In the abandoned tram in maintenance workshop 5 at Greston Station, Edinburgh, a lame middle-aged man lies on a simple bar with the radio on, and several gray-haired old men sit on two tables near the bar. With the outbreak of war, more than half of the tram drivers and maintenance workers were drafted into the reserves, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled.

"All Scottish citizens, I am Fletcher Gordon, Chief of the General Staff of the Scottish Army, and on behalf of all the Army General Staff and the soldiers who defy evil and uphold justice, I make a proclamation to you: Since becoming Prime Minister in 1939 and serving as President and Prime Minister in 1940, Alex Chaggs Barriol has committed many crimes such as violating the Constitution, rigging elections, persecuting officials, defrauding Parliament, interfering with the administration of justice, abusing power, and we are experiencing this terrible war, It was precisely because of his blind and arrogant misjudgment. Now, in order to save our country and people from even greater losses, we arrest them in the name of the people and the army, and we will give them a fair trial! ”

An unfamiliar baritone voice on the radio stunned the people in the old tram. They are not ignorant of Barriol's crimes, and over the past decade, many have tried to express their grievances in a tough or soft way, only to be either retaliated against or ignored.

"Arrested? Arrested! Well, very good! An old man stood up with a wine glass in his hand, "This is definitely something to celebrate all over the country!" ”

"Hey, don't be too happy about this!" The middle-aged man behind the bar reminded, "There are still many people in this country who have benefited from him, so they swear allegiance to him, once these people save him, I don't think the army staff can control the situation, so ah, don't go out to discuss this matter, so as not to get into trouble!" ”

The old man shouted, "Ah, this group of staff officers is too stupid! is still waiting for the trial, wouldn't it be nice to be caught and shot directly! ”

The old man sitting at the table with him sneered: "Hey, if they have such courage, they don't need to wait until now, they should have arrested him a few years earlier!" I think ah, we have a strange army, which pursues youth like the Irish, overestimates ourselves like the Japanese, and is inflexible like the Germans! ”

The radio was broadcasting the announcement over and over again, and several people were chatting, when the sound of the radio suddenly stopped, and after a while, a voice in a hurried tone said: "Emergency, emergency, the army staff is besieged by rebels, and the forces of justice need everyone's support!" Soldiers! Militiamen! Citizens! Please take up your weapons and stand up bravely to defend our freedom and defend our country! ”

Stimulated by the alcohol, the old men rolled up their sleeves and rubbed their hands, and although they all had some difficulty running, they were full of righteous indignation to seek justice.

"Forget it, everyone!" The lame middle-aged man shouted, "You are not soldiers, you have no weapons, and the army general staff is nearly ten kilometers away from us, how are you going to go?" Do you ride a bike? ”

Since the outbreak of the war, Edinburgh's tram lines have been out of service due to occasional Allied bombings and the enlistment of drivers and maintenance workers into the reserves.

"Who said we don't have weapons?" The loudest old man shouted, "We have fists, sticks, and bottles!" As for how to get there, I don't think we need to worry at all, it won't be long before the streets will be full of cars bound for the Army General Staff, and we'll just catch one! ”

As the old men walked out, they shouted, "Yes! If we don't stand up at this time, our children and grandchildren will have to live under the shadow of a dictatorship forever! ”

The middle-aged man thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Wait! ”

With that, he opened the compartment under the bar, took out an oiled paper bag, and opened it in twos and threes, revealing a revolver and a few rounds of ammunition.

"This is my private treasure, which was intended to be a hero when the English rushed in, and now it seems that it may have to be put to use in advance."

The old man with a loud voice danced with his eyebrows: "Ha! I said Gris, I didn't expect you to have such a good product in addition to wine here! Okay, okay, whatever, do you want to fight with us? ”

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "As far as my leg is concerned, it's better to stay here and wait for the good news of everyone's victory!" ”

The old man picked up the revolver and bullets he had placed on the bar: "I think you're afraid that someone will empty your wine cabinet when you're not there!" ”

The middle-aged man said without thinking: "When you return triumphantly, my wine cabinet is open for everyone to drink!" ”

The old man with a loud voice had already walked to the door, and he turned back and said, "Then it's a deal!" ”

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, outside the Scottish Army General Staff building, thousands of officers and men belonging to the Capital Garrison Division and the 14th Infantry Division had blocked all ground access routes, bringing not only armoured vehicles, but also field guns and mortars, while the Scottish Army General Staff building was guarded by a small number of directly subordinate guard units of less than 200 and about 300 staff, including the staff officers.

Despite the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, the Army Staff personnel were not at all inferior to each other in terms of momentum, they guarded the windows everywhere, deliberately extended the barrels of their guns outside, placed two or three grenades in conspicuous places, and also used more impactful soft lethal weapons - General Gordon, Chief of the Army General Staff, personally used a loudspeaker to the officers and soldiers outside the building to confess Barrio's various culpabilities, analyze the causes and consequences of the war, and assure the officers and soldiers that the coup would quickly end the war. Scotland will never swim with more casualties and losses!

The Capital Garrison Division can be said to be Barriol's personal guard troops, they have been stationed in the capital area for a long time, not only their salaries are higher than those of ordinary army units, but they also enjoy certain privileges from officers to soldiers, most of them are loyal to Barrio, but even the top commander of the division does not know where Barrio himself is being detained, and he only follows the instructions of Defense Minister Elsceth to send troops to surround the Army General Staff, so they dare not easily launch a strong attack on the Army General Staff building, However, the reaction of most officers and men to Gordon's statement and agitation by Chief of the Army General Staff was to ignore it.

As for the 14th Infantry Division, which has recently been transferred to the capital region, it is an integrated unit that uses Japanese weapons and equipment and has been trained by Japanese instructors, and they are neither blindly worshipping Barriol like the Capital Garrison Division, nor are they as fanatical and fearless as the Japanese instructors hoped, and the reason why their troops rushed from the nearby defense area was entirely because Defense Minister Elces gave their commanders an order to "assist the Capital Garrison Division in encircling and suppressing the rebels." Listening to the generous presentation of the Chief of the General Staff of the Army, many officers and soldiers were shaken.

On the other hand, in Bleithbridge, where the 1st Artillery Division of the Scottish Army was stationed, Defence Minister Elsceth was slow to wait for the troops of the 8th Cavalry Division and the 12th Infantry Division, which had already received a coded telegram from the Army General Staff to learn that Barriol had been controlled by military coupers. The Chief of the General Staff of the Army demanded that the commanders of the two armies, from the perspective of safeguarding national interests and defending the will of the republic, strictly guard the defense zone of their headquarters in the next few days, and not move troops lightly no matter what happens.

The 8th Cavalry Division and the 12th Infantry Division chose not to move, and the officers and men of the 1st Artillery Division also secretly supported their "Gordon the Brave" with an attitude of inaction, forcing Elsceth to seek the distance and urgently transfer the Capital District Garrison Division to support. Until then, he had neither enough men nor a proper way to rescue Barriol, who had been held at an ammunition depot. With the passage of time, the situation gradually accumulated from quantitative changes to qualitative changes as expected by opponents - in the case of being convinced that Barriol has been controlled by the military, all walks of life in Scotland have joined the ranks of denouncing the "dictator" Barrio, and the former Justice Flod, who is idle at home, also appeared at a critical moment to expose the inside story of Barriol's forced constitutional change and usurpation of power, triggering waves of anti-Barrio voices!

Shortly after the news broke that Barrio was under the control of the Scottish military, the coalition forces suspended their offensive on all fronts, telling the Scottish military and civilians through radio and propaganda leaflets that "Barriol and his backers behind it are the real culprits that triggered the war" and that "as long as Barrio is out of power, the coalition forces are willing to unconditionally start armistice negotiations with the new Scottish regime."

The statement of the coalition forces undoubtedly became the last straw that crushed the Barriol forces, and from the front line to the rear, various departments of the Scottish army successively sent telegrams announcing their support for the arrest of Barriol by the Army General Staff. In the midst of this stormy wave of opposition, Secretary of Defense Elceth made the old mistake of hesitation, although more than 2,000 soldiers sent by the Capital Garrison Division rushed to Blythbridge and took over the artillery area where the "Gordon the Brave" seized Barriol from the 1st Artillery Division.

Elsceth's hesitation gave the Scottish Army General Staff a perfect opportunity to fight back. Hundreds of thousands of agitated people surrounded the troops of the Garrison Division and the officers and men of the 14th Infantry Division outside the General Staff Building, blocking their food and supplies from the station, which greatly undermined their morale, and then under the persuasion of General Gordon, the commander of the 14th Infantry Division announced that he had joined the anti-Barriol camp, and the officers and men of the division quickly took control and seized all the Japanese instructors, and with the assistance of the people and the militia, the troops of the Garrison Division were disarmed.

The mid-level officers of the 1st Artillery Division joined forces to drive out Ersceth and his summoned garrison divisions, retaking the fortified area, and thus cutting off the desire of Barriol's supporters to rescue him. Two days later, Elsceth and other military and political officials who had risen to prominence during the Barriol reign were either arrested or hastily fled, and the Scottish Provisional Government, led by General Gordon, Chief of the Army Staff, and former Lord Chancellor Frode, announced the formal opening of armistice negotiations with the coalition forces, and the two sides fought until the armistice, which lasted only seven days......
