Johann Leipzig was a Malgravean politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Malgrave from 1960 to 1974. Johann is infamous in Malgrave for being the most high-profile Malgravean politician to be convicted of treason and is often used as a cautionary tale to remind those in power about the importance of following the principles of social solidarity.
Johann's son Robert Leipzig went on to serve as Minister of National Defence from 2005 to 2013.
Early life and career
Johann Leipzig was born in Admah, as one of the first citizens born in the original homeland they were taught both Malgravean Ancient and Imerian, with the language being taught as a measure to communicate more freely with liberated Imerian slaves as some struggled to learn Malgravean Ancient.
Not much is known about Johann's early life in the original homeland due to the loss of records suffered during the Great Exodus, however, from available data, it is known that Johann was an average student, although, one that was noted for his ability at several sports that were popular at the time like fencing and swimming.
In 1930 Johann Leipzig joined the Malgravean Royal Navy and was part of the task force that helped defend civilian transports that took part in the Great Exodus. Johann received praise from his colleagues and superiors for his bravery and quick thinking in leading damage control teams during the exodus. For his actions as part of this operation, Johann was awarded the Admah Shield, a naval award that rewards those for brave and meritorious conduct.
Johann Leipzig continued to serve in the Royal Navy for the next decade conducting numerous overseas operations to aid intelligence gathering and scientific exploration rising to the rank of Corvette Captain, however, in 1953 he retired from service to enter into the political field as the leader of a new political party.
Prime Minister
Prior to establishing the Action Party, Johann Leipzig had considered himself to be a supporter of the Conservative Party, however, he found himself disagreeing with decisions taken by the party around the Royal Navy and was personally unsatisfied with their electoral chance as they had been unable to form a government since the 1920s.
In response, Johann formed the Action Party, however, while he was able to gain some traction amongst military veterans he was unable to achieve widespread support across the country. While Johann's actions didn't achieve the results he expected they had resulted in making life more difficult for the Conservative Party, and talks between the two sides on potential endorsement deals started in 1956 which eventually evolved and resulted in an agreement that forged the Conservative Action Party.
Initially, the Conservative Action Party performed badly in opinion polls, however, a mixture of issues such as the fallout of Operation Swift and the decision of Helen Magnus to withdraw from politics led to the CAP and Johann Leipzig winning the 1960 Malgravean General Election.
Johann Leipzig's initial focus was directed to the industrial city of Pakosc, as the Special Investigative Service noted concerns over the safety of the city. In response, Johann Leipzig authorised the launch of three offensive operations known as Operation Shield, Operation Hammer and Operation Bastion as part of an effort to control the area around Pakosc. While all operations were successful in their goals and resulted in the withdrawal of NWR forces from multiple positions, the Territorial Defence Force sustained heavy casualties which combined with low pay and poor living conditions resulted in the TDF announcing the start of strike action.
In response to the strike, Johann Leipzig attempted to use elements of the Royal Guard to arrest the ringleaders of the strike action, however, in this, he was stopped by Paragon-King Gianfranco Zunino who made a rare intervention utilising his limited powers to counter the order and ban the Royal Guard from intervening in workers disputes in the future. In response Johann Leipzig thought about using the Special Investigative Service, however, he was convinced by his colleagues to instead negotiate with the TDF and after a series of talks the two sides were able to reach an agreement that included set wage increases and base improvements in return for the gradual dismantlement of the TDF union.
As these strikes were just coming to an end, the SIS started to receive fresh intelligence that the National Workers' Republic was planning an offensive operation against Pakosc. Johann Leipzig and his cabinet were unwilling to throw the Territorial Defence Force into action so shortly after the strikes, so instead ordered the city to be evacuated and plans for a counter-offensive to be drawn up.
While a majority of civilians complied with the evacuation, a large section of the 2nd Southern Training Regiment and students and staff from the Pakosc Military Academy refused and started to fight off the advancing forces of the NWR. Initially, the Battle of Pakosc was a costly mistake from the Conservative Action Party, however, a mixture of highly publicised supply drops and bombing runs from the Malgravean Air Force combined with disunity between the various left-wing parties in Malgrave led to the Conservative Action Party pulling off a surprise electoral win.
After the NWR assault on Pakosc was repelled, the Malgravean government started to take a more cautious approach to future offensive operations and completed the full redeployment of the Territorial Defence Force which resulted in the liberation of several villages that the NWR had used to launch their assault on Pakosc.
Arrest and Execution
Johann Leipzig was able to guide the Conservative Action Party to victory in the 1970 Malgravean General Election, with the start of the decade being relatively calm as bad weather put a halt on any large-scale offensive operations. At this time, Adalbert Kaczmarek then the Minister of Justice started to investigate reports of corruption impacting several projects designed to increase the combat effectiveness of the Territorial Defence Force.
After a two-year investigation, the Ministry of Justice charged Johann Leipzig with both corruption and treason against the Malgravean state and people. After a short trial, the now former Prime Minister was executed and buried in an unknown location. Johann Leipzig was replaced by Adalbert Kaczmarek who served as Prime Minister until 1980.
