Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

The German flying bombs easily destroyed the radar antennas of two radar stations, which alarmed the top officials of the Virginia state government. The radar was destroyed and we could only rely on the visual warning of ground personnel. If something went wrong, wouldn't it be doomed?

The lieutenant governor had an ominous premonition in his mind. Maybe the Germans had already mastered their hiding place, and maybe the next time they launched flying bombs, they would target this place and blow them all up into the sky. The deputy governor's face turned even pale when he thought of this. "Everyone, I'm afraid we have to make a decision immediately! Commander Harris, what do you think?!"

"..." Commander Harris was also frightened by the accuracy of the German flying bombs, and was also worried that this place would become the next target of the German army. Moreover, our own side had already lost air supremacy. Now we even had no radar, and we were even less able to grasp the German air movements. This was quite detrimental to our own operations. But he was unwilling to surrender like this; so he was still a little hesitant.

Seeing that Commander Harris was undecided, the lieutenant governor advised again. "Commander Harris, you want to fight a fierce battle with the Germans, but what if you anger the Germans and they want to kill them all?" Not to mention getting better terms, I'm afraid they may not even be able to survive. Save.

At this moment, the staff officer who had just left not long ago ran back. "Commander, a telegram was sent from the temporary headquarters of the North Carolina garrison. I hope that for the sake of the cold, we can send reinforcements to fight with them against the Germans." It is indeed a cold war. Now the Germans and Virginia are the only ones left Lower North Carolina, if the Germans captured North Carolina, they would be their next target!

The governor said loudly, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. "Commander Harris, everyone, we should support North Carolina!"

The lieutenant governor immediately objected. "No, that will only make our soldiers sacrifice in vain!"

The governor said dissatisfied. "The duty of a soldier is to protect our home and country. Now that the enemy has reached our doorstep, do we have to hide in bed and watch the country fall?"

The lieutenant governor snorted coldly. "Defending our country does not mean letting them die blindly!"

"..." The governor hated this guy who was against him, but there was nothing he could do.

As mentioned earlier, although the lieutenant governor has the word "deputy", he is not a subordinate of the governor. The lieutenant governor, like the governor, is an elected official and also serves as the president of the Senate. Therefore, the governor does not have the power to remove the lieutenant governor. However, when the lieutenant governor becomes vacant during his term, the governor often appoints the lieutenant governor. Therefore, the governor only has the power to appoint the lieutenant governor and does not have the power to remove him.

Just listen to the lieutenant governor continue. "And whether the soldiers were allowed to die just to protect their country or for the selfish interests of some people remains to be discussed."

The governor was unhappy after hearing his strange words. "what do you mean?!"

The lieutenant governor sneered. "What do I mean? Those who understand will understand. What would the soldiers think if they knew that some people let them die in vain for their own benefit?"

In this way, the two of them started arguing with each other, and in the end they almost got into a fight. The people around them quickly discouraged the two of them to prevent them from fighting.

"Anyway, I am firmly opposed to the reinforcement of North Carolina!" After leaving these words, the lieutenant governor directly waved his hands and left the meeting room.

The staff officer who came to report looked embarrassed and waited for Commander Harris's reply. "Commander, over there in North Carolina..."

Commander Harris waved his hand impatiently. "Call them back and tell them we will discuss the outcome as soon as possible."

"Yes." The staff officer left the conference room. The governor wanted to persuade Commander Harris, but saw him also stand up. "Mr. Governor, I'm a little tired. I have to go back and take a rest. I'll talk about anything tomorrow." After saying that, he quickly walked out of the conference room without waiting for the governor's reaction, leaving only the governor sighing.

The next day, everyone gathered in the conference room again. Continuing to discuss the issue of whether to reinforce North Carolina, the governor strongly requested to send troops to reinforce, while the lieutenant governor firmly opposed and refused to give in to anyone. Commander Harris was still indecisive and in a dilemma.

At this moment, a harsh air raid siren suddenly sounded outside. A soldier ran in in a panic and reported loudly. "It's the German fleet! There are hundreds of them!"

"What?!" Everyone was shocked and fled out of the conference room and hid in the nearby woods.

If the Germans didn't know in advance, this place would definitely be considered safe. No matter how many German bombs they had, they couldn't be wasted in an inconspicuous grove for no reason.

Soon, a huge fleet of aircraft flew over the town.

"The target is in the woods southwest of the town. The first and second squadrons are responsible for bombing the woods, and the others are with me to bomb the town." After all, the intelligence is not real-time, and no one knows whether those targets have temporarily hid in the town. inside.

Seeing dozens of planes flying over the woods, the people hiding in the woods were so frightened that they did not even dare to breathe. "Have we been discovered?" Everyone who was praying frantically in their hearts for the German planes to leave quickly saw the planes in the sky begin to swoop down one after another.

"God! The Germans are going to drop bombs!" They didn't care to think about why the Germans found this place so accurately. Staying here would be a dead end, and everyone rushed out of the woods. Unfortunately, before I could even take a few steps, the bomb had already fallen into the woods. Several fireballs soared into the sky from the woods. The trees fell to the ground one after another in the powerful shock wave. The raging fire instantly Covering a large forest.

The nearby town was also in flames.

After the German planes left, a group of people walked out of the woods in the southeast of the town. There were the deputy governor, the deputy commander of the garrison and others. It was not that they had the foresight to hide here, but based on the experience of high-level officials in Washington being blamed, the two groups hid separately.

"Oh God!" Looking at the burning grove, everyone's faces turned pale. If they had hid there, they would have turned into a pile of charcoal.

The lieutenant governor sighed helplessly. "What am I saying? The Germans are not to be trifled with. If you had listened to me yesterday and surrendered to the Germans, there would have been no such thing. Deputy Commander, it seems we have to make a decision, otherwise there will be a wave of bombs. It will fall on top of our heads.”

The deputy commander was obviously much more decisive than Commander Harris. Hearing what the deputy governor said, he immediately nodded in agreement.

In this way, the remaining people easily reached an agreement and contacted the German army to express their willingness to surrender.
