Chapter 318
See all
It had been four years since he last fought the invaders in Audili. Four years ago, when he entered here with a regiment of only two thousand men, he was just an inconspicuous colonel.
At that time, who could have thought that this little colonel would become the head of state of Hans in the future?
Revisiting the old place, Mainz felt more emotional.
Time passed too quickly. Four years passed in a flash. How many more four years can he use?
……
The visit of the Prime Minister and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces made the people of Odili very excited.
They did not forget who led them and pulled them into the big family of Hans.
Since joining Hans, the lives of the Odili people have changed dramatically.
They are no longer the objects that can be slaughtered at will by the countries in Central Europe. They defeated the invaders from Italy, Romania, the Balkans and other regions, and took back the South Tyrol region that was once lost from Italy.
This is the most proud period for the Odili people since the defeat of the Austro-Prussian War!
Therefore, they support and love Mainz from the bottom of their hearts. If there is a group of people in the whole Hans who supports Mainz the most?
Among them, there must be the people of Odili!
On the streets of Vienna, when Mainz’s motorcade entered the city, it was welcomed by hundreds of thousands of people.
Mainz never thought that he would have such a huge influence in Odili, so much so that he was stunned by the scene in front of him!
“General, look at these people, they all support and love you from the bottom of their hearts!”
When leaving Munihei, Mainz brought out Heydrich who had completed his further studies.
Heydrich had just returned to Mainz when he encountered such a grand occasion. His eyes suddenly flashed with light, and it was obvious that he had thought of something in his mind.
Mainz guessed his thoughts. He probably thought that with the popularity of Mainz among the Austrian people, if Mainz participated in the election of President Hans, he could get at least 5 million votes in Audili!
With the guarantee of these 5 million votes, and relying on Mainz’s prestige in the army and the country, he would not be under much pressure to get 10 or even 20 million votes!
The total population of Hans is only about 82 million, and there are about 60 million people who meet the age limit and can participate in the voting. According to the voter turnout in the last presidential election, the people The voter turnout is around 60%, which means that about 36-40 million people will come out to vote!
As long as Mainz can get more than 20 million votes, he will definitely win the next presidential election and become the true President Hans!
Mainz didn’t think so much about it. He is not sure whether to participate in next year’s election! Since no decision has been made, there is no need to consider these things for the time being.
Moreover, there are really not many people in the country who can compete with him, especially those who pose a threat to him. They may have been ready to fall into his trap at this time!
Elizabeth didn’t know so many things in politics, but she was caught off guard by so many people watching.
From the moment she entered Vienna, Elizabeth grabbed Mainz’s arm, as if she was afraid of being separated from him.
“Are you nervous?”
The enthusiasm of the people was so high that Yena could not maintain order on the street. Some excited people even crossed the human wall and rushed towards Mainz.
This scene was too reminiscent of the incident in Sarajevo ten years ago.
Coincidentally, the people who were attacked that time were the Crown Prince and Princess of Odili. At this time, the status of Mainz and Elizabeth was almost the same as that of the Crown Prince and Princess of the Austro-Hungarian Empire! If history repeats itself here, and a sinful bullet is fired from an unknown corner of the crowd… will the world war break out?
“Yes, one thing, I’m worried that there will be a stampede because there are too many of them!”
Elizabeth’s words pulled Mainz back to reality from his fantasy. He took a look and saw that what Elizabeth said was right. The crowd broke through the barrier of the human wall and began to flow.
Such a dense crowd, the flow is really not good news.
A large number of people may not move by themselves, but they are swept away by the crowd and forced to move forward. In this process, if someone accidentally falls, then thousands of people behind will immediately trample on him. In the process of trampling, more people will be tripped by the people falling on the ground, thereby aggravating the scale of the stampede and causing a large number of people to die tragically under the feet of the crowd!
In crowded places, especially in the streets of cities, stampedes are too common. Such incidents have happened countless times in history, and each time they have caused extremely painful losses!
Mainz doesn’t want to cause a serious stampede because of his appearance, and then be reported by the media everywhere, and then exaggerated as his own responsibility!
If this happens, it will have a great impact on his image.
So Mainz said to Heydrich beside him:”Take people to help the police maintain order and clear the road. Remember, the means must be gentle. They are our compatriots, not our enemies!”
In history, Heydrich is a man who eats people without spitting out bones, so Mainz had to remind him, so as not to use the means used against the enemy to deal with his own people!
“”Yes, General!”
Heydrich did not say any unnecessary nonsense. After receiving the order, he immediately led his troops forward to help the police stabilize the human wall, and then little by little forced the crowd back to the side of the street.
In order to cooperate with his work, Mainz also stood up from the car, took out a loudspeaker and shouted to the people on both sides of the street, calming their excitement and asking them to stay calm to prevent unexpected situations.
With the efforts of the German army and the help of Mainz, the situation was gradually brought under control, and the restless crowd began to gradually stabilize. After seeing the heroes in their hearts, the vast majority of the people were satisfied and began to cooperate with the German army and retreat!
However, not everyone was so obedient. Heydrich noticed that another wave of people were still desperately squeezing forward when everyone else was retreating!
“You stepped on me!”
A middle-aged man was stepped on the foot, and he uttered a cry of pain, and then shouted loudly!
The man who stepped on him heard his cry and punched him in the face, making him bleed!
The crowd burst into exclamations. No one expected that this guy would start a fight without any signs.
The attention of the nearby German soldiers was attracted by this accident, and almost everyone looked here curiously.
Heydrich was also very curious in his heart, wondering what was going on with this man.
However, at this moment, a great sense of crisis rose from the soles of his feet and swept through his whole body within a second!
No, this situation is not right!
Heydrich realized the danger!
He turned his head to look in the direction of Mainz. He was about to open his mouth to remind him, but he saw that while the German army was not prepared, a short guy wearing a black windbreaker and a felt hat quickly took out a pistol from his coat and pointed it at Mainz who was standing outside the car and shouting to the people with a loudspeaker!
“General, danger!”
Heydrich’s eyes widened, and the hairs on his body stood up. He wanted to open his mouth to remind Mainz, but it was too late.
The world lost its sound in an instant. Heydrich saw the short gunman pull the trigger. With a flash of sparks, General Mainz on the opposite side was shocked, as if he was hit by a war hammer, and fell into the car!
Time seemed to be frozen at this moment, and hundreds of thousands of people on the street were shocked by this scene!
“General Mainz was assassinated!”
A scream rang out in the crowd, and the crowd on the entire street suddenly became chaotic! At this moment, the people of Audi seemed to have returned to the time before World War I, to the moment when the crown prince was shot!
