Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Voroshilov and Yezhov were escorted all the way to the Kremlin and brought into Stalin's office.

In just a few hours' journey, the two of them seemed to have aged more than ten years. They looked like they were in a state of despair. If they were not supported by the guards beside them, they might not even be able to climb.

"That means you didn't break through the Polish defense line at all??" Stalin held a pipe in his hand and stared coldly at the two people in front of him.

Ye Ruofu suddenly broke away from the two strong men holding him, knelt down, and kowtowed his head with a bang, his forehead was bruised, and blood flowed all over his face. "Leader, have mercy, we were just confused for a moment..."

"Shut up!" As soon as Yezhov's begging for mercy came out, he was rudely interrupted by Stalin. His eyes were wide open and the muscles on his face were twitching. He looked very ferocious and terrifying. The anger erupting from his eyes seemed to be able to Burn people to ashes. "Pull out!"

The guards pulled the two people out, leaving only Stalin breathing heavily in the office.

After the recent purge, the only people he left behind were loyal ministers who were loyal to him. He never dreamed that his confidants and the marshal would dare to collude to deceive him.

This incident made him furious, but what bothered him even more was how many people were like them who were lying to him and cheating on them? Is there anyone else you can trust?

He didn't notice that this idea was simply poisonous. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that everyone around him was extremely suspicious. Everyone might be a spy or traitor hiding around him.

"There are still enemies in our team, hidden enemies, very cunning... We must dig them out, no matter how deep they are, we must dig... Only when the team is pure can we win the final victory..." Stalin walked back and forth, muttering to himself.

He immediately summoned a group of people he thought could still be trusted and held a meeting with the theme of "thoroughly purifying the *** team".

After the meeting, the Great Purge, which had just subsided for less than a year, revived with great force, sweeping the entire Soviet Union more ferociously than before.

…………………………………………

On the Warsaw side, a group of Guards X troops entered the city.

They searched for underground entrances in the city. Whenever they found one, they poured several barrels of napalm into it, lit it on fire, and then sealed the entrance.

Sometimes you can still hear bursts of screams coming from underground, the kind of heart-wrenching screams that make people's scalp numb.

As the flame offensive advanced rapidly, the Poles hiding underground finally could no longer hold on. When a company of Polish soldiers in a secret stronghold was suffocated to death, a large number of Polish soldiers fled to the ground and surrendered one after another.

Carol Rommel, who felt that the situation was over, finally gave the order to allow the Polish troops in the underground city to surrender, but he himself drank a bullet and committed suicide in his office, living up to his bold words of "living and dying with Warsaw."

Compared with these Polish soldiers who fought bravely and defended their territory against the enemy, the Polish government's performance was lackluster.

Marshal Himigwi and President Moschiecki, who fled Warsaw early, first fled to Lublin, southeast of Warsaw, and then fled from Lublin to Kremeniec after staying for only three days.

A week later, the Polish government, which fled to Zareshki close to the Romanian border, finally realized that it had been betrayed by its allies. It decided to flee to Romania to stop the exiled government and transport 800 tons of gold to Western countries through Romania for storage.

Yannick knew that although Germany defeated Poland very simply, the Polish soldiers did not give up.

In the original time and space, these defeated Polish troops entered Hungary and Romania, and took various routes in order to go to France and Britain to participate in the battle. The most common ones were to start from Romania or Hungary, enter Italy or Yugoslavia, which were still neutral countries at the time, and take a ship to the French colonies in North Africa or Syria; others entered Spain from Italy, then Portugal, and took a ship to the United Kingdom. This is a convenient way to travel across Europe. A Polish Army captain entered the Soviet Union eastward, crossed the entire Siberia, then crossed the Pacific via Japan to Canada, contacted the British recruiting station, traveled around the world, and finally returned to France to join the Polish army!

After the retreat from Dunkirk, France's defeat on the battlefield was certain. A Polish exile army in Scotland, the Podhall Brigade, at the request of France, actually set off from Scotland and returned to the port of Brest on the Brittany Peninsula in France to join them. The second phase of the defensive battle in the Battle of France. Their courage in knowing that nothing could be done was admirable, but the ending was tragic. The brigade was defeated by the German army together with the main force of the French army. Only a small part of the brigade headquarters command structure was able to withdraw from the port of Brest to the United Kingdom in time. The dispersed Polish soldiers either entered German prisoner-of-war camps or entered the Vichy government-controlled areas in southern France, and then traveled to North Africa and Gibraltar to find allies in the United Kingdom or the Middle East to continue fighting.

These Polish soldiers received French pay and weapons, and were often regarded by the Allies as beggars who lived on charity. Now they had to fight for their lives again. Many Polish soldiers would rather die in battle to prove that they were warriors in front of the Allies. . This mentality allowed them to display admirable courage and self-sacrifice in battle, but it also caused them to needlessly lose valuable human resources. Of the total 75,000 Polish exiled troops fighting in France, only 19,000 fled to the UK, and 5,000 of them were air force personnel originally scheduled to be trained and equipped by the UK.

When a train carrying high-level members of the Polish government, 800 tons of gold, and a group of soldiers arrived at the railway station in the Romanian border city of Tarena, and was about to add water and fuel, a group of German Guards soldiers with live ammunition rushed into the platform and surrounded the entire train. Hold on, keep your guns pointed at each carriage.

"What, what is going on?!" Marshal Himigwe and President Moschiecki were shocked when they saw this. "Quickly, get out of here!" Unfortunately, no matter how they yelled in panic, the train was not a high-end sports car. It could speed up to 100 meters in a few seconds. Moreover, the locomotive had already been controlled by the Guards at this time. They wanted to I can't escape even if I run, I have truly become a turtle in a urn.

At this time, the loudspeaker outside sounded. "People in the car, listen, you have one minute to put down your weapons and get out. If not, we will shoot indiscriminately! Now start the countdown, 59, 58..."

Looking at the condescending machine gunners on the roof outside, the soldiers holding Panzerfaust rockets, and even two tanks in the distance with the black holes pointing their muzzles, the people in the cars had no intention of resisting.

The Poles who lined up to get off the train were briefly searched, their numbers were recorded, and they were put into the train carriage on the other side.

Looking at President Moschiecki and Marshal Himigwe, who were walking out of the carriage with frustrated faces, a Guards major general stepped forward with a smile. "You two, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"You, you..." The two of them stared hatefully at the young man who was following the major general and had the Romanian flag on his chest. They just wanted to rush forward and bite him. This young man is Romania's Crown Prince Mihai. These despicable and shameless guys actually played such a trick to trap him? "Aren't you afraid of being condemned by the international community?!"

Mihai spread his hands and said innocently. "Sorry, you are important wanted criminals in Germany. As a friendly country that has signed an extradition treaty with Germany, we are of course obliged to help Germany catch criminals, which also includes trapping methods."

Michael's father, Carol II, was a famous playboy who gave up his right to the throne twice for women. Michael was the son of Carol II and his second wife, Princess Helen of Greece. In 1927, Carol II once again gave up his right to inherit the throne and eloped with his lover to Paris. Michael, who was only six years old, became the new king of Romania. Among the various European dynasties at that time, Michael I was the youngest king. But three years later, in 1930, Carol II returned to Romania, and Michael I had to give up the throne to his father, and he was reduced to the crown prince.

As we all know, most of the European royal families are relatives, and Romania is no exception. Ferdinand, who succeeded his uncle to the throne in 1914 and became the king of Romania, was a branch member of the Hohenzollern family. Moreover, this Mihai has been a fan of Yannick since he was a child. At this time, Romania almost became a vassal of Germany, but like Spain, it declared neutrality on the surface.
