In 1933, people all over the world seemed to be suffering from the "warmongering syndrome", civil wars, border frictions, everywhere.

The Spanish Civil War was still raging, and the civil war in China was gradually escalating. At a time when the future of the Indo-Pakistani War of Independence was uncertain, factional struggles were also fierce in the northern United States, and even small-scale armed uprisings broke out in the southwest.

Bad unrest was so widespread that even the economically developed Federal Republic of Germany, especially in the aggressive Slavic regions of the south, was always on the rise.

The constant killing of the people in various places made their lives miserable, and the anti-Soviet struggle in the former Poland and the skirmishes in other places can be ignored.

Ramsden receives some news about the French side every day, and no matter how busy he is, Eric will listen carefully to his briefing as soon as possible before visiting various places.

The problems left over from the war in northeastern France have been troubled by the supreme ruling authorities and have been questioned and criticized by the opposition parties due to their ineffective handling at the beginning.

Marseille is one of the more popular areas in the south of France, because of its proximity to the Mediterranean Sea, it is extremely vulnerable to the infiltration of radical forces at home and abroad. From the end of 1932 onwards, a force calling itself a Republican Party was growing rapidly and trying to push France on the path of communism, and the demand was so loud that it was a headache for the ruling authorities.

Paris, a place of drunkenness, has never been calm, and as the political, economic and cultural center of France, it has always been the place where the world pays the most attention. Although it has gone through the Great War, it is still beautiful, and it has always led the wave of the new era in France.

The strong rise of neighboring Germany has provided the French with many lessons to learn from, and the ruling authorities have been constantly looking for a way to develop themselves, but the people do not seem to buy it, and as the birthplace of advocating freedom and revolutionary courage, the Federalist Party in Paris has increased the number of parliamentary seats year by year in order to gain the right to speak.

And on the Iberian Peninsula in the southwestern corner of Europe, the Spanish civil war was manipulated by the great powers. Riots began to break out in the once-peaceful Portugal, with processions passing outside the Royal Gardens almost every day, complaining about the country's weak economy and the lack of welfare for the people.

If we calm down and dig deep into the root causes, the "good intentions" of Britain, France, the United States, Germany, the Soviet Union, and Italy will be very questionable, and the main reason why they are happy to "manage affairs" is that it is rare to find such an ideal place for arms dumping in times of economic crisis.

The national contradictions in Germany are also becoming more and more acute, and the complex Slavic ethnic areas have been in turmoil every year, which has almost dragged most of Hans Luther's energy, and has also become a long-term tax arrears area in Germany. The simple-minded, fierce locals are willing to solve problems by force at every turn, and it is not possible to arrest them, nor is they to arrest them, and the Minister of Justice, Theobarden von Holwig, is also feeling a great headache.

In the eastern region, the Soviet Union first stationed troops on the Soviet-Finnish border, but suddenly played a game and annexed Poland overnight. Soon after, the Soviet army began to move northward, forcing Finland to erect long stone walls in the hope of holding back the torrent of Soviet steel.

Finland's neighbor Sweden was also on the verge of a great enemy, and because of its disparity in strength, it had to put down its position and take the initiative to contact Foreign Minister Niu Wright to seek German protection.

Eric was on tour of the north, and when he heard about this, he did not hesitate at all, and readily agreed to Finland's request. The Ministry of Defense has made many analyses on this issue, saying that if Germany does not come forward, Switzerland may not be able to rely on the Soviet Union because of its insufficient strength, which will increase the pressure on the border. If Germany was willing to help Finland, it would have one more ally and one more strength.

Minister Niu Wright immediately relayed the good news to the Finnish side, and at the same time asked Finland to prepare for the war accordingly.

However, when the gourd was pressed, Germany's allies were also fighting each other over their own interests. It is not a matter of a day or two that Turkey has disagreed over the transit of Iraq's oil pipelines, but Germany has been busy with the surrounding war and has not had time to sort it out.

After Chancellor Hans Luther finished his Slavic visit, his ass was not hot when Eric's phone called. The two of them put it together, and felt that it was better to send a heavyweight to solve the Middle East troubles, otherwise, with Kemol's arrogant and stinky temper, no one would take it in his eyes.

"I've figured it out a little bit, and I still have to do this?" Hans blurted out.

"Nope! You have just come back, rest a little, I want to discuss with you, accompanied by Foreign Minister Konstantin, let the vice president go there in person, what do you think? Eric said.

"Yes, yes, but this vice president is old and has difficulty speaking, so I'm afraid he can't take responsibility." Hans said uneasily.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, rest assured, I didn't really let him do anything, his name is Konstantin to accompany him, in fact, it is just to let the vice president go to the town to the town, and it is Konstantin who really does things." Eric hastened to explain: "In the name of the vice president, Kemmel will definitely give the face he should give." ”

"Well, Konstantin has a clear mind, and with the posture of the vice president, he should be able to solve the problem very smoothly. It's just that Kemmel ......" Before Hans could finish his sentence, the phone on Eric's side had already hung up.

In the presidential palace, Ramsden did not appear as calm as usual.

"Dear Mr. President, it seems like bad news right now. Iraq is once again in a territorial dispute with Iran, and reconciliation is unlikely. However, it seems that we have to deal with Saudi Arabia and Egypt first, and the Sinai Peninsula has recently come close to war, and if it gets out of control, it will be fatal for our crude oil imports. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, but the French will take care of the affairs of North Africa for us." Eric was rather calm.

Westerners have a common problem, they shout democracy every day, but they always bully the weak with the strong and are unreasonable. Because of the hegemony of the French, the people of their North African colonies began to be dissatisfied and revolted, and the black brothers obviously felt that the gun was more effective than the other places that were looking for the suzerain...... In order to suppress the people's actions, France spent a huge amount of financial resources.

At a time when the European continent was full of wars and people, the British Isles seemed to be unwilling to be lonely. Ireland began an endless battle with 10 Chinatown over colonial issues, and at the same time, the Scots immediately stepped forward to echo each other. The contradictions throughout Europe have risen one after another, but Italy has been a little quieter.

Eric ignored this, and after listening to Ramsden's report, he began to continue to visit those well-known domestic companies.

In Asia, the pace of Japanese aggression was confined to the northeastern region of China. Because the hostile relationship with Germany would affect the channels for obtaining oil imports, the Japanese made a strategic readjustment.

On the southeast coast of China, Germany's "East Asian Naval Fleet" had a lineup that could not be underestimated, with one aircraft carrier, one battleship, two cruisers, six destroyers, and more than 20 other auxiliary ships.

Japan did not want to engage Germany directly, so it had to abandon the sea route and continue to use Korea as a springboard to advance slowly, for which the heavy transportation pressure cost the Japanese dearly. The land route was rugged, especially when it was separated by mountains and rivers, but the Japanese had already taken advantage of their wisdom in order to achieve the goal of annexing China.

The Chinese government knew very well that German protection was very effective, and Chang Kaishen immediately made a request that the German fleet patrol the coast and put further pressure on Japan, but Eric ignored this request.

The reason is very simple, you can help, but it has increased a lot of expenses, and Germany will face a lot of economic pressure, so Eric has to pull down his face and cool down Chang Kaishen's request, after all, the navy is a large amount of expenditure, and this money can't be paid by the German navy itself, even if he is willing, the people will not agree.

The world has been in chaos, but Eric has been single-mindedly meeting privately with companies all over the country, and in the eyes of outsiders, Eric has basically been inspecting the country for more than a year. In fact, he was dealing with people in the business world.

Entrepreneurs are keen on development, so they are also looking forward to the visit of the president of the country, in addition to putting gold on their faces, they can also get a lot of benefits.

Eric's visit made many entrepreneurs wish, but the mood also became heavy, and everyone was looking forward to good luck in Germany and a surprising good fortune for themselves in ten years.

The world is strange, transportation is developed, people are closer to each other, however, contradictions follow. Eric didn't want to sit back and wait for the times to change, he wanted to take the initiative and keep Germany at ease before the next war came.
