I. Intro
Jonathan Rhys Wilson, the Prime Minister, sighed when the President hanged up the phone. He was at President Redmond's bonfire, and absolutely would not care about the current news. The Trefoilland Communist Party was making increasingly dangerous edits every day, threatening the government's entity. The military was more and more sympathizing with the TCP, and that would never be a good sign.
"At least he is safe." said Wilson while looking at the moonlight, reflecting in the pristine Pacific Ocean. It was half past midnight at Trefoilland. But the State was always awake. Wasn't it its job anyway?
The Trefoilland Communist Party was a major critic of the government's policies for many years. Installation of foreign multinationals in Trefoilland, increasing dependency to foreign products.... the TCP was claiming socialism in Trefoilland was being slaughtered and judged recent policies against the constitution. But they were recently talking about a Communist Revolution, predicting the government's downfall. Protests increased in major cities and many embassies, notably ViZion's, was hosting an angered Communist Youth Movement.
These messages were ignored by the government until the military began to sympathize them. When the military starts to enter politics in any country, then the governmental authority is in trouble. It's with this political atmosphere that President Hopkins assisted to the Bonfire.

II. Takeover
0034 hours. The Minister's phone rang. "Prime Minister Wilson here."
A frightening voice replied: "It has begun."
"Who are you? How do you call this private line?"
The mysterious caller hanged up the call.
He didn't know at the time several companies of the military were occupying towns and cities across Trefoilland. Tanks were rolling and jets were flying in major cities. Paratroopers were occupying primary infrastrutures, factories, ports, oil derricks. A military takeover had begun.
Her Secretary brutally entered the office. "Mr. Prime Minister, we get multiple calls..."
"...that the military is taking over?"
"I am planning a private jet for the government to escape."
"NO! Everyone will stay. This is our country, damn it!"
"Mr. Wilson, it's an emergency... we need to apply Code ZEPHYR..."
"Code Zephyr can go to hell. Tell all ministers to stay, or they will be considered traitors. I am contacting the Foreign Minister, Klaus Davutoğlu. At least he has a better understanding."
"As you wish... Mr. Wilson."
"Klaus Davutoğlu, Minister of Foreign Affairs."
"It's me Klaus. Wilson."
"Mr. Prime Minister, how are you?"
"Not fine at all, Klaus. The military is taking over."
"What did you say?"
"A coup. Look, I don't have much time to talk. Tell the President and Michelene to NOT go back!"
"Sure, and you?"
"I will stay. It is my duty."
"Oh wait, Hafız is already flying back."
"Crap. She'll get intercepted. Contact her airliner, quick."
"(sigh) Goodbye Wilson."
"I will be okay. Do not worry."
"I won't. See you."
Sirens rang throughout the city of Tripolis as paratroopers landed in major avenues. Marine boats arrived into the docks and Tanks entered the city through the highways. The Airport was occupied by platoons of paratroopers and shut down. Evertything happened really fast.

III. Submission
Meanwhile, all members of the government were waiting in front of the Prime Ministry. All were proudly waiting their fate as it began to rain.
"Wilson, you are a hero" said some. "Wilson, you deliver us to the horde." said others. But everyone was afraid and perplex about what was going to happen, as they saw the paratroopers covering the skyline.
Then trucks stopped in front of the avenue, and several soldiers dropped off. They ran towards the Ministry and pointed their guns at the Ministers. An ranked officer dropped from a car, arrived near the Ministers and said: "In the name of the Communist Revolution, you are all under arrest. Nice to see you here outside. We didn't have to drag you all."
