A few good weather days in a row made Adrian feel refreshed, and his efficiency seemed to be much higher. Limited compromise to the east and infinite toughness to the west is the policy he has determined at present in order to resolve the war on the Western Front, and this two-legged way of walking is also a spiritual strategy that opposes contradictions but unifies them, and he wants to use the contradictions between the east and the west to resolve the predicament in front of him. At the same time that Chancellor Stresemann was making great efforts to negotiate with the Soviet Union, Eric was also looking for a solution to the biggest problem facing Germany today.

Prince Likhnovsky seems to be the most indispensable link in Adrian's solution to the western problem, but the difficulty is obvious: the high-ranking member of the Victorian royal family and the former German prince seems to be less than happy to have anything to do with President Eric's German federal government, and if it were not for the invitation of Augustus II as an intermediary and king, Likhnovsky would rather die in the mountains than come out into politics. Fortunately, Adrian is an open-minded president, and if someone else changes, I am afraid it will not be so easy to meet him, let alone ask him to go out and be his own bureaucrat. It's not about the size of the power, it's about the fact that there is an irreconcilable gap between the two.

The reason for this is actually very simple: the famous Prince Likhnovsky was a staunch supporter, and Adrian's Federalist Party, although not the initiator of the overthrow of the Hohenzollern dynasty, did not help the dynasty when it was on the verge of death. As the last favorite of Wilhelm II during his reign, Adrian did not fulfill his duties as a protector because he was grateful for Wilhelm II's promotion and appreciation. All this has made Likhnovsky haunted all the time, and even once doubted Eric? Whether Adrian's personal integrity is questionable. Obviously, Adrian wanted to use this prestigious prince, and it was very difficult, just his president and the title of president would definitely not be enough, and he had to find someone who could impress Prince Likhnovsky in person.

Before the outbreak of World War I, the German Emperor Wilhelm II sent Prince Likhnowski, then 40, to visit England and take the opportunity to test the tone of British politics. Among the many Victorian royals, Prince Likhnowski's high status is not just his good looks, birth number. However, as a prince, he was humble and respectful, and won the respect and appreciation of people from all walks of life, and was a rare communicator at that time, and even the relationship between France and France could not prevent the French diplomatic ambassadors from favoring him. After the Archduke Ferdinand's backstabbing began and before the start of World War I, Likhnowski tried his best to maximize the interests of Germany, and repeatedly proposed a peaceful solution to the problem to various countries.

Moltke Jr., the successor of the legendary Moltke Chief of the General Staff, was also reluctant to get Germany into the chaotic Balkans before World War I, so he and Likhnowski were among the key figures in the same group of people who proposed a peaceful settlement of the dispute. It's just that Moltke's idea is obviously not to let Germany just go through the motions, but to be anxious to reproduce the glory of Prussia, causing Prince Likhnovsky to be stumped by Moltke Jr. many times, and finally using Belgium, a permanently neutral country, as a bridgehead to attack France, which shocked Prince Likhnovsky in Britain!

After the arrogant Wilhelm II insisted that Austria enter the war, Germany began a general mobilization at home, forcing Tsarist Russia to declare its entry into the war at the same time. France, in its own interests, also had to declare war on the Allies.

After the war began, it soon became white-hot, and the German lightning invasion of Belgium was strongly condemned by the British, but Germany rejected the British request for its troops to withdraw its troops from Belgium, and Britain had no choice but to declare its entry into the war. Before Britain entered the war, Likhnovsky had made several trips to Germany and Britain to mediate between them, but with little success, and the two sides were too different to reach a common understanding of their respective interests and obligations.

Not long ago, Germany suddenly launched the "Paris Operation" on the Western Front, and Prince Likhnovsky had disdainfully predicted that the Eric government would fall as a result, but with the recent newspapers and battlefield information, as well as his own intelligence, although the German army did not have an obvious advantage on the surface of the Western Front, it had already shaken this impregnable American, British, and French position in the overall situation, and Foch, the supreme commander of the Allied front, wanted to use the method of stubbornness to fight with the German army had no effect.

As the German western front continued to report good news, the domestic anti-war cries gradually subsided, the morale of the whole army was greatly boosted, and the people's fear of war was also unprecedentedly alleviated.

Eric? President Adrian, of course, was aware of the importance of Likhnowski to Germany at present and even in the future, and since he assumed the presidency, he has written many letters and sent people to ask him to take up his post in Berlin as chief of staff of the president. This seemingly untitled staff member is actually a pivotal figure in the national government. If Likhnovsky's prejudice against Eric is excluded, such a high-ranking position, he must have readily agreed, but unfortunately Likhnovsky is not just an emotionless politician, but a particularly emotional royal, and what happened to Wilhelm II made Likhnowski see no light.

The Chief of Staff of the President has a very broad scope of management and powers, and under special circumstances, he is able to exercise the powers of the President independently, and is a position that can be placed on an equal footing with the Cabinet. Of course, in many ways he had to rely on the fame and means of President Eric, only Eric? Adrian, a legendary rising figure, has the possibility of infinitely amplifying the power of the president's chief of staff, and even the president's cronies can turn the prime minister into an empty shelf with office and no power. Therefore, as the president's chief of staff, such a position is also rare, and it is even more difficult to meet.

Eric? Adrian, with the assistance of Augustus II, Likhnovsky finally agreed to meet and arranged the meeting place at the Hansafelt Palace, where the presidential palace was located.

Adrian specially chose a good weather, and on that day, the usually solemn Hansafelt Palace also deliberately reduced many guards, which made people look very human and harmonious. Likhnovsky is a little out of place with the gentlemen of his current period, he is more inclined to fame and fortune, and his thin beard shows his modest and low-key side, while unlike Wilhelm II, whose beard is pointed straight to the sky, his domineering posture is unmistakable, which makes people feel good.

The meeting took place in peace, and Likhnovsky walked side by side with Augustus II. When they showed up at the door of the reception hall of Hansafelt Palace, President Eric? Adrian was already in the hall to greet him. It wasn't as enthusiastic as people thought, they just made a simple greeting ceremony.

Adrian was the first to break the dullness: "Hello hello! Welcome to your honorable Mr. Likhnowski, whose open-mindedness has given hope to all Germans, and I am confident that our dialogue and cooperation will go down in the history of the German Confederation and that our children and grandchildren will benefit from it. You may be seated, everybody. ”
