The statement of the President of the German Federal Government and the rapid movement of troops undoubtedly showed the outside world their hardline attitude towards the Lorraine incident, and also made the United States and Britain very keenly smell the smell of gunpowder released on the European continent. In contrast to its previous indifference, the United States is clearly anxious.

In response to Germany's move to increase troops west of the Rhine, France took four steps: first, it used the influence of the signatories of the "peace treaty" to create public opinion pressure on Germany; The second is to urgently mobilize the United States and Britain to use diplomatic means to mediate and try to counterbalance the dangerous move of Germany to increase troops on the west bank of the Rhine; the third is to quell the civil unrest and send a special envoy to resolve the Lorraine dispute peacefully; The fourth is by the veteran Ferdinand? The national army under Marshal Foch was ready to respond to changes in the situation on the border;

When the "Berlin Peace Treaty" was signed, the reason why President Eric agreed to the harsh conditions of the old French Prime Minister Clemenceau, and even the humiliating and unequal treaty, was because he had long considered that this imbalance would be broken in the future, and Germany could use any opportunity to fill this empty land in the future, however, it was not too long, and Eric deployed his troops in place under the pretext that "the Lorraine incident was not accidental". Many of the terms of the "peace treaty" were completely upset in Lorraine, and two of the most fatal. Although the actions of the French radicals gave the domestic people a little bit of speed, in fact, the gains outweighed the losses, and on the contrary, the terms of the "Berlin Contract" that they had worked so hard to win were lost one by one, which made the French high-level hateful to the roots, and the result could only be broken teeth and blood swallowed.

After President Eric showed his military toughness, he deliberately cried out to the United States and Britain for grievances, and frequently showed weakness, and even planned to ask the Soviet Union to intervene between Germany and France when the United States and Britain were beyond their reach and considered the interests of France and did not care about the life and death of the German Confederation, so as to save the crisis of the lack of German military strength.

While Miller was acting as the president's mouthpiece in the United States, Eric immediately sent Likhnowski to visit the United Kingdom as the president's chief of staff and special envoy to the president.

US President Wilson could no longer sit still, he knew very well that when the "peace treaty" was signed, although the German army had several group armies, its weapons and equipment were old and backward, and some of them had even become ornaments, and if it was true that German Foreign Minister Miller had said, once Germany and France had another dispute, Germany would certainly not be able to survive the time for reinforcements from the United States and Britain, and at that time, it would really be possible for Germany to completely fall to the red Soviet Union. It's something that is unmistakable. Plus the current President of Germany, Erik? Adrian is a man of his word, a man who has never played his cards according to common sense, and in this case, anything can be done.

Shortly after the U.S. presidential envoy arrived in London, Eric ? Adrian's presidential envoy, Likhnowski, also arrived later in the day. In the course of the talks, Likhnowski repeatedly reiterated Germany's impoverished economic state, and also talked about the cause of the Lorraine incident.

The special envoy of the President of the United States conveyed the attitude of the President and the United States Congress that they were temporarily powerless to deal with the many internationally embargoed materials, and sometimes they were too busy to take care of themselves, but they would certainly do everything in their power to obtain understanding for the construction of the German economy. At the same time, however, he made it clear that the United States was doing its best to help Germany, but Germany could not afford to fall into the Red Soviet Union, which was the most important point and non-negotiable.

Britain largely aligned with American interests, and at the same time made clear their position on the differences between France and Germany. Britain is happy to see a Germany with a strong military and a prosperous economy, and is willing to help Germany in the next step of economic construction, but it also clearly pointed out that when it was concerned about the interests of France and Germany, Britain never chose, but stood very firmly on Germany's side. In the next step, Britain will join hands with the United States to put pressure on France, forcing France to regain public opinion and abandon its hostility towards Germany. However, there are limits to this, and it is impossible for Britain and the United States to let France be infinitely aggrieved.

On the same day that France sent a special envoy to Lorraine for the mediation of the "Lorraine issue", the media revealed an investigation report from the German-French joint police department, which made the complex and complicated incident even more confusing.

The Lorraine affair once again caused an uproar.

During the day-to-night clashes, the Joint Police Department arrested several members of the militant group, and after rounds of isolated and joint interrogations, a witness testimony was found that was extremely unfavorable to France. In this riot, there are many people in charge of the current French government, and some of them even hold high positions. The nature of the riots has changed, and France will be at a loss for it.

The nature of the riots quickly changed from spontaneous to organized and premeditated acts of the Government, which created an insurmountable obstacle to France's international representation and put France in a very unfavorable and passive position of bargaining at the negotiating table.

In Germany, on the other hand, the government handled the incident in a low-key manner, while providing humanitarian support to French militant groups, immediately dispatching medical personnel, and providing medicine and food free of charge.

French Prime Minister Clemenceau immediately made a radio address to the whole country, stating that the French government was absolutely not involved in this matter, and would never be involved in this matter, and that this nationwide riot was a conspiracy directed by out-and-out anti-government forces, and that it had nothing to do with the current government. The current administration will attach great importance to it, resolutely investigate it thoroughly, and give an explanation to the international community.

Immediately after the broadcast speech, Clemenceau held a press conference in Paris attended by many European and Asian countries, and solemnly said: "Fellow journalists, I would like to clarify that Germany has indeed adopted the strategy of taking quotes out of context and covering the whole with partiality in fulfilling the 'Berlin Contract,' which is a very shameful act. In the implementation of bilateral relations, the German side has also made a big discount, not to mention that just yesterday, they openly and unilaterally tore up the terms of the peace talks led by the United States and pressed the army in the northeast of France. ”

Asked what he thought of the Lorraine affair, Clemenceau said: "The question of Lorraine's ownership is itself disputed, but what is it that Germany is encroaching on French land and mineral interests at a time when France is making major concessions?" This is perfidy! I think you can see it at a glance. It is human nature for our people to organize themselves to protest, but we feel very helpless that the Germans have labeled us as acting as a government, and we hope that the international community will properly restrain Germany's stupid practices. ”……

Clemenceau's speech and press conference saved a little face for France, and also won the support of some African countries, but it was not recognized by Britain and the United States.

There were many voices in Paris, France, and some people even dared to speculate that the riot was fueled by the government departments, and the people who did not know the truth just went with the flow. Just when France was mired in diplomatic passivity, the so-called insider "insiders" also began to break some fierce news behind the scenes, and named and named the members of the government to carry out the process of collusion and other processes...... The list goes on. Once the gossip spread, it spread unchecked, and soon these specious news caused great repercussions in all walks of life in France. Major media began to hype, "Who is behind the Lorraine incident?" "Who's lying", "Politics is not a toy" and other eye-catching headlines dominate the front pages of newspapers large and small. The French government put people out to put out the fires, but in the end, the population became more and more disgusted and regarded as quibble.

On August 4, after two days in Solingen, President Eric rushed to the Fokker aircraft assembly plant in Schwerin, and in his mind the Lorraine crisis had already been turned.

This kind of contrasting political show stunned the leaders of Britain, the United States, and France. While the major newspapers and magazines in France are chasing after the wind and vividly denouncing the top level of the government, the major newspapers in Germany are positively promoting their President Eric? Adrian. In the days when the Lorraine incident turned into clouds and rain, Mr. President did not deliberately get to the bottom of the matter, nor did he discuss who was right and who was wrong, but continued to work for the national economy and people's livelihood in a down-to-earth manner...... This propaganda greatly weakened the negative impact of the German government after the outbreak of the Lorraine crisis, and instead led to the praise of President Eric's leadership style with high restraint in the situation.

Eric? Adrian suddenly became an anti-war activist and a model of peace.

If the Lorraine crisis is not resolved in time, it will eventually be like a wild horse that will be out of control. In order to calm down the situation as soon as possible, the two countries began to join hands with the international community to put pressure on France, demanding that France withdraw the troublemakers within a time limit, and took the initiative to return justice to the international community and give an explanation to the German Confederation.

Eric? Adrian rarely reacted to the "Lorraine affair", and he always presented himself as a steady, magnanimous political leader, acting without haste or surprise.

Chancellor Stresemann was entrusted with full powers to deal with the "Lorraine affair" concerning the issue of German sovereignty, and at this moment, only the chancellor is most appropriate, first of all, to be able to express his position and make decisions on behalf of Germany; secondly, Strasemann's wise style and ability; Because Adrian, as president of the nation, he had to stand behind these people and not rush to the front line recklessly.

Everyone knows that the dispute between the two countries, which is led by the United States and coordinated by the United Kingdom, will inevitably have a conclusion, and no matter who this conclusion is unfavorable, both sides must sign it, otherwise it will be the target of joint suppression by Britain and the United States. President Erik's involvement of Chancellor Stresemann has largely left Germany with room for manoeuvre, at least in the event of an impasse in the chancellor's negotiations. This is the role of politics, if it is used well, it will be invincible, and if it is used wrongly, there is still room for correction.

The German Confederation was not yet in any position to make enemies with France, but it was not at the mercy of others. Miller's diplomatic efforts are still underway in the United States, and without American assistance, the likelihood of a desirable trade pact would be greatly diminished, so it is necessary to align with American ideology, at least for a longer period of time. Or even in Earhart? It was also best not to offend the British until a trade treaty between Milch and Siam was concluded. This was President Eric's request to Prime Minister Stresemann before he went to Lorraine for negotiations.

Subsequently, President Eric, accompanied by Fokker, visited the aircraft assembly workshop, and the accompanying team of experts also began to communicate with the factory supervisors, designers, chief engineers and others, and discussed the feasibility of further expanding production capacity. President Eric hopes that they can come up with a feasible plan to start construction as soon as possible, and more workers can get employment opportunities, he does not want to wait until the country's economy recovers and then find skilled workers, even if the country needs to buy the products of military enterprises at a high price, it cannot be cut off because the price is too expensive. The best way is to sell, firmly grasp the advantages of technology and price, and take advantage of Germany's consistent after-sales praise to open up the arms sales market of New Germany.
