Chapter 390: Military Mutiny (Part II)
After the agreement of intent with Colonel Numar was reached, Yuri also began the final preparations before the military mutiny.
Bolivia, like most Latin American countries, suffers from varying degrees of laxity in border controls, as does the countries of Europe or Asia.
Because he had been preparing for almost a month, more than a thousand mercenaries under his command had already entered Bolivia in advance in various ways.
Some enter in the normal way, while others arrive in smuggling.
Of course, although the personnel are easy to mix, the equipment is not so easy, and it is basically transported separately.
Yuri bought off the border patrol and customs personnel in advance, and some light arms, including standard rifles, bullets, grenades, machine guns, etc., were all delivered in small and scattered ways.
Heavy military equipment, such as tanks and armoured vehicles, will be clandestinely transported to La Paz by train through the channels of warehouses.
Yuri's security company, after nearly half a year of painstaking management, has begun to scale.
Although it is one of the most popular BRICS countries in the international community, the chaos in Brazil is actually higher than that of India and South Africa.
The spread of drugs and drugs, the increasing power of drug lords, and the relaxation of immigration policies have led to a large influx of low-quality people into the country, resulting in a sharp increase in gangs relying on urban slums year by year, and politicians being corrupt
The real scene in Brazil is that the gap between the rich and the poor in the country is widening at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and various internal troubles continue to escalate.
In this situation, more and more people are struggling to make ends meet.
Veterans are no exception, in fact, in Brazil, because they are not properly resettled by the state after leaving the army, in recent years, more and more soldiers have joined gangs and drug lords and become thugs, which has further exacerbated the social chaos.
As a result, Yuri recruited thousands of trained veterans in a very short period of time, and nearly a quarter of them were from Venezuela, even though they were told that they might be sent abroad or even in war zones to carry out dangerous missions in the future.
With the help of Colonel Numar, Yuri and the others were able to gather in a barracks under his control, which was still unknown to Bolivian officials.
In addition to the addition of Yuri's mercenaries, the army under the control of Colonel Noumar also received some assistance in terms of weapons.
Sun Cheng has been purchasing ordnance from Russia for some time, and the first batch of standard ordnance originating in Russia has been transported to South America, except for some anti-aircraft missile and radar system bases that can be used, the rest are stored in several relatively hidden locations.
Yuri's assistance to Colonel Numar is mostly some old AK-74 series that have been eliminated by the Russian army, as well as a small number of RPG rocket launchers and shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles.
Although it is not much, the Bolivian military garrison in the capital, La Paz, has only three regiments of less than 2,900 men, including one regiment of armed forces under the control of Colonel Numar who are ready to mutiny.
Moreover, there is only one armored battalion in the defenders near La Paz, and all the tanks and armored vehicles they are equipped with are only about 30 units, although all of them are in the hands of the current president's henchmen, but they are all old rags.
It's not that Yuri looks down on the Bo Army, but it's a fact.
Take a look at the weapons equipped by the Bovian Army, the T17 Deer Hound armored car equipped by the United States during World War II is still more than a dozen in service in the Bovican Army mechanical unit, in addition to the most powerful tank battalion equipped by the Bovian Army, or dozens of T-72 from the former Soviet Union when the Soviet Union collapsed at the end of the last century, and it has been used for decades, and the parts are seriously aged, many of which are on the verge of scrapping, which belongs to the kind that is wasted even to replace a spare part and repair it.
Seeing that everything is in full swing, Yuri is from the CIA and is all too familiar with the methods that American intelligence agencies like to use to subvert the regimes of other countries abroad.
He advised Colonel Numar that the mutiny was only a means and that he should strengthen his control over the will and public opinion.
After some investigation some time ago, Yuri is well aware that there is a great deal of fear in Bolivia, especially among the businessmen and the middle class, about the new president's proposal for a "movement for socialism".
Thanks to the incessant demonic propaganda of 'socialism/ism' in the United States and the West over the past few decades, and the fact that the revolutions exported by the Soviet Union and a certain country in the last century generally advocated the seizure of power by force, Peru, which is separated by a river from Bolivia, has been deeply affected and has not been able to completely solve the glorious path.
Therefore, Yuri believes that as long as Colonel Numar plays this banner, he will surely gain unexpected support.
Colonel Numar was not stupid, and although he had chosen to mutiny for his own political ambitions, Yuri's proposal seemed to him to be a very good excuse.
At the moment, the two hit it off, and Yuri personally bought a lot of newspapers, periodicals and private radio stations in Bolivia, and distributed the propaganda materials that he specially asked people to urgently complete in major cities in Bolivia, calling on the people and all walks of life in the country to criticize the political leanings of the current president, and trying his best to exaggerate Bolivia's increasingly serious economic suffering and high prices in recent years, and subtly dumping all the problems that previous governments had failed to solve on the head of the new president.
Naturally, these propaganda materials are not stupid enough to explain who is the big savior or something, so although they immediately attracted the attention of the government and intelligence agencies after the outbreak, when they really wanted to track down, they found that although there were many clues, they were too complicated, and it would not only take a lot of manpower and material resources to track them down.
At the same time, the current president has appeared in front of the public and the media for several days, denouncing all kinds of irresponsible reports, and calling on all walks of life to give him more trust and support, and he will use time to prove that he will lead Bolivia to a brighter future.
Even Yuri had to admit that the new president elected by Bolivia was indeed a figure, he was responsible and courageous, quite hostile to the United States, and at the same time, with several assassination attempts and coups in the country, he had almost controlled most of the situation in Bolivia.
It's a pity that Bolivia is being targeted.
……
With Yuri and the base behind the planning and support, Colonel Numar's coup d'état was extremely meticulous and meticulous, although the La Paz authorities soon became suspicious of him, and even found an excuse to remove him from military power and ordered him to rest at home three days before the coup was originally planned.
This move by the authorities, although in the opinion of the colonel, added a lot of uncertainty to the coup.
But in Yuri's eyes, the coup d'état was actually successful.
Because on this day, he finally met another overseer who had succeeded the second and came to cooperate with him in completing the Bolivian raid.
