Being a Generalleutnant in the Lufstreitkraft Erich naturally had connections to German intelligence agencies, especially German military intelligence.
After years of combat and commanding military operations at greater and greater scale, Erich was in line to become a Generalfeldmarschall soon enough.
Even, so, his ability to influence the Lufstreitkrafte was greater than any other man in his position, and the reason was obvious.
Because of this, he often heard rumors from intelligence that found their way to his desk regardless if he wanted them to.
In the end, he heard about his cousin, and the major contender for his family's throne. Specifically, in regard to Karl-Franz's outburst in Versailles, and the way he had treated his fiancée.
Erich scoffed when he saw the report hit his desk, he shook his head, a sneer of contempt tracing the edges of his lips.
