Truman's death caused an international uproar and made Puerto Rico, a small island colony that no one cared about, suddenly become the world's focus. The U.S. government was completely furious this time, and they used all the planes, tanks, and aircraft carriers that could come in handy to surround the area. The government forces in San Juan, backed by the United States, regained lost ground step by step, pushing Puerto Rico's independence party to the brink of extinction.

Since the people of Puerto Rico liked to die, Albert added another handful of firewood to boil the pot of water thoroughly. The secret deal between Torresola, the leader of the slain Independence Party, and the Soviets was exposed, and all eyes were on the two superpowers, the Soviet Union and the United States. Coupled with the fact that the previous deal between the Soviet Union and Belgium was disrupted by the United States, anyone who knows the inside story may think that this is an act of retaliation that the Soviets can instigate.

It's really feng shui in turns, one moment the United States mocked the Soviet Union, and the next moment it was slapped in the face alive. Eventually, the Puerto Rican Independence Party was completely destroyed by the severe military attacks of the Americans, and all the Independence Party fighters were sent to prisoner of war camps for reform. As one of the top Independents executives who was sent to the gallows lamented, "It was Torresola's reckless actions that ruined the whole of Puerto Rico." "All blame the defeat of the struggle on Torresola's head. Suddenly, Torresola went from being a national hero to a clown in Puerto Rico.

It was later established that Torresola's assassination was entirely personal and had not been instigated or instigated by other countries. However, the revenge of the United States was not over, and the burning flame of hatred looked at the seemingly innocent red polar bear cautiously. They, especially Vice President Alben William Buckley, who took over Truman's position, were paranoid that the Soviet Union had caused the tragedy, and the seeds of revenge were quietly planted in the hearts of the American leadership.

Waiting for the blood of war to be watered, and then take root.

"The Americans were miserable this time, and instead of being defeated by the Third Reich, they capsized in the gutter and fell into the hands of the Puerto Rican Independence Party." Albert and Prime Minister Ashir can finally be outsiders and stay out of the gossip.

The prime minister, of course, was completely unaware of Albert's plan, echoing that "the United States would not have believed the Soviets had not encouraged the Puerto Rican Independence Party to do so." In this way, the conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union will intensify. ”

"But if you think about it, isn't this also an opportunity for arms dealers? Although the two countries are generally in a tie with conventional weapons, the United States, which has nuclear weapons, still has a slight advantage, and I think it will be wonderful if the two countries were to go to war. Albert had already begun to hint to Prime Minister Arshir that sooner or later there would be a war between the United States and the Soviet Union.

"Could it be that the United States will attack the Soviets on Germany?" The prime minister's first thought was that the European region bordering the Soviet Union, and if there was a real war, West Germany and Belgium would not be able to stand alone.

"Although this is a possibility, I don't think it will be pre-emptive on the Eastern European side." Albert gave his own explanation, "There are three areas where the United States has a direct confrontation with the Soviet Union, one is East Germany and West Germany, but the Bering Strait, but joining the US military really crosses the Bering Strait, which means a war between the two superpowers, so I don't think the Americans will be so stupid." Most likely, it is the Korean Peninsula. ”

"The Korean Peninsula? Are you saying that the U.S. military will fight the Soviet Union on the Korean Peninsula? "Although the United States and the Soviet Union have each established their own regimes on the Korean Peninsula, if there is a real fight, there is a northeastern part of the Chinese region in between." ”

Albert smiled, picked up the pen and walked to the map, drew an arrow from Siberia to the Korean Peninsula, then threw the pen away, and said to the prime minister, "Does Prime Minister Ahir know that the defeat of the Chinese Chiang Kai-shek government has been decided, and a regime with a tendency to ** is about to be established?" At that time, the Soviet army will take advantage of the northeast to go south, and with its strong strength, it will be able to fight a tough battle with the Soviet Union on the Korean Peninsula. ”

"His Highness's assumption is really ......" Ahir wanted to say something sensational, but considering the mood of the crown prince, he changed his words, "It's too shocking." ”

Albert also knew that Arshir was perfunctory to him, but Albert did not argue with him, anyway, by June next year, everything would develop according to the original historical script.

"Albon William Barkley finally got his wish and became the president of the United States, but his good times were short-lived, two years at most." Albert was well aware that Eisenhower's popularity in the United States was quite high at this time, and there was a strong call for him to be president.

As early as 1947, a poll showed that both parties would nominate Eisenhower as their party's presidential candidate if he wanted to, but at that time, Eisenhower considered that he was not deeply rooted in politics and business, and said that he had no intention of entering politics, but the support for him continued unabated.

The forces that support him have a lot to offer. According to a US magazine, Rockefeller, Morgan, Shebang, Mellon, and other big business groups have taken a fancy to him because his policy of expanding arms and warfare and expanding abroad after the war is in line with the interests of big business groups. The first to nominate him was Thomas John Watson, managing director of International Business Machines. This man is very influential in the American financial community, having served as a director of the Morgan Guarantee Trust. He was also supported by Aldrich, chairman of Chase Bank, the head of the Rockefeller consortium, and Perkins, chairman of Fair Life.

"But two years is enough to do a lot, isn't it, Your Highness." Prime Minister Achill got up to say goodbye to Albert, and he was going back to Brussels City Hall to take care of business, leaving Albert alone in the empty Brussels Royal Palace. Albert reflected on his years of fighting and working with Truman, and in the end he only sighed to remember the lost rival and hero.

Albert, who did not like the cold smell, walked out of the palace alone and walked aimlessly through the streets, thinking about the direction of the situation. When he came back to his senses, he found himself standing in front of the Swan Cafe.

Albert did not go in, for he saw GreenWill already sitting in front of the store, still holding a book in his hand. When he saw Albert, he closed his book and walked up to him and said, "I'm going to Vietnam, take care of yourself." ”

Greene Weir, who had been planning to leave for Vietnam for a long time, had postponed his departure due to the events in Britain a while ago, and this time he had come to say goodbye to Albert.

"Take care, brother." Albert said softly. This was the first time Albert worried about his brother's safety, even more so than when he went to East Germany, after all, it was a war zone, the situation was changing rapidly, and Albert did not dare to bet that nothing would happen.

"Isn't it just a trip to Vietnam? It's not life and death. GreenWill said with a smile, and he gave Albert a light punch, "Just play your role as the crown prince, and I'll take care of the rest." Don't worry, when the time comes, I will use the capacity of a Belgian special agent to contact the top leaders of the Viet Cong, and go to the designated place to conduct transactions, and the Viet Cong, who are in urgent need of weapons and equipment, will definitely be deceived. All you need to do is do the next raid. ”

"Hmm." In front of his brother, who had paid too much for Belgium, Albert was speechless at this moment, and could only hope that his plan could be realized as soon as possible.

"To hell with the damn Soviet Union and the United States, Europe needs a peaceful environment. Instead of being engaged in a miasma by a group of careerists. Greenwill, who had witnessed the horrors of World War II, said sharply, which is why he agreed with the Albert plan. In exchange for the smallest losses, peace in Belgium, and in Europe as a whole. Even if it is difficult, even if it is unscrupulous.

"I'm leaving." GreenWill smiled and waved his hand, leaving Albert with a vague outline of his back before leaving, and he said goodbye to Albert in a hoarse voice, "You can come back and invite me to dinner then, if I can come back alive." ”

"You must come back." Albert whispered. Greenwell paused for a moment, then walked briskly forward, never looking back.
