The establishment of the Republic of Ireland caused an uproar in Europe. Although the Republic of Ireland is not enough in front of many European powers, the entire island of Ireland is only 100,000 square kilometers in size, and the population is only about 6 million. Its military strength is much, even compared to that of the Kingdom of Belgium. However, the establishment of the Republic of Ireland had a huge impact on the political landscape of Europe.

The Chinese Empire directly supported the establishment of the Republic of Ireland, which was tantamount to the beginning of the Chinese Empire's intervention in the regime change in Europe. The Kingdom of Prussia directly expressed its attitude, and they believed that it was inappropriate for the Chinese Empire to support the Republic of Ireland. After all, the original covenant made it very clear that no member of the Asia-Europe military alliance could make peace with an enemy country alone.

However, the Chinese Empire immediately refuted it. The Republic of Ireland is a country founded by the Irish independence movement and the Irish people, and has nothing to do with the British government. They were nothing more than against British colonial rule. The Republic of Ireland is not an enemy of the Eurasian military alliance, but a potential ally. The Chinese Empire even wanted the Republic of Ireland to join the Eurasian military alliance. However, this was met with resolute opposition from the Kingdom of Prussia. Even the Ottoman Turkish Empire was quite complaining about this, so the Republic of Ireland's accession to the Asia-Europe military alliance could only be temporarily abandoned.

Of course, in order to guarantee the Empire's security to the Republic of Ireland, the Empire signed a separate military defense treaty with the Republic of Ireland. The treaty stipulated that the Republic of Ireland would become a protectorate of the Chinese Empire in the event of an attack on the Republic of Ireland. It was to declare war on the Chinese Empire. This fully protects the security of the Republic of Ireland and makes other countries dare not have any ambitions for the Republic of Ireland. Even the Kingdom of Prussia was very unhappy about this. But there is no reason to blame the Chinese empire either. After all, as a sovereign state. The Chinese Empire had the right to pick its own allies.

The British side is gnashing its teeth at the establishment of the Republic of Ireland. In particular, the Republic of Ireland announced that the territory of the Republic of Ireland would include not only the island of Ireland but also Wales, which angered Queen Victoria and senior cabinet officials.

Although the island of Ireland was conquered hundreds of years ago, Wales has always been part of the United Kingdom. Now, the Republic of Ireland, with the support of the Chinese Empire, is trying to bring Wales under their rule, which is simply impossible. It also makes it unacceptable to them.

The British government announced that they would not recognise the Republic of Ireland and declared the Irish independence movement an illegal splendor group. Britain will find a way to suppress the Irish independence movement and preserve British unity.

It's just that everyone knows that this is just the British deceiving themselves. In the face of the blockade of the Chinese navy, the British* army had a problem even defending its homeland, let alone fighting through the Irish Sea and suppressing the Irish independence movement. Wait until the time when the Chinese Army landed on the island of Great Britain. I am afraid that the time will be the complete destruction of Britain. The war has reached this point, and I am afraid that no one is optimistic about the British anymore. Britain's current resistance is more like a trapped beast. Their demise is only a matter of time.

After the capture of the island of Ireland by the Imperial Army. Planning for an attack on the island of Great Britain has begun. With the island of Ireland as a base for advancement, it was undoubtedly easier for the Empire to land on the island of Great Britain. Whether it's across the Irish Sea, the North Channel, or the St George's Channel in the south. It's not too much of a problem.

By the time the Imperial Army launched an attack on Great Britain, the Imperial Navy had taken full control of the Irish Sea, the North Channel, and the North Sea. 14th Army of the Imperial Army. Depart from the north of the island of Ireland and cross the North Channel. Landing in Stranraer, west of Scotland. Although, in order to defend against the Imperial Army, the British deployed an army of 700,000 men in Scotland. In the early period, there were only 500,000 people, and later another 200,000 people were added.

However, Scotland's coastline is too long and winding. Although 700,000 people are many, it is simply impossible to stop the attack of the imperial army. In addition, the Imperial Navy could provide sufficient fire support for the landing of the Imperial Army. The Imperial Army easily landed in Stranraer.

The army of more than 100,000 emperors tore through the British defenses and marched to Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. The successful landing of the Imperial Army made the British feel like a great enemy. The British Army hurriedly assembled its forces and prepared to besiege the landed 14th Army.

On the morning of July 25, 1855, the 15th Army of the Imperial Army, escorted by warships of the 1st Fleet of the Imperial Navy, landed in the Bay of Pest in eastern Scotland. An army of more than 100,000 launched a direct attack on Edinburgh.

The Imperial Army dispatched two army groups, more than 300,000 men, and instantly broke the British army's defenses in Scotland. In addition, the Jacobite Party also began to exert their influence, which caused many British* officers to lead their troops to surrender to the Empire, and the Empire was able to win lightly.

On 27 July, the Imperial Army's 15th Army captured Edinburgh, which further shook the British defenses in Scotland. A large number of British troops even began to retreat spontaneously to the south. Although Scotland and England are connected, they can also receive a steady stream of support from England. However, they are still afraid of a repeat of what happened in Ireland in Scotland. Retreating now seems to be their best option.

Under such circumstances, it would be even more impossible for the British Army to resist the attack of the Imperial Army.

The British retreated all the way to the Cheviette hills, where they reorganized their defensive lines. However, at this time, the British army was almost frightened, and it was impossible for them to resist the attack of the Imperial Army.

For this reason, the Marquis of Anglesey, the British War Secretary, had to send a large number of troops to the Cheviette Hills in order to be able to form a strong defensive line to block the attack of the Imperial Army. As for the counterattack, you don't have to think about it to know that it is almost impossible.

Although, before the start of the battle, the British Army had already formed a regular army of three million people and a reserve of two million people. But in Ireland they lost half a million men. In Scotland, the Imperial Army's offensive also cost the British Army hundreds of thousands of men. The remaining army of England is only a little more than two million. At the same time, the British Army's reserves were reduced by almost half because of the fall of a large amount of land and the loss of population.

In such a situation, the British Army should have considered how to maintain a weak defensive line, rather than launch a counterattack. If you rush to launch a counterattack, the commander will make them pay even greater losses.

On July 29, 1855, Francisco I I, the heir to the English throne of the Jacobite Party, arrived in Edinburgh, accompanied by the top brass of the Jacobite Party. With the support of the Chinese Empire, Francisco I proclaimed that the Kingdom of Scotland was once again restored, and he became King of the Kingdom of Scotland, Francisco I.

The Kingdom of Scotland was founded with far less influence than the Republic of Ireland. This is mainly because of the establishment of the Republic of Ireland, which has already shocked everyone.

Of course, many supporters of the James Party still cheered. After the Glorious Revolution, the struggle of the Jacobite began. More than 200 years have passed, and the heir to the British throne, whom they insisted on, has finally ascended the throne in England once again. Although this is only the king of the Kingdom of Scotland, it still gives them hope.

According to the agreement between the Chinese Empire and the Jacobite Party, the territory of the future Kingdom of Scotland, in addition to the original area of Scotland, will be further extended to the south, one extending to Liverpool, Manchester and Kingston, which is equivalent to the northern part of England being included in the Kingdom of Scotland. Although this vast area is not yet under the rule of the Kingdom of Scotland, everyone believes that with the support of the Chinese Empire, the territory of the Kingdom of Scotland will definitely expand further southward in the future.

The British royal family and government continue to firmly deny the establishment of the Kingdom of Scotland, claiming that any attempt to divide Britain will not succeed. The British people will oppose such acts, and the British will only end up with the Hanover royal family.

Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, the Prince, summoned the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, the Earl of Stanley, and the War Secretary, the Marquess of Anglesey, and asked them not only to find a way to resist the attack of the Chinese Army, but also to find a way to destroy the Kingdom of Scotland and maintain and defend the unity of the United Kingdom.

The Earl of Stanley and the Marquis of Anglesey are very embarrassed by Her Majesty's request, and now Britain is even very problematic in self-preservation, let alone fighting back. Therefore, they can only perfunctory Queen Victoria.

The Chinese Empire was the first to recognize the Kingdom of Scotland, and the hardcore allies of empires such as the Kingdom of Ireland, the Kingdom of Spain, and the Kingdom of Belgium followed suit. The Kingdom of Prussia, on the other hand, did not recognize the Kingdom of Scotland. The Ottoman Empire, on the other hand, wavered in its attitude. However, as the Empire's might and strength were revealed, the Ottoman Turks would certainly make the right choice.

Like the Republic of Ireland, the Kingdom of Scotland was excluded from the Eurasian military alliance. However, the Chinese Empire did not care, and the Chinese Empire still signed a protection treaty with the Kingdom of Scotland, declaring that the security of the Kingdom of Scotland was under the protection of the Chinese Empire, and any hostile behavior against the Kingdom of Scotland would be regarded as a provocation or even invasion of the Chinese Empire.
