When the spring of 1930 was about to leave, Chentian's second trip around the world officially came to an end. In his first week back in Berlin, he had to work more than 18 hours a day to catch up on the "homework" he had taken on his travels, a mountain of documents that were not listed as urgent matters but still had to be approved or reviewed by him, and a steady stream of visitors to his study, a Minister of Agriculture on the front foot, the Chancellor of the Exchequer who was eager to come in and report on his work, and sometimes had meetings scheduled until late at night......

It wasn't until the breath of early summer was getting closer and closer that the special period after this vacation was difficult to "survive". However, Chentian's troubles did not end there, another problem that had plagued him and the imperial government for a long time was the growing anti-war voice, after all, in 15 years, it had fought 5 major wars with Britain, France, Russia and other Entente countries, Austria-Hungary, the United States, Russia and Japan, among which the war against Japan lasted for nearly two years and has not yet ended, plus some other fragmentary intervention wars and small-scale invasions, Some people, especially those who have lost their families to the war, do have a reason to call for an end to the war.

However, Chentian also knew that ending the war with Japan in the current situation would seem to make Germany a big winner on both the battlefield and the negotiating table, but in essence, it would be a return to the tiger and a waste of previous achievements, because such a peace would hardly touch the foundation of Japan, that is, the militarist system under their emperor system, even if they were made to bear huge reparations, their army, especially experienced middle and high-level officers, a considerable part of the industrial infrastructure, and talents from all walks of life would still be retained, with the ambition and willpower of the Japanese, Tatsuten is almost certain that within 20 years, a new, even more formidable Japanese empire will re-emerge, just like Germany after the end of World War I.

With this in mind, Chen Tian successively convened a special meeting of the Imperial Cabinet and a meeting of the Supreme Command, and the results were mixed with joy, and the happy thing was that 70 percent of the cabinet members and 95 percent of the senior generals of the local army supported the fight on this battlefield. Until the Japanese completely succumbed, the worry was that the cabinet and the army provided some considerable data on the surface, the war did not bring huge economic benefits to Germany as expected, although the prosperity of the military industry solved the employment problem of millions of German civilians, but the army fought far from the homeland and the consumption of resources was extremely huge, with the current financial situation of the empire Although it will not face collapse in a few months, but the pressure is conceivable, I am afraid that this is also an important reason why Japan's top leadership has not yet shown a strong willingness to make peace.

Furthermore. Chen Tian also learned from the Minister of Finance and Commerce that Germany's trade surplus for many years by virtue of its industrial and technological advantages has gradually narrowed since the outbreak of the German-Japanese war, and there has been a deficit in the last two months, that is to say, at present, Germany's income from exporting high-grade industrial products, arms and other products has been less than the expenditure on importing raw materials, and the main reason for this is that the increase in war consumption has forced Germany to import a large amount of grain, ore and even oil from abroad. At present, there are varying degrees of shortages of consumer goods in various parts of Germany, and the prices of ordinary commodities have also increased by 10 to 30 percent.

How long the war will last is not only a matter of great concern to ordinary Germans. It is also the answer that Chen Tian and the top echelons of the government and military are seeking. For this. Chen Tian made a special trip to the German Institute of Atomic Science in Grühlöbrod, hoping to get good news about nuclear weapons research from experts such as Otto Hahn, Stelleman, Weizsäcker and Einstein, but material and human support could not completely replace time.

The separation of uranium isotopes and the study of retargents are still the biggest research topics of the research institute at present, and experts estimate that the development of the first atomic reactor can be completed within three years, and the completion of the first nuclear weapon will be at least in the mid-to-late 30s, which is obviously much longer than Chentian expects.

Seeing that there was no hope of ending the war quickly through the road of nuclear weapons, Chen Tian couldn't help but feel a little lost when he returned to Berlin. Fortunately, as soon as I returned to Berlin, there was good news from the War Department, after nearly half a year of selection, material collection, on-site shooting and post-editing, "Band of Brothers", co-produced by the German Army and the Berlin Royal Film Director, with a total cost of millions of European marks, was finally successfully completed. As Chen Tian envisioned, the whole movie is divided into six segments, each of which is about 45 minutes long. It tells the story of a German Army infantry company from recruit training, the first time on the battlefield to all kinds of hardships, because color film technology is still in its infancy, so the film is still used in black and white film, but the use of previous films (compared to that era) rare close-up shooting, mobile shooting and pyrotechnic effects, and special post-dubbing, has been completed in German, English and Turkish.

Chen Tian had already read the script of this movie, but when the movie was really filmed and ready to be screened, he was still full of anticipation, if nothing else. He believes that this will become a classic of the times, and perhaps it will usher in a new era of cinema.

The interior premiere of "Band of Brothers" was held in the luxuriously decorated screening hall of the palace, and not many people were invited to watch it, with twelve members of the cabinet and fifteen generals of the Supreme Command, plus less than forty royal attendants and bodyguards. Interesting stories in the boot camp drew bursts of laughter, when there were close-range shots and explosions, there would be exclamations or exclamations from the cabinet ministers, the images of brutal battles that made people who had not been on the battlefield even dare not take a breath, and when they saw a soldier desperately trying to save his comrades, several generals secretly wiped their tears.

The film runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with five breaks in between, including a relatively simple lunch, and Tatsu noticed that most people don't talk much during this period, until the film is over and the hall is lit up again, and Tatsu receives a long-lost round of applause.

Two weeks later, the film was screened at the Royal Cinema Berlin, the largest theater in Berlin. Although compared with previous movies that were only half an hour or even ten minutes long, this masterpiece is really a bit long. But for Germans who are accustomed to opera, it is not a difficult task. Chen Tian did not attend the scene in person, but heard that the next few paragraphs of the theater burst into applause from time to time, and many noble ladies were still in tears until they left the theater, although the men's reaction was not beyond words, but after the large-scale release of the film, the number of people who went to recruitment stations across Germany to sign up for the army exploded, and various surveys showed that the military is once again becoming the most respected and popular person in Germany.

Over the next month, the film was released in mainstream and non-mainstream cinemas in major German cities. Almost all of the theaters were full, and many people went to see it more than once, and in the end, the government organized a free screening in the square, so that the most grassroots people could also watch this film reflecting the German-Japanese war.

Two months later, the height of summer came.

As in previous years, Chen Tian left Berlin with his family to escape the summer in the North Sea, and as the host of the western North Sea, King Rupresit of Britain came to meet him with his little wife as usual, and "Band of Brothers" was just beginning to be released in British countries. Talking about the movie. Rupresit seemed to be very emotional.

"It's better to be a king than to choose a country like Britain. Scenery and worry-free; If you are a soldier, it is better to be a moral ** person, where there is the most basic sense of responsibility and trust! If you give me a choice. I would rather take 10 marks a month to serve in a fighting and cohesive army than 100 marks to stay in the British army! Your Majesty also knows that whether it is the British Army in the past or the British Army now, the combat effectiveness is ashamed! ”

"What Your Majesty said is not true, the British Expeditionary Force performed well in France back then, and it took us a lot of effort to defend the homeland, and now the British Royal Guard is one of the elites in a hundred, and its combat effectiveness is by no means inferior to that of ordinary German army units! Your Majesty doesn't know that this movie is somewhat exaggerated! On this point, Chen Tian is not obscure in front of his old friends.

Rupresit laughed, "Your Majesty, do you know what a strong response this film has caused in Britain?" Previously, most Britons hated Germany and the Germans, but at least they did not have a good impression.

After watching this movie, many people even came up with the idea of joining the German ** team as a foreign soldier! ”

"Well, even after watching this movie, I feel the urge to go to war!" Chen Tian nodded and showed that he understood very much, "If I were just an ordinary German citizen, if I were 20 years younger and I didn't have any family burdens, I would definitely sign up for the German Army!" In fact, the number of people signing up for the military in Germany has more than doubled recently compared to the same period last year! ”

"Ha, with this movie, Your Majesty won't have to worry about the problem of Germany's military resources in the next fifty years!"

"Fifty years? Fifty years later, they were all dry bones. Hehe! Chen Tian said half-jokingly.

"By the way, I heard that this movie was also released in Turkey, and it was specially translated into Turkish!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Have a little question, I heard that the film released in France is in German?" Rupresit asked in a softer tone.

"Yes, how?" Chen Tian had already guessed some of the other party's meaning.

"I mean, Your Majesty didn't intend to translate it into French?" Rupresit continued to ask lightly.

Without much thought, Chen Tian replied, "No! This is not the movie version of Romeo and Juliet! ”

"Romeo and Juliet......" Rupresit was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Your Majesty's explanation is really in place!" It is well known that the French prefer romance to war, and they have not won a decent victory since Emperor Napoleon! ”

"A flock of sheep led by a lion is better than a flock of lions led by a sheep! Your Majesty should have heard of this! Chen Tian said meaningfully, "The French are a flock of sheep, they don't need to be instilled with too much military knowledge, they are suitable for a comfortable and peaceful life!" ”

"De** people are a group of lions!" Rupresit nodded in agreement, "As long as it's not a sheep to lead them, they can make the world tremble!" ”

Chen Tian did not say anything about this, but shifted the topic to the Americans:

"I'm going to bring this film to the United States, and I think adventurous Americans will love it, so we can book our tickets a little higher and launch a range of souvenirs and toys! What do you think? That's a great idea, isn't it? Chen Tian said confidently that this approach is absolutely unique in this era, but the creativity is learned from later generations of Americans.

"Your Majesty must be the most business-minded German emperor of all time!" Rupresit smiled and complimented.

"Where, where! It's better not to be scolded by future generations! Chen Tian laughed self-deprecatingly.

Regardless of whether the film will create an economic miracle, by the time Chen Tian returned to Germany from his trip to the North Sea, this wave of brothers and daughters had not yet dissipated, and those staunch anti-war activists were still publishing fiercely worded anti-war articles in various newspapers and magazines, but the long queues in front of the recruitment stations and the smaller and fewer anti-war marches were indisputable facts, and a series of activities aimed at donating money to the dead and wounded soldiers were enthusiastically supported by the general public, and when the protagonist of the film - When the familiar names such as company commander Fatih Portmann, 1st platoon commander Schott Borg, 2nd platoon commander Stewin von Wakbas, and cooking squad leader KGG Wiespar echoed in people's ears again, a more crazy "fraternal tide" quickly swept across Germany and even Europe. What is called comrade-in-arms, war has always been a giant beast that swallows money, but through this movie, people finally found something beyond material, where there is great friendship, where there is glorious sacrifice, and there is an indomitable fighting spirit.

When autumn came, the German troops sent to the Far East, mainly the army units, began to return to the country one after another, and the German Reichstag passed a bill with a large vote, that is, to allocate 1.25 billion marks from the financial expenditure as special military spending for the next two years, so that the German officers and men still stationed in the Far East could continue to maintain the naval blockade and strategic bombing of Japan. After a large number of army units returned home, there were still 42 air wings, 320,000 army units, and naval vessels with a total tonnage of more than 1.4 million tons stuck to their respective combat posts.
