In the federal president's office, Eric gets into an awkward position with Stresemann and Hans Luther over a blueprint for a new aircraft carrier at the Blomforth shipyard, and the problem becomes apparent after everyone talks about their true thoughts. Ananta unfolded the minutes and found that all three men disagreed.

"The German Confederation, though predominantly continental, is not without seas, and we have large overseas colonies, and without a strong navy, these interests will be handed over! If you open the map of the world and take a look, from the Mediterranean Sea or the North Sea to the south, from the sea to the east, do we have our own supply bases along the way? If not, our cruisers and destroyers will not be able to go to those places even if they are filled with fuel and fresh water, and they will never be able to go! Eric was a little furious.

It was almost noon, and the more Eric spoke, the more excited he became, Hans Luther kept his head down, not daring to reply directly, and although Stresemann did not want to build such a large warship, he knew that the president's idea was indeed reasonable, and the key was that the country's finances were tight, and he could not scrape together so much money for a while, so he had nothing to say.

Eric saw that the two of them never spoke, and did not continue. A small high-level meeting that would have been full of hope for the development of the Navy had an unexpected outcome for Eric.

"It's time for dinner, my food here is not good, so let's go home and eat." Eric said lightly.

Leaving the Hansa Felth Palace, Hans Luther hurried to his car, when Stresemann invited him to ride with him.

As the Mercedes Benz entered the street, Stresemann suddenly asked, "Your Excellency, what do you think of Mr. President?" Why did he insist on building his own navy? ”

Hans Luther nodded, then shook his head again. Stresemann already felt that even if Hans Luther knew everything, he would not say it casually, and now in Germany, the relationship between the military and the government is very delicate, and if you are not careful, you may be doomed, and many people would rather do more things than talk more.

"I think Eric Adrian is a good leader, I've never doubted that." Hans Luther replied.

"Brother Hans, how long have we known each other?" Stresemann asked, arching his round-rimmed glasses with his big nose.

"It's been eight or nine years, and I haven't seriously calculated how long it has been, and His Excellency the Prime Minister suddenly asked about this, it should have a deep meaning!" Hans Luther can't remember how long they had known each other, but he was introduced by Stresemann.

"Yes, it's been more than nine years, and you were still a small clerk at the beginning, but you were full of enthusiasm for your work, so I took a fancy to you." Strezemann said with emotion.

Of course, Hans Luther will not forget Stresemann's promotion, at the beginning, his family was poor, he just wanted to get ahead, so he worked hard, although it was much harder than others, but finally had a bright day, now he no longer needs to fight for his status, but it is still necessary to fight for rights.

"I'm older than you, and the next days in politics are countless, but you are still very young, and the future is limitless, just rush this, I hope you can continue to polish yourself in the future work, cultivate yourself, and slowly realize your own wishes, instead of ruining your good future for the sake of a short time." Stresemann said as he looked Hans Luther into the eye.

"Thank you for reminding Your Excellency the Chancellor that I will dedicate my limited life selflessly to the great cause of Germany." Hans Luther knew that Stresemann was testing himself. In fact, Hans Luther was also thinking about whether he was on the side of President Eric Adrian or chose another position on national defense and political views.

His answer was boring to Stresemann, which showed that Hans Luther didn't fully trust himself at all, but you can't say that people are wrong. The young minister had learned to protect himself, and Stresemann felt terrible about the country's ruling class.

Cars drive through the streets of Berlin, but not very fast.

"Mr. President may invite you to go again tomorrow, it seems that you can't fool around, you have to figure out how to answer him." Stresemann's hands were crossed together, and with a sudden thrust, several knuckles clicked.

Hans Luther also thought of this layer, but he only nodded and did not speak.

As the sky grew dark, the lights of the Hansa Felter Palace were all turned on, and the inside and outside were as bright as day. Eric, who was about to leave the office, met Max, who was in a panic and trotted over. Knowing what to mean, Eric stood there waiting for Max to speak.

At this time, the National Guard around the presidential palace was quietly changing guards, and everything was as usual, very peaceful and peaceful. Max blocked Eric, saying something important to say, and then pulled him towards the relatively quiet back garden.

Eric was dragged around in a daze by Max, the chief counsellor, and acted in a very secretive manner, which made him feel very ridiculous.

"The Commander of the Air Force, General Toth, may be plotting an armed uprising against the federal government and His Excellency the President." Max said breathlessly.

"Is the message accurate?" Eric asked, frowning.

At this point, Eric's heart raced, and an unusually complex emotion swept through his body. Toth's rebellion had long been expected by him, but he didn't expect this kind of thing to come so quickly, so fast that he was helpless.

When I first launched an attack on the German Empire, I had never been so nervous as I was now, and I couldn't tell why.

"The information is very accurate, the CIA's message, the credibility is very high, but it has not been confirmed with the military intelligence yet. Colmar felt that this matter was not trivial, and the Military Intelligence Bureau should have known about it, perhaps because of layers of verification, it was not reported in time. Max was equally nervous, and when the C.I.A. delivered the information to the general counsel's office, Max was stunned.

Three years after the end of the civil war, the air force remained in the hands of the opposition, and Eric made several decisions to change generals, but due to various obstacles, it was not realized. There was no way to promote his own people, but it didn't hinder the development of the CIA members, and Eric and Max had to put their eyes and ears around Air Force Commander Toth.

The current situation is a very serious test for Eric and the ruling party, and if it is not handled correctly, the Federalist Party will lose its reputation, not only the entire governing environment, but also a large amount of political capital, and the majority of the people.
