May 14, 1923, Mainz officially visited the Bears as Prime Minister Hans and discussed the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Bears.
The Bears had not yet been recognized by the European and international mainstream society, and no major country had established diplomatic relations with them, so the Bears would naturally not refuse the olive branch extended by the Hans!
Not only would they not refuse, the Bears were simply overjoyed!
Hans, this is the world's second largest industrial country, the second most populous country in Europe, and the country with the strongest comprehensive national strength in Europe!
It is a very proud thing for the Bears to be recognized by such a country!
After hearing the news, the Bears were immediately overjoyed!
Therefore, the Bears held a grand welcome ceremony for the visiting Mainz. Comrade Lelin entrusted driver Tolo to personally come to the train station to welcome Mainz's visit. If he had not been ill and was receiving treatment in the hospital at this time, Lelin would definitely come to the train station himself!
"Prime Minister, welcome to the Bear!"
When Tolo saw Mainz, he smiled and took the initiative to extend his hand to shake hands with Mainz.
Mainz smiled and took the initiative to give him a hug:"Long time no see, my friend!"
Tolo was stunned. Although he had met Mainz before and knew him, their relationship was not so close, right?
Tolo did not notice that when Mainz took the initiative to give him a hug, the face of a Bear official behind him suddenly changed, and he secretly remembered this scene!
Mainz happened to observe this scene, and the corners of his mouth suddenly raised a little arc: Sure enough, Starling had already placed his own people next to Tolo!
Although Tolo was surprised, the other party took the initiative to give him a hug, so Tolo naturally could not refuse. That would be too rude. After all, not everyone is the Eagle Sauce President, so weird!
""Long time no see, Mr. Prime Minister. I remember the last time I saw you was just yesterday. Time flies!"
Driver Tolo's sigh was true. He really didn't expect to see Mainz again, and in this capacity!
4. At that time, Driver Tolo was still a powerful figure in the Central Government of the Russian Bear, and he also had a high status in the army. Starling and others were not a big threat to him!
However, four years later, the situation was completely different.
Driver Tolo no longer had military power at this time, and was arranged to perform government affairs in the local area. His influence in the military began to decline rapidly, and he had been completely replaced by Starling, a rising star!
And what about Mainz opposite him?
Four years ago, Mainz was just a small major, but at this time, Mainz had become Hans's commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, He has millions of troops under his command, and he is also the second-in-command of the government. He is the designated successor of Hindenburg. Compared with him, this treatment is simply a world of difference!
Thinking of this, Tolo driver felt bitter. He didn't know why Comrade Lenin didn't choose him as his successor, but always favored Starlin. Obviously, this guy's several mistakes made the Soviet army pay a huge price and sacrificed hundreds of thousands of excellent soldiers and commanders!
According to Tolo driver's understanding, Starlin made such a serious mistake, he should resign and be investigated!
However, Lenin did not… He did not do so, which made Tolo driver feel quite unbalanced!
Mainz is very concerned about the power struggle within the Russian Bear. To be honest, among the two successors of Lenin, Mainz hopes that Tolo driver will be elected, because this guy is much easier to deal with than Starling. Starling is the kind of person who uses iron-fisted means and is cold and authoritarian. He is a very difficult opponent!
This guy, in pursuit of victory, is willing to take out everything in his hands as a bet, willing to bet everything, at any cost!
If Starling is in power, if you want to conquer the Russian Bear, you must completely defeat the Russian Bear. , only when the Russian bear has no power to fight back can it be considered a complete end!
Compared with him, Tolo driver is much weaker. If Tolo driver is in power, there may be several major victories, and several important cities in Eastern Europe will fall. Tolo driver will feel that the war cannot continue, and it is easy to choose the option of surrender!
Therefore, it is naturally wiser to choose Tolo driver! However
, this kind of thing is not up to Mainz himself, because Hans' influence within the Russian bear is far from enough, and he can't fundamentally affect the selection of the leader of the Russian bear!
"Yes, time flies so fast. When I came here four years ago, Moscow had just gone through a war and looked very desolate and bleak. But now when I come again, I can feel the firepower of Moscow and the enthusiasm of the people! I hope that one day in the future, I can come to Moscow again. If conditions permit, I would also like to go to the Red Square to attend a military parade!"
Mainz said to Tolo driver with a smile. Tolo driver did not hear the other party's implication and thought that the other party was just a routine courtesy, so he did not take it to heart!
He casually said:"For distinguished guests like His Excellency Mainz, we, the Bear Club, will always maintain a friendly and welcoming attitude. Whenever you want to visit us, we welcome you to come!"
"As for the Red Square military parade, this is a grand event that only takes place every five or ten years. The last parade was in October last year. The next one will probably be the 10th anniversary National Day parade in 1927. If you don't mind waiting, we welcome you to attend the next parade. As long as you are willing to come, we will definitely invite you!"
Seeing the serious look of Tolo driver, Mainz smiled and said nothing.
He said that he would come to Moscow again, not as a guest, but to conquer here as a conqueror!
And participating in the military parade on Red Square is not to participate in the military parade held by the bears, but to participate in the victory parade of the German army.
However, Tolo driver may never know these things in his life, because he will never live to that day!
In the political struggle, if you are not ruthless, then you can only become a loser in the power struggle.
The kind father Starlin ascended to the pinnacle of power through an iron-blooded wrist, but Tolo driver fantasized about living in peace with his political enemies. This naive idea doomed him to failure!
Although Mainz wanted to help him, he was powerless when Tolo driver himself was a pig teammate!
After arriving in Moscow, Mainz was soon received by Comrade Lenin.
In 1923, Lenin's health had deteriorated rapidly, and his personal freedom was restricted. He was basically under house arrest by Starling. If Mainz had not come to visit as the head of state, Lenin would not have been able to see him! Mainz was not familiar with Lenin and had no special feelings for him. In addition, Mainz met him in the hospital, so after explaining his purpose in a businesslike manner, he was ready to leave.
However, just as he was about to leave, Lenin suddenly stopped him.
"Mr. Mainz, please stay!"
Lelin said this in German, so the nurse next to him was a little confused and didn't understand what he was saying.
"Comrade Lenin said he wanted to eat some fruit, so you go prepare it!"Mainz turned around and said to the confused nurse.
The nurse nodded confusedly and left the room.
When he left the room, he didn't realize that what Hans's Prime Minister had just said to him was actually in Russian!
"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
Mainz switched to German and said to Lelin.
