After the outbreak of the Second World War, war raged all over Europe, including the British Isles. It's just that the war broke out mainly on the island of Great Britain. The island of Ireland has not yet been affected. The war in the British Isles, on the other hand, was mainly between Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland and the Kingdom of Scotland.

Before the outbreak of the last world war, Britain was the world hegemon, controlling the largest number of colonies in the world. It has the most powerful navy in the world. However, after the end of the war, Britain not only lost all its colonies, but also divided its territory into three parts. The Irish Independence Movement established the Republic of Ireland with the help of the Chinese Empire. The Jacobites also established the Kingdom of Scotland with the help of the Chinese Empire. The area that the UK can now control is most of England. Even Wales and the north of England were ceded to the Republic of Ireland and the Kingdom of Scotland, respectively. It can be said that the current Britain has lost its strength and has become a third-rate country in Europe.

As for the British navy, which is so proud, it is no longer there. After being sent to the bottom of the sea by the Chinese Navy during the war. The shipbuilding industry in Britain was devastated. All the large shipyards were dismantled, and all the equipment inside the machine was moved back by the Chinese. And, according to the Istanbul Peace Treaty, the British navy was also absolutely restricted. This makes it unrealistic for Britain to want to regain its navy.

However, it is clear that the British will not give in so easily. In order to reunite the British Isles and preserve the vitality of Britain. The British chose to cooperate closely with Germany. It not only provided Germany with a large amount of urgently needed funds for the construction of its navy, but also sent a large number of shipbuilding and naval personnel to Germany. Even the former Lord of the Navy, Henry Brown. Sir Charles also became Germany's shipbuilding director. Visible. In order to help the German Empire develop its navy, the British also did their best. The British did it. It is nothing more than a reason, hoping that after Germany defeats the Chinese Empire. Britain was able to take advantage of the situation to unify the British Isles and share certain interests in the process of dividing up the world after the war. Accumulate strength for future rise. Of course, this is a matter for later consideration, and the most important thing before Britain is to defeat the enemy.

After her defeat in the last major war, Queen Victoria and the Cabinet came under great pressure. The new cabinet has just been formed, and it is not yet in control of the situation in the UK. Fortunately, however, there were Germans who supported them, after taking drastic measures against them. The British government has finally kept things calm. However, in order to ensure that Britain's national strength could be invested in the war of arms expansion, John . Lord Russell was the Prime Minister's cabinet and began the dictatorship of Great Britain. Democracy and the like, all of them have been thrown aside. The powers of the Cabinet were expanded, while those of Parliament and the Queen were curtailed. This allowed Britain to recover within a short time after the war and begin to rearm its army.

After the war, there were 25,600,000,000 people left in the British Isles. The UK accounts for half of the population. The Republic of Ireland and the Kingdom of Scotland together also account for half of the population. In this regard, so to speak. The strength of the two sides is almost the same. It's just that, industrially, neither the Republic of Ireland nor the Kingdom of Scotland can compare with the United Kingdom. Fortunately, they had the support of the Chinese Empire, and their military strength was no worse than that of the British.

Before the outbreak of war. Britain armed millions of troops. They had to deal with millions of troops in the Republic of Ireland and the Kingdom of Scotland. The Republic of Ireland and the Kingdom of Scotland would certainly not be a match for the British, if there were no external forces. But. However, the Chinese Empire directly stationed a group army on the British Isles, a full 200,000 people!

Two hundred thousand elite Imperial Army. The role is very large. It was almost impossible for the British to defeat the Republic of Ireland and the Kingdom of Scotland quickly. Even though the armies of the Republic of Ireland and the Kingdom of Scotland were scattered across Wales and northern Scotland. But with the strength of the British. It's unrealistic to defeat the enemy in a short period of time. The 10th Army of the Imperial Army, on the other hand, became a powerful force to counter the British. In order to stop the 10th Army of the Imperial Army, the British Army had to concentrate at least half a million troops or more.

As soon as the war broke out, the British Army launched attacks on Wales and the north of England, attacking the defences of the Republic of Ireland* and the Kingdom of Scotland*. Under the fierce attack of the British Army, the Republic of Ireland and the Kingdom of Scotland came under great pressure. The Republic of Ireland and the Kingdom of Scotland were originally small states, which were used to weaken Britain with the support of the Chinese Empire. Despite the training of instructors in the weapons and equipment provided by the Chinese Empire, it is completely impossible to make the army reborn in a short period of time.

Compared to the British Army, although the British Army has never been very strong. However, in the last war, they fought against the Chinese army, albeit in defeat. But it also gave the British a glimpse of the strength of the world's top army. After the war, the British could only increase their investment in the army when there was no way to have a navy. The standard equipment used by the British Army is almost all a full set of equipment imported from the German Army. In addition, the British Army was also filled with many German instructors. This made the combat effectiveness of the British Army much higher.

At the beginning of the war, the British Army burst out with great attacking power, and the armies of the Republic of Ireland and the Kingdom of Scotland were defeated one after another. Fortunately, the 10th Army of the Chinese Army intervened. The 10th Army, led by the 10th Armored Brigade, directly killed the Kingdom of Scotland and entered England. Flat terrain in England was suitable for the assault of armored forces. The 10th Army concentrated the forces of the 10th Armored Brigade and two other infantry corps, and easily tore a big hole in the British Army's defense area. As a result, the British Army had to draw troops from other fronts to intercept the Chinese Army.

It's just that it's not so easy to deal with the Chinese Army. Although the 10th Army of the Imperial Army had only 200,000 men, it was far from being able to compare with the British Army in terms of weaponry and soldiers. In the Battle of Sheffield, the Imperial 10th Army defeated 300,000 British troops and annihilated 100,000 of them. As a result, the British Army suffered heavy losses and had to retreat from the front.

The fierce attack of the 10th Army of the Imperial Army gave the Republic of Ireland and the Kingdom of Scotland a respite and mobilized heavy troops into the battlefield. Although, in terms of strength, the British were stronger than the Republic of Ireland and the Kingdom of Scotland. But under the threat of the Imperial Army, they simply had no way to deal with these two countries with all their might.

Originally, the British planned to use a part of their forces to hold back the 10th Army of the Chinese Army and concentrate their forces on attacking Wales and the Kingdom of Scotland, which were controlled by the Republic of Ireland. Take Wales in the shortest possible time, destroy the Kingdom of Scotland, and unify the island of Great Britain. Finally, we will concentrate our forces against the 10th Group Army of the Chinese Army. Although the attack power of the 10th Army of the Chinese Army is strong, if the British Army concentrates three to four times the strength of the siege, the British Army still has a good chance of winning. This was also built by the instructor corps from Germany to the British Army.

The armament of the British Army was much more advanced than that of the Republic of Ireland and the Kingdom of Scotland. Even the Germans had tanks No. 1 and No. 2, and the British had quite a few of them. It was also the only country in the entire Holy Alliance that was equipped with tanks other than Germany.

It's just that the tank, which was regarded as a sharp weapon on the battlefield by the British, faced the 'Leopard' medium tank and the 'Wild Wolf' light tank of the Chinese Army. It's still vulnerable. Tank 2 is also capable of fighting the Wolf light tank. But in the face of the 'Leopard' medium tank, there is only a share of slaughter.

This directly led to the British Army's crushing defeat on the battlefield of Sheffield. The British vaunted tank unit suffered a crushing defeat after encountering the 10th Panzer Brigade of the Imperial Army. At least more than two hundred tanks were destroyed, and the remaining tanks also retreated. The losses of the 10th Panzer Brigade of the Imperial Army were very small.

After the capture of Sheffield, the Imperial Army's 10th Army did not immediately launch another offensive, but chose to hold on. Avoid being besieged by the British Army if you invade the British hinterland.

Under the counterattack of the 10th Army of the Imperial Army, the Republic of Ireland and the Kingdom of Scotland gradually stabilized their front and began to prepare for a counteroffensive. With the main forces of the British Army being held back by the Imperial Army, the pressure on both of them was much less. This also brought the battle situation in the British Isles into a stalemate.

Such an outcome was completely unacceptable to the British. Originally, they wanted to defeat the Republic of Ireland and the Kingdom of Scotland quickly after the war began. Although, in the absence of a navy, it was unlikely that their troops would have crossed the Irish Sea and landed on the island of Ireland. However, if the whole island of Great Britain can be controlled, then Britain's strength will undoubtedly be much stronger. They can arm more troops to imitate the landing of the Chinese army and wait for the situation to develop. If the Holy Alliance can defeat the peaceful alliance led by the Chinese Empire, then the time has come for Britain to reunite the British Isles. Even if the battle doesn't go well, they have more room to maneuver. (To be continued......)
