While the vote in Congress was underway, Stresemann and Miller also hurried to the presidential palace. and the Minister of Food, Philip, who came to report on the work? Scheadman and Transport Minister Otto? Glers, Cabinet Minister Hans? Luther was elected speaker of Congress on a rotational basis, so he didn't have time.

An hour after Max sent the telegram, Eric's high-ranking government officials were late, which made President Eric, who has always been strict and like to be organized, a little impatient, and he didn't care about these people who were the same age as his grandfather and said directly: "If you can't even sit down at your own job, you might as well go home and hug your grandson!" Thinking that every extra minute would cause the Germans to miss countless planes in the attack, he became a little irritable for the first time, slapped the table and said, "Gentlemen! Does it take an hour to get from your office to me? Did you come here for a walk?! Yes? ”

Philip? Scheadman, the oldest in the group, felt a little aggrieved after hearing Eric's accusations, because Eric had reduced too many departments and personnel when he formed the current government, which doubled the amount of affairs handled by many agencies and made it much more difficult.

Eric saw that Philip had something to say, so he asked, "Minister Schedeman, just say it." Our time is precious. ”

Philip stood up and said, "Mr. President, you cut the departments when you formed the government, which not only increased our workload, but also made it more difficult. ”

Hearing this, Eric didn't wait for Philip to sit down and said, "You should ask the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance." Cabinet matters aside, I need your help in responding to the U.S. response and presupposing what will happen and how to deal with it. Right now! ”

Herman? Hearing the president's sudden question, Miller said with some confusion: "Didn't you predict that the United States would refuse?" Should Minister Brauchitsch carry out the response? ”

Brauchitsch immediately replied to Miller's question: "The president does not want to carry out part of the plan. ”

Miller asked suspiciously, "Which part?" Don't tell me it's part of Operation Paris! OMG. He was responded to by Brauchitsch's indifference, that is, acquiescence. Miller then turned his gaze to Eric and said eagerly, "Mr. President! I think it is very necessary for me to remind you once again that France will never agree to Germany's conditions, unless that damned Raymond? Poincaré stepped down and let a moderate dominate France, otherwise everything would have been fruitless, Mr. President. ”

Eric turned to look out the window at the garden and said: "It's easy to use military force to attack a country's government departments, but how to keep this government from getting out of control is the problem, there are too many variables, if France increases its hatred of Germany because of this, then there is really no hope for peace talks." Gentlemen, the last part of the Paris operation is a risky move, and if you can't do it, don't use it. Let's think about it, see if we miss any key, and then think of a way. ”

Immediately the office began to fall silent, and after two hours, it was already noon, and everyone still did not come up with a feasible plan. Erik, who was slumped in his chair, said with a headache: "I wish Max was by my side, otherwise I wouldn't have such a headache." As soon as these words came out, the cabinet ministers present were embarrassed, which was simply the same as scolding them for not being able to do it, although the words were ugly, but the truth was also the same, at least they all thought that Max might have a way. It's just that the chief of the general staff is supervising the German army to compress the British and French defensive space for the camp step by step, and blocking the French reinforcements on the other side, from the map it seems that the German army is surrounded, but in fact it has both meanings, it depends on who can turn defense into offense, who is the leader, obviously the German Wehrmacht led by Max is the current battlefield leader, the British, French and American forces are not together, the tactical space is lacking, and the material supply cannot be in place, no matter how you look at it, the German victory is in sight, but Max is also very bitter in his heart, The supply of the seemingly beautiful Wehrmacht has actually bottomed out, and Eric and the cabinet have tried their best not to let the Wehrmacht fight with burning sticks on a hungry stomach, and the food that the Soviet Union and Poland have squeezed out can only be counted once. Fortunately, the German army also received supplies from each other when it was chasing the British, French and American armies, which made the situation slightly better, otherwise Hindenburg would not have been so confident in convening a parliament to propose that Germany continue the war. This stemmed from the news of the victory of the Wehrmacht on the battlefield and the atmosphere of a favorable situation.

By noon, no one had left, and Annata had arranged for the kitchen staff to deliver a high-level set meal to the president and ministers, as well as a bottle of high-strength wine brought by the Soviet diplomatic representative, but everyone had no thoughts. Just when everyone was at a loss, Hindenburg and Ludendorff came out of the parliament, and went straight to the Hanseasa Palace without any stops along the way.

Seeing Ludendorff's arrival, Eric greeted him with a sad face.

Hindenburg's expression was very relaxed, and without waiting for everyone to finish their politeness, he said happily: "The Reichstag voted three times and passed three times!" Mr. President! ”

Eric thought he had misheard and looked at Ludendorff again, who smiled and nodded, indicating that he had heard correctly.

Eric said happily: "Are these capitalists enlightened? ”

Hahahaha –

Suddenly, the whole office looked at Eric and laughed, and Eric suddenly asked with some embarrassment, "What's wrong?" Isn't that right? Isn't it strange that these capitalists actually approved the proposal? ”

Everyone laughed again, until Eric was furious, and his friend Yarma laughed breathlessly and said, "My boss of Eric's Group, don't forget that you were also a 'evil' capitalist. Hahahaha??????"

Eric then reacted to why everyone was laughing like this, but when he heard the good news, he swept away the gloom and waved his hand without care, and when everyone congratulated each other, Eric changed into a cherished expression and looked at everyone and said: "Since the Congress has passed, I hope everyone will not live up to this opportunity, this is a battle against the water, and we can only win, not lose!" Then he looked at Brauchitsch again and said: "Send a telegram to Max and tell him the news, let him decide what is going on at the front, and let him decide whether or not the Paris operation will continue to the end, let him decide for himself, I don't want to be bothered by this matter anymore." Eric walked out the door again and told Anta to keep an eye on the media, and he had a hunch that the passage of the proposal to continue the battle in Congress would surprise everyone.

There was no sadness in the office, everyone was chatting about some interesting topics, and Eric invited Ludendorff to take a walk in the garden behind the Hanseatic Palace, and when the two walked to the edge of the River Spree, Eric said: "Thank you, marshal, the Germans should be grateful for your efforts." ”

Ludendorff glanced at Eric and then looked at the somewhat bleak street in the distance and said, "Let's end it quickly, it's been too long." ”

Eric nodded heavily and said, "It's been too long, it's time to end!" ”
