Chapter 1025 Evacuation

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Due to the ongoing international dispute over the use of Salom Bay, the new United Kingdom issued a notice to all expatriates living in Scotland, requiring them to evacuate Scotland within a week.  Evacuation points have been set up in 36 cities and ports including Lochgilphead and Inverness to provide free air and shipping means for the evacuation of overseas Chinese.  Salom Bay is the 37th evacuation point outside the announcement.  On the second day after the New United Kingdom issued an evacuation notice, under the surveillance of two Scottish Navy torpedo boats, the amphibious landing ship "St. Stephen" flying the flag of the New United Kingdom slowly arrived at Salom Bay No. 3  Tanker terminal.  Due to the needs of North Sea oil field extraction and transportation, the number of Irish people living around Salom Bay once exceeded 4,000. After Scotland requested that the area be forcibly taken back and controlled, the amount of crude oil exported through Salom Bay dropped compared to the past.  95%, more than half of the Irish people, have gradually returned to the country, but there are still more than a thousand people staying here, hoping that the new United Kingdom can make the Scots make concessions through non-war means.  Unfortunately, the "dictator" Balliol proposed compensation conditions that were unacceptable to the other party on the grounds of "defending Scotland's legitimate sovereignty." The talks between the two sides reached a deadlock several times, and the new United Kingdom government and people gradually lost faith in this.  In order to be patient, there are rising calls for launching a punitive war against Scotland with the momentum of the United Olympic victory. The new United Kingdom military, together with the armies of several friendly countries, held large-scale military exercises in Wales, which made people smell the approaching war.  .  After the "St. Stephen" docked, the two Scottish Navy torpedo boats still aimed their bows at this behemoth, which exceeded all Scottish ships in tonnage. The torpedo soldiers were in their respective battle positions and were ready to attack as long as the other party dared to make any bad move.  Launch deadly torpedoes at this lethal range.  In Salom Bay, the area for 10,000-ton ships is very limited. In terms of geographical location and natural conditions, this remote northern bay is not outstanding. If it were not for the development of the North Sea oil fields, it would never be able to develop to its current scale.  , the indigenous residents who have lived here for generations would not be able to have the current living conditions.  "St. Stephen" is not a Trojan horse in the Trojan horse scheme. Before sailing into Salom Bay, it had been boarded and inspected by Scottish naval officials.  There were only four rescue helicopters parked on the spacious deck. There was not a combat vehicle, an armed infantry, or any military supplies in the landing module. Instead, it was used to transport expatriates.  Seats, beds, dining carts and medical carts were temporarily installed.  The accompanying destroyer escort was also waiting fifteen nautical miles away from the entry channel.  "Irish people, go back to Ireland!" "Never see you again, never meet again!" "No one can occupy an inch of Scotland's land!" A few banners were hung in eye-catching positions near the pier. This was a special farewell to the local Scottish residents.  The only expressions of concern from neighbors were that most simply watched in silence as the people who brought prosperity to Salom Bay left.  With the stagnation of crude oil transportation, this modern harbor lined with cranes has lost its original vitality, and even shows the desolate scene of an abandoned place.  Most of the expatriates from the new United Kingdom were Irish. Under the protection of their own marines, they boarded their new warships in an orderly manner.  Externally, the new United Kingdom Navy classifies amphibious landing ships as military auxiliary ships. Internally, the two newly commissioned amphibious landing ships are capital ship-level existences in terms of tactical rules and exercise roles. Furthermore, their tonnage and  The cost is equivalent to about two-thirds of the Fenia-class aircraft carrier. Why do real auxiliary ships need such high unit construction costs?  In the afternoon, the ground command and liaison officers of the Salom Bay evacuation operation followed the last group of immigrants onto the "St. Stephen". They met the captain, Colonel I-Grian, under the bridge.  "Gentlemen!" the colonel nodded, "We will arrive on time, within an hour. I hope your work will be done on time, and you must not miss even a single expat!" "Don't worry!" the leading official replied, "Everyone  All registered expatriates have been registered, and there are still a few people with dual or multiple nationalities who voluntarily stayed to try their luck. We have asked them to write a letter of commitment, promising not to treat themselves as nationals of the new United Kingdom after we leave.  "Is there such a weirdo?" Colonel Green asked curiously.  The official directed the colonel's gaze around the dock: "Look at these crane towers, tracks and oil depot facilities, which one is not worth millions? When we leave, these assets are nominally sealed, but who will guarantee them?"  Are those Scottish policemen at the police station? "Colonel Green thought for a moment: "Well, I understand what you mean, if I were you, I might force them.Let's go, lest they do bad things after we leave.  "The official shrugged: "If we take coercive measures, we will definitely leave something to say to the Scottish authorities at this moment.  Besides, these guys who are not doing their job can only dismantle and steal some small equipment. They are not able to take away the large equipment and facilities. Moreover, the Scottish authorities have been coveting these crude oil transfer and primary processing facilities for a long time, and they will not let them  Wrongful.  " "What if the Scottish authorities want to get rid of them?  "The colonel asked again. "Not to mention the technology and cost of relocating them, they were designed to serve the North Sea oil fields from the beginning. If they leave Salom Bay, they will lose their original value and become a pile of waste.  Iron makes no difference.  The official said with both pride and worry, "Mr. Colonel, it won't be long before we come back here as victors, right?"  Colonel Green smiled slyly: "For us, teaching the Scottish Navy a lesson is like cutting butter with a knife. There is no pressure. The key is to do it appropriately."  The official raised his eyebrows and said, "You're not convinced yet?"  The colonel nodded: "Yeah, I'm not sure yet, but it should be soon!"  "Compared with the calmness of the evacuation operation in Salom Bay, the comprehensive evacuation operation of the New United Kingdom in Glasgow, a seaport in southwestern Scotland, triggered strong dissatisfaction among the local people. This dissatisfaction was not directed at the government and army of the New United Kingdom, but  It was directed at the dictator Greor and the military and political officials he appointed. Since Scotland's independence, Glasgow's recovery and development speed is second to none in Scotland, and its prosperous shipping and manufacturing industries have benefited largely from the new union.  The rise of the kingdom. Because of this, the evacuation operation of the New United Kingdom in Port Glasgow was the largest of all evacuation points. More than 60,000 people boarded the ship before and after, and the population of Glasgow was less than 500,000.  Most of the Irish people working and living in Glasgow are businessmen and technicians. Their evacuation means the withdrawal of capital and technology. In the past two weeks, factories have closed, banks have run, and the bond market has plummeted. People seem to have returned to the late 1920s and 1930s.  Since the early economic crisis, people from all walks of life have become increasingly resistant to the decisions of Scotland¡¯s top leaders. The dissatisfaction accumulated over the years has been vented through public demonstrations, marches for orders, strikes and protests. This can be seen everywhere at the Port of Glasgow.  Slogan: ¡°Goodbye, Irish friends!  " "Long live peace!  longlive friendship!  " "We don't want war!  " "The Britons are one family!  "In order to evacuate the nationals in the shortest possible time, the new United Kingdom mobilized and directed the country's commercial shipping capacity. All Atlantic sea passenger routes and air passenger routes were suspended. 6 transoceanic cruise ships, 20 ordinary cruise ships, and  Liners, 16 transoceanic passenger planes and 60 ordinary passenger planes were concentrated in Glasgow for the evacuation operation, which showed the world from one aspect the strong strength of the new United Kingdom in the field of transnational and intercontinental shipping.  The Scottish officials in Glasgow who oversaw the evacuation of the New United Kingdom also had to lament: If Scotland were to evacuate the immigrants from the other side, even if all the transportation capacity was concentrated in one place, it would still be inferior to what the New United Kingdom was doing today. From 5 a.m. to  At 11 o'clock in the evening, the new United Kingdom evacuated more than 720,000 nationals from various parts of Scotland, and more than 50,000 people with dual or multiple nationalities evacuated from Scotland. The evacuation operation completion rate reached 82%, and there is only half a day left.  The evacuation can be successfully concluded. Although the new United Kingdom government announced in the announcement that the cancellation was mainly aimed at the increasingly violent force exclusion actions throughout Scotland during the diplomatic dispute between the two countries, and was an initiative to evacuate overseas Chinese to protect the safety of their lives and property.  Although there is no direct military purpose, such a comprehensive evacuation still prompted many onlookers to make the decision to temporarily leave Scotland. It is difficult to get tickets for outbound cruise ships, liners and airliners, trains to England are full, and border roads  There were long queues at the port all night long The new United Kingdom evacuated hundreds of thousands of expatriates at lightning speed, and the Scottish government's evacuation announcement was belatedly. Their reason was exactly the same as the other party, that is, to avoid their own expatriates.  Before the diplomatic dispute between the two countries subsided, they were ostracized, suppressed, and persecuted by the people of the other country. However, what embarrassed Scotland was that the Scots living in Ireland and Wales had a lackluster response to the country¡¯s evacuation announcement. Of the more than 200,000 registered expatriates, only  Sixty percent of them reported to the evacuation point on time. The remaining people either lost contact on their own or expressed their willingness to stay in other countries and bear all the consequences accordingly. The Scottish military is responsible for organizing and implementing the evacuation operation, which also affects the country's maritime and air transport capabilities.  The Scottish military strictly implemented the order, and the drafted crews and ships also obeyed the military's dispatch, but at the end of the two-day time limit, there were still several people.??Scottish expatriates were stranded in Irish and Welsh ports and eventually had to return to Scotland on foreign passenger ships and flights, including those of the new United Kingdom.  (End of this chapter)
