Zhukov Killed in Border Skirmish!

Post by Orion »

General Secretary candidate Anatoly Zhukov was killed yesterday when he was attacked by barbarians while accompanying a patrol in the new southern territories currently being reoccupied. Zhukov was following in the wake of Nikolai Kirov, who has been acting as a senior General in charge of resettling the southern areas as granted to Mishalan by the Treaty of Gloomburg. Kirov, a frequent presence on the war front, was not at the scene when the incident occurred, but was at Point Blanc (Belanos) supervising restoration of authority in the city. Zhukov had accompanied a small patrol that was exploring further into the remote western region, between new and old Vena, a rural and hazardous no-man's land. The patrol and Zhukov's escort were attacked by rogue mercenaries with no national allegiance. One of the mercenaries managed to get an RPG off, which hit Zhukov's jeep, exploding the vehicle and killed all passengers immediately. The mercenaries were eventually overpowered and killed by the remaining patrol, but not without significant casualties.

The death of Zhukov has eliminated a major player from the race for General Secretary, and some have called the event foul play. Fingers have been pointed towards Kirov, saying that he orchestrated minimal protection for Zhukov and the patrol, intentionally placing them in harms way. Other have pointed towards Semenov, whose dipping polls and close ties with intelligence made Zhukov an easy target to eliminate. Aleksandra Volkova has called for a court inquiry into the incident, saying that a full investigation should be made. Fyodor Rykov has said that the blame rests on the mercenaries, and is calling for increased military action in securing the south. In any event it has thrown the election race into complete chaos, and upcoming polls will likely see a drastic shift depending on how the candidates react and handle the situation.
