Chapter 386: Golden Combination (1)

In these days when Eric was on the move, Max had to deal with many thorny international issues every day before dragging his tired body home. As the chief counsellor, he can only do the work of wiping the president's ass in obscurity, and there can be no mistakes.

His wife couldn't bear to let him work so hard, and persuaded him many times to retire bravely and depose when the president was happy. But Max never thought about it, and always used various reasons to convince his wife.

"Now more than ever, Eric needs to be reminded that I am in the prime of life, and I can quit if I can say goodbye." Max put down his handbag and sat down on the couch.

"Poor Max, I can see as a woman that the president doesn't need someone who is always holding him back, you know." Max's wife is also a beautiful woman, and although she never gets involved in politics, she has an extremely keen sense of observation.

"Yes, my dear, you are not wrong, and it is because of this that I cannot walk away from him right away." Max's loyalty left his wife speechless.

"Alright dear, but I have to warn you that our president is a very assertive man, and he can't easily listen to anyone's opinions, unless he thinks you have a point." The wife admonished Max while tidying up the messy table.

"It's my duty to remind the president at all times that I'm going to pull out the chaos anyway, and as the chief counsel, I can't stay out of it." Max said with his hand on his forehead and squinting his eyes.

"Okay, dear, then you have to pay attention to the method, don't have a hard top with him." After his wife finished wiping the table, she asked someone to bring Max's handbag into the study.

"Put it down! You can't touch my stuff in the future, including you. Max suddenly jumped up from the couch and snatched his handbag.

The wife smiled, hinted at the people to stand down, and told Max to rest on the couch before calling him when the meal was ready.

In fact, in Max's mind, Eric was only discouraged by the mercenary businessmen, and he made such a decision as a last resort. However, things are not as simple as he imagined, and after the first one to get started with the Eric Group, he is out of control, and seems to want to exterminate those disobedient enterprises. Well, just do it, just do it, and the purpose of killing chickens and monkeys has been achieved. However, Eric seems to be unsatisfied, so he simply does not stop doing two things, and together with the foreign-funded enterprises, he has a spoonful of stew.

Replacing the Minister of Defense on the spot, Max did not raise any objections, and even thought that it was better to lose a loving general than to offend all businesses. Unexpectedly, Eric's combination punch treated all the enterprises in the country indiscriminately, and all of them turned upside down. Now, Max doesn't know how to help Eric and Foreign Minister Konstantin clean up this protest-packed diplomatic mess.

By the end of 1930, the global economic turmoil had intensified, and almost all Westerners felt the hardships of life. The unemployment rate in various countries has doubled, and individual business tycoons have no hesitation to jump off buildings because they have been in debt overnight, and in the face of strong pressure. At present, the countries of the European continent seem to be in a paradise, and the European Economic Union, which is composed of more than a dozen countries led by Germany, is still holding on to its calmness.

In fact, Eric did not fail to consider the seriousness of the problem when he made a heavy punch, because Germany is located in the hinterland of Europe and is also the bridgehead of the Eurasian economy.

Eric didn't do it completely, and after a reasonable punishment, he immediately stopped.

Nowadays, foreign companies in Germany can basically operate consciously and legally, and no one wants to mess with Mauerik, a businessman-turned-president, unless he is brain-dead. However, there are some brainless enterprises that can't swallow this breath and still seek justice from their own embassies and consulates everywhere.

The United States and the United Kingdom have been the hardest hit by the economic crisis, and they have been bitter about Germany's happiness index. For them, the peace of the world is tantamount to losing a great opportunity to profit from chaos. In particular, when Eric carried out an indiscriminate rectification of enterprises across the country, the two countries took the opportunity to reverse black and white, confuse the public, and even smear in every way.

With common preferences, common goals and sentiments, the United States and Britain, who had been "killed" all over their bodies in the trade duel, tacitly aimed their guns at Germany. The envoys, foreign ministries and decision-makers of the two countries have issued notices demanding that Germany unconditionally withdraw the fines and sincerely apologize to companies from all over the world.

What do the UK and the US want to do at this moment? Is it with the mud or with the trouble? Eric knew that the mentality of Britain and the United States had been distorted, and they had never seen anyone better off than him, so he took the opportunity to act as the boss and make the whole world grateful to them.

Protests or warnings, Germany will not give in at one time or another. Foreign Minister Konstantin warned at a news conference: If Britain and the United States want to continue to maintain good relations with Germany, they must keep their mouths shut; otherwise, once this kind of hypocrisy is exposed by the whole world, it will not be anyone else who will be embarrassed, but Britain and the United States themselves.

In the Hanseatic Palace, Eric sits in the presidential office, and the living room not far from it has been divided into two areas, one for the living room and the other for foreign guests or petitioners. However, today's waiting area is not necessarily crowded, but one is invited to leave, even if the British and American ambassadors to Berlin are personally present.

At this time, there were only two people in the president's office, Eric and Max.

At first, the quarrel between the two was not fierce, but it seemed very antagonistic and competitive.

"Alright, my Excellency, Chief Counsellor. You don't have to be used as a gun by those people anymore, their purpose is not to get those fines, but to get the 'handle' of Germany's so-called suppression of business enterprises, and once we succumb to this, the charges will be confirmed. You are an honest person, you will not take the problem apart and look at it, if you don't believe it, it will be clear in the future. Eric patiently did Max's work, hoping that he would see the essence of Britain, the United States, and other countries.

"Mr. President, I don't want to politicise the issue, and the British don't tempt the matter politically, so why can't we just give in as we see fit? In fact, companies from all over the world have also made a great contribution to Germany's economic development, haven't they? Max still stuck to his ideas.

"Germany has never erased their credit, the bridge to the bridge, the road to the road, we can make economic concessions and policy support, but it does not mean that we must sacrifice principles. Any business that operates legally in Germany is protected by German law. As for the companies you just mentioned, they obviously belong to the government, and there are still many problems in them, but they just take care of your face with the countries concerned, and they are not brought to the table to talk, otherwise, this is a-for-tat political issue! Eric was very angry when he said this.

"As a president, you only want to be happy for a while, but you ignore the country's diplomatic image, which is clearly a personal paranoia! If this continues, Germany will lose all its friends! I'm very sorry, but I'm now considering whether it is necessary to continue as Chief Counsellor. Max's voice began to grow.

"I know very well what I'm doing, but it's a pity that you don't know who you are, you don't know right from wrong, and you always speak to me in the voice of an elder, and it's hard for me to adapt! Also, from now on, you should leave the affairs of Britain and the United States alone, lest you fall for them and remain in the dark. Eric did not want to be coerced and immediately returned the color.

"Thank you very much for your advice, I don't want to care about this thing for a long time, but there is one thing I have to say, as president, you have to be mature!" Max is also opposed to coercion, and refuses to give in to a single step.

The noise between the two made Aynata not know what to do, and the other staff members also stopped what they were doing and listened with their ears sideways.

Aynata thought about it and prepared to enter the president's office with a cup of tea, prompting the two sides to ease their quarrel. However, before a glass of boiling water could be filled, Eric was heard let out a series of angry roars.

"Get out! Get lost! Get lost! ……”

Immediately afterwards, I saw Max with an angry face, slammed the door and went straight to the gate angrily with his handbag, and left the presidential palace without looking back.
