Yuri had been operating in La Paz for some time, so it took him less than a day to make sure that Colonel numar had no accident.
So a meeting went on as scheduled.
"Colonel, you really worried me for a long time..."
The meeting was held in a private villa in La Paz. Yuri didn''t care who the owner of the villa was. He cared about how much power the fat white man in front of him still held in his hand.
"Oh, Yuri, my dear friend. It''s great to see you again!"
Colonel numar is a fat old man of Indian descent. At the age of 62, he was originally one of the only generals in active service in Bolivia.
Unfortunately, he was involved in an unsuccessful mutiny a year ago.
If the current president did not see that he was of Indian descent and thought he could fight for it, he would only be relieved of his post in the military and demoted to Colonel as a punishment.
Otherwise, look at the previous interior minister. The white politician who was also involved in the assassination of the president has now become the former.
Yuri was too lazy to continue these hypocritical courtesies with him. When the Colonel poured him a glass of red wine himself, they clinked glasses and tasted each other, he restrained his smile.
"Colonel, what is the situation on your side? La Paz is now full of intelligence agencies and internal guards. It is said that the news has leaked?"
Naturally, he asked knowingly. Colonel numar sighed, put down his glass and nodded slightly: "Yuri, my friend. The situation of La Paz is more dangerous than you can imagine. The pawn of the madman who has been bent on reviving communism has arrested an alliance I contacted. If I hadn''t kidnapped his family immediately and asked him to tell him that he dared to expose it, I''d send his family to hell first. I''m afraid I''d already exposed it now!"
He looked at Yuri irritably, his face full of fat trembling, "... However, although the intelligence I received shows that the guy hasn''t dared to disclose any information yet, someone has begun to suspect me. My phone was found to be tapped today. Yuri, the plan must be carried out as soon as possible!"
Yuri narrowed his eyes and asked, "how many people can you use now?"
"A thousand... No, it may be only seven or eight hundred... But there is another subordinate in the police system who is training reserve police officers. If you fight for it, there should be hundreds more police!"
Many South American and even Central American countries have poor control over the army.
This is why the news often sees Central America and South America regularly launch military coups to overthrow democratically elected governments or governments that come to power through coups.
Yuri, who was born in the CIA, although he didn''t look down on Colonel numar''s power, he was also very clear that if these people really launched a sudden military coup, they would still have a chance to control La Paz and overthrow the current government.
After all, due to its national strength, Bolivia''s military strength has always been poor. There are only about 40000 regular troops in its territory of more than 1 million square kilometers. The vast majority of its troops are still stationed on the border between Chile and Paraguay, where there are frequent border frictions with Bolivia, and its internal defense is very empty.
However, what he needs is not a "possible" military change, but a certain success.
At present, Yuri pointed out the problem very impolitely: "Colonel, I can''t believe a group of reserve police officers who may not even hold the gun stably, and how many people under you are willing to follow you, I''m afraid you can''t guarantee yourself!"
His fingers impolitely ordered some on the nearby tea table, with a cold voice.
"So I want to increase the size to ensure that the plan will succeed... But..."
Colonel numar''s face changed slightly, and some greasy beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead.
"You want to raise the price..." his voice was a bit displeased, but he soon recovered, shook his head and shook his head. "My friend, your price is high. $thirty million in military spending plus two thousand Bolivia military records. Even if my army has been successful, it may be all I has the final say in the future."
That being said, Colonel numar did not completely refuse.
Obviously, he also knows his current dangerous situation. Once his participation in the military coup is exposed, this time, his Indian identity can no longer protect himself. The best outcome waiting for him will be to spend the rest of his life in prison.
Yuri just looked at him with a sneer and said nothing. He stared at Colonel numar, and the sweat on his forehead kept rolling down his cheeks.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Colonel numar was the first to lose.
His throat kept wriggling and reopened dryly: "... Well, I agree to increase the remuneration... But... I can''t get more money. Don''t you want to get Bolivia''s military status? I can add a thousand more... At the price, you promised to double the number of mercenaries participating in the military revolution from the original 500."
With that, he stared at Yuri, but what he waited for was an unsatisfied shake of his head.
"Military status? No... I''m more interested in the interior minister of the future new government than it..."
Ignoring Colonel numar''s ugly face, he took out a recorder from his pocket and put it on the tea table.
"Old rule, just one word. About 1700 mercenaries from the two reinforced battalions who have received normal military training will come to La Paz through various channels in five days... I can guarantee that these soldiers are fully armed, from heavy machine guns to armored vehicles to tanks... I can guarantee to overthrow this government for you and send you to the throne of your President …”
"Two reinforced battalions... Fully armed..."
Colonel numar kept swallowing his throat and his face was full of heart.
As one of the country''s top military generals, he knew the role of two heavily armed strengthening battalions in an army coup.
At the thought that he would soon become the most powerful man in the country, Colonel numar felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
But
The chip is the Minister of the interior!
He immediately felt a little difficult to choose!
Bolivia''s military strength is only more than 40000, because the regular army has been stationed in the border areas for a long time, and only a few are responsible for guarding important domestic cities such as La Paz and Sucre. In this case, the importance of Bolivia''s police is highlighted. There are almost 30000 police officers in charge of security throughout the country, The Minister of the interior is the highest officer of the police system.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Minister of the interior is the third real power figure in Bolivia besides the president and the Minister of defense. Even because of the conflict between the president and the Minister of defense over military power, the importance of the Minister of the interior may go further.
Seeing the recorder on the tea table, Colonel numar thought hard.
He knew that once he said that, after the army became successful, unless he could eliminate Yuri and all his mercenaries and even the forces behind him at the first time, this thing would be a time bomb and could blow himself to pieces at any time.
But
The highest power of a country is constantly waving to itself, and he can''t refuse this power at all.
After hesitating for a long time, the Colonel finally made a decision. His mouth trembled and promised, "well, I promise you!"
Euryton stood up with a spring face, took up the red wine and greeted him slightly, "Your Excellency, President, you won''t regret your decision today!"
The change suddenly made numar, who was reluctant, smile on his face.
He smiled and raised his glass to clink with Yuri. The cup clanged for a moment, and a touch of irony and indifference flashed in Yuri''s eyes.
"... laugh while you can now. You''ll soon understand that you''re just a pawn pushed to the open!"
