Fifty-three, the eight directions of the wind and rain convergence England (II)

Moments later, when Chief Macmillan, dressed in body armor, walked into the old building, a glazed-eyed Prime Minister Mason was holding a pre-printed copy of the Haode manuscript and speaking in a monotonous voice that lacked the undulation of the lawmakers' voice, and was broadcast live to the whole country and the whole country by a pre-arranged television station - the speech was nearing its end.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ladies and gentlemen, the darkest years of the Anglo-Saxons after the Second World War have passed forever. The days when we were trampled on, humiliated and harmed by the hypocritical leftists and the misbehaving foreign immigrants are over forever! From this day forward, a national government fighting for the interests of the Anglo-Saxons, a righteous army fighting for pure England, will be born in this land!

In the near future, we will completely smash the Zuihou counterattack of the hypocritical old oligarchy and rebuild a new government that is free, equal, just, incorruptible, and truly represents the highest interests of the Anglo-Saxons, with the support of thousands of patriots! ”

From his tone, it was easy to tell that he was actually reading a manuscript. However, there were bursts of applause from the audience.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ From this day forward, we need to repeal the self-deluded 'multicultural policies' of the past and put Whitehall policies and laws back on the right track for the benefit of the Anglo-Saxons! To hell with the and heretics who are us! England will always be the England of the Anglo-Saxons! Now, it's time to put an end to all of this! Even if the most brutal means are required......"

-- Although the content of the manuscript is impassioned. It was as fierce as a battle horn, but in Prime Minister Mason's mouth, it seemed to turn into a light and tasteless boiled water...... Chief Macmillan took a deep breath. He waved his hand to the crowd, then walked up to the podium and pushed away Prime Minister Mason, who had not finished reading the script. There was no confusion in the halls of Congress, and no one questioned their sudden entry.

The hall of Parliament, which was usually full of turmoil, did not make a single noise at this time, only a few dozen members of parliament sat quietly on the surrounding seats, looking blankly at the arrogance of Chief Macmillan and the victor. Slowly walk up to the podium.

After stepping onto the podium, Macmillan first adjusted the microphone and then habitually knocked on the table. And only then did he begin his own speech:

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Hello everyone! I'm Macmillan, the leader of the 'Knights of Nelson', so I'm sorry to introduce myself, and I'm sure all of you know me. I'm here today for one purpose. It is to announce the end of an old era. And the birth of a new nation!

In short, from now on, we will dissolve the government and parliament, expel the foreign immigrants who have crowded the living space of the Anglo-Saxons, and depose the anachronistic monarchy! The confiscation of royal property for the benefit of the people! All while building a truly democratic, free and equal British Republic! Our goal is always the same, and that is to halt the collapse of Britain and restore a pure England!

Now, Whitehall, Buckingham Palace and Westminster are all under our control. All the garrisons in London are our allies. We are all the bravest patriots, and we are deeply disappointed with the policies of the current government. Ready to save the country with our actions. I would like to express my regret and apologies for all kinds of accidental injuries and damage caused during this operation, but all this is a necessary sacrifice for the survival of the motherland!

In the run-up to the formal elections, the Martial Law Commission that we have formed will temporarily rule the country for a period of time, and during this transitional period, Prime Minister Mason will continue to serve as the Chairman of the Martial Law Commission, and the members of the current Cabinet will continue to serve on the Martial Law Commission, using their experience and influence to help our country navigate this intervening period...... England wants every man in it to do his duty! All for pure England! May glory be with God! ”

Although Macmillan's speech was obviously much more vivid than Prime Minister Mason's, the expressions of the lawmakers in the audience were still the same, and they just continued to look at the podium with dull eyes, while clapping their hands mechanically, as if they were marionettes.

After the speech, Macmillan looked at them in silence, as if he wanted to add something, but in the end he did not say it - he just glanced at the parliament hall in Westminster with a very complicated look, and then turned his head and walked off the podium.

Although he successfully took initial control of the capital, he was well aware that the coup had only just begun, and that it was already in danger.

-- The hostile situation in Scotland, the failure of the Welsh uprising, the inability of the Northern Irish side to proceed, the great crossing of the French army into the sea, the all-out intervention of the Continental European Union seems imminent, and the attitude of the Americans is murky......

Even if we survive these turbulent storms and undercurrents, there are probably more crises to follow, such as how to get the new government to win international recognition, negotiate the political status of the rest of the United Kingdom, and deal with the remnants of the old empire of the "British Commonwealth......

Of course, all this is something that can be postponed, and there is no need to be too anxious. The most urgent task at the moment is to send back the French, who have already made it through the Anglo-French Tunnel to the outskirts of London...... Thinking so, Macmillan stepped into the armored car and grabbed the walkie-talkie at the same time to communicate with the front-line personnel about the situation outside London, and at the same time mobilize the forces in the city to prepare to organize a defensive line.

This is not an easy task, although he has 20,000 mercenaries under his command, he needs to guard various strategic points, and the mobile forces that can be drawn are very limited. There were tens of thousands of volunteers from the "Order of Nelson" who volunteered to participate in the war, but as the ancient Greek philosopher said, a group of thugs cannot be called an army, just as a pile of building materials cannot be called a house......

Moreover, he lacks air liliang in his hands. The vast majority of air and navy remain neutral, which is particularly detrimental to modern warfare.

What's even worse is that the guy who is eyeing the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland at this time. It's not just the French, who have been enemies for thousands of years.

While Macmillan was still scrambling to deal with the French army, another unexpected bad news almost shook him to the ground.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Chinese aircraft carriers! A Chinese aircraft carrier sneaked up on the Portsmouth military port! Three more Chinese destroyers appeared at the mouth of the Thames! ”

On the other end of the videophone, the communicator's face was clearly full of surprise and grief, "...... My God! What kind of era is this?! Even these ignorant and backward yellow-skinned monkeys can wantonly insult the dignity of the British Empire at our doorstep!!! ”

Glasgow City Hall, Mayor's Office

Leaning in front of the LCD TV hanging on the wall of his office, he watched Prime Minister Mason put on a dull dead face. In the halls of Parliament in Westminster, with an awkward voice without any flat fluctuations, he read a murderous manuscript and claimed to use the most cruel means. Expulsion and extermination of foreign immigrants...... Hundreds of kilometers away, the Minister of Extraordinary Development and Magic, David Brown. Potter suddenly looked incredulous.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Damn it! Old Mason, what's wrong? How could you say such a thing? Is it possessed by Satan? ”

Although they had just fallen out with each other due to political differences and power struggles, and were kicked by the prime minister to sit on the cold bench of the Ministry of Polar Development, he still knows the prime minister very well - after all, they have been friends for many years.

-- Prime Minister Mason just turned 60 this year. As one of the oldest descendants of the nobility of British blood. But it is not the kind of white supremacist conservatives, but they are very concerned about the interests of domestic minorities. He was a kind-hearted man, a well-known good man, but he was a foolish man and often did ridiculous things - for example, when he was just starting out in politics, he once drove his servants in a limousine to visit an Indian and Pakistani community in the South Asian subcontinent in London, seemingly wanting to do a charity event. But this guy didn't know how to do it, and he was blackmailed, defrauded and robbed by the local gangsters in that community. Zuihou ran out miserably wearing only a pair of underwear.

A lot of people at the time, including David. Potter, too, thought that Mr. Mason was going to be angry and turn into an extreme xenophobic nationalist. Again, however, Mr. Mason lamented that the wealth and rights available to these minorities were so small that they were so impoverished that he proposed a bill to increase the welfare of minorities.

This benevolent style of "being slapped on the left cheek and then showing the right cheek for people to be beaten" like the saint Jesus won Prime Minister Mason great prestige among foreign immigrants or minority voters, but it also caused him countless troubles - he was always easily taken advantage of because of his kindness and confusion, and once gave a terrorist leader British citizenship because of his gullibility, and Zuihou almost went to jail for it. What's worse is that because of his excessive focus on the interests of minorities, he was recognized as a traitor to the Anglo-Saxons by the extreme right-wing Nelson Knights, and even organized several unsuccessful assassinations.

For such a good old man, Chancellor Potter thinks that he is more likely to go to a mental hospital than to become an extreme xenophobia.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The answer is simple, suggestion or the Imperius Curse - there must be a wizard at the Prime Minister's side manipulating his actions......"

Harry, Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic. Gordon pouted and explained, "...... I understood this puppet-like expression at a glance......"

-- However, in any case, it has become an indisputable fact that the capital London was largely controlled by the coup d'Γ©tat.

Then, at nine o'clock in the morning, Edinburgh also issued a-for-tat public statement, announcing that the Scottish government would remain loyal to the orthodox king and fight the rebels in London to the end! At the same time, the royal spokesman who followed was even more shocking to declare that the royal family was asking various "friendly neighbors" to send troops to Britain to "uphold justice", and received positive responses from China, Russia, France, Germany, Ireland, Iceland and other places. The EU's collective security military intervention has been initiated, and more and more troops are beginning to approach the UK.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Whew. The current situation seems to be another British civil war! The Congressional Army and the Royalists are facing each other in the north and south, and the camps are clear; The rebels entrenched themselves in the capital, and the king organized a counterattack from the north; Macmillan's 'Knights of Nelson' replaced Cromwell's new model army......"

Mr. Druiverny the Scotland was holding a large pot of honey in his bear paws. From time to time, he licked two bites, while casually saying cool words, "...... However, our bixia seems to be in a much better situation, and Charles I didn't have so many foreign reinforcements in his hands......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ And, according to the latest news, the Royal Navy finally fell to the royal family. Declare allegiance to the Orthodox King of the Palace of the Holy Cross in Edinburgh, and not to the so-called 'British Republic' in London...... The royal family's victory can be said to be getting bigger and bigger. ”

Harry, Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic. Gordon added in a low voice, "...... Other than that. The Russian werewolves have just sent a liaison officer......"

In general, in their eyes, the current situation is as dazzling as a kaleidoscope, and it is impossible to guess what will happen in the next moment.

However. When these people are in northern Scotland. While they were anxious and had their minds to deduce the future situation, those who stayed in London had to struggle in blood and fire for their own survival.

London, Chinatown, near the small hotel of Shen Yue's boss

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Bang! Bang! β€β€œβ€¦β€¦ Da-da-da-da! β€β€œβ€¦β€¦ Boomβ€”"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ God forbid! β€β€œβ€¦β€¦ For pure England! β€β€œβ€¦β€¦ Allah is the greatest! ”

Rifle firing, submachine gun strafing. The roar and smoke of all kinds of explosives, the cracking and collapse of buildings. The dying wails of the wounded.

Accompanied by a jumble of slogans, Britain's largest city quickly descended into a sea of genocide and blood.

Instigated by the extreme slogans of the "Order of Nelson", many Anglo-Saxon citizens who usually looked polite suddenly tore off their former gentlemanly masks and showed their hideous faces as descendants of pirates - groups of immigrants of color were forced out of their homes with black muzzles, and then shot en masse under the walls of the streets, even the elderly, women and children.

But minorities, with a total population of millions, were not willing to die, and they soon resorted to the most brutal revenge on the slaughterers with every weapon they could find - shootouts, explosions, arson...... Neighborhood after neighborhood turned into a sea of fire, brutal street fighting broke out all at once, and in some neighborhoods, almost everyone had to frantically throw themselves into the battle: either kill someone else or kill themselves!

In the midst of this violent carnival and killing feast like the end of Shijie, it is obvious that the Chinese immigrants in Chinatown, who have always kept a low profile, are not immune. Shortly after the first gunshots rang out in the black ghetto, the neighborhoods in the neighborhood were also devastated as well.

Now, Deng Wenwen, an intern of the "Into Science" film crew, who was unfortunately stranded here, huddled at the corner of the stairs and saw a bearded bandit kick open the door of the hotel and break in with a shotgun......

―――――――――――――――――――――――――

PS: Off topic:

Recently, I was watching the movie "Gone with the Wind" and thought it was interesting to make a wormhole and travel to the South during the Civil War era.

But after thinking about it carefully, according to the description here, Scarlett's Tara Manor could only produce 20 bales of cotton per year after the war, each bale of cotton weighed 200 kilograms, and the total harvest was 4,000 kilograms of cotton, and now the price of cotton is 8 yuan a kilogram...... It is now at the level of a poor household.

Of course, Scarlett's Tara Estate produces more than just cotton, but many other crops. Moreover, the post-war cotton market was not good, and the cotton planting area is estimated to have shrunk a lot, but it can still be seen that the price of cotton at that time was much more expensive than it is now, otherwise it would not have been possible to support the luxurious life of southern plantation owners. What's worse is that in the novel, the Southerners are generally optimistic that the war and blockade will not last long in the early days of the war, and Scarlett's father, Gerald O'Hara, piles up the cotton harvested for three consecutive years in a shed near the Tara ginning mill, waiting for it to be shipped to Liverpool after the war and sold for a whopping $150,000. So it's not easy to bargain. It was only in the latter stages of the war, when everything was scarce in the South, that the slave owners could sell the cotton at a low price. But the problem is that at this time, the transportation of the Confederate may have completely collapsed, and it is not easy for the traverser to collect cotton, so do they have to go to the countryside to buy cotton from door to door?

Indeed, in the southern part of the United States during the war, there was an extreme shortage of bandages, iodine, quinine and other medicines, and even salt was not enough, so it should not be difficult to sell, but the question was what to trade and come back? The little jewelry donated by the girls and wives could not cover much of the payment. In short, if you think about it, travel back to the American Civil War period, there is really no way to make money, if you can't think of it, you probably have to forget it. (To be continued......)
