Nor did he secure political and military alliences before hand. You can only stop coups by voting if it is a really shit coup lol

He actually did have the backing of a lot of the military top brass. The problem is that the rank and file wouldn't back the brass in clearly violating lawful orders from the government. A big part of why those soldiers sent into parliament did such a shit job is because they obviously weren't even sure they were supposed to be there.
