Anybody already made that thought experiment online perhaps ?

No. Anyone in power in the military has been pretty adamant they do not want to get involved in domestic political matters, and they wouldn't do anything until January 20th or whatever inauguration day is supposed to be, but if Trump hasn't left the White House and tries to keep governing by executive decree the military would be forced to pick a side.
I guess the weirder way would be to monkey around with the electoral college vote in December - MI/PA Republican's have already said no they won't interfere, and you don't have to worry about faithless electors when it's 300+ EV's not 270, but the legal mechanics of things aren't really as defined or understood.
