The office building of the Naval Reform Commission was located in an art gallery next to the former Prince Palace, and after the establishment of the Federal Republic of Germany, this large area was converted to government offices, and the exhibition hall was also vacated.

In the conference room, Eric was distributing the work of the people present.

"Redman is in charge of the work of the battleship team, this is your letter of appointment, you can find the following seminar members yourself, what kind of technicians or designers you need, etc., you can ask Minister Hans Luther and Minister Brauchitsch to arrange for you."

Redman stood in front of the podium and went to his own office under the guidance of the staff after receiving the letter of appointment.

"Lütjans is in charge of the cruiser group, come up." Eric also issued a letter of appointment.

Then there were the appointments of the other groups, such as Dönitz being assigned to the submarine team, but the fact that Salvatteshi was the deputy head of the group did not seem to be too strange to others.

It was only the situation of the aircraft carrier group led by a colonel that really surprised those present, and exclaimed that Eric was using people on a meritocracy regardless of age.

Neither Brauchitsch nor Hippert dared to question that Eric's prestige was too high, and that such an arrangement had been forcibly intervened in the absence of practical results in the navy.

Just when everyone thought Eric would leave the scene after laying out the work, he said.

"Don't slack off, I will live here, and when your results satisfy me, I will go back, and until then Mr. Prime Minister will be fully responsible." It's not the first time that Eric dares to play like this, saying that he won't go to work if he can't go to work, and Stresemann doesn't care, this is not the first time that this situation has become his habit.

For more than ten consecutive days starting from September 7, Eric stayed in the prince's palace temporarily, without a lot of government affairs, and went door to door every day to point fingers, and everyone was not disgusted, but enjoyed the president's attention.

On the night of September 19, Eric was about to finish his day's bedtime when he was woken up by Stresemann, who was hurrying in.

"Has the intelligence confirmed?" Eric frowned, in a bad mood.

"It's confirmed, I've also inquired about the UK, and I've got the same news." Stresemann said, holding back his anger.

"British?" Eric asked himself first. "Yes, they have been coveting Siam for a long time."

It was already cold in September, but Eric felt that he was not cold at all, but a little angry because of his anger.

"What's the reaction of the British?" Eric thought for a moment and sat down at the table.

"What else, they will be happy to see that we may have a falling out with Siam." Stresemann said truthfully.

"Call Klug." After Eric finished speaking, he began to dress, no longer a military uniform, but a simple suit, and it seemed that he was about to start returning to the office.

Accompanied by the Security Bureau, Eric returned to the Hanseatic Palace overnight. The staff, who had already left work, also returned to the Hanseasa Palace under the leadership of Annata, after all, they were also very unhappy that something had happened.

Stresemann's information was relayed by Kluger, who rushed to the office after being summoned by Eric.

"Do we have anyone in Siam?" Eric didn't talk nonsense, there were just the two of them here, and everyone else was waiting in the hall and break room.

"Yes, it's just that the level is not high, after all, it takes some time for downline training." Kluge replied skillfully.

"Can you help me kill a few people?" Eric asked calmly.

"It depends on what you kill." Kluger's personal assassination orders have long been countless, and such orders are naturally readily available.

"Kill the British ambassador to Siam, if it doesn't work, kill a few citizens, and borrow the hands of Japan to do this. Make some contradictions and make Japan and Britain turn their faces! "Eric has already turned his anger into the power of revenge along the way.

"It's not difficult, it just takes some time." Klug pondered for a while and gave an affirmative answer, not to mention that Eric gave such an order, even if the matter passed in the end, Earhart, who was on a foreign visit to Siam on behalf of Germany, survived miraculously in the end, and Klug would retaliate in private.

"Don't worry, it just so happens that the matter in Italy is not over yet, and it is not suitable to make any more contradictions, let's fight a diplomatic war first, and let Heinrich speak on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to condemn the barbaric acts of Japan and Siam." After Eric finished speaking, he asked Ananta to invite the other officials to the conference room, and then conveyed his arrangements.

"The United States is good to say, it has long been at odds with Japan, and public condemnation is not a problem, but it may be necessary for Secretary Miller to personally discuss the official statement." Walter was the deputy foreign minister, a veritable head of the foreign ministry during Miller's time abroad.

"Where would Americans speak so easily for us, don't look at wearing a pair of pants on the surface, which is actually not a secret money transaction." It was Almar Schacht who spoke, who was equally sympathetic to the beating and serious injury he suffered by a Japanese naval officer in Siam. But Eric obviously did not intend to condemn it so easily this time, and it is true that a German ambassador was beaten, which is indeed a very face-saving thing and has a great impact on Germany's international reputation.

"At the end of the day, I can't even believe that the Japanese would dare to beat Earhart to the point of serious injury." Eric is much calmer now, and when he thinks back to this sudden incident, he feels that there is something strange everywhere.

"I feel the same way, Japan has always had business dealings with us, and although the II tank was not bought, and the production line was not sold, it was not to hurt our ambassador in a fit of rage, which is incredible." Kluge was quick to voice his doubts after Eric calmed down.

"Check carefully, who is doing the ghost here, although it is indeed the Japanese who did it, but who dares to guarantee that no one else interferes?" Eric said solemnly.

"What has Earhart been up to lately?" Eric asked Walter.

"According to the telegram he sent back, the day before yesterday, the last resource deal had been finalized with the Siamese side." Walter struggled to remember, and then said, "It's tin." ”

"Gone?" Eric still didn't think there was anything strange about it.

It's just that Walter had just finished speaking, but Klug suddenly realized.

"I know."

"You say." Eric looked at Klug and seemed to find something.

"Several tin mining areas in Siam are west of Siam, close to British territory..." Although Kluger's sentence did not name anyone, it made everyone wake up.

This can explain why Japan dared to fall out with Germany without being recruited, and there was the support of the British behind this, and now Germany, whose navy is like mud, is not even better than Britain, not to mention that it is not necessarily very good compared with Japan, let alone with the backing.

"They wanted Germany to send troops to attack Siam, so that they could take the opportunity to intervene." To say that Stresemann is the prime minister is to say that Britain's purpose is in one sentence.

Because Britain shares a direct border with Siam, it is not ideal for them to take the initiative to create contradictions, and there will be a lot of opposition at home, and Japan wants to intervene, but whether the United States agrees or not is another matter. If Germany had intervened, it would have been easier.

Germany and the United States can come together, and there is no contradiction between the two countries in Asia, and there is no problem in persuading the United States to help, although the Soviet Union is far away, it is a decisive force restraining Japan, and Japan is still very scrupulous. But Germany still had a good relationship with the Soviet Union, dragging Germany into the water, and then everyone intervened together, everyone was happy, even if Germany finally got some benefits, its roots in Asia were not deep enough, and it was insignificant.

"Interesting, let's set a set, this bend is really far enough, Japan also eats us and we don't dare to find trouble with them, and will only be rough with Siam, Britain is naturally not afraid, and in the end it can take the opportunity to start." After Eric finished speaking, he walked around the conference room and said: "Klug, continue to do the previous things, don't have scruples, those who dare to give Eric's eye medicine will also have a price, during the day, Heinrich will first condemn Japan and Siam on behalf of Germany, don't make demands, wait for news from the British." ”

Eric stood in front of everyone and said with a smile: "Our Mr. Earhart has been beaten, but it may give Germany a chance to regain its foothold in Asia." Find him the best doctor, and let him continue to preside over German diplomacy in the Far East after he recovers from his injuries. If Britain dares to send it, Germany will dare to ask for it. ”
