Operation Lexon Coup Attempt

RoP 2nd "Circhester" Divison prepare for the defence of the bank in Port Royal

## Overview

The Operation Lexon Coup Attempt was an attempted coup lead by Jeffrey in order to take direct control of the RoP-PRF War of Annexation

## History

### Beginning

Prime Minister Tom stayed an entire day inactive on a day in which Cosmic formed the Peoples Republic of Fishland allowing them to remain an independent state. Minister of State Security Jeffrey formed Operation Lexon to overthrow Tom and put himself in power in order to declare war and take full control of the conflict. Jeffrey siezed control of Port Royal and around half of the towns and cities unofficialy had people claim they were under Jeffreys full control although this number would slowly go down as the coup went on.

### End

The coup ended after Jeffrey lost power in Port Royal to Government forces. He announced that his forces in Port Royal had stood down and promptly fled the city. Jeffreys coup had turned from relatively supported by PLD members to totally opposed after a few hours as Jeffrey added the Monarchist Front to his own new unity government, a party that many in the PLD accused of being "fascist" for their use of fascist songs and leader Enriques constsient dark "jokes" over subjects such as race, sexuality and nazism. Jeffrey had also not gained the amount of support he hoped to gain from other ministries with the Ministry of Finance explicity stating they did not recognise Jeffrey and refused to work with him, Deputy Prime Minister and Infastructure Minister Amo also did not recognise the coup in any way alongside the workers ministry.

### Who Won?

The Attempt was a total RoP Government Victory. Jeffreys army totally collapsed as many deflected to the RoP Government as Jeffreys decisions became more and more disliked by many in the PLD and other parties. When the Ministry of Finance boarded up the bank and said they would fight to the end Jeffrey realised his time was up and fled the city without entering any active combat.

## Factions

### Operation Lexon

Operation Lexon was a group of rag-tag loosely defined oposition leaders, The group being together only for the single act of defeating the RoP Government and replacing Tom meant that it is almost unknown who or who wasnt a member. Other PLD members like Sealand and Amo were both not members of the Operation despite Sealand at first being in support of the coup as a tempoary fix however he backed out when Jeffrey consolidated power as a new government rather than only using the power to defeat Fishland in the RoP-PRF War of Annexation. Monarchist Front members backed the coup as they opposed Tom from the start and also wanted to see the total defeat of Fishland, However Jeffrey would remove Enrique from his coalition as PLD members protested the move,

### Republic of Polynesia

The RoP under Prime Minister Tom had just come out of a period of Belgs multi term PLD domination that had been able to make the RoP into a secular social democracy. Tom wished for a slightly more radical approach to the PLD and were backed by the PLD themselves. The RoP Army was also at a relativley strong point after learning the lessons of their costly victories months prior at the Circhester War of Independence, Halloween War and November 16th Attempted Coup they had been able to create new training facilities and had new armour that had been tried and tested to be well made. However the relative political insatbilty caused by the Monarchist Fronts consistent radical extremism and their utter opposition of Toms RoP made the RoP in a weak state to have some kind of a chance to fall to a coup especially if it gained enough support to occur as Jeffreys Operation Lexon nearly did.
