The president or the king is the head of a country and has a lot of power in the country, whether he is the president under the German-style parliamentary system, the president under the American-style presidential system, or the king emperor under the constitutional monarchy, he is the supreme leader of the country in name. But even so, they are not able to do whatever they want, in the previous article, we have taken stock of the presidents and kings who have embarked on the road to suicide, and the category we are going to introduce today is relatively strange, it is the president and the king who spy on other countries.
Speaking of this, the first thing we think of is of course the "Russia Gate" that made a lot of noise a few days ago, and the result is not unexpected, Comrade Trump is indeed innocent. But the ones we're going to introduce next are enemy spies who have been hammered.
1. Catherine the Great's husband, Tsar Peter III. This man was known for his unreliability in history, he was cowardly and suspicious, neurotic, sick all day, and his aunt Elizabeth I had no heirs, so he was pulled over to be crown prince. At that time, Russia and Prussia were mortal enemies, but this Peter greatly admired the King of Prussia, Frederick II, that is, Frederick the Great, to the point of many times taking the initiative to provide him with military intelligence, such a "foolish emperor" was obviously unsupported, and half a year after he ascended the throne, his wife Catherine ousted him from power, became emperor herself, and became the only female tsar to receive the title of "emperor".
2. Edward VIII, the uncle of the current Queen of England, the former king of England who did not love the country and the beauty, the lady for whom he gave up the throne was Mrs. Simpson, a woman who had been divorced twice, but Edward VIII fell deeply in love with her. The British government objected to their marriage, and only she was divorced, and most importantly, this woman was a fervent supporter of the Nazis! The British government could not agree to the death, the entire cabinet threatened to resign, and finally Edward VIII, a fool, chose to divorce.
According to American information, the abdicated king and his wife later used their identity and status to continuously transmit information to the Nazis, and the two sides even agreed to sit in the position of the British king after the german victory. Some people think that Edward VIII was actually a double-sided spy, but in short, he was a spy.
3. Charles Taylor. As the former president of Liberia, Charles Taylor is notorious, from warlord to president, from assassinating political enemies to suppressing the people, this man has done all the bad things imaginable, and his private life is chaotic, even more than the average person. The man stepped down in 2003 and was subjected to a series of complaints and sentenced to 50 years in prison by the Hague Tribunal. The United States admitted in 2012 that Charles Taylor had been hired by them to spy on them, not for years, but for decades, starting in the 1980s.
