Chapter 399 Usurpation
More than 300 kilometers south of Kinsa, in the general's residence in the capital of Paimon Province.

Lumumba, the current senior official of Paimong Province and commander of the Paimong Provincial Government Army, was sweating profusely while answering the phone.

"Yes, yes, Mr. President, I understand, I understand, there won't be a next time."

After hanging up the phone.

Lumumba's face darkened and he slammed the phone.

Yes.

The ambush on the vice president not long ago was arranged by him. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, he did not mobilize any government troops in the entire operation, but instead activated an armed force supported by him personally to carry it out.

I thought it was a sure-fire operation.

Who could have thought that the result would be such a disastrous failure, with no one left alive, not even his people.

The operation failed miserably, and the president naturally questioned accountability.

What can he do? The president has already helped him to minimize the impact of this incident to the greatest extent possible. He can only repeatedly promise that there will not be a next time.

His hopes of becoming vice president were completely shattered.

"Damn it!" He smashed the things at hand, venting his anger.

When he raised his eyes, he saw that the captain of his guard lowered his brows, but seemed to glance at him secretly, and suddenly the flames in his heart jumped up.

"What are you looking at, bastard!" Lumumba picked up the whip at hand and swung it down fiercely.

Snapped!
The whip hit his face, leaving streaks of blood.

But he didn't dare to move. He just lowered his head and said nothing.

Lumumba vented his anger fiercely. After whipping the captain countless times, he kicked him over and turned away cursing.

On the spot, the captain of the guard slowly raised his head, with an inexplicable flash in his eyes.

At this moment, he still has an identity.

Not long ago, he was blessed with a part of the Soldier King template.

In addition to him, there are dozens of officers at all levels in the government army of the entire Paimeng Province who hold important positions and are also part of the Soldier King like him.

Ever since he was given the Soldier King template, he seemed to have awakened and understood his mission.

He also knew who he really needed to be loyal to.

·
That night, everything seemed calm.

Inside the general's residence.

Lumumba had just had a big fight with his black wives, and now he was sleeping with them, hugged by two of them, and fell into a deep sleep.

Outside the general's mansion, the captain of the guard waved away his men and walked out of the mansion alone.

In the darkness of night, in the distance, a group of armed soldiers approached quietly.

"Is he asleep?"

"No problem, I've already gone to bed, and I've sent the others away."

The two groups of people met each other and nodded silently.

The night was deeper.

This group of people walked through the general's mansion as if they were in an empty place.

boom!
The door was kicked open.

A group of people drove straight in and broke in.

In the bedroom, the dark and strong Lumumba suddenly woke up and sat up, and his eyes met with a group of people standing in the bedroom.

The crowd dispersed, and a figure with a face full of unhealed scars walked out.

It was the captain of the guard.

On the bed, a black beauty couldn't help but scream.

The captain of the guard walked up, covered the man's mouth without saying a word, and killed him with one blow, extremely cleanly and neatly.

"You! Apu! What are you doing?!"

"What do you think I'm going to do?" The dark face of the guard captain Apu looked a little eerie under the light, and also made Lumumba feel extremely unfamiliar.

He looked inside the house and finally understood the current situation.

His life was hanging by a thread, absolutely hanging by a thread.

"We can talk it out, Apu." He forced a smile. "Is it because of what happened during the day? I admit that I was a little impulsive during the day. I shouldn't have been so rude to you. I apologize to you."

Apu said nothing and drew his gun.

Seeing this, Lumumba's eyes were instantly filled with horror.

"There is something easy to say, there is something easy to say!"

The person in power of a province, at this moment, faced with life and death, behaved like a dog and actually began to beg for mercy.

"Shut up!" Apu stabbed the gun directly into his throat.

The next second, pull the trigger.

Blood splattered all over the wall.

The gunshots also broke the silence of the entire general's mansion.

A few moments later, a group of people rushed in, and then they saw General Lumumba lying on his back, dead as hell, and Apu, their direct superior, standing in the house.

Except for Apu, all those standing in the room were important officers holding key positions in the government army.

All of a sudden, they understood what they were facing at this moment.

"Good death!" Someone suddenly shouted.

"Lumumba deserves this, this is the punishment he deserves!"

"General Apu!"

"General Apu!"

Everyone suddenly became very sensible and started to shout in unison.

Not stupid.

At this moment, Lumumba was dead, and there were so many officers from the government army standing in front of him. How could a smart person not know what to choose?
Apu and his colleagues in the room looked at each other and smiled.

That night, an explosive news broke.

Lumumba had been abusing his subordinates for a long time with cruel methods. His subordinates could no longer tolerate it and took action to overthrow him.

In an instant, there was an uproar in the entire Paimeng Provincial Government Army.

At the critical moment, figures suddenly stood up among the government troops to voice their support.

These people, from top to bottom, all hold important positions.

It's not just one or two, but dozens of people from top to bottom.

These people represent various factions within the government army, and the total number of direct and indirect subordinate soldiers involved is several thousand.

For a moment, the silent majority continued to choose silence.

Those who are on the sidelines and those who are wavering will naturally lean towards the nominally advantageous side.

Dozens of soldiers holding important positions in the army, after working together to accomplish such a heinous event, actually took control of the overall situation. Even though they did not have 100% firm control over the tens of thousands of government troops in Paimeng Province, people always follow the crowd.

If no one objects, it becomes an established fact.

Once something big is done, no one can reverse it.

The current president came to power through a coup, and the same thing happened to them at this moment. Paimon Province had suddenly changed.

And Apu, with the support of everyone, sat on the position of the actual ruler of Paimeng Province, and no one dared to stand up against him.

The news reached the capital city of Kinsa, hundreds of kilometers away.

The whole Jinsa was shaken.

why?
Because Paimon Province is so close, so close that it is right in front of us, and so close that it can easily affect Jinsa.

On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?
His close confidant was killed, and suddenly there was a dangerous factor in his rear area, next to the base camp.

The current president was naturally furious, and he immediately ordered his armed forces to march to Paimon Province, attempting to send a large number of troops to suppress the unstable factors in front of him.

The war is about to start.

Salitos Province, General's Residence.

"I never thought that just a few dozen people could actually control the situation. It's true that human hearts are hard to predict." Zhang Yang said with infinite emotion.

His military strength of the three provinces, a government force of 100,000, was firmly controlled by 3,000 soldiers stationed among them.

This kind of control is all-pervasive and rock-solid, and does not require any extra thought. Even if someone has a little bit of disloyalty, in the army full of his influence, there is no place to hide, and any unusual movement can be nipped in the bud.

However, these dozens of people in the Paimeng Provincial Government Army were able to take control of the situation because they completely grasped the general trend and the people's hearts.

In the face of the general trend, everything is like an ant crushed by the times.

In a word, he who knows the times is a hero.

Or perhaps this type of control they have is not solid, and changes in the situation may cause the control to become unbalanced at any time in the future, but at least at this moment, they have successfully controlled the situation in Paimeng Province.

"If they can do this, what about other provinces?" Zhang Yang couldn't help but feel excited.

If one province does this, other provinces can certainly follow suit and start an uprising at the same time. If every province can get its own military kings to take the throne, then the entire Kongo will be...

As soon as the thought came up, it was dismissed by Zhang Yang.

No!

If he really did this, there would definitely be turmoil in the Republic of Kongo, the people would panic, and the situation would be out of control.

It would be bad if external forces intervened at that time.

Therefore, the military kings from various provinces should just continue to hide.

While hiding, he quietly cultivated his own military power in the army, and by the way, won the trust of those in power in various provinces, so that he could influence the decisions of those in power at critical moments.

enough!
As for the huge test that Paimeng Province is about to face...
Zhang Yang's eyes were filled with deep thought.

The president is definitely more powerful.

Although his soldiers had taken control of the overall situation in Paimeng Province, the power they controlled was still not enough to face the president head-on.

As for Zabol, we can’t openly provide support…

"It's not necessary to defeat the president. As long as we can stop the offensive and deplete his power, it can be considered a success." Zhang Yang suddenly smiled.

As long as it can drag the president into the quagmire of war.

By then, the country will surely be filled with public resentment, and local authorities will certainly not let go of this excellent opportunity...
·
The President has a strong military presence.

However, the strategy of Paimon Province is very simple, which is to avoid head-on confrontation and focus on depleting the strength of the President's army and dragging him into the trap.

What should have been a crushing situation turned into a war of attrition.

The situation became tense.

The power of both sides was being consumed at the same time.

But for Paimeng Province and Apu, the current ruler of Paimeng Province, not losing is already a victory.

Through direct confrontations with the president's forces, his authority has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the military again and again, and he has gradually established an image of a person in power who truly has the final say and great prestige. His control over the government forces in the province has been further strengthened with the subtle influence and help of dozens of other soldiers.

For a while, the intensity of the war affected almost the entire country and attracted attention from all provinces across the country!

When the current president was in power, no one said anything.

But now the president's army is suppressing a rebellious provincial army, and it turns out to be like this? This undoubtedly further proves the president's weakness.

Kongo is surrounded by wolves.

At this moment, they all bared their fangs and pointed their spearheads at the current president without hesitation.

"Lumumba, the former high-ranking official of Paimon Province, was said to be a close confidant of the president. The reason why he was overthrown this time was entirely due to the long-term tyranny!"

"The president's repeated protection and indulgence are the primary reason for today's situation. The president should bear the main responsibility!"

"We demand that the president resign!"

"Yes, take the blame and resign!"

Those in power in provinces across the country have stepped forward to give the crumbling presidential regime a boost.

The pressure is overwhelming.

Apu from Paimon Province spoke out at the right time, completely putting himself in the perspective of a victim and explaining all his actions as a kind of resistance forced upon him.

In a short period of time, he won the support of countless public opinion and people.

More and more people are expressing their support, and those usually silent opponents of the president have shown up at this moment and unanimously condemned the president.

It was overwhelming and could be described as enormous pressure.

The presidency was on the verge of collapse.

The president immediately announced the withdrawal of troops, went on TV, deeply reviewed his mistakes, and made a major decision...
Of course not resigning.

After resigning, he has nothing.

Instead, he announced that he would thoroughly investigate the crimes of Lumumba, the former commander of the government army in Paimon Province, and officially appointed Apu, the current de facto ruler of Paimon Province, to officially take over as the senior official of Paimon Province and concurrently serve as the commander of the provincial government army.

At this moment, he no longer cared about the adverse impact this move would have on the president's prestige. He only hoped to calm the public anger and, by the way, protect his own territory and his base, the capital, Kinsa.

Anyway, he came to power through a coup, so it doesn't matter whether he loses face or not.

As soon as the news came out, there was cheering in Paimeng Province.

Apu's prestige in the province rose to a peak in an instant, and he was intentionally or unintentionally portrayed as a righteous person who petitioned for the people and resisted power.

By some strange coincidence, Apu managed to secure his position completely.

·
Inside the General's Palace in the Province of Salitos.

Zhang Yang was overjoyed when he received the news.

What a surprise!
He never thought that after using chess pieces like the King of Soldiers, he would be able to achieve such a result.

Those dozens of military leaders in the government army of Paimeng Province not only successfully grasped the situation, but also further consolidated their position and confirmed their prestige in the head-on battle with the presidential army. In the end, they made the president surrender and legally appointed Apu as a senior official and commander of the government army of Paimeng Province.

"Doesn't this mean that I now control four provinces?" Zhang Yang said with a smile.

The three provinces in the Ming Dynasty were his undisputed sphere of influence.

One province is in the dark, and now his people have actually taken control of the entire province of Paimeng.

This wave of actions is really worth it.

The most important thing is that this action has further undermined the authority of the current president and further weakened his image.

Once the provincial rulers are sure that the current president is just a paper tiger, no one will be able to restrain them. This is not something that can be calmed down by the president making a public radio speech.

The next attack will only come closer and more frequent.

The position of president is doomed to be unstable.
