Rebirth of England.

Chapter 692 Self-directed and self-acted?

After that incident, some people suspected that Jianguo might have staged a farce himself in order to gain more support and win the election.

However, with just a simple analysis, we can understand that the possibility is extremely low, or even almost non-existent.

First of all, Jianguo was not in power at that time, but his opponent Mei Xizong was in office, so it was unlikely that Jianguo would plan such a thing under such circumstances.

Because it is obvious that Mei Xizong has more resources in his hands at this time - even the Secret Service that provided protection for Jianguo at the time was under his management, not to mention intelligence organizations like the CIA and the FBI. Therefore, in this situation, if a "former president" with no real power planned such a self-directed and self-acted event, the possibility of being caught would be too great.

Yes, there have been cases of people staging assassinations before, but this kind of thing is usually done by someone in office seeking re-election, such as Ah Bian back then...

It would be much more difficult for the "opposition" party to plan such a thing...

It is also worth mentioning that at the rally, the Secret Service deployed two snipers on a nearby rooftop. However, even after the audience noticed the gunman climbing onto a nearby roof and lying there and reminded him, the Secret Service snipers were still able to calmly fire eight shots at the other party. It is simply outrageous.

The Secret Service does not take orders from Jianguo. If we rule out the possibility that Jianguo directed and acted out the incident himself, then this reaction is very intriguing.

The second reason is that directing and acting in one's own films is very risky, and is often a measure that has to be used when public opinion lags behind. However, there was no such situation when the founding of the country was taking place at that time. In fact, its support was much higher than that of the United States and China, so there was no need to do such a "hard fight".

Third, there is the risk mentioned above, which is the most important - if you want to direct and act in the play yourself, you must always find a "scapegoat", indeed a scapegoat, because in this kind of thing, you cannot ensure that the gunman you find will keep the secret 100%, so the best way is to "shoot him on the spot."

You must have enough trust in such a person, otherwise it will be easy for him to turn the fake into reality and start to have wild imaginations.

But no matter what, it would not be as severe as what happened to Jianguo. A photographer at the scene captured a picture of one of the bullets grazing Jianguo's head and piercing his ear...

The gunman used an automatic rifle, not a sniper rifle. At a distance of more than 200 meters from him, no one would have the confidence to "direct and act" such a stunt. If you are not careful, your imagination will be blown away. How much trust do you have in the other person's shooting skills to dare to do this?

Anyone who has a little knowledge of military affairs and knows the performance of this automatic rifle will rule out the possibility of a self-directed and self-acted attack - to put it bluntly, at a distance of more than 200 meters, considering the complex situation at the scene, well, it is not easy to hit a headshot at this distance even in the game, so how can you accurately hit only the ear?

In particular, another supporter of Jianguo who was attending the rally was shot and killed, which further ruled out the possibility of self-directed and self-acted. After all, if this kind of thing was self-directed and self-acted, it would not result in loss of life, because the nature is completely different. To sum up the above, once this kind of "self-directed and self-acted" results in loss of life, and at a time when the opponent controls the state apparatus, it is no different from suicide.

So Jianguo was really lucky. If he hadn't liked to shake his head when he gave speeches, and hadn't dodged the bullet by shaking his head, he would have been able to discuss his creative experience with Kennedy...

"Ivanta is a good girl, you know, I'm proud of her, and anyone who has a daughter like her would be proud, Barron."

Of course, during the conversation with Jianguo, the matter between Barron and Ivanta would inevitably come up, which was probably one of the purposes of his meeting with Barron this time.

However, with Ivanta by his side, it was obvious that Jianguo's words were not as exaggerated as in other interviews, which made people feel much more normal. "Yes, Mr. TP, I think so too..."

Barron looked at Ivanta beside him affectionately, and the woman's face was also full of love at this moment.

"We've all been divorced, Barron. In my experience, men always need a family. When you fall in love with a woman, you are attracted to each other and fall in love, then you can consider giving her a family..."

Uh, Jianguo, are you here to force your daughter to get married?

"Dad, didn't we talk about this?"

Before Barron could answer Jianguo's words, Ivanta spoke first. She said:

“I think we’re in pretty good shape right now.”

Barron patted Ivanta's hand and said to Jianguo with a smile:
"Mr. TP, I can guarantee my sincerity towards Ivanta, but there are some things you may also be aware of. Given some of the businesses that IC Capital is involved in, our current situation is better than just having the name of a marriage."

Maybe what Jianguo said just now was a sudden thought, or maybe it has been his thought for a long time, but I believe Ivanta also talked to him about their plans for investment in the United States. After Barron said this, he also realized the deeper impact of this.

Jianguo shrugged and said:
"I won't interfere too much in the affairs of you young people. I just hope not to make Ivanta sad..."

"Believe me, Mr. TP, I will give her enough protection. Of course, the most important thing is my feelings for her..."

In addition, Barron also believes that when Jianguo is ready to participate in the competition for that position, he will also understand that, with Barron's identity, his relationship with Ivanta, if maintained in its current state, will be more beneficial to Jianguo's competition than if they could be a "family". In addition to reducing the gossip that falls on the opponents, it will also be more convenient to help in some other aspects.

"How was my day, baby."

The meeting with Jianguo did not last too long, as he was a very busy man. After chatting with Barron for a while and having lunch together, he flew back to New York - this was understandable, as in the original time and space, Ivanta had already started working in their family company at this time and became the vice president of TP Group, sharing many tasks with Jianguo. Now he had to do some things himself.

After he left, Barron said to Ivanta with a smile.

"Well, it's not bad, at least it seems my father is satisfied."
