely disbanded at this time.
According to the Treaty of Versailles, the German Army was not allowed to retain the Air Force, or even the Air Force.
The aircraft that could be equipped with weapons were completely dismantled, so the former air force wing was either completely disbanded or transferred to other units.
For example, Goering next to Mainz, he was in the Prussian Army Military Academy I had taken a cavalry course when I was a child, so I had some experience in cavalry combat.
Although Mainz's 1st Guards Infantry Regiment was not a cavalry unit, it did have a small cavalry reconnaissance company. This cavalry unit was natural. It needed an outstanding general to lead it, so Mainz used his connections to transfer some young generals he was optimistic about to his own army, and Lieutenant Goering was one of them.
"Yes, but I moved to Nuremberg when I was very young. Although Rosenheim is my birthplace, I didn't live here long!"
Compared with the powerful and domineering Göring in later generations, Göring at this time did not have so many problems. You can feel very obvious military qualities in him: focus, seriousness, rigor and perseverance!
Mainz knew that, The reason why Goering became what he became later was entirely due to the erosion of power. As the second-largest figure in the Third Reich, Goering had unimaginable power in his hands. A commoner who was not a nobleman suddenly had With such great power, it is normal for Göring's personality to be distorted.
However, Göring's poor performance later cannot deny his current ability. As a young general who dares to fight, is full of blood and has outstanding abilities, Göring is very suitable. Mainz's standards for judging talents, so he can get the same treatment as Guderian, Kesselring and others, and be promoted and trained by Mainz!
"oh? Is that so?"
Mainz has done some research on Goering's life experience and knows that his father was once a cavalry officer and diplomat.
However, Goering's father has passed away long ago, and the relationship between Goering and his father is not considered Well, on the contrary, Goering preferred his godfather, Knight Epstein.
After all, the latter was an upper-class person with a noble title.
Through him, Goering received more care and cultivation, and also experienced the life of the upper class.
Good life.
Perhaps this period of experience made Goering extremely thirsty for power and even changed his personality drastically!
"Then there should be some old friends in your family here in Rosenheim. I wonder if Lieutenant Goering can find some guides for me. I plan to go to the south and have a look! Goering raised his head and glanced at the lush mountain forests in the south and the towering Alps in the distance, and a question arose in his mind: What is Mr. Colonel going here for?
