The worst case scenario finally came, at the beginning, Max begged Eric to put up with the world situation for the time being, however, Eric still chose a hard-nosed countermeasure, and the contradictions between the countries further intensified and heated up.

Although the relationship between Britain, the United States, and France in the iron triangle diverged as scheduled, Germany also fell into greater passivity again.

At the beginning, he so firmly rejected Max's moderate proposal, and now, Eric may regret it from the bottom of his heart, but, as president of the Federation, he will not admit mistakes, nor do he think about admitting mistakes, and he does not want to mark the political stain of his presidency that will be humiliating for the rest of his life.

Such a large-scale military operation by the Soviet Union on the Soviet-German border directly led to a plummeting of Soviet-German relations. Although the origin of these problems is related to Germany's arms expansion war, the Soviets' ambition to stand alone in the world is well known to the world. In addition to admitting planting, Eric is also brewing new countermeasures, and he firmly believes that one of them, those who come out to mix will always have to pay back.

At present, Germany's priority is to pacify the reactive eastern states, which are mostly predominantly traditionally Polish, but live in peace in Germany's political environment. They believed that the Poles, who were now under Soviet control, were being ravaged by alien races, and that what happened to them seemed to the Poles in Germany to be a disgrace and a completely intolerable slap in the face.

When Hans Luther learned of this, he immediately proposed to the Presidential Office that the Ministry of Defense activate the national emergency security mechanism to quickly calm and disperse the protesters at the border, avoid bloodshed, and resume production and construction in time. After receiving the proposal, Eric also realized the seriousness of the problem, and quickly telegraphed Rundstedt to instruct the 1st Army stationed on the eastern border to control the situation and try to avoid the outbreak of local armed conflict.

Now, the whole world is like a powder keg that is lit at the slightest point, and Europe is an extremely sensitive region, and if the border between Germany and the Soviet Union gets out of control and even begins to tear it head-on, then a situation similar to the First World War will be repeated. Needless to say, including Eric, the top leaders of Britain, the United States, France, and the Soviet Union would not doubt this statement.

Eric, who bypassed the national treasury and was still anxious to raise money to expand the army, did not want to give up his efforts, let alone fight an all-out war that was uncertain, for Germany, the armed forces were the key to life and death. Victory, countries have something to say. If defeated, Germany will never be able to turn over, and he himself will be saddled with generational infamy.

There is a concept that will never change in Eric's thinking, he always believes that the strength of the country is the powerful guarantee of economic development, and the weak can only be regarded as fish to be slaughtered, and flattering the outside is a manifestation of the weakness.

At the Hanseasa Palace, Eric and Grener were discussing a plan to deal with it, when suddenly Baron Magnus von Braun burst into the president's office in a rage.

The Minister of Agriculture, who had been promoted by Eric in his early years at the expense of Stresemann, seemed to be a bad person, and he bypassed Chancellor Hans Luther and Annata, chief of the President's Office, and went straight to Eric, as if he did not want to talk properly.

Braun neither observed, nor deliberately left room for himself, rushed into his office and rebuked President Grener.

Eric was in a bad mood, and when he was so troubled by Braun, he suddenly felt like he was going berserk, if it weren't for his wife Sylna's words still ringing in his ears, he was afraid that he would have slapped Braun directly.

"Dear Mr. President, since Grener arrived at the Hanseatic Palace, there has not been a day of calm in Germany, don't you think that this man is bringing disaster to the country and the people?" Braun, who was outspoken and loud, did not care about the feelings of the person concerned, Grener, and began to ask the teacher for his guilt.

Immediately afterward, Ananta followed in, and while persuading her, she kindly pulled Braun outside. Braun, however, seemed to have let himself out, and with a wave of his hand, he nearly knocked Ananta to the ground.

"Mr. Braun, I still have important state affairs to deal with, as Minister of Agriculture, you should first report to Chancellor Hans Luther on official matters." Eric didn't even bother to add the title of baron, his attitude was extremely bad, and he had the intention of driving him out directly.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. President, but I just want to ask Your Excellency the Chief of Staff in your presence what he wants to do and how he does his duty! Why make enemies around Germany! Do you want 100 million Germans to live in peace? Braun had no intention of leaving, and criticized Grener by name.

This kind of subordinate confrontation with superior has not happened in Germany, such as Max, Hindenburg, Ludendorff, Schacht, and Hoffmann, but no one really wants to make each other unhappy. However, Braun's words were rude and rebellious, much to Erik's disgust.

Braun, however, completely disregarded his own image, and continued to lash out at Grener in anger for the sake of the common good.

Today's Germans are beginning to miss Max, and during his years of assisting Eric, Germany's domestic and foreign affairs can be called like a fish in water, and the country's development is also in order. Eric and Max's collaboration is also known as a golden pairing. It's a pity that after only one political disagreement, the two parted ways.

When people get used to a certain way of life, but the slightest change makes them uncomfortable, Max is like a delicious meal that is knocked over before it can be fully eaten in the mouth, catching people off guard and frustrated.

Once there was a political disagreement, the two completely fell out, but in fact, Eric deeply understood what it means to be like-minded. In daily life, the difference of opinion between two people may be just a trivial matter, but for the major issues of right and wrong in the direction of the country's development, there is no room for the slightest deviation from morality, otherwise it will become a great obstacle on the way forward of the country.

As president of a federal state, Eric needs to rally a group of talented people who share the same ambitions. Only when everyone is like-minded and far-sighted can the country be strong and the people be peaceful.

Near Zhu is red, close to ink is black, what kind of civilian and military generals are around Eric, what kind of leader he is.

In a sense, Braun's offense reflects a part of the mainstream public opinion, and Eric tries to calm himself down, waving his hand at Anata, who keeps pulling Braun, with the intention of simply letting "this madman" sit down and continue, just in time to get a sense of what the opposition crowd in the country really thinks.

After getting Eric's acquiescence, Braun seemed to be more justified, and then ridiculed and rebuked Grener.

Fearing that Grener would not be able to endure such humiliation, Eric kept quietly making eye contact with him in order to comfort him at the right time, meaning not to be like "this madman", and let him talk nonsense on his own and walk away.

However, Braun also seems to be a man who does not know how to advance and retreat, loudly accusing Grener of misleading the president and leading Germany into the abyss of war, and blames Eric for not being able to make good use of people, which makes Eric's face red and white for a while.

"Director Anata, please make a good cup of tea for Your Excellency the Minister, oh, of course, Your Excellency Chief Mu and I also need to moisten our throats very much." Eric controlled his temper and tried to ease the awkward situation as much as possible.

At this moment, Hans Luther, who knew about the situation, also hurried to the presidential palace. Seeing that Braun was still talking about Grener, he hurriedly covered it up. On the contrary, Eric's temper never flares up, and Grener retains restraint from start to finish.

"Your Excellency, can you please say a word about it?" Hans leaned forward to express his strong desire to speak.

Braun began to say so much in one breath from the time he came to the presidential palace, and his heart felt much happier, seeing that Eric had not said a word, and Grener had not returned the favor, and the prime minister was about to give his opinion, he finally closed his mouth.

"Dear Mr. President, I would like to formally apologize to you, and in the past, I have had the same erroneous idea as Baron Braun and repeatedly expressed opposition to your plans to expand the army. However, we have all overlooked an important issue, that is, a weak country has no diplomacy, and if it is backward, it will be beaten......" Hans's speech surprised Eric very much, and Braun, who was sitting on the side, also seemed to have received a heavy slap in the face, and his face was a little unbearable.

Eric felt a little comforted and relieved.

Hans turned around and properly praised Grener, especially when he was personally attacked by Braun, and his restraint was admirable, which made Grener's oily face suddenly have some pink.

Braun is like sitting on pins and needles, he can't walk, he can't stay, he is very uncomfortable. Eric watched it quietly, angry and funny in his heart, but he didn't say a word from beginning to end. Next, Greiner's generosity impressed everyone, and he described Braun's temper tantrum as bold, and his abuse and humiliation of himself as impartiality, which made Braun feel ashamed for a moment......
