The man grinned, as his plans started to come together.
"We intend to secure control of the Government. It needs to look legitimate in order to not be construed as another coup. We need the Military and the Public on our side this time. As well, we will need certain 'obstacles' removed from our path.
For the moment, we shall use the sham democracy to our benefit. Play by their rules, so to speak. Taskmaster is gathering support in the junior officer corps, and we have so far had no real stumbling blocks on that front. The support of the Hogosha is assured. We may even be able to sway certain parties in the Blood Dragons and Golden Chrysanthemums who are tired of centuries of fighting for no gain.
What we want from you is to rebuild the Farmers' Alliance, and most importantly, it's political front, in order to gain public support. Rile up the conservative elements and get them to vote our way. By whatever means you consider necessary. I would find it difficult to fathom that the Emperor would have lost his support as quickly as he did without very clever manipulation of the media on behalf of Gallic agents and Kishiro.
Make those people that support him, support us as well. Can you do that, Barak?"
