In late February, President Hindenburg returned to Berlin and officially stated that he would not participate in the next presidential election.
This news made the whole world realize that Hans was about to hold a new presidential election.
As the world’s second largest industrial country and the second most populous country in Europe, Hans’ every move is naturally closely watched by the international community.
People and politicians from various countries have begun to pay attention to the upcoming Hans election. They are very curious about who will stand out in this election?
Will the current President Hindenburg be successfully re-elected, or will there be a dark horse that emerges and laughs unexpectedly to everyone?
These are actually not the most attractive focus of people from various countries. What they care about most is: Will Hans’s Prime Minister, General Mainz, participate in the election?
After the end of World War I, Hindenburg, with his status as a marshal of the German army and his huge prestige after the war, successfully replaced Albert and officially moved into the presidential palace to become���Hans’s second president was also the first president with real power.
Even though more than six years had passed since World War I, President Hindenburg’s prestige was still very high in the hearts of the people, especially in the past few years when he was president. Hans completely got rid of the chaos and turmoil after the war, and the economic growth was rapid, the industrial level was steadily improved, the military strength returned to its peak, and the people’s living standards gradually caught up with or even exceeded other European countries.
Such results are already very eye-catching for President Hindenburg, so if he wants to continue to run for president, the people are very happy to vote for him and let him continue to be re-elected!
As for Prime Minister Mainz, what he did after taking office was seen by the people of Hans and even the whole world. It can be said that if it weren’t for him, Hans would not have been able to get rid of the post-war quagmire so quickly!
And he not only achieved extremely brilliant results in economic development, but also achieved even more brilliant results in the military.
Defeating the invasion of Gaul three times, promoting the merger of Odili and Hans, winning the German-Polish War…
Under his leadership, Hans got rid of the shackles of the Treaty of Versailles in just five years and successfully transformed from a defeated country into a normal country.
This allows the people of Hans to hold their chests high and be upright, and no longer have to let others ride on their heads and bully!
And with these solid achievements, Mainz’s prestige in the hearts of the people has even surpassed President Hindenburg.
So the people of Hans are a little distressed. If Chancellor Mainz also announces his participation in the next general election, then they really don’t know who they should vote for.
Should they vote for the current President Hindenburg, or for the Chancellor of Mainz they love?
However, they will soon not have to worry about this matter, because Marshal Hindenburg announced his withdrawal from the election!
“Marshal, won’t you think about it again?”
Hindenburg’s confidants were still persuading him, trying to change his mind.
But the old marshal had made up his mind. He was not very confident in Mainz, worried that Mainz lacked political experience and was not strong enough, and would suffer after becoming president.
However, Mainz’s performance in the Berlin coup this time made Hindenburg completely relieved!
He began to realize that Mainz now is no longer the Mainz of six years ago!
He has completed the transformation and become more… more decisive.
Moreover, the two biggest obstacles in the country, the Junker nobles and the Socialists, have been eliminated by Mainz. No one can threaten his position in a short time.
Mainz holds the three core powers of the party, government and military. His power will be as solid as a rock. No one can shake the power in his hands.
In this case, there is no need for me to act as his umbrella. I should just step down and enjoy my old age!
President Hindenburg’s heart is no longer in his career. Seeing that the successor he chose has grown to this level, he is very pleased.
He believes that his vision is not wrong. It is the right choice to hand over Hans’ power to Mainz. The other party will not disappoint him and the expectations of all the people!
So when he heard the persuasion of the people around him at this moment, President Hindenburg’s attitude was unusually firm.
“Needless to say, I have made up my mind. I will make a public speech tomorrow to express my attitude. Now, while my term of office has not yet ended, you should find a way out for yourselves. While I still have the power and can help you arrange it, I will try my best to arrange it for you. When Mainz comes to power in the future, I don’t want you to bother him with these trivial matters!”
Hindenburg was very single. He solved his own problems by himself and would never leave a mess for Mainz to clean up for him.
Therefore, for the cabinet members he had appointed, Hindenburg meant that as long as he stepped down, these people would all step down together. Mainz would appoint his own cabinet according to his own preferences and requirements, and Hindenburg would never continue to interfere!
In this case, the people around him must find a way out for themselves in advance!
Everyone looked at each other, and they did not expect President Hindenburg’s attitude to be so firm.
Now it seems that they can no longer persuade The other party has changed his mind. If that’s the case, then we can only find a way out for ourselves in advance as President Hindenburg said!
Hindenburg sighed slightly when he saw the disappointed backs of these people returning.
He knew that most of the people around him had no ability. He believed in them and promoted them mainly because they were loyal to him. Most of them were his old subordinates, and he trusted them very much!
In the early days of his presidency, facing the chaotic situation in the country, President Hindenburg could not clean up the situation at all, and none of the people around him could help! The truly decisive It was the people around Mainz who played a role. After he appointed Mainz as the prime minister, Hans’s chaotic situation quickly improved.
Therefore, President Hindenburg actually felt a little guilty, because a large part of the people’s praise for him was actually attributed to Mainz and the people around him. President Hindenburg himself did not contribute much credit.
Thinking of the group of outstanding young people gathered around Mainz, President Hindenburg could not help but feel curious.
How did Mainz network so many young and outstanding talents?
Whether it was those who had gradually emerged in the military, or even Those young generals who have become famous, or those who follow Mainz, such as Ribbentrop, Goebbels, and even the little mustache, who handle government affairs, all have outstanding abilities. Almost everyone can do their job and complete it well! Hindenburg thought that he could not match this kind of vision of knowing people and assigning them to positions!
However, he at least discovered and promoted Mainz. When he thought of this, the old president felt a little proud!
In the future, when others mention Mainz’s name and praise his merits, I am afraid they will bring their own name in addition!
After all, it was he who promoted him!
On March 1, 1925, President Hindenburg made a public speech to the people of the country. In the speech, President Hindenburg officially announced that he would not participate in the general election held this year, and said that after the end of this term, he would step down and enjoy his retirement life.
The news quickly spread throughout the country and aroused heated discussions among the people of the country.
The people felt very complicated about President Hindenburg’s decision. Some people supported the old president’s decision. After all, the old president was already not young. He was nearly eighty years old. Even if he ran for election, he might not be able to stick to the next term. Instead of dying in office like President Will, it would be better not to participate in the next election. This is a good thing for the country and himself.
Of course, some people feel sorry for President Hindenburg. After all, he did a lot of things during his term!
However, after President Hindenburg expressed his position, everyone’s attention quickly focused on Mainz.
Since President Hindenburg has announced his withdrawal from the election, should the most popular Prime Minister Mainz come out to run for election?
The answer was soon revealed!
