Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

"Oh? They surrendered?" Yannick nodded with satisfaction after receiving the news that senior officials of the Virginia state government had surrendered. "Since they are so understanding, I will be generous. If the lieutenant governor wants to, he can stay and be promoted to governor. But it depends on whether he has the ability and let them be responsible for collecting private weapons in the state. If he can't do this, Well, get out of here as soon as possible." Of course, even if that guy is promoted to governor, the second-in-command will still be sent by Germany, and most of the real power will be in the hands of these second-in-commands.

"As for those troops..." Yannick pondered whether to throw all these guys into a prisoner of war camp, but then gave up the idea and ordered. "The army will hand over all weapons. Those soldiers will be disbanded on the spot and go back to their homes. But before going back, everyone must write a guarantee: Promise that they will not hide weapons secretly, and if they find others hiding weapons, they will actively report it." After all, this was the first state to voluntarily surrender, and it wanted to set an example for other states. Seeing that if you surrender obediently, you won't be sent to a prisoner of war camp and you won't be embarrassed. The troops from other states should be very tempted, right?

Marshal Rundstedt asked worriedly. "Your Highness, just let them go back. What if they join the guerrillas or other resistance organizations?" Wouldn't that be letting the tiger go back to the mountain? "Do you want to screen them first before releasing them?"

Yannick couldn't help but smile. "How to screen? By what standards?" Although polygraphs were already available at this time, they were not very reliable; even the most advanced polygraphs in later generations only had an accuracy of 78%, and they could not even be used. Use of litigation evidence.

Even if the accuracy of the lie detector reaches 100%, how long will it take to test hundreds of thousands of people?

"If he joins the guerrillas, can he still support his family? If he wants to implicate the entire family or the entire village or town, then just let him join."

This is a bit like the ancient law of sitting together. If one person breaks the law, the people around him will also be implicated. Although unreasonable, it is useful and can play a role in mutual supervision. Because people are selfish, afraid that others will implicate themselves, and will prevent others from harming their own interests for their own sake.

And now there is no such thing as "political correctness" that is inexplicable or even ridiculous. If you dare to resist, you, your family or your village will be killed without hesitation.

Looking back on later generations, citizens of certain Western countries joined a notorious terrorist organization. When the terrorist organization was defeated, these guys returned to their own countries openly. There are more than 2,000 extremists and radicals who have returned to France alone. The French government's measure is to charge and try individual extremists. As for the rest of the radicals, there are no good measures.

Virginia's surrender was like a set of dominoes. After the first one fell, the ones behind it couldn't stop at all.

North Carolina first asked for help from Virginia. After hearing that Virginia had surrendered, it had no intention of continuing to resist. The European coalition easily defeated South Carolina and North Carolina. The state border defense line of Indiana breaks into North Carolina. Previously, most of the defenders in North Carolina were concentrated near these borders. After the defense line was breached, the European coalition forces rampaged through North Carolina like no one was in a deserted state, capturing one city after another.

The neighboring states of Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia and Maryland also surrendered one after another.

By the end of 1943, the European Allied Forces had captured nearly half of the United States.

It can be said to be overwhelming.

Although they sometimes encountered some resistance, in the face of the powerful European coalition forces, these resistance forces were easily defeated like an egg hitting a stone.

There were also many soldiers and civilians who did not want to be slaves to the subjugation of the country and started guerrilla warfare.

Not to mention that the terrain in the United States is not very suitable for fighting guerrillas. In addition, Germany has accumulated a lot of anti-guerrilla experience from battlefields such as Poland and the Soviet Union. The German counter-guerrilla forces understand the terrain better than the American guerrillas, are better at winning people's hearts than the guerrillas, are more cunning than the guerrillas, and have better equipment than the guerrillas. How can such a guerrilla war continue?

In this way, the frontline troops attacked the city and captured the territory with a devastating force, and the rear cleared away the stragglers in an orderly manner. The battle situation was quite optimistic.

In the autumn of 1944, the European coalition finally captured all states in the continental United States, and the regular war came to an end.

The whole of Europe was caught up in the celebration of victory, but Yannick and the senior officials knew that although the regular war was over, the security war was far from over, and it might take a long time.

In the spring of 1945, Yannick became emperor at the Berlin Palace, and Pope Pius XII came to crown him.

For a long time, kings in various European countries have needed to be recognized by the church, and emperors must be crowned by the pope to be considered orthodox.

Moreover, the pope does not move easily. When a European king is crowned, the local archbishop only needs to come. Unless you are the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, the pope will attend, and these emperors must go to the Vatican, to the pope's territory, kneel in front of the pope, and have the pope put a crown on you. Only then do you have legitimacy. This It means the divine right of kings.

However, in the early 19th century, when Napoleon established the First French Empire and held a coronation ceremony at Notre Dame de Paris, a scene that shocked the world occurred: Napoleon not only refused to kneel to the Pope, but also snatched the crown from the Pope's hand and put it directly on his own on his head and crowned the queen himself.

Napoleon could be said to be the first emperor who did not take the Pope seriously. Later, Queen Victoria of England and William I of Germany were not crowned through the Pope. This also means that the Pope has ceased to exist in name only, the king has absolute power, and the two have officially parted ways.

Although Yannick was not very interested in religion, considering the large number of believers around the world and his cooperative relationship with the Holy See, he still allowed Pius XII to preside over the coronation ceremony, but he did not have to kneel. Pius XII didn't mind kneeling to have him crowned, but Yannick had to lie on the ground to receive the crown, which was even more outrageous.

In the end Yannick decided to sit on the throne and Pius XII crowned him standing.

The moment the crown was placed on Yannick's head, "Long live your Majesty!" erupted inside and outside the palace, resounding throughout the sky and reaching into the sky.

In the autumn of 1945, Little Hepburn officially became Queen of the Empire and gave birth to twins the following year.

In 1946, the European Union announced its space program.

In 1948, Prince Oscar and his wife shocked the world by setting foot on the moon.

In 1960, Yannick announced that the government would become a constitutional monarchy.

In 1970, on his 60th birthday, Yannick announced that he would abdicate and retire, passing the throne to his son. After ten years of reform preparation, the power of the emperor has been greatly weakened, and the people have gradually accepted the constitutional monarchy.

Yannick, relieved of his heavy burden, traveled with Heben to recuperate.

Complete book.

(I have been writing this for a year and a half without realizing it. Thank you all book friends for your support and love.

The original intention of writing this book was because I like to read German-type novels, and I have been reading them since "Resurrection". As a result, almost no other great writers have been able to write them to the end, and most of them were dropped halfway through. It was so heartwarming to read. .

Originally, I wanted to write a story line about uniting with the Ming Dynasty to conquer the world, and after finishing this book, I would continue to write a story about traveling through the Ming Dynasty; but in order to avoid lightning, I had to block all of Asia.

Although there are still several chapters that have been blocked, fortunately, I managed to finish it smoothly.

I have to say that not having an outline is really troublesome. For example, the European Union. After writing it, I found out that the Holy Roman Empire can actually be restored, which may be better than writing about the European Union. As a result, the European Union is not easy to write in detail, so I can only go through it in a hurry; in addition, there are There are many problems of this kind and that.

Without further ado, thank you all the book lovers again for your support.

If it’s quick, I’ll upload new books next week, urban ones. As for Chuan Ming, which I originally planned to write about, I recently read "The Ming Dynasty 1566" again and felt that what I wrote was just a bunch of scum, so I might as well forget it. )
