Chapter 488: Visit to Germany (Part 1)

After their visit to Warsaw, Eder and his party took a special train all the way westward into Germany.

Unlike Poland, which appears to be more peaceful and peaceful, many people in Germany are looking for something in the wilderness in shabby clothes, and this phenomenon caught Eder's attention.

"Your Majesty, this is the difficult German people looking for firewood and food."

An attendant working in Germany then explained to Eder.

His words aroused the curiosity of Queen Sophie Mary.

"Isn't it that the Ruhr crisis has been resolved, why are so many people living so difficult?"

Edel can answer his wife's curious inquiries. Who let Romania introduce so many technologies, personnel and equipment in Germany, and has a thorough understanding of all aspects of it.

It is true that the Ruhr crisis has been resolved long ago, and Germany has resumed economic production activities, but the fragility of its economy makes it extremely difficult to recover. Take unemployment, which hit 6 percent last year in Germany amid the Ruhr crisis.

The crisis has been resolved, so this year should be much better, right?

I'm sorry that the delayed economy has caused the unemployment rate to increase instead of decreasing. The current unemployment rate in Germany has reached 5%. Millions of people are out of work and rely on handouts to get by. But the German government itself is very poor, and what to feed the appetites of millions of people, let alone the families behind it.

Therefore, this visit to Edel is highly valued by the German society. Because Germany's trade volume with Romania currently occupies the first position in its exports. At present, the German government hopes to continue to expand the scope of this trade, and they regard Romania as a panacea to solve the current German economic difficulties.

So when the Romanian delegation arrived in Berlin, a grand welcoming ceremony unfolded in the train station. German President Friedrich Ebert and Prime Minister Wilhelm Marx came to the scene to greet Eder and his party in person. From this, it can be seen that Germany is urgent for Romanian funds.

Facing the grand welcoming ceremony of Germany, the Romanian side was taken aback. Of course, they also know why there is such a huge welcome ceremony. To put it bluntly, they are interested in the money in Romania's pocket.

In fact, it is almost the same, but there is another reason. That is, Eder was the first head of state to visit normally after Germany's defeat, and the German side also took the opportunity to make a lot of arrangements in order to show respect.

"Hello, President Abbott."

After getting out of the car, Eder walked over to Germany's first president and reached out to hold the leader of the Social Democratic Party. Speaking of which, the president's life in Germany was not easy at all.

The left accused him of being "traitors to the revolution" for suppressing workers' uprisings and killing prominent left-wing leaders such as Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg; the right forced the Kaiser to abdicate during the November Revolution And signed a peace treaty with the Allies, accusing him of being a "traitor of the nation" and prosecuting him.

During his reign, he suppressed both the leftist Soviet uprising and the restoration coup d'etat of the rightist nationalists. So the president's reputation outside is not very good, and many people have criticized him.

However, as a president, he still has his own abilities. Even if there are so many people who oppose him, he can be regarded as the pinnacle of the sea in the Weimar Republic.

As for Prime Minister William Marx, he was a lawyer, and his appointment as Prime Minister also attracted the Catholic Central Party. As one of the few parties that leaned toward the Social Democratic Party, the Catholic Central Party also had great support for it.

In addition, there are prominent figures closely related to Romania, such as bankers and business owners, at the station, and Eder met them one by one.

After meeting people from all walks of life in Germany, Eder and President Abbott got into the same car.

"This visit by His Majesty the King has made our people very happy. In addition, I would like to thank His Majesty the King for his kindness to Germany. On behalf of the people, I am here to thank His Majesty for his generous assistance, so that the poor can live through those days."

"Don't be so polite, our family also went out from Germany before, and we also have our own feelings for this land and the people."

Edel replied, not afraid of misunderstanding by Mr. President but also exerting his own influence. And this will also make the German people have a good impression of the Romanian royal family, at least it can make them prefer Romania when choosing jobs with the same pay. This is the result of Eder's long-term goodwill towards Germany. Although there is not much assistance, the friendship is still there. Then it's worth it.

"Your Majesty, I hope to achieve maximum cooperation with your country this time."

After a few words, President Abbott turned the conversation to cooperation. Before the visit, Romania had passed the agreement with the German side, and the main negotiated issues had been reviewed by the German side, and the next negotiation was mainly about the price between the two parties. And President Albert's words are showing his attitude. He is happy to see the cooperation between Germany and Romania.

In fact, President Albert was the only one who wanted to express his attitude. At the welcome dinner later, people flocked to the Romanian delegation. Of course, those who had a good identity chose to take the opportunity to meet Edel and have a few words. And if the identity is not enough, of course, you can only choose Foreign Minister Kostel or Chief of General Staff Fleet to talk to.

Therefore, at this welcome dinner, the Romanian delegation could not resist the enthusiasm of the Germans.

"Your Majesty, this is Mr. Juncker. The Junkers Aircraft Company he founded now occupies a considerable position in the world's air transport industry, and he also produced the world's first passenger aircraft called the F-13."

Edel looked at the 60-year-old man who was walking towards him and tidied up his clothes, and a servant was introducing him to the life story of the person who came to him. For Edel, the name Junkers, in addition to the Junkers nobles, is the Junkers Aircraft Factory, the maker of the famous transport planes and Stukas in World War II. Edel certainly needs to pay attention to this family that has made great contributions to the Third Reich.

I saw Edel smiling, took a step forward, stretched out his hand and said, "Good evening, Mr. Junker."

Old Junker, who was taken aback by Edel's actions, quickly stretched out his hand and replied, "Good evening, Your Majesty the King."

"It is really admirable that your company can take the lead in seeing the opportunity and produce the world's first passenger aircraft. I believe that under your leadership, Junkers aircraft will be sold all over the world."

Edel's praise made old Junkers a little moved. Is his broken plane company really that good?

To know whether he chose to meet the Romanian king just now, old Junker hesitated. The reason for his hesitation is that the company is too small, and it is a question whether the total assets can exceed $500,000. And who were the people who met the Romanian king before, the Krupp family, the Bayer family, the Mauser family and other famous families. These people are at least large corporations with tens of millions of dollars, and Junkers is completely unqualified compared to them.

However, what finally made Juncker take this step was his demand and desire for Romanian capital and technology. Because the Henry Coanda Aircraft Factory has newly developed a 410-horsepower aero-engine, this aero-engine has extremely low fuel consumption and is very suitable for use as a transport model. And the old Junker also needed to get funds from the Romanians to expand the scale of his company, so in the end he took a firm step, and Eder's words made the old Juncker feel that this decision was a wise decision.

Although I really wanted to tell Eder about his grand goals on the spot, but looking at the people standing next to Eder, I knew that if I entangled too much, it would be quite rude. So old Junker, who knew that time was limited, immediately took the time to speak.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your interest in our company. If you have the opportunity, I hope Your Majesty can come to visit our company. This is my business card, so I won't disturb Your Majesty."
