Fifty-seven, a new round of the rhythm of selling teammates to each other (II)

Just as Glasgow and Edinburgh began to undervent the storm, a conspiracy was brewing in the turbulent city of London.

-- On Monday morning, Macmillan, Chief Master of the Order of Nelson, proudly proclaimed the birth of the "British Republic" at the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, London, as if the dawn of a new era had appeared on the horizon.

But by the evening and night of the day, the situation in the whole of Great Britain had taken a turn for the worse.

-- International public opinion unanimously condemned it, and all parts of the country generally did not recognize this puppet government; The race fights in the urban area of London are one after another, and they are not stable at all; The Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force either declared neutrality or, at the call of the King, fell to the Provisional Government established in Scotland; The French Foreign Legion crossed the sea to invade Kent, and the advance was directed towards the city of London; Russian troops raided the Ras Point exercise ground in northern Scotland, and thousands of troops were easily disarmed; The Chinese task force shelled the mouth of the Thames and took control of the Portsmouth military port; By the evening of that day, there was even an Irish intervention force, under the banner of the "EU Collective Security Mechanism", which landed on the Cornish peninsula in western Britain without any resistance...... Judging from the map, foreign intervention forces from all walks of life have laid siege to Britain from all directions, leaving the entire island country in a state of turmoil and crumbling.

The main and most urgent threat to the coup d'Γ©tat is clearly coming from the European continent – almost at the same time as the coup d'Γ©tat, the EU activated its collective security mechanism with incredible speed. Long before Macmillan spoke at the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, the French army had crossed the sea to British soil. Follow-up reinforcements from various European countries are also massing in large numbers and will soon be ready for battle.

However, the "Nelson Knights" most wanted to win support, but the attitude of the United States was vague and unreliable. In the midst of this earth-shaking shock. The US troops stationed in Britain, which had been reduced to only one battalion, basically kept shrinking into the base and did not dare to talk nonsense at all. The official White House spokesman only vaguely expressed "regret" over the coup d'Γ©tat and the ethnic vendetta in Britain, but did not express clear support for either side.

-- Although, there are at least three U.S. aircraft carrier battle groups, which are currently being urgently mobilized to the North Atlantic. However, due to the previous deployment posture of the US military, it has always been oriented towards the Pacific Ocean. For the Japanese island, which has recently begun to be disobedient, it will not be able to adjust at all for a while.

Obviously, when there is no stick in hand. When you speak, you don't even dare to speak indiscriminately. Even the United States is no exception.

Next, to the greatest dismay of the nationalist radicals of the Order of Nelson, was the reaction to the coup d'Γ©tat in England. It is also very different from what was predicted in advance - most of the traditional conservative shili in the English countryside. Instead of supporting the coup, they declared themselves enemies of the coup d'Γ©tat at the call of the royal family.

This made it impossible for the Nelson Order to obtain the necessary manpower and material replenishment from the countryside, and the limited number of troops and supplies were drastically depleted during the battle, especially the previously collected stockpile of ammunition, which was simply not enough to fight a modern war, so that it soon became unsustainable.

So, when Chief Macmillan came to the most dangerous front in Kent today. While cheering for the combat troops, in a secret conference room in London. Some important backbones of this organization quietly gathered and held a closed-door meeting with a strong defeatist atmosphere.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Gentlemen, our business is now on the edge of a precipice, and is still sliding down the abyss! ”

A middle-aged gentleman in a black suit, with a haggard look and a laser pointer in his hand, spoke eloquently to a map of the south of England:

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Our uprising in Manchester has failed, and the local military and police loyal to the royal family and the armed forces of immigrants of colour have joined forces to strangle our supporters. The Irish army successfully landed at Bristol Harbour on the Cornish Peninsula, and Somerset, Devon and Cornwall successively announced their support for the Crown's interim government in Glasgow; In Birmingham, although our uprising was successful and took control of most of the city's neighborhoods, minority immigrants continued to fight a guerrilla war in the city, where more than 10,000 of our armed Liliang were trapped and unable to move; The Chinese fleet has taken control of the Portsmouth military port in the south, and the French, Spanish and German navies will be stationed in ......"

In his somewhat disorganized and incoherent description, the capital they now control, London, was surrounded by hostile foreign forces from three directions: east, west, and south. The Nelson Order, on the other hand, claimed to have 20,000 mercenaries and 60,000 armed volunteers, but it was not a disciplined political and military organization, and almost from the very beginning of the coup, a considerable number of them fell into command failure.

At the moment, Macmillan, commanding what little mobile force he had, was struggling to hold back waves of French Foreign Legion attacks in Kent, south of London. However, he did not have air supremacy, lacked heavy equipment, and did not have ready-made fortifications. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the EU Air Force and ship-based missiles, they are completely desperate to support themselves with the dead and wounded, and their morale and fighting spirit are shrinking sharply, and they can no longer hold out for a long time. To make matters worse, even if Macmillan barely held off this line of enemies in Kent in the east, the Chinese fleet in Portsmouth in the south and the Irish in Bristol in the west were completely unable to draw up their forces to resist. Moreover, the propaganda bombs launched by Chinese destroyers from the mouth of the Thames River also brought a huge psychological impact to the citizens of London who were caught in chaos and slaughter - even the Chinese can wantonly humiliate the dignity of Britain!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Everything is clear, and the hasty overthrow of the royal rule is obviously a bad move! Another sighed and said, "...... Before this military coup, we had pinned our hopes on the support of the conservative Shili in the countryside, believing that the traditional British would be willing to go back to a bygone era and see a 'pure England' again. However, it is precisely because of their conservatism and adherence to tradition. It may be glad to see us expel foreign immigrants of different colors and creeds, but we will not tolerate our overthrow of the king and the overthrow of the thousand-year-old kingdom system......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That's right. Even if you have to confiscate the royal property to maintain the economy and finances, this kind of thing can be done slowly and step by step. Even the French Revolution did not guillotine Louis XVI at the beginning! A sturdy young man said, "...... But it's too late to say anything, we have no backup, no reserves. The ammunition also did not last long in operation. The people of England regard us as traitors rather than righteous men, and foreign immigrants see us as enemies. In a maximum of another week, the EU coalition will completely occupy our homeland......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Is it necessary to be so pessimistic? Glorious and proud British people. It is absolutely impossible to submit to the domination of any foreign invader! Neither the Nazis nor the EU! When people see the true colors of these invaders, they will come back to us and take up arms to fight side by side! ”

A grumpy middle-aged man jumped up and knocked on the table and shouted. β€œβ€¦β€¦ Just like when Hitler was defeated. We will fight on the beaches, we will fight on the landing sites of the enemy, we will fight in the fields and streets, we will fight in the mountains. Even if most of our island is conquered and starved, we will continue to fight until Zuihou moment! England can never succumb to power! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Hey, what's impossible? Human life cannot beat steel! While we are addicted to financial games like drugs and tear down our factories to protect the environment, France and Germany still have relatively intact industrial systems. When we smashed our own navy. When you dismiss your own army and hand over nuclear submarines to private companies for maintenance. The same thing is being done on the European continent. But nowhere near as far as we do, at least they can produce almost all types of munitions themselves, from tanks to aircraft carriers.

As of now, the EU has a huge industrial system, a steady stream of production lines of tanks and armored vehicles, independently developed new generation fighter jets, and thousands of African immigrants who are willing to fight for them for a little food and a few euros! But what do we have? All we have are financiers, football hooligans and arrogance - they will kill us in a week!

He sneered in a long, lazy tone, full of malice and mockery, as if he had taken all the hot-headed radical lads of the "Order of Nelson" for fools. But from a practical point of view, they are indeed fools - fools who kill themselves!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What's more, have any of you ever thought that, gentlemen, Britain today is no longer the Britain that belonged only to the Anglo-Saxons in the past! Nearly 10 million foreign immigrants living in this land, especially those pagans who do not believe in God, have not considered themselves British at all from the bottom of their hearts! With the promise of sufficient political conditions and the issuance of some of the old weapons in stockpile, a large fifth column can be pulled out at once and these 'new Britons' will be used against us Anglo-Saxons! ”

Speaking of this, the bodybuilding young man couldn't help but shake his head with a sad face, "...... Don't say that the enemy would not have thought of this! Sowing discord like this, using locals to fight locals, is very common in the history of European colonization. Just like when the British Empire conquered India, it vigorously recruited Sikhs and Gurkha (Nepalese) to act as the main force of the indigenous army to suppress the resistance of hundreds of millions of Indians...... Would I like to give a few more recent examples? Kurds in Iraq? Kosovo in Yugoslavia? Now it's just for the island of Great Britain. Isn't it out of concern that we have set up the 'Knights of Nelson' to try to restore everything to the way things were? ”

"So what are we going to do?" Someone snorted from his nostrils, "Bending the knee to the EU and begging for mercy?" And then go to the International Tribunal in The Hague for trial? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ First of all, we should face the reality with sincerity and realize that this reckless coup d'Γ©tat, which is ill-prepared, will not only not save our motherland, but will further plunge the country into a crisis of fragmentation, and even be divided by foreigners with ill intentions, and become an inferior person who will lose the country! Second, we can negotiate terms with the royal family while we still have some leverage in our hands - as long as the royal family can partially agree with our proposition and limit the import of foreign immigrants. Our military coup has achieved its goal to a certain extent......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Chief Macmillan would not have agreed, but he was bent on being the Cromwell of the new era, or even Napoleon! ”

on this. Someone immediately shook his head and sighed. And in the eyes of the bodybuilding young man who made the suggestion, a fierce light flashed.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That's why we're here. Please discuss what it takes to get Macmillan to 'say yes'! ”

――――――――――――――――――――

On the other hand, outside of this chamber, the whole of London, and indeed the whole of England, continued to bleed.

- From Liverpool to Manchester. From Birmingham to Nottingham, almost every city groans in blood and fire. Corpses and fires could be seen everywhere in the streets, and citizens listened in horror to the sound of gunfire. Hiding at home with your family and shivering, black, white or yellow, no one can escape the killing and disaster...... This turmoil in the island country, instigated by countless behind-the-scenes masterminds, has completely departed from the category of ethnic vendetta. It turned into outright smashing, looting, burning and venting violence. Or rather, large-scale collective crimes.

Even in some suburban residential areas where there is not a single foreign immigrant, the lack of police and the paralysis of local governments have led to the emergence of large numbers of rioters of all kinds, launching blatant burglaries and looting supermarkets, banks, bars and mansions.

Even in the remote countryside where the fighting has not yet been embroiled, the inhabitants are like frightened birds, and when they go out, they can only move close to their homes. I can't go at all, and I don't dare to go farther. There were few people to see on the roads, and everyone tried to hide in their homes as much as possible. Because there are a lot of burned cars on the side of the road. There are also all kinds of charred and mutilated corpses, and the scene is really terrifying!

Therefore, when the "Martial Law Committee" set up by the coup d'Γ©tat in London declared national martial law, the "Interim Government of the United Kingdom" in Glasgow, Scotland, also declared a state of emergency, with curfews in all major cities, citizens not allowed to go out at night, violators could be killed on the spot - whether it could be enforced or not - mobile phone communications and the Internet were cut off to prevent rioters from using them to collude with each other.

The original intention of these measures was naturally to strengthen the government's supervision and control over society in order to meet the needs of the increasingly tense war.

However, the transformation of a social system from a state of casual peace to a compact state of war is like upgrading the operating system of a computer from XP to VISTA, which is a painful experience. Freezes, crashes, information loss, and all sorts of incompatibilities will follow.

So, standing in the "Office of the Prime Minister of the Interim Government of the United Kingdom" in the Glasgow City Hall building, looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the terrible scene of the crowded and noisy chaos on the roads in the distance, David . Potter's interim prime minister couldn't help but sigh slightly melancholy.

It was the first night of the curfew, and many vehicles were stopped on the road. Although there were no large-scale clashes in the city due to the effective pressure of the bullets, some sections of the road were still blocked, and due to the lack of relevant plans, the traffic in the city became a mess, and there were several serial car accidents and even large-scale group fights, which made these citizens who had not yet felt the cruelty of the war all criticized.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Harry, the 'milker' is gone, and the little scum of the Victorian Zuihou has been extorted from them - Gibraltar, St. Helena (the penal colony of Emperor Napoleon), the Frankish Islands (also known as the Malvinas Islands...... Coupled with the Cayman Islands and Bermuda, which have also been making a fuss about independence recently, the British Empire's overseas territories are really about to be lost! ”

Overlooking the car of the Chinese and Russian envoys slowly drove out of the government gates, the former cabinet minister, who had been the last remaining cabinet minister in the turmoil, turned to his permanent undersecretary, the current cabinet secretary, Harry Brown. Gordon grumbled, "...... What a loss! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ At least it has left us the Antarctic territory, please be pragmatic, sir, it would be nice to be able to keep Britain itself now! ”

Harry. Gordon raised an eyebrow and calmly replied, "...... As long as you can hold the blood basin of the EU, it will all be worth it! ”

Meanwhile, in another room of the building, Wang Qiu, who was munching on grilled fish and chips, met an unexpected visitor.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Huh?! Professor Yang?! Aren't you staying at home? When did you come to England? ”

Looking at Professor Yang Wenli, who suddenly pushed the door in, Wang Qiu's jaw opened wide for a while, and even the grilled fish in his hand fell to the floor.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Time is of the essence now, so let's not mention these inconsequential things! Professor Yang waved his hand impatiently and said in a hurried tone, "...... Comrade Wang Qiu, now there is a glorious and arduous task to be handed over to you, that is, to take down London before the EU army! ”

So, Wang Qiu, who was under great pressure, was finally shocked: "...... This one...... Professor Yeung...... Do you think I'm Superman? (To be continued......)
