The Third Reich: The Return of the King
Chapter 84
The sun never sets on the empire, and the capital is the capital of fog.
When MI6 put the latest information on the Weimar Republic in front of Prime Minister Lloyd George, the sun never set on Prime Minister George's face was very solemn.
"Did Hindenburg really get president?"
Just now, Hans received information that in the presidential election on December 12, the military Hindenburg defeated a number of opponents and was successfully elected president of the Weimar Republic.
This information is not good news for the Entente, Hindenburg is a famous iron-blooded general of the German army during World War I, he is an old man who has come together from the Bismarck period to the present, this guy, with the stubbornness of a soldier, and the cunning of a fox!
Compared with Albert, who has resigned, it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to control Hindenburg!
"Judging from the intelligence, it is true, the election is now over, and judging from the number of votes, Hindenburg's election is a sure thing!"
MI6 was headed by Navy Colonel Mansfield Cumming, who single-handedly created the espionage unit that provided intelligence to the military.
After Mansfield established MI6, on the one hand, he began to vigorously expand his intelligence network around the world, and on the other hand, he regarded MI6 intelligence as a secret, trying to make this intelligence organization that existed in the world 'disappear!'
From the current point of view, his work is very successful, and at present, the whole world hardly knows that there is such an intelligence organization in the Empire of the Sun Never Sets, so they have almost no awareness of the infiltration of MI6, let alone deal with it!
If no one is aware of their existence, then they are not in much danger, and in this case, MI6 spies have collected a lot of information, and every day important information is sent back from all over the world to the hands of Director Mansfield, and after he has sorted out this information, he will pick out some of the information that he thinks is the most important, and bring it to the Prime Minister for the Prime Minister to see.
At this time, Field Marshal Hindenburg was elected President of the Weimar Republic, and this information was very important in Mansfield's opinion!
Of course, there is another piece of intelligence that is even more alarming, and this is the main purpose of his coming here today!
"Your Excellency, you must take a look at this!"
While Prime Minister Lloyd George was still worried about the emergence of a strong president in Hans, Mansfield put a second piece of information in front of him.
"What is this?"
"Hans announced the list of new cabinet members!"
"Oh?"
When Prime Minister Lloyd George heard this, he immediately became interested.
President Hindenburg's appointed cabinet members include:
Minister of Foreign Studies: Gustav Stresemann
Prime Minister: William Greener
Minister of the Interior: William Marks
......
The names of these people Lloyd George have more or less heard, because they are recorded in the intelligence files of MI6, and it is not too surprising that they were appointed to the cabinet by Hindenburg, and it also proves that Hindenburg was prepared, and among these people he promoted, except for those who were from the military, the others were not from military backgrounds, which means that Hindenburg made a balance between politicians and the military!
This is a very old and spicy method, he thought that Hindenburg would not know so quickly, who knew that this old thing would understand so much!
As he continued to read, the people on the list were almost all capable and qualified, nothing outstanding or unexpected, until he saw a somewhat familiar, but very unfamiliar name: Mainz von Lewinsky!
From the word 'Feng' in the other party's surname, it can be seen that the other party is from a noble background.
However, the identity of Junker nobles is not special in Hans, and there are a large number of Junker nobles in the military, all of whom are people with the word Feng in their names!
This person was appointed Minister of Defense and was in charge of the three armed forces, so naturally he should be a soldier, and the German army has always been in the hands of the Junker aristocracy, so it is a matter of course that the other party is a nobleman!
These are not the reasons that surprised the prime minister that the sun never sets, what really surprised him was the age of the other party!
23 years old!
And the rank is actually only a major general!
At the age of 23, serving as Minister of Defense with the rank of Major General, this kind of thing seems too magical and unreal, so Prime Minister Lloyd George couldn't help but turn his head to look at the Director of MI6, and that look seemed to ask again: Are you sure you are not joking with me? A 23-year-old hairy boy has been appointed Minister of Defense of Hans? Is it April Fool's Day?
"You can't believe it's true, can you?"
Colonel Mansfield saw the Prime Minister's reaction, and his face showed that it was indeed so.
In fact, when he got this information, his reaction was almost exactly the same as that of Prime Minister Lloyd George, and he couldn't believe it was true!
If he hadn't taken a huge risk to repeatedly confirm with Bai Lin's inside line and confirm this matter, he probably wouldn't have believed it to be true until now!
"Well, it's unbelievable!"
The prime minister is the prime minister after all, and after realizing that he was out of shape, he quickly adjusted.
He had wanted to ask Mansfield if the information was accurate.
However, after seeing Mansfield's expression at this time, even if he didn't need to ask, he was sure that this information should be accurate, and the other party must have been as suspicious as himself, and went to investigate!
"What is Hindenburg thinking? Why should such a hairy boy be appointed Minister of Defense?"
Lloyd George couldn't figure it out, and Mansfield immediately gave a reasonable explanation.
"Some people say that Hindenburg did this because this man was his nephew and had a very close relationship with him!"
"Nepotism?"
Hearing the words of the head of MI6, the word suddenly appeared in the mind of Prime Minister Lloyd George.
"Well, there's a good chance it is!"
"Hehe, if I'm not mistaken, Grener is also his confidant, right? As soon as he took office, he appointed two henchmen in succession, and this Hindenburg doesn't look very good!"
After receiving this answer, the sun's opinion of Hans's newly elected president dropped considerably.
It is difficult to imagine how capable a person who will only be cronyistic.
It's similar to the idea that the sun never sets, and when the leaders of the rest of the world get this information, they almost all think the same thing in their hearts.
In the city of Eiffel Tower, the capital of Gaul, when the president and the prime minister learned of the new defense minister appointed by Hindenburg, they both breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't contain their excitement, and even opened a bottle of Boerdo winery to celebrate.
"The German army has been reduced to 100,000 people, and it has been handed over to such a stinky hairy boy, how can they compete with our million-strong army, how can they compete with our three famous generals?"
"Hehe, Hindenburg, Hindenburg, with someone like him as president of Hans, it seems that I Gaul will not have to worry about the threat from the east for at least thirty years!"
