A tough foreign strategy is nothing more than two outcomes: either to suppress the opponent with momentum and achieve the goal of surrendering without a fight, or to face off on the battlefield and use a rain of bullets to speak, with the winner superior and the loser to be the subordinate. On the earth, where there are many big countries, there is only a difference between the strong and the weak, there is no absolute sharing of interests, and there is no respect and humility at all for foreign compromise and soft policies. Eric walked such a lonely tightrope in the air.

In contrast to the fact that some people in the cabinet had objected to Eric's adventurous behavior, but Eric's toughness was always rewarded with genuine respect and benefits, while the compromise "Berlin peace talks" deprived Germany of many national interests, and not only did it not get concessions from the United States in the field of resources, but it was often forced into a corner by the French.

The United States is constantly watching the developments in Europe, and since the return of Deputy Minister of the German Foreign Office, Rathenau, from London to nothing, the German-French and German-Italian borders have once again seen a tense confrontation. The imminent war has attracted great attention from Washington.

The White House ruler believes that a stable Europe can bring unlimited business opportunities to the country, and this kind of fighting that affects the fish in the pond must be stopped. On 28 March, representatives of Britain, France, Germany, and Italy went to the United States one after another, and in accordance with London's wishes, earnest talks to promote peace remained the focus of this discussion.

Previously, in addition to the peace talks in London, Germany's intensive diplomacy was also quietly unfolding. Stresemann personally met with the Soviet ambassador to Germany at the Chancellery, and the next day the two countries again issued a third joint communiqué in public and revised the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact. The term Poland was explicitly erased from the treaty, and Germany recognized the fact that the Soviets owned eastern Poland, and the Soviet power recognized Germany's existing territory and the delimitation of its known borders.

Like a bombshell, countries around the world were shocked. In fact, the Soviet Union and Germany had relevant treaties before, but they did not intend to announce them to the outside world with great fanfare, and the turmoil between France and Italy forced Eric to repeat the old tune, reminding countries not to forget the existence of the Soviets, and at the same time telling the world that Germany was not only a "friend" of Western society.

French President Alexandre Millerand and Prime Minister Biancarré are both anti-German and German-hateful politicians, and the resolution of the border crisis will be a cloud unless the two rulers are forced to change their views on Germany. At the same time, the hidden front of the German Confederation also began to fight without gunpowder, and anti-government demonstrations and labor union demonstrations took place in Paris, Lyon, Orleans and other places.

After the signing of the treaty between the Soviet Union and Germany, Eric sent a clear telegram to Kemal to continue to reduce the number of troops stationed in the Soviet Union and the Iranian border, and the Wehrmacht was intensively transferred to the southern region as quickly as possible, forming a squeeze on the French colony of Syria.

The continuation of the Turkish-Greek war made Germany and Turkey become grasshoppers on a rope, and at the instigation of Eric, Kemal fought hard and launched a number of life-fighting counterattacks against the Greek army, which happened to have some effect, but the number of Greek troops was obviously much less.

The five-nation meeting in Washington to promote peace is continuing, and it was originally planned to allow journalists from various countries to enter the venue, because the news of Germany's presence on the Syrian border has reached Washington, and it has to be changed to closed-door consultations. The French delegates were very indignant and repeatedly accused Germany of having no sincerity in resolving the issue and of deliberately sabotaging the opportunity for the five-nation talks to hold earnest talks.

"This earnest meeting should be based on the "Berlin Peace Talks" to maintain the post-World War I international order, and our side will not tolerate Germany's wanton annexation of neighboring countries, nor will it stand idly by, and hope that the international community will uphold justice and jointly crusade against ......."

"I strongly disapprove of the misuse of the word 'annexation' by the French representatives, for it is well known that the Yugoslav states chose to annex to the German Confederation rather than surrender, still less to the so-called 'annexation', and only when Germany had a sufficient sense of security would such a situation take place, and besides, there was an equal contract between us. I don't understand what France was doing when many countries were attacking each other, fighting frequently, and the people were struggling to make a living, and why it was talking here when the countries chose to coexist peacefully, which was really ill-intentioned. German Foreign Minister Müller also fought-for-tat and argued.

The United States was not worried about the impact of the Soviet-German non-aggression pact between Germany and the Soviet Union, and Eric's threats only made the Americans a little less money in their pockets. However, a stable Europe is bound to provide a good environment for the United States to have enough food and clothing, while a developing Germany is both loved and hated.

Following the disruption of the meeting by the representative of France, the representatives of the five countries reunited on 29 March. This time, the representative of the United States put forward a charter before the meeting, hoping that everyone would exercise restraint when expressing their views, and in particular, not interrupt the conversation of others in the middle of the meeting.

"Germany is not afraid of trouble, it is not afraid of trouble, and it is not afraid of wars imposed on us by others. Is it this time? Obviously not, but in turn it is France that has always been sanctimonious. If Germany does not have the sincerity to solve the problem, then I would like to ask the French representative, what am I sitting here for? This time it was Miller's turn to speak first. After a pause, Miller continued to make an impassioned statement: "I think we should all learn from the United States, do what we should do, and make all the money we can make, instead of fighting to the death on regional issues, and don't impose our will on others." ”

At the meeting, representatives of all parties came and went, and there was a war of words, especially the representatives of France and Italy, which made the meeting repeatedly present an embarrassing situation.

This pointless rip-off puts the organizers in a dilemma. In order to hide their embarrassment, everyone either silenced or coughed dryly, South American cigars were on the stage, and the small conference room was constantly smoky. Miller wanted to draw the United States into his camp, deliberately complaining. Such a meeting delayed his first mission in the United States, and he should find more raw materials here to send back to China at such a good time, instead of spilling here like a woman.

Although Miller's words were addressed to the American representatives, this is indeed the case in Germany. In the United States, Eric buys everything, does not refuse to come, and sometimes does not lose his tyrant style. As the largest trading partner, the United States is willing to do business with the Germans, and sometimes it has to give Germany the most favorable treatment in all respects.

In contrast to the growing international influence of the United States after World War I, the leadership of Britain is gradually declining, and in many respects, Germany is the right-hand man of the United States in international affairs, and many of the interests that cannot be intervened in Europe are maintained by Germany.

Of course, there is also a need for each one. In international affairs, France has always played an important role, but in the eyes of the Americans, it is a spoiler who has not achieved enough to lose. On the issue of the Asian colonies, there have always been disputes between the United States and France, and although they have not broken down, the hidden wounds are everywhere; Germany, on the other hand, is alone, has not the slightest conflict of interest with the United States, and is an important trading partner.
