Adrian's holiday in Marienburg is not destined to be too easy, not to mention that the war is draining the country's money and food, and the patience of the people is also suffering cruelly, he must turn the tide and use the capital of victory on the battlefield to achieve peace talks as soon as possible.

Although Adrian's "Paris Operation" did not bring any visible national dividends to Germany, it fundamentally eroded the confidence of the Entente to demand war reparations, and since then has allowed the Germans to lay down the "cross" of "defeat and surrender", and thus grasp the initiative to promote peace talks in the future.

While Adrian was on leave in the province of Marienburg, the offensive of the German Army Group C did not relax at all, and the troops continued to advance deep into the French mainland, and after constantly breaking through the defense line controlled by the remnants of the French army, the vanguard approached the British position on the right flank. The bewildered British army put up a weak resistance, and the British army, which was gradually isolated and helpless, began to panic due to the massive surrender of the American army and the siege of the commander-in-chief Pershing's department. At this time, the German army was still constantly strengthening the offensive, in panic, where could the British army care about what decency was not decent, all the way to the west, hastily fleeing, however, they were soon on the way again by the German Army Group B head-on block, the British army was flanked on both sides, heavy casualties, the battle did not last long, then chose to surrender on the initiative.

When he learned that the German representative sent to London, England to seek armistice negotiations, was the former Prince Likhnovsky, he set out from Washington with great interest, prepared to go directly to London, and planned to force Germany to sign the instrument of surrender by strong diplomacy and pay war reparations as soon as possible. Of course, this is because the more than 2 million American GIs in the United States of America have given him enough self-confidence, so he did not consider the factor of defeat in his own itinerary. Obviously, the short-sighted American representative largely underestimated the strength and courage of the German army, and was too superstitious about his own excellent weapons of war.

Stepping onto London soil and coming to greet him with British Prime Minister Lloyd? George gave him the jaw-dropping bad news, and his haughty smile quickly froze in the cold wind, replaced by panic and stunned. At this moment, the confident American negotiator was no longer thinking about asking Germany for less compensation, nor about forcing Germany to sign the instrument of surrender, but about knowing as soon as possible the attitude of the German army towards the captured and besieged American troops, and of course, the supply of troops and many other issues. And just when his eyes were dull and his expression was in a trance, General Pershing, the commander-in-chief of the US army, who had relied on his confidence, was taken back to London by the US Navy because he was wounded by a bullet, and he had to leave behind the nearly 500,000 American soldiers who had been besieged by heavy troops.

Eric who disappeared for three days in a row? Adrian returned to the Hanseatic Palace, and arrived in Berlin almost at the same time as Prince Likhnowski, a special envoy to England for peace talks. Although Adrian had high hopes for this trip to London, as the president of the Federal Republic of Germany, he also knew that the outcome of this negotiation would be unsatisfactory, but why did he send Prince Likhnovsky to Britain when he knew that there would be such a result? This brings us to Adrian's style. As former royalty, they still enjoy a reputation in the country, and there are many supporters in the country's top echelons, and in order to win over this part of the people, it is necessary to win over the most influential of them, Likhnovsky. However, everyone knew that Prince Likhnovsky was a self-proclaimed high-ranking man, and it was not good for such a person to give a small defeat without compensation, so Likhnovsky had such an opportunity to replace Miller in the London negotiations. The right to speak at the negotiating table depends on strength, and the reason why Adrian arranged it this way makes the deeper meaning clear, which not only shows Germany's attitude towards peace negotiations, but also paralyzes the simple and blindly confident brain of French President Poincaré, this is the mysterious Adrian, this is the mysterious President of the German Confederation.

The day after the German president's chief of staff, Lichnowski, returned to Berlin, the American negotiator and the British Prime Minister Lloyd? George followed on his journey to Berlin. After the start of the "Paris operation", the British royal family's impression of the German army plummeted, and at the same time, the Prime Minister Lloyd? George's trip to Berlin was also quite controversial, and he was forced to agree with Lloyd's opinion under pressure from the United States.

In the Hanseatic Palace in Berlin, Lichnowski reported to the president on this "ice and fire" trip to London, first talking about the embarrassment before the "Paris operation", and then talking about the raised eyebrows after the change of the tide of the war, and made Adrian laugh. At this time, Prime Minister Gustav? Stresemann came over: "Hello, Your Excellency the President and Mr. Likhnovsky, the chief of staff who has returned from England, I hope my presumptuous attitude did not disturb your pleasant conversation" Seeing that the two did not mind, he continued: "Oh thank you! Yes, the 'Paris operation' came at a small cost to the proud Americans, of course, because their authorities did not take the lives of their soldiers seriously. Now, they finally can't sit still and pull in Britain's wartime Prime Minister Lloyd? Mr. George, who has come to Berlin, seems to want to talk to us, and I would like to know what Mr. President wants from that...... Or whether to set up a German negotiating delegation......"

Adrian listened carefully to Stresemann's report, stared at Likhnovsky and said with a smile: "You see, our chief of staff is really popular, as soon as you get home, the British and Americans are chasing your ass and running over, I think so, people are coming, talks must be discussed, the key depends on how the two sides talk, Gustav, Likhnovsky, as well as Minister Miller and Deputy Minister Walter, you form a temporary negotiation delegation, of course, let the clerk record it in detail." In addition, it is necessary to plan and arrange the procedures for this negotiation, and let the British and American deputies eat and live well, so as not to lose German etiquette. Listen gentlemen, if the other party makes a plea of interests, you will pretend to be very embarrassed, and try to put the blame on me, all right, you are busy first, I should also go to the suburbs of Berlin to inspect the resumption of factory work, good luck gentlemen. ”

At the same moment, after General Pershing, commander-in-chief of the US European theater, was wounded and sent to London for treatment, the remaining US troops were leaderless and fled to the western coast of France. By the time the U.S. and British navies finally abandoned them, the German Army A and Army B had surrounded all the remnants of the U.S. army, about 300,000 men. Soon after, the US troops surrendered en masse, and immediately afterwards, Italy also announced its willingness to participate in the multilateral peace talks held in Berlin, and immediately sent representatives to Berlin.

On the same day that Italy announced its participation in the Berlin peace talks, French President Poincaré and Prime Minister Clemenceau were also freed and arrived in Berlin with German troops.

President Eric summoned the representatives of the four countries (Britain, France, the United States, and Italy) at the Hanseatic Palace at the same time, and announced the cessation of the war with the consent of the four countries, and decided to convene the Berlin Peace Conference at Bellevue Palace in Berlin on January 18, 1919, with the participation of both the Central and Allied powers.
