Chapter 1938 Fierce Conflict

Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland in the United Kingdom. It is located on the south shore of the Firth of Forth in the central lowlands of Scotland. It covers an area of ​​about 260 square kilometers. It was founded in 1329 and was the capital of Scotland from 1437 to 1707. It has a long history of papermaking and printing and publishing industries, shipbuilding, chemical industry, and nuclear energy.

, electronics, cables, glass and food industries are also important. With the development of the North Sea oil fields, a series of related industries and service industries have been established; important transportation hubs and airports.

Edinburgh has a long history, and many historical buildings are well preserved. Edinburgh Castle, Palace of Holyroodhouse, St. Giles Cathedral and other attractions are located here.

However, it is almost impossible to see these famous buildings now; they are all occupied by marchers. The people's idea is very simple. They must have No. 10 Downing Street, and even the royal family, to give them an explanation. Why are the Scots inherently disadvantaged?

Recalculate North Sea oilfield income; and reduce taxes in Scotland.

In fact, these demands are very reasonable, but at the moment the British Empire is in jeopardy; it is difficult to obtain more funds from the outside and can only continue to squeeze the country. England belongs to the basic market and dare not move easily; besides, England's economy has not been good in recent years, and people's lives have been poor.

All are problems. If taxes are increased, rebellion is inevitable.

After all, Scotland has oil and gas resources, so it can only attack them. Even if it is clear that this is not very kind, there is no good way. If it is just a parade, the Iron Lady can tolerate it; but now it affects the supply problem of frontline soldiers, she is determined to

Eliminate it; return to normal life as quickly as possible.

Seeing the armored vehicles coming, the marchers felt incredible. Parades in Europe are very normal, not to say they happen every month, but they must happen a few times every year. At most, the police are dispatched to maintain order, and now the army is directly deployed; what exactly does this mean?

Brigadier General Winter didn't want to shoot at civilians. After the incident subsided, he could easily be pushed out as a scapegoat. In order to protect themselves, the higher-ups would do anything.

The order he received was to quell the riots, allow the people to return to their jobs, and restore social order. The army had already arrived in Edinburgh, and they could not do nothing; if they went back in despair, his role as brigade commander would be over.

Although he was reluctant, he still ordered his subordinates to start shouting; let the people return to work or go home directly; do not gather in the square, giving enemy agents an opportunity to take advantage of.

The idea is very good, but the person who calls it out has not been chosen well; it can only be said that Brigadier General Winter does not fully understand his subordinates!

Leitner, staff major of the British 7th Armored Brigade; of course he also has another identity, a typical nationalist; at the same time, his grandmother is also a down-and-out nobleman. He believes in winning the Anglo-Saxons and always believes that he has aristocratic blood.

; His ancestor had been serving in the Royal Navy. Later, due to various reasons, he had no choice but to join the Army.

You must know that in the UK, the first choice for ambitious young people is the Royal Navy; after all, the reason why the British Empire became an empire on which the sun never sets is that the Royal Navy played an important role. As for the Army, which cannot be named Royal, you know how big the gap is.

Cromwell was a very important node in the development of the British Army; he established a new army in 1645, the New Model Army. At this point, the British army began to have a uniformly funded army, that is, a standing regular army.

Before this, the British Army was still in a fragmented and patchwork state. A simple understanding is that the soldiers basically belonged to the local lords, and the king also paid to support some of them. They were gathered together before the war, which made the British army's combat effectiveness very average; after all, the soldiers belonged to each lord.

, whether to work for the king or not, and how much effort they put in, all depended on the lord's face. Even if he had money to earn, he was still reluctant to leave his hometown and fight for others.

The 22,000-person New Model Army directly became the prototype of the modern British standing army; an infantry regiment of 1,200 people was the predecessor of the modern British Army.

But the target of this standing army was the King of England; it directly defeated the army of King Charles I and forced the British monarch to abdicate. Scholars believe that this is the reason why the British Army does not have a royal title!

This is indeed the case; the fact that the British Army does not have a royal title does have a lot to do with Cromwell; it is precisely because of Cromwell that after the restoration of the Stuart Dynasty, the British Army no longer belongs to the king. Since the Army does not

If you belong to the king, there is no need to use the royal title!

This makes young people from traditional British aristocrats and military families very resistant to serving in the army. As aristocrats or traditional military families, their lives will be easier with the presence of the royal family; without the royal family, they will be no different from ordinary people.

The stubborn pride in my bones is difficult to change easily. I was already very unhappy serving in the Army, otherwise I would have been on the front line of the Falkland Islands. As a young officer, I still wanted to go to war to prove myself.

Now that I see how ungrateful the Scots are, I feel even more unhappy; I wish I could kill all the Scots in front of me to avoid stabbing them in the back!

Leitner loudly shouted into the loudspeaker: "This is the 7th Armored Brigade of the British Empire Army. We have received orders that enemy agents are carrying out sabotage activities in Scotland. Now please all marchers to return to work or go home directly; otherwise

Enforcement measures will be taken in ten minutes."

The scene was very noisy, and Brigadier General Winter was discussing with the Chief of Staff and others how to disperse the crowd; the sound insulation effect of the British armored vehicle command vehicle was really good, so the specific content of the subordinates' shouting was not heard.

For ordinary people, we should try our best to appease them and give them ten minutes whenever they come up. After all, before the Scots took to the streets to march, the police would at most be there to maintain order and avoid unrest.

Some people at the scene didn't know what was going on. They only heard that they had to leave in ten minutes. This was a show of force. It was intolerable. How could they be easily frightened?

There were KGB agents hidden in the parade; I didn’t expect that the British would dare to send out troops. I really underestimated them before; isn’t this an opportunity!

England and Scotland themselves have deep conflicts, and the media have continued to report various injustices in recent days, which has brought the public's anger to the peak. If they add fuel to the fire at this time, the UK will definitely not feel better.

Being able to serve in the KGB, his ability to adapt to changes is definitely not bad; at least it is much better than ordinary people.

Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted: "This is Scotland, the English troops get out."

As soon as the words fell, they immediately resonated. At this time, all the Scottish people at the scene thought it was very reasonable. Why did the English army enter Scottish land? It was clearly to frighten them, which was simply unreasonable!

Not only did they shout for the British troops to get out, but some extreme people picked up stones and attacked the 7th Armored Brigade of the British Army.

Major Leitner had to stand at the highest point because of the shouting. Unfortunately, he became the first target of the attack. He didn't know what it was, but it flew directly towards the door.

If it was hit on the head, it would be okay; I was wearing a helmet before coming here. Even if I was hit by a stone, it would not be a big deal. But by chance, I came directly towards the door; plus standing on the armored vehicle, the activity area

Limited; it’s too late to dodge!

I felt my eyes go dark and blood flowed down instantly.

Major Leitner considered himself to be a handsome guy, and he usually paid great attention to his personal image. Now that he was directly disfigured, you can imagine how he felt. Not to say he was extremely angry, but he was not far behind.

After all, he is a soldier, and he did not lose his guard at the critical moment; he wiped the blood from his face with his hands, and his eyes could basically see the surrounding things clearly!

Since he was shameless and dared to attack him, Major Leitner decided to show the Scots some shame. The blood debt must be paid with blood. Regardless of others, his blood cannot be shed in vain. It doesn't matter if he sheds some blood, the most important thing is that he has to pay for it with blood.

Being disfigured; how can I endure it?

He took out his gun and fired directly at the people throwing objects at him without any hesitation.

After all, he was still a young man and could not hold back at the critical moment; with the sound of gunfire, people fell to the ground, and the scene instantly became quiet.

No one expected that the army would actually dare to shoot; ordinary people who had seen this were at a loss for a moment. At the critical moment, everyone was afraid of death!

But in the eyes of the KGB agents, this was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; the British army dared to shoot at their own people, and they really admired the other party's courage. It would be a serious dereliction of duty if they did not take advantage of it!

Immediately began to incite the people, using the slogan of revenge for the dead comrades; launched an attack on the army!
