Chapter 712: Chapter 712: Raring to Go_1

"So? Do you have any ideas or thoughts?

It’s fine, we’re old friends here. Feel free to speak your mind.

If there’s anything I can do to help, I will certainly not refuse."

Petrov said without any change in his expression.

Mumu’s face lit up in joy. He leaned in, lowered his voice, and spoke mysteriously:

"The tribal chief said he has a connection with a commander from the Presidential Mansion Guard. This commander plans to stage a coup, and as long as their tribe cooperates with the actions, once the commander takes the reins, he will reward them handsomely.

Support from just one tribe is insufficient, so the tribal chief is going to employ his good relations with other tribes to gain their support for the upcoming mission.

Of course, once successful, everyone will be able to reap abundant benefits."

Petrov nodded; this was exactly what he had expected.

In Africa, such incidents occur relatively frequently in small countries.

A small-time military officer who has only a few hundred subordinates suddenly seizes control of critical areas like the Presidential Mansion and then announces a coup d’etat...

And surprisingly, these actions often succeed!

Such happenings would seem like a joke in major powers, but in Africa, they prove to be consistently effective.

The current leader of Burkina Faso, Kombore, rose to power using similar tactics and has managed to hold onto it for nearly twenty years!

Now, someone else is looking to overthrow Kombore’s rule in the same manner he did.

"Involvement in a treasonous act is a severe crime, not something to engage in lightly. If you cooperate and the coup succeeds, well and good. But what if it fails? Have you thought about the consequences?" Petrov reminded Mumu cautiously.

Mumu clenched his teeth and furrowed his brow:

"Kombore has been in power for over a decade and has made a mess of the country!

Our lives now are not only no better but are even worse than before his reign!

He has long lost the people’s approval.

As long as someone steps forward to lead, I estimate that many tribes nationwide would willingly coordinate.

Therefore, I believe the chance of success is substantial!

Moreover, the leading figure of the uprising is the commander of the Presidential Mansion Guard.

You could say that he controls the country’s most elite soldiers.

If he is at odds with Kombore, then Kombore has lost his most reliable backing!"

The analysis of Mumu, an indigenous person of Burkina Faso and leader of a large tribe who has access to many national secrets, is not without merit.

Clearly, according to his understanding, numerous influential tribes are highly dissatisfied with Kombore.

However, no one dared to be the first to stand up against him in the past, so everyone just muttered complaints about Kombore privately, without daring to take concrete action.

Now that someone has bravely stepped forward, everyone else will naturally follow suit.

They want to seize the opportunity of this ’regime change’ to reap substantial benefits.

Mumu feels that his tribe now has the qualification to participate in this level of struggle. With its strong and fit soldiers and the recruitment of a few hundred robust young men trained professionally and equipped with advanced weapons, his tribe should be on par with the Presidential Mansion Guard.

Therefore, he believes his voice should carry enough weight in this ’regime change’ to make the regime that is about to take control regard his tribe seriously.

In the future, they should be able to benefit significantly. For example, he could be assigned an important position in the newly formed cabinet, or the tribe’s territory could be expanded...

However, he’s naturally anxious as he hasn’t experienced such an event before.

So he specifically came to the Security Base to seek Petrov’s advice.

In his eyes, if someone like Petrov were to intervene, overthrowing Kombore’s rule would be a piece of cake.

However, constrained by the fact that the Wagner Company is a foreign security company, they can’t directly get involved in Burkina Faso’s internal affairs.

Although, if possible, he could pay to hire a group of Wagner’s professionals to lead his Tribal Armed Forces to ’participate in the war’ later.

Mumu also understands the principle that while elite soldiers are easy to train, cultivating a competent commander is significantly more challenging.

In his tribe with so many people, not a single person has received specialized military theory training. Strictly speaking, there are no commanders in the Tribal Armed Forces.

If Petrov’s support could be obtained, leading the Tribal Armed Forces with some professional commanders, Mumu even fancies the thought of aspiring to Kombore’s position.....

...

Petrov did not express his stance hastily. He merely smiled and said gently:

"I get it.

My current advice for you is to maintain contact with the tribal chief so you can keep up with the latest news.

Additionally, if possible, directly contact the commander planning to stage the coup. Invite him to your tribe, or you could go to the capital. You must meet and talk.

You are staking your tribe’s future to support him, so many conditions must be set-up and agreed upon in advance.

What happens if, after he takes power and is in control, he turns on you?

Are you going to attack the capital with those five hundred Tribal Armed Forces?

Also, I must report this matter to the head office to get the boss’s opinion.

When it comes to politics, the Boss is more adept than I am.

After all, I am merely a warrior who knows how to fight, haha..."

Mumu is unaware of who the boss behind Wagner Security Company is. He initially came into contact with Wagner Company via Song Xiaogang.

Afterward, only Petrov had contact with him.

But he is not foolish, looking at the scale of the Wagner Security Company!

This strength!

This equipment!

And there are so many formidable soldiers...

Petrov mentioned that they plan to build an airfield at the security base because Wagner Company has purchased several large transport planes. Future transportation of people, materials, and equipment will be via these planes.

Mumu has never heard of a security company with such tremendous power.

If someone were to tell him that Wagner Company is a regular army from Russia, or even an elite force, he would believe it!

So he sensibly never probed into the matter behind Wagner Company. After all, Petrov was managing this company, and his contact was all with Petrov.

As long as he maintains a good relationship with Petrov, that is all he needs.

Regardless of any deep secrets Wagner Company holds, what does it have to do with him?

Such a powerful company would certainly not scheme against him. After all, he is only the chief of a small tribe, and the money he owns wouldn’t even suffice to fill a small gap in their pockets.

As for the territories controlled by the tribe, Mumu doesn’t think they are very valuable.

You should know that in Africa, land and the population are the cheapest resources...
