Chapter 391: Military Mutiny (Part 2)

"...... Your Excellency Pioneer, welcome to La Paz. I am Yuri!"

On the night before the coup, Pioneer arrived in La Paz two full days later than the time originally notified.

Inside a Warehouse on the outskirts of La Paz, when the ferocious mechanical giant over five meters tall appeared before Yuri and his men, even though he and the trusted confidants he had cultivated were not dealing with Mechanical Life for the first time, they were still startled.

In terms of sheer impact, Number Two, who looked similar in size to a jaguar, was indeed far inferior to Pioneer, who had just finished replacing his New Body.

No one dared to step forward to question why he was late, and Pioneer naturally would not take the initiative to tell them that, in order to ensure he would not be exposed during the coup, he had stayed at Base No. 2 for a few more days to have Atlas and the others add a set of Optical Stealth Device to his body.

"Is the Presidential Residence the only target I need to resolve?"

Pioneer asked with interest; the cold, mechanical voice unique to a Decepticon made him sound like a cold, heartless war machine rather than an intelligent life form.

Therefore, even Yuri, who had dealt with Number Two for a long time and considered himself adapted to how to get along with these visitors from beyond the stars, felt unable to handle it once he was stared at by his cold gaze.

"Uh......"

After all, he was considered a ruthless, ambitious figure; although he felt a bit nervous inside, Yuri quickly adjusted his emotions and said politely: "The Presidential Residence is the most important part of the coup. The new president has no plans to go out recently, so he must be staying in the residence. Therefore, if you can resolve the residence at the first opportunity, the blow to the enemy's morale will undoubtedly be severe......"

He had never doubted the combat power of a Decepticon. A single Number Two could rely on the night in Rio to strike repeatedly, and in just a few months, at least a hundred people from the Rio police, political, and military circles, as well as gangs and major drug lords, had died at his hands. There was no reason why Pioneer, who looked exceptionally mighty, would be inferior to Number Two.

Of course, considering that Colonel Numar was currently suspected and under house arrest by the authorities, to avoid further complications in the coup, he still bit the bullet and requested: "...... Of course, if it is convenient, I hope you can also help resolve the threat from another target."

After speaking, he looked up at Pioneer; he was still somewhat timid toward this ferocious mechanical giant he was dealing with for the first time.

Fortunately, Pioneer was worthy of being the Decepticon who had stayed by Sun Cheng's side the longest; he was far less aggressive than Brawl or Number Two, and he was also more rational.

In his mind, the master's plans and strategies were always the most important, so after hearing Yuri's request, he felt no resentment or displeasure, nodding slightly with an expressionless face to signal him to state the target's location.

Yuri was overjoyed and hurriedly had his men take out two maps of La Paz and a military defense map, then pointed to several locations on the map.

"...... The Presidential Residence is here. Recently, due to a leak, security has been strengthened. A company of troops is stationed here and here respectively, and there is a platoon here...... This side is the station of the 712th Regiment, which is more than seventy kilometers away from the city center and the Presidential Residence. Nearly a thousand Bolivian Army soldiers are stationed in this camp. If possible, we hope that after you resolve the Presidential Residence, you can immediately rush here to block them. You only need to contain them for about an hour; as long as they do not reach the city center within two hours after the coup, we can end the battle......"

"Is that all?"

For the first time, a clear expression appeared on Pioneer's face; he looked somewhat disdainful, and even more displeased, "If it's just these two targets, I will end the battle within fifteen minutes."

"Uh......"

Yuri was stunned for a moment, then tentatively asked: "Are you sure you can resolve these two targets within fifteen minutes?"

Doubt was natural. Although Pioneer's combat power looked far beyond Number Two's by more than a notch based on his size, he had only been a Senior Agent of the CIA in the past. He had not been qualified to come into contact with the Battle of Las Vegas, and he was even less aware that a Decepticon born for battle could suppress high-level Autobots across ranks in a short time when firing at full power.

Pioneer gave a light snort, too lazy to say anything more.

Not long ago, four Autobots had nearly suffered a major setback in Russia. Sun Cheng felt it was necessary to wake up some of his subordinates from their contemptuous attitude toward the military power of human nations on Earth, so he copied the entire battle process filmed by his drones and transmitted it to all his subordinates.

That battle footage of the Autobots and the Russian Army did indeed alert many people. In fact, after Pioneer accepted the Task, he quickly learned about the military strength of Bolivia through various channels.

And then......

And then there was no then......

Making him deal with a country whose air force only had some MiG-23s, whose army couldn't even scrape together a third-generation main battle tank company, and whose air defense basically relied on cannons, was standard bullying.

Pioneer was silent for a moment, tapped his forehead lightly with his finger, and instantly, an enlarged image of the La Paz map appeared out of thin air before everyone in the Warehouse.

A burst of exclamations erupted in the Warehouse. Even Yuri was surprised, as it was his first time seeing the virtual image projection capability of Mechanical Life.

Unfortunately, Pioneer had no intention of paying attention to them.

On the map in front of him, several light spots were flickering constantly. Looking closely, they were clearly marked in Spanish with "Presidential Residence," "Bojun Zhudi," "Jingcha Zongbu," and so on.

"Leave these places to me to resolve...... Your men and Numar's troops are responsible for taking control of the Yihui, Neiwubu Dalou, Guojia Dianshitai, Jichang, and Huochezhan as quickly as possible. Strive to end the battle within two hours......"

Pioneer took on all the most difficult targets. He clearly remembered Yuri's plan, so the station of Colonel Numar's troops was not included.

Yuri hesitated for a moment. Out of trust in the power of Mechanical Life, he just nodded without raising any objections.

However, he thought about how Colonel Numar was now being heavily monitored by the La Paz authorities, who had very likely already become suspicious of him.

He immediately informed Pioneer of this situation truthfully.

"Oh, is that so?"

What he got in return was a cold response, and at the same time, another bright spot appeared on the map, "Then let's resolve his troops as well!"

After speaking, he retracted the light wall of the map projected in front of him, looked down at Yuri again, frowned, and asked: "Numar is an important part of the plan. The master does not agree to us being exposed to people for the time being. To avoid being suspected, this pawn must still be preserved...... How are your men prepared?"

"Everything is ready. If it weren't for the news received during the day that Numar had been stripped of his military power and placed under house arrest by the authorities, we had originally planned to launch the coup in three days......"

"Three days?"

Upon hearing this, Pioneer immediately shook his head, "Three days is too long. Numar cannot have an accident for the time being! You are called Yuri, right? I will give you four hours of preparation time. Notify them immediately; the coup will begin in four hours!"

"Yes, Your Excellency!"
