===Glorious Revolt and Republic===
Qiu Heng ended the war with the rank of full general, as did his friend and colleague [[Dai Hanjian]] who was one of the main planners and executors of the offensives in west [[Audonia]] and the [[Caldera]] operation. Both of them believed the home front had been badly neglected by the imperial government and the drug addled emperor [[Hongli]]. They especially disliked the growing popularity of democratic and socialist movements and their demands for a liberalization of the political system. To many in the military, the imperial system and bureaucracy had stopped being a guarantee of stability and transformed into a liability that stood in the way of dealing with internal agitators.
Qiu Heng ended the war with the rank of full general, as did his friend and colleague [[Dai Hanjian]] who was one of the main planners and executors of the offensives in west [[Audonia]] and the [[Austro-Caldera|Caldera]] operation. Both of them believed the home front had been badly neglected by the imperial government and the drug addled emperor [[Hongli]]. They especially disliked the growing popularity of democratic and socialist movements and their demands for a liberalization of the political system. To many in the military, the imperial system and bureaucracy had stopped being a guarantee of stability and transformed into a liability that stood in the way of dealing with internal agitators. The two officers created a secret society named the Lodge of the Righteous Serpents to gather like minded officers and overthrow the Imperial system and replace it with a military dictatorship. On December 16th tank columns aligned with the lodge entered the capital from all sides while squads of soldiers went took over ministries.Other groups went to the houses of ministers to arrest them, the minister of defense was shot and killed after he tried to resist his captors. Qiu Heng himself led the takeover of the imperial palace and the capture of [[Hongli]], forcing the imperial guards to surrender or the emperor and his family would be executed once the palace was inevitably taken. [[Dai Hanjian]] took to the airwaves and announced the [[Glorious Revolt]] had succeeded and the era of dynastic rule had come to a definitive end.
