However, he himself did not know this, so when Mainz mentioned the name of the Palace of Versailles, Roosevelt immediately became alert!
“I went to see it. What’s wrong? Is there any problem?”
Roosevelt looked at Mainz with a serious expression, trying to see some clues from his face to prove his idea!
“No problem. I just want to ask Mr. President and Mrs. President if they like the Palace of Versailles. If they do, there will be a ceremony at the Palace of Versailles this weekend. I will invite you two and hope that the President and the First Lady can attend!”
After Mainz finished speaking, he did not even look at Roosevelt’s reaction and found an excuse to end the meeting.
Roosevelt left Mainz in frustration. He came here to discuss the arms sales contract with Mainz, but Mainz did not give him a chance to speak. This made him come with great pleasure but return with disappointment.
“This guy must have done this on purpose!”
President Roosevelt became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something fishy about this matter!
“Could it be that he was threatening me, saying that if I didn’t show my respect and attend the ceremony at the Palace of Versailles, he would not negotiate the arms purchase contract with me?”
Suddenly, President Roosevelt linked the two events together and came to a conclusion that shocked him.
If you think about this conclusion carefully, it seems very likely that Mainz did do this.
After all, from his previous behavior of asking for a sky-high price, it can be seen that he didn’t really want to sell this batch of weapons and equipment. The reason why he asked so high a price was to persuade me to give up. Unexpectedly, I was not persuaded, so he thought of using this excuse to delay or stop me, right?
“Humph, no matter what, I will get this batch of weapons. Since you have repeatedly prevented me from obtaining this batch of weapons, I will buy it even more!”
President Roosevelt’s stubborn temper came up. He has a very strong character and is very unwilling to admit defeat!
Since he has seen through Mainz’s intentions, he will not let the other party succeed!
“Isn’t it just to attend your coronation ceremony? What’s the big deal? I want to see how you can pretend to be a crown prince. You are not the crown prince, but you insist on coronating yourself!”
……
On December 15, 192, three days after the military parade in the Iron Tower City, when the dignitaries of various countries had not yet left, Mainz once again sent out invitations to invite dignitaries from various countries to the Palace of Versailles to participate in an important ceremony: the establishment of the Third Reich!
This news was not spread internationally until December 14, the last day before the coronation ceremony.
After hearing this news, all countries were shocked.
When they heard that there was a coronation ceremony and Hans was going to rebuild the Third Reich, they were very curious and nervous.
Hans in the Republic era was already like this. If Mainz was crowned emperor and the Weimar Republic became the Third Reich, wouldn’t Hans be completely unrestrained and do whatever he wanted?
In the Republic era, although Mainz was the president of the country and the head of state of Hans, because the president was not a permanent term, he would step down and retire. However, once it became an empire, he would be completely unable to get off the throne!
When the head of state replaced the president, the country became a one-man show for Mainz. He could do whatever he wanted, and no one could stop him! The general understanding and impression of Mainz in various countries now is that he is a young soldier, a talented general with outstanding military achievements!
Since Mainz is a general, he must be a militarist and an out-and-out warmongerer!
Before the establishment of the Third Reich, he would be restricted by the parliament and the presidential term.
But once the Third Reich is established, these restrictions and constraints will all become invalid. By then, no one can stop Mainz from doing anything. The country has completely become a tool in his hands!
How can this not make people feel scared?
……
The capital of the city where the sun never sets, the city of fog!
The people of the city were still trembling with fear over the advanced weapons and equipment that Hans had revealed at the military parade in the Iron Tower City three days ago, but they didn’t expect Hans to release even more heavy news – Mainz was actually going to be crowned emperor!
This made the city even more panicked!
“We have to do something to stop this lunatic!”
“That’s right, we must stop him. If we don’t stop him, once he really ascends the throne, he will certainly launch an attack on our homeland, and it will be impossible for him to make peace with us, because there is no one in their country who can restrain him, or even influence him!”
Hans is still a republic now, and has his own parliament. Mainz needs the approval of the parliament to do things. Although the parliament is now controlled by the Progress Party, what he says is what it is, and it will basically not be rejected.
However, the seats in parliament are constantly changing, and the rise and fall of political parties are common. Therefore, the Progress Party is in the limelight and can occupy the vast majority of seats at this time. However, if the Progress Party loses the support of the people and loses the power of the largest party in parliament in the future, then Mainz’s power will be greatly affected! The British British
Party can even lobby and secretly support those who oppose the United States. The politicians in Hans used their influence and power to interfere with Mainz’s decision-making and prevent him from attacking the British mainland.
However, once Mainz really ascended the throne, the parliament would inevitably be cancelled, and Hans would have the final say in all matters in the country. At that time, it would be very, very difficult to stop Mainz’s military actions!
This is much more difficult than causing trouble for him in parliament!
This is the real reason why the senior officials of the British government were furious after hearing this news!
Because this news is equivalent to a nuclear bomb for them, shocking them all!
“What can we do? Our army has been driven out of Europe. Even if we send troops to counterattack Europe now, we can’t stop the enemy. What’s more, our army can’t beat the enemy at all. If we counterattack now, we will just be sending ourselves to die!”
The Minister of the Army quickly stood up and expressed his opinion that the army was powerless to do anything about this matter.
“If the army can’t do it, the navy will be even worse. We can’t go upstream into the Iron Tower City to kill Mainz!”
Seeing the army’s statement, the Minister of the Navy also hurriedly followed up. They had no way to deal with this matter.
“Isn’t there a Seine River in the Eiffel Tower? Why can’t we send a smaller submarine to sneak into the Seine River and then assassinate Mainz?”
However, some people have different opinions. They think that since there is a river in the Eiffel Tower, why can’t we sneak in secretly by submarine, and then secretly send the assassination soldiers into the Eiffel Tower to assassinate Mainz?
Hearing such an amateur’s words, the Minister of the Navy couldn’t help rolling his eyes.
