Conversation between A. and P. (updated version, rewritten)

A: Are you absolutely sure about proceeding with this false flag operation? Have you thoroughly assessed the potential ramifications?
P: Without a doubt. We'll fabricate intelligence indicating an imminent attack from Romanum et Britannia Minor, providing us with the pretext to stage bombings at our border with Potenzia. Blaming Romanum et Britannia Minor for these actions will create chaos and divert all of our troops to the border, leaving the cities vulnerable for uprisings. Regarding the border guards, we'll ensure their safety by coercing their surrender before executing the staged events. If necessary, we'll address any resistance accordingly. Simultaneously, we'll instigate uprisings in our cities, capitalizing on the grievances of the unemployed while our troops are occupied at the border. This will enable us to seize control of key infrastructure and neutralize the oligarchs perpetuating our oppression. Your pivotal role will involve signaling the commencement of the revolution, culminating in a televised proclamation of my leadership as the vanguard of change.
A: The potential loss of life is deeply troubling.
P: Unfortunately, yes. However, it is a calculated cost, and among the casualties will be our adversaries.

Previous version:
A: False flag operation? Are you sure? Have you thought this through?
P: Of course. You'll feed them false intelligence that Romanum et Britannia Minor is going to attack our country in the next few days to take over because they think it's an easy target. Then we'll blow up a couple of our border towers and buildings on the border with Potenzia. And who do we blame for all this? We blame Romanum et Britannia Minor, Augustus IV will be shocked. Why would they blow up buildings on our border with Potenzia and not themselves? You'll say it's a maneuver to divert our attention from the border with Romanum et Britannia Minor to the border with Potenzia. And, of course, you'll feed them the intelligence that Romanum et Britannia Minor's intelligence services have been tasked to blow up those border facilities on our border with Potenzia.
A: What happens to the border guards in these fortifications? I don't want them to die in an explosion.
P: We'll force them to surrender under cover of night and keep them in a secret building. We'll blow up the buildings afterward. We'll let them go after the fall of power. But if they don't surrender, we'll deal with them as necessary. Anyway, you'll tell the oligarchs to put all of the country's troops on the border with Romanum et Britannia Minor because the situation is critical, they have stronger troops and more of them than we do, but there's a chance to scare them if you put them out in advance. That way we will draw attention away from all the cities and the capital. Your agents will go through the streets at that moment and call for an uprising of the unemployed, who are countless thanks to the policies of the oligarchs. They will distribute to the unemployed the equipment of the security forces, which we will conveniently take away from the security forces for "inspection and improvement", of course, we will tell all the chiefs of the security forces, so as not to arouse suspicion, that we have taken only from their security forces, and we will take from others when we return them. So, the protesters in each city will take over government buildings, media buildings, TV towers, buildings that control the internet. They'll call everyone to revolt. You will call those who control the troops on the border and give orders not to move anywhere, and you will also order the police of the cities not to resist, because it is already pointless and will lead to casualties. During this chaos, my agents will eliminate the oligarchs who have real power in the country. Also, the protesters will move towards the government building where they are holding you hostage. When you get the signal, you will have to call one of the guards into the room, then get rid of him with a shot from your hidden gun, which will distract the other guards and allow my agents to shoot them. Soon, all the cities will fall, and you will have to go on TV and to the protesters and tell all the remaining law enforcement to surrender, because you are the legal authority. When it's all over, you'll declare that I started the revolution and that I have more power than you.
A: Many will die that day.
P: It's true. But it's a necessary price, and what's more, your enemies will also be on that list.
