Gustav would agree to Chang's proposal, neither because Zhang's shameless spirit worked, nor because Zhang's bribery worked.

What prompted Gustav to make the decision were the three hints revealed by Zhang Chengtian's words.

First of all, Zhang Chengtian belittled Gustav's collection as empty and proposed that there were more worthy works of art to collect. This hints at Gustav, the role of the German chancellor in the present is far less than that of the German president. In a way, to be elected chancellor of Germany is to be elected as a defective product with no apparent appearance. And the German president is the more worthy target.

Secondly, Zhang Chengtian mentioned the example of Ludendorff's house being raided. This point points out that Ludendorff, who has nothing to show for himself, was obviously inferior to Zhang Chengtian's strong attack behind the enemy of Zhang Chengtian, who was sent by the former president, and failed to stir up even a trace of ripples. So what can the Prime Minister of the Republic, who is also empty, do in the future when he disagrees with the President? Nothing will be done, the answer is obvious!

Finally, Zhang hinted at a subtle aspect that was uncomfortable. Ludendorff who opposed them could still be calmly eliminated, let alone Gustav now. (Of course, Gustav isn't sure whether Mr. Chang is alluding to himself.) ）

In fact, Gustav did guess the first two hints of Zhang Chengtian. But Zhang's third hint was that Gustav didn't guess at all.

Do you still need to guess!? If you agree to run for president, you will definitely get benefits. Better green tea, more valuable blue and white porcelain, this is not a hint!?

Compared with the middle-aged man who kindly persuaded him to get out of the way just now, Zhang Chengtian swaggered and left arrogantly.

Zhang Chengtian, who left, knew very well that what made Gustav really make up his mind was neither his own analysis and hints, nor bribery to curry favor. The real reason lies in the fact that Gustav is a politician!

As a politician, becoming president would be the best way for Gustav to achieve his ambitions. The power of the president, Gustav never neglected. It's just that, before that, Gustav lacked the capital to campaign. Now, with the support of the Socialist Workers' Party, the largest party in the country, and the financial support of the emerging Rhine Foundation, Gustav has the confidence and capital that he did not have before.

Running for prime minister was a second-best option. Now that there is an opportunity to go to the next level, who would be stupid enough not to be interested. Dare to think before you dare to do, Gustav, is a politician who dares to think.
