The founding of the Republic of Ireland caused a stir in Europe. Although the Republic of Ireland is not enough to see in front of many European powers, the entire Ireland Islands has an area of ​​only 100,000 square kilometers and a population of only more than 6 million. Its military strength is much worse than that of the Kingdom of Belgium. However, the establishment of the Republic of Ireland has had a huge impact on the political structure of Europe.

The Chinese Empire directly supported the founding of the Republic of Ireland, which meant that the Chinese Empire began to intervene in the European regime change. The Kingdom of Prussia directly expressed its attitude. They believed that the Chinese Empire's support for the Republic of Ireland was probably inappropriate. After all, the original covenant stipulated very clearly that no member of the Asian-European military alliance could make peace with the enemy country alone.

However, the Chinese Empire immediately refuted. The Republic of Ireland was a country established by the Irish independence movement and the Irish people, and had nothing to do with the British government. They were just opposing British colonial rule. The Republic of Ireland was not an enemy of the Asian-European military alliance, but also a potential ally. The Chinese Empire even hoped that the Republic of Ireland would join the Asian-European military alliance. However, this was firmly opposed by the Kingdom of Prussia. Even the Ottoman Turkish Empire had a lot of remarks about this, so the Republic of Ireland could only temporarily give up on the issue of joining the Asian-European military alliance.

Of course, in order to ensure the security of the empire against the Republic of Ireland, the empire signed a military defense treaty with the Republic of Ireland. The treaty stipulates that the Republic of Ireland will become the protector of the Chinese Empire. If the Republic of Ireland is attacked, it will declare war on the Chinese Empire. This fully protects the security of the Republic of Ireland and makes other countries afraid to have any ambitions for the Republic of Ireland. Even if the Kingdom of Prussia is very dissatisfied with this, there is no reason to accuse the Chinese Empire. After all, as a sovereign state, the Chinese Empire has the power to choose its own allies.

The UK was gritting its teeth at the establishment of the Republic of Ireland. In particular, the Republic of Ireland announced that the territory of the Republic of Ireland not only includes Ireland, but also Wales, which made Queen Victoria of the UK and senior officials in the cabinet angry.

Although Ireland is a territory conquered hundreds of years ago, Wales has always been an integral part of Britain! Now, with the support of the Chinese Empire, the Republic of Ireland attempts to include Wales in their rule, which is simply impossible. It also makes them unacceptable.

The British government announced that they would not recognize the Republic of Ireland and declare that the Irish independence movement was an illegal separatist organization. The UK would find ways to eliminate the Irish independence movement and maintain British unity.

However, everyone knows that this is just the British deceiving themselves. Faced with the blockade of the Chinese Navy, the British army even had a problem with local defense, let alone fighting the Irish Sea and extermination of the Irish independence movement. By the time the Chinese army landed on the Irish Island, it would probably be the time when Britain was completely destroyed. In this regard, no one is optimistic about the British. Britain's resistance now is more like trapping beasts and fighting. Their demise is only a matter of time.

After the Imperial Army captured the Ireland Island, it has begun to plan to launch an attack on the Isle of Great Britain. With the Ireland Island as a forward base, it is undoubtedly easier for the Empire to land on the Ireland Islands. Whether it is crossing the Irish Sea, the North Strait, or the St. George Strait in the south, it is not a big problem.

When the Imperial Army launched an attack on Great Britain, the Imperial Navy had completely controlled the Irish Sea, the North Strait and the North Sea. The Imperial Army's 14th Army set out from the northern part of the Ireland Islands, crossed the North Strait, and landed in Strandal, western Scotland. Although, in order to prevent the Imperial Army, the British deployed a total of 700,000 troops in Scotland. There were only 500,000 troops in the early stage, and an additional 200,000 troops in the later stage.

However, the coastline of Scotland is too long and too twisty. Although there are more than 700,000 people, it is impossible to block the attack of the Imperial Army. In addition, the Imperial Navy can provide sufficient firepower support for the landing of the Imperial Army. The Imperial Army can easily successfully land in Strandal.

More than 100,000 imperial troops tore open the British defense line and marched towards Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. The successful landing of the Imperial Army made the British feel as if they were facing a great enemy. The British Army hurriedly assembled troops and prepared to siege the landing 14th Army.

On the morning of July 25, 1855, the 15th Army of the Imperial Army landed in Pace Bay in eastern Scotland under the escort of the warships of the Imperial Navy's 1st Fleet. More than 100,000 troops directly attacked Edinburgh.

The Imperial Army dispatched two armies, with more than 300,000 troops, instantly defeating the British defense in Scotland. In addition, the James Party also began to exert their influence, which led many British officers to lead their troops to surrender to the Empire, so that the Empire could easily win.

On July 27, the 15th Army of the Imperial Army captured Edinburgh, which further shook the British defense line in Scotland. A large number of British troops even began to retreat south spontaneously. Although Scotland and England were connected, they could still receive support from England. However, they were still afraid that everything that happened in Ireland would repeat itself in Scotland. Retreat now seems to be their best choice.

Under such circumstances, it would be even more impossible for the British Army to resist the attack of the Imperial Army.

The British army retreated to the Cheviet Hills before reorganizing the defense line. However, at this time, the British army was almost scared and it was impossible for them to resist the attack of the Imperial Army.

For this reason, the British Army Minister Marquis Anglesey had to send a large number of troops to the Cheviet Hills so that it could form a solid line of defense to block the Imperial Army's attack. As for counterattack, it is almost impossible without thinking.

Although, before the battle began, the British Army had formed a regular army of three million people and a reserve force of two million people. However, in Ireland they lost 500,000 people. In Scotland, the Imperial Army's offense also caused the British Army to lose hundreds of thousands of people. The remaining troops in England were only more than two million. At the same time, due to the fall of a large number of land and the population was also lost, reducing the reserve force of the British Army by almost half.

In such a situation, the British Army should consider how to maintain a fragile defense line rather than launch a counterattack. If they launch a rashly counterattack, command will make them suffer greater losses.

On July 29, 1855, Francisco I, the heir to the British throne of the James Party, arrived in Edinburgh accompanied by the top leaders of the James Party. With the support of the Chinese Empire, Francisco I announced that the Kingdom of Scotland would be restored again, and he became the king of the Kingdom of Scotland, Francisco I.

The founding of the Kingdom of Scotland is far less than that of the Republic of Ireland. This is mainly because the founding of the Republic of Ireland has shocked everyone.

Of course, many people who supported the James Party still cheered. After the Glorious Revolution, the James Party began to fight. More than two hundred years later, the heirs of the orthodox throne they insisted on finally ascended the throne in Britain again. Although this was just the king of the Kingdom of Scotland, they still saw hope.

According to the agreement between the Chinese Empire and the James Party, the territory of the future Kingdom of Scotland, in addition to the original Scotland area, will further extend southward, one branch extending to Liverpool, Manchester and Kingston, which is equivalent to demarcating the northern part of England into the Kingdom of Scotland. Although this vast area is not under the rule of the Kingdom of Scotland now, everyone believes that with the support of the Chinese Empire, the territory of the Kingdom of Scotland will definitely further expand southward in the future.

The British royal family and government still firmly deny the establishment of the Kingdom of Scotland as always, and they claimed that any attempt to split Britain would not be successful. The British people would oppose such behavior, and the British would only finally be in the Hannover royal family.

Queen Victoria and Prince Albert summoned the cabinet prime minister Earl Stanley and the Army Minister Marquis Anglesey, asking them not only to find ways to resist the attack of the Chinese army, but also to find ways to destroy the Kingdom of Scotland, and maintain and defend the unity of Britain.

Earl Stanley and Marquis Anglesey were in a dilemma for Her Majesty’s request. Nowadays, even self-protection is a problem, let alone counterattacking. Therefore, they could only perfunctory Queen Victoria.

The Chinese Empire was the first to recognize the Kingdom of Scotland, the Kingdom of Ireland, the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium, and followed closely behind the Kingdom of Scotland. The Kingdom of Prussia did not recognize the Kingdom of Scotland. The Ottoman Turkish Empire had a somewhat shaky attitude. However, as the empire's powerful strength was revealed, the Ottoman Turkish Empire would definitely make the right choice.

Like the Republic of Ireland, the Kingdom of Scotland was also rejected from the Asia-European military alliance. However, the Chinese Empire did not care. The Chinese Empire still signed a protection treaty with the Kingdom of Scotland, declaring the security of the Kingdom of Scotland and being protected by the Empire. Any hostile act against the Kingdom of Scotland will be regarded as a provocation or even an invasion of the Empire of Scotland. (To be continued...)
