General Marshall David, head of the Army, had been seething for months about his loss to Alison for President of Kitex. He had complete control over the Armed Forces and began to establish 2,000 soldiers that would only be loyal to him, as well as elements of the Tank Corps, using force, bribery and threats. The General trained the soldiers in secret, usually in the woods in the dead of night and also took them on "exercises" where they'd role play out the coup. He also contacted "friends" in the Secret Service, National Police and high profile defense and financial companies.
