This time was a few days faster than Mainz expected. He had originally prepared for a head-on battle with the Junker nobles, but he found that these people were not effectively organized at all. The Junker nobles were indeed very powerful, but in front of the army, their loose organizational structure naturally could not withstand the thunder of the army!
What’s more, the speed of the German army was too fast, and they had no time to prepare at all.
Mainz was sitting in Königsberg, the capital of East Prussia.
The Minister of the Interior, Little Mustache, had just arrived here by plane. As soon as he got off the plane, he was immediately borrowed by the car arranged by Himmler and sent directly to Mainz!
Seeing the panting Little Mustache, Mainz poured him a glass of water and asked,”Do you know why I called you here so anxiously?”
Mainz stared into the eyes of Little Mustache and asked him.
The mustache is from the civilian class, not the Junker nobles, so he has no good feelings towards these Junker nobles who suck blood from the whole country.
In real history, the relationship between the mustache and the Junker nobles was not very good.
The power of the Junker nobles was too great, and it posed a great threat to the mustache, so the mustache always wanted to eradicate the Junker nobles.
But the mustache still didn’t dare to do it, because after disbanding the SA, the mustache actually chose the National Defense Forces controlled by the Junker nobles, and did not choose his own private armed SS SA. This decision meant that the mustache could not do anything to the Junker nobles. If he really dared to do so, he might be overthrown by the Junker nobles in a minute.
No one likes to be threatened by others, especially the mustache as the head of state.
At this moment, even if the mustache is not the head of state, he hates the Junker nobles, these vampires.
Therefore, the man with a mustache strongly supports Mainz’s campaign to clear out the Junker nobles. After all, these daring guys actually dared to openly commit treason, so there is no need for them to tolerate this group of people anymore!
“You know, after cleaning up the Junker nobles in East Prussia, we need to quickly clean up and confiscate the properties owned by the Junker nobles, sort out these properties and lands as soon as possible, and then incorporate them into the national treasury system!”
The little mustache has been working as the Minister of the Interior for more than a year, and he is now very proficient in his business.
So after receiving Mainz’s order, the little mustache thought about it on the way and roughly guessed Mainz’s intention. Mainz nodded. The little mustache guessed well. He did have this intention when he asked the little mustache to come.
“Prussia is the base camp of the Junker nobles. West Prussia is easier to deal with, as it was classified as Poland for a period of time after the war. Therefore, the Junker nobles here suffered a big blow and are not very strong.
However, the situation in East Prussia is more complicated.
The power of the Junker nobles here has not been weakened.
In addition, this has been the base camp of the Junker nobles for centuries.
Their infiltration and operations in the local area are the most serious.
Simply eliminating them is not enough to break this monopoly and destruction.
That will only cause the existing order to collapse completely.
If you want to re-establish the order of action, you must carry out more detailed and comprehensive work.
This is why I called you here!
”
When the little mustache heard Mainz’s words, he subconsciously said,”General, are you planning to immigrate here?” Mainz looked at the little mustache with approval. It seemed that the little mustache had indeed made a lot of progress, and he understood what he said at once.
“Well, I do have such a plan.
Except for those who will be publicly sentenced and punished, the rest of the people, including their family members, will not be allowed to stay in East Prussia.
Otherwise, relying on the accumulated power of the Junker nobles for hundreds of years, they will be deprived of their aristocratic status.
I am afraid that the local civilians will still not be able to change their fear and obedience to them in a short time, and they will still ride on the heads of the people and act tyrannically!
”
“Therefore, I plan to transfer them out and place them in big cities like Berlin and Munihei, or send them to places like the Ruhr Industrial Zone, and disperse them and place them as ordinary citizens or workers. In this way, they will have no capital and land to settle down. In order to survive, they must integrate into the local society as soon as possible, which will fundamentally destroy their noble lifestyle.”
The mustache hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn’t dare to.
Mainz glanced at him. With his understanding of the mustache, he probably guessed what the mustache was going to say.
“Are you asking me why I don’t just kill all these people to prevent future troubles?”
The mustache man was shocked and looked at Mainz in surprise. He didn’t expect that General Mainz could guess his thoughts.
“Yes, I’m a little curious.……”
The mustache man felt a little bit on edge. He hadn’t shown any signs at all. How could General Mainz see through his mind so quickly? Did he have the ability to read people’s minds?
If that was the case, it was too scary.
“Do you know how many Junker nobles there are?”
Mainz did not directly respond to this question, but turned around and asked the mustache a question.
It was not surprising that the mustache wanted to kill these people to eliminate future troubles. To be honest, Mainz had thought about this before, but he quickly gave up the idea!
“No, I don’t know……”
The mustache lowered his head in shame. As the Minister of the Interior, one of his duties was to check the population and household registration in the country. Although the Junker nobles were nobles, they were also part of Hans, so there must be survey data about them.
As the Minister of the Interior, he didn’t know this number, which seemed a bit dereliction of duty.
Fortunately, Mainz didn’t pursue this. After hearing the mustache’s answer, he directly revealed the answer.
“The total number of Junker nobles is 650,000!”
“So many?”
Hearing this number, the mustache man was shocked!
More than 600,000 people, if they were all killed, wouldn’t there be a river of blood?
If they were enemies, then they would be killed. In the previous German-Polish War, General Mainz had surrounded and annihilated hundreds of thousands of Polish troops, and he didn’t show mercy or be soft-hearted at that time.
It can be seen that he is not afraid of killing, and the reason why he did not kill the Junker nobles must be other considerations.
“In fact, the real number is more than this. These 650,000 are only those who are implicated in this incident and need to be cleared out. There is also a group of nobles who are not involved. Their number has not been counted yet. However, no matter whether they are involved or not, I will eradicate them this time. And since we have to deal with everyone, we can’t just kill them!”
The man with a mustache frowned and thought for a while, trying to digest the meaning of Mainz’s words.
He thought about it and asked tentatively:”General, you mean to only kill the main culprit and not implicate the innocent?”
Mainz nodded approvingly:”The two criteria of judging the main culprit and the innocent are in our hands, so their life and death will be determined by us. I can let go of their women, children and the elderly, but I can’t let go of every head of the Junker noble family, unless they are really not involved. Otherwise, anyone involved in this matter will be severely punished!”
The man with a mustache felt a strong murderous intent from Mainz’s words. It seemed that General Mainz did not want to kill people, but did not want to expand the scope of attack and cause more casualties!
However, one thing is certain, this time the Junker nobles are likely to disappear completely from Hans!
I am afraid that there will no longer be such a special class as the Junker nobles in the future!
“What you need to do is to make a list of these people as quickly as possible, count the properties and lands under their names, and nationalize them all. Those Junker nobles who were not involved in this matter can be allowed to retain part of their properties. As for those who are implicated, all the heads of the families will be arrested, and each family member will be given 100 marks for travel expenses, and they will be sent to big cities and the Ruhr industrial area for resettlement!”
“The Ruhr Industrial Zone has been complaining about the lack of labor. Now, I have sent them 500,000 or 600,000 laborers. That should be enough for them to last for a while, right?”
