The National Chamber of Hansa Felter Palace now has a new nickname, dubbed Eric's secret code "One", and is nicknamed "Hall One". Outside the Hanseatic Palace, several staff members were talking about what had just happened in the conference hall.

"It's incredible, is what you say true?" A woman with long red hair was in the back garden of the presidential palace listening with relish to the other sisters' descriptions of what they had seen and heard in the "No. 1" chamber.

"Of course it's true, even now, the cabinet members are still arguing unrelentingly." One of the sisters said there was no lie.

"It's so much fun, I'd really like to see how the bad old men in the cabinet quarrel, it's just too hard for our handsome president." The red-haired woman thought it was incredible.

"Do you want to cherish the heroes of the beauty? Don't dream about it, my sweetheart, even if the German woman is almost dead, Mr. President won't give you a second look. However, the president is a soldier and a famous general in World War I, so he will definitely be able to withstand this matter. Another staff member immediately rejected. However, she knows a lot about Eric's personal experience, especially the president's "second enlistment".

"Next year's military spending will triple on the basis of this year! That's a little more than one-third of the country's gross national product last year, which is not a small amount. Several female staff members whispered and discussed.

Suddenly, a girl spotted the old Hingdembo and Eric who were returning to the council hall from the hall, and quickly made an exaggerated "danger" gesture to everyone, which scared everyone into running away like a gust of wind.

Paul von Hindenburg, who had already made up his mind in his mind, seemed much more relaxed, and walked very calmly ahead of Eric, and the two returned to the noisy meeting hall one after the other.

By this time, Stresemann and Brauchitsch had returned to the area, and a new list of defense budgets had been drawn up, as Eric intended.

In fact, Yarma and Stresemann voted against, but both were embarrassed to stand up against it because of their personal relationship with the president, and they did not want to vote in favor.

Everyone saw Hindenburg enter the council hall in a grand manner, and began to discuss, thinking that the two might have reached some kind of compromise, but they did not know who had compromised with whom.

Chancellor Stresemann is hoping that the elder Hindenburg will be able to convince the high-flying Eric to at least let him not speak so loudly.

Hindenburg walked to the main seat of the council hall as if no one was around, and Eric stood next to him, both of them holding their heads high and their demeanor calm, giving him the feeling of being superior.

Stresemann seemed to feel bad, and only Yarmar admired Eric's skills more, and the young president made every major decision that was impressive and unswearing.

It seems that the increase in military spending beyond the limit will leave people with nothing to say, not to mention that Vice President Paul von Hindenburg is leading the way.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Hindenburg lifted his cane and stomped the ground a few times. "The decision that Mr. President has just made, I have heard it as clearly as you do."

The scene returned to calm, and everyone stared at what old Hindenburg had to say.

"Unfortunately, I don't think the vast majority of us came to this meeting with brains, so please forgive me for being rude. These people only think about their own interests and do not think about the future of the German Confederation as a whole, which raises great doubts about his ability to govern the country. "Every word of Hindenburg is like a bombshell, making people feel torn and shattered.

"Is Germany's current good living environment, high gross national product, and amazing scientific and technological achievements due to Mr. President? And you have such a bright future, which one is not closely related to President Eric Adrian? In the vast sea of people, pull you out of it and let you stand up like a person, is it just to let everyone specifically go against him!? If you are not in your position, you don't have the ability to do it, and you don't have that ability if you want to do it, but now you have such a ability, but you use your lower body to think about problems, which is disappointing! It's chilling! The old Hindenburg still spoke with a sense of vigour, leaving those present to shame.

The German Confederation, both military and political, was the backbone of the Hannover Federal Party, and Eric promoted some of them to important state positions. There are quite a few backbones in Hall 1 right now, and that's how Stresemann's Chancellor's Cabinet was set up.

"Yes, the Federal Republic of Germany has changed dramatically in the past few years, and you all contribute a lot." Hindenburg immediately praised several people, such as Gelers, Schedmann, Max, Schacht, Luther, etc.

"However, building merit is not your capital to be proud of! It should be the driving force for you to forge ahead! "Hindenburg raised his voice again" You tell me, on whose basis is the German Confederation what it has achieved in recent years? Who supports your achievements? If anyone dares to say that it has nothing to do with President Eric Adrian, please stand up. No, no, it means that our president is wise! It's wise! Of course, if you can be far-sighted and selfless, I, Hindenburg, will also stand up for him! ”

Hindenburg is now indeed complaining about Eric, and everyone is happy. But in the face of interests, he began to hesitate, and even lost his mind, and Hindenburg was very angry about this.

"Our President Eric Adrian is not a freewheeling president, nor is he a president who goes with the flow. Will he make a decision for no reason? Hindenburg said this, and poked his cane into the ground so hard that he startled everyone present. The retired titan in front of him still does not lose his majesty after entering the political arena.

"When it comes to money, you keep yelling! "But do any of you know the deeper reasons behind this decision, Mr. President?" said Hindenburg in a disdainful tone. Can any of you tell how many companies are going overseas and how many need to be re-energized? How many companies need government support? What is the money used for? Is it used to press the vault? Hindenburg's series of rhetorical questions made it impossible for everyone to answer, and the No. 1 conference hall was silent.

Old Hindenburg didn't feel tired, but felt like he was back in the day.

"Mr. President's decision, I have passed the in-depth understanding, and I agree with the proposal to increase military spending beyond the limit! And unreservedly support the president! Hindenburg said very decisively. Although Eric's answer in the president's backyard is relatively general, it does not prevent Hindenburg from trusting Eric's character, a person who dares to make decisions with his wealth cannot be joking and hot-headed, not to mention how shrewd Eric is, he will definitely not make such a shocking decision for no reason.

After Hindenburg finished speaking, he pulled out his seat and motioned for Eric to sit down, a move that surprised everyone.

Eric insisted on standing, and Hindenburg did not object.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as the old marshal said, the future of Germany depends on the concerted efforts of all of us, and the government's decision to reduce the army and increase the military budget in excess of the limit will surely be understood in the future." Eric said, glancing at Armar and Luther.

The two of them were stunned for a moment when they received Eric's sharp gaze, and then, as if they understood something, they closed their eyes and looked up and exhaled.

Armar's mouth muttered, "Damn it, God, how did I forget! ”

Luther reacted almost at the same time.

"The Ministry of Finance supports Mr. President's proposal." Yarma was quick to respond to Eric.

"The Ministry of the Interior strongly supports the proposal of Mr. President." Luther's support was also decisive.

At this time, two of the seven cabinet departments have made their attitudes clear, and Minister Kluge of the Ministry of National Security will not oppose Eric, and he also hastened to state: "The Ministry of National Security also firmly supports Mr. President's proposal." ”

Brauchitsch was pleased to see that the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of the Interior, and the National Security had all taken a stand, and he wanted to stand up and react immediately, but reason restrained him. What are you kidding, the Ministry of Defense is the beneficiary of this proposal, and the positive performance at this time will only make the other departments feel arrogant.

At this moment, in accordance with the federal legal process, this proposal has obviously passed, leaving the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Transportation, and the Ministry of Food, which have not yet voted. What Eric wants is not for the minority to obey the majority, but for unanimous passing, so that the implementation will be stronger and more powerful.

William Marks was a chubby Jewish-German who wore a pair of gold-rimmed reading glasses, and appeared calm and calculating. Seeing that the previous three departments had already expressed their positions, I was a little breathless. He lifted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked, in the style of an old judicial officer: "Your Excellency, before voting, may I ask what prompted you to make such a momentous decision?" ”

"Antitrust." Eric said with a smile and a relaxed smile.

The scene suddenly boiled, as if Eric had just said that he would triple the military spending on the original basis, which stunned everyone. The cabinet members at the venue were once again stunned by Eric's words, and secretly said that today is really exciting!

"Antitrust!?" Max was originally sitting, but he suddenly pushed open the solid wood table and chair with his legs, and exclaimed loudly, because this is really incredible!

Not only Max, but everyone present had a big question, why?

The Eric Group is not only the largest enterprise in the German Confederation at present, but also the world's first-class enterprise.

In terms of the development of mineral deposits in Germany alone, Eric's mining industry monopolizes more than half of the country's share, not to mention the energy conversion business to make up for the lack of import share, which is basically run by the Eric Group. The same is true for other civilian products, and the goods produced by the Eric Group are almost synonymous with Germany.

Antitrust is against himself!

As Minister of Justice, can Max not be shocked?
