Milley was obviously afraid that President Trump would engage in hostilities and went around Trump to attempt and grab control, by talking with Gen. Li Zuocheng of the People's Liberation Army. Milley convinced him that the US would not fight in armed hostilities with the communist nation, according to the Washington Post. The book comes will be published next week
Two calls were executed. The first call was made by Milley on October 30, 2020, and the other was on January 8, 2021. In October, Milley concluded that the US was weighing and preparing a military attack. Milley said "General Li, I want to assure you that the American government is stable and everything is going to be okay. We are not going to attack or conduct any kinetic operations against you."

According to the Post, Milley was being supported by his prolonged relationship with Li, saying "General Li, you and I have known each other for five years now. If we're going to attack, I'm going to call you ahead of time. It's not going to be a surprise."

It was also revealed that the Joint Chiefs of Staff passed a "top-secret action" to prevent President Donald Trump from performing his job as Commander-in-chief.
It was Trump's military advisor General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who supposedly "was certain that Trump had gone into a serious mental decline in the aftermath of the election." Milley's resignation has been called for by at least 90 retired generals.

Milley reportedly said that Trump was "all but manic, screaming at officials and constructing his own alternate reality about endless election conspiracies," according to CNN.
As such, the authors state, "Milley was overseeing the mobilization of America's national security state without the knowledge of the American people or the rest of the world."
Milley is reported to have asked for a "secret meeting" at the Pentagon on January 8, in the wake of the Capitol riot that left one Trump supporter, Ashli Babbit, dead at the hands of police, and told staff that unless he was involved, they were not to take orders from anyone.

"No matter what you are told," Milley said, directly threatening presidential power, "you do the procedure. You do the process. And I'm part of that procedure." He sought visual consent from each person at that meeting before proceeding, and asked: "Got it?"
