After Mainz agreed to Hindenburg's invitation, Hans's newspaper reported a big news the next day.
Prime Minister Groner officially submitted his resignation to President Hindenburg and resigned as Prime Minister.
Before the people could recover from this shocking news, the newspaper immediately reported another incident!
The Commander-in-Chief of the German Army, Major General Mainz, was appointed by President Hindenburg as the new Chancellor of the Weimar Republic.
If the first news was equivalent to a magnitude 7 earthquake, it shocked countless people!
Then the second news is equivalent to a magnitude 9 earthquake, and the kind with a tsunami!
The whole Hans was shocked by the news!
The Mainz major who was born in 189 is only 23 years old now, not even 24!
Hans There has never been such a young Prime Minister, never!
Let alone Hans, even in the whole world, there has never been such a young prime minister. What is even more shocking is that this prime minister also serves as Hans' commander-in-chief of the armed forces! what does that mean?
Among the three powers of the party, government and military, Mainz already holds one military power and half of the political power. To some extent, his status is even higher than President Hindenburg!
This news is really shocking!
The people were a little doubtful of their own eyes. They thought they had seen it wrong!
However, President Hindenburg soon made a public speech to the nation. In his speech to all Hans, he officially confirmed this!
"Mainz von Levinsky will be officially appointed Prime Minister of the Republic for a five-year term!"
This news spread quickly throughout the Hans Kingdom as if it had wings.
At one time, 80 million people in 27 states across the country were shocked by the news!
After the shock, the people immediately started talking. Start this matter!
"General Mainz has great military exploits, and his own abilities are also extremely outstanding. If it weren't for his miraculous performance, how could Odili return to our country, our Hans family. From this point alone, I support Mainz The general becomes prime minister!"
"Yes, that's right, the general takes great care of us veterans. Not only does he provide us with adequate pensions, but he also carries out assistance projects to help us find jobs and make a living. Without the help of General Mainz , we veterans are all going to beg for food, so I will definitely stand with the general. If anyone dares to frame the general, I will be incompatible with him!"
"Well said, without the help of General Mainz, our factories would not have been able to develop overseas markets. Without overseas markets, we would have gone bankrupt long ago, so I support General Mainz!"
Those who have heard about Mainz's deeds or have enjoyed the benefits of Mainz-led policies strongly support Mainz's election as prime minister, and some even hope that Mainz can be better." If he takes the next step and ascends to the throne of the president, he will be able to better lead everyone out of the predicament with the help of General Mainz! Of course, there will be support and opposition from some people in the Socialist Party.
He can get a position, so he has a grudge against Mainz and slanders Mainz everywhere.
"Humph, what kind of prime minister can he, a young boy like him, be? Does he have any experience in politics? Does he have experience in running a country?"
"He has nothing, he is just a bastard who only knows how to fight. President Hindenburg is really blind. He actually expects a bastard who knows nothing about politics to lead this country. I think he is really an old fool!"
"Well said, our Socialist Party has hundreds of thousands of party members and a large number of experienced officials. It is most appropriate to leave the management of the country to our government, but to leave it to the military is irresponsible to the people. Isn't the previous example of Groener, who was also a soldier, not obvious enough?"
"Look what this guy has done since he took office! In order to raise money, he overissued a large amount of currency, which caused the mark to depreciate significantly. As a result, prices skyrocketed and people were in dire straits. If it weren't for this bastard, how could there be so many people in Hans country who were starved of food and even their families were ruined?"
"This Mainz is younger than Groner. It is said that he was promoted by Hindenburg because he was a relative of Hindenburg. He did a terrible job in the military. According to me, he should have been dismissed long ago. That's right. How can he be allowed to serve as prime minister at this time? Isn't this making fun of the entire country and its 80 million people?"
"Groener, who is older than him and more senior than him, has done so badly. If it were Mainz, there is no telling what amazing moves he would make! Therefore, we must not compromise. We must march towards Bolin. We must protest strongly and express our demands. We must ask Hindenburg to revoke this decision!"
In the square, several party members were shouting loudly, trying to encourage the unsuspecting people to follow them to the capital to petition.
Their words did touch some people, especially those whose lives have been greatly affected by inflation and soaring prices.
After listening to the instigation of these people, these people were a little tempted, and some people planned to follow these people to the capital.
They subconsciously felt that it was inappropriate for a soldier to be the prime minister, especially in Shanghai.
When the military prime minister had completely failed, they were suspicious of Mainz who was a soldier and did not trust him very much!
When these members of the Socialist Party saw that many people were moved, they were all very moved.
Excited.
This time, in order to compete for the position of Prime Minister, the Socialist Party sent a large number of people to publicize and mobilize a large team to petition the capital.
They have already contacted the news media and reporters. When they arrive in the capital, reporters will immediately follow and report on them, letting everyone in the country know about this matter, and make this matter a big deal.
In that case, their ideas and opposition will be ignored by the people across the country! Know!
They are confident that as long as this matter is thoroughly revealed, the people will definitely stand on their side and follow them to condemn Hindenburg and force Hindenburg to cancel the appointment! , then the position of cabinet prime minister is 100% theirs!
Once their person becomes the cabinet prime minister, with the power of the cabinet prime minister, they can not only confront President Hindenburg, but also develop their own party power openly. Prepare for their competition for the next presidential election! In short, these Socialist Party members are bound to win the position of Prime Minister!
Almost at the same time, socialist propaganda began to appear across the country.!
Hans's police will not interfere in party activities, because this is the power granted by the constitution.
However, the Gestapo will not be so easy to talk to!
"General, the Gestapo from all over the country have already targeted them. Do you want to take action against them immediately? Himmler tried hard to restrain his inner excitement. This was the largest operation since the establishment of the Gestapo, so he seemed very nervous and very excited at the same time. Himmler had to admit that he liked this job and enjoying the moment!
"how many people?"
Mainz asked coldly. If these people intend to oppose themselves and use such methods, then they are their enemies!
Mainz will never be soft-hearted towards his enemies!
"There are more than 400 people in total"
"Very good, dispatch the SS and implement the cleanup plan. Remember, do it cleanly and don't leave any clues!"
