The plane shook so badly that it seemed to be in danger of being torn apart by bad weather at any moment.

The entourage brought by Helis from Denmark also began to be a little unsettled, and they were all pale and motionless. Eric, on the other hand, was calm, checking the seatbelts of the sisters Hila and Madina before sitting upright.

About two minutes later, the special plane finally passed through the sky over the thunderstorm area, the sunlight slipped into the cabin, and the plane quickly stabilized.

Halis's entourage began to talk and laugh again, and Eric finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Under the cuisine of Stresemann, the funeral ceremony of August II took place at the old castle of Hannover, and the mourning activities of the high-ranking officials and envoys of the Federal Republic of Germany were carried out in an orderly manner to the sound of mourning music. During this time, Eric, on behalf of the family, delivered a speech of thanks to all the guests for more than ten minutes.

Due to the constraints of work, the day after the burial of August II's body, Eric hurried back to Berlin, accompanied by Madina and other entourage.

Helis and her mother Sylna remain in Hanover. This trip to Germany, whose name is mourning, is actually a state visit to Germany at the invitation of Eric. After his maternal great-grandfather's burial, he will begin a five-day state visit to Germany, accompanied by his mother, starting with Hannover before moving to Berlin to discuss bilateral cooperation with German President Erik Adrian and Chancellor Hans Luther.

After returning to Berlin, Eric, who had readjusted his mentality, began to implement Sylna's so-called policy of softness, and the senior cabinet officials who had not been very cooperative with him for a time did not receive any retaliation, but took measures such as interviews and heart-to-heart exchanges to try to gain the support of this part of the people.

Madina was overjoyed to know that her sister was about to return to the Hansha Palace. Although we had met in Hannover, I always felt that there was still a lot to be said. Because of a misunderstanding of Anata, Madina can only talk to Eric at the presidential palace to relieve her boredom.

After returning to Berlin after the funeral, Madina immediately called Dresden to ask for a few days off to accompany her sister and nephew, who was already the king of a country.

Putting down the phone, Madina suddenly remembered the gossip about Eric and Ananta outside, and thought it was time to ring the alarm bell for her brother-in-law, so she jumped into Eric's office.

After returning to the Hanseatic Palace, Eric did not know that Madina had quietly entered his office, and when Madina suddenly flashed in front of him, he was really startled.

"Oh God, you're a cat, why didn't you make any noise when you entered the door?" Eric stopped what he was doing, looked at his sister-in-law and said.

"If you don't have a ghost in your heart, you don't have to be afraid, unless you do something bad behind your sister's back. Oh! Now it's time for you to be more restrained. Madina gave Eric a clueless count, leaving Eric confused.

In recent months, Madina has always insinuated against Eric and Anata, and said some inexplicable cool things, leaving Eric and the second monk scratching her head.

"Don't pretend brother-in-law, you don't need to disguise yourself so tightly, the fox's tail will always be exposed. But that's fine, at least Sheena won't be harmed. Do what you want. After a burst of cannons, Madina turned and left the president's office.

Eric shook his head and smiled, just thinking that his sister-in-law was joking.

During dinner, Madina suddenly mentioned something about recent events in India, and Eric was immediately intrigued. However, because Madina is always rambling when she speaks, he doesn't seem to figure out what the situation is.

After a night of silence, Eric, who was accustomed to waking up early, kept reminiscing about what Madina had said last night, but he could not connect them into a coherent meaning. I thought about it for a long time, but I still couldn't understand it. Before breakfast was finished, Eric hurried to the Hanseatic Palace One Drawing Room.

Everyone in the Federal Republic of Germany knew that the head of the Federal Intelligence Service, Komar von Ramsden, had an irregular schedule. In fact, it is not that he does not follow his principles, but because of the nature of his work.

At this time, Ramsden was already quietly waiting for the arrival of the president in Hall 1.

Almost all of the senior officials who were close to Eric could discern Eric's heavy footsteps. Ramsden was about to take a sip of the hot tea brought by the staff when Eric's familiar footsteps came from the long hallway.

"Please be seated, Your Excellency the Director. I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Eric strode into the spacious parlor and sat down on the throne.

Rams stepped forward and stood in front of Eric, ready to report back.

"Okay, my Excellency Director, please take a seat, you are all old people in the presidential palace, you can do whatever you want." Eric said very kindly.

"I received a call from you last night, and I sorted out all the information overnight. If you have any other questions, I'll be able to answer them for you right now. Ramsden said very seriously.

"You haven't slept all night?" Eric asked, surprised.

Ramsden smiled and did not answer.

"Thank you Colmar, I see this, the information is put first, I can take the time to take a closer look, you can talk about the specific situation over there in detail first."

Ramsden sat down on a couch not far from Eric, and then gave a detailed account of what had happened in India in recent times. Eric listened very carefully and had a rough outline of what Madina was talking about. Gandhi's key figures were of great interest to Eric.

Gandhi, a staunch British follower and admirer turned into a deeply uncooperative one, received a general and enthusiastic response from all walks of life in India. For a time, he became the leader of the independence movement supported by both Pakistan and India, and was honored as the father of the nation.

It all started with the First World War. After the outbreak of the war, India, which participated in the war on behalf of the British Empire, in order to meet the needs of the suzerain's victory, countless young and middle-aged people gave up their families and careers, charged into battle on the European continent, and continued to shed blood and sacrifice.

For a time, the whole country in India was indignant, and the voices for independence and the progressive movement rose one after another. Seeing that things were going to be big, the British hastily promulgated the so-called "Rolat Law" in order to ideologically rule the multi-ethnic South Asian continent.

In 1919, the "Lorat Act" of the British colonial authorities aimed at suppressing the national liberation movement in India was drafted by a committee led by Lorrat, with minor revisions, and then promulgated on January 19, 1919.

The promulgation of this bill completely deprived the Indian people of their political freedom, and the whole country was in an uproar, and the opposition was extremely high.

In the province of Punjab, located in Pakistan, where the anti-imperialist struggle was most intense at that time, in order to prevent the further penetration of progressive ideas into Punjab, to stop the radicals from propagating the truth and expanding the anti-imperialist movement, Gandhi arrived in this area and brutally suppressed the local anti-imperialist movement by almost terrifying means.

Shortly after the promulgation of the "Rolat Law", the radical movement in India was brutally suppressed by the British army several times in succession, causing a large number of casualties.

After this, Gandhi was not only not intimidated by the ferocity of the British, but became more and more persistent. As the recognized leader of the Congress Party, Gandhi established a party platform of non-violent non-cooperation in September 1920, making non-violent non-cooperation the guiding ideology of the Congress Party.

At the same time, the struggle for Indian autonomy has also become the goal of the Congress Party's practical struggle, and the Congress Party, which mainly relies on constitutional means to carry out its activities, has thus evolved from a form of struggle dominated by a small number of upper-class elements to a situation of direct struggle with a broad mass base and relying on the spontaneous nature of the masses. Therefore, the Congress Party is also a modern bourgeois party engaged in an all-out anti-imperialist struggle.

After Gandhi's leadership position in the Congress Party was established, regardless of whether Gandhi held office in the Congress Party or not, he was always the spiritual leader and immortal "soul" of the Congress Party, and he influenced the direction of the development of the Indian national liberation movement.

In March 1930, Gandhi led 78 volunteers to embark on the "Long March of Salt", which opened the prelude to the second non-violent non-cooperation movement and dealt a heavy blow to the British imperial colonialists. During the campaign, Gandhi negotiated with the British Governor-General in India and courageously attended the so-called round table.

However, all the promises of the British were a piece of waste paper, but instead caused the mass movement to undeservedly slacken, and a vigorous non-violent non-cooperation movement was finally brutally suppressed by the British army.

As a result of the repeated failures of the movement, Gandhi also became at odds with the rest of the party's leadership, each of whom began to seek a new way out. Among them, many people have their eyes on Germany. This country, which is not far from them and is very much in line with their political aspirations, has saved Turkey from precarious situations and raised the profile of President Kemer. They generally believe that Germany may become a strong supporter of India's sovereign independence.

Gandhi did not think so, and with his knowledge of Germany in England, he felt that the English had been driven out, but the Germans had been ushered in, and that the German leaders were notoriously arbitrary, and that if they did not agree, the situation would only make the situation worse, or even doomed, so he voted against it resolutely.

Ramsden gave a verbal debriefing of everything in one go, and Eric finally understood all the reasons for Madina's muttering.

"Your Excellency, I would like to hear your thoughts on the majority of the pro-German members of the Indian National Congress Party. Don't be hesitant and speak up. Eric lit a cigar and said unhurriedly.

"I think it's almost certain that the Congress party is pro-German is a good thing. However, Spain has held back a lot of our energy, and it would be too cost-effective to help India, which is far away in South Asia, at the expense of seeking the near and the far ahead, putting aside the immediate benefits...... "Ramsden has detailed the budget and is very fluent in answering questions.

"What kind of man do you think Gandhi was?" Eric then asked.

"This man's leadership is beyond doubt, however, his ideas are too radical and he is a fierce horse that is difficult to tame." Ramsden's assessment of Gandhi was almost to the point.

"What would happen if we helped the Congress party in India?" Eric was very impressed with Ramsden's insight and kept asking questions.

In that case, there would be three possibilities, first, to completely offend Britain and pick up the mess that the British can't figure out. Second, it was unable to reconcile with Gandhi and his followers, and to be hostile to radical forces of all walks of life in India. Thirdly, Germany will pick up a rotten sesame seed and throw away the shiny watermelon. Ramsden replied earnestly.

Eric agrees with Ramsden's analysis, and he has no intention of sinking into the quagmire of India from last night to now. However, Eric did not intend to do nothing, and he wanted to add some trouble to the British because of their long-standing virtue.

"You think we should do nothing?" Eric took a deep breath of his cigar.

"Yes, we should not get involved in their affairs, otherwise it will lead all the troubles to us, and the gains will outweigh the losses." Ramsden replied almost without thinking.

"I don't think Germany can do nothing, at least sell some weapons, Your Excellency, the old weapons that the Wehrmacht has just replaced should find their real new owners, do you say?" Mr. Eric's slightly treacherous tone reminded Mr. Ramsden of the president's foresight.

"It's a great idea! Mr. President, I think the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should be tackling this problem. Ramsden was very much in favor of Eric's idea.

"Okay, you can further grasp the movements of the Indian side, report back in time, and the negotiation will be completed by Konstantin and them." Eric smiled lightly and said to himself, "It's just too cheap for the Jose government in Spain and the overbearing Americans." ”

Ramsden, of course, understood why Eric said this, and guessed Eric's next move, but he didn't say anything, got up to take his leave, and left the presidential palace.

It will make the situation in India even more chaotic, and it will be chaotic and chaotic. Not only India, but also Spain's civil war for a long time, this is the best way for Eric to contain Britain, the United States, and France.

A little hungry, Eric remembered that he hadn't eaten breakfast yet, and rang the electric bell on his desk.

Ananta was over quickly.

"Anata, can you get me something to eat? I didn't eat breakfast. Eric said to Anata with a smile.

"Oh, it's not difficult, Mr. President, I'll go to the Logistics Department right now and get you something to eat. However, I have to remind you that it is better to have a good breakfast before going to work. Ananta said deliberately angrily.

Just then, the office door was pushed open, and Madina looked at Eric and Ananta with angry eyes.

"Hello Miss Madina, it's a pleasure to meet you." Ananta was the first to say hello.

"Nope! No, no! You won't be happy because I disturbed your tryst. Madina is very blunt about Eric's personal relationship with Anata.

"Oh my God, what a beautiful misunderstanding. Still, I admired Miss Madina's amazing imagination. It dawned on Ananta that it was no wonder that for months, the proud young lady had deliberately avoided herself.

"Is this a misunderstanding? I'm afraid that even Director Annata himself would not believe these pale justifications. It just so happens that everyone is here today, and I want to put this matter to an end before Syla returns to the Hanseatic Palace, otherwise everyone will not look good. "Madina wasn't going to show Ananta mercy.

"As assistant and head of the propaganda department at the Hanseatic Palace, I do have many opportunities to get close to the president, but I am innocent, honorable Miss Madina, you can not believe me, but you should believe our president." Anatta felt very aggrieved.

"It seems that the beautiful director Annata's ability to lie is not weaker than her own ability to work. I'm curious, why do you dare to do it but don't dare to admit it? Madina didn't want Anata to admit that she had an affair with the president, and the constant questioning was only further confirmation.

"Okay, you all don't quarrel and listen to me." Eric already knew that the estrangement between the two of them was caused by himself, and quickly stood up to clarify the facts: "This is a misunderstanding!" A real misunderstanding! God testifies that Ananta just did what she was supposed to do. ”

"Is this a misunderstanding? Are the rumors out there fabricated out of thin air? I've had enough! Madina said excitedly.

"I see, why didn't you tell us earlier?" Eric asked her in surprise at the same time as Anatas.

"I didn't want to talk about it, because my sister is coming back soon, and I don't want her to see you 'close and close', and I don't want her to hear any rumors about you." Madina finally pulled out the words that had been hidden in her heart for a long time.

"It's true that people are terrible, and I think that these must be those who oppose me out of nothing, and in this case, we must not fall for their tricks and make trouble ourselves." Eric said to Madina very calmly.

"Yes, Miss Madina, this is a red flag, and those people have ulterior motives for saying this. This is not only a loss of my personal reputation, but more importantly a threat to the political life of Mr. President, who will take advantage of the opportunity to make a big fuss if we have civil strife of our own, and in this case, Germany will be in danger. Anatta said.

"Anatta is right, we can't get into the wrong game. As a joint investigator, you should learn to analyze problems calmly and not listen to biased beliefs. This is an important period of arms expansion, and discrediting me is only a precursor to their attack on me, and there may be even more despicable acts to come. Eric said as he pulled Madina to his side and sat down.

At this moment, Madina also seemed to understand the meaning and was no longer vexatious.

Ananta took Madina's hand, and the two resumed their old friendship, but Eric's heart was much heavier, and he found that the future expansion of the army would be more difficult.
