Even before his stature has become "heroic," his bosses maneuver a neat fix: Angelo must be killed and enshrined as a national martyr. Instead, in a duel, innocent Angelo spits his enemy through the gizzard and continues to thrive. His bosses keep on hoping, when he is ordered to blow up an Austrian powder store and burn the fodder of the enemy cavalry.
