Just when this faceless force was beating and arresting people, Adrian felt the same in his own manor, was he afraid? No, he wasn't scared at all, or fear couldn't describe how he was feeling at the moment. Sylna had called Adrian several times, but the latter did not respond as if he was lost in thought, and Sylna did not bother him again.

Adrian sat on the sofa in the living room and smoked cigarette after cigarette, what was he thinking? He planned this operation that alarmed the whole empire, and at first he did not know that such a practice would develop into such a situation, and everything that should have been done in secret was already semi-public at this time, but no one came forward to say that he was involved in this matter. Just as they were investigating those suspicious people one after another, Adrian entered their field of vision, but what made those people desperate was that Adrian was also implicated, and even Adrian's own manor was harassed by these people.

This is what Adrian didn't expect, those who came to interrogate him, he didn't know any of them, and the former's attitude towards him was also very bad, although this behavior helped him get rid of suspicion, but it also made him break out in a cold sweat, fortunately he is also a person who has seen wind and rain, otherwise he will really show his feet.

After sending these people away, Adrian wanted to send someone to ask what the situation was and why it had become like this, but he was afraid that exposing himself would even lead to trouble, so he had to give up. He sat on the couch and kept asking himself, is this the right thing to do? People and organizations that were originally just used to scout for information about their opponents in the business arena have become so rampant in just a few days after receiving enough financial support. As far as he knew, he had never participated in the special pass in the hands of these people, let alone such a thing, but after confirmation, he did not suspect that this card had been issued by a person who was about the same as him or even more powerful than him.

Is this force still its own? Can this force, which even frightens itself, really be able to control itself? What if you not only can't control it at that time, but also drags yourself into the water? Adrian was a little regretful and a little scared at the moment. He had no idea that such an organization could become so weird when it had enough financial support.

He didn't have the heart to eat lunch, he hurried back to the prince's palace, and there were not a few people who talked about it along the way, some were angry, some were afraid, and some seemed to have a clear conscience and didn't care.

Even a few councillors who met in the prince's palace were fighting for Adrian, saying a few fair words and leaving in a hurry. Just as Adrian was about to go upstairs, a guard came through the door and told him that the Emperor had invited him to the cruise ship. Adrian subconsciously asked, "Did you say what it was?" ”

The guard, who was Adrian's man, dutifully replied: "Prime Minister Holwig has been removed from his post and transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as Minister of Foreign Affairs, and George Michaelis, former head of the National Food Service and deputy secretary of state, has been instructed to form a new cabinet. Then the guard walked two more steps and said: "Moltke Chief of the General Staff has resigned and gone home to recuperate, Hindenburg General has taken over as the new Chief of the General Staff, and the Quartermaster General is Field Marshal Ludendorff, Commander-in-Chief of the Western Front, who has been appointed to rush back to Berlin at this time." Field Marshal Ludendorff was succeeded by General Max Hoffmann, who was still on the Eastern Front, but he had already been promoted to field marshal. ”

The guards told Adrian everything he knew in detail, and Adrian did not go upstairs after hearing this, but rushed to the cruise ship that had docked by car, and he was greeted by unfamiliar faces, obviously the original people were replaced, even the emperor's personal guards were replaced? While Adrian was wondering, Paul von Hindenburg came out, and when he saw Adrian coming, he said, "Your Majesty is waiting inside to ask you something, so go in quickly." These words were very easy-going, so Adrian couldn't help but think back to his first meeting with Hindenburg, and the little disgust for Hindenburg in his heart suddenly dissipated, and he couldn't help but sigh that he was really a strange person.

Adrian politely greeted Hindenburg before entering the cruise ship.

It was getting dark, Adrian dragged his body back to the manor tiredly, and told Sylna about the exchange with the emperor this afternoon, Sylna was surprised at first, and then said happily: "Didn't you expect the empire today?" I questioned you at the beginning. Then he obediently handed over a glass of water and said: "Now is better for your current situation, you get out as soon as possible, so as not to be buried with the emperor when the time comes, you have fulfilled the duties of an imperial soldier." ”

Why did Sylna comfort Adrian like this? This has to start with his conversation with the emperor. The newly appointed Hindenburg did not have no demands, but made demands on rights and personnel appointments, such as the transfer of some fronts and the division of powers in the rear. The emperor was also helpless, Moltke's sudden resignation seemed very abrupt, but in fact, it was the gradual elevation of Hindenburg that played a role, and Moltke felt that it was useless to continue, so he had to ask the emperor for his resignation, and recommended Hindenburg. The Emperor was not surprised that Moltke the Younger would recommend Hindenburg, and to be honest, he could not find a second person who could take on this task besides Hindenburg. He thought about Adrian, but he also knew that Adrian had no ability at all, and in the exchange with Hindenburg, the emperor also tried his best to back down, including the request to transfer Adrian from the General Office of Military Economy. Hindenburg wanted to completely transfer Adrian, a military member, from Berlin so that he could put some of his plans into reality. The Emperor did not bargain too much in this regard, and it was not for nothing that Hindenburg gave Adrian a place to go. It was only after the Emperor insisted on an interview with Adrian that he decided whether the latter would stay or not. As a result, Adrian did not disappoint Hindenburg, such as all the military operations and diplomatic strategies that Hindenburg wanted to implement, Adrian almost all opposed, and even said that if the emperor supported Hindenburg, he would resign.

Obviously, the Emperor gave up on Adrian after repeated trade-offs, and Hindenburg's resistance was greatly reduced. And the forces behind Adrian will also weaken a lot with Adrian's downfall, and some forces with him as the core will also be conservative or even acquiescing in Hindenburg's next actions.

On July 9, 1917, the news of Adrian's resignation spread throughout the empire, and the young marshal and the emperor Hongren were removed from their posts at home due to discord with the emperor, but only retained the title of marshal, and some people were happy and some were sad. Many people speculated whether Adrian's suppression this time was related to the new Chief of the General Staff, Paul von Hindenburg, and some came forward to clarify that Adrian was not at odds with Paul von Hindenburg, the Chief of the General Staff, but that Adrian was removed from his post because he no longer liked the emperor.

No matter what outsiders say about Eric Adrian, the latter is no longer heard, he is first frightened by the beast he unleashed, and then he is suppressed by Hindenburg, a little disheartened, and plans to leave Berlin and Hilna to wait and see the fate of the empire. Regardless of the final fate of the Empire, Adrian did not want to be involved.
