Soviet Union 1991

First update

The atmosphere in Prime Minister Major's office at No. 10 Downing Street was silent.

Standing in front of Prime Minister Major this time, in addition to the Director of Scotland Yard, Blair, was the Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces Command, General William. One is responsible for keeping half of Great Britain safe, and the other is protecting the entire country from war. Two people who originally had completely different responsibilities and powers came together, and they were also affiliated with the department that protects national security. They thought about it and knew what might happen next.

The atmosphere was eerily silent. Prime Minister Major was holding an almost-burned cigarette between two fingers. He was staring at the ceiling, seemingly ignoring the two people standing in front of him. After a long time, he threw the cigarette on hand into the ashtray, turned his head to face Blair and General William, and startled the two people in front of him with his first words.

"It is very likely that there will be a turmoil in Scotland next. I hope that both of you can prepare now and mobilize all the people you can mobilize to be ready to deal with the conflict. In particular, the Royal Scots Regiment of the British Army will be ready if necessary." The Sixth and Seventh Battalions are cooperating with the Scotland Yard police to maintain order on the scene. You two, I am not joking, but a real accident is approaching. "

After saying this, he lifted up his sleeves and glanced at his watch, then raised his head and said unhurriedly, "There are still six hours until the release of this important decision. I think you two have enough time to prepare for what may happen. Good luck to us all in Scotland's crisis."

After listening to Prime Minister Major's words, Director Blair of Scotland Yard stepped forward. His expression looked a little anxious, but Major's words were like a magnet, attracting his curiosity, "With all due respect, Your Excellency, Prime Minister. In the end, you Let us have a baseline in mind when preparing for any major decisions.”

"Yes, we need to know what decision the Prime Minister has made, and the sooner we know the whole story, the easier it will be to formulate a strategy." General William seemed much calmer, and he also noticed the top leadership of the police station The person and the top leader of the British Army were standing in the office of the Prime Minister who was about to resign at the same time. Even a fool could see that some major accident must have happened, and it was an event related to the political stability of England.

Major thought for a moment, and he felt that what William said made sense, so he revealed all of his almost completed plan.

"This is my last move. I hope my successor will understand my good intentions at this time. At least I want everyone to know one thing. Scotland belongs to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and no one can remove it from us." In three hours, we will announce that the British government has canceled the Scottish Parliament due to some irregularities in the formation of the Parliament, so the Scottish Parliament will be dissolved and new elections will be held.”

Admiral William and Director Blair were shocked at the same time. Holding a new election for the Scottish Parliament means that the referendum bill voted by Salmond will not be passed. In this way, Prime Minister Major is really trying to prevent the separation of the North Sea oil fields from Great Britain. A lot of thought went into it.

In this case, the anger of Scottish nationalists can be imagined. They will think that Westminster is going back on its word to plot against them, and more extreme nationalists may launch organized and large-scale riots to force the central government to make concessions. That's why the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police and General William were summoned to this office by Major and told them to prepare for possible crises in the future.

"But so far we have not received any information about the possibility of large-scale conflicts. Should the entire Scotland be under martial law during this period?" Director Blair hesitated for a moment before expressing his doubts.

"If necessary, yes. It is much better to put martial law in Scotland than to have the whole of Scotland unrest. Remember, Britain cannot lose our domestic oil fields no matter what. Even if they suppress them like the IRA in Northern Ireland, Riot. No mercy."

Prime Minister Major's eyes became more determined. This was the only thing he could do before resigning.

"Afterwards, I will take all responsibilities and announce my resignation. Director Blair, General William."

Prime Minister Major suddenly stood up and bowed to the two of them unexpectedly. William and Blair looked at each other, a little unable to bear this sudden gift.

"The future of Britain depends on you two."

After coming out of John Major's office, General William had remained silent. Blair, who couldn't bear the atmosphere of silence, finally broke the previous silence. He said to General William, "General William, don't you? Have you thought about what we will do after it happens?”

"What should I do?" William asked him.

Blair said diplomatically, "About Scotland, about our future. Prime Minister John Major can choose to leave his job to allow Scotland to find a step down, but what about us? Obviously we have no such right."

William stopped, turned his head and said to Blair, "Director Blair, I hope you can understand one thing. Everything we do is to ensure the unity of the country. And it is the bounden duty of soldiers to obey orders, even if John No matter how dangerous Prime Minister Major's decision is, I support what he is doing because it is to safeguard the unity of our territory. Although many people cannot understand what he is doing, there is no doubt that he is right. "

"But..."

"There is no but. If anything happens, I am willing to stand up and face it with Prime Minister John Major. If you are not willing to fight for your country, then at least please step aside and don't hinder those who are fighting for the country."

After saying this, General William left Blair alone. He also had to mobilize the soldiers of the Royal Scottish Regiment to carry out conservative martial law. Once those rubbish in the London Metropolitan Police could not control the development of the situation, the army would intervene according to the situation. Although these things are not within their jurisdiction.

Walking out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Office, the car that picked him up just stopped in front of the gate. Before General William was about to get in the car, the gloomy sky just started to snow. General William looked up at the dark sky and the falling snowflakes, and muttered to himself, "London is destined to be restless this winter." (To be continued.)
