On March 3, Germany **began** to file a lawsuit against the German ** officials who planned the attack on the Crimean bridge!
The reason is that on March 1, Simonyan, editor-in-chief of Russia Today TV, released a recording on social platforms, which showed that a number of German officials had discussed providing missiles to Ukraine and secretly helping Ukraine bomb targets such as the Crimean bridge.
Crime of aggression
Representatives of the "Free Saxony" party have already submitted the case to the German Prosecutor General's Office, since the negotiations of the Bundeswehr** fall within the scope of Article 13 of the International Criminal Code of the Federal Republic of Germany ("Crime of aggression").
"The attack on the Crimean bridge, in which Germany participates, will provoke a war of aggression against Russia," the statement said. And could become the starting point of the Third World War. All this makes the threat of retaliatory military action against Germany quite real.
Recording leaks
Earlier, a leaked conversation showed four senior German officers discussing the Taurus missile and how best to strike the Crimean bridge.
Four Luftwaffe officers, including Luftwaffe commander General Gerhards and Brigadier General Grefe, participated in the discussion, which mainly focused on the specific details of providing "Taurus" cruise missiles to Ukraine, how to strike at the Crimean bridge, and how to clear Germany of direct involvement in the conflict.
Among them, the Germans pointed out that a successful strike on Russia's critical infrastructure would require additional satellite data, the deployment of missiles on French Rafale fighter jets and at least a month of preparation.
One participant noted that since the Crimean bridge is the longest in Europe, even 20 missiles will not be enough to cause significant damage.
The four also went on to discuss the extent to which the German side should cooperate closely with the proposed action so as not to cross the "red line" of "direct participation in the conflict."
The conversation showed that British, French and American troops were already in Ukraine. NATO servicemen are helping Kyiv maintain advanced Western equipment. At the same time, the aforementioned countries deny the presence of their troops there.
Germany** confirmed the recording of February 19, and German authorities are currently trying to control the damage by local censorship of the x users who shared the recording.
After a preliminary analysis, it was found that the recording of the meeting was authentic. The initial assessment is that the possibility of AI-assisted counterfeiting has been largely ruled out. ”
Ostensibly, almost all of them point to Russian spies stealing encrypted call lines in Singapore, and Simonyan said the recording was provided by Russian security**.
A spokesman for the German Ministry of Defense confirmed to ** that the Air Force's conversation was suspected of being "intercepted".
Who stole the recording?
A senior German ** also confirmed to ** that the recording was authentic and originated from an online meeting of the Luftwaffe, which was held on the commercial platform Webex, rather than on an encrypted network within the army.
Among them, one** participated in the meeting using a mobile phone in a hotel room in Singapore. Another German** said that Webex is widely used by the German side and other confidential authorities.
However, the lawsuit of Germany has made this leak case another possibility, that is, Germany is not unified internally, and it is even very likely that Germany will step on two boats.
On the one hand, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has repeatedly stressed that he will not send Taurus to Ukraine, and on the other hand, the German side is discussing how to use Taurus missiles.
This contradiction can be said to be that Germany says one thing and does another, and it may indeed be singing double reeds.
After all, none of the German factions would be willing to bear the blame of the fuse of the Third World War, let alone a missile falling on the territory of Germany one day.
Therefore, the German officials participated in the discussion of the attack on the Crimean bridge as a perfunctory to NATO and Britain and the United States, and then left a gap from the inside for the ubiquitous Russian spies to obtain the recording of the conversation and use the Russian hand **.
Then, Germany will naturally cause controversy at home, so as to prevent Taurus from being used in the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, at least to play a delaying role.
There have been huge interests and cooperation between Germany and Russia in the past ten years, so the leakage of this ** recording is also very strange, especially in the dozens of minutes of recording, except for the discussion of the use of Taurus, other issues are almost trivial, and there is no confidential content at all.
Of course, in the end, this prosecution is likely to be closed, after all, it has not been implemented yet, it is just a discussion.
Therefore, the Germans are also quite realistic in acting!
