After the intentional agreement with colonel numar was reached, Yuri also began the final preparations before the military coup.
Bolivia, like most Latin American countries, has different degrees of lax border defense than European or Asian countries.
Because he had prepared for more than a month, more than 1000 mercenaries under his command had entered Bolivia in various ways.
Some entered in the normal way, while others came by smuggling.
Of course, although the personnel are easy to mix in, the equipment is not so easy. It is basically transported separately.
Yuri bought out the border patrol and customs personnel in advance. Some light weapons, including standard rifles, bullets, grenades, machine guns, etc., were transported in a small amount of money.
Heavy military equipment, such as tanks and armored vehicles, will be secretly transported to La Paz by train only through the channels of the warehouse.
After nearly half a year of painstaking operation, Yuri''s security company has begun to take shape.
Although it is one of the BRICs countries most affected by the international community, the chaos in Brazil''s domestic situation is actually above India and South Africa.
The proliferation of drugs, the growing strength of drug lords, and the loose immigration policy have led to a large number of low-quality personnel flowing into the country, resulting in a sharp increase in gangs relying on urban slums year by year, and politicians are corrupt
, the real scene in Brazil is that the gap between the rich and the poor is widening rapidly with the naked eye, and all kinds of internal problems are escalating.
In this case, more and more people are difficult to make a living.
Veterans are no exception. In fact, in Brazil, because they can not be properly resettled by the state after leaving the army, in recent years, more and more soldiers have joined the hands of gangs and drug lords and become thugs, further aggravating the social chaos.
Therefore, after Yuri recruited personnel in the name of security companies in Brazil and offered higher salaries than other security companies, although every interviewer was told that they might be sent abroad or even war zones to perform dangerous tasks in the future, Yuri still recruited thousands of trained veterans in a very short time, And nearly a quarter of veterans are from Venezuela.
With the help of Colonel numar, Yuri and his men were able to break up into pieces and gather in a barracks under his control, which Bolivian officials still knew nothing about.
In addition to the participation of Yuri mercenaries, the army controlled by Colonel numar also received some weapons assistance.
Sun Cheng has been purchasing ordnance from Russia for some time. The first batch of standard ordnance originating from Russia has been transported to South America. Except for some air defense missile and radar system bases, the rest have been stored in several hidden places.
Yuri''s assistance to Colonel numar is mostly some old ak-74 series eliminated by the Russian army, as well as a small number of RPG rockets and shoulder mounted air defense missiles.
Although not many, the Bolivian military stationed in the capital, La Paz, is only three regiments with less than 2900 troops, including one regiment, the armed forces controlled by Colonel numar ready for mutiny.
Moreover, there is only one armored battalion in the garrison near La Paz, and all the tanks and armored vehicles they are equipped with are only more than 30. Although they are all in the hands of the current president''s confidants, they are only some old junk goods.
This is not that Yuri despises the Bosnian army, but a fact.
Take a look at the weapons equipped by the Bolivian army. There are still more than a dozen T17 deer hound armored vehicles equipped by the United States during World War II in service in the Bolivian army''s mechanical forces. In addition, the most powerful tank battalion equipped by the Bolivian army is dozens of T-72 picked up by the former Soviet Union when the Soviet Union collapsed at the end of last century, and the parts are seriously aged for decades, Many have reached the scrap edge line, which is the kind of waste that even replacing parts and repairing them.
Seeing that everything is in full swing, Yuri was born in the CIA. He is very familiar with the means that U.S. intelligence agencies like to subvert the regimes of other countries abroad.
He suggested to Colonel numar that mutiny was only a means, and that we should strengthen our control over the popular will and public opinion.
After a period of investigation, Yuri is well aware that the current Bolivian domestic, especially businessmen and the middle class, have great fear of the new president''s "movement for socialism".
Thanks to the continuous demonized propaganda of "socialism" in the United States and Western society in the past few decades, and the fact that the Soviet Union and a country''s revolution exported abroad in the last century generally advocated seizing power by force, Peru, which is separated by water from Bolivia, has been deeply affected and has not been able to completely solve the glorious road.
Therefore, Yuri believes that as long as Colonel numar plays this banner, he will certainly get unexpected support.
Colonel numar is not a fool. Although he chose the mutiny for his political ambition, Yuri''s proposal seems to him to be a very good excuse.
At present, the two people hit it off immediately. Yuri personally paid for many newspapers, periodicals and private radio stations in Bolivia, disseminated publicity materials he specially asked people to rush to finish in major cities in Bolivia, and called on the people and all levels in the country to attack the current president''s political tendencies, And tried to play up Bolivia''s increasingly serious economic suffering and high prices in recent years, imperceptibly throwing all the problems that previous governments failed to solve on the head of the new president.
Naturally, these publicity materials are not stupid enough to explain who is the great Savior. Therefore, although they have attracted the attention of the government and intelligence agencies immediately after the outbreak, when they really want to trace down, they find that although there are many clues, they are too complicated. It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to trace down.
Moreover, they are also worried that they will fall into the trap of the behind the scenes, thus neglecting their control over the capital, La Paz, so they can only secretly raise their vigilance. At the same time, the current president appeared in front of the people and the media for days, denouncing all kinds of irresponsible reports and calling on all walks of life to give him more trust and support, I will use time to prove that he will bring Bolivia to a brighter future.
Even Yuri has to admit that the new president elected by Bolivia is indeed a figure. He has a sense of responsibility and courage and has considerable hostility to the United States. At the same time, he has almost controlled most of the situation in Bolivia by virtue of several attempted assassinations and coups at home.
Unfortunately, someone has an eye on Bolivia.
……
With the planning and support of Yuri and the base, Colonel numar''s coup plan was extremely rigorous and detailed, although the La Paz authorities soon suspected him. Even three days before the planned coup, they found an excuse to remove his military power and ordered him to rest at home temporarily.
This move of the authorities, although in the Colonel''s view, has added a lot of uncertainty to the coup.
But in Yuri''s eyes, the coup has actually been successful.
Because on this day, he finally met another supervisor who succeeded No. 2 and came to cooperate with him to complete this Bolivia strategy.
