It was the 52nd Birthday of the Archchancellor.
He was smiling and wvaing, and promising a glorious new age of expansion for the people.
He was therefore surprised when his trusted Commander of the Patriot Elite, the young and ambitious Ulli Vyarin, pushed him out of the way, and announced this was so, and the old age ended now.
Suddenly, two T-80 Battletanks rumbled into the square, and the crowd screame dand panicke,d and the Patriot Elite ruthlesly slaughtered the standard regulars around the walls.
Valdez watched with horror as his most loyal soliders betrayed him, and as the man he treated like a son plunged his ceremonial dagger- the one Valdez had given to Ulli himself- into his beating heart.
As his lifeblood slipped away, he wondered how his paranoia and suspicion had completely managed to miss a coup of this size.

MEANWHILE....
"General Arkady! The Capital has been seized by the Patriot Elite! The Archchancellor is feared dead, and the 2nd Army has been routed from the city!" said a breathless officer, arriving in the Headquarters of the Commander in Chief of Vexia's regular forces, General Arkady.
"What? How is this possible? The Patriots are sworn to die before they betray the Archchancellor!"
"I know, sir, but it seems those who would not swear allegiance to the New Imperator- Ulli Vyarin- were secretly killed before the putsch began- he also took the precaution of reprogramming all our mechanoid forces."
"Damn. Mobilize as many rgeiments as you can, and send word to our allies. If Vexia is to be restored, then we'll need all the help we can get. "

OOC: what are the political views of the rebels?

The Rebels consist largely of the existing Army, some 3 million men. Though many ar eexpected to deesrt or disband, we estimate as many as 900,000 will remain loyal to General Arkady.
They were loyal to the Facist Regime of the Archchancellor, however, with his confirmed Daeth it is believed they wish for the reinistutition of Democracy, absent from our nation for more than 15 years.
We wish to make the great Ulli Vyarin Emperor of Vexia, and to expand our glorious imperium across all surrounding lands, so that our race may be elevated to its proper place in the scheme of things.
In short,The Rebels are filthy and weak Democrats, and we are strong and righteous Imperialists.

Amongst the masses in the square was a budding young reporter. He had the whole on camera, broadcast live on CYN1.
He was so astonished at what he saw that the reporter forgot to run, it was to be his most fatal mistake. The rebels shot him twice amidst the putsch.
The Celtayoshi Military Command was immdeiately alerted. Quick plans were drawn up, before it dawned on the commanders, "who the hell do we contact to assist against these rebels!"
Despite frantic attempts to contact loyal supporters of the archchancellor the Celtayoshi government orderded its rapid deployment fleet to st sail, it was hoped that we could do something to crush this bloody rebellion.

OOC: do you maybe have a map, or a description of the layout of your country?

IC:
"General, It appears that Vexia has just been struck by a rebelion"
General Gennday Ivanov Dzerzhinsk looked up from his desk and made his way towards the soldier.
"Get the Defense chiefs to the meeting room, as soon as possible"

VBN NEWS BROADCAST:
"Good news has come at last to you, the people of Vexia. With the Death of the Archchancellor, a new age of prosperity can begin, and our people can rise to become mightier than ever before.
Today, the foul traitor General Arkady was killed when his limo exploded, the work of Trigger men(*cough cough*) loyal to the new order, who have been rewarded handsomely for their dedication.
However, the foul rebels continue to fight on, under a new leader, as the filthy vermin have proven themselves to be Weeds that must be rooted out.
Stand tall, brethren, and stand proud, or the venomous "loyalists" will crush our spirits."

To anwser the questions of the ignorant foreigners, our nation largely occupies the region surrounding the Baltic Sea, and we are east of Poland and Prussia, with Finland and the Swedish Dominions on our Northernmost borders.
(OOC- Where Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are in RL)

The Putsch is now officially over. after weeks of bloody combat, Vyarin is now Imperator of Vexia, and though the streets of many of our major cities are still plagued by rebel millitas, our forces are being mobilized for invasion of nearby Elostria.
The Age of Empire has dawned on Vexia, and the weak shall be crushed beneath our T-90's and Uberkonigstigers, as we shall stride forth and take Eastern Europe.
Godspeed us all.
