England is the heart of the country, with two-thirds of the population and almost all of its industry concentrated in England. Ireland and Scotland were just the first colonies of the British. Even if Ireland and Scotland were to split away from England, Britain would still be a powerful country as long as England was retained.

"So, Lord Viscount, what do you mean?" Brigadier General Niu Zhiyang frowned and thought for a moment, then asked. He knew that Viscount Ficharon wanted to further expand the power of Ireland and Scotland. In this way, they will be able to confront England in the future.

"Your Excellency, we need to weaken England further. If Wales were to be given to the Republic of Ireland and the north of England to the Kingdom of Scotland, then both of us would be strengthened. England, on the other hand, will be weakened. In contrast, we will have the strength to confront England, and we will not need the Chinese Empire to station too many troops in the British Isles! "Viscount Ficharon said the construction of the funds. If the Republic of Ireland can get Wales, then the Republic of Ireland will be much stronger.

"Yes General, the Kingdom of Scotland is too small, too small in population, and without industry. If we can get the north of England, then our strength will tend to be balanced, which is also very helpful for the stability of the British Isles! Francisco I also hurriedly said. The ∑ of Viscount Ficharon saw an opportunity to expand the Kingdom of Scotland. Since the Chinese Empire wants him to be the king of the Kingdom of Scotland, this is obviously impossible to change. If you refuse, you won't even be able to get anything. If it can strengthen the Kingdom of Scotland. That's for the best.

Everyone looked at Brigadier General Niu Zhiyang and waited for his answer. It was as if their fate was all in the hands of Brigadier General Niu Zhiyang. And Brigadier General Niu Zhiyang. Obviously, there are also their own considerations.

A strong England was not what the Chinese Empire wanted to see. The Chinese Empire preferred the union of the Republic of Ireland and the Kingdom of Scotland. Being able to resist the Kingdom of England can at least maintain the balance of strength between the two sides. In this way, the Chinese Empire, even if it was stationed in the British Isles, would not focus on the dispute between the three countries, but would use it to warn the Prussians on the other side of the North Sea. Judging from the current situation, England's strength is too strong, and the Republic of Ireland and the Kingdom of Scotland combined are far from being England's opponents. Thus, further weakening England. It is very desirable to strengthen the kingdoms of Ireland and Scotland.

"Alright! I know what you mean. However, I need to report it back home. The initial plan was for the Republic of Ireland to get Wales. The Kingdom of Scotland expanded further southward, reaching Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds and Kingston. Niu Zhiyang's finger drew a line on the map of Britain, and this line directly ceded a large area of land in the north of England to the Kingdom of Scotland, which not only more than doubled the population of the Kingdom of Scotland, but also gave the Kingdom of Scotland a strong industrial base. After all. Liverpool and Manchester, both of which are famous industrial centers in the United Kingdom, will greatly increase the strength of the Kingdom of Scotland.

"Thank you, Your Excellency. This distribution is undoubtedly the fairest! "Francisco I was overjoyed. In this way, the Kingdom of Scotland will undoubtedly have a great advantage. The kingdom has also grown a lot. In the future, I will be more confident against England.

Viscount Ficharon and Brian were also delighted. After the Republic of Ireland got Wales, it also increased their population by more than three million. The population of the entire republic has climbed towards 10 million. More importantly, they had a foothold on the island of Great Britain, and even if a war broke out with England in the future, they would be able to limit the scale of the war to the island of Great Britain, and the mainland of Ireland would not be affected. This will give the Republic of Ireland an absolute advantage in the future.

"In addition, the Empire hopes that after the Republic of Ireland and the Kingdom of Scotland are formed, they will form an alliance against England together!" Brigadier Niu Zhiyang continued. Whether it is the Republic of Ireland or the Kingdom of Scotland, if you face England alone, it is just looking for death. Only when the two countries unite will they have the strength to confront England. Of course, the Chinese Empire would prop up both countries. But if they don't work hard themselves, they probably won't be England's opponent in the end. This will make all the efforts of the empire go to waste!

"Yes, Your Excellency. Our two countries have a common enemy, and it is incumbent upon us to defend ourselves against the English! Brian said immediately. Everyone else nodded their heads one after another, and everyone could understand the threat that England posed to both countries.

"Now, then, it's time to talk about what kind of help you can give us once the Chinese Empire's troops land. Although, without your help, the Empire could have destroyed the British, but the war would have lasted longer and would have been more intense. You don't want your country to be a scorched earth! Brigadier General Niu Zhiyang asked.

In the event of fierce battles, cities will be reduced to ruins and villages and towns will be destroyed in the face of the fierce attack of the Chinese Empire. At that time, the two countries will probably have to rebuild their homes from the rubble. This is also unacceptable to them.

"Your Excellency, there are people from the Irish independence movement in the army on the island of Ireland, and we can cooperate with the landing of the Chinese army!" Viscount Ficharon hurriedly said. If the island of Ireland is really in ruins, the national strength will definitely be greatly reduced.

"There are also people in the Jacobite Party who hold important positions in the British Army, and we can also help the Chinese Army!" Not to be outdone, Francisco I said.

The Irish independence movement and the Jacobite Party also had the idea of competition. Therefore, they rushed to Brigadier General Niu Zhiyang to express the help they could provide to the Chinese* army, from plotting against the generals of the British Army, to providing guidance for the Chinese army, transporting weapons, ammunition and the wounded, and so on. This allowed the Imperial Army to gain the upper hand before it had even landed on British soil. Under the combination of the inside and the outside, it is simply impossible for the British to hold on. Otherwise, how can it be said that strong fortresses often break through from the inside?

Soon, Brigadier General Niu Zhiyang received a reply from the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Agency, and the Emperor Long Yufei had approved his plan to divide Britain. The Republic of Ireland will get Wales in addition to the island of Ireland. The territory of the Kingdom of Scotland will also expand further southward.

This made the Irish independence movement and the Jacobite Party very excited, and they all said that they would definitely lead the way, so that the Chinese* army could get more support after landing on British soil.

On the afternoon of July 8, 1855, at the Le Havre naval base in western France, Lieutenant General Liu Zhongming, commander of the Imperial Western European Theater of Operations, was making final adjustments to the plan of attack on Britain.

"General, this is information sent by the Military Intelligence Agency!" A staff officer sent a piece of information to Lieutenant General Liu Zhongming.

Lieutenant General Liu Zhongming flipped through the information and quickly skimmed through it. When he read the information, his face was already full of smiles.

"Haha! Notice, the 13th Army and the 14th Army, the place of landing has changed, we don't need to land directly in Dublin, the landing point is in Waterford! Lieutenant General Liu Zhongming said excitedly.

The center of British rule on the island of Ireland was Dublin, which was also the focus of the British army. Originally, Vice Admiral Liu Zhongming planned to use the navy's battleships to make a hole in the defense of the British, so that the imperial army could land smoothly. But now it seems that there is no need to be so troublesome.

According to the information sent by the Military Intelligence Agency, the commander of the British army in Watford was a member of the Irish independence movement, and the main officers and men of a British infantry corps stationed here were from Ireland, and they were also the key targets of the Irish independence movement. Now, the infantry corps had agreed to join the Irish independence movement. In this way, the landing of the Imperial army on the island of Ireland will not be hindered in the slightest. In addition, the Waterford Sea also has a medium-sized port with well-equipped port facilities. Originally, the British Army Headquarters issued an order to destroy these port facilities as soon as it was found that it could not resist the attack of the Chinese* army, so that they would not be used by the Chinese. But now, with the support of the Irish independence movement, the Chinese Army can take it without bloodshed. By taking advantage of this port, the Imperial army could land lightly.

Watford is not far from Dublin, only a little more than a hundred kilometers, and the roads are in good condition, and the Imperial Army can land on Dublin immediately after landing.

With the help of the Military Intelligence Agency, the Empire's plan for an attack on Britain was undoubtedly easier.

On the afternoon of July 9, 1855, the 13th Army of the Imperial Army, escorted by the Imperial Navy, set out from the Normandy Peninsula and crossed the English Channel to the island of Ireland. Because the main force of the British Navy had been wiped out, not a single British warship could be seen in the entire English Channel, and the Imperial Army could land on the island of Ireland with ease.

On the morning of July 10, the 13th Army of the Imperial Army, in response to the Irish independence movement, successfully landed at Waterford. (To be continued......)
