Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

News of the riots in Indiana quickly reached Washington.

"Mr. Vice President, former President Wilkie has been killed!"

Vice President Truman was shocked. "what happened?!"

As we all know, the U.S. president is a "high-risk" profession, and 9 U.S. presidents have been assassinated. They are Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, James Abram Garfield, William McKinley, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Gerald Rudolph Ford, Ronald Wilson Reagan; some died, some survived.

But there are no presidents who have been killed after leaving office.

Because the President of the United States is ostensibly a "spokesman" of interests elected by the people, but in essence he still serves the large conglomerates and elites behind the President. Citizens' right to vote is only a superficial manifestation of the democratic system, but the president is the "helmsman" of capitalism.

Therefore, this has also led to the fact that some of the policies adopted by the president after taking office cannot be "beneficial to everyone", which will cause contradictions and conflicts, and breed demonstrations, protests and even assassinations. And this is also the most direct manifestation of "contradictory immediacy": your current policy does not meet my interests and needs, and I will find ways to prevent the implementation of this policy.

But this “paradoxical immediacy” disappears when the president is gone. Because the president after leaving office no longer has the right to govern, the conflict will naturally shift to the next president. Carrying out assassination activities against the resigned president has no political significance and cannot affect the policies of the current government. Therefore, no matter how miserable the president makes his opponents when he is in office, once the president steps down, everything will be over. It is not cost-effective to carry out assassinations at this time.

But this "tradition" has been broken? !

"Where is the murderer? Have you caught him?!"

"I heard that thousands of people rushed to the residence of former President Wilkie..." The secretary hesitated and continued. "They also set fire to former President Wilkie's house, leaving only ashes by the time the local fire brigade arrived."

"Thousands of people?" Vice President Truman was stunned for a moment, then reacted. "Are they the families of those expeditionary force soldiers?!"

"yes."

"..." Vice President Truman sighed melancholy.

How to deal with this matter?

Punish the murderer severely?

But this incident is tantamount to former President Wilkie indirectly killing those expeditionary force soldiers. If the government wants to severely punish the murderer of former President Wilkie, it may arouse greater public outrage; but today is a society governed by the rule of law, and it cannot be ignored Are you going to ignore someone being killed? What's more, that's the former president!

Vice President Truman patted his head with a headache, and suddenly thought of his former president, Roosevelt. "Quick, send someone to protect former President Roosevelt!" Although President Roosevelt did not cooperate with the Soviet Union, the war against Germany was started by President Roosevelt. Who knows whether these people will also spread their anger on Roosevelt? !

At this time, another secretary hurried in to report. "Mr. Vice President, there are massive demonstrations in cities."

"These damn Germans!" Vice President Truman couldn't help but curse. If the Germans continued to bomb, these people could only hide in the countryside or underground fortifications. But these hateful Germans just announced that they would stop bombing for half a month. Isn't it obvious that they want the American people to make a fuss?

It’s really troublesome internally and externally.

Across the Atlantic Ocean, in the Berlin Palace, Yannick held a small meeting.

"Minister Ribbentrop, have you contacted Siberia?"

Ribbentrop said respectfully. "Contact has been made and they are preparing to establish the Siberian Republic."

"Republic of Siberia?" Yannik snorted disdainfully. "Have these guys given up yet?" As early as 1918, during the Soviet-Russian Civil War, the old forces of Tsarist Russia announced the establishment of the Siberian Republic and claimed a territory of 13 million people. The territory extends from the Ural Mountains to the Pacific Ocean.

At that time, there were many anti-Soviet regimes, dozens of them in Russia, large and small, and the Siberian Republic was just one of them. What’s even more funny is that the Siberian Republic has no army, no policy plan, and no policy agenda. It was just a temporary team put up by the Soviets to oppose Lenin. The area they claim to govern is nothing more than empty words. Not long after, due to internal generals launching a coup and surrendering to the Soviet Union, the Siberian Republic only lasted four months and perished.

But Yannick didn’t bother to care what their country was called. "Give them 300,000 square kilometers. If they think it's too little, I don't mind continuing to march eastward."

Although Siberia's climate is somewhat extreme, it contains nearly two-thirds of Russia's total resources. For example, timber reserves account for 75% of Russia's entire timber reserves, Lake Baikal's freshwater resources account for 70% of Russia's total freshwater resources, and the entire Siberian region is also a region with huge oil reserves, and the entire oil reserves account for 50% of Russia's oil reserves. , natural gas reserves account for 80%. It can be said that Siberia is a resource-rich and oil-rich region.

Naturally, Yannick would not leave such a good place to others. "They didn't contribute much, so I'd be thankful to get 300,000 square kilometers." Chuikov in the Far East at least handed over all the military supplies supported by the Americans, while Siberia only cut off Moscow's support supplies and retreat.

"yes."

Yannick looked at Marshal Rundstedt. "Your Majesty Marshal, what's going on in Moscow? Have all the ground passages been destroyed?"

"Your Highness, all the passages that can be found have been destroyed."

"In other words, these guys are basically trapped to death?" Why dig the subway so deep when there is nothing to do? If you want to dig a tunnel to escape, you can't dig it, right?

Yannick sighed with some melancholy. "It's really an anticlimax." They mobilized millions of European troops to surround Moscow and want to fight with it. As a result, these guys all hid underground. Of course, if you don't hide in and face the bombardment of nearly 200,000 artillery pieces, there won't even be any residue left.

It felt like a punch to cotton. Although he could also send soldiers into underground fortifications to fight the Soviet army, that would have no meaning other than increasing casualties in vain.

Marshal Rundstedt was very happy. After all, they captured Moscow without any blood. This was a feat that even Napoleon could not achieve back then. However, compared with the great achievements created by His Highness, Napoleon is not worth mentioning. Moreover, Napoleon retreated from Tsarist Russia in disgrace, losing troops and generals along the way.

After discussing some other matters, the meeting ended.
