Chapter 393: New Bolivia (Medium)
When the first explosion sounded after dark, Colonel Numar, who was pretending to sleep in his bedroom at home, was stunned.
"Explosions? How can there be an explosion...... Is Yuri finally on the move......"
He quickly jumped out of bed and quickly wanted to walk towards the window.
Noumar's residence is located in the southwest corner of La Paz, about a dozen kilometers from the city center.
Previously, because the authorities noticed some clues, they suddenly relieved him of his military authority under the pretext of transferring when he went to work at the Ministry of National Defense every day.
The authorities apparently do not have more information about their involvement in the coup, or perhaps they are not sure that they are the masterminds behind the coup.
Probably for these reasons, despite being relieved of military privileges and temporarily placed under house arrest, not even the use of a telephone is allowed, but Numar's safety is guaranteed for the time being.
However, having lost all news from the outside world for two days, Colonel Numar is still unsure if Yuri has learned of his house arrest.
He had thought of escaping through the second-floor window at night, but quickly gave up.
The authorities have apparently begun to investigate his problem, not only have all the people in the family been replaced by police officers arranged by the authorities, but almost even the toilet is followed by a special person.
As the agreed time drew nearer and his time under house arrest increased, he became more and more worried that the authorities would soon find him and transfer him to prison to await trial by a court-martial.
Two days passed in such trepidation, that when an explosion came from the window, Colonel Numar felt a sudden tightening of his nerves, which had been tense for two days, and an incredible smile appeared on his face.
Through the windows that have been installed with security nets, you can faintly see the explosion and fire coming from a distance.
Then, once, twice......
The explosions rang out continuously, and the fires and explosions woke the city that had entered its dreams because of midnight from its sleep.
Then, the air raid sirens, the alarm bells of the cars, the angry scolding of the neighbors, the barking of wild dogs......
The city suddenly came alive!
"Bang!"
The bedroom door was immediately pushed open, and two police officers arranged by the authorities walked in.
When he saw Numar at the bedroom window, one of them immediately asked with an unkind face, "Colonel, what are you doing?" ”
It seemed that Yuri had started the coup d'état ahead of schedule, and Colonel Numar's expression was a little more gloomy and silent than the previous two days.
When questioned by a police officer, he only smiled slightly, and then waved out the window and said, "...... Where is the gas pipeline out there? I was sleeping soundly when I was woken up by an explosion, so I came over and took a look! ”
With that, and without waiting for them to continue their questioning, the Colonel walked back to the bedside with great cooperation, and lay down on it.
The two police officers looked at each other a little, and after whispering a few words closely, one picked up the walkie-talkie and walked outside, while the other moved a bench in, which made him stay in his bedroom, and it seemed that he had no intention of going out at all.
Colonel Numar was a little displeased, but didn't say much.
After he divorced his ex-wife more than ten years ago, he remarried, and his second wife was a hot Argentine model, but unfortunately died in an accidental car accident within a few years of marriage.
has reached his age, *** and everything has been seen very lightly, not to mention that his love for power is far above women.
Over the years, Numar has been working hard to run his own business, and even his two children are not on good terms with him, but he is closer to his ex-wife.
Therefore, in this residence of the colonel, apart from himself, there are only a few subordinates who usually take care of his daily life.
Lying in bed and pretending to sleep, Numar's mind was completely lost with the occasional explosions outside the window and the noise of the whole city after it was awakened.
“…… Yuri initiated the coup d'état, right? ”
"I wonder if they'll send someone to save me......"
“…… The explosion just now was very close, was it from the police headquarters......
"Susie's stupid woman fed that lady dog so noisily that I really want to give him a shot......"
The colonel couldn't bear to wait for rescue, but what he didn't know was that a battalion of mercenaries led by Yuri himself had finally arrived in the nearby area.
"Damn, there was a car accident ahead and the intersection was blocked. Get off the bus, get off all of them! ”
After receiving the news from the vanguard dozens of meters ahead, Yuri impatiently grabbed the communicator and yelled in the channel.
Although La Paz is the capital of Bolivia, the road conditions are very bad, except for a limited number of main roads in the city center that are two-lane, and the rest has the feeling of a rural-urban junction in China's third-tier counties.
It's hard to imagine a nation's capital where more than three-quarters of the roads are narrow single lanes, and Bolivians don't have much traffic awareness, with three-wheeled motorcycles and bicycles parked everywhere.
When Yuri and the others entered the city, they were not stopped by the occasional police officers along the way, and many of them even approached them, asking if they had received orders to quell the rebellion at the presidential palace.
Along the way, they entered the city without firing a shot, but soon La Paz's poor traffic caused them their first trouble.
A private car and an ambulance crashed at the intersection ahead, blocking Yuri's planned march route.
The armored car and truck had no wings and could not fly, and seeing that it was less than a kilometer away from Numar, Yuri was ruthless and personally ordered the second and third companies to march towards the next target after the original plan to rescue Numar, while he himself took some people to rescue Numar.
It took four or five minutes for the mercenaries to get out of the car, and Yuri, wearing a tactical helmet and trying out the headset, made sure it could be used, and then continued: "Ichilian follow me, we are less than a kilometer away from the target. It wasn't clear what else was going on with the detour, so we walked over ......."
"Craft, you'll take a detour and continue along Marshal Boulevard de Santa Cruz, I hope to hear the news of the takeover of national television within an hour......"
"Boss, promise to complete the task!"
"Raul, the train station and the airport will be handed over to you!"
"Don't worry, boss!"
After explaining the task, Yuri waved his hand, and a reinforced company of more than 200 people rushed to Numar's residence under his leadership.
A large group of heavily armed soldiers marched on foot through the streets of La Paz, quickly alarming some.
So much so that when they arrived near Colonel Numar's residence, after two temporary defensive positions that had been piled up with sandbags from a long distance, some government soldiers raised their horns and asked questions.
"Which unit are you from...... Stop moving forward...... Don't come back again...... This is a cordoned off area by order of the president, and no one is allowed to approach the ...... without an order."
After the shouting was completed, I don't know if it was accidentally misfired, or in order to deter them, a gunshot rang out on the opposite side.
Yuri was taken aback, but quickly reacted again, it was a shot at the sky.
Colonel Numar's residence he had stepped on before, raised his night vision binoculars and looked at it, and after making sure that there were only a dozen or so soldiers from the Bo army who were in charge of guarding this place on the other side, "There are only a dozen defenders, but they have the defensive position to set up two machine guns, which is more troublesome." Let's not make any moves first, a few people who have played bazookas, go to a nearby place to knock out those sandbags, and then solve them in one go! ”
After a few years of service in the U.S. Army, Yuri remembers simple military tactics.
The two sandbag bunkers that the guards had made improvised near Colonel Numar's quarters would not be a problem to crouch behind three or four people, depending on the situation.
The most troublesome thing was that there was a machine gun in each of the bunkers, and Yuri didn't want to experience what it was like to be hit by a body armor at close range.
Fortunately, the mercenaries not only suppressed them in numbers, but also had to be equipped with no weakness.
Immediately, a few soldiers with bazookas quietly came out of the queue and went to find a suitable spot nearby, ready to take out the two sandbag bunkers with machine guns.
"Whoosh ......"
"Bang!"
Soon, several explosions sounded.
Yuri and the others were in front of the flames, and the two sandbag bunkers each ate two or three rockets, and they were directly blown up to the height of the sandbags and thrown more than ten meters away.
"One row, up!"
Seeing that he had successfully eliminated the sandbag defense, Yuri waved his hand, and dozens of mercenaries shouted, holding weapons and firing to suppress the defenders of the villa, while quickly approaching the villa.
This kind of loose charge is the most dangerous, most of the mercenaries' military skills are rusty, and the discipline is not enough, although there is an overwhelming advantage in numbers and equipment, there are still a few mercenaries who were hit by bullets during the charge, fortunately, they are not fatal, a simple bandage is enough.
Without sandbag bunkers and being completely overwhelmed, a dozen defenders fired a few shots and either retreated to a side alley and fled over the wall, or retreated back to the villa, but quickly surrendered.
After Yuri was sure that he was safe, he walked slowly into the villa under the protection of a team of people and met Numar, who had been under house arrest for two days.
"Oh, Yuri, my friend. It's a great feeling to see you again......"
As soon as he saw Yuri and his heavily armed mercenaries, who had lost contact with the outside world for two days, and had been worried for two days, Colonel Numar, almost with steps that did not match his size, opened his arms and hugged Yuri happily at a trot.
"Colonel, it's a pleasure to see you again!"
Yuri smiled and hugged him warmly, then said with a smile, "I'd love to hear from you, Colonel, about what happened in the past few days, but now is obviously not the time to talk about it." Get ready, Colonel. Oh no, you should be addressed to 'Your Excellency the President' right away. The presidential residence, police headquarters, and other places have been bombed, and my men have recently taken the parliament building and the railway station, and are now marching to the airport and the Ministry of the Interior......"
Before he could finish speaking, he felt a sound of good news from the communicator wearing a tactical helmet on his head.
"Boss, we won the ...... on national television"
"Good!"
He turned on the mic and then closed it again and looked at Numar with a smile.
"Your Excellency, you'd better hurry up and prepare a speech for the nation...... The national television station is already under our control, and my men will escort you to the television station at once, ready to announce the news of the coup to the whole country! ”
As soon as Yuri's words came out, Colonel Numar's eyes suddenly crooked with laughter, and the fat on his face trembled.
"Really......" His voice was impressively trivial, obviously he didn't expect Yuri's strength and efficiency to be so high, from the beginning of the explosion to now, it only took a lot of two hours, and almost half of the most important targets in the plan were taken.
Yuri met his gaze, gave a mild, harmless-looking smile, and nodded slightly.
"So, let's get ready to go. Mr. President......"
……
On February 13, 2008, the day before Valentine's Day in the West, a coup d'état took place in the landlocked South American country of Bolivia in the early hours of the morning that did not attract much attention.
Colonel Noumar, a former senior general in the Bolivian Army, staged an armed coup d'état in the capital, La Paz, because he was dissatisfied with the socialism promoted by the former president and the policy of nationalizing mines and oil fields operated by foreign and private companies.
The coup d'état succeeded with incredible speed, with missile strikes on seven important targets, including the presidential residence, the police headquarters, and the capital's garrison base, and hundreds of politicians, including the former president and the minister of the interior, who were missing in the bombings and coups, and thousands of police officers and soldiers missing or dying.
It took less than four hours for the coup forces to take full control of the capital, La Paz, and at the same time began to maintain order in the capital.
Colonel Noumar also immediately informed the nation of the news of the coup d'état through national television, and after announcing the tragic death of the former president and others in the coup, he announced that he would establish a transitional interim government and assume the position of acting president of the interim government and commander-in-chief of the national armed forces.
At the same time, he also called on more than 40,000 officers and men of the army, navy, and air force and more than 30,000 police officers throughout the country to pledge allegiance to the provisional government through television stations, and promised to file a case as soon as possible to increase the treatment of soldiers and policemen, and at the same time to ensure the status of the Supreme Court in Sucre, the legal capital, and at the same time promised not to let the coup d'état further affect the stability of the whole country, and the interim government will make every effort to maintain stability and guarantee that new parliamentary elections will be held as soon as possible.
For a time, there was an uproar in Bolivia.
