And that idea did not work out well.
Also, the wording of, "more than one coup-friendly operation" is starting to come off as, "I was given one high-priority and I discarded it for the Alliance's favor." Captain Frankenstein has a point.

Operation: Steamed Hams
1. The first city is a recent addition to the Alliance, having been added to the territory just a few months ago. They were heavily integrated into other trade networks and put up a resistance. As a result, the city's been struggling to recover from the invasion, and is receiving a lot of aid funds to get rebuilt, only to see most of them embezzled. What position needs to be secured before all others?
"It would definitely be beneficial to have a Town Comptroller here. Money is powerful in political positions, and having someone in accounting might help us receive a cut in the embezzlement funds."
2. The second city is a relatively minor town with very little going on. It's far from anything important, and very isolated. It rarely receives attention from the Alliance, this recent purge is the first time it's been looked at in years. So, what position is most important to have supporting the coup there?
"Mayor. Since the town is small and unimportant, it might be good to test the waters of what subtle Pro-Coup propaganda we can get away with."
3. The third city is middling in size and in all ways perfectly average, with the exception that it's been in the Alliance and the Coalition before it for decades, and has not once even slightly been trouble. Why it was targeted for a purge is mysterious, but not to pass up an opportunity is similarly important. So what position needs to have a Valdragon Supporter in it there, and why?
"Gofer. It's most definitely possible that there's something happening below everyone's noses. Having someone entrusted with errands in that location can allow us to detect any plans the Alliance might have."
4. The last of the cities is large and important, and already has nine known loyalists in line to be appointed, though it's not clear to what positions. This city is effectively a lost cause, but it's too valuable to not take a chance that one Valdragon supporter could make it that much easier to integrate, or at least weaken it appreciably. So where should that supporter go?
"Junior Political Officer. This may be a lost cause in terms of conversion, but it's a bustling city with precious information."
