Chapter 2357: Butterfly Wings One
Hoffman leaned on his own crutches and came to the veterans’ supplies in the community again to fight the war. During the war, he joined the Stormtroopers of his division. They were the elite of the entire division. A unit composed of the most dedicated people, they are the spearhead of the German army's attack and the sharp sword that splits the enemy's defense line!
Among the Storm Commandos with a death rate as high as 30%, Hoffman participated in 5 battles, and because of his outstanding achievements, he was awarded the Melee Warrior Medal of the Storm Commandos by the Group Army. Stormtroopers with 3 assault missions! And only those who have made outstanding contributions can, and Hoffman has completed 5 times, and has the record of paralyzing British tanks with grenades twice! He eventually became a captain for his merits, and retired from the first-line unit due to a broken leg in the last battle.
Hoffman is especially grateful to his old boss. Although he withdrew from the front line, he still stayed in the army without his family during the war, and he was given a name. At the same time, he could get a salary and medicine to treat injuries. This kind of human touch made him have a strong sense of identity with the army. However, after the war ended, a large number of disarmament followed. Naturally, it was impossible for a person like him to stay in the army, so he was discharged from the army without any accidents, and returned to Hannover with most of his fellow countrymen. (The geography within the German army is very strong, and most of the personnel of an army come from one region.)
On this day, it was time to receive the living allowance for the next week. Hoffman came to the distribution station early. This is not to say that he was worried that too many people would not be able to receive it because of his physical disability. His colleagues used to respect him very much. , as long as he comes, no matter how many people are in front of him, and no matter whether he has his own boss before, he can follow the passage made by his former colleagues to collect his own living expenses, just relying on the special storm on his chest Team Melee Warrior Medal.
However, Hoffman doesn't want to be a special person, so he either comes earlier or later, for the convenience of himself and others.
"This is the certificate from the hospital and my service certificate." Hoffman stepped forward and presented the two certificates to the staff. The first certificate was the certificate issued by the hospital. With this, he can Receive some medicines to treat stomach problems. This is because he insisted on a certain support point on the front line alone in the previous battle. After eating raw food for almost a week, the root of the disease fell. According to the previous regulations, when he was sick, he could get related medicines for free , while the other is a certificate issued by the army to obtain a retirement deposit.
"Why is the compensation only 30 marks? If I remember correctly, I could receive a compensation of 60 marks a week before." Hoffman said with some dissatisfaction. The previous compensation was quite generous. After all, 60 marks a week, then 240 marks a month, and the annual salary of a skilled factory worker in Germany was about 1,000 marks. Of course, this was before the war.
"This is a new government regulation. The total amount of compensation remains the same, and part of the compensation is distributed in kind. So now, you may need a small cart to take back the food distributed this week." A worker brought up a bag full of flour and cans.
"Damn it, do you want me to use flour and cans to pay utility bills and rent?" Hoffman said angrily, but when he saw the hardened flour in the bag, the egg powder used to replace fresh eggs , and some kind of canned food printed with the words produced in 1910, Hoffman's face suddenly turned livid. This kind of thing was eaten when I first joined the army, because of the taste and preservation problems, the front-line army logistics personnel once refused to accept it! And now, these things seem to be handled by them!
"I refuse to accept this form of rubbish as compensation,
Please return my discharge certificate, I refuse to claim supplies for this week. "Hoffman said angrily.
"I just want to get the medicines I need this week and the reimbursement of the previous consultation fees." After a while, Hoffman handed over the hospital voucher again.
"Sorry, according to the new regulations, most of these medicines will no longer be provided by the government for free. The reimbursement ratio of medical expenses has also been adjusted, at least not now." The staff said with some embarrassment.
"It's not fair! When you are living leisurely in the city, I am fighting in the quagmire of the Western Front, death and terror follow me everywhere! I have fought for the Empire, and the Empire cannot have today's victory without us, and Now you are throwing us like a rag! You are not even as good as those Junker nobles! I see hypocrisy and ugliness in your actions!" Hoffman said loudly. "I will keep the right to appeal! Seek justice for me and my colleagues!"
However, at this time, more and more retired soldiers came to the distribution point. After witnessing the sudden drop in treatment, dissatisfaction and anger filled the crowd.
"We can't keep silent like this! We have to fight back! If the government is not willing to give us what we deserve, then we have to take it ourselves! The current government has been completely reduced to the puppets of capitalists and nobles! This empire also has our part share!" A voice sounded in the crowd, and then more and more people made similar calls.
After all, they came out of the army. Soon, some retired officers who had served as officers began to organize the crowd and lead the team towards the city center. This kind of situation didn't just happen in one place. Similar things happened in material distribution stations in many places in Hannover. After all, there are more than 7,000 disabled soldiers in Hannover alone, and most of the medical subsidies have been stopped. After that, it will undoubtedly be worse for their lives! More and more people began to gather towards the city hall from all directions. Looking from the air, it looked like a river flowing into the sea. Veterans and their families took to the streets, using parades to swear their anger.
"What are you doing? What are the police doing? Are those guys taking government salaries just to keep them indifferent?" On the same morning, Albert and others in Berlin received news about the riots in Hannover, because it is now It was a critical period of domestic politics, so I was not in Hamburg, the capital of Parliament Prussia, but in Berlin. So it was a little late for him to know about the situation.
