When France and Italy declared a state of war readiness for Germany, additional orders for military products first put the laborers of the military industrial complex into a laborious and super-intensive working environment, and many fell to their jobs, and the flames of workers' anger finally burned at the limit of poverty and disease.

The marchers unfurled banners and chanted slogans demanding that Alexander Millerand's government put pressure on companies to reduce labor intensity, improve working conditions, restore working hours and labor conditions, and provide farmers with land to cultivate...... Eric's "National Self-Reliance" did not ignite the uprising, but it undoubtedly intensified the wave of strikes, which gradually heated up and slowly spiraled out of control, instigated by the German "hidden front", and finally turned into bloodshed on April 10.

Laborers armed with wrenches, iron rods, and gong knives and landless peasants fought with heavily armed police. In the face of the huge and angry ranks of workers and peasants, the police opened fire on the crowd of marchers, and the chaotic gunfire resounded in the streets and alleys, and many people were shot and fell in pools of blood, but violence did not stop the march of the procession, and the workers and peasants fought with the police while fearlessly rushing towards the Reichstag, which was getting closer and closer at 12 o'clock in the evening. Exhausted people began to block roads, damage public facilities, and some even set gasoline bottles on fire and threw them at the police ranks. In the wee hours of the morning, more and more police arrived from other places, and there were another clash of hands in the street near the Capitol, gunfire again, and by daybreak, many police and marchers had been injured, and more than 100 workers and peasants had been arrested.

In the face of the riots and bloodshed in the country, Millerand had nothing to do, and he was really diligent in his administration and unable to make contributions. Now, he can't afford to offend these two people, but the cabinet that usually chirps and wows is now pretending to be deaf and dumb, and no one dares to stand up and speak, even Prime Minister Puankaray is protecting himself, and he really doesn't know who else will stand up and find a good way for him to deal with the turmoil.

The situation, which was already seriously out of control, made Millerand start to do whatever it takes, and if the police were not enough, then the army should be used, even if all the French people were captured, to ensure this temporary peace, and now, he needed to be quiet too much, otherwise his head would be about to crack.

"It's a bunch of crazy people! Damn madman! Milleran waved his fists and shouted hysterically, at this time, he really wanted to fight to the death and turn the tide, but what did he fight, army? He still had to think about it, but fortunately, Millerand hadn't completely lost his mind.

For Millerand, it is not only the turmoil that fights, but also his own political future, but also the fate of the country, even if he loses the possibility of re-election, Prime Minister Puancar will be unable to escape the blame.

The unrest continued to rage, and what began as demonstrations turned into riots, and Millerand's weak sanity was finally overwhelmed.

When the French army was inexplicably recalled, they were immediately given the task of suppressing the riot march, but most of the army mutinied directly, defected to the battle, and led the rioters to besiege the local government offices. Overnight, the nature of events changed radically.

At the unanimous demand of the whole country, Millerand even omitted his resignation speech and work handover, and was expelled from the Elysée Palace by the majority of soldiers and civilians in a sigh. Soon after, Petain, the soul of the army, was elected interim transitional president and acted as president.

The sudden temporary appointment stunned Petain, and as he hurried to Paris, many people were in the middle of the road to welcome him. Petain got out of the carriage and looked up to see the scrawny, sallow-faced labourers casting him with longing glances, and shivered all over. I only heard that the people's lives were very difficult, but I never thought that it would be like this, no wonder some school-age young people risked losing their lives on the front line to sign up for the army, it turned out that they also carried guns to fight in order to have a full stomach. Before coming to Paris, he had been working on his draft, preparing a lot of flowery words, ready to play them as soon as he got out of the car, but he was silent, for he could not utter a word now. Petain straightened his clothes, and while his tears were not yet flowing, he turned and got into the car and went straight to the Élysée Palace.

When Prime Minister Puancar came to greet him with his cabinet, Petain was not pretending to be polite, and the first thing he said was to ask him to strictly investigate the members of the cabinet, catch the perpetrators of the incident, and give an account to the people. However, the chaotic situation could no longer tolerate Puancarre's slow investigation, let alone give an explanation to the people, and Petain, who felt the great pressure, could only exercise the power of the presidency and first remove Prime Minister Puancar from all positions.

On April 13, former Governor Paul Dume of the French Indochina Federation entered the list of candidates for prime minister, and after a fierce competition, he finally won by a landslide. Paul Dumé was a politically sensitive man, who, unlike others, had never made anti-German rhetoric, on the contrary, he believed that France should learn from Germany, reduce friction and allow the people to recuperate. However, compared to other candidates, he has very little domestic political experience. However, it is such an exiled official with almost no political experience in China who has become the best candidate for prime minister, which shows how unpopular the former French government was.

Paul Dume, who had just been sworn in, knew through careful study that in order to resolve the domestic contradictions, it was necessary to first stop the hostility between Germany and France, and to try to win some advantages in the Lorraine and Saarland regions, so as to calm the tensions in the country.

As a former colonial governor, Paul Dume naturally did not lack flexible diplomatic experience, and after communication with the French ambassador in Berlin, Dume finally received an invitation from German Chancellor Stresemann, and after completing a state visit at the level of chancellor, he was cordially received by the President of the Federal Republic of Germany, Eric Adrian.

"Hello, Dear Mr. President!" Dumei's very gentlemanly demeanor surprised Eric, and the imaginary hatred was gone.

"Hello Mr. Prime Minister! First of all, I should solemnly congratulate you on your election! I hope that under your leadership, Germany and France will be able to achieve peaceful coexistence in an environment of equality, mutual benefit and cooperation, and jointly create a new situation in the interests of the two peoples. Eric shook hands with Dume's outstretched hands and said.

"Yes, Mr. President, I have had an in-depth discussion with His Excellency Prime Minister Stresemann this morning about the future of mutually beneficial cooperation between our two countries, and I would like to hear more about Mr. President." Du Mei visited Germany with a serious attitude to solve problems, so his words were very sincere.

Next, Eric and Du Mei had extensive and in-depth exchanges, involving many issues of humanities, history, education, politics, economics, and of course, military affairs. Eric didn't know that the new French prime minister was called Dume, but he knew that the governor of a colony, although he was also the head of a party, must have extraordinary skills for such a person who lacked domestic political training to return to China and be elected prime minister.
