The first update

At 10 Downing Street, Prime Minister Major's office, the atmosphere was silent.

This time, in addition to Blair, the director of Scotland Yard, who stood in front of Prime Minister Major this time, there was also the commander in chief of the ground forces command, Admiral William. One was responsible for the security of most of Great Britain, and the other was responsible for protecting the entire country from war. Two people who were originally very different in terms of their powers came together, and they were also part of the department for the protection of national security, and they knew with their heads what might happen next.

The atmosphere was eerily silent, Prime Minister Major had two fingers in his cigarette that was about to burn out, his eyes fixed on the ceiling, and he seemed to pay no attention to the two men standing in front of him. After a long time, he threw the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray, turned his head to face Blair and Admiral William, and startled the two people in front of him at the first sentence of his mouth.

"There's a good chance that there's going to be a turmoil in Scotland and I hope you can prepare now and mobilize all the people you can to prepare for the conflict. In particular, the Royal Scots Regiment of the British Army, when necessary, the 3rd, 6th and 7th Battalions cooperated with the police at Scotland Yard to maintain order on the scene. ”

After saying this, he lifted his sleeve and glanced at his watch, then raised his head and said unhurriedly, "There are still six hours before this big decision is announced, and I think you two have enough time to prepare for a possible Scottish crisis, so good luck to us." ”

After listening to Prime Minister Major's words, Directive Blair of Scotland Yard stepped forward, his expression a little anxious, and Major's words were like a magnet, attracting his curiosity, "With all due respect, Your Excellency Prime Minister." What kind of big decisions are you going to make, let's have a bottom line in our hearts. ”

"Yes, we need to know what kind of decisions His Excellency the Prime Minister makes, and the sooner we know what is going on, the easier it will be to strategize." Admiral William was much more calm, and he also noticed that the top leader of the police and the top leader of the British Army were standing in the office of the prime minister who was about to resign at the same time, and a fool could tell that there must have been some major accident, and it was an event related to the political stability of England.

Major thought about it for a moment, and he felt that William had a point, so he told him all about his almost finished plan.

"This is my last move, and I hope that in the future my successor will understand my good intentions at this time. At least I want everyone to know one thing, Scotland belongs to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and no one can separate him from us. In three hours' time, we will announce that the Scottish Parliament has been cancelled by the UK government due to irregularities in the formation of the Parliament, so the Scottish Parliament will be dissolved with immediate effect and new elections will be held. ”

Admiral William and Superintendent Blair were shocked at the same time, and Prime Minister Major really struggled to prevent the North Sea oil fields from separating from Great Britain by having the Scottish Parliament re-elect re-elected, which meant that Salmond's vote for a referendum would not pass.

In this way, the anger of the Scottish nationalists can be imagined. They will think that Westminster is backtracking them, and that the more extreme nationalists will be able to unleash organized and large-scale riots to force the central government to back down. That's why the Metropolitan Police Superintendent and Admiral William were summoned to this office by Major and told them to prepare for possible future crises.

"But so far there has been no information of a possible large-scale conflict, so should the whole of Scotland be put under martial law in the meantime?" Director Blair hesitated, but still voiced his doubts.

"Where necessary, yes. It is much better to impose martial law in Scotland than to have the whole of Scotland in turmoil. Remember, Britain cannot afford to lose our domestic oil fields in any case. Even if you suppress their riots as you did the Northern Ireland Republican Army. No mercy. ”

Prime Minister Major's eyes grew more determined, and this was the only thing he could do before he resigned.

"I'll take all the blame afterwards and then announce my resignation. Director Blair, Admiral William. ”

Prime Minister Major stood up suddenly, and then bent down and bowed to the two of them in a sudden manner, causing William and Blair to look at each other, a little unable to bear this sudden gift.

"The future of Britain depends on the two of you."

After coming out of John Major's office, Admiral William remained silent, and Blair, who couldn't stand the silence, finally broke his previous silence and said to Admiral William, "General William, haven't you thought about what we will do after what happens?" ”

"What to do?" William asked him rhetorically.

"About Scotland, about our future," Blair said communicatively. Prime Minister John Major could choose to leave his post to give the Scottish side a way down, but what about us? Obviously we don't have that right. ”

William stopped, he turned to Blair and said, "Director Blair, I hope you understand something. Everything we do is to ensure the unity of the country. And it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and I support Prime Minister John Major's actions, no matter how dangerous his decision may be. Because this is to preserve our territorial unity. Although many people can't understand what he did, there is no doubt that he was right. ”

"But ......"

"Nothing but, if anything happens, I'm willing to stand up and face it with Prime Minister John Major. If you are not willing to fight for your country, then at least take a step back and don't stand in the way of those who are fighting for your country. ”

After saying this, General William left Blair alone, and he also had to mobilize the soldiers of the Scottish Royal Regiment to impose a conservative martial law, and if the Metropolitan Police could not control the situation, the army would intervene as the situation depended. Although these things are not within their remit.

Walking out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Office, the car that picked him up was parked right in front of the gate. Before General William was about to get into the car, the gloomy sky had just begun to snow, General William looked up at the gloomy sky and the falling snowflakes, and muttered to himself, "This winter in London is destined to be unpeaceful."
