After much hesitation, President Kemal finally verbally agreed to Eric's request, and hoped that Germany could draw up a plan to build a ship based on the current situation, including the required raw materials such as steel and oil, and organize the start of construction as soon as possible.

Eric is naturally very willing, it is not only a good opportunity to train and build ships, but also a good opportunity to earn foreign exchange, and can also get a strong naval ally because of this, such a good thing Eric of course will not refuse, and then let Brauchitsch convey an order to the naval command, not to come up with a "perfect shipbuilding plan" in the shortest possible time.

After welcoming President Kemal, Eric received two more kings in succession, one Iraqi and the other of Arabia, and also asked them to build the pipeline, which was unsurprisingly successful. The two countries are oil kingdoms in the Middle East, and they are willing to support oil pipelines and allow German companies to explore and exploit oil fields on their territory.

After repeated negotiations, the exploration and production equipment was provided by German companies, with Germany receiving 60 per cent of the oil and the host country receiving the remaining 40 per cent, and then Germany could purchase 20 per cent of the oil at a rate equal to one-half of the market price, for a total of 80 per cent of the oil extraction. In addition, the two countries jointly pledged not to sell oil to countries that are at war with Germany, and the agreement is for a period of 30 years, in addition to which Germany has an absolute right of renewal.

After Eric's bilateral negotiations, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for drawing up the details of the contract based on the negotiation records. On the third day, the much-anticipated contract was finally signed at the Hansafelt Palace.

Eric was very happy to shake hands with the heads of state of the two countries in turn, and reporters from all over the world also seized this rare opportunity to take pictures with each other, leaving a beautiful moment under the constant shining of the spotlight. For several days in a row, what happened in the press conference hall of the Hansa Fürth Palace became the focus of attention from all over the world.

The reason why Iraq and Arabia are so relieved and bold to let Germany run the oil exploration business in their territory is indeed forced to have no equipment, no technology, no talent, and no sufficient financial support. Even if all of the above aspects are in place, it is difficult to achieve results for a while.

The 20 percent of Germany's preferential purchase is actually traded at a preferential price for German military supplies, and Iraq and Arabia can obtain 20 percent of the right to buy and sell independently, and it is nothing more than a purchase by Germany at the market price, so as to obtain a large amount of Deutsche Mark as a national reserve, so as to facilitate the purchase of some commodities urgently needed by Germany, including precision machine tools, from Germany. As for the pipeline, which would have to cross nearly 10 countries and travel thousands of kilometers, Eric was not in a hurry to complete it at one moment, because there were still many technical problems. The best way to do this is to build an oil pipeline in Asia, build pumping stations along the way to increase the pressure, and then reach Venice via the Aegean Sea to Venice, the southern mouth of Germany. Pipelines were then built from Venice to the Ruhr industrial region, the Schwerin industrial region, the Dresden industrial region and the major shipyards in the north, forming a national oil vein.

This is a huge project that has never been seen in the world, and it will also be a major challenge to test Germany's technological prowess. After settling the current situation of Romania and then annexing Hungary, Eric will not begin to consider building an oil pipeline from Istanbul through Bulgaria to mainland Germany.

In addition to the land project, it is necessary to lay an undersea oil pipeline, which is not enough in Germany to support the project, and will only be realized after the good news from the national research center. Of course, this huge amount of money will not only be paid by the German government, but also by domestic powerful companies such as Krupp, Rheinland, Fokker, Skoda, Blomforss, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Horch, Junckers, Bavaria, etc., all of which will contribute to the formation of new oil extraction companies, which are ready to take off. As soon as the representatives of Germany, Iraq, and Argentina signed the final agreement, they set out for the vast oil fields of the two countries.

And those small companies with relatively small strength, or who are not willing to bear the pressure alone, will form joint mining companies in groups and go directly to the Middle East to find the "black gold" in their hearts.

The Middle East Gold Rush began to spread throughout Germany on the radio and by word of mouth, and the Venetian docks became the starting point of the "Crusades" of the Germans to the oil-producing areas, and the do-gooders even hung up the white-edged and black-hearted cross flag of the German Navy.

"Mr. President, you are very happy these days, and you are happy, and our staff will be happy." Ananta walks into the office and brings Eric a cup of green tea. With Max's experience in the past, Eric felt the need to reduce the frequency and quantity of coffee he drank, and that drinking more tea would be good for his spleen and stomach.

"But isn't it, I didn't expect the Ottoman Empire to do us a great favor before 'dying', and now it is much easier to ease the pressure of domestic investment, coupled with military orders from Turkey and other countries, Germany will not have to worry about overcapacity in the next ten years, do you say I'm happy." Eric didn't care whether Ananta understood it or not, and just said everything in his heart.

Without Dinah by his side, Eric now had little to talk to, and apart from Anata, Brauchitsch was one of the few people to talk to.

"Why didn't Mr. President let the Eric Group participate in this gold rush?" Ananta asked with a smile.

"Don't join in the fun, the Eric Group has been on the cusp for too long, and it's time to step back into the background." Eric is right, the foundation stone of the Eric Building at Friedrichstraße 1 has begun to be laid, and his replacement is Johann Wolfgang Ferdinand, a young man who wanted to be brought to work in the Ministry of Finance, was finally recommended to Dinah by Eric and is now the head of the Eric Group. Dinah only handed over the work in Copenhagen in the form of a phone call or telegram, and Ferdinand quickly got started, and finally Dinah directly delegated power to Ferdinand, which of course was indispensable to the background check report given by the FBI, so that Dinah made a decision with confidence.

Ferdinand was indeed a native of Germany, a descendant of the Habsburg royal family in Europe, whose father decided to immigrate to the United States because of his family's backwardness.

"Honorable Mr. President, this afternoon at 3 p.m. is the time for the visit of Field Marshal Franz von Hippel of the Admiralty of the Navy, please be ready, and if there is anything you want me to handle, please also attach me in advance." Ananta reminded and exited the office.

Eric signaled that he understood, and then became bored again.

Once a sound cabinet is in place, the work is much more profitable, and with the seemingly never-ending energy of Stresemann, there are not so many things to worry about and manage, and he can almost devote himself to the scientific research projects of the state, although he occasionally examines and cares about the reconstitution of the Wehrmacht, and has almost nothing to do in peacetime. He is not a dictator, but his "foresight" has forced him to intervene in advance and turn things in a good direction, which must be said at the top of the government, otherwise there will be great resistance in proposals and implementation, and even his former followers will not be convinced.

At this moment, Eric walked to the bookshelf boredly with his coffee cup, and now, he had the desire to read, however, he couldn't find a book he wanted to read, so he searched for it and walked to the windowsill again.

"It's too idle, too idle is like a cruel torture, and it's confusing. I used to want to take a good rest after being busy with something, but I never got my wish, but now that I have time to rest, I feel uncomfortable all over. Eric smiled wryly and secretly scolded himself for being a.

Since coming into this world, Eric has been almost a machine, with no opportunities and time for pleasure, and the happiest time is to accompany Dinah in the countryside, or stay quietly in the castle, enjoying the sunshine that comes every day, and accompanying his first child. The most memorable thing is that I was fortunate to accompany Dinah to climb the mountain opposite the Frankfurt tank unit, but the promise I made at the top of the mountain was still partially fulfilled, and I always felt guilty.

For the outside world, the presidential palace is particularly mysterious and desirable, and the people who come and go are the top bureaucrats in the country in addition to state guests. In fact, people who live here for a long time do not necessarily feel happy, but have invisible pressure. The president's office has three doors, on the right, front and left sides of the desk. These three doors are not open by anyone, and the presidential palace has clear rules. The door closest to the president's office is barely used, and there is a five-member rapid response team that is fully armed at all times to ensure the president's safety.

The front door on the right side is used for receiving visitors, such as foreign guests, the chancellor, Brauchitsch, and the staff summoned by the president, and even ordinary people can enter after examination, and Dinah and the chief of staff Annata can enter from here, as it is directly connected to the hall of the Hansa Felt Palace.

The only door on the left side is an independent corridor leading to the underground shelter, and next to the only corridor is the office of the chief of staff of the president, like the chief of security of Max, the chief of military intelligence, the chief of people's livelihood, etc., are all working here, it is a much larger place than the president's office, and there is a soundproofing effect between each small department, when they usually go to work, there are many people who come in and out here, it seems very casual, in fact, working in such an environment, they can't make any mistakes, otherwise, It must not be a trivial issue.

The bored Eric is going to hang out today, and after being in the Hanseatic Palace for so long and not having carefully walked around the presidential palace, it's time to get to know this place well.

"Where to go? Let's look at providence. Eric muttered to himself, picked up a pen and squeezed it between his fingers, twisted it so hard that it began to spin rapidly on the table.

"Go wherever the pen points to." Eric is like a kid at times.
