Fritz Haber, director of the National Energy Research Center, was finally able to secure a research grant in the midst of controversial discussions, freeing up Adrian's hands to tackle the raw materials needed for other projects in the country.

Rubber, a resource that quickly became popular in the world after World War I, was not fully unveiled before that because people's understanding of it was not so mature. Since the beginning of World War I, large-scale machinery, tanks, automobiles, etc., have begun to generate great demand, and almost overnight, this natural resource, which people have never paid serious attention to, has quickly become a scarce substance. All over the world are rushing to buy and reserve a large number of rubber raw materials, including some backward countries, because all kinds of civilian, military and large-scale constructive equipment are very much in demand. Germany now has to import this resource without two major exporters, Belgium and the United Kingdom. Both of these rubber originates in the colonies of Southeast Asia, and the Peace Treaty stipulates that Germany can cooperate freely with all countries, and there is no ban on rubber imports, but it is very difficult to obtain a suitable price.

The CIA's embedded staff abroad and the messages sent back to Berlin by embassies and consulates abroad in real time, referring to the distribution of major producing regions around the world, Eric focused his keen eyes on Siam, a country that was not part of Belgium's sphere of influence and had relatively little British influence.

For Siam, which is located in Southeast Asia, everyone in the German high-level and business circles knows about it, but there is generally little trust in this country, because this country joined the Entente camp in the late World War I, although it did not send a single soldier into Europe to fight, but the large-scale capture of Germans in their own country still makes many Germans in Siam still have lingering fears.

The people who don't trust Siam are mainly business owners who have traveled to Southeast Asia and have invested financially, but also some German tourists, and the country's top brass knows about the situation mainly through the CIA's undercover agents and embassies and consulates.

After the end of World War I, with the signing of the Berlin Peace Treaty, Siam also sent a delegation to visit Germany, and Chancellor Stresemann took time out of his busy schedule to receive the Siamese delegation. In addition to state exchanges, the Siamese representative also gave a special explanation on the detention of German Siamese personnel, and the situation he described was very different from what the German side had in his possession. The representative of the Siamese side stated that at that time, in order to effectively protect the safety of the personnel and property of the German Federal Brigade in Siam, he had no choice but to take this decision and disarm the ships of your country entering the port of Siam.

Stresemann mumbled a few times without smiling, without comment, but still patiently listened to the explanation of the Siamese delegates.

At that time, Stresemann was troubled by the territorial dispute between Germany and France, and the reception of the Siamese delegates had to be transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The morning work was busy and dizzy, and Stresemann just wanted to calm down and sort out the confusion, when President Eric's phone called: "You have worked hard Chancellor Stresemann, based on your familiarity with the country's talent pool and your own loyalty to the German Confederation, the country now needs to send a smart and capable expert who understands the customs and customs of Siam to Siam to handle the energy crisis relief work and open up business and trade between the two countries. Please reply immediately."

As soon as Stresemann heard that the state was going to send an envoy to Siam on an errand, he was very unhappy, and the trade envoy between the two countries was easy to choose, but the sound of Siam made him feel unhappy. Eric was repeatedly urged on the phone, but Stresemann was always vague, which made Eric, who was used to doing things in a hurry, very unhappy: "Listen to Prime Minister Stresemann, I once again emphasize the importance of sending a special envoy this time, because if Germany wants to import enough rubber resources, it can't bypass this country, we only do business, we can solve the problem of domestic resource shortage, everything is good for the country and the people, why not." ”

In the end, Stresemann reluctantly gave in.

Earhart Milch, 30 years old, was a young and shrewd and capable former German officer in Asia, and later his main work was to deal with the German colonial problem in Asia, and he had contacts and acquaintances with Siam's top management and business circles. Eric, delighted, instructed his aide Ananta to bring Earhart to the information provided by Prime Minister Stresemann, and that he should meet him at the Hansafelt Palace as soon as possible.

The next morning, Earhart, who did not dare to slack off, rushed all the way from Kiel to Berlin. Earhart, who had not slept all night and had a haggard face, was about to take his family on a boat to Norway to join relatives and friends, and was shocked to learn that the president of the German Federal Republic was looking for him everywhere with great fanfare. As an opposition to the Federalists, Earhart Milch was a member of the fallen Social Democratic Party and had taken an active part in the fight against Eric's unification of the German Confederation. With Albert's ouster, he also returned to his hometown and lived a semi-secluded life in fear. To say that he was nervous, it was understandable, because he thought that the president had misunderstood this trip abroad.

Returning to the Hansafelt Palace from the president's office, Adrian suddenly found that the house was deserted, his son Helis's toys were neatly cleaned, and the house was also cleaned, and he searched the house several times but did not find his son, and even Dinah did not know where he went. The servants didn't know what Mr. President was doing, and they didn't dare to ask casually, so they just pretended to do things wholeheartedly, ignoring the president's strange behavior.

Seeing Adrian's anxious appearance, the older male servant couldn't stand it anymore, put down the tools for pruning the branches and asked, "Dear master, are you looking for the lady and the young master?" ”

Adrian turned around and said, "Oh! Yes, where did they go"

The old servant said, "Madame thinks that the young master has affected the work of Mr. President, so she sent a car to send the young master to Marienburg this morning."

It turned out that this was the case, and Adrian's face was full of disappointment: "This crazy woman! It's a workaholic. Okay, you go busy. ”

When his son was sent to his grandfather, Adrian felt so unwell that he couldn't even stop eating lunch. At this moment, Ananta came in and whispered, "Your Excellency, Mr. Earhart Milch, whom you are looking for, has arrived, and have you decided to summon him now?" ”

Adrian patted the back of his head: "I almost forgot, yes Miss Annata, why not?" You can let him in now. ”
