Although the far-right political organization "Nelson Knights", which staged the coup d'état, three days after the declaration of war, it was declared defeated in internal and external difficulties. But the resistance of the rebel forces in Birmingham, Nottingham, Southampton and other areas continued for another three days. As for the sporadic riots in the backwoods, it took a whole month for the many shili on the island of Great Britain, especially the illegal armed forces of foreign immigrants and legal political parties, to fight with the Provisional Government of the United Kingdom.

The city of London, which had just experienced a "humanitarian crisis", was completely shrouded in a gloomy and bleak atmosphere of despair.

After a catastrophe of burning the city, and now facing the division and occupation of foreign troops, this shijie overlord capital that used to rule the seven seas is finally no longer in its glory, and it has been torn off a bit of high-sounding majesty and glory, and it has completely come to the end of the road.

“…… The glory of Britain, the greatness of Britain, the arrogance of Britain, everything passed away in the wind in the fire of the world......"

Standing in front of the window of the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, looking at the flags of various countries on the other side of the Thames, Harry was haggard and overworked. Gordon, the interim cabinet secretary, couldn't help but sigh melancholy, "...... I never dreamed that London would one day be occupied by people. ”

On the other side of the misty Thames. There is also the historic Tower Bridge in London, where the French tricolor flag, the European Union's 12-star flag on a blue background, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Ireland, Romania, ...... and a series of flags of EU member states that came to make up the numbers. A total of 14 countries sent troops to London, plus the Russians who arrived here from Scotland, and the Chinese fleet anchored in Portsmouth and the mouth of the Thames, looking down on the map for a while, it seems that the 16-nation coalition forces are working together to carve up London.

-- The Shijie metropolis, which once ruled the Seven Seas, has doubled the lineup of the Eight-Nation Alliance's entry into Beijing that year!

As many important ports in the west and south of the United Kingdom are controlled by the EU intervention force, China and Russia have quietly helped the interim government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. But it did not mean to die for the sake of Britain and the EU, so they sat back and watched the EU collect troops from various countries and continue to cross the sea and land on the island of Great Britain. Frequent manipulations in the southern part of the island in an attempt to seize territory and expand the occupied area.

At present, the city of London south of the Thames has been divided up by the intervention forces of the European Union. And north of the River Thames. A neighborhood east of the City of London. They were also garrisoned by the French Foreign Legion, thus cutting off the Chinese fleet from direct contact with the Provisional Government authorities.

In addition to the square inch of the city of London, the large forces of the European Union that landed in Portsmouth and Southampton were also expanding the occupation zone at the fastest pace, until they joined forces with the French Foreign Legion in Kent and London, which were stopped by the British government's temporary military police.

On the contrary, the Irish troops who landed in Bristol, who did not have much pursuit of land that could not be annexed, even gave up their plans to occupy the western part of the United Kingdom. Instead, the landing force was directly transferred to London and marched and retreated with the EU coalition forces. By the way, they are also quite poor at the moment.

Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise, and it was precisely because of the sight of the threat posed by these foreign intervening forces that the separation of Wales and Scotland had ceased much in the midst of the ruins of England - it was one thing to separate from the United Kingdom as a new nation, and quite another to become a foreign colony. Wales, in particular, would be so humiliating that the Irish would be "governed" by the Irish if they were to become so independent that they would not know where to go - at least until the external threat subsided, and the domestic separatist threat could be "frozen".

The Provisional Government is holding urgent consultations with the EU side on the issue of the intrusion of these foreign intervention forces into British territory, and the British side naturally hopes that these foreign invaders, who have marked a great disgrace, will get out of here as soon as possible, but the EU has patiently brought out various collective security clauses and demanded that Britain accept the joint supervision of the EU -- no matter how much they disagree with each other, or even dismantle each other in private, Britain is still a member of the EU after all, and to a certain extent obliged to accept the control of the EU If the outcome of the negotiations is not satisfactory, then it is very likely that these EU coalition troops who have landed in England will continue to be stationed on British soil for another ten or eight years, just as the US military invaded Iraq......

At present, EUA forces control more than half of London's neighborhoods, and the Provisional Government's motley army barely controls the remaining half, and also loses the mouth of the Thames to the sea, as well as the nearby docks...... Fortunately, Heathrow Airport, London's aviation hub, has been successfully recaptured by British special forces and has basically returned to normal use, otherwise it would have been a big problem to transport troops and supplies when the railways and roads are not yet smooth.

In short, this is the current situation in London - the army is divided and confrontational, the people are in mourning, the city is in ruins, and the refugees are waiting to be fed......

―――――――――――

With the fighting in the City of London largely over, the issue of post-war reconstruction was put on the agenda.

On the morning of March 19, sitting in the Westminster Houses of Parliament, which had just been restored, Wang Qiu and others talked to Harry. Gordon looked at some of the documents that had just been put together and used a projector to show up the recent photographs that had been taken to count the destruction of the city of London.

At this time, the civilian team of the British central government scattered all over the place has not been able to be summoned for a while. Gordon had no choice but to haul in a few random people to handle the paperwork - thankfully, there was nothing more to do at the moment than to recruit rebels and count losses.

Although I have witnessed the tragic situation of red light, heat waves and ashes in the city of London before, now after the actual statistics. It was only then that the damage suffered by the city of London during the three days of the catastrophe was far worse than anyone had expected.

-- In the chaotic street fighting before. Taking advantage of the dense architectural pattern of the old town, many barricades were erected on all sides to defend it. As a result, in order to attack and remove these nails one by one, the attacking side generally set fire to the houses to clear the road, and the defending side also desperately set fire to create obstacles, while both sides only set fire to the fire and did not extinguish the fire, and even took advantage of the chaos to plunder......

Thereupon. Street fighting in various districts of the city fought in chaos for several days and nights, and the fires that bloomed everywhere burned for several days and nights, until an unprecedented and tragic fire was brewed in Zuihou. In particular, there are several neighborhoods where the fighting is most intense. It is also the collapse of houses and the collapse of dead bodies, densely packed, flowing with blood and water all over the street, under the reflection of the fire. It's terrifying......

According to the current incomplete statistics. At least 200,000 houses were burned and blown up throughout London, and almost nothing remained in the centres of several major fires, as well as in the areas where the fighting was most intense. In addition, several skyscrapers in the route of the European Union forces crumbled and collapsed in the flames and explosions, turning into an unrecognizable mountain of discarded building materials......

As the main battlefield with the most intense battles. South London, south of the River Thames, was the most severely damaged, almost completely reduced to rubble. The urban area of East London, north of the River Thames, also suffered significant losses. Even the British Empire Museum somehow suffered from aerial bombs and collapsed several buildings. Only in the area of West London, where military and political institutions and mansions and villas are concentrated, is relatively intact, and there are also many unlucky people who can be displaced.

In the ruined ruins like a ghost domain, in addition to the charred black corpses scattered unburied, there are also some barely surviving war refugees wandering around. Women and children, in particular, lost their homes and loved ones, and then were attacked and ravaged by thugs in the midst of bullets and raging fires, stripped of their clothes or torn to their clothes, and even if they survived, they had to wander the streets naked......

Due to the chaotic nature of the situation, it is not possible to calculate an accurate number of casualties. But according to Harry. Gordon's rough estimate is that at least 200,000 people in the city will die in this unprecedented catastrophe, and more than 300,000 citizens will have their homes destroyed and have nowhere to go, so that they will become war refugees. All of them looked apathetic and exhausted, struggling on top of the ember wasteland. Or use the wooden planks, bricks and tiles dug out of the ruins to build a number of simple shacks indiscriminately, and live in peace for the time being. Or simply live in the open air, relying on government handouts and garbage pick-ups every day to make a living.

As for the damage in other cities such as Birmingham, Manchester, and Nottingham, there are no statistics yet, but the latest satellite maps show that their situation is also not optimistic, at least in their respective city centers, they are already in ruins.

Seeing that London had suffered terrible losses far worse than the bombing of World War II, and that the number of dead and wounded in Britain would be in the millions, Wang Qiu couldn't help but be quite stunned for a while. The British's ability to destroy each other is too strong!

“…… Alas, when I was in Tokyo before, I saw that your Japanese Self-Defense Forces burned down a block in a military coup, and I thought it was already very tragic. But now that we look at the British approach, the coup d'état in Tokyo was so pediatric that it was like a joke. ”

He quietly turned his head sideways and complained to the former Prime Minister Yuyu Mashiro, who was sitting next to him.

“…… Yes, in terms of the degree of contempt by mainstream society, British drunkards and football hooligans are probably on a par with Japanese otaku. ”

Japan's strongest superpower girl, the holder of the "Evil King's True Eye", former Prime Minister Kotori Yu Mayahiro raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "...... But in terms of destructiveness and ferocity, the British drunks are much stronger! Japanese otaku simply can't catch up with a tenth of theirs! Look at how many people have been killed in this breath! ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly couldn't help but laugh, "...... No wonder someone once commented that the blood of pirates was still in the body of the English gentleman, while the spirit of the Japanese samurai Yamato had long since disappeared...... Do you really want to be glad that my compatriots are '100 million people are in ruins'? ”

Although the tragic situation in London after the Holocaust is indeed sad. But in the eyes of hard-hearted foreigners, this is a headache for the British themselves, eh. Perhaps add to this the EU coalition that is interested in being stationed on the island of Great Britain. As for the Chinese, the Japanese, and the Brazilians who came from thousands of miles away...... They didn't take advantage of the chaos to empty the treasures of the British Empire Museum, which was already very polite (on the other hand, because the place fell into the hands of the French Foreign Legion, and they couldn't move it if they wanted to). ）

In fact, due to his long-term travel through various historical time and space, Wang Qiu no longer thinks much of this ancient artifact in the British Empire Museum - the statues and cultural relics of ancient Rome and Greece are more or less on the territory of Queen Cleopatra; I want to collect ancient Egyptian mummies. You can also have a few ready-made artisans in Alexandria; Even those cultural relics that were looted in the Old Summer Palace, if he was lucky enough to travel to the late Qing Dynasty next time, Wang Qiu could also try to get them himself...... So there's really no need to keep thinking about such things in the British Empire Museum.

But. Before, when the fire broke out in Buckingham Palace and everyone was busy transferring valuables, Wang Qiu took advantage of the chaos to take away some good things that were not particularly eye-catching (crowns or anything), such as enamel vases, silver tableware, landscape and figure paintings, gemstone crafts, etc...... These stolen goods were brought by the sheep. At present, they are all piled up in the royal palace of Alexandria in ancient Egypt across the wormhole. Even if these things are too sensitive to be sold for a while, they can be given as gifts to Cleopatra to please her and decorate her palace more beautifully......

- Though sporadic wars and riots broke out in the land of Britain; Although the undercurrents that have led to ethnic contradictions and social crises are still surging under the surface of the water; All sorts of new disasters are still coming to Britain......

But. Anyway, for Wang Qiu and his companions. It's finally over for the time being.

―――――――――――――

On the afternoon of March 23rd, Bath, a spa resort in the west of England

On a clear spring day, the sweet and fragrant flowers bloom together.

Next to the steamy open-air hot spring bath, the fragrance of flowers and plants wafts in the spring breeze, announcing the arrival of the new season.

Located in the southwest of England, Bath is known as the most beautiful city in England and has been a popular health resort since the Georgian dynasty in England - because it is home to the only hot springs in the UK: Bath Springs.

As early as the ancient Roman era, the Romans of the British province built gorgeous thermal baths here to enjoy the comfort of soaking in the hot springs, and perhaps the name Bath comes from this. (BATH, ENGLISH BATH, MEANS BATH.) Although the Roman Baths in Bath are now a museum. Visitors to this monument can only "see" and not "soak". However, there are still a number of modern hot spring baths built in Bath City today, which are enough for tourists to soak in the hot springs in Bath City and return home refreshed.

After the mission in London, Wang Qiu and the rest of the "Chinese Paranormal Tour", as well as the druids, vampires, vampire hunters, and a former Japanese prime minister who had worked hard in the Battle of London, went to the hot spring inn in Bath to relax and rest for a while.

With a total of more than 2,000 people, they had to stay in many different hotels. The hot spring hotel where the "Chinese Strange World Tour Group" stayed was naturally the most upscale - the exterior wall made of cream-colored stones, the marble sculptures and artworks in the ancient Roman style, the antique Romanesque open-air hot spring pool on the roof on the fourth floor, the steaming hot spring water that would not burn people and rich in 27 kinds of minerals......

At this moment, Wang Qiu, who had just soaked in the hot springs, was leisurely wearing an orange bathrobe, carrying a plate of orange blossoms and pomegranate seeds out of the ancient Roman-style bath according to local customs, and came to sit on the deck chair in the luxurious lounge next to it, drinking the local specialty - "Spring Water Coffee" made with authentic Bath mineral water, while tasting delicate snacks made with cheese and chocolate.

Almost all the members of the "China Paranormal Tour" who survived the London Catastrophe gathered here - either in the hot spring baths to close their eyes and refresh their minds, or to drink coffee and admire the surrounding green peaks and the streets of Bath City, or to enjoy the rare relaxation after the test of life and death with great interest in seaweed mud masks, hay slimming, shiatsu massage and acupuncture treatments. Only the "Into Science" film crew remained in London, seemingly to make an episode of "The Phantom of Waterloo Bridge" to help the British Ministry of Magic cover up some of the unscientific scenes on the night of the end of the coup......

Feeling the lazy and casual atmosphere around him, Wang Qiu couldn't help but feel a deep tiredness welling up in his mind, just when he wanted to stretch his hands and feet on the recliner and take a good nap, he was completely dispelled by an inopportune phone call.

“…… Hey, hey? Who is it? Oh, it's Cai Rong? Wang Qiu sat up from the recliner with some sleepy eyes, and muttered in a vague voice, "...... What the? I want to take everyone back quickly and go on a mission to England...... Make no mistake! I'm in England right now! ”

This ridiculous request made him sober up, and Miss Cai Rong's next sentence explained the reason clearly:

“…… Not the current England, but the British province of the Roman Empire in the fifth century AD! There's a bunch of guys who wore it back to Arthurian times! ”
