Chapter 289: Digging the British
Germany is still in a patriarchal society, but with liberal thought and the possibility of women in most civilian positions, it should not be surprising that Annata should be appointed as the head of the ministry. However, it is difficult in Germany to have a woman in charge of the ministry, which has not been done before and is not now, and Eric wants to break this spell and take the lead in setting off the feminist movement.
Women work more carefully and have a stronger sense of responsibility than men, and Eric is ready to make an exception and train his female subordinates. There are pros and cons in everything, but as long as the pros outweigh the disadvantages, especially if it has a positive contribution to the country's economic development. However, if you want to develop female cadres, you can't avoid conflicts of opinion with the local states, after all, not everyone has the same political views as Eric, and even the cabinet will have some objections, so Eric can only work slowly in Brandenburg, Hanover, Pomernia, Bavaria and Württemberg.
The emancipation of women can increase a large number of labor forces and change the country's labor structure, which has a positive impact on entrepreneurs, but has a great impact on the ruling party.
"I won't make small talk with you, and later Mr. President will criticize me for taking up his precious time." Ananta smiled and walked out of the president's office.
Eric saw that they were talking very speculatively, so he continued to read the book and ignored it.
Ananta left, and Yarma hurriedly walked over to Eric's desk and asked, "Dear Mr. President, Almar Shacht just babbled gibberish and is willing to accept your criticism. ”
"Nothing! If you think about it too much, sit down my minister. I just haven't finished reading a little bit, taking advantage of your chat in the open sky, I want to take a look at the ten lines at a glance first. Would you like to have something to drink first? Eric has always held Armar in high esteem, seeing him as a close friend and work partner in private.
"No need, my Führer, you should hurry up and give instructions. By the way, a Chinese man surnamed Zhou asked me for tea in the afternoon, and I had to go to the appointment on time. Yarma turned and sat down on the couch, waiting for Eric to speak.
"A Chinese with the surname Zhou? Your Excellency Minister has a wide range of contacts. Eric looked at Armar, and then asked seriously, "What's the name of Zhou?" ”
"I don't know what Zhou's name is, but his English name is John Knight." Yarma struggled to remember before replying.
Depend on! Eric first exclaimed from his heart, then joked, "John Knight? He's asking you to dinner? Can I go along? ”
Yarmar was obviously very surprised, and the news that the president of a country was having dinner with a foreign representative of another country would be earth-shattering if it got out.
"I am very happy if Mr. President finds it convenient, but if you have anything to discuss, just leave it to Deputy Minister Rathenau, there is no need to show up on some small occasions, besides, we are discussing military aid to China." Yarmar Schacht said very seriously.
"You don't have to introduce me to him, just as I don't exist." Eric is a contrarian, and the more Almar opposes, the less he wants to miss such an opportunity. In fact, the man whose English name was John Knight was a great man of later generations, a real great man, not a self-proclaimed man, who was recognized by all countries in the world, Eric knew very well in his heart.
"Do you still need my introduction? Who in the world doesn't know you yet? "Almar Schacht clearly felt that the president was a little mischievous, but he still tried to persuade him. Unexpectedly, Eric looked at Yarma with firm eyes and did not speak, and his attitude of determination was obvious.
Almar was helpless, tilting his head and closing his eyes to think of countermeasures.
"Mr. President, there is a military representative in this military aid to China, and you should remember the candidate who was drafted at that time." After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes and said.
"Well, of course I remember, it's Seckert." Eric, of course, will not forget that this man is the general he personally ordered.
"Okay, when the time comes to sign the written agreement, you can watch from the sidelines, and if you have the chance, you can ask him to go backstage to exchange a few words, but remember not to say more." Armar didn't know why Eric had to see him, so he had to think of a solution.
Eric smiled and nodded, satisfied with the arrangement, and accepted Yarma's suggestion.
"Okay, Mr. President, now we can get down to business, hurry up and give instructions, what is the assignment for me?" Alma was sometimes an impatient, and when he was mining in Lorraine, he was dissatisfied with the progress of the workers' work, so he even rolled up his sleeves and went to the construction site himself, and if it weren't for Eric's visit to the construction site, others would not even know that he was actually the finance minister of the German Confederation.
In the face of Eric, Yarma only has to obey, however, this does not affect his respect and support for Eric. Because it was the afternoon and there was still a foreign affairs reception task, he had to cut back to the topic.
"Nothing else, just this book, didn't you just say you wanted to read it? Now I'll let you take it back and take a serious look at it, and then give me a real evaluation. By the way, I would like to ask this author to come to Germany and be your assistant. Eric threw the book on the desk with a "pop", and Yarma quickly got up and walked over to take it in his hand.
"This is the book that Mr. President airlifted back? "The Economic Consequences of Peace", the title of the book is quite domineering, but I hope it is also dry goods. Author Keynes, this man's name sounds familiar, but I can't remember it. Yarma briefly looked at the title of the book and said, "Okay, I'll feel the contents before replying to Mr. President." ”
"Well, though, I have to tell you first, this man attended the Berlin Peace Conference, but he left the conference because of the differences of opinion between the parties." Eric added: "This is a man of personality and some ability, but now that he is suffering from political hunger, I am going to ask Max to come to Germany and be your assistant in the open, so you can focus on the new developments." ”
"Dear Führer, I would be glad if this man were as good as you think, but I must say first, a foreigner, who would be so attentive to the affairs of Germany as the affairs of his own country? Of course, this is just my personal thoughts. If you don't have anything else to say, then I'll go first. Yarma carefully slipped the book into her handbag.
"Okay, I'll make more time to read this book when I get back." When Eric saw that Yarma was about to leave, he hurriedly told him again and again.
Yarma left the presidential palace in a hurry, and because of his respect and support for Eric, he did not feel that it was Eric distracting his power. Fortunately, the relationship between them doesn't care about the official titles in these scenes at all.
