“Information to all troops occupying the Army Training Center. Disarm now and surrender! Disarm and surrender!!!”
“f*ck you, you bastards! No negotiations with the rebels!! Aren’t you ashamed of your rank badges to blackmail the Andan trainees yet?”
At the Army Training Center, Goseong was constantly coming and going.
The Capital Guard Division and the National Military Police surrounded the outside.
In addition to that, the troops under the Eastern Corps, which were supposed to participate in this military parade, were broadcasting absurd claims that the head of the army training center had forcibly detained the king and was holding a sit-in.
Of course, the troops at the Army Training Center, who knew all the facts, did not budge and responded with abusive language.
In fact, looking at the situation itself, it could never be said to be good.
The training camp is under siege. The number of troops is many times that of the rebels.
Moreover, the Capital Guard Division and the State Military Police, which can be seen as the best in Uk ran, are pointing their guns at you.
Even if they are trainees trained in the latest doctrine, they are overwhelmingly lacking in experience.
Assuming we face the worst situation head-on, the exchange rate of 1:3 may come out ridiculous.
There was no way the others were unaware of that fact.
“How many supplies are currently stored in the training center!!”
When Army Training Director Rittenhark asked, nervously biting his nails, the military staff replied in a cold sweat.
“There are so many riders coming in this time, the food itself is sufficient, but the problem is ammunition.”
Since it was a training unit, it was possible to supply enough ammunition per trainee.
That was just a story assuming a training situation.
If an all-out war really broke out on the side of the coup d’état forces, risking a certain amount of blood and forcibly pushing in.
It was clear that the first thing that would fall on the trainees would be ammunition.
“Lieutenant Colonel Enoch Levandell! There must be a solution!”
Director Rittenhark’s gaze returned to me. I looked straight at him and nodded his head.
“Yes, warden.”
In the end, we hold the cause.
In reality, Prince Orlando Luz III was here, and as long as he supports us, whatever the coup forces say, it will inevitably end in rebellion.
In addition, the press is also in my hands.
They only know one thing and don’t know the other.
Because it hadn’t been long since the press had arrived in Uk ran, the coup forces were unaware of its true power.
“First of all, as soon as day breaks, Sarah Ronald’s Wilson Times will distribute a large-scale newspaper. Every citizen in the capital will know about the coup forces.”
Orlando Luz III’s military and economic reforms have been very stable and going in a good direction for the last few years.
Citizens were also clearly aware of that.
To them, Orlando Ruth III was a prophet who presented a new future to the dark Uk ranian principality, a great victor who led his country to victory, and the only monarch who regained lost territories.
This is the reason why the coup d’état army tried to capture the king without removing it.
The moment the king is eliminated.
It was certain that they would be dragged down by an angry mob.
“We have an unconditional advantage in public opinion wars. The problem is that the more they are driven into a corner, the more radically they will find a breakthrough…….”
Think carefully.
Their plans have already gone awry.
If infighting breaks out, that would be a perfect boon, but what if the coup forces decide to turn the entire capital into a ‘killing field’?
The civil war may be our victory, but what follows is never guaranteed.
“Perhaps there is an empire behind them. At worst, they might intervene.”
At the point where they locked themselves in the training center and decided to sit-in, the troops of the Eastern Corps, the main force of the coup, must have started moving.
A gap in the border area that will naturally occur in the process.
The suppression of the Eastern Corps has been left to the Special Response Brigade Commander, Josef Lewandowski, but there is no telling when that mean brown bear will strike its front paws at the principality.
No, maybe.
The current situation in Uk ran may have been the trigger for a world war.
It is a strategy commonly used in Hearts of General to actively intervene in a small country that has been in a civil war to establish a new government that suits their taste, or to cede some territory.
Did the coup forces, which also cooperated with the remnants of the oppressive criminal group Strigoi and the insurgent Azov National Liberation Front, reject the sweet touch of the Soviet Empire?
I wonder if the reason they moved in the first place was because there was an empire behind consumption.
It’s just a hypothesis, but if it’s true, the situation becomes quite complicated.
But I was certain that two years ago, a coup would break out.
Following the Southern Corps and the Special Response Brigade, the Northern Corps.
I talked to a few people from the Western Corps and the Central Corps, and met many top tier lords in addition to bureaucrats and honorary nobles, not limited to soldiers.
Thanks to that, I was able to pull it up to now even in extremely unfavorable circumstances.
And the people I’ve made connections with aren’t just in Uk ran.
“So, then what are we supposed to do?”
When the operational staff at the Army Training Center, who had been quietly listening to the story, asked in a trembling voice.
I answered in a still calm voice.
“You have to wait. Until everything completely fell on us.”
***
A time when the dawn is getting closer.
[Large-scale unrest in the capital, Kayef. The head of the army training center and the commander of the 8th Assault Magical Infantry Battalion kidnapped the king and are holding a sit-in.]
The command of the Eastern Corps Commander to urgently dispatch was delivered to his subordinate divisions at the same time.
From Satan who knows about this incident to some extent, to Satan who has not received any word.
There was no one who would not be moved by the unprecedented case of the kidnapping of the king.
The whole story didn’t matter.
Those who supported the coup d’état forces, in order to preserve their own lives.
For those who don’t know the story of the coup, to be loyal to the country.
Each of them had different reasons but the Eastern Corps started to develop rapidly.
“…… What?”
“All major roads are blocked!”
“This is an urgent message from the 54th Cavalry Brigade. It is said that the main bridge to the central district has been destroyed.”
“The messenger of the cavalry brigade directly under the command of the corps has arrived… …. Received a counterattack and the entire brigade was annihilated. Brigadier Warrior…… !”
The troops advancing on the front line began to stop one by one. Some units were even repulsed with heavy losses.
Who the hell could hinder the advance of the Legion?
I also received information that some of the troops of the Northern Corps were deployed, but I guess they were infantry.
How can you annihilate a cavalry brigade?
The chief of staff of the eastern corps, holding the baton instead of the corps commander in the capital, felt like his head was about to explode.
That moment.
A liaison officer hurriedly ran into the simple tent being used as the corps command post.
“Chief of Staff!! I, come out and look at the sky!!”
“The sky?”
“Airship! It’s an airship!!”
The moment he heard that, the chief of staff could immediately recognize who had defeated the preceding units.
The chief of staff rushed out of the tent and looked up at the sky.
As the twilight slowly lifted, I saw a huge battleship sailing loftily through the dawning sky.
Zeppelin Airship.
“Special Response Brigade…… !!!”
It’s scary for the chief of staff to spit it out.
A clear voice came from the airship. It was a voice that even the chief of staff had heard before.
“—Nice to meet you, dear comrades.”
Colonel Josef Lewandowski.
He was the brigade commander of the Special Response Brigade.
***
The capital, Kayev.
5:43 Am.
The whole city was in a chaotic mood.
Gendarmerie scattered everywhere was controlling the shopping district, and fully armed troops were stationed in every alley to stand guard.
‘What the hell is this all about?’
Johann Mayer, who held the post of Undersecretary of Finance for the Duchy of the Principality of Uk ran, was overcome by an ominous feeling.
He had heard information about the coup from his daughter Bell Meyer.
As well as the fact that Secretary of State Aberto suddenly summoned officials at the vice-ministerial level or higher all at once early in the morning.
Johann Mayer couldn’t shake the feeling that things were going fast.
‘First of all, I need to get back to the Treasury. Is His Excellency the King all right…….’
The wagon carrying him speeds through the empty streets.
In the reign of Prince Orlando Luz III, the streets that had always been lively and crowded were now filled with heavy silence.
John felt that everything he was seeing was just unpleasant.
Let’s get to the Petrobuna Palace.
“Are you Johan Meyer, Undersecretary of Finance?”
“That’s right.”
A military police greeted him with a salute. Hard impression. Johan realized at once that they were not originally guarding the palace.
Cheap.
His heart sank.
Is the coup a success?
Has Secretary of State Aberto really crossed the line?
From Noble mtl dot com
“The officials are waiting. Eat inside.”
However, there was nothing Johann Mayer could do in this situation.
He walked helplessly into the palace. Even as he walked down the long hallway, his mind got complicated.
‘Will my daughter be okay? If so, did Lieutenant Colonel Enoch Levandell fail to suppress the coup?’
I felt like I had to check everything with my own two eyes.
As Johann Mayer entered the conference room, which is usually held by officials of the vice-ministerial level or higher, the meeting was held together.
“We will urgently arrest Secretary of State Aberto on charges of civil war.”
“These traitors!! History will judge you!!”
There was Secretary of State Aberto being dragged away by the military police.
