Chapter 959: Decisive Battle (25)

A long time ago, Yannick heard a saying, "In the eyes of some people, casualties are just numbers."

I didn't expect that one day he would become "some people". Ten million is indeed a huge number, but it just feels a bit too much to him, just "a bit". Of course, this is also a disguised form of "out of sight, out of mind". If they are also loyal to the Soviet Union, he may not be able to bear to see one or two of them being executed in front of him; and those who are thousands of miles away, whether they are one million or ten million, just bury them; it can completely eliminate potential threats.

"Tsk, it's true that 'emperors have always been cold-blooded'." Yannick defended himself with self-mockery and continued to tease Austin and Alice.

Seeing that Yannick didn't care about this at all, Queen Elizabeth said nothing and mentioned another thing. "Yannick, little Elizabeth seems to be determined to go to space." The worry in her tone could not be concealed.

"You don't have to worry too much, my dad went up there last time. And it will take many years for little Elizabeth to go to space." The youngest astronaut in the original time and space was the Soviet Union's Gherman Titov, who was one month away from his 26th birthday when he entered the Earth's orbit on the Soviet spacecraft "Vostok 2". It will take another ten years for little Elizabeth to reach this age. "Maybe she gave up in the middle. Even if she can stick to it, it will be much safer to go to space in ten years, and it may be safer than cars and airplanes." "Let's hope so." Queen Elizabeth shook her head helplessly. That night, major German newspapers, radio and other media released news that the American Expeditionary Force was slaughtered by the Soviets. More than a dozen photos were attached to the newspapers, some of which showed a group of American soldiers kneeling in a row and being shot one by one by the Soviet political commissars; some showed piles of corpses like mountains, and a large pool of shocking blood on the ground; and some close-up photos of senior officers of the expeditionary force after being shot. The report also repeatedly emphasized that these American soldiers were massacred by the Soviet army when they were "unarmed" and "bare-handed", and nearly 400,000 soldiers were "slaughtered" without a single one left.

As soon as the report came out, the whole of Europe was shocked.

The behavior of these Soviets can no longer be described as insane, it is simply the behavior of the devil!

The US ambassadors to neutral countries in Europe immediately reported this terrible news back to the country.

"How could this happen!!"

After receiving the news, the US top leaders immediately exploded.

"Stalin is really crazy!!"

"This damn bastard, how dare he!!"

"That's nearly 400,000!!"

Everyone in the conference room gnashed their teeth and their faces were livid.

Nearly 400,000 expeditionary forces! This is a very scary number. In the original time and space, the US military in World War II died a total of more than 180,000 people in various arms in the European, Atlantic, and Mediterranean theaters. And now they have lost nearly 400,000 at once. What they can't accept the most is that these soldiers were not eliminated by the German army, but were shamelessly massacred by their own allies!

But they had no other options except to curse. After all, Moscow was surrounded by the European Allied Forces. They couldn't declare war on Stalin and then go across the ocean to beat him up, right? !

They couldn't even send a telegram to curse because Moscow's radio had been out of contact for many days.

Not only the top US military officials were furious, but the American people were also completely crazy.

The Germans said on the radio that the bombing of the US mainland would stop for half a month so that the American people could pay tribute to the soldiers who were slaughtered without reason. A large number of people took to the streets to protest.

The most intense was Indiana, because President Wilkie, who resigned not long ago, was from Indiana. After leaving office, he returned to his hometown to recuperate.

It was he who sent these soldiers to the Soviet Union, so the people would naturally not let him off easily.

"God!"

After hearing the Germans' broadcast, the local government sent some police forces to deploy near the residence of former President Wilkie, but when they saw thousands of angry people rushing over, some police officers only felt their calves trembling.

"What should we do?"

A patrol officer climbed onto the hood of the police car with a simple loudspeaker. "Everyone..."

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by a thunderous roar.

"Hand over Wendell Wilkie!!"

"Give me back my child's life!!"

"Murderer!!"

"Executioner!!"

"Traitor!!"

The United States is a country with gun freedom. Most of these people carry guns. Seeing that some people have already grasped the gun handles and the anger in their eyes is burning, the patrol officer dared not say a word. He climbed down tremblingly and hid in the police car; seeing this, other police officers also quickly hid in the car.

The people ignored them and rushed straight to Wilkie's house not far away.

The patrol officer hiding in the police car saw a middle-aged man rushing out of Wilkie's house with a shotgun in his hand. Seeing these angry people rushing up to him, he shot into the sky without saying anything.

The patrol officer couldn't help but slap his forehead and cursed softly. "You idiot, you will anger these people even more if you shoot."

Before he finished speaking, intense and intensive gunfire rang out. The middle-aged man was hit by at least hundreds of bullets and turned into a puddle of mud in an instant.

The patrol officer shrank his neck subconsciously. If he had said one more word just now, he would probably have ended up like this, right?

This episode made the people even more angry, and they rushed into Wilkie's house with a roar. The inspector seemed to hear the screams coming from the house. As a policeman, he could only hide in the police car and watch these "thugs" committing crimes. But he could also understand the pain of losing their sons, and he felt that sending an expeditionary force to the Soviet Union was indeed inappropriate. After all, the Soviet Union was a hostile country to capitalism. Can such a country work together?

Moreover, the Soviets openly shot former Secretary of State Cordell Hull and his group before, and the former President Wilkie foolishly chose to cooperate with them.

This time he reaped the consequences, right?

While thinking, thick smoke billowed out of Wilkie's house, and the people left cursing.

"Tsk, now even the cremation fee is saved." Looking at the increasingly fierce fire, a police officer on the side muttered gloatingly, and when he saw the inspector glaring at him, the police officer shrugged. "A distant cousin of mine also joined the expeditionary force."

"..." The inspector didn't know what to say, so he told another police officer to notify the fire department to put out the fire.

But the local fire department also had relatives who joined the expeditionary force and were killed by the Soviets. When they heard that former President Wilkie's house was on fire, they slowly sent out the police. By the time the fire department arrived at the fire scene, Wilkie's house had been burned to ashes.
