Chapter 5208: On the Verge of Breaking Out
Something big has happened! Li Rui's face was solemn.
Lin Feng frowned. Li Rui has always been calm and composed. His face looked so ugly at the moment, something big must have happened.
"Will Poland and Russia declare war?" Lin Feng joked. Only this matter can be called a big deal. But logically speaking, the two sides will not declare war. After all, where is the European Union. And this matter itself is a small matter.
Li Rui shook his head.
"It's more serious than this!" Li Rui took a deep breath, "Boss, I just received news that the special plane that Polish President Lech Kaczynski took to commemorate his Polish compatriots in the Katyn Massacre crashed during landing at the airport in the western Russian city of Molensk and died on the spot."
Hiss! Lin Feng felt his brain buzzing.
No way, President Lech Kaczynski was killed! The plane crashed at such a sensitive moment, my God, this is really troublesome, it's really a big deal! Lin Feng could imagine that the relationship between the two sides was already tense. In this case, Polish President Lech Kaczynski crashed and died at an airport in Russian airspace. The outside world would generally suspect that Russia was the one who did it. Even the Polish president's plane was destroyed by a missile.
Although, in this case, as long as Putin did not really want to declare war, he should not do such irrational behavior. But the entire European Union witnessed that the two sides parted unhappily, and even said that both sides left each other with anger.
People have tempers. Especially strong people. The temper is even greater. It is not impossible for Putin to do such a thing! But whether it was Putin or not, Lech Kaczynski crashed in Russia, and the relationship between Poland and Russia will drop to the freezing point. No, I am afraid it has already been the freezing point. Now it should be a volcanic eruption!
Sure enough!
According to Article 131 of the Constitution adopted by Poland in 1997, when the president is absent (death, resignation, impeachment, etc.). The Speaker of the House of Representatives (Lower House) shall temporarily perform the duties of the President of the Republic until the new president is elected. If the speaker of the House of Representatives is also unable to perform his duties, the speaker of the Senate (upper house) will take over. The acting president must announce the date of the presidential election within 14 days, and the election must be held within 60 days of the announcement.
After confirming that President Lech Kaczynski died in a military airport in the Molensk region of Russia, Polish Speaker Komorowski immediately assumed the duties of acting president and became the interim president of Poland, and announced at the time that the presidential election would be held on June 20 next week.
At the same time, Acting President Komorowski announced.
Poland and Russia's relations are frozen indefinitely. As for the revenge of the late Polish President Lech Kaczynski. It will be up to the elected new president to choose whether to retaliate and how to retaliate!
At present, no Russians are welcome to enter Poland! All Russians entering the country are ordered to leave Poland within three days. Otherwise, the Polish government will choose to use force to expel them!
This time, the world was shocked!

The total strength of the entire Polish navy, army and air force is only 188,110 people.
In contrast, Russia's armed forces are mainly composed of the three major services of the army, air force, and navy, and the three arms of strategic missile force, space force, and airborne force. The number of soldiers in the armed forces is 1.134 million. In addition to the regular army, the armed forces also include border defense, internal affairs, security, government communications, civil defense, and railway forces.

In 2005, the navy will be equipped with 2 fourth-generation strategic nuclear submarines.
It can be said that in terms of military strength, Russia completely crushes Poland. Poland is definitely not Russia's opponent, but this time, if the new Polish president decides to avenge the late President Lech Kaczynski and declare war on Russia. With Putin's temper, he will never give in. There will definitely be a big fight. Will the EU not help then? Once the EU intervenes, the matter will become a big deal. Once it becomes a big deal, it may change from a small local friction to a full-scale war.
Once the war starts, it will be an unmanageable situation for both sides. At that time, this bloodbath caused by a ridiculous reason will lead to the outbreak of a world war. This is absolutely impossible! Because once there are heavy casualties between the two countries, it is impossible to end the war unless one side is completely defeated.
The whole world is worried at this moment. For countries around the world, they don’t want to trigger a world war because of Lin Feng’s "Global Elite Force Throne Battle". If that happens, it would be ridiculous!
The United Nations has been dispatched. They began to persuade both sides to remain calm, and at the same time urged the Russian side to immediately find the black box of the plane that President Lech Kaczynski was on, because only the black box can know what happened at the time! If you don’t find this, you don’t know whether the plane crashed due to mechanical failure or was considered destroyed! Only when the black box is found, you will know!
But the problem is that the black box cannot be found. (To be continued...)
