Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 1015 Confiscation (5)

"Isn't it too cruel?" Queen Elizabeth asked unbearably as she listened to the host on the radio impassionedly and righteously criticizing the militants who refused to surrender. These arguments are fine for deceiving ordinary people, but these high-level officials know it all.

"Is it cruel?" Yannick smiled disapprovingly. "I wonder if the British Empire also slaughtered the aboriginal people of North America back then. It was so merciless. And the aboriginal people of Australia were almost wiped out by you. Would anyone think it was cruel at that time?" Her face became a little embarrassed. , Yannick no longer gives examples one by one. "Cruelty is a bit cruel. But for the sake of future stability, this is necessary. If you think about it, if guns were not allowed, our soldiers would have to take many black shots while patrolling the streets."

The best example is the US military in later generations. In 2003, the United States bypassed the United Nations Security Council and mobilized a total of 250,000 troops with the United Kingdom to launch a military attack on Iraq on the grounds that Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq illegally held weapons of mass destruction.

Under the attack of the US-British coalition forces, the Iraqi army hardly organized any decent resistance, and there was really no decent counterattack at all. Less than 20 days after the war started, the leading US military troops invaded Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. What awaited them was not stubborn resistance, but an undefended city. All senior executives, including Saddam, were missing. , leaving the whole city in chaos. The people in Baghdad were looting government agencies, museums, banks and Saddam's official residence, and no one paid any attention to the Americans.

On the 26th day after the war started, the President of the United States announced the end of the main military operations of the coalition forces in Iraq, and the coalition forces had taken control of the entire territory of Iraq.

According to data released by the U.S. military, during these 26 days, the number of U.S. military casualties was 262, of which 139 were killed in action. Among the dead soldiers, 123 died in various accidents, including accidental fire by the U.S. military itself. The British army suffered 33 casualties. It is no exaggeration to say that the US military directly crushed the Iraqi army.

At the end of 2011, most of the main US military forces stationed in Iraq withdrew, leaving only a small number of officers to train the Iraqi army. In the past nine years, a total of 4,869 US troops have been killed in Iraq. These casualties were basically caused by anti-US armed forces in Iraq. What these anti-American armed forces are best at is car bombs, roadside bombs, suicide attacks, sneaking in among ordinary people, etc., which makes the U.S. military very difficult to guard against. And even if they want to eliminate these anti-American armed forces, the biggest difficulty they encounter is how to distinguish various types of "enemies" from ordinary people.

The land area and population of the United States are several times that of Iraq. Unless their guns are completely confiscated, Yannick cannot imagine how many casualties it will cause to his own army. "The guns must be confiscated, and there is no room for negotiation. If they would rather die than surrender, then we can only ask them to die." Fortunately, we are not in the Internet age where information is flying all over the sky. A civilian was accidentally killed here, and the whole world Everyone knew it immediately; and no Virgin Mary or White Lotus jumped out to scream.

At this time, Marshal Rundstedt and Reinhard came to report the matter. "Your Highness, the Virginia government has sent a special envoy to contact our frontline troops and wants to negotiate with us."

Virginia, located in northern North Carolina, is one of the original 13 states of the United States.

"Negotiation?" Yannick had a look of disdain on his face. "Negotiations require bargaining chips. I don't see what bargaining chips they have now to negotiate terms. Tell them that they can only surrender obediently. If they dare to resist, it will be a dead end." He said and looked at Reinhard. "Have you grasped the movements of those high-level officials in the U.S. state government? Where are the high-level officials in the Virginia state government now?"

Reinhard said respectfully. "Your Highness, they are hiding in a countryside near Richmond (the capital of Virginia)." Because the German army used thunderous means to kill the top government officials in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia; The top brass were so frightened that they fled their original fortifications, and most of them hid in the surrounding countryside.

Unfortunately, the German intelligence network has covered the entire United States a long time ago, and there are many informants in these government departments. No matter where these guys hide, they cannot escape the grasp of the Germans.

"Give them a day to think about it. If there is no news after one day, then they will be of no use." The frontline troops are about to attack North Carolina, and then Virginia. Killing them now can cause chaos to them.

"yes!"

Soon, the news reached the German frontline headquarters in South Carolina and informed the special envoy sent by the Virginia high-level officials; the special envoy went back and conveyed it to the Virginia high-level officials.

"What?! Let us surrender obediently?!" Upon hearing the news brought by the special envoy, the governor of Virginia gritted his teeth angrily and trembled all over. Before, they had fantasized about negotiating with the Germans in an attempt to retain their rights. As a result, the Germans drove the envoy back without even listening to the conditions they proposed. "These damn Germans bully people too much! They are not afraid..." But after thinking about it, they didn't have any trump card that could make the Germans afraid. Instead, the Germans' various methods made them feel deeply afraid. "Can you contact several surrounding states to jointly resist the Germans?!"

"It's easier said than done." The deputy governor on the side couldn't help but smile bitterly. Similar to the vice president of the federal government, one of the importance of the lieutenant governor is that once the governor becomes vacant during his term of office, such as resignation, removal, death or illness, the lieutenant governor will take over the governor's duties. Another role of the lieutenant governor is to serve as president of the state Senate, a role similar to that of the vice president. Therefore, in the state government, the lieutenant governor has a very special role; he is not only the second-ranking administrative official after the governor, but also the speaker of the legislative Senate, straddling the two major agencies of executive and legislative. Therefore, although the deputy governor has the word "deputy", he is not a subordinate of the governor, but is just a lower level than the governor.

He felt that the governor's proposal was simply fantasy. If other states wanted to unite to fight against the enemy, wouldn't they have formed a new government long ago? Just like them, aren't they secretly contacting the Germans to get some benefits? If the benefits from the Germans were enough, I'm afraid they would have welcomed the Germans with singing and dancing.

Now that we see no benefit from the Germans, we want to unite with others to fight against the Germans. How can such a good thing happen? Even if they unite, they will only be at odds with each other. Maybe they both want to use the other party as cannon fodder to preserve their own strength.

But in the face of the powerful German army, what's the use of preserving that little strength?

"Perhaps we should surrender as soon as possible." That way, we might be able to save our wealth and life.
