In the distance, church bells are ringing, flocks of pigeons are fluttering over Berlin, and in the Hansafelt Palace, where regular presidential meetings are taking place in a lively atmosphere, Chancellor Stresemann elaborates on the development of the country some time ago, citing many highly credible figures.

Finance Minister Yarma also briefed the meeting on the government's disposable foreign exchange earnings and expenditures on some key national projects.

President Eric is basically satisfied with the achievements of the country, and put forward higher requirements for the next step to comprehensively consolidate and develop the results, calling on all departments to organize economic think tank teams, in the new development layout can not be exaggerated, can not be talked about on paper, encourage enterprises to boldly go abroad, increase key investment in many foreign energy industries, and at the same time for those who have strength, scientific and technological content of enterprises should also be invited in, foreign energy investment and high-tech enterprises to attract investment, two-way development, go hand in hand.

At the same time, President Eric proposed that all the overseas Chinese of the German Confederation scattered all over the world should be mobilized, set up overseas Chinese affairs departments, and regularly organize meetings with overseas Chinese and their relatives to jointly plan the great development of Germany, so that the great changes in Germany can stimulate the patriotic enthusiasm of all German people, not only to let Germans at home and abroad see the hope of Germany, but also to let them enjoy the dividends of the country from Germany's development.

President Eric finally reversed the low-key development of the past and began to make all-round efforts, and a great pattern of mobilizing the common development of Germans throughout the country and the world is also rapidly taking shape.

At the meeting, Eric exclaimed: "My gentlemen, you should be glad that you live in such a great time! You are not only the creators and changers of this era, but also the enjoyers, and we must tell those invincible powers with facts that the Federal Republic of Germany is a great country, and the German nation is the best nation in the world! Gentlemen, do what you want, and if you think it is right, then have no worries! Me, Eric? Adrian Forever supports you! ”

After the meeting, Eric deliberately left the Minister of Defense and the Commander of the Navy behind and listened carefully to their progress on the finalization of the design of the surface ship and the preparations of the shipyard.

Eric said very firmly: "The German navy cannot be empty, what I want is strength, it is a strong army at sea that can pull out and destroy the opponent with real guns, and the weapon must increase the range and power, the more magical the better, so that the enemy will be terrified and collapsed at the first touch!" ”

Franz? Hipper responded: "Your Excellency the President, please be assured that funding for the development of surface ships of the Navy has been funded, the shipyards in the ports of Wilhelm and Kiel are ready, and most of the materials and equipment are being actively organized." ”

President Eric said with great anticipation: "You have worked hard, but our coastal defense is still an empty shelf, we must hurry up to finalize the design, we can no longer drag the mud and water, we can no longer look forward to the future, we should be in charge, we don't have to report everything, I want the result, understand, my gentlemen?" The two companies, Fokker and Juncker, jointly developed a private aircraft that successfully used the Friedrich ? Feng? Mr. Maura's newly developed Super Dura Aluminum, which uses a high-horsepower engine jointly developed by Porsche and BMW, has greatly shortened the development time, and this experience is worth learning from. Now that the first all-aluminum 4-engine monoplane has rolled off the assembly line, this is a very celebratory event, and I am going to visit Solingen, so the navy is left to you. ”

Defense Minister Brauchitsch took out a stack of drawings from his briefcase and put them on Eric's desk and said: "Your Excellency the President, this is the latest adaptation of the main and auxiliary weapons and equipment systems of various types of warships. ”

Eric looked at them one by one and felt that many of the components were very creative, especially the aiming system and the horizontal stabilization system had been greatly improved, so he said happily: "You see, this is the crystallization of wisdom, of course, there is also the credit of the Ministry of State Security." Judging from this problem, we can't just beat the weapons of foreign armies to death with a stick, at the very least, some of their ideas are also worthy of our reference. The sea is stormy, and the horizontal stabilization device must be further studied and matured, and it must not be allowed to delay the progress of the entire project. ”

Franz? Hipper hopes that the president will continue to care about the equipment of the navy: "Your Excellency, Solingen is very close to Wilhelmshaven, you can take the time to visit the harbor, by the way, guide the team of experts, at present, the hull has been formed, the bridge and part of the barracks can be completed with only a slight improvement, then the finalization time will be advanced, your presence will give great encouragement to the expert team, you see...... May I? ”

Eric thought for a moment and said, "It's not a big problem, I'll go to the port when I have time." After the first all-aluminum structure 4-engine monoplane rolled off the assembly line, it has passed many test flights, and the overall performance has achieved the purpose of the pre-design, and my visit this time is actually a request from these two companies, in addition, they also want to achieve mass production as quickly as possible, and use it to develop the country's air transport industry, which is of great significance, so I can only go to Solingen first, and then to Wilhelmshaven. ”

Brauchitsch was very puzzled: "Your Excellency, I don't know something, the country is building national defense, why don't we develop fighters first and produce transport planes first?" ”

Eric smiled and said, "Walter? Feng? Brauchitsch is a very good question! Do you remember the terms proposed to us by the United States, Britain, France, and other countries during the Berlin peace talks? One of them is that we are not allowed to have advanced fighters, and now we have something to say, we have not violated this article, Fokker produces civilian transport aircraft, right? However, we were ready to make the transition, and we could mass-produce the most advanced fighter jets of the Luftwaffe in a very short period of time. ”

Brauchitsch knew that Mr. President was very organized, so he said: "No wonder it took so long to develop this aircraft." Mr. President hid us all. ”

Eric put down the picture and said: "I don't plan to hide it from you, but I haven't seen the promising research and development project yet, and I don't want you to suffer any psychological blow of failure, but fortunately, this aircraft is very versatile, and it will also fill the gap of the new reconnaissance aircraft of the German Federal Air Force." That's the biggest key! Eric said as he opened the drawer, took out a stack of new all-aluminum 4-engine monoplane materials, and said: "These are the parameters of the plane, you guys take a good look, maybe you will be surprised"

Brauchitsch opens the cover, and each page is the performance of the aircraft; (Please see author's message)

Eric smiled and said: "This will be an important weapon for our strategic projection, and other countries do not have such research and development capabilities at present." ”

Franz standing aside? Feng? Hipper seemed to be inspired: "Your Excellency, may we consider the issue of planes on ships?" You see, Britain is doing one thing right now. ”

Rick said: "Will consider Franz? Feng? General Hipper, but not now! At present, Germany basically has no overseas colonies, so we do not have to be as high-profile as the British, and the most important thing for us now is to have the ability to attack and defend against the coastal waters. Just have the ability to build large surface ships, and I'm talking about having the ability first, not building it right away. When we need it, we can produce it in batches and quickly arm it in a very short time. Energy is strength, you know? ”

While he was speaking, Finance Minister Yarma knocked on the door outside: "Your Excellency the President, may I come in?" ”

Eric guessed that there must be something new to come in: "Come in and respect Armar, please?" Minister Schacht, I hope you will bring us happy good news again. ”

Arma? Minister Schacht's face was very ugly, and he said angrily: "Your Excellency, Honorable President, maybe I have brought you terrible bad news now. ”

Eric's expression did not change, because since the establishment of the German Confederation, there has been good news accompanied by bad news, and he has heard a lot of good news and bad news, so he is not surprised. He asked Arma to sit down and speak slowly.

The six-nation talks at 10 Downing Street on August 6 were not ideal. Clemenceau has always taken a tough stance on the Lorraine issue, and although the United States and Britain have repeatedly made concessions, they have had little effect, and Likhnovsky, the chief of staff of the presidential administration, has been at a standoff with him, and it seems that there is no room for maneuver.

At present, the two industrial regions of Dresden and the Ruhr rely on Lorraine for coal, and if the Lorraine incident continues, it is very likely that the United States and Britain will be involved, and if this is the case, Britain and the United States will first ask Germany to suspend mining. The key problem is that, if the Americans are heeded, the Dresden and Ruhr industrial processing plants will have to shut down, and if the Americans do not obey them, Germany's oil imports from the United States will be in serious trouble.

The purpose of keeping Lorraine was to mine coal and iron ore, and if the United States and Britain intervened at the same time, Germany would not have insisted on mining, which brought great risks. Now, even if the British and Americans were persuaded to stop exploitation, it would be even worse if the Americans still stuck the Germans by the neck with oil supplies.

Eric finished listening to Arma? Minister Schacht's statement was very indignant: "Shameless! This is an attempt to push the German Confederation to its death! ”

Haven't seen Eric since the new government was established? President Adrian was so angry, Brauchitsch and Navy Commander Franz? Feng? Hipper hurriedly offered to retire.

Eric told them to stay: "It's good for you to listen! After listening to the good advice of yours, the French are so rude, it's time to give them some color! ”

Hearing this, several ministers were taken aback, they knew that the president's temper had always been from what he said to what he did, could it be that he was going to use force against France?
