There seemed to be no end in sight to this marathon peace talks, and the representatives of various countries crowded into the conference room every day and quarreled endlessly, making everyone feel very depressed. Stresemann thought of a solution, and he said it to Adrian, who was very much in favor of it: "Great, dear Mr. Stresemann, needless to say, this is definitely a good idea, peace talks do not have to be in my Bellevue Palace, as long as they are in Berlin, markets, industrial mines, farms, they can visit at will, let them see directly the current living conditions of the Germans, well, that's it, you can go and implement it, dear Mr. Chancellor." ”

The spring sun shines warmly on Maryenburg, and the nearby mountains and rivers show a different kind of green scenery. Adrian's short-lived life at home made Dinah feel very aggrieved, she felt uninterested in anything, and she was listless all day long, son Halis? Eugene? Adrian also often remembers his father, and the elder Augustus III saw it in his eyes and knew that his daughter and grandson missed their relatives, so he quietly asked the servants to prepare some of Adrian's favorite souvenirs, and then encouraged his daughter to go to Berlin to have a look.

Dinah? Eugene? At first, he was opposed to his daughter's relationship with Adrian, believing that a Prussian man should have more lofty ideals and should stand up for the country, rather than being a philistine who seeks some petty profits all day long, but he couldn't resist his daughter's repeated insistence, so he was forced to reluctantly admit Adrian's position in the family. Unexpectedly, Adrian, who had already become a businessman, would make a comeback, and through hard work, he would sit on the first throne of the country. He thought about it now, if he had known this, it would have been better for Adrian to be a merchant forever, at least not to let his beloved daughter suffer from this endless lovesickness.

Berliners love to be clean, and although the war still leaves many traces that cannot be erased for the time being, and some facilities have not been fully restored, the streets and alleys are in order, and the people are very polite and modest, which gives a good impression. Although there was a depression everywhere, it did not affect the city's enthusiastic charm. U.S. President Wilson, British Prime Minister Lloyd? Georges, French Prime Minister Clemenceau and other delegates from other countries are walking slowly and happily through the clean and tidy streets of Berlin. For more than 10 days, accompanied by Stresemann and other officials of the German Foreign Office, they went to the countryside on the outskirts of Berlin, visited the factories and mines that were resuming work, and also learned about the markets in various regions of Berlin.

President Wilson said meaningfully to all who were present: "There can be no more war, I have heard from the people of the Foreign Office about the luxury of Berlin in the past, but now the scene is not as tempting as they say, and the great destroyer of war should be kept away." ”

French Prime Minister Clemenceau has been silent through these days of visits, and the sharpness of the-for-tat confrontation with other countries in the past has also been much more restrained.

British Prime Minister Lloyd's? George's mood was obviously different from that of others, and he was the biggest beneficiary of this peace talks, although he had always quarreled with French Prime Minister Clemenceau a few days ago, but through this unique trip, he had developed a lot of sympathy for the Germans, and even very ashamed.

The representatives of other countries also had their own opinions, but one reality was certain: the Germans were not having a good time either.

The long-distance bus station was more lively than other places, and the representatives of various countries came here unconsciously, but German Chancellor Stresemann and Foreign Minister Müller suddenly felt extremely embarrassed. George's eyes caught it at the same time.

There were a lot of people coming and going in the bus station, and the eyes of Chancellor Stresemann and Minister Miller were fixed on one place. A young woman was struggling to squeeze her way through the crowd with a young boy in her arms, she was obviously tired, but she had to take care of the burden she still had on her shoulders. The street is almost the same, and it is difficult to squeeze out the crowd, but I don't know which direction to take, and I am anxiously looking around. At this moment, she desperately needed someone to help her.

Wilson hurried over with small steps and helped her unload the great burden. The young woman was grateful, smiled guiltily at Wilson, and thanked her in German. Wilson couldn't understand what she was saying, but he guessed that it was a thank you gesture, so he smiled and waved his hand.

Stresemann and Miller were no longer embarrassed to remain silent, one stepped forward to pick up the child, and the other stepped forward to pick up the luggage...... And they began to talk passionately with the young woman.

Wilson was very strange and confused, and Strezemann hurriedly introduced the woman and said, "This is the famous President of the United States, Mr. Wilson." Then he turned to Wilson and said, "Your Excellency, this is Madame Dinah, the Leader of our German Confederation." ”

Both Wilson and Dinah hurriedly greeted each other politely.

The delegates from other countries were stunned at first, and later they all gave greeting gifts one by one.

The delegates could not have imagined that the wife of the President of Germany was crowding the buses with the paupers, and that there were no guards. In fact, how do they know that even if Adrian does not have the throne of the president, their former life is also pampered, just because the country is fighting every year, the country's financial resources are empty, and the price of goods is the same day by day, and it has flown into the sky. The price of power energy is even more expensive than gold, and in addition to the gasoline and diesel required by the state-coordinated cars and ships, even the machines of the Eric Group have stopped running.

As the war dragged on, inflation in Germany was also rising, and the Mark was like a piece of waste paper, which people couldn't help but love. Ordinary people can not afford to buy the corresponding rice and noodles with ready-made marks, and even the most basic living materials cannot be bought.

The peace talks extended from the conference room to the outskirts, especially in Britain and France.

U.S. President Wilson had no choice but to maneuver between Britain and France, busy playing a round: "Okay, stop arguing, we don't want a penny from the United States." But you two countries should also make some sacrifices and give some to other countries, so that other countries don't look down on you! ”

Clemenceau said helplessly: "Yes, but the border between France and Germany is bordered by the Rhine: in addition to the return of Alsace-Lorraine to France, the Saarland district of Germany will also belong to us!" "If France gets the Saarland, it means that he controls the most important military-industrial region in Europe and can dominate the continent in the future. Of course, Britain and the United States disagree. They quarreled from January to April, and neither of them would budge. Both Wilson and Clemenceau began to blackmail each other by withdrawing from the peace talks.
