Hansafelt Palace, the first time since the relocation of the German presidential palace, is also the first time since the launch of the "Paris Operation" that President Eric ? Adrian was seriously preparing for the office for the first time. In just a few days, the god-like President Eric personally provoked the brutal war on the Western Front, and almost all of the international spies were used. Of course, he didn't want to get any top-secret information from the pigeons he personally flown off, more precisely, he just wanted to know if the pigeons were "pecking", and he hoped that the net he had laid would bring him good news along the way.

Rushing back to Berlin from Dresden was a last resort, because the intelligence of the rescue chamber had lost its effect, the two armies were no longer able to distinguish clearly, and besides, the other functions of the rescue chamber could not be used in the event of a lack of energy. So, Adrian had no choice but to pray and return to the capital city of Berlin, where he was supposed to be located.

As the president of the Federal Republic of Germany, Adrian never thought about which day was his holiday, he was helpless, and there was no other way. In fact, he could have given himself a time to relax, and he had never returned home in the past few years because he missed his wife, Miss Dinah, and his newborn daughter, and his time had been requisitioned by the state indefinitely. He never thought that the president of a country would have so much involuntarily, otherwise, he would rather not take this step.

Before the guards could open the car door, they saw Chancellor Stresemann walking towards him with the entire cabinet, each carrying a huge suitcase in his hand. Feng? Hindenburg sent people to purchase it exclusively from Dresden. This is not a trip to go, Adrian knows what they want to do, if all the cabinet members are indifferent at this critical moment, it is not normal, therefore, he remained silent, smiling at the anxious eyes of all the cabinet members.

After all, Adrian was the gold of a man who came out of the sand, and Stresemann's questioning had long been expected by him, and he already knew that there would be a day when the front headquarters announced another attack on Britain, the United States, and France. It is unbelievable to say that the dignified Chancellor did not hear the slightest rumor before the country launched such a large-scale military operation, it was Hans? Kluger, the well-known minister of state security, has not received any information, and only some bits and pieces of information have not yet been able to compile a report. With such a covert operation, it is no wonder that these cabinet members will go to such great lengths to "find trouble".

Stresemann's cabinet was only a diplomatic defeat for Foreign Minister Miller, and before he could make the next move, he heard about the large-scale military operation of the German army, which gave everyone the impression that it was indeed too hasty. The present cabinet members were still in the terror of the great war, and they regarded the present Germany as a sick man, like a terminally ill giant, and the war initiated by Adrian was like the last fight of the giant before he died.

Striding to the front, his eyebrows furrowed into two hooks, Stresemann was the first to trouble Adrian. Of course, the calm Adrian will not let this frame intimidate, he has his way, and it works.

The guard opened the door, and Adrian walked up the steps and said to everyone with a smile, "Gentlemen! My gentlemen! My ministers, don't be in a hurry, let's go to the office and talk slowly. Then, without waiting for anyone else's statement, he walked straight through the crowd towards his presidential office.

Stresemann sighed, and had to follow closely, and on the way back to the office, Adrian was greeted by all kinds of strange stares from the staff, who were very uncomfortable with the sudden disappearance and sudden appearance of the president, and this discomfort was more of a surprise.

Adrian took off his trench coat and handed it to his assistant, motioning for everyone to sit down, when a murky sound was heard, and a thick stack of papers smashed on the table. Adrian didn't even look at it, he never felt scared in his heart, because he knew that the person who smashed things must be his good prime minister, and no one else had such guts.

Stresemann couldn't hold back any longer, and the temper tantrum he had been building up for days was now shouting in the highest volume of his life: "Ridiculous! It's ridiculous! No! This is deception! This was a diplomatic act that brought shame to the German Federal States, and it was also a military operation that made people feel feared! ”

Nearly 20 members of the entire cabinet, ministers and deputy ministers were in the president's office, and Stresemann's words were not for the ministers, but for the president of the federal state in front of him, who today had no intention of saving half of the face of the federal president. Adrian sat on the couch, and instead of immediately responding to Stresemann's criticism, he tilted his head to look at the wall, and then touched the back of his head with his hand, the yellow hair that was his pride. When Stresemann's temper was almost gone, he said word by word: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister, you can sit down, of course, it is not right that the diplomatic and military operations did not greet you in advance, but when you know all the ins and outs, you will be greatly surprised, of course, I will explain them to you one by one." Well, tell me about your situation, how are you talking with the representatives of the Soviet Union, I would like to hear good news now. ”

As soon as Adrian's words were finished, Stresemann angrily grabbed the stack of papers on the table in his hand, whether he would scratch it or not, strode directly to Adrian's side, spread all the papers on the desk and said: "Your Excellency the President, do you remember that there was a Soviet Union!?" Oh! That's good, I thought you were still commanding your thousands of troops at this moment, oh, but you're embarrassed to mention the Soviet Union? Look, it's all just your little trick! Not only have you deceived the Entente countries such as Britain, France, and the United States! Your skillful skills have deceived even us cabinet members! ”

Adrian motioned to Prime Minister Stresemann to wait first, cleared his throat in embarrassment, and said: "We can't say that the meeting with the representatives of the Soviet Union is a deception, even if we don't think about reaching any agreement with the Soviet Union, but at least we can live in peace with the current Soviet Union." Gustav, you should understand that we are still in a time of war, war, you understand, it takes wisdom, we eliminated the troubles in the east with wisdom, and then we made a very correct decision, and that's it. Of course, if you have to say that this is a means, then I tell you, when dealing with abnormal events, you do need a corresponding means! It's no different from what we usually do."

Adrian is not trying to justify his actions, of course, it is also important to be able to get the understanding of the prime minister, especially now, to be able to take care of his face, it will be good for Stresemann's future work, after all, this is a national office, and there are many talented people of all kinds. Of course, he will not continue to quarrel like this with Stresemann's temperament, otherwise, he will lose face as president.

At this time, Deputy Foreign Minister Walter? Rathenau suddenly interjected: "As far as I know, our military operation has achieved great results. At least the attitude of Britain and the United States is no longer as stubborn as before, and the French are now seeking to protect themselves, and I don't think they will last long. ”

Brauchitsch had returned with Adrian, and he was the last person to be silent, so he hastened to say: "Since war is inevitable, and political and diplomatic means have become so insignificant at this time, then we can only speak with our German artillery and submachine guns, and you should know that there is a world of difference between "surrender in defeat" and "peaceful truce." It was necessary for us to make the Entente understand Germany's bottom line. ”

After listening to everyone's discussion, Adrian looked back at Hans, Minister of National Security? Kluge asked, "Hans, tell me what you think." ”

Hans? Kluge took a hard puff of his cigarette and said slowly: "Well, Your Excellency, I will also tell you that I don't know much about internal affairs, and I am not very good at diplomacy, so I can only provide some help in military operations." Although the first two issues are not very relevant to me, they are more or less related, at least I have to pay my salary. Now, Major General Rommel, who broke through the French defenses, can be said to have been assisted by a lot of intelligence officers, and the reason why the president has scattered such a large contingent of personnel all over the world is so that thousands of troops like General Rommel will no longer be hindered, and I can't guarantee that it will work, but the Ministry of National Security has been working hard, gentlemen. ”

Other officials also expressed their opinions one after another, and everyone had said what they should have said, and Adrian said unhurriedly: "Gentlemen, your concerns are not unreasonable, otherwise I would doubt whether you are working, thank you!" You didn't let me down. This time, we took three steps in just a few days, the first of which was to use diplomatic means to negotiate the question of war; The second step was to push the boat down the river, and many understandings were reached with the Soviet side; The third step was to use strength to make the Entente change their attitude towards us. Don't underestimate these three steps, none of them can be missing, and at the same time, which step is wrong, if I discuss them with you one by one before taking action, then, don't think that you can't achieve the current effect, I believe you will understand. ”

Stresemann did not speak, his anger slowly faded, and in such a way of talking, anyone can quickly become infected by this atmosphere. Stresemann was not confused, in fact, he also knew that Adrian's approach might be the only right thing, and the reason why he was so angry was that he felt that the president did not fully embrace himself. However, his blunt attitude can be forgiven by the president, which also shows that he still has some weight in the president's heart, which also makes him very satisfied. Now, he no longer dwells on what is wrong with President Eric's behavior, so many cabinet members have talked about their own views, and as the prime minister, he should understand and no longer retain some of his own editorial opinions, so he began to report to the president in a calm manner.

The conversation with the Soviet delegates was a multifaceted one, one of which was a demand that Stresemann and the German government improve the conditions of the workers and the position of the Workers' Party, followed by a memorandum of future cooperation between the Soviet Union and Germany, and then a Polish demand that Germany reduce the number of its national army on the Polish-German border.
