To be contrary I'll suggest Trynair.
Everyone involved would prefer to replace him with their own man. The Group of Four seems to be the kind of organization with only one way to leave. |

You seem to really get attached to characters. I hope for your sake that you don't read George RR Martin's series. All his books are bloody and no character is safe. |

Yes. Trynair. That will leave an unstable triumvirate with the majority of votes on one side and the majority of power on the other. |

Unstable, and with an immediate focus for the instability as they, um, deliberate on a replacement for Trynair.

while i agree the discussions about trynair replacement would be loud and life threatening, i wonder if they would bother.
this isn't normal times when a polite note from the chancellor is viewed as an instruction you must obey like it was in OAR. as was mentioned a couple of times, in the current conditions he is excess weight as people do as clynthan says or they die. there IS no diplomacy for the Chancellor to do. |

Spoilers, Spoilers, Spoilers
Trynair's turning into a non-entity, and thus entirely irrelevant and not worth killing to any of the others. Clyntahn won't kill Trynair because he doesn't need to - Trynair's already doing what Clyntahn wants with no sign of opposing him or even resisting. Magwair and Duchairn aren't going to kill Trynair - there's no point, and if they were going to kill someone, it would be Clyntahn. Looks like Magwair's in trouble, though. Clyntahn still thinks of Duchairn as irreplaceable for the time being, at least until the Jihad is over, because nobody else knows how or can do Duchairn's job. On the other hand, Clyntahn has already tried to arrange for Magwair's removal and replacement, and thinks that there are a lot of people who could do Magwair's job, and better. If Clyntahn makes it, Magwair probably doesn't, and Duchairn's left on shaky ground. I could see Magwair and Duchairn wanting to get rid of Clyntahn in both self defense and to reduce his meddling in the running of the Jihad. |

Spoilers.
yes magwair is out and dead as soon as clynthawn works out how to not have a repeat of second pasquale. you can tell clynthan would like to remove duchain at the same time but is willing to let him slide for now as he is actually comptent and magwair isn't (in clynthan warped view) |

Oh, that's simple. Not EASY, just simple. Don't fight the Harchong army directly. Or at least, not more than what's required to hold them in place in their current positions. Then do an end run around them and assault and capture Zion from the sea. They won't be able to retake Zion because they're too far away and Charis now controls their source of supplies. War ends and most of all those HIGHLY TRAINED serf soldiers go home because there's no war for them to get killed in anymore. How to assault Zion from the sea? Well the King Haraalds are supposed to lead the way and their completion has been delayed a few months... It's almost like God (aka Weber) doesn't want them to be used just yet, but does want them to be available next year when the Passage opens back up again. |

Icebreakers could provide a strategic surprise.

SPOILER FOLLOWS... Perhaps a triumvirate, but definitely an unequal one. From textev we know that the vase majority of the troops anywhere close to Zion are completely loyal to Clyntahn. |
