Chapter 82 - 82

"Oh, so many people?"

I just returned to Munich, and before I could enter the city, I saw a large number of Munich citizens holding Hans' flags and enthusiastically welcoming the returning German troops.

"General, you don't know that you are now a famous big shot in the country!"

The military officer in charge of the reception proudly straightened his chest and said very proudly.

This time Odili was able to return to the Hans family thanks to the heroic fighting of the German army. If it weren't for General Mainz, If they unexpectedly bypassed the surveillance of the Allied Powers and entered Odili, Odili would definitely have been defeated by the Allied Powers at this time!

A complete and unimpaired Odili with a land of 120,000 square kilometers and a population of 12 million.

Returning to the Hans family is of great significance to the entire Hans.

With the strong complement of Odili's coal and iron mines, they can reverse the passive situation of losing Alsace and Lorraine due to previous defeats!

, the addition of 12 million Germans has greatly enhanced Hans's human resources.

With sufficient human resources and rich natural resources, their industrial development can be carried out quickly.

Hans has these benefits! The people saw it, so they admired General Mainz who single-handedly facilitated this incident. From the end of the war in 1918, Mainz's name appeared in newspapers one after another. Until the merger of Odili reached its peak, his personal prestige had been rising during this period.

The people had long heard about this new rising military star in the empire. For someone so handsome and well-born. A noble, young and promising star, countless Hans people are full of expectations for him, looking forward to his rapid rise and leading Hans back to the top, regaining everything they have lost, and letting those who are above them Get the punishment you deserve!

"General Mainz is here!"

"Ah, so young!"

"Yes, I heard that General Mainz is only 23 years old this year!"

"Really? Then I wonder if he is married!"

"Who knows, Elizabeth, you must have fallen in love with Major General Mainz, right?"

"Fuck you, I was just asking casually, don't think too much!"

"Hee hee, right? Then why are you blushing?"

Among the crowds of people holding flowers on the roadside to welcome the returning German troops, a group of young and beautiful girls stood out.

Major General Mainz was not a hard-hearted person.

Seeing so many citizens lined the road to welcome him He was naturally very moved by the return of the army, so he waved to the people frequently along the way.

When he passed by the group of girls, he did the same thing.

When the girls saw the major general's charming smile, they all suddenly pointed.

She shouted, and under the push of everyone, a girl with a red face was pushed in front of the major general, and she bravely handed a bouquet of flowers to the major general.

"Did you give it to me?"

Mainz got off his horse, walked to the girl's side, and said with a smile.

"Well…give it to you!"

The girl felt the masculine aura coming towards her face, and she suddenly became more nervous. She was so nervous that she couldn't even speak!

"So beautiful, thank you!"

Mainz accepted the flowers with a smile, and then expressed himself.

But he didn't know that for a moment, he was like a hammer, directly hitting the girl's heart, making the girl stunned.

As a result, by the time she finally came back, the major general had already gone far away.

"Oops, how is it? I saw the major general talking to you. What did he say?

"Yes, what did the Major General say to you? Did you confess your love to the major general just now?"

Everyone's chattering voices made Elizabeth feel confused,"I, I haven't had time to say anything yet...."

"ah? What, I haven't had time to say it yet!"

"Oh, how could you forget this? If you forget this time, you may not be able to see him next time!"

All the women talked about it, and began to give Elizabeth all kinds of attention, teaching her how to pursue the boy she likes, such as creating opportunities for chance encounters, inviting him to dance at high-society balls, or simply taking advantage of her identity. Go confess to the other person or something!

...

"Field Marshal Hindenburg is waiting for you in his office. Please follow me, General!"

Walking into the military office building in Munich, Mainz found that everyone looked at him differently.

In the past, he often came to Marshal Hindenburg to report work and ask for instructions, but who at that time I didn't waste time on him as a little colonel.

Occasionally, there would be some close friends of the old marshal who knew about the relationship between him and the old marshal, so they would give him a friendly nod after seeing him, but that was all.

Today, when Major General Mainz walked into this building, he felt that everyone's attitude towards him was different from before, and this was most obvious to Marshal Hindenburg's office secretary, this guy.

He had never used an honorific to Mainz before, but this time, he did!

"Thanks!"

The other party's polite attitude made Mainz feel uncomfortable with the game. While not adapting, it also increased the speculation in his mind.

Something must have happened, otherwise these people would not look at him like this.

Think carefully. After a while, although he did a good thing in Odili, this kind of thing raised his military rank to major general, which is the ultimate. He is just a major general. It is impossible for these people to be so in awe of him..

This only shows that their attitude has changed.���Because of something else!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Mainz straightened his military uniform, cleared away all the distracting thoughts in his mind, walked outside Marshal Hindenburg's office, and knocked on the door.

"The door is unlocked, come in!"

The old marshal's angry voice came from the office.

After hearing this, Mainz opened the door and walked in.

"I'm back, well, good, I've become more mature, at least a little more mature than before!"

The old marshal put down what he was doing, looked up at Major General Mainz, looked at the Major General carefully, and then nodded with a smile.

"I originally wanted to keep you in Odili for a while. The situation in Odili is not particularly stable yet. In this case, it is best to have a general in charge to scare Xiaoxiao."

Marshal Hindenburg motioned for him to sit down, and then he began to speak.

"However, the situation in the country has changed too fast, and I have no time to wait any longer, so I can only recall you from Odili!"

"Don't say anything yet. Listen to me. I know you must be very worried about the situation in Odili. You don't want the good situation that you have worked so hard to build to be ruined. You don't have to worry about this. I have sent General Mackensen to Odili. He I will clean up the mess for you!"

"General Mackensen has returned from Gaul?"

Mainz was surprised when he heard this name.

General Mackensen was one of the most outstanding generals of the Second Empire in the war during World War I. He once had wonderful cooperation with Marshal Hindenburg on the Eastern Front. , was one of the key generals who defeated the Russian army.

However, General Mackensen was detained by the French army after the war and has been detained in Gaul. Unexpectedly, he returned home at this time.

"Well, that's not the point. You must be curious why I called you back in such a hurry, right?"

Mainz nodded, he was indeed curious.

"It's simple, I'm going to hand over my army to you!"
