President Christian walked into the palace on the Spree River in Berlin, he was still confused and had not yet recovered from the previous state of shock!
After being reminded by someone, he realized that the person who greeted him just now was the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Third Reich himself. Before he could figure out why Ribbentrop knew him and took the initiative to greet him, Ribbentrop brought another even more shocking news: the head of the Third Reich, His Excellency Mainz, was waiting for him in the City Palace! The
City Palace on the Spree River was once the palace of the Kingdom of Prussia and the German Empire. When the workers’ revolution broke out in Berlin in 1918, it was briefly occupied by the uprising workers.
The Weimar Republic that was later established replaced the German Empire, and the last German Emperor William II was expelled and forced to go into exile.
At this point, Germany began to transform from an empire to a republic, and there was no emperor and corresponding royal family members in the palace.
Therefore, after 1918, the City Palace was gradually transformed into a museum, becoming a symbol of the existence of the former Prussian Kingdom and the German Empire.
As a symbol of Prussia and the German Empire, this place is still full of meaning for the German people. Therefore, during World War II, it was bombed by the Allies. After the Soviet army conquered Berlin, it even used explosives to destroy it again. After the establishment of East Germany, it was transformed into the Palace of the Republic of East Germany and became the location of the East German Parliament.
President Christian took office not long ago and had not visited the Third Reich before, so he didn’t know much about Berlin, a city full of history.
Like many people, his impression of Berlin is probably the Brandenburg Gate, Linden Street and the Arc de Triomphe!
But he was confused about these points. Berlin does have a triumphal arch, but this triumphal arch is actually the Brandenburg Gate.
The Brandenburg Gate was indeed called the Triumphal Arch at the beginning. This was an imitation of the practice during the Roman Empire, and was prepared to welcome the victorious soldiers on the front line.
Compared with the most famous Arc de Triomphe in the world, the Brandenburg Gate was built much earlier and has a longer history.
However, the Arc de Triomphe in the Iron Tower City is more famous and has gradually become the representative of Arc de Triomphes around the world!
It is precisely because of the great reputation of the Arc de Triomphe in the Iron Tower City that the Arc de Triomphe in Berlin has gradually been renamed the Brandenburg Gate to distinguish it.
However, with the continuous victory of the German army in foreign wars in recent years, the Brandenburg Gate has welcomed batches of victorious German soldiers, which has spread its reputation throughout Europe and even overshadowed the Arc de Triomphe in the Iron Tower City.
Therefore, people from all countries have gradually changed the name of the Brandenburg Gate back to the Arc de Triomphe.
Therefore, to those who are not aware of it, it seems that Berlin has two more famous gates, one is called the Brandenburg Gate and the other is called the Arc de Triomphe, but they don’t know that this is actually the same thing!
The worst were actually the Gauls. The French army suffered a disastrous defeat in the Gallic Campaign. The Arc de Triomphe of the Iron Tower City not only failed to welcome the triumph of the French army, but also became a famous attraction for visiting and taking photos with the Iron Tower Army, which made it a laughing stock in the eyes of all countries!
Chris had no idea about the City Palace, the former palace of the German Empire.
After all, the German Empire had long been gone, and it had been transformed into a museum ten years ago. Who would go to learn about a museum that had no sense of existence?
So, when he was taken outside the City Palace and saw a large number of soldiers with live ammunition, as well as a large number of construction workers and engineering vehicles on the quiet banks of the Spree River, President Christian felt very curious and a little afraid.
Those German soldiers with live ammunition gave him a sense of extreme danger, just like a bloodthirsty snow wolf hiding in the dark in the night!
This bloodthirsty temperament made him shudder. After being accustomed to the gentle and friendly guards of the Finnish country, he felt very uncomfortable when he saw such an aggressive guard.
“Wait a moment, His Excellency the Führer is meeting a guest!”
The two walked into the City Palace, and Secretary Bauman, the head of the Führer’s Secretariat, nodded to them apologetically and said with a smile
“Oh? There didn’t seem to be such an arrangement originally. Who is the guest?”
Ribbentrop asked Secretary Baumann curiously about the situation inside. President Christian, who was standing next to him, pretended to appreciate the scenery inside the palace, but he couldn’t help but pricked up his ears and tried to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two. Secretary Baumann smiled and said,”It’s a guest from the East!”
“Oh! So that’s it!”
Ribbentrop nodded slightly after hearing this, but did not ask any more questions.
But President Christian was very curious: Who is the guest from the East?
The East of the Third Reich, this area is too large!
Eastern Europe is considered the East, right?
The Bear State is considered the East, right?
West Asia is considered the East, right?
Even the Far East and Central Asia are considered the East, right?
With such a large area, it is impossible for him to guess who the guest that the head of Mainz is meeting is.
So he can only hope that the person will come out later, and he may be able to recognize him!
The two waited for a while, but it was only the time for a cup of coffee, and the meeting inside was over..
Although the interior of the City Palace has been repaired, it is very empty because there are not many people living there. Any sound can be heard far away in this corridor.
After hearing the footsteps coming from the corridor, President Christian stretched his neck and looked towards the exit, racking his brains to see the face of the person coming out!
He really succeeded!
Although the man was wearing a black wide-brimmed hat and a high-collared black coat, he pulled the collar of the windbreaker very high when he came out, blocking most of his side face.
However, President Christian still recognized the other person at a glance!
“It’s him, how come he is here?”
After recognizing this person’s identity, President Christian was surprised and worried!
