Chapter 39: Pressure

Adrian and Faulk talked until Moltke and Hindenburg left, and they didn't stop because Fawke's wife found the prince's palace dignitaries.

Adrian didn't know until late when he returned to the manor, but Sylna was still on the couch reading a book while waiting for him to return, which moved him for a while and felt a little guilty. After staying warm in the hall with Sheena for a while, Sheena finally fell asleep like a docile rabbit in Adrian's arms, Adrian didn't dare to gasp for breath, so he found a relatively comfortable position and closed his eyes to rest for a while.

It's just that Adrian came back very late, and before he could sleep for long, an officer rushed to the manor, and it was not easy to disturb the scene in front of him, he didn't dare to anger Eric Adrian, the identities of the two were too far apart, so he had to send someone to call Adrian's secretary general. However, when the secretary general heard the news, without thinking about it, he went to Brauchitsch, who was preparing for the Air Force Arms Acquisition Conference, but the latter said that he could not do anything because he did not dare. Although Brauchitsch was brought up by Eric Adrian, it stands to reason that the two would be very close, but Brauchitsch regarded Adrian as someone he needed to admire from the bottom of his heart. The secretary general, who could only hope that Adrian would wake up earlier, conveyed the order not to wake up the general office, and then told the two military bigwigs the "news" that Adrian was entangled in official business. The latter two didn't find it strange when they heard it, but it was really Adrian's style.

Without Adrian's participation, the arms purchase conference was still officially opened, and Brauchitsch led the aviation manufacturing industry with ease, even the slightly larger furniture factories, and all the enterprises that could be linked to the aviation industry were encircled.

According to Adrian's plan, Brauchitsch presented the projects in the form of a curtain, and began the bidding with the bidding method that had been temporarily changed yesterday. Moltke Jr. and Hindenburg were still only in the stage of detecting the enemy's situation, and they were ignorant of the requirements for mounting weapons and other performance indicators. This slow process led to the fact that the project that should have been tendered in the morning was not halfway through by noon. Anthony Faulk, one of the main business owners this time, has gathered a large number of small business owners around him, and seeing that today's meeting seems to be a little different from last week's meeting, he can't help but wonder what is going on. Just when the business owners who were waiting for the results of the bidding were grumbling, Eric Adrian finally appeared. Anthony Falk then understood why today's meeting was so different, because the experts were not there. Considering the knowledge of the two upstairs, it is clear.

Eric Adrian greeted and shook hands one by one without blushing and heartbeat, and stopped and nodded at a distance, striving to make sure that everyone was taken care of, not distinguished by strength. The two upstairs had already guessed that Adrian was coming, and then motioned to Brauchitsch not to explain any more, and then little Moltke said: "It's been several days in a row, and it's a delay to come every day, since he's here, let him deal with it himself, let's go first." Then Moltke got up and was about to leave, and Hindenburg reacted in the same way. In fact, the two of them can see that although these projects are good, they are all flowers in the mirror, flashy, as far as the tank project is concerned, Moltke Jr. has gradually calmed down, and the understanding of the past few days has also made him understand that even if the tank is really produced and delivered, it will not be able to form a scale in terms of quantity, with his idea, it is not bad to be able to make a battalion, but this will not play any role, and it will not help the overall situation. So his thinking began to be active again on the idea of unlimited submarine warfare, but Adrian never mentioned it in the past few days, and occasionally brought it up, and Adrian also kept silent. To be honest, the two of them are very angry, except for their military ranks, the ranks of the three are all superiors and subordinates. Strictly speaking, Adrian only needs to carry out this order, but he has some appeal and influence that cannot be ignored, and he can completely influence a part of the House of Lords. And they also need Adrian's support to make the operation more perfect, since Adrian has seized the power of the military economy, three of the five quartermaster chiefs of the General Staff are vacant, and the remaining two are only directly subordinate to the Strategic Planning and Mobility Component of the General Staff, and the Tactical and Organizational Mobility Division. In order to get enough logistical supplies, it is necessary to go through this military and economic department, which is independent of the General Staff, and Hindenburg now feels a little that this original proposal is really a living lifting of a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

Adrian learned that the two were leaving, and he didn't stay long, knowing that the two were busy, and taking some time to come and see it every day was already a support for his work. But unexpectedly, little Moltke, who had already reached the stairs, turned back with Hindenburg.

Seeing little Moltke turn back, Adrian was also a little strange for a moment.

Moltke took off the fur and said: "Tomorrow in the House of Lords will be convened again to restart the resolution of unrestricted submarine warfare, you think about it, think about those who died and are dying and will die on the front line, how much they hope that the war will end soon." After that, Moltke left without regard to Adrian's reaction.

Adrian was stunned at this point, firstly, he had not received any news about the resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare tomorrow, and secondly, he did not understand why Moltke Jr. would emphasize such war-weariness words. Adrian was not surprised that Moltke Jr. and Hindenburg saw that the arms purchase they had made was actually a smoke bomb to divert their attention, but it was strange why their patience was so poor.
