The Bundeswehr's war against Italy ended abruptly with the intervention of the United States, Britain, France and other countries, and what was the biggest gain, I am afraid that the entire Wehrmacht and domestic politicians have different opinions, including Eric.

The Wehrmacht, especially the First Field Army, built by Eric, in the later stages of the German-Italian War, can be said to have not achieved the expected goals at all, and many problems arose.

The combat effectiveness of the redundant mixed field divisions is not as strong as people think, and as a result, it leads to a blind increase in troops, which adds tremendous pressure to the long period of logistical supply, and the combat efficiency is also very low.

Eric is not a man to admit death, and in light of this, he begins to make up his mind to rectify it.

On October 7, the day after the National Day military parade, when the people of the whole country were still immersed in the festive atmosphere of universal celebration, Eric was ready to take advantage of the festive atmosphere to take advantage of the enthusiasm of the festive atmosphere to move on officers and soldiers at all levels.

Early in the morning, in accordance with the order issued by the president, Ananta notified the cabinet of government officials at and above the level of deputy ministerial, the marshal of the army, the commander-in-chief of the group army, the United Front Work Department and other decision-making levels to gather at the Hansa Felt Palace.

At 9 a.m., the cabinet members, who had arrived early, sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere and sat in their respective positions. At this point, Eric didn't say a word, leaned sideways on the main seat and pretended to stare out the window as if nothing happened, his left ring finger tapping on the solid wood tabletop.

Brauchitsch was one of the first in the military to reach the conference room, and he did not expect the president to be waiting for everyone in the conference room so early.

Many people began to talk to each other quietly, not knowing much about this emergency meeting and not knowing what was happening, especially Eric's expression at this time, which was in great contrast to the euphoric atmosphere of yesterday.

"Your Excellency, Mr. President, seems to be very unhappy today, so you should be careful." Stresemann touched Brauchitsch lightly.

After a busy night, he was yawning now, and he was anxious to get home to make up for a nap.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but I have just been notified, but although the German-Italian battle was won slightly, Mr. President does not seem to be satisfied, especially in the area of land cession, which has been angered by many British......," Brauchitsch looked at Annata to confirm his suspicions.

"This page has been turned, isn't it, Your Excellency, and I have done it myself, and I have acquiesced in it, Mr. President." Streismann did not want today's emergency meeting to come with his own problems.

All eyes were on Annata.

"Oh! My God! You guys...... Don't look at me, okay, I don't really know, yes, only God knows, yes, and the president knows. Ananta shrugged helplessly, her hands waving in an extremely exaggerated manner.

As the minutes ticked by, Eric kept staring out the window, not seemingly intending to start the agenda of the meeting right away.

Ananta carefully placed a stack of papers in front of Eric and gently reminded, "Mr. President, everyone is here, can the meeting begin?" ”

Since Eric didn't mention the contents of the emergency meeting when he asked Ananta to send out the notice of the meeting, she also felt very sudden, and the information and psychology were not ready.

Eric ignored Ananta and continued to look out the window.

"Hell, Mr. President is busy all day and didn't rest all night last night, could something be wrong?" Interior Minister Hans Luther was not worried about Eric's distraction, but about his body.

Everyone knows that Eric cannot fall, and now the whole of Germany is relying on this strange ruler, once Eric's body collapses, the towering edifice that the German Confederation has managed to stand up will collapse with a bang, and the national front that has just gathered will face a crisis again.

Hans Luther was not alone, but others were beginning to feel the same way.

Chancellor Gustav von Stresemann felt that something was wrong and got up to go to the presidential guard to ask about the situation: "Was Mr. President here all night?" What happened last night? ”

Hou Wei replied coldly: "Your Excellency, honorable Prime Minister, in addition to being responsible for the personal safety of Mr. President, I will not ask about any other affairs of the President, and I have nothing to say. I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Prime Minister. ”

Stresemann, who had touched a gray nose in front of a small soldier, was not happy, and for the sake of consideration, he had to send someone to ask the vice president and the presidential health doctor to rush to the national conference hall of the Hansa Felt Palace.

Stresemann, who was already sleepy, was already in a cold sweat at this time, he knew very well what President Erik Adrian meant to the Federal Republic of Germany, but the scene in the national hall of the Hansa Felth Palace was so deadlocked, which was panicking.

Half an hour had passed, and a white-bearded old man in the field marshal's dress suddenly appeared at the door, this was Paul von Hindenburg, whom Stresemann had urgently invited to calm the scene.

"Dear Mr. Vice President, look at this ......" Stresemann hurriedly walked over and quietly pointed at Eric, who was about to say something.

Hindenburg immediately interrupted him with a large fat hand, and then very calmly motioned for everyone to sit down: "Quiet, your Excellency!" The vultures can't descend the tigers, the wolves can't take the moon, and the wisest president of the German Confederation will never fall! What are you panicking about? Let's keep waiting. ”

Hoffmann, chief of the General Staff of the United Front Work Department, immediately got up, found a seat next to Hindenburg, and waited quietly for Eric with the entire cabinet members. The presidential health care doctor, who arrived with him, was motioned by Hindenburg to the guards to block the door and did not enter.

At this point, Hindenburg is more sober than anyone else, and how similar Eric's current state is to himself two years ago, this is a brutal struggle deep inside, and Eric must overcome himself on his own.

The rattling of the bells in the National Chamber of Parliament made a ticking sound, and Anata, the head of the presidential office, anxiously rubbed her hands back and forth, looking at this and that, and then focusing on Eric. At 11 o'clock, Eric's eyes began to focus, and he blinked a few times in succession, and shifted his body to sit upright.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after careful consideration, combined with the current size and actual combat effectiveness of the National Defense Force, we must now make up our minds to do two things well." Eric glanced at everyone present with a sharp eye, making eye contact with almost everyone.

"Disarmament!" Eric said in a reassuring tone.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and there was a little chaos in the council hall suddenly, but it didn't take long for it to automatically quiet, because it was the Federal President sitting in front of them, not to mention that the disarmament of the German Confederation was not an uncommon thing, and it was usually going on.

The generals who have led the troops for a long time know that replacing the old with the new is the need to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops, and besides, the downsizing of the troops is also an unspoken rule of various countries in peacetime, so the participants did not feel that there was anything wrong with President Eric's approach.
