Fortunately, Fitch has the capital of the British Sun, so they are not worried about anything. Fitch also has its headquarters in the America, so the America does not need to worry.
German, France, Italy and Japan, on the other hand, have nothing to do with Fitch, but they are afraid that they will be miserable!
Thinking that there are four countries to take the blame for him, the British Sun suddenly felt much better.
They didn't seem to think that if this result was really unfavorable to German, would the penny-pinching German nod so easily?
Although Fitch is a British company, Fitch has long been acquired by the Goldman Sachs consortium, so Fitch can actually be regarded as German's asset. If they want to secretly insert some of their own people, it will naturally not be too difficult!
At this time, the gap in strength among the countries became apparent, because the national strength of the British Empire, America and German obviously exceeded that of the other three countries, causing the interests of the other three countries to be damaged before they were distributed. What's more terrifying is that they are completely unaware of this!
...
While Ribbentrop was busy in the foggy city, Mainz, who had been given a month's vacation, was forced to take a vacation.
Mainz's father, Admiral Edward von Lewinsky, was from East Prussia. After the Franco-Prussian War ended in 870, he moved to Berlin. Like his brother Manstein, Mainz was born in Berlin.
Therefore, after getting the vacation, Mainz returned to his hometown in Berlin, ready to visit his mother at home and visit his aunt's family who lived in the eastern suburbs of Berlin.
In order to ensure the inheritance of power and gain greater promotion, the Prussian Junker nobles generally gave birth to a large number of children, and most of these children also took military service as their career, taking the Lewinsky family born in Mainz as an example.
His grandfather had a total of 12 children. Due to the low medical level in the 19th century, four of the 12 children died early, and eight grew up, and these eight children were almost all related to the army.
Of the eight surviving children, five boys all joined the army. The highest ranking ones were Mainz's father, Edward von Lewinsky, and his uncle, Alfred von Lewinsky, both of whom were generals. The remaining three uncles were a major, a captain, and a second lieutenant, all of whom had low ranks. The oldest uncle died in the Austro-Prussian War and sacrificed his life for his country.
Mainz's three aunts all married officers of other Junker nobles, maintaining internal marriages among Junker nobles.
In Mainz's generation, he had many brothers and sisters.
Admiral Edward had a total of 11 children, including Mainz, including eight boys and three girls.
The eldest sister Agnes was 37 years older than Mainz. She was born in 1860 and married Lieutenant General Remar von Raven in 1878.
The youngest was Mainz's brother Manstein, born in 1887. Even though Manstein was the closest in age to Mainz, he was still ten years older than Mainz!
Admiral Edward had a son in his old age, and he never thought that he would get a baby son when he was nearly seventy years old, so he doted on this youngest child.
Of course, the fact that such an old man could still marry a young woman was also related to the age of Mainz's mother. The marriage of Junker nobles was generally old cows eating tender grass. Mainz's father was 20 years older than his mother!
So when his father was already old, his mother looked like an elegant lady and did not look particularly old.
Of course, that was also a matter of twenty years. The old lady was over seventy years old at this time.
Because of the huge age gap with his brothers and sisters, Mainz actually didn't like to go back to this home. Since he became the commander-in-chief of German's three armies, Mainz's personal time has become less and less. In this case, it is difficult to go home even if he wants to!
Marshal Hindenburg was right. The old man was quite concerned about Mainz's marriage.
Especially after Mainz became German's prime minister, the people who went to their house to matchmake were almost trampling down the threshold of their house!
The old lady's name was Helen von Sperling. She was the daughter of another Junker noble family, the Sperling family. The aristocratic education she received since childhood made the old lady seem very reasonable. Although she was very concerned about Mainz's marriage and was anxious to have a grandson as soon as possible, she did not want to force Mainz to make a choice. For Mainz, his current status no longer required marriage with any family.
He could completely choose the most suitable person according to his own preferences, and did not need to accept arranged marriages like their generation.
It can be seen that the old lady was very upset about marrying an old man who was 20 years older than her!
"Did your uncle mention your marriage?"
Although the old lady was old, she was not confused at all. After hearing that Mainz returned home under the coercion of President Hindenburg, the old lady curled her lips and immediately realized that this might be a political move. Hindenburg must have some plan, but he just didn't express it clearly.
"Yes, he also asked me to go to my aunt and ask her for help!"
Mainz's aunt was named Gertrude von Sperling, the youngest daughter of the Sperling family, 13 years younger than his mother, and married to Field Marshal Hindenburg.
Due to her age, the aunt, who was only in her sixties this year, had much more energy and time than his own mother, so seeking help from the little aunt was not a bad idea.
"Haha, I'm afraid it's not that simple!"
After hearing what he said, Mainz's mother sneered and said
"Oh? Mother, you mean..."
Mainz had actually guessed something, but due to ethical reasons, he had never thought about it. But now looking at his mother's expression, he felt that the possibility of such a thing was becoming more and more likely!
"You have a cousin who is 7 years younger than you. She is 18 years old this year and is of marriageable age!"
Sure enough!
Mainz was shocked, but then he was relieved.
Just as he guessed, Hindenburg had the idea of marrying into their family. However, Hindenburg's daughter should be his cousin. Letting him marry his cousin?
Mainz felt it was a bit outrageous!
""Ahem, mother, I have something else to do. I have to go to Hamburg and may not be back for a while. I have called my brother, and he will be back to take care of you during this time!"
After Mainz got the exact answer, he decided to take the initiative to resolve this crisis.
Hindenburg asked him to marry his daughter because he wanted to strengthen the relationship with their Levinsky family. However, Mainz did not want to accept an arranged marriage, let alone with his cousin. He couldn't get over it psychologically!
Moreover, the white figure at the Berlin ball had stayed in his heart for three years. Calculating the time, the girl should have graduated, right?
Mainz's mother was not too surprised that her son was in a hurry to leave not long after returning home.
"Go ahead, go early and come back early, don't return empty-handed and let me down!"
Sure enough, from the old mother's last words, it can be heard that she has guessed the purpose of his trip!
It's okay if she guessed it, it's not a shameful thing anyway!
He quickly bought the ticket and, under the protection of several SS soldiers, Mainz boarded the train to Hamburg.
On the train, he began to worry: If Hindenburg knew about his decision, how would he feel?
