this outraged the remamats of the party. some wanted to gather arms and march on the capital but they couldn't not know.
gathering strength when frank joined the kaff hallberg war there armys marched to help prince hugo leaving frank almost completely undefended. but to keep the people in check the white guards the frankish secret police used terror tactics to keep the population in line. but this bread more anger against the king. soon a group of 9 democratic party members went to the coastal town of le mal and started plotting against the crown.
the party started gathering support. what members of the armed forces that could be gathered to the revolution were grouped into a unit which would become the consular guard. they also saw the support of the long neglected navy. they had wanted reform which the government had refused them. this added around 30000 navy personal to the revoltionary forces. know the revoltion had an army of around 30000 naval soliders and 1000 eilte soilders.
