Chapter 1051 - Earthquake

Translator: _Min_  Editor: Rainystars

Assassination was a skilled job, especially the assassination of a heavily protected dignitary, a head of state.

Sometimes a bullet could solve a lot of problems. However, it would also bring about more problems that were no less than the problems it solved.

Ghost Agents would wear the optical invisibility gear. Then, fire a few bullets… Definitely wouldn’t work.

Not to mention the exposure of optical invisibility would cause the security departments of all countries to add infrared and acoustic wave sensing devices. Optical invisibility was just invisible to the naked eye and not a true-sense of disappearance. If the Ghost Agents really used brute force for this assassination under everyone’s watch, Carmen would laugh even in his dreams.

There was no need to investigate who mastered optical invisibility technology. Even if NATO didn’t form a consensus in its organization, they would be forced to make a move.

The trigger for the First World War was because of a bullet, at least that’s how it was recognized in history.

So what Monica needed to do was to make this assassination appear as an accident…

On the evening of May 23rd, the Frankberg Prime Minister took off from the Stockholm International Airport in Sweden. When passing through Gotland, the left engine failed due to the wear and tear of the circuit, and the pilot tried to return to the airport. However, when the course was changed, the left engine completely turned off, causing the fuselage to lose power and roll over under turbulence. The plane eventually crashed into the ocean west of Gotland. After the rescue team arrived, there was no sign of life in the cabin, and the cause of the failure was confirmed from the recovered black box.

Although some people speculate that it was a murder, there was no evidence to prove it.

The black box couldn’t talk, and there were no explosives on the fuselage or traces of the plane being hit by missiles. The left engine that was salvaged from the bottom of the sea indeed showed a worn-out circuit. The only doubt was whether the circuit really caused the engine to completely fail.

But in any case, people were dead.

From the news of the next day, Jiang Chen saw BBC’s follow-up report on the crash.

He was actually curious about how Monica did it to make it appear so perfect, but he did not call and ask her. He emphasized on ​​the result more than the process. Peter died in an accident, it was enough for him.

Compared with Jiang Chen’s calmness, Peter’s death caused a storm in the world.

Peter, who previously represented the right-wing force, was elected into the office on strong support. Many people photoshopped him into Hitler, thinking that he would bring the world into abyss.

During the domestic revolution, the leader of the New Choice Party, Peter, died in the Baltic Sea. This loss was like poison that slowly spread through the extreme right-wing of Frankberg. Although deputy prime minister took over the position of prime minister, neither the prestige nor the experience of the new prime minister could compare with Peter.

After he took office, he would give up the European Union integration initiative, punish the company involved in the “7th Institute Incident”, appeal for the previously exiled political party, and then announce for re-election. Perhaps there would be a chance to turn this situation around…but this was obviously impossible.

Already having chosen this path, they must continue regardless of the result, and there was no return. If the New Choice Party lost its ruling status, then there would be only one consequence left, rotting in prison.

On the other hand, the rebel forces’ morale soared after the death of Peter. They regard Peter’s death as the dawn of victory, and the size of the rebel army began growing. More and more aspiring young people join their forces. It was no longer just people from Bava, there were people from all over the nation.

Once the countless confrontation with civilians began, a dangerous thought began to plague the army. At the most dangerous moment for the country, choosing to desert its side and instead side with the other deserters was no longer shameful, but glorious.

At first, it was only one or two soldiers. Later, it became a tank. In the end, it even evolved into a whole company that turned to the rebels. Except for those in power, no one called them deserters. People called them “the people who made the right choice” and offered flowers and blessings.

Just two days after Peter’s death, another event shocked the world.

The 10th Armored Division on mission turned themselves in to the rebels on the evening of May 25th.

…

The Greek gatehouse on the west side of King’s Square was illuminated by countless lights.

Tanks and armored vehicles gathered into formations, just like a military parade. The soldiers were dressed in uniforms and holding their rifles in front of their chest. They were neatly lined up in the square, looking straight ahead.

Curfew was imposed, but civilians gathered around the square.

The crowd surrounded the square, and the people in the back even stood on top of car roofs.

There were no stones, no fire, people just quietly watched the general on the gatehouse, suspicious, doubtful, excited, hopeful, or calm.

In this square that witnessed history countless times, the 10th Armored Division commander, Kelford with a medal-filled chest, stood in front of media reporters from all over the world and in front of his people.

He stood straight, not to prove the merits he had received, but to firmly believe that the choice he made was the right one, and worthy of the flag behind him.

In a powerful tone, he announced to the world.

“Chaos, poverty, corruption, ignorance, and now the war, see what Peter has brought upon us over the past two years? He has not fulfilled his campaign promise and he is splitting apart the country and bring us into the abyss!”

“This can’t continue any longer!”

“Please allow me to refuse to use words such as surrender and betrayal. The soldiers of Frankberg have never betrayed our people. When they ordered us to shoot at the people, we refused, and then stood on the side of our people. We just made the most correct choice today, a choice any Frankberg person would make.”

“The 10th Armored Division will not join the rebels, but starting today, we will fight for the same cause.”

“After the victory of the revolution, I will resign. If I am guilty, judge me. But before that, I will take the country back in the right direction as a soldier!”

Cheering erupted through the night sky, deafening the entire square.

The soldiers marched forward and the tanks began to roll. No protesters formed a wall, and there were no Mokov cocktails. People consciously stepped back to form a path, watching their soldiers step on the right battlefield…

1Tonight, the world was shocked.
