"Are you Nile people?" the guard leader couldn't hide his shock.
"Yes! But we are different from you! We sincerely gave everything for this country, but you only know how to obey those damn orders and ruin the future of the entire country!" The bearded man was full of contempt for the Guards Corps.
"You..." The captain of the guard instantly thought of the even more terrifying things that were about to happen. "Gag their mouths, put on hoods and escort them back immediately! Their identity information must not be leaked! Who dares to say anything casually, I
Just kill whoever you want!"
"Yes!" The guards immediately took action.
The captain of the guard glanced at the cruise ship. There were guards from the Welland royal family on the cruise ship looking at it. Fortunately, the distance was far away, and the assassins were disheveled, so they probably couldn't see the faces of these people clearly.
"Captain, why do you want to keep it a secret? I'm afraid it won't be long before this matter spreads everywhere, right?" A close aide came to the guard commander and asked in a low voice.
"I don't have time to explain this to you now. You can quietly capture five Bash men and bring them back to the camp as quickly as possible, kill them, and commit suicide by pretending to be Prince Albert's assassin."
"The guard captain has many things to do next, and he doesn't have time to explain the reasons for doing this to his cronies.
"What?!" The confidant was stunned.
Capture five Bashi people and kill them to replace the five real assassins. This is clearly an attempt to frame the assassination incident and blame it on Bash.
Seeing his confidant standing motionless, the captain of the guard grabbed him by the collar and growled: "Otherwise? Is it better for us to bear Willan's wrath ourselves, or to let Bash do it for us? Do we still have to choose?
?Hurry up and do it for me!"
"Yes, yes!"
"You go contact the hospital! You follow me!" The captain of the guard glanced at the officials who were hiding and did not dare to show up, and led a group of guards up the gangway alone.
"Stop!" The guard on the ship pointed his gun at them.
"I am the captain of the Guards in Semshak City! The assassins have been caught, and I have also contacted the hospital. Now we have to send Prince Albert there quickly!" The guard captain raised his hands to show that he was not hostile.
.
"Stop!" the guard couldn't understand Nile.
"Where is the assassin?" Minister Philip, covered in blood, walked over with a gloomy face and asked in Nile.
The guard who blocked the captain of the guard from getting on the boat moved aside, allowing him to see Prince Albert, who was surrounded by a crowd of people behind Philip, but seemed to be dead: "Being brought back to the camp."
"Who is the assassin?" Philip asked suppressing his anger.
"The assassin is..." The next few words of the answer will change history. In order to avoid the deterioration of the relationship between Willan and Nero, the leader of the guard chose to move out of Bash to block the gun, "Bash!"

Five minutes after the assassination
Republic of Bressey, Lezein, Government Building
The Minister of Security, Augus White, quickly came to the President's office and reported to Francois the assassination of Prince Albert that had just occurred in the city of Semshak in the Nile Empire.
Francois was silent for a long time after hearing this: "Bash can't be so obvious and proactive in provoking a conflict. Albert may be a political victim thrown out by the Welland royal family."
"It is also possible that Bash did this. Anyway, as long as everyone believes in them, there will always be a reasonable excuse. In short, now that the water has been muddied, it is no longer important who killed Prince Albert. The key is the war.
It's going to break out, and we're going to be involved." White was only concerned about the coming of war.
"It is estimated that the ambassadors of Wellland and Bash will come to see me soon..." The arrival of the war was at least a month early, which made Francois a little overwhelmed. "Go and arrange an emergency meeting. Everyone is here."
Everyone on the list must arrive at the conference hall within half an hour."
"Yes." White left.

Ten minutes after the assassination
The office of the division commander Major General Joseph at the camp of the 1st Cavalry Regiment of the Independent Mixed Division in Lezein
Adel, Ross and other cadres of the Equality Association, as well as several of Joseph's cronies in the army rushed over and silently looked at Joseph who was staring out the window alone.
Joseph, who was wearing a smart military uniform as always, sighed softly: "The war is coming."
"What happened?" Adel guessed that something big must have happened, otherwise Joseph would not have said that suddenly.
"Isn't the war already coming? This is..." Lieutenant Colonel Bryan, the former commander of the first battalion of the Cavalry Regiment and later promoted by Joseph to the new commander of the Cavalry Regiment, asked.
"Just a few minutes or ten minutes ago, a prince sent by the Willand royal family was assassinated in Nile, and the murderer... was a group of Bash people." Joseph said slowly.
The Bashi killed the prince of the Welland royal family?!
The two parties were already at war with each other and were secretly prepared to go to war and use force to resolve the conflict. Now that something like this has happened, war is inevitable and will definitely come sooner.
"François is preparing for an emergency meeting, and I have to rush over soon." Joseph looked sad, as if he was unwilling to see the war coming, "Adel, you can talk to the other side about this later.
Some things should be done more intensively.”
"Yeah." Adel agreed.
"Next, we will enter an extremely critical period with the advent of war. I hope that you will not make any mistakes or miss this opportunity." Joseph looked at the time and said, "Don't spread the news casually until I come back.
Let’s all have a meeting.”

Fifteen minutes after the assassination
Equality Association Headquarters, Boyne Office
The office with a heavy atmosphere was filled with many cadres.
"Prince Albert of the Welland royal family was assassinated when he visited the Nile Empire. Joseph and the others were immediately summoned by Francois to hold an emergency meeting. Bash and the Welland ambassador to Bressy were also there.
Rush to the government building...the war is about to begin." Boyin's hand was still on the phone and he continued to hang up the phone.
"This far exceeded our expectations and I believe it caught everyone off guard," said Intelligence Minister Charles.
"Our preparations haven't been completed yet. It will take at least half a month. We hope we can make it in time." Morais looked solemn.
Only when everything is well prepared and Brexi's forces are restrained, can they control Lezein in one fell swoop and sound the clarion call to rebuild Brexi and welcome the new world.
If the two parties start a war now, they will have to watch helplessly for at least half a month.
"Now we need to keep a close eye on the movements of Bash, Willan and Francois. The actions of these three parties will be closely linked to our subsequent actions. In addition, we just have to do the preparations steadily. The more difficult it is to do this, the more we can do it.
Don't worry, the war will not end in a short time, but we have plenty of time." Boyin was very open-minded and believed that we could afford to wait for half a month.
"Is there anything else we need to do?" Piaf, who serves as head of the propaganda department, asked.
"When the war comes, the more low-key we are, the more we will arouse Francois' vigilance and suspicion, so we don't have to be so restrained. We must take this opportunity to strengthen our propaganda work and build the people's psychology in advance." Boyin dared.
If you want to dare to do it, boldly mobilize your troops, "You can also do some small activities. Cooperate with Joseph and Adel to perform more plays, which can not only ensure our activity, but also strengthen Francois
Trust Joseph and fight for the military power of the Guard Corps."
"Where are the various sub-stations?" Liszt, the director of the Coordination Department, asked Boyin for his opinion.
Boyin groaned, and after careful consideration said: "The overseas branches will maintain the status quo, while the domestic ones will increase their activity and increase the scale of publicity while ensuring safety. After we officially take action, we will need to coordinate with each other across the country.
The importance of a branch station is unparalleled."
"clear."
"For other ministries, the most important thing at the moment is to stay calm and ensure the safe advancement of all plans. We must not only treat the war as having already happened, but also as if the war has not yet come. We-cough cough cough! Cough cough!" Halfway through,
Boyin coughed violently.
Morais immediately faced everyone: "Okay, now we will do what President Boyin told us. We will meet again to discuss new situations later. Let's get busy now."
"yes."
"President, take care of yourself."
"Then I'll leave first."
The cadres looked at each other, said hello to Boyin and left.
"Ahem..." Boyin held the water glass tremblingly and took two sips to regain his composure.
"Have you taken your medicine today?" Morais stepped forward and patted Boyin's back gently.
"Huh...huh...drink..." Boyin breathed heavily.
Morais was afraid that he would lie again and fool himself, so he opened a medicine box and counted the amount of medicine. After counting, judging from the quantity, Boyin did drink the medicine today: "Your condition has worsened again. You may be out of control just by taking medicine."
Live."
"It's okay, uh... my own body... I know it best, uh... it's not... it's not that bad..." Boyin waved his hand, "You go and do your work, cough! Now,
There are a lot of things to keep an eye on now..."
"I'll help you go back to rest first." Morais couldn't worry about Boyin and decided to put him away first before going to work.
"No, no, no." Boyin pushed Morais' hand away and stood up independently, supporting the desk. "In such an important period, if everyone thinks that I can barely walk, what impact will it have..."
"Do you think everyone doesn't know your situation? They know it more or less, but they just haven't said it in front of you and don't want to put too much pressure on you." Morais insisted on helping, "You are just pretending in front of them.
It’s really too redundant.”
Boyin shook off Morais forcefully, took a document, and walked towards the door step by step: "Even if I need help, it will be the day when I really can't walk. You go to work, ten million
Don’t make any mistakes.”
Morais was helpless: "I know! You tough guy!"

Thirty minutes after the assassination
Kip City, temporary warehouse site
All the Equality Association cadres in Kip City rushed over as quickly as possible, including Verak, Keating, Nord, Murphy, and Mellon and Catherine from the branch station.
Andre and Benedick stayed at the factory because factory owners came to discuss cooperation matters from time to time.
"Everyone should be aware of the situation. The prince of Welland was killed by the Bash. At present, there is no movement from both Bash and Welland, but Nero is about to be in chaos because of this incident. Regarding this incident
Reports are also spreading rapidly..." Old Mellen added some of the latest developments, "The main station has made preliminary preparations based on the situation.
Deployment, the instructions given to us are still to fully cooperate with you two and steadily complete the conference school and pilot factory. Now we are holding an emergency meeting. The main content to be discussed is this incident and the subsequent war, which may affect
What impact will the advancement of your two tasks have? What kind of response should we do in advance?"
"Although Bressi will be involved and will join the expedition with the Welland coalition, I think the impact on our side will still be negligible." Verak rushed over as soon as he heard about this on the phone.
road.
"That's the best." Of course, Mellen Lao hopes that nothing will happen, that the school will be successfully established and put into operation, and that the pilot plant will be successfully promoted.
Nord put forward his own idea: "I have often heard local people in Kip say recently that no big thing that happens abroad would have a greater impact on Kip than Francois's fart. This is definitely an exaggeration.
Yes, but I think there is a certain truth. Kip City is adjacent to Lezein. If there is anything, we should pay attention to Lezeine."
"That's right." Catherine agreed with Nord's opinion.
"I think we can analyze this assassination incident." Verak was even more worried about the world war situation. "Almost everyone thought that a war would break out between Bash and Wellland sooner or later, but no matter how early, at least it must be
July, now so far ahead of schedule, things shouldn’t be that simple.”
"You want to say that if this is an assassination ordered by Bash, it means that Bash is ready for war. They want to use the assassination to interrupt the friendship between Nile and Willan and beat Willan.
Caught off guard?" Winston said.
Keating said: "This is just a possibility, and we cannot rule out that Willan deliberately framed the blame on Bash, and then went on the expedition justifiably."
"Yes, anyone can do it. The key is that whoever does it means who has taken the initiative, which is likely to affect the entire battle." Verak agreed with Keating's words.
"Willland did it himself? Isn't that the same as the royal family giving the prince to..." Nord couldn't help but be speechless.
"There are so many princes in the Willand royal family. It's not a big deal for them to sacrifice one of them. It's just that the information we currently have is too little to determine these things. We can only speculate as a possibility."
Keating was used to the overt and secret fighting in the royal family, so the death of a prince did not surprise him.
