    Edinburgh, the capital city.  Since taking over the power of the country, Greol has renamed the original presidential palace to the presidential palace.  Since the powers of the President and the Prime Minister were merged into one, important departments that were originally located in the Prime Minister's Office had to be moved here, filling the three-story building in a zigzag shape, and even the former utility room was used.  In the early hours of the morning, many rooms in the Heads of State are still brightly lit, especially in the chambers that are usually used to hold high-level meetings. Military and political officials of the Republic of Scotland are present one by one, including cabinet members, chiefs of staff of the three services, military district commanders and  The staff of the Heads of State, including two special military advisors from the Imperial Japanese Army, artillery expert Yamazaki Seiji and tactics expert Miyata Yuichi, were sitting or standing, bowing their heads in thought, or whispering to each other.  "Everyone, return to your seats!" The attendant said hello, and the military and political dignitaries and senior staff returned to their respective positions, cheering up and keeping their seats upright.  After a while, Head of State Greol, accompanied by Defense Minister General Hugo Elsess, entered the chamber.  After sitting down, Greor cleared his throat: "Okay, everyone, let's resume the meeting. Regarding the new United Kingdom ultimatum, we will hold an official press conference at 8 noon as previously agreed, and I will give a national radio address at 9 o'clock.  , announce the contents of the ultimatum and our country¡¯s official position to the world, and try our best to create a favorable public opinion trend. Next, we have to make a decision on another key issue General Elseth, please wear it!¡±  Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, holding a thick stack of items in his hand, he said loudly: "Everyone, I think everyone is relatively clear about the current military strength of the Republic of Scotland, but many of our opponents only have a vague concept, that is  They are very powerful. Recently, we have used all the intelligence forces deployed in Ireland, Wales and England to collect a large amount of military intelligence. Once a war breaks out, we will face an attack of at least 550,000 coalition troops deployed on various fronts.  We have more than 4,600 combat aircraft, 3,200 combat vehicles, 5,500 armored vehicles, 9,000 artillery pieces, and 450 ships. Basically all weapons and equipment have overwhelming advantages. Our only advantage is local operations and the ability to mobilize reservists and  The militiamen went into battle." After saying this, General Elsess paused for a moment. He looked around at everyone, as if observing everyone's expressions and reactions.  The usually arrogant government officials all had their eyelids drooped, like a group of chickens that had been infected with the plague. The mood of the military generals was not high, but the two Japanese military advisers held their heads high and stood tall as usual.  He held his chest open, and there was no trace of fear on his face.  "If all diplomatic methods fail, our combat plan is: the troops deployed on the border defense line will retreat to the A defense line in an orderly manner, relying on rivers, lakes, mountains, highlands and cities to block the enemy's attack. Each department must be in the designated area  After holding the defense zone for three days, the main force retreated to the B defense line on the night of the fourth day. The guerrilla troops hid between the AB defense lines, waiting for opportunities to attack the enemy's supply line. We had to hold on to the B defense line for at least four more days, which added up to a week.  This week is enough for the international community and the League of Nations to respond appropriately to the new United Kingdom's invasion and put pressure on the new United Kingdom and its allies from the outside. We will accept the mediation of the League of Nations or Germany in a timely manner and accept the requirements of the other party.  To quell the war, on the surface, we have lost the war, but we will win the respect of the world, which will lay a solid foundation for us to develop the international trade market in the future.¡± The Scottish generals present had already participated in this combat plan.  discussions at all levels, so no one will raise objections at this time.  Of course Greor knew this very well, so he turned his attention to the two Japanese generals with black hair and yellow skin, wearing white wide-collared shirts and dark green military uniforms.  The taller of the two stood up, bowed to Greor and said, "Based on our understanding of the armies of both sides, the Scottish army should not have much of a problem holding on to defense line A for three days.  Holding the line of defense for four days may be a bit reluctant, but you should be able to persevere if you grit your teeth. However, given that the response of the international community has always been slow, and the response of the League of Nations may be even slower, the Scottish army will continue to fight after these seven days.  The coalition forces must defend Edinburgh and Glasgow desperately. Regardless of victory or defeat, your capital and industrial heart will be reduced to rubble. I wonder if you are ready for a desperate fight? " General Elseth frowned:  "There is no doubt that Edinburgh and Glasgow are two cities related to the destiny of Scotland. We will never give them up to the enemy or let them disappear from the map. If there is no hope of defending the city, we would rather retreat to the northern highlands and use all our people to  Guerrilla to delay time!" The Japanese general looked a little disappointed: "So, you are still planning to abandon Edinburgh and Glasgow, instead of holding on to the city?" Elseth said: "Whether it is a defense or a retreat, the purpose is  It¡¯s all about delaying time.?If the international community does not intervene, it will be impossible for us to defeat our opponents.  " "No chance of winning?  ha!  I think all of you here are timid!  "The short Japanese general spoke English with a strange pronunciation and sneered contemptuously: "Since ancient times, there have been many battles in which the weak defeated the strong and the small defeated the large. The gap in weapons and equipment can be completely resolved through wise strategies.  Make up for it, but if the generals lack courage and the soldiers lack courage, even if Emperor Napoleon, whom you Europeans admire very much, is the commander-in-chief, there will be no way to save it.  " This short officer is Yuichi Miyata. He is both a tactical expert and a master of swordsmanship. He has stayed in Scotland for almost two years and has never failed in any swordsmanship test. In addition, he has successfully helped the Scottish military in a major battle.  The large-scale military reorganization and officer training have significantly improved the combat effectiveness of the Scottish army. When talking to the Scottish generals, he increasingly showed his oriental sense of superiority. "General Miyata, you can't say that.  Scotland¡¯s territory, population and economic conditions are here. Apart from unwavering patriotism, we have no advantage over our opponents.  Besides, the troops from various countries participating in the Welsh Exercise have not yet withdrawn. They either have military alliance agreements with the New United Kingdom or are driven by its win over. Once the war starts, Scotland will have to fight against many powerful countries on its own.  Although wisdom and strategy can make up for the gap in military strength, the enemy commander is a genius commander who only happens once in a century. How can we not feel sad?  "General Elseth defended. "Yes!  "John Adam, Commander-in-Chief of the Scottish Air Force, echoed, "Our pilots are all brave and fearless, but we only have more than 400 new fighter jets, less than a quarter of the new United Kingdom, and our combat experience is basically  It cannot be compared with the conquering army of Joachim I.  Once a war breaks out, our air force will never shrink from the battle, but this also means that we will soon be exhausted under the impact of the enemy.  " General Gordon, Chief of Staff of the Army, also said: "General Miyata, we respect the bravery of your army and look forward to the early arrival of the volunteer regiment sent by your country. However, even if this new force can arrive in time, it will not be possible.  It only added one or two divisions to our ground combat capabilities, but the gap in strength and equipment between the enemy and ourselves is still huge.  To fight the enemy knowing that there is no hope of victory is not bravery, but stupidity.  Seeing that the senior generals of the Scottish military were colluding on the issue of the enemy, Miyata snorted: "As a soldier, you must either make up your mind to fight to the death, or accept the enemy's ultimatum as soon as possible and just be a coward. Why bother?"  So hesitant?  " Being humiliated by this, Elseth immediately stood up and said: "You" "Okay!  "Dictator" Greol slammed the table, "I invite you all to come here, not to listen to your quarrels, but to discuss important matters with everyone."  Although General Miyata's words are biased, he does have a point. I think many of us suffer from Irish phobia and feel that the Irish army is invincible. Regardless of the outcome of this dispute, this idea should be recognized.  A complete correction.  " Without waiting for the Scottish soldiers present to speak, Miyata stood up and bowed deeply to Griol, saying: "What the Head of State said is true!  No matter at any time, you must not be afraid of the enemy, otherwise you will be defeated before fighting.  " Greol nodded towards the Japanese consultant who always spoke out loud, and then looked around at everyone: "There is no doubt that with the current strength and combat readiness of the Scottish army, it is extremely unwise to choose to fight the enemy coalition.  However, I believe that after this ultimatum is announced, the international community will have a clearer understanding of the belligerent nature of the new United Kingdom, allowing us to regain the initiative in the subsequent diplomatic tug-of-war.  " "In other words, we accepted the ultimatum on the surface, but in fact continued to delay, and finally resolved the dispute through diplomatic negotiations.  ¡± Elseth answered. The Minister of Defense¡¯s military literacy and organizational skills are mediocre, but this does not mean that he is a useless loser who can reach his current position from a low-level officer with insight and flexibility.  It's definitely not bad. Greol nodded and said: "Yes, the combat plan is just a plan to deal with emergencies, not a current decision.  After releasing the contents of the ultimatum and our position through various channels, let¡¯s see the reaction of the international community and heads of state.  Before the deadline for the ultimatum arrives, we will wait and see what happens, and at the same time be prepared to deal with various situations, such as Is it possible for the enemy to conduct intrusive aerial reconnaissance against us?  Is it possible to conduct a test fire in the border area?  Is it possible to intentionally provoke some form of conflict?  Faced with these situations, we can neither give in weakly nor let our opponents seize the excuse to launch war. This seems simple to say, but it is not easy at all to do. It is like walking a tightrope in a juggling act, and we must be careful.  ¡± /bk
