The Return of the King chapter 015

Thinking of this, the old marshal's tone softened.

"Mainz, besides you, does anyone else know about this?"

Now that the matter has happened, it is no longer helpful to blame Major Mainz. What he can do is to do the finishing work for Mainz as much as possible, and do not let this matter be known to the Gauls. , as long as the Gauls don't know about it, this matter can be suppressed.

"No, I checked carefully during the operation beforehand, and no one noticed. Moreover, we all changed into civilian clothes and did not go out in military uniforms."

Mainz's answer reassured Marshal Hindenburg a lot. What he was most worried about was that this matter was exposed. Once this happened, the Allies would definitely ask him for people, in which case he would be in a very difficult position.!

"It's good that no one knows about it. Remember, next time something like this happens, don't act rashly without permission. If you need anything, you can come to me directly!"

The old marshal originally wanted to say that he had something to report to his superiors, but when he thought that there were too many people talking, there were too many links changing hands, and the risk of the matter being exposed was greater, so he temporarily changed his mind and asked Mainz to report directly to him, and he would do it personally. check!

"Marshal, are you willing to help these people?"

Mainz followed the stick, pretending to have misunderstood Marshal Hindenburg's words, and deliberately asked

"Hum, if I don't take action, are you planning to take action privately again?"

Seeing the major's eyes twitching around, the old Marshal couldn't help but feel so handsome. If it hadn't been a bad influence, he might have personally taught Old Levinsky a lesson to his son!

"Hehe, with these words from Marshal, I feel relieved!"

Mainz breathed a sigh of relief. It was a good thing for those people to get help from Marshal Hindenburg. Although Mainz wanted to protect them, his strength was still too weak to take care of them. There are so many people, and Marshal Hindenburg, as the chief of staff of the army, has more power than Bolin's prime minister. With him stepping forward, the situation of those people will be much better.

"Tell me, why are you so determined to help them?"

Although he agreed to Major Mainz's request, the old marshal was still a little puzzled. He didn't know why Mainz was so persistent in protecting these people.

Arms giants like Gustav Krupp could say better. After all, if he is really captured by the French army, Krupp will probably be useless.

Krupp's cannons are world-renowned.

For the army, if it lacks its own cannon suppliers in the future, it will definitely be.

No, so Marshal Hindenburg didn't mind protecting Gustav Krupp, but there were many people on this list that he had never heard of and had nothing to do with the arms field, for example.

This guy is called Willy Messerschmitt.

This guy is only 20 years old.

He is a small beer merchant.

His stepfather is a professor at an art college, and he is also a falconer.

Such a person was regarded as a suspect during the war.

The elements were under surveillance, so how could they protect him?

Marshal Hindenburg didn't know where Mainz knew the names of these people, and he didn't know why he had to protect them, but after seeing these After hearing the unfamiliar names and their ages, he couldn't help but frown.

Facing Marshal Hindenburg's questioning, Major Mainz certainly couldn't tell him that he was a time traveler and knew that this was called Messerschmier. This guy was later the founder of Messerschmitt, and together with a man named Walter Reiter, he developed the famous BF-109 fighter of the Third Reich.

This kind of thing can only happen to him. It was absolutely impossible for him to tell anyone in his heart, so he could only say in general that he was very optimistic about these people and believed that they would make great contributions to the future empire.

Faced with this statement, the old marshal naturally responded. He didn't believe it, so he stared at Major Mainz for several minutes, his eyes as sharp as if he could see through people's hearts, which made the Major feel a little scared.

"Forget it, it's not a big deal anyway, don't worry, I'll have someone take care of them!"

Although the old marshal didn't know what Major Mainz was going to do, he knew that the other party was a staunch patriot like him, so he would never betray the German nation.

In this case, the old marshal did not insist on pursuing the case. It is normal for young people to have their own ideas. As an old guy who is half dead, it is better not to interfere too much in the affairs of young people.

After hearing Marshal Hindenburg's words, Major Mainz was relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief and almost felt that he had been seen through by the old marshal. It was really not an easy thing to get along with such powerful old guys. They had so much life experience!

After wiping his sweat, Major Mainz heard what Field Marshal Hindenburg said.

"Go back and pack your things and complete the handover of the troops!"

Major Mainz was stunned. Why did he suddenly want to deprive himself of his military power?

Could it be that the old guy was worried about his private actions, so he took a tactic to drain his salary?

But before he could question it, the old marshal heard He continued:"I am going to transfer you to work in the staff department. Of course, with your military rank, I am afraid you can only start from the most basic clerical work. Can you take up this position?"

Major Mainz opened his eyes wide. The German General Staff system is very famous in the world. As the first country to propose and establish the General Staff system, the Kingdom of Prussia relied on the advantages brought by the General Staff system to win in the tenth century. It was almost invincible in a series of battles in the ninth century.

Moreover, with the reforms of the General Staff by Marshal Hindenburg and General Ludendorff in the late World War I, the power of this department was greatly enhanced. The General Staff not only had the ability to formulate combat plans, but also had the actual power to implement the plans. In the later stages of the war, it almost completely replaced the Kaiser and became the real power in the empire.

In this case, it was transferred to the General Staff to perform its duties. That is to gild and prepare for future promotions and promotions!

Major Mainz realized that the old marshal was promoting himself!
