Assassination was a technical skill, especially the assassination of a heavily protected dignitary, or even a head of state.
Sometimes a bullet could indeed solve a lot of problems, but it would also bring trouble no less than the problem itself.
A Ghost Agent wearing an optical invisibility suit stepped forward, took out a pistol, fired two shots, and then left in stealth mode … This was absolutely not going to work.
Not to mention that after the exposure of optical invisibility, the security departments of various countries installed infrared and sound wave sensors. Optical invisibility was only invisible, but it didn't really disappear. If Ghost Agents really used this brutal method to kill Peter in front of everyone, Carmen would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.
There was no need to investigate who in the world mastered the mature optical invisibility technology. Even if NATO's internal opinions were not unified, they had to act. Wasn't the fuse that ignited the war because of a bullet? At least it was recognized as such.
Therefore, what Monica needed to do was how to package this assassination as an accident …
On the evening of May 23rd, the Chancellor's plane took off from Stockholm International Airport in Sweden and flew to Berlin, which was in the midst of a storm. When passing through Gotland Island, the left engine failed due to aging circuits. The pilot tried to return, but when he changed course, the left engine completely stalled, causing the fuselage to lose power and roll over under the influence of the airflow. The plane eventually crashed in the sea west of Gotland Island. After the rescue team arrived, there were no signs of life in the cabin, and the cause of the failure was confirmed from the recovered black box.
Although some people speculated that it was a murder, there was no evidence to prove it.
The black box couldn't speak, and there were no traces of explosives or missiles on the fuselage. The left engine that was salvaged from the bottom of the sea did have aging circuits. The only doubt was whether this degree of circuit aging was enough to cause an engine failure.
But in any case, the person was dead.
In the news the next day, Jiang Chen saw BBC's follow-up report on the crash.
He was actually quite curious about how Monica managed to package this murder so perfectly, but he didn't specifically call her to ask. Compared to the process, he valued the result more. Peter died in an accident, and that was enough for him.
Compared to Jiang Chen's calmness, Peter's death caused an uproar around the world.
Peter, who was previously elected as the representative of the far-right forces in Frankberg, was strongly elected. Many far-left people photoshopped his profile picture to look like Hitler, thinking that he would bring Frankberg and the world to an abyss of eternal damnation.
When the revolution in Frankberg was in full swing, the leader of the New Choice Party, Peter, died in a plane crash in the Baltic Sea. This bad news was like poison, spreading throughout the extreme right of Frankberg. Although Deputy Prime Minister Ribbeck took over the position of Prime Minister, the new Prime Minister couldn't be compared to Peter in terms of personal prestige or experience.
If he abandoned the former Prime Minister's European Integration Initiative after he came to power, decisively punished the companies involved in the "Seventh Research Institute Incident", reversed the case for the exiled CDU, and then announced a new election, there might still be room for redemption … But this was obviously impossible.
Since he had already chosen this path, he could only walk it to the end. There was no way out left for him. If the New Choice Party lost its ruling position, there was only one fate waiting for them, and that was to sit in prison.
On the rebel army's side, morale was high because of Peter's death. They regarded Peter's death as the dawn of victory. The size of the rebel army was growing day by day, and more and more ambitious young people joined their ranks. Now, not only the people of Bavaria, but the people of the entire Frankberg Federation stood up.
In the confrontation between the army and the people, dangerous ideas began to spread in the army. At the most critical moment of Frankberg, choosing to stand with the people and being a deserter did not seem to be a disgrace, but an honor.
At first, it was only one or two soldiers, then it turned into an entire tank, and in the end, it even evolved into the entire army defecting to the "Frankberg People's Liberation Front." Except for those in power, no one called them deserters. People called them "people who made the right choice" and offered them flowers and blessings.
Just two days after Peter's death, another event that shocked the world happened.
The 10th Armored Division, which suppressed the rebellion in Bavaria, defected on the evening of May 25th.
…
Under the Greek gatehouse on the west side of the King's Square, the lights were bright.
Tanks and armored vehicles lined up neatly on both sides like during a military parade. The soldiers, dressed in military uniforms with rifles on their chests, lined up neatly on the square, looking straight ahead.
It was a curfew, but at this time, the square was surrounded by civilians.
The dense crowd surrounded the square, and the people in the back even stood on the roof of the car.
There were no stones, no Molotov cocktails. People just quietly watched the general on the gatehouse. Their eyes were suspicious, expectant, excited, or calm.
In this square that had witnessed history countless times, the commander of the 10th Armored Division, Kelford, wore his military uniform and stood in front of the media reporters from all over the world and the people of Ber with his chest full of medals.
He raised his head, not to prove the merits he had obtained, but because he firmly believed that the choice he made was honorable and worthy of the flag behind him.
In a sonorous tone, he announced to the people of Munich, Frankberg, and the world.
"Chaos, poverty, corruption, disregard for human rights, and now the war. Look at what Peter has brought to us in the past two years? Not only did he not fulfill his campaign promise, but he is leading our Federation to division, to the abyss! "
"We can't go on like this!"
"Please allow me to refuse to use words like surrender and betrayal. The soldiers of the Frankberg Federation have never betrayed their people. When they ordered us to shoot at the people, we refused, and then stood on the side of the people. We just made the most correct choice, the choice any Frankberg would make. "
"The 10th Armored Division will not join the resistance, but from today on, we will fight for the same reason."
"After the victory of the revolution, I will voluntarily resign. If I am guilty, feel free to try me. But before that, I will use my identity as a soldier to bring this country back to the right direction! "
The sound of cheers rang through the night sky and surrounded the entire square.
The soldiers marched in unison, and the tracks of the tanks began to turn. There were no more protesters forming a human wall, and there were no more Molotov cocktails being thrown. People consciously stepped back to make way and watched their soldiers step onto the right battlefield …
Tonight, the world would be shocked by Frankberg.
