My queen is rebelling!

When Radinoz followed Roman to the door of the room, he clearly felt more than one aura inside. One of them was so strong that he could hardly resist it.

Radinoz was already a transcendent in the middle stage of the Gold tier, and he was one of the best experts in the entire Silverfrost military. For him to feel pressure, could there be a ninth-tier expert in the room?

Radinoz knew all the ninth-tier transcendents in Froststar City, and there was no such unfamiliar aura.

Although Windsor-Driller was only at the eighth tier, as a royal of the Winged Elf race, his aura was already comparable to that of an ordinary peak ninth tier.

Radinoz stopped and turned to look at Roman behind him, a look of inquiry in his eyes.

Roman bowed slightly and said softly:

"There is another reliable senior in the army who is also willing to contribute to Silverfrost's rebirth."

A reliable senior in the army. Based on his investigation of Roman, Radinoz could probably guess who this so-called senior in the army was.

Radinoz's face returned to calmness, and he pushed open the door.

There were three people sitting in the room, two men and one woman.

One of them stood up and saluted immediately after seeing Radinoz push the door open.

Radinoz quickly recognized the other person, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said:

"Commander Jose, long time no see!"

Jose replied respectfully:

"Being able to see the Director-General here, I am even more confident in our cause!"

Our cause!

Radinoz remained noncommittal, moved his gaze, and landed on the other two people sitting on the sofa not far away.

A handsome young nobleman and a very beautiful lady... an elf!

Radinoz's heart trembled slightly. He had already determined that the beautiful elf lady was the one who had put great pressure on him just now.

The combination of a young nobleman and a high-level elf froze his thoughts.

As a high-level figure in the Silverfrost military, Radinoz had a deep understanding of the country's number one enemy at this stage.

The combination of this young man and woman instantly reminded him of a possibility.

After seeing Kern's face clearly, Radinoz's guess was completely confirmed - King Kern Corleone of Effie, and his rumored elven royal lover who was a special envoy of the Central Empire!

No wonder Roman was so confident that he could avoid retaliation from Effie!

It turned out that the person behind him was that monstrous king of Effie!

The suppressed and silent atmosphere was broken by Kern's chuckle:

"This must be the famous Lieutenant General Radinoz Hammer, the Military Police Inspector of the Army!"

Radinoz suppressed the emotions in his heart, narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Kern, and revealed a deep sense of vigilance:

"Your Majesty Kern Corleone?

Is that so!"

Kern said with a faint smile:

"Don't be so polite, everyone will be revolutionary comrades in the future!"

Radinoz pursed his lips tightly and asked in a deep voice:

"Can I understand it this way, as long as we help you overthrow the current regime, Effie will no longer retaliate against us?"

Kern still had a smile on his face, but his tone was unusually cold. He shook his finger and said calmly:

"It's not you helping me, but me helping you.

More accurately, it is to help you Silverfrost avoid the ravages and slaughter of war.

If I hadn't come, Effie would have received formal authorization from the Charter Alliance Organization and the Northwest Alliance to use troops against your Silverfrost in at most a month.

It is no exaggeration to say that your defense line cannot withstand even a day.

As for the general's latter sentence, I can promise that as long as Silverfrost is willing to reach a friendly cooperation and mutual assistance agreement with our Effie, we will not use force against you."

Friendly cooperation and mutual assistance agreement!

The muscles on Radinoz's face twitched fiercely. He didn't need to think to know that this so-called cooperation and mutual assistance was probably a blatant unequal treaty.

He looked at Commander Jose and General Roman in the room. The attitudes on their faces were very firm, and they had obviously made up their minds to stand on Kern's side.

A stiff smile appeared on the corner of Radinoz's mouth, and he said in a hoarse voice:

"I hope His Majesty Corleone will treat the people of Silverfrost kindly in the future."

Commander Jose and Colonel Roman both showed excited expressions on their faces. Being able to win over the Military Police Inspector of the Army Headquarters would definitely be a great help to the coup.

Kern still had a reassuring smile on his face:

"It's not me who wants to treat the people of Silverfrost kindly, but everyone present.

Comrades, the future of Silverfrost is in your hands!"

… …

"Directly assassinate Grand Duke Silverfrost and Viscount Claude?"

After hearing Kern's plan, Radinoz narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice:

"Grand Duke Silverfrost has a Legendary-tier guard by his side, who is almost always with him. It is too difficult to assassinate him directly."

Kern replied:

"He is almost always with him, which means that there will always be opportunities to leave. What you have to do is create this opportunity."

The eyes of several people fell on Radinoz. Among the people present, only Radinoz, the Military Police Inspector of the Army, had many opportunities to contact Grand Duke Silverfrost and Viscount Claude.

Radinoz frowned deeply, pondered for a long time, and nodded:

"There is indeed an opportunity.

Grand Duke Silverfrost holds private gatherings at the Silver Heron Mansion every few days, inviting a high-ranking official each time to connect personal feelings.

I have been invited several times. Judging from the time, the next one is not far away.

His Highness the Grand Duke will not let the Legendary-tier guard follow him at this kind of gathering."

Jose's eyes flashed with understanding, and he narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:

"Is it the kind of gathering that is rumored?"

Radinoz glanced at Windsor-Driller beside Kern. Perhaps because there was a woman present, he did not find it convenient to say it so directly, and just nodded silently.

Roman was obviously aware of this kind of gathering and sneered with some disdain:

"Since the Grand Duchess passed away, our Highness the Grand Duke has been unable to control his lower body more and more.

I'm very curious, will Viscount Claude attend every time?

Isn't he afraid that his sister will fall out of favor?"

Radinoz's voice had a strange meaning:

"Perhaps this is Claude's cleverness.

He was able to get away with the military salary corruption case this time, and it was not entirely due to his sister's efforts.

Now Viscount Claude himself has a very high weight in Grand Duke Silverfrost's heart.

In fact, this kind of gathering was first proposed to Grand Duke Silverfrost by Viscount Claude, and it was used to help the Grand Duke win over the great nobles and powerful bureaucrats in the country.

The relationship between men will deepen after experiencing this kind of thing.

Although Claude is greedy and cruel, his personal ability is beyond doubt.

Although this method is not presentable, it is very effective. Grand Duke Silverfrost did obtain more power from the noble council with his help."

Jose interjected:

"During this process, most people will also owe Claude a favor.

In fact, he has also developed his own power network silently.

No wonder the military salary corruption case caused such a stir, but Viscount Claude was able to be reinstated so quickly. His foundation in the military and political circles is more solid than we imagined."

Roman's voice did not show any emotion. He looked at Kern and said softly:

"What does Your Majesty think?"

Although the three of them did not say it explicitly, Kern probably understood what kind of gathering it was. He chuckled inwardly and nodded in response:

"I think it's possible, but in this case, only our General Radinoz can complete the operation alone."

Radinoz's face was gloomy and uncertain. He was silent for a long time, looked at Commander Jose and Roman next to him, and slowly opened his mouth:

"After it's done, Sir Lyon must be vindicated.

The Grand Duke's family must be treated kindly, and the resisting soldiers must not be held accountable afterwards."

The two immediately agreed.

Radinoz then nodded in agreement:

"Okay, but they must be carrying powerful magical tools, which must be taken into account, and the commotion must not be too big."

Kern clapped his hands and said:

"Don't worry about this. I will give you a weapon that can disable all Legendary-tier and below magical tools.

Your Highness the Grand Duke won't have a Holy Artifact for self-defense, right?"

Radinoz shook his head:

"He only has a Legendary-tier defensive equipment at most, and the rest are probably ordinary Gold-tier tools."

Kern made the final decision:

"Okay, then the first step of the operation is set, General Radinoz will assassinate Grand Duke Silverfrost and Chief of the Army Staff Claude!"

As Kern's voice fell, the expressions of Radinoz, Jose, and Roman all became deep.

Openly plotting to assassinate the ruler of a country was still too shocking to their spirits.

After throwing the useless emotions behind them, it was time to discuss the aftermath of the assassination.

Without waiting for the three to ask, Kern took the initiative to say:

"After the assassination is successful, the first thing to do is to ensure that General Radinoz can get away completely. My opinion is to frame someone else for the crime of assassination."

Kern looked at Radinoz and asked:

"Usually at your private gatherings, besides Viscount Claude and the invited high-ranking officials, is there anyone else?"

Radinoz replied without much thought:

"The Director of the Chamber, Baron Shepherd.

He is responsible for arranging and organizing each gathering, and the girls at the gathering are all… …"

Radinoz stopped in time, some things were still not easy to say so directly in front of the special envoy of the Central Empire.

Kern immediately said:

"It's him. When the general solves Silverfrost and Claude, he will imprison Shepherd and claim to the outside world that Shepherd planned all this."

A look of embarrassment appeared on Radinoz's face, and he said:

"This may be a bit difficult. It's no problem to subdue Shepherd, but to find a place to imprison him… Once the news of the Grand Duke and Claude's death spreads, the entire Silver Heron Mansion will be controlled by the Grand Duke's Guards in a short time.

It's simply unrealistic to hide a living person."

Kern waved his hand and said:

“General, you don't need to worry about this. I'll take care of it.

Speaking of which, about those girls, where do you usually find the girls for these gatherings? And how many are there, roughly?”

A slightly unnatural look appeared on Reynold's face, and he cleared his throat, saying:

“Usually, they are young female students from the Capital University. Oh, yes, recently His Highness the Grand Duke has been quite fond of a female actress from the opera house, so there's a higher chance she might come.

These are the girls who accompany His Highness at the banquet. As for the girls who stay overnight after the banquet, Director Shepherd arranges them all.”

Windsor's face beside him already looked somewhat unpleasant, and Cohen could clearly feel a piercing gaze stabbing the back of his head.

Clearly, he was questioning whether Cohen had ever held similar gatherings in Effie.

If the occasion weren't inappropriate, Cohen would have liked to retort, with Yadel watching over him, who would be so blind as to send women to the King, not afraid of being turned into an ice sculpture?

Cohen cleared his throat and said to the three:

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

“These girls are also important witnesses, so we must ensure they unanimously testify that Shepherd is the mastermind behind everything.

Everyone has weaknesses. Let General Roman handle this matter.”

Roman nodded with a serious expression.

Jose said:

“Once the Silver Frost Grand Duke's soul imprint shatters, the entire Silver Frost will quickly enter a state of martial law.

According to convention, the Chief of the Army General Staff, Claude, will use the Army Headquarters as his base to form a Martial Law Command and take over all military power in the country.

If Claude is also dead, then my direct superior, General Koch, the Commander of the Capital Garrison Command, will temporarily exercise the power of the Chief of the Army General Staff and serve as the Commander of the Martial Law Command, forming the Martial Law Command.”

A pensive look appeared on Cohen's face, and he asked:

“After the Grand Duke dies, who will take over as the supreme leader of Silver Frost?”

Reynolds replied:

“If the Grand Duke's legitimate son is already of age, he will directly inherit the throne and be sworn in as the new Silver Frost Grand Duke.

But His Highness the Grand Duke currently has no adult heir.

In this case, the Cabinet, the Council of Nobles, and the Army Headquarters will jointly form a National Steering Committee to jointly elect a person to serve as the Chairman, temporarily acting as the head of state.

Once the Grand Duke's first in line heir comes of age, the power will be transferred to the heir.

Under normal circumstances, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet would be recommended to serve as the Chairman.”

Cohen narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:

“Can the selection of this Chairman be changed later?”

Reynolds was stunned for a moment, then slowly nodded:

“After the National Steering Committee is established, the Cabinet ministers, members of the Council of Nobles, and senior officials above the rank of General in the Army Headquarters will automatically become standing committee members of the committee.

As long as more than two-thirds of the standing committee members vote, the Chairman can be impeached, removed, or replaced.

But this is very difficult, because Prime Minister Faria has a very high prestige in Silver Frost, second only to the Silver Frost Grand Duke. To bring him down… it's too difficult!”

Cohen chuckled and stared at Reynolds, asking:

“General, would you like to become the Chairman of this National Steering Committee?”

Reynolds widened his eyes, then slowly calmed down and said in a deep voice:

“If His Majesty needs it, I am willing.”

Cohen clapped his hands, signaling everyone to focus their attention, his voice unhurried:

“Let's sort things out.

After the Silver Frost Grand Duke dies, the actual legitimate power of the country is in the hands of the Commander of the Martial Law Command and the Chairman of the National Steering Committee.

These two people are our ultimate targets for the coup!

Take these two people down, and Silver Frost will be yours.”

Cohen's words were inspiring, but to achieve this goal, a more detailed and complete plan was needed.

Cohen's voice then rang out, looking at Reynolds:

“First of all, the most important point is that the Commander of the Martial Law Command has the highest military command in the country. Once our coup begins, we must prevent the Commander of the Martial Law Command from transferring troops from across the country to the capital.

As for the field army, we don't require them to stand on our side, but at least they must maintain a wait-and-see attitude. Can you do that?”

After a brief moment of consideration, Reynolds replied:

“The closest to the capital is the First Field Army stationed in Haru Province. Most of the commanders there are subordinates of Sir Lyon, so it shouldn't be a problem to persuade them to remain neutral.”

Cohen turned to look at Lieutenant General Jose, the Deputy Commander of the Capital Garrison Command, and asked:

“Besides the field army, the main military force in the capital, Frost Star City, is the Capital Garrison Command and the Special Operations Command.

How many troops can you control in the Capital Garrison Command?

I mean the troops that are willing to follow you to attack the heart of this country!”

Commander Jose was silent, thinking hard. After a moment, he replied firmly:

“Three infantry divisions, one mage regiment, and one knight regiment, roughly equivalent to a quarter of the Capital Garrison Command's forces.”

Cohen said:

“Very good, that's enough. Our biggest advantage in the coup is surprise.

The other side doesn't know who among us is involved, or which troops will participate in the coup. This is our opportunity and the key to success.

You first find a way to transfer the troops you can control to the vicinity of the Ministry of Defense, the Prime Minister's Residence, the Council of Nobles building, and some important facilities in the city.

In addition, try to transfer the remaining uncontrolled troops outside the city under the guise of military exercises.

This way, even if the Commander of the Martial Law Command wants to mobilize the troops of the Capital Garrison Command, he will prioritize your troops.”

Hearing Cohen's suggestion, Commander Jose's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied:

“I understand what to do.”

Cohen then asked:

“How many entrances are there into Frost Star City? I mean the entrances suitable for large armies to enter the city.”

Commander Jose replied quickly:

“The East Gate and the West Gate, and the three large bridges across the river to the north.

The stationed troops are the First Garrison Division under the Capital Garrison Command, personally commanded by General Koch, the Commander of the Capital Garrison Command.”

Cohen turned his gaze back to Reynolds and asked:

“Each unit has military police stationed in it. Are there any trusted subordinates of yours in the First Garrison Division of the Capital Garrison Command?”

Reynolds closed his eyes and thought for a while, then replied:

“Yes, but with just a few military police, I'm afraid it would be difficult to have any impact on the garrison division.”

A deep meaning appeared in Cohen's eyes, and he said in a low voice:

“They don't need to take any action, as long as they can report the movements in a timely manner.”

Then he looked at Roman again:

“Is the Special Operations Command stationed within Frost Star City?”

Roman nodded and replied:

“Yes, there is a secret facility in the northwest of Frost Star City, which is the headquarters of the Special Operations Command.

Surrounding it is a security brigade directly under the Special Operations Command, with about five thousand people, all 'conventional' troops.”

These five thousand people were the most troublesome. Once the situation became anxious, these five thousand "conventional" troops within the city would be the key chess pieces to determine the outcome.

Cohen raised his eyebrows slightly:

“Is there a high possibility of defecting them?”

Roman shook his head:

“It's hard to say, but I've met a few regimental commanders in the security brigade, and they are also senior alumni from the Military Academy, but we're not very familiar.

Moreover, compared to the field army, which is full of complaints about Viscount Claude, the officers of the Special Operations Command and the Capital Garrison Command don't have so many grievances.

After all, Claude didn't touch their military pay.”

Cohen's eyes flickered, and he said:

“General Roman, I remember you said before that there is a senior in the Ministry of Defense's Quartermaster Department who has a good relationship with you?”

Roman's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied:

“Lieutenant General Chambers, the Chief of the Quartermaster Department of the Ministry of Defense!”

A hint of ruthlessness appeared in Cohen's eyes, and he slowly asked:

“Do the soldiers of Silver Frost also receive their military pay once a month?”

The three of them shook at the same time, clearly guessing what Cohen was about to say.

Cohen's cold voice rang in the ears of the three:

“Defect Lieutenant General Chambers and have him intercept the military pay for the Special Operations Command and the Capital Garrison Command for the next month, as the start-up funds for the coup troops!

Distribute the money to the bedside of every soldier participating in the coup!”

Roman's eyes burst out with excited light, and he replied:

“No problem, I'll take care of General Chambers.”

Reynolds also said:

“I will mobilize the Dawn Society to spread rumors in the army that the suspension of military pay is Claude's idea. In addition, I will pretend to execute a batch of Special Operations Command and Capital Garrison Command officers who are making trouble.”

Cohen snapped his fingers and looked at Roman again:

“Finally, there is the most important intelligence. Going against the core of the entire country, our strength is definitely at a disadvantage. The only chance of victory is to anticipate the enemy's moves and act first.

To do this, the intelligence system is the most important. General Roman, one of your seniors at the Military Academy is now the Assistant Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, right?”

Roman nodded and said:

“Does Your Majesty want to defect the Director of the Intelligence Agency?

That's not realistic. The Intelligence Agency is a department personally controlled by His Highness the Grand Duke, headed by the Grand Duke's son-in-law, Perez. It's impossible to defect him.”

Cohen shook his head:

“I don't want to defect him, but to replace him!”

Cohen's words surprised the three of them, but Cohen didn't say it in so much detail, just telling Roman to get his senior on board first.

Cohen finally said:

“Okay, that's about it. The rest will be improvised according to the situation.

When the time comes, we will put the command headquarters in General Reynolds's military police headquarters, how about it?”

Reynolds nodded:

“Yes, my military police headquarters has three security regiments, which can protect everyone's safety.”

Cohen said:

“After everyone goes back, do your respective jobs, and try to win over as many helpers as possible, focusing on senior officials who have conflicts with Claude.

In addition, get a list of Military Academy graduates and their interpersonal relationships. You never know when it will be useful!”
