The city of Berlin covers an area of about 900 square kilometers, and in 1914 the suburbs accounted for 80% of the area, and at the end of 1920, due to the dense central area, a part of the surrounding suburbs was expanded, and the urbanization area reached 50%.

The trio are located in the heart of Berlin, one of the city's busiest streets, Unter den Linden.

"Where are we going next?" John was curious where the two would take him to see the scenery, and Berlin was a famous tourist city in Europe.

"Go back to the dorm." Li Jie's face was expressionless, and he seemed to have a grudge against John.

"It's a great day, go back to the dormitory?" John and Zhang Da didn't understand.

"I don't know where you got your confidence, but you've probably heard about German President Erik Adrian." Li Jie said seriously after standing up.

"Of course I know, it's hard to know such a legendary president." John wasn't joking, Erik's name was indeed thunderous, but he was more curious about what this nondescript name was all about.

Eric Adrian is not German, but English, and John Knight, who doesn't know much about German culture, knows that such names are often spelled temporarily.

"What are you thinking?" Li Jie saw that John was not listening to himself, but was thinking about things.

"I'm thinking about the name of this Mr. President, isn't it?" John Knight was referring to the name of a German president who turned out to be British.

"You still have limited understanding, it doesn't have to be German to know German names, the British also have them, and conversely, there are quite a few in Germany, what's so unusual?" Li Jie smiled, feeling that this week seemed to be a little tender.

"I heard that this president has lived in China for a few years, do you know?" John asked curiously.

"This... There are such rumors, but they are not verified, and people are very secretive about the background information about the president. Li Jie was a little embarrassed, he had been in Germany for two years, and he didn't even know the news of being a family member in Germany.

"It's weird, it's almost something that shouldn't have happened, but if you have the chance, you can ask." John Knight was just joking, and he didn't dare to think about seeing the president.

Hanseatic Palace.

"What? You say 1.2 million marks? "Voices from Yarmarshacht." No, it's too much, how much is it a year? Think the money is blowing in the wind? Opening and closing your mouth is a big number, not afraid of choking? ”

"Then you should say a number, 3 million is not good, 2 million is not good, Max Gu Chang gave a number of 1.2 million or not, you just say, how much are you willing to give!" It was Stresemann's voice, clearly a little emotional.

"200,000!" Yarma raised two fingers, and then added: "At most, more than this number, the Ministry of Finance will not participate in this military aid to China!" ”

Eric's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, but don't go overboard.

"Everyone, calm down, don't worry, in fact, you don't have to have financial assistance, think of a different way. Anyway, this money is for buying things, isn't it? Eric quickly persuaded him.

As the meeting continued, Eric's office was crammed with more than 30 people in the entire cabinet, which seemed very crowded, after all, it was not used for meetings, but only for temporary discussions.

As the agreement on military aid to China changes and involves more and more terms, key departments of the entire country are involved, and these executors and decision-makers must be involved, otherwise they will only be blinded after the incident.

But there is a problem when there are too many people, it is easy to make trouble, and things that would not have political differences may have a stalemate because they do not admit defeat, and Eric has to come out at this time to uphold justice and balance all parties.

"Convert it cheaper than the international market and replace direct economic aid with steel." Eric had a bad idea, although it was bad, but for Huaxia, the quality of German steel was impeccable.

As soon as these words came out, the people around them were secretly complaining, it was really picky, only lower than the international market is simply nonsense, how much can 200,000 marks buy? If it is an enterprise, it is just that, after all, it is the demand of a country, and 200,000 marks of steel can't even plug the gaps.

"I remember, that rep mentioned MG21, what is this?" Yarma is not very clear about the recent military developments, and although the MG21 literally means a weapon, and it is a machine gun, the development of German weapons is too fast and too mixed, and the difference in a number may be a world of difference.

"A new weapon, also a machine gun, is simpler than the MG20 and is half cheaper." Brauchitsch did not speak, and it was the commander-in-chief of the army, Rundstedt, who answered Arma.

Although Greece is fighting in full swing, it is not the turn of the commander-in-chief at all on such a scale, and even the instructions are false, and everything is commanded by the United Front Work Department. Hoffman's duty was to fight the war, the logistics were the responsibility of the Ministry of Defense, and the Army Headquarters was only a coordinating agency.

"Tell someone to get an MG21." Eric said nonchalantly.

"Get an MG21?" Rundstedt thought he had misheard, and then asked, "Brought here?" Hanseatic Palace? ”

"Yes, remember to bring bullets, otherwise where will you know the effect. To be honest, I haven't seen it either. "Eric really hasn't seen it, this gun hasn't started to be in mass service yet, it's just a trial equipment.

"Okay, don't fight for a little money, after all, we still have to receive a return, not a complete give." Eric calmed the officials present.

"Didn't there be a couple of good mountain guns before? I sent it, we don't plan to build it ourselves anyway, and it's good to sell it for some money. Eric suggested.

"That's Krupp's technology, if you want to sell it, they have to set the price, and we don't have the right to do so." It was Attorney General Max who answered Eric, who often reminded Eric of illegal operations, which made Eric speechless.

Eric was stunned by Max, and he didn't react for a long time, so he had to say stupidly: "Anyway, all those old equipment are sold, what's the use of keeping the technology?" Sell it. ”

"I remember that there were a few technologies that Argentina bought in 1919, and these few were definitely not going to work. Oh, and Chile bought it too. Max continued to remind him.

"Tell me, what else can I sell? And it's also suitable for Huaxia, don't keep denying me. "Eric was really slapped.

"Nope." This time, it was really not Max's Erik, but Defense Minister Brauchitsch, as the leader in charge of the national military department, who knew many projects well.

"None of them?" Eric's face was shocked.

"It was almost sold the year before last, and you even sold it yourself." Brauchitsch said half-jokingly.

Everyone immediately burst out laughing, although a lot of technology was sold at that time, but it was a major turning point to save Germany, successfully and quickly revitalized the country's economy, and sold well and well.

But now Germany doesn't dare to sell technology indiscriminately, because almost all of them are core technologies, which are related to national security.
