"Damn Kate Douglas, he dared to make himself king." George IV roared angrily like an angry lion. The ground was full of fragments of vases, and they all became victims of George IV's anger. After the Douglas family betrayed, captured Edinburgh, controlled the whole of Scotland, and announced that they would become King of Scotland, George IV was very angry after the news reached London. He felt that he had been provoked. For hundreds of years, Britain had only one king, but now it has become two kings and one president. How could he swallow this breath?

"Edward, tell Williams that he must send troops to destroy the Douglas family no matter what. I will hang all these traitors." George IV said viciously.

Edward did not dare to violate the order of George IV, and quickly conveyed his request to Williams.

"Duke, Your Excellency, things are a bit difficult to handle! Now the Irish rebels are attacking our country. They have occupied the whole of Wales. The army is on the front line to resist the attack of the Irish rebels. We really can't spare any extra troops to go Scotland." Williams said helplessly.

Edward's face changed after hearing Liverpool's explanation, so he said with some reproach: "As the Prime Minister of the British Empire, don't you just watch the country being divided and the royal family insulted like this?"

"Your Excellency, it's not that I don't care, but I really don't have the ability to manage it." Williams said coldly. Although Edward is a member of the royal family, he is only the Minister of the Interior in the cabinet. What qualifications does he have to question me? Williams thought a little angrily.

"Since you don't have the ability, then why are you still the prime minister? It's better to abdicate." Edward was completely stunned by anger. In his opinion, Williams was just a dog raised by the royal family. Now William James dared to talk to him like this, which made him very angry.

"Your Excellency the Duke, whether I have the ability to be the Prime Minister is not up to you. If you have nothing else to do, please go back, I have other things to do." Williams issued the order to evict the guest with a cold face.

"You. Good, good." Edward was trembling with anger. Then he left the Prime Minister's Office, returned to Buckingham Palace, and scolded Williams in front of George IV. George IV was very angry after hearing this, but considering that it was not the time to turn his face against Williams, he suppressed his anger and sent someone to invite Williams.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I hope you can come up with a solution to the Scottish problem. The Douglas family dared to openly treason. We must eliminate them as soon as possible, otherwise, what is the face of the royal family? What is the dignity of the country?" George IV roared. , because of excitement, his face flushed red.

"Your Majesty, the best way is to send troops to Socra to suppress the rebellion, but our troops are very empty now, and the war situation in Wales is also very unfavorable to us. We simply don't have any extra troops to mobilize right now," Williams explained. road.

"Oh my god! The war has been going on for so many days, why hasn't the army driven the Irish back? Is our army really so weak that it can't even fight the Irish?" George IV said with a look of grief and indignation .

"Your Majesty, the main reason is that Ireland received the secret support of France. They formed a huge army for Ireland. At the same time, they refused to export arms to our country, which made our country at a disadvantage in the early stage of the war. But I believe that with the war The balance of victory will gradually tilt towards us." Williams said firmly.

"What's the situation in Wales now? How long will it take for the army to wipe out the Irish rebels?" George IV calmed down and asked.

"In general, it is very unfavorable to our country now. On December 10 last year, Ireland suddenly declared war on our country, and sent troops to capture Anglesey Island, and used the island as a base to attack Wales. During this war in Ireland A total of 3 infantry divisions and 1 artillery independent brigade were invested, with a total of more than 50,000 people. The 2nd Infantry Division stationed in Wales suffered heavy losses under the attack of Irish superior forces and had to retreat to southern Wales. After that, our army The 3rd Infantry Division rushed to support, but was still absolutely weak in strength. In the Battle of Cardiff, our army was defeated again and had to withdraw from Wales. Now, the two sides are in a stalemate on both sides of the Wye. If our army does not If the reinforcements arrive, the situation will be very unfavorable to our army. In the war in Wales, our 2nd Infantry Division lost more than 7,000 people, and the 3rd Infantry Division lost more than 4,000 people. The loss of the Irish Army is also about 1 In order to reverse the situation on the battlefield, I implore Your Majesty to send the 1st Infantry Division of the Praetorian Guards to join the battle." After speaking, Williams bowed deeply to George IV. He had already expected George IV's intention to find him, so he used words to trap George IV first. In the current British army, only 4 infantry divisions are fully equipped, including the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd infantry divisions of the army and the 1st infantry division of the Praetorian Guards.

"Cough, cough!" George IV was very depressed. He didn't expect Williams to do this to him. The 1st Infantry Division of the Praetorian Guards was formed with great effort by the royal family. It would be a delusion to easily transfer this unit to the battlefield. "Williams, doesn't the Army still have a 1st Infantry Division? Isn't it the same for them to go to the front? Besides, the duty of the Imperial Guard is to protect the royal family, so how can they go to the battlefield casually?"

"Your Majesty, the task of the 1st Infantry Division is also very difficult! You know that the French still have an army of more than 20,000 people stationed in the London area. If the 1st Infantry Division is transferred to the front line , If there is any change in London, we will be too late! Besides, you didn’t ask the army to solve Scotland’s problems, and now you have no resources.” Williams said “innocently”.

George IV broke out in a cold sweat, and then compromised, saying: "Let's do this. Two regiments will be dispatched from the Guards to Scotland. The Douglas family doesn't have many troops at all now, and sending two regiments is enough. .As for the 1st Infantry Division, how about going to support the front line?"

"Alright then!" Finally, Williams also compromised.

On January 4, the British 1st Infantry Division rushed to the Welsh front. With their joining, the strength of the British army has been greatly increased, gradually bringing the balance of power between the two sides back to the same level. However, due to the obstruction of the Wye River, it was very difficult for the British army to attack Wales or the Irish army to attack England.

On the same day, two regiments of the Guards also marched towards Scotland. The current Scottish military strength is also very weak. The early 5,000 armed men have formed two regiments, but they lack heavy weapons and their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. At the same time, two new divisions were recruited, but they had not received training at all, and they would not be able to play much role on the battlefield. On January 8, the British army entered Scotland, and the two sides fought fiercely on the banks of the Clyde River. Everyone had the same strength and invested in two regiments, but the combat effectiveness of the British army was obviously higher than that of the Scottish army. In the battle of the Clyde River, the Scottish army was defeated, losing more than 1,000 people. Afterwards, the Scottish army returned to Edinburgh to defend. Since the strength gap between the two sides was not very large, the British army could not break through Edinburgh. One month later, with the secret help of France, the 1st Scottish Infantry Division was put into the battlefield after simple training, and the Scottish army guarding Edinburgh also launched a counterattack. For a while, the British army lost and had to retreat . The Scottish army pursued closely, not only driving all the British troops out of Scotland, but also burning the flames of war to the mainland of England. No way, George IV had to send all the remaining more than 10,000 people from the 1st Infantry Division of the Praetorian Guards to the north, which temporarily contained the Scottish army's attack.

In order to get out of the predicament ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ the British side urgently contacted France again, hoping to buy a batch of arms, and France did not want the UK to be wiped out by Ireland and Scotland, so it exported to the UK equipment capable of equipping two divisions arms. At the same time, after getting the news, Ireland and Scotland also ordered a batch of arms from France again, which caused the blood of the three British countries to flow into rivers, while France made a lot of war money on the sidelines.

"Your Majesty, I have thought of a way to solve the British problem once and for all." Foreign Minister Gregory came to Xiao Jie's office in the Tuileries Palace excitedly.

"Oh, what method, let's talk about it." Xiao Jie's interest was immediately aroused.

"It's like this. I don't know if you have noticed, but the next first in line to the British throne is Alexandra Victoria, who is only 8 years old this year, and His Royal Highness Crown Prince Borchardt is only 16 years old this year. , we can definitely propose that the two of them get engaged, so that His Royal Highness Borchardt will be the husband of the next British queen, then there will be no conflict between the two countries, at least in the next few decades." Ligoo said with a lewd smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Alexandra? Victoria is the famous Queen Victoria in the future. Letting Queen Victoria be my daughter-in-law seems to be a very good choice." Xiao Jie rubbed his chin and thought.
