Chapter 351: East Asian Interests
Madina had indeed moved from Adrian Manor to the Presidential Palace, and now she was as happy as a bird in her commute to and from work.
The extended Mercedes Benz has also been parked at Adrian Manor, and she doesn't want to drive over, because Geihard is a strong person, and for his little dignity, no matter how much he persuades, he refuses to ask for a car, since he is in a dilemma, this is quite good.
After not seeing Eric in two days, Madina was disappointed.
When she got off work, Anata told her that the president might come back for dinner today, and Madina was very happy to hear the news, and she personally "showed her skills" in the back kitchen, making the only tomato caviar she could get her hands on, ready to let Eric try his craft, but Eric did not return until the logistics office got off work.
Disappointed, Madina decided to go out for a walk and have some fun outside.
As soon as he walked to the door of the secretariat, he saw Eric's Mercedes Benz rushing into the compound at high speed, and then the official cars of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Justice, the Joint Investigation Bureau, the Joint Intelligence Agency, and the Military Intelligence Agency also entered the presidential palace one after another.
After the motorcade came to a halt, the chiefs of various departments hurriedly got out of the car and followed Eric closely behind him into the presidential meeting hall No. 1.
Madina flashed to the side, panicked, and her professional habits drove her to wonder what was going on.
So he quietly followed these people, pretending to be a staff member to bring tea and water to the officials, and sneaked into the No. 1 conference hall.
I don't know if he was worried that the secrecy measures in Room 1 were not satisfactory or because he felt that Room 1 was too empty, and before everyone could take their seats, Eric turned around and led everyone away, and finally chose to go to his office.
Madina wanted to find out, but found nothing, so she had no choice but to return to her residence.
Eric sat down in his high-backed chair with a solemn expression, pulled a brand new cigar from the small wooden box on the desk, put it to his mouth, and then pulled the gasoline lighter up and down for a while.
The lighter rattles, and wisps of green smoke begin to emerge from the mouthpiece of the cigar as the yellow flame ignites.
"Tell me, what do you think about this?" Eric said unhurriedly.
First of all, there is a conflict of interest between Germany and Japan in Dongzhou Bay, Huaxia, and at the same time, General Thoth's military aid is extremely sensitive, and the Japanese have long been vigilant, because the growth of the Huaxia National Army Air Force will pose a great threat to Japan's invasion in the northern part of Huaxia. Now, the strongest evidence is that the British police found the remnants of toxins produced by the Japanese side in the bedroom of General Toth's shipyard. FBI Director Oliver analyzed.
"Oliver's analysis is only an inference at the moment, do you disagree?" Eric asked questions out loud to the attendees.
"I also think that it is very likely that the Japanese committed the crime, but General Tall was killed on a British cruise ship, and the British bear unshirkable responsibility for this......" The director of the CIA, Colmar von Ramsden, suggested that a note be sent immediately to the Japanese and British embassies in Berlin to seek a fair account, and to ask the British Government to take decisive action to impose sanctions and international arrest on the country where the murderer was located and the murderer.
"I have a different view on the analysis of the two directors. The reason is very simple, although General Thoth's aid to foreign countries is not a secret, but the place of the crime is on the way abroad, even if there is a possibility of assassination by the Japanese, it will not be so blatant, and General Thoth's itinerary is very tight, it is impossible for the Japanese to quickly organize such a rigorous assassination operation, as for the remnants of the toxin developed by the Japanese were found at the scene of the crime, it cannot be ruled out that someone framed ...... "Earhart Cecil, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, believes that the Americans and the British have a strong purpose.
Next, Acting Minister of Justice Obaden von Holwig, Minister of Defense Walter Brauchitsch, Air Force Commander-in-Chief Hugo Sspeller, Navy Commander-in-Chief Franz von Hipper, and others all expressed their views on Japan, and at the same time held that the British Government had an unshirkable responsibility and did not rule out the possibility of collusion.
Eric silently looked at the officials in the room, wanting to hear what else they had to say.
The Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs, Konstantin von Cowwright, made a final statement, suggesting that the British and Japanese embassies in Berlin immediately send a note to the British and Japanese embassies in Berlin naming the assassination of General Toth as the "August 26 Incident," initiating international dispute proceedings, and ordering the British Government to bring the suspects to justice.
Even if it does not achieve the desired goal, it can be used to divert public attention and reduce the pressure on countries to hold back Germany's vigorous military buildup.
Konstantin's words were echoed by the majority.
"There is some truth in everyone's opinions and inferences, and I think that any conclusion can only remain at the level of speculation under the premise that the facts of the case are not completely clear, but this does not prevent us from immediately starting the process of seeking explanations from the Japanese and British governments." Eric got up from his presidential seat and slowly walked to the middle of the office, snorting his cigar.
In the thick smoke, Eric had an inscrutable expression.
The eyes of Brauchitsch and the others kept moving with the figure of the president, and they didn't know what decision Eric was going to make next.
"Mr. Andreas von Schmidt has been formally appointed as German Ambassador to Great Britain, and will depart for London tomorrow afternoon to take up his duties, and to make solemn representations with the British Government on the 'August 26 Incident' in cooperation with Max. In addition, at the same time, he sent a telegram ordering Mr. General Counsellor to return to China in the near future and go to Huaxia with Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Rathenau to deal with the aftermath of General Thoth. Eric turned to Konstantin and said.
"This can't be cheap, the Japanese! Mr. President, the account of Siam's humiliation of the German envoys has not yet been settled, and this time it has intensified and murdered our generals, and it is time to settle the account with them! Rundstedt got up from his seat with a "sudden".
Eric hurriedly beckoned him to sit down, and Rundstedt sat down obediently, but always resentful in his heart.
"The debts owed by the Japanese must be settled, but not now, Your Excellency General, because we are not capable of doing this now, the Japanese have been operating in the northeastern part of Huaxia for many years, and their power is very strong. According to reliable information, Japan has always been eyeing China's treasure land in Huaxia Dongzhou Bay, and if we push too quickly, not only will we not be able to solve the problem, but Dongzhou Bay may also be in a passive position or even lost forever. The August 26 Incident was the beginning of friction and incidents between Japan and Germany, and even greater action is likely to follow. Eric knew that he was helpless because the navy had not yet formed a combat force.
