Chapter 664: Heavenly Punishment of Traitors
Subjects in America? Sheffield's face changed slightly. With such a queen, why would the Romanov dynasty not be in danger of extinction? Not to mention sophisticated communication, this is simply something that only a rural peasant woman could say.
However, in this case, the slave owner, out of the restraint of a monopoly capitalist, did not refute this ignorant woman. Anyway, the queen would definitely be shot, and this arrogant woman was not on his list of people to be saved.
As outstanding representatives of Russian descent, Ogle and Natalia blessed the Russian imperial family. Sheffield went aside and focused on the four princesses who came with Empress Nicholas.
The youngest Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna, the youngest daughter of Nicholas II, was a well-known figure, and many people used her identity to deceive people after her death. The most famous of them was Anna Anderson, who insisted that she pretended to be dead among the corpses of her family and entourage, and then a kind guard noticed that she was still alive among the corpses, and she escaped with his help.
At least ten women, including Anna Anderson, have claimed to be Anastasia. Other lesser-known claimants include Nadezhda Ivanovna Vassilva and Eugenia Smith.
There were also two young women who claimed to be Maria and Anastasia, saying that they were taken in by a priest in the Ural Mountains, where they became nuns until their death. Their names on the tombstones were Maria and Anastasia Nikolaevna.
Sheffield felt that this was all for money. He was not afraid of making money, but this time he was really planning to intercept a Grand Duchess as a preparation for the emergence of the Soviets.
If you have a Grand Duchess in your hands, you can unite the hearts of the Belarusian group. It is like having a trump card in advance when facing the most powerful opponent in the future. It is not a bad thing no matter how you think about it.
This matter must be carefully planned, and Sheffield must come up with a suitable story, because Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna, born in 1901, is no longer a child who can be easily fooled.
Without a complete story, it would be difficult to pass the test of the person involved. The story must be reasonable and logical, and it would be best if it could be based on loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. In fact, the story of the Decembrists can be used for some processing.
At least delay until the outbreak of World War II, and then announce that Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna is alive with strong evidence. In this way, Nicholas II's family would only know that their daughter is alive during the World War but could not see her. Of course, they would not be able to see her after the war. Nicholas II's family would only have this one heir in their hands.
"Come back to Texas with me and get ready. I have something to discuss with Gail." Sheffield was planning the scene of punishing the traitor, so he decided to leave Washington immediately and find a friend to make plans.
After all, it was a move against the royal family of a country. Although Sheffield should not be afraid of anyone in the United States, for the sake of safety, he still had to find someone to discuss it.
"Gail? What did you discuss with him?" Natalia was a little confused. Why was the person her husband wanted to discuss with so unreliable?
"You are wrong. When it comes to discussing certain matters, Gail is the most reliable person." Sheffield said calmly, "Instead of McHale who seems very reliable. Just let your brother stay here. I hate Rasputin."
Any man with a family hates people like Rasputin. If Sheffield were Nicholas II, Rasputin's head would have been shot into a pulp by bullets.
Leaving Washington with Natalia, the slave owner soon landed at Oak Manor, and he was making up excuses along the way. A suitable excuse to fool Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna. A plan gradually became clear in his mind, which was to assassinate Rasputin at an appropriate occasion, when Rasputin and Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna were present at the same time.
Then it was natural for Nicholas II's youngest daughter to disappear. The best reason for this process was that there was an accident in the assassination. The assassin was not Nicholas II's youngest daughter, but was also present. After successfully killing Rasputin, they treated Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna as a hot potato.
It was time for Sheffield to step in and explain to the Grand Duchess that it was a noble from the Russian Empire who contacted her to help kill the traitor who was causing chaos in the country. But the identity of the noble from the Russian Empire had to be kept secret, because there was no such aristocrat.
After being detained for several months, when the Russian Empire lost contact with the outside world, he announced that he had found the missing Grand Duchess. He wanted to make the story come true, as Nicholas II's daughter would not be able to return anyway.
In this way, when Nicholas II and his family died after the war, Sheffield held the only heir to the Romanov family.
Of course, there are still some details to add. Sheffield can only discuss how to assassinate Rasputin with his friend Gail, who is considered to be a hopeless person by outsiders.
"Why are you looking for me?" Gail took a deep breath and said with a smile, "I'm in Puerto Rico, enjoying the sunshine and beaches, and there are countless beauties of all skin colors and temperaments, but you always come to me to do bad things."
"If you had worked half as hard as McHale, you would have been much more successful than him today." Sheffield was so angry that he almost pointed at Gale's nose and roared.
"So what?" Gail shrugged disapprovingly, showing his outstanding temperament of being fearless and not afraid of boiling water. "Isn't it because I can't beat you? I am no worse than Michael now, and my life is even easier. But William, you have to think carefully. This is a favorite of the Russian imperial family. I heard that he is deeply trusted by the emperor and his wife. This matter is very serious. With your personality, you won't do this just for the request of some Russian nobles."
"That's not necessarily true. The Russian Empire is so large. If I succeed in this, my business in the Russian Empire will be very smooth in the future." Sheffield still concealed something. He only discussed with Gale how to assassinate him, but did not tell him the reason for the assassination. "How confident do you think I am in doing this in the United States?"
"Isn't it obvious? As long as you can avoid the Russian guards, it won't be difficult. Let's put it this way, if you and God do the same thing at the same time, I believe your success rate is higher than his." Gale paused for a moment and said, "To be safe, I still suggest starting in Texas. The closer to your base, the more successful you will be. Of course, this also has disadvantages. The possibility of you clearing your suspicion is very low."
"No, my friend, I don't think so. In fact, think about it the other way around. It is precisely because Texas has many Russian immigrants that I have more reason to link the assassination to the nobles in the Russian Empire, right?" Sheffield lit a cigarette and said, "The world-famous story of the Decembrists proves that the Russian nobles were idealistic. Although the stories about the wives of these Russian nobles who protected their love are more widely spread."
Many wives of the Decembrists voluntarily abandoned their superior and wealthy aristocratic lives, left the big cities, and chose to follow their husbands into a long life of exile.
"You have enough manpower to carry out the assassination!" Gale frowned and said, "Even if you succeed in assassinating Rasputin, the adverse impact will cause the United States to suffer tremendous pressure. Such a distinguished delegation was assassinated in the United States. The pressure is unimaginable, and you may not be able to bear it. How do you plan to deal with it?"
Sheffield had already smoked the last of his cigarette and said lightly, "So I plan to use a black man to assassinate him. External criticism will not affect us in the end. If it is a black man, it just proves that the Democratic Party's advocacy of strict control over black people is a very correct thing to do."
Gale was stunned, his expression changed and he said, "Using black people is very consistent with your usual style. It seems that after the assassination, the subsequent public opinion attacks will target the black community again."
"What else?" Sheffield laughed. "This is the best way to prevent the assassination from having a negative impact on the United States. After the assassination, there will be accusations from various countries, and the federal government can take advantage of the situation to suppress another wave of blacks. It may even be beneficial to the Democratic Party's mid-term elections. You should know the character of the Yankees. These Yankees look down on us, but they can't wait to lick the butts of Europeans. As long as the Europeans have some complaints about this assassination, hehe, I can imagine the Yankees will be as if their father has died."
People just like to be furious at groups that they are slightly familiar with. For example, when Western Europeans were dealing with the Peace Christians a hundred years later, they kept their mouths shut for fear of being accused of racism. But they were not so polite to Eastern Europe. The famous Polandball comics on the Internet are just an example of Eastern Europeans in Western Europe, and are far from representing anything.
"That makes sense!" Gale nodded in understanding. The Yankees looked down on the Dixies, and vice versa.
While the slave owners were planning to punish traitors for the sake of Imperial Russia, the Imperial Russian delegation, which had stayed in Washington for a few days, began to inspect major cities in the United States. Since it was an embassy, they must have come with a certain diplomatic mission, and it was not just the Queen and her family who were traveling.
Texas was the last stop of the Russian embassy and was also the most important one. Sheffield was given half a month to prepare.
