Mannheim is a small city near Frankfurt, although the city is small and narrow, but because of its location between Frankfurt and Stuttgart's economic development corridor, and the confluence of the Rhine and Neckar rivers here, it has become one of the distribution centers for the transshipment of goods in southwest Germany.

Because it is a rare western plain and has excellent water and land transportation, most of the processing enterprises that have returned from overseas have chosen to settle in Mannheim, making this beautiful inland town more lively and busy.

The most proud of Mannheim people is not only the developed processing industry, but also commendable culture and education, there is a nationally famous Palatinate School of Economics and Mannheim School of Economics and Business, although the current teaching is still a very young discipline, but the golden sign of economics and trade, not only filled the gap in the field of German disciplines at that time, but also became an important role in cultivating and exporting future talents.

If Germans have always had a tradition of respecting teachers and teaching, then Eric Adrian, president of the German Federal Federation, has spared no effort. In post-war Germany, the country's economy struggled, but President Eric did not neglect or reduce the amount of money spent on education. The construction of the schools planned for the whole country before the war and the construction of the schools after the war still started according to the original plan, which not only reflects the overall quality of the people of the German Confederation, but also the beautiful expectations of the Germans for civilization and development. Education is not abandoned by war, not by economic constraints, and not by political change, which is the basis for Germany's prosperity.

In just six months, Mannheim High School was built on the banks of the Rhine, during which time not only the educational facilities were perfected, but also the team of teachers with the corresponding qualifications, and with the arrival of the staff and the enrollment of students, the orderly curriculum in line with similar institutions in the country began in August.

A total of more than 1,000 colleges and universities at all levels opened at the same time throughout the country, and this cannot but be said to be a great miracle in post-war history. Eric Adrian, a political businessman, racked his brains to fulfill his first wish at the beginning of his administration. It not only solves the problem of national education, but also resettles a considerable number of veterans.

Almost all German soldiers were well educated, and there were many university graduates among the non-commissioned and lieutenant officers, and these people were very suitable for political education and history teaching because of their rich life experience, which effectively solved the shortcomings of the lack of educators in China.

Soon after the war, the German Confederation read aloud, and many countries, including the United States, were amazed.

No matter how busy he was with political affairs, Eric would visit some schools regularly, and he would not hesitate to use the state's emergency reserve funds to meet the legitimate needs of teachers and students, until the situation slowly changed when the national economy improved greatly.

When Guderian received presidential approval for the design of the new tank, Brauchitsch and Lundstedt were so happy that they went to the Eric Group and Dresden, respectively, the next day to confirm and authorize them.

Eric's report on the "escalation of friction between Poland and the Soviet Union" kept Eric awake all night, but these troublesome international events did not interrupt his routine arrangement, and today was the day he visited the school in the capital as usual, so he had to cheer up a hundred times more and face the teachers and students of the school with an amiable smile.

Eric's first stop was the Adrian School, the most famous school in Berlin, not because it was closest to the presidential palace, but because of the passion and anticipation of the school he had invested in in one of his early years. He regarded the school as important as his son, Halis Eugene Adrian, and even cared more about it than he loved him. Now his son Helis is far away in Marienburg, Hanover, and he often wanders in front of the school when he misses his son. The president's civilian attire generally does not arouse the covetation of the citizens of the capital, and most of the citizens think that their President Eric Adrian will definitely be dressed brightly and radiantly, so Eric's civilian attire brings him a lot of convenience and a great sense of security, and he even occasionally takes the place of the servants to buy small vegetables in the busiest market in Berlin and haggle with the small traders and vendors.

The teachers and students of the school did not know that President Eric would come today, and Eric would not greet them in advance, although Mr. President did not neglect to care about the school because of state affairs, but there are hundreds of such educational institutions in the capital, and they will not know which school Mr. President will choose to visit and inspect.

In public as president, Eric would certainly dress carefully, because he now represents the image of the country, and he does not want the citizens to think that his president is like a young man working as a porter in a factory outside Berlin.

The old man guarding the gate did not know that he was the president of the Federal Republic of Germany, let alone the headmaster of the school, but because he was a frequent visitor to the school, he often walked back and forth on the road in front of the school, and he was no stranger to the place. After only a routine check-in, Eric and the Minister of the Interior, Hans Luther, walked into the school's playground without any problems.

Several classes were doing sports, and the students' energy seemed to give him a glimpse of his own youth, not in Berlin, of course, but in a very distant other, a planet that longed for the Earth.

A kid named Albert Speer saw them first and greeted Eric warmly. It was not the first time they had seen each other, so, in addition to a very polite greeting, Albert continued to attend his sporting activities. Eric felt that he was very close to this child, and always felt that there would be some story between them in the future, so when he walked into the school gate, he also deliberately searched for this lively and cute boy.

Albert Speer was a child from Mannheim who had come all the way to Adrian High School, and the family had originally planned to send him to Frankfurt for a boarding school, but with the establishment of the local university, the family were more than happy to let him attend Mannheim High School.

However, Albert's brother did not think so, and he preferred that this very cute brother should go to a school with better qualifications, so Fritz Speer, as the elder brother, used his position to take his 14-year-old brother to Berlin and study at the nationally famous Adrian High School. He had a good reason, not only because the school is the best in the country, but also because of its political background. Bigwigs in the political and business circles often jokingly call Adrian High School "Heavenly Ladder School", because the founder and principal of this school is President Eric Adrian, but when the school was founded, it was just a very ordinary private private school. However, many of the students who come out of college work for the Eric Group and the government, so parents want their children to use this school as a way for their future into politics.

Albert didn't know what his brother meant at the time, but he knew from an early age that he should have a learning environment that was appropriate for his identity and birth. When he was very young, because of the subtle influence of his brother Fritz Speer, he also wanted to enter Adrian University with strong faculty, complete experimental facilities and sufficient research and development funds. The young Albert did not understand what politics was, nor did he understand the international and domestic strife that his brother was immersed in, but he felt that it had learning conditions and a technological atmosphere that could not be matched in the world.

Adrian High School was a high-level institution funded by President Eric before World War I, and the original intention of the school at that time was to train qualified scientific research talents for his own company, and it did not consider being linked to the political system. But with the end of the war and the election of President Eric, many parents saw it as a ladder for their children's advancements, and the teachers took pride in teaching at the key high school. In addition, the school's education system and teaching facilities are also important factors in the selection of students, but for the relatively poor students, it is just a place of admiration in their hearts, so Adrian Middle School has become a symbol of identity and status for the poor and powerful.

Eric had considered having his son Helis attend the school in the future, but his wife, Dinah, was adamantly against it, first thinking of the couple's influence among the people, and being so tired of the complexity of politics that she decided to give up the good learning environment and let her son seek fame in Hanover like ordinary children. Eric understands his wife's choice very well, and with his own experience, he doesn't even want Helis to enter politics, of course, his son is still young, and when he grows up, Helis has his own choices, and as parents, their plans may not be fulfilled.

Based on the rumors of Adrian Middle School, President Eric has rarely heard of it, and as president, most people will not speak out in front of him. However, Eric, who had always been committed to a fair education in the country, only wanted children in the German Confederation to have equal access to education, so he decided to formally resign from Adrian High School and recommend Hans Luther as the new headmaster. However, he reiterated that the state's investment in education will not change as a result.

Interior Secretary Hans Luther strongly agreed with President Eric's approach and planned to balance the faculty, infrastructure and research funding of thousands of schools in the country at state expense, with a view to achieving equitable access to schools near and far between. Eric immediately agreed, and instructed Hans Luther to do so as soon as possible.

Before leaving Adrian High School, he asked the school again about Albert Speer's class results and left the school very satisfied.

At present, Poland because of its current foreign policy, relations with Britain, France, the United States and other countries are not harmonious, especially after rejecting France's collective security treaty, and the Soviet Union also fell out again due to historical and territorial contradictions.

After leaving the Adrian Middle School, Eric asked Hans Luther and his entourage to continue to carefully inspect the major schools across the country, and asked them to come up with a more reasonable plan, try their best to do a good job in the cultural education of the German Confederation, and then drove straight to the presidential palace, because Stresemann still had to urgently discuss the "Polish-Soviet question" with him.
