Wilhelmshaven, an important outlet to the sea in northern Germany, was also the starting point for the German Navy to go to the ocean through the North Sea. Ever since Eric made up his mind to build a powerful Federation navy, it's been a place that's been lit up day and night, with electric sparks everywhere.

Most of the warships ordered by Ottoman Turkey have already entered the sun-loading stage, and if nothing else, the arrogant President Kemmel may be able to commit a decent heavy fleet in the Mediterranean or the Black Sea region by the end of the year. Former Foreign Minister Müller made the momentous announcement in Istanbul in June and reached a new consensus on deepening cooperation between Germany and Turkey in the field of defense.

The move of the German-Turkish alliance not only caused a great shock in the Balkans, but also different voices appeared on the eastern and western fronts of the European continent, the first to attack the Red Soviet Union in the east, which expressed strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition to Turkey's military deployment in the Black Sea, and then France also put forward a different view on this.

Both Turkey and the Soviet Union belong to the Black Sea littoral states, and the Soviet side believes that President Kemer's powerful fleet will surely upset the so-called balance of force that the Soviet Union has managed to maintain in the region.

France had just reconciled with Germany, and it was much milder than the Soviet Union. Although the opposition may not seem so strong, it does not mean that it will willingly sit back and watch the endless expansion of German maritime power in the Mediterranean. Therefore, the French Foreign Ministry finally expressed its concern at a regular press conference.

France and Germany are in the honeymoon period, and neither side is willing to tear their faces, and this "seven inch" has long been grasped by Eric, so as long as the British do not make irresponsible remarks, Germany's shipbuilding plan will not encounter too many difficulties.

As a result, Eric often telegraphed Hippers and Reinhardt Schell to hurry up and strive for the early delivery of the Turkish order, and at the same time let the country's warships be commissioned within the specified time, because whether Brauchitsch's "Barbarossa Plan" can be successfully implemented is inextricably linked to the speed of construction of the navy and air force.

Although the German series of measures did not have much direct impact on Britain, Lloyd George did not want to hang them on the ground, and this was a good opportunity to narrow the German and French sides.

Regrettably, the German ambassador in London, Konstantin von Niuwright, seemed to have had no intention of having much contact with the Commonwealth government, and spent the rest of his time busy interacting extensively with the business leaders of the British Isles, except for courtesy of some insignificant royal festivals, and then left England in a whirlwind, never to return.

At the regular parliamentary debate, Prime Minister Lloyd George angrily criticized the German ambassador Konstantin von Niu Wright as an uncontrollable loach, but he did not go too deep into the accusation, because many members of the royal family and himself had received a lot of benefits from Konstantin, and the so-called criticism was just a formality, a pretense, and a role to avoid suspicion for himself.

However, Lloyd George's speech was strongly criticized by MPs, who said that he was unabashed, and others said that he had spent too long in the prime minister's office and that there was no new way to govern the country.

All this made Lloyd George disgraced, and he had to put aside his plans to carry out economic extermination of Germany and France, so as to slowly repair the wounds caused by the criticism of the Reichstag.

It has to be said that Constantine is indeed very smart, Germany continued to step on and break the red line of the "Berlin Peace Treaty" after World War I, but Britain, France and the United States have never succeeded in obstructing and making a strong counterattack, but continue to cater to many of Eric's major policies.

A breakthrough at sea is Eric's current number one strategy, and the current ports of William and Kiel are like large factories, except for a small number of naval representatives, all of them are front-line industrial workers working overtime.

On the wharf of Wilhelmshaven, the Turkish military representatives in Germany all looked particularly generous and generous, and they all looked like local tyrants. By contrast, the technicians and industrial workers in Germany are much shabby.

According to the terms of the contract between Eric and President Kemer, Turkey sent a large team of military representatives to several large shipyards such as Wilhelm and Kiel to supervise and accept the ships produced by the German side, but these representatives had almost nothing to do except eat, drink and have fun all day.

What is completely different from the previous ones is that these family members no longer stand on the dock with the smell of the sea every day, waiting for their relatives to return from a long voyage, but look forward to those Turkish military representatives coming over every day to spend a lot of money.

Admiral Reinhardt Schell also occasionally frequented the Military Service Club at Navy Pier, where he could not only taste the delicious seafood, but also communicate ideas and bonds with his old subordinates. These veterans were all appointed one after another after Eric's successful reform, and as a result, Field Marshal Franz von Hipper's efficiency was much improved, and in addition to regularly inspecting the infrastructure of the port terminals, he was able to occasionally find time to supervise and supervise the naval military school run by Admiral Tirpitz and Admiral Henning von Holdendorff.

For the time being, the Federal Republic of Germany Naval Military School is only a temporary location, because the initial time is relatively tight, and the students sent by Turkey are about to be stationed, so it is no longer practical to build a new naval school. Hippel was quite casual, and with Tirpitz under the tutelage of Heinning von Holdendorff, the school was already open in a decent manner, and he felt very content.

Although Marshal Hipper's business skills were not very strong, his execution and affinity were far from being comparable to ordinary people, and every time he came to the port from Berlin, he would find an excuse to go to Eric and get a few small items, including tea and coffee, and give them to his subordinates, so that they could always feel that the president was with them.

Tirpitz is arguably the most experienced and innovative veteran of the Imperial Era, always able to solve seemingly complex problems quickly and accurately. When the classes were insufficient, he organized rotation training and let some of the trainees go to the sea or scrapped ships to practice, so as to improve the students' practical operation ability, but also did not neglect the accumulation of theoretical knowledge. Here's why Eric had to get him back on the mountain. Therefore, it was also intended that Hipper would bring him and Henin some good black tea cakes from time to time.

This year's recruitment of naval cadets is a little more difficult than in previous years, because during the development period dominated by the country's economic construction, many young people mostly chose trade and circulation, or entered factories to work and earn money to support their families. In addition, in peacetime, the sense of national defense has gradually weakened, and there is no sense of urgency to be prepared for danger in times of peace.

In fact, Eric has been paying attention to this issue for a long time, but because the recent partisan disputes and the veterans in the army at the time of the change of the old and new governments have not completely unified their thinking, and even make a little trouble from time to time, which makes him very sad. Fortunately, this time he finally solved the problem of the eastern part and the air force once and for all, and after removing the serious troubles that had plagued him for many years, he can now free up his hands to vigorously develop the cause of national defense.

It took Eric a day and a night to carefully study and annotate the "General Account of the Implementation of the Comprehensive Rural Reform" written by the Minister of Agriculture, Magnus von Braun. Combined with the current situation of conscription difficulties, he intends to merge the two into a single problem, and work with Acting Chancellor Hans Luther to solve it once and for all.

At about thirteen o'clock in the afternoon, Acting Chancellor Hans Lutheran arrived with Andreas von Schmidt as scheduled, and Eric was very happy and personally came out of the office to greet him with a smile.

"Let's go, let's go to the living room!" Eric greeted him and looked at the personable young man in front of him.

Aynata hurried over to make tea for everyone, and set up a few fruits and cigarettes on the tea table in the living room.

Andreas von Schmidt's appearance belongs to the more handsome type, and the clothes are a little old, but the overall is clean and decent. From the moment he entered the door, Eric had been carefully observing, and found that this young man's upbringing was not bad, although he did not say a word, but he had already bowed to his master in terms of behavior and body, which ordinary young people in society could not and could not do.

The three of them entered the drawing-room, and Andreas made a humble gesture, and then sat down generously on the sofa facing Hans Luther, with Eric in the main seat and Hans Luther in the guest seat.

It was a gentleman who had come to an end, and Eric began to like the young man in his heart.

"Dear Mr. President, this is Mr. Andreas von Schmidt, whom I solemnly recommend to you," Hans Luther said.

Hearing Acting Chancellor Hans Luther introducing himself to the president, Andreas quickly stood up and gestured slightly to Eric.
