The Valkyrie Plan, a masterstroke by General Klein Paul, seeking to use the national army as its backbone to initiate an armed coup.
The initial premise was for the army to "protect the citizens and secure the government" during internal labor unrest or foreign expatriate turmoil in Charlemagne. In so doing, the military coup could be cloaked in a veneer of legality, presenting itself as a lawful action against the rioters amid chaos. This would draw in numerous army generals unaware of the real situation, playing into the conspirators' hands.
