Shortly after Eric's address to the nation, the British wartime cabinet leader, David Lee, was far across the Channel. Lloyd's? George also responded to German President Erik's speech and stated that he hoped Max would personally come to London to consult on peace talks.

On the sofas on both sides of the presidential palace sat four people invited by President Eric, namely Vice President Hindenburg, Chancellor Stresemann, and Foreign Minister Herman? Miller, Chief of Staff Max? Likhnovsky.

Eric invited them over just to deal with the British war Cabinet Prime Minister Lloyd? George's speech on the peace talks, who in Eric's government did he say about Lloyd's? George is relatively most familiar with Max, who has mainly visited the UK for state affairs, but is Max to Lloyd? George was also in contact with Lloyd's or Chancellor of the Exchequer when his colleague Foreign Secretary Edward? Gray has a close personal relationship. Can Lloyd's make this speech before Edward? Gray also resigned after the outbreak of the war and went to the United States as a diplomatic ambassador. The reason why Eric paid so much attention to Lloyd's speech was that Lloyd's transfer of Edward back to China was a corresponding signal, and it was obvious that Lloyd's also knew that Max and Edward had a close personal relationship, which was a deep-water peace bomb. Blowing up Eric made him feel that happiness came so suddenly, so he urgently called four people to discuss the German response this time.

Max, as the person who knew Edward best, first said: "Lloyd this time? George's willingness to invite Edward, who was far away in the United States, to return home was clear that Germany should continue to lead the way in peace, oh no, peace negotiations, and to make them feel that this government was completely different from the previous empire. ”

Herman? Miller nodded in agreement with Max's words, he took up the post of foreign minister, and had previously represented Germany in a peace negotiation with the Allies, the result of which was obvious, and Eric launched another offensive for this purpose, but this attack forced the Allies back to the negotiating table, which was a good thing. He thought about it, as the foreign minister, he also needed to talk about his own views, and after watching for a while, no one answered, so he said: "As far as I know at present, among the three countries, Britain, the United States and France is most interested in negotiating peace is Britain, followed by the United States, whose intention is also obvious, but it is a little tougher than Britain, mainly because it is not very willing to make concessions on the issue of war reparations. France, on the other hand, had no intention of doing so at all, and Britain and France had secretly put pressure on the top level, and the results were not ideal. Whether this pressure is really real or not, and it needs to be implemented again by Minister Hans, I personally prefer to believe it. Britain is no better off than Germany now, and even with the help of the United States, it is already a dead end, and the anti-war voice at home is becoming stronger and stronger. If negotiations are to be made, the good situation in the aftermath of the Paris operation is an opportunity not to be missed. ”

This time it was Stresemann's turn to nod, and he also thought the same way, the situation in Germany was worse than before the war, and even ending the war now would require a lot of time, energy, and financial resources to recover, which was an instant fact. The sooner we get out of the war, the more helpful it will be to restore the country's strength, and the peace mentality of Stresemann, the prime minister, can be seen, if it were not for Eric's resolute refusal to Mueller to sign the unconditional surrender, I am afraid that Stresemann would have signed the matter directly on his behalf. But Eric knew that World War I was not the only catastrophe of mankind, World War II was the beginning of the catastrophe of mankind, a war with a completely background of weapons of mass destruction, and it was more tragic than the first war.

The wedge of World War II was the humiliation and strong revenge mentality of Germany in the Paris Peace Treaty after World War I, and the Prussian militarists who clamored for revenge.

Although Stresemann did not speak, as prime minister, he was more like a prime minister, an extension of Eric, representing Eric's every move, so Eric set his sights on Vice President Hindenburg. Although Hindenburg did not have military power since he became vice president, he still had an extremely important influence among the people, the military and the aristocracy.

Hindenburg also wanted peace, and Eric's repeated emphasis on peace negotiations rather than unconditional surrender seemed to him absurd at first, because it was unlikely. After the Paris operation, Rommel's army has approached Paris, and the scene of attacking the French capital is about to be staged again, and the French army is too late to return at this moment, if the French authorities are still persistent to the end, he is convinced that Eric will break the jar and destroy the French dignitaries. Seeing Eric's gaze, Hindenburg hesitated for a moment and said: "I don't understand what the hell you are talking about, but I know that the great empire has an elite approaching Paris, if it can take Paris, I think it will be more beneficial for the prince's foreign visit, right?" ”

As soon as Max heard that Hindenburg meant to continue fighting, he immediately said with some excitement: "Then this will destroy Prime Minister Lloyd's intention to make peace, and there will be too many changes in between!" And if the two armies were still at war, a visit to Britain would be problematic. ”

Hindenburg knew that Max would misunderstand what he meant, and explained: "I am not saying that we should continue to fight, but that Rommel's army can continue to attack, and the troops fighting the French army in the south will remain unchanged from the original plan, and even in order to show Germany's attitude of peace, the two armies A and B, which are fighting with the British and American armies, will be transferred to armies C and D, and then suspend the offensive against Britain and France, which will not only strengthen the combat strength of the French army in the south but also show goodwill to Britain and the United States, killing two birds with one stone, isn't it?" ”

The corners of Eric's mouth curled, and he secretly thought that it was still old ginger, Max? Hoffmann had a similar plan in his original Paris operation, but Hindenburg's vision and insight were superior to Eric's, and he could break the game at a glance.

Finding that all four of them had no objection to the peace visit to Britain, Eric said heartily: "Parliament will be convened in the House of Lords this afternoon to discuss the terms on which Germany can compromise in the peace talks." That's it, everyone has worked hard, and the military's actions will be done according to what Vice President Hindenburg said. Max, you convey this to Max and Brauchitsch. ”

A short meeting ended with a few words of conversation between the five of them.

Whether Britain can be satisfied with this peace negotiation also requires further communication between the two sides, and the bridge that plays a key role in this is the tacit agreement of the top leaders of Britain and Germany. Edward was returning to England with the American ambassador.
