Chapter 1 White Jingyan's Plan

The country where Bai Jingyan was currently planning a coup was called Mofila, located on the southeastern coast of the Mediterranean. It was once considered a relatively developed nation, but due to the constant instability of the domestic regime and the rampant religious beliefs within the country, there were frequent wars due to disagreements in religious philosophy, leading to a continuous decline in the country's economy and military strength.

After the world's changes, Mofila could no longer hold on. The president decided to submit a request for vassalage to the world power, Russia. His proposal received the support of more than half of the high-ranking officials in the National Assembly, and the vassalage request was scheduled to be officially submitted in three days.

So, the time left for Sonan and Bai Jingyan was limited!

Late at night, Sonan and Bai Jingyan stood in front of the electronic map, their faces solemn.

"The entire Mofila has a total of six military regions, of which the garrison generals of two military regions are on the same side as me. Our forces are stronger than the presidential faction. Even in a frontal war, we won't lose!" Sonan said confidently, looking at the electronic map.

Bai Jingyan shook his head and said, "We must not launch a frontal war. If a full-scale war breaks out now, it will be impossible to determine the outcome in the short term. The presidential faction will hold out for three days, and then submit the vassalage application to Russia under pressure, along with a request for assistance."

"By then, with the Russian army pressing down on the border, we will have no chance at all."

Bai Jingyan raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you forgotten the rebellion that occurred in the Khanate a few days ago? The government forces and rebels, who were originally in a stalemate, were quickly defeated after the Yanhuang Federation intervened!"

"Do you think we have the ability to confront Russia head-on?"

Bai Jingyan's words were a bit impolite, but Sonan was not angry. After thinking seriously, he nodded.

His adoption of Bai Jingyan's suggestion to launch a coup meant that he recognized Bai Jingyan as his closest partner. What could be a stronger friendship than one forged by rebellion?

"Moreover, according to my investigation, the lower-ranking officers under the presidential faction are not very enthusiastic about becoming vassals of Russia, and some even disagree with the decisions of the higher-ups!" Bai Jingyan revealed a smile:

"Because facts have already proven that the armies of vassal states are mostly used as cannon fodder under the command of powerful countries, with a death rate a hundred times higher than that of soldiers from the powerful country itself!"

"Under this terrifying death rate, most soldiers have strong opposition emotions in their hearts."

"This is our advantage."

Bai Jingyan was right. Since the world's changes, the armies of small countries that were vassals of powerful countries had suffered heavy casualties. This death rate had also made some soldiers of small countries feel very disheartened. They gradually felt that if they were destined to die in the future, why not die in their own country? Why not die for their own country?

But the soldiers' thoughts could not change the overall situation.

Although the armies of small countries that were vassals of powerful countries were miserable, the leaders and high-ranking officials of the small countries did not have to risk their lives like the soldiers. They could enjoy safety and comfort in the powerful country, and with the soldiers they brought, they could get a good position and treatment. In this way, their lives were much better than the life they had in their own country, where they were always in danger.

The soldiers were the bargaining chips of the leaders of the small countries.

And once these bargaining chips could bring the leaders the benefits they deserved, most politicians did not care about the lives or deaths of these chips.

So, from this perspective, Sonan, who was trying to launch a coup, was not a villain, and the president of Mofila, who was trying to surrender to Russia in exchange for a "peaceful future," was not a good person either...

"Many soldiers oppose the vassalage plan, but they cannot speak out, nor do they dare to speak out!" Bai Jingyan continued, "But I can guarantee that if we clearly state our plan after launching the coup, many people will support us!"

"As long as we can control the capital and the high-ranking officials of the presidential faction in time, without the firm orders of the generals, their lower-ranking officers will definitely not launch a war against us, but will instead take the opportunity to recognize our sovereignty!"

"We can take control of this country at the lowest possible cost!"

Sonan's eyes gradually lit up. He increasingly felt that Bai Jingyan's wisdom was outstanding.

According to his original plan, this coup would be accompanied by a cruel and tragic war!

"Mr. Bai, if things really go as you say, then I will no longer be a power-hungry ambitious person, but a savior in the eyes of the soldiers!" Sonan grinned, showing his thick lips, and laughed loudly, "The people of the presidential faction want to use the soldiers as bargaining chips in exchange for their own wealth and glory! But I am launching a coup for the sake of the country, to give the soldiers the opportunity to die for their own country! Without a doubt, my character is too noble! The soldiers will definitely support me and will never support the presidential faction who treats them as bargaining chips!"

Bai Jingyan smiled upon hearing this.

The president of Mofila may have regarded the soldiers as bargaining chips, but Sonan was not noble either. After he seized power, the lives of the lower-ranking soldiers might be even more difficult.

In this situation, whether they surrendered to become vassals or held on to their own country, the lower-ranking soldiers could not escape the fate of destruction.

But Bai Jingyan was not in the mood to care about the future fate of these soldiers.

He slowly pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and said, "Although the soldiers will most likely support us, we cannot take it lightly and must still be wary of the presidential faction's forces!"

"Let our allied forces keep an eye on the presidential faction's army!"

"And your main force should not be mobilized, because the presidential faction will definitely be wary of you. Once your forces show any signs of abnormality, they will definitely notice!"

"Our target is the capital city. In three days, the president will submit the vassalage application!"

"In 24 hours, we will mobilize a secret force to capture the presidential palace, control the high-level National Assembly, kill the dissenters, and force the president to step down!"

Sonan listened to Bai Jingyan's plan, feeling excited.

According to Bai Jingyan's plan, this coup did not require a large-scale war. They only needed to break through the capital city and carry out a "decapitation" operation!

"The capital has a garrison of three thousand, a security team of eight hundred, and the presidential palace is heavily guarded. It will be very difficult to forcibly break through... How many soldiers are participating in this secret operation?" Bai Jingyan asked in a deep voice.

"One hundred and twenty-seven evolved warriors, three hundred of my personal guards, and the operation will be led by my adjutant personally! A total of four hundred and twenty-eight people!" Sonan said in a deep voice.

Bai Jingyan was silent for a moment, then pointed to himself and said, "No, it's four hundred and twenty-nine people!"

Sonan was stunned for a moment, greatly moved, and tightly grasped Bai Jingyan's hand, saying, "Mr. Bai, if this coup succeeds, you will be the number one hero! Investing in you is the most correct thing I have ever done in my life!"
