Chapter 27: Differences of Opinion (2)
In the next few days, Adrian met with many big names about unrestricted submarine warfare, and these people had some coercion and temptation, but Adrian still went his own way. This attitude also boosted the morale of those who supported him behind him, which is invisible, but it is a symbol of the human heart.
But what Adrian didn't expect was that the position of the General Office of Military Economy did not seem to be pleasing at all, at least the vast majority of the soldiers who were fighting on the front line did not like him very much.
Gas bombs, a weapon that has been used insanely on the battlefield, Adrian ordered the abolition of manufacturing and rationing after taking office, a move that angered the soldiers on the front line who had been persecuted by enemy gas, and a voice for Adrian's resignation quickly grew.
Ludendorff was one of the leading figures of this voice, and along with Ludendorff came to Adrian the former Chief of the General Staff, Falkingham, who is now Chief of the General Staff on the Western Front. A commander-in-chief of the Western Front, a chief of the General Staff of the Western Front, did not supervise the war on the Western Front, but ran to Berlin to find Adrian.
When the two arrived at Adrian's office, the latter was not here, but attending a party in the hotel.
At this time, Hilna, who had become a wife, was holding Adrian's arm and greeting the invited business owners warmly, and the etiquette was vividly reflected in this aristocratic lady, which made Adrian's face rise. The vast majority of the people invited were military business owners, who were more or less in business dealings with companies under the Eric Group, either to undertake terminal manufacturing or design tasks, and they were no strangers. This is also the reason why Adrian is qualified for this position, he has already established a position in Germany, and there is no named military economic office, which is also due to the imperfect economic law and company law at this time, which gives him an opportunity.
When the crowd was almost there, Adrian stepped onto the podium in front of everyone's attention, stretched out his pocket and said, "Oh, sorry, I didn't bring a speech. Then he smiled humorously and said, "But there is no gossip." ”
Everyone laughed out loud when they saw Adrian so humorous, without a speech? Not to mention his group of secretaries and orderlies, even he himself is a very charismatic person, and he can speak at length without a speech, but everyone has seen his ability.
"I have only one intention to convene everyone here today, that is, I want to tell you that there will be an announcement of new weapons indicators led by the Ministry of Military Economy on Monday next week, and I hope you will not miss it." Adrian said this slowly, trying to make sure that everyone didn't miss a single piece of critical information. It is said that such news only needs to reveal a little bit of news, and everyone will squeeze their heads to go up, but this general office has to hold a separate party to announce the news in advance, which is intriguing, just when everyone is still thinking, Adrian broke a big news.
"There is more than one new weapon indicator this time, involving army weapons, naval weapons, and now air force equipment. So, if you want to get an order, it's best to think about whether you can eat it. Friendly reminder two points: the first point, unite your insufficient enterprises, to make up for the shortcomings, but don't be greedy, be careful to eat too much and spit it out to fulfill others. Adrian made a strange reminder to lighten up the atmosphere again, and then continued: "None of the companies owned by the Eric Group will participate in this meeting. ”
Whoop -
An uncanny sound overshadowed the soft music throughout the auditorium, but he ignored the men's doubts and left the auditorium. A secretary was waiting for him in the break room. After hearing the noise in the auditorium, he knew it should be over.
The secretary told Adrian the news that Ludendorff and Falkingham had jointly found, and did not say why, but they all knew what the reason was.
"Poison gas bombs are harmful to others and not to themselves! I don't know who came up with the idea, I couldn't control it before, but now I can manage it, and I will never let the gas bombs be used out of the hands of the Germans! Never! Adrian heard that these two people were coming, and he knew what it was for without the secretary telling him, he had expected him to be like this, but when it happened, he still couldn't help the atmosphere. It is really that he hates this "weapon" that exterminates humanity too much.
