章 141: 141
Mainz tried to persuade Marshal Hindenburg that although severe crackdowns can solve social security problems to a certain extent, this can only solve the superficial problems and cannot solve the fundamental problems.
The fundamental problem with the deterioration of social security is that a large number of unemployed workers have lost their means of livelihood and are forced to do some desperate things to make a living.
To completely solve this problem, the best way is to develop the economy and increase job opportunities. Only by absorbing the unemployed people in society and solving their livelihood problems can the chaos of social security be fundamentally and completely solved!
However, when faced with Mainz's question, Hindenburg answered him this way:"It is beyond the government's ability to quickly absorb these more than four million unemployed workers. I am not unaware of what you are talking about. But for things that are impossible, I will not give any hope!"
"However, if we continue to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, we will only temporarily suppress the problem. Sooner or later, it will still break out in the future. And once this problem breaks out, the backlash and damage caused will probably be much more serious than it is now! Mainz said worriedly!
Hindenburg stared at him for a few minutes, sighed, and said:"Even so, we have only one choice, we can only postpone the outbreak, because now Even if it breaks out, we can only digest it internally and cannot divert the conflict. If we drag it out, maybe there will be a turn for the better, do you understand?"
Hearing this explanation, Mainz completely understood the old president's attitude.
What he meant by this was to delay and wait for change, and when conflicts around the world broke out, he would use foreign war to bring Hans internal affairs to a halt. Spread out the contradictions, thereby minimizing the harm to Hans himself!
It seems that Mustache is not the only one who wants to start World War II. There are many people in Hans's upper class who have such ideas! Not even President Hindenburg is an exception!
"Mainz, you must be curious, why do I promote and re-use you against all objections?"
"Because in you, I see myself when I was young and all the qualities that a perfect soldier should have. You represent the future of this country. Even if you really get to that point in the future, you will transform this country and this nation. With the future in your hands, our chances of winning will be greater. This is the last thing I can do for this country!"
To be honest, these words shocked Mainz. He did not expect that in President Hindenburg's heart, he would be so pessimistic about the future situation!
Even from the perspective of a time traveler, , President Hindenburg's pessimism was justified, and what happened in the world later confirmed his guesses one by one. However, standing in the era of 1921, his forward-thinking vision was still awe-inspiring..
Sure enough, those who can stand at the pinnacle of this era are not mediocre people!
"Go ahead and prepare early. If things are done well this time, we can maintain stability for at least 2-3 years!"
After President Hindenburg finished speaking, he looked very tired and waved his hand to signal Mainz to leave.
Mainz left the presidential office with a heavy heart. Before leaving the capital, he went specifically to the Arc de Triomphe in Berlin - - Take a walk at the Brandenburg Gate.
This retro-style building was built by King Friedrich Wilhelm II more than 130 years ago to commemorate the victory of the Seven Years' War, and now represents victory and glory. , after the disastrous defeat three years ago, this once glorious Arc de Triomphe now looked particularly desolate and lonely.
Mainz even saw a beggar begging outside the Brandenburg Gate. The beggar was wearing a full suit. The white old military uniform seemed to be the 1907 version of the German military uniform.
There was a clean iron bowl in front of the beggar. Mainz recognized it as the standard equipment of the German army, and it even had this printed on it. The eyes of the troops that Kouchan belonged to moved up to the beggar. Mainz quickly noticed that the beggar had lost one of his legs. His right leg was completely sawed off from below the knee. Half of the trouser leg appeared empty, which looked very dazzling.
The beggar is not very old, about 40-50 years old. The reason why he cannot accurately judge the age of the beggar is because the long-term begging has left a deep mark on his face, making him look... He looked much older than his actual age.
Mainz paused in front of him, thought for a moment, and then took out 200 marks from his pocket.
The mark had depreciated greatly at this time, despite the recent introduction of Romani teeth. Food prices in Eastern Europe have lowered prices, but 20 marks at this time can only buy two slices of bread.
Because he rarely uses money, Mainz has little money with him. 200 marks is about what he needs. All the cash on me!
"I'm so sorry, that's all I have left!
Mainz regretfully said to the disabled veteran.
The veteran nodded:"Thank you, sir, thank you for your generosity. God will favor a good person like you!""
The veteran said gratefully while collecting the money.
As he spoke, his brows wrinkled and his eyes stared at Mainz.
"Sir, are you?"
The muscles on the veteran's face began to twitch, as if he recognized who the person in front of him was.
He quickly used his walking stick and wanted to stand up and salute Mainz, but he was too weak not only to stand up, but also to salute Mainz. Instead, he almost fell.
Fortunately, Mainz had quick eyes and quick hands and helped the opponent before he fell. Otherwise, he would have broken his head or even fallen harder!
"thank you, will…��Sir, you are such a good man!"
The veteran was very excited. From what he almost let slip, Mainz judged that the other party had recognized him.
"You're welcome, it was my dereliction of duty that I failed to take good care of those of you who have contributed to the country!"
Mainz subconsciously glanced at the other's empty trousers and felt even more guilty.
Letting veterans who sacrificed their lives for the country and made significant contributions to live on the streets and be forced to beg is indeed a dereliction of duty by the military. It is difficult for him, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, to do this. Give up the blame
"You don't have to appreciate it, it's not that the military's protection is not in place, it's that I refused the military's pension!
The words of the disabled veteran made Mainz feel a little stunned,"Why do you do this?""
The other party has obviously reached the point where he cannot take care of himself and his livelihood is extremely difficult. He has reached this point and still does not accept the military pension. This approach makes him a little confused.
"I have participated in the war and have seen many wounded soldiers like me.
We can no longer continue to fight for the country.
If we continue to attach ourselves to the army and suck up the army's small military expenditure like blood-sucking insects, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the military to have money to purchase equipment and strengthen training.
This will weaken our country's national defense strength.
Without a strong military, we will only be reduced to fish on the chopping board of other countries and can only be slaughtered by others.
By then, there will be thousands of families like me who will be precarious!
"
The veteran's words made Mainz stand in awe. Although the other person was a small figure destined not to leave his name in history, his insights and awareness probably exceeded more than half of the civil servants in this country!
"And I don't have no means of making a living at all. You see, I can also paint paintings for tourists who come here for sightseeing, and I can also compose music for nearby theaters. I can make money from these, so supporting myself is not a problem!"
The veteran's optimism moved Mainz very much. In this ordinary little man, he saw the resilience of this country and this nation!
"Thank you, Mr. Veteran!"
Mainz saluted the veteran, and the veteran returned the salute excitedly. As a result, he lost his balance and almost fell down again!
"What are you going to do to my father? ?"
At this moment, a tall young man with blond hair and blue eyes ran next to him. The man rushed to Mainz's side and tried to push him away. Mainz had received strict training and his body had been developed. He developed an instinct to deal with danger.
So, without any suspense, the blond and blue-eyed young man was thrown to the ground in less than half a second!
"Oh my god, Heydrich, what are you doing!"
The veteran next to him exclaimed, and Mainz was also a little surprised.
He seemed to have heard just now that the man he knocked down on the ground seemed to be named Heydrich?
