Chapter 101, Planting the Sun (Part 1)
PS: The explanation for the halving of the population after the famine in Ireland - there were four million people in Ireland at that time, one million died of starvation during the famine, and another one million fled overseas, mostly immigrating to the United States, the homeland on the island of Ireland. Naturally, the population has been reduced by half. Relatively speaking, has there ever been a famine in China in which a quarter of the people starved to death, and then a quarter of the people escaped, leaving only half of the population still in their hometown? Even the Japanese invasion didn't kill people like this! Also, the phrase "Nobel Prize winner Dylan Gould" is a spoof. If you don't understand it, please don't take it seriously. There is no such person.

"...I have a beautiful wish. When I grow up, I can sow the sun.
Sow one and one is enough. It will produce many, many suns.
Give one to Antarctica. One for the Arctic Ocean.
One hangs in, hangs in the winter. One hangs at night, hangs at night.
La la la, plant the sun. La la la, plant the sun. La la la la, la la la la, plant the sun.
By that time, every corner of the world will become warm and bright..."
On the super giant ship "Ocean Oasis" with a displacement of 300,000 tons, in a specially decorated luxury cabin, Senior Sister Ma Tong hummed the oldest version of the ship's "Nuclear Explosion Divine Song" in a tone full of ghostly meaning. "Planting the Sun" while drawing mushroom clouds on the world map.
——It is very regrettable that although the young Queen Elizabeth II is exhausted, she would rather hand over the crown to let her subjects end this nightmare life. However, after her unconditional surrender was sent out, the war still did not end, and the nightmare did not stop.
Because Prime Minister Churchill, who was stubborn, stubborn, crazy, or had no choice but to go all the way, fled to Canada on a large seaplane on the same day, and immediately established the British Empire's government-in-exile in Toronto. The unconditional surrender decree of Queen Elizabeth II was declared invalid, and she was deposed from the throne. Instead, Queen Elizabeth II's sister, Princess Margaret, who was taking refuge in Canada, became the king.
——Although under the current situation, Princess Margaret has no intention of competing for the throne with her sister, but under the gunpoint of the United States of America, this underage girl did not say "no" at all. power, she had no choice but to advance and become Queen Margaret with a straight face.
Then, Prime Minister Churchill and the British Empire-in-exile government he formed in Canada will unite under the flag of the new Queen - or the stars and stripes of the former rebel colonies in the south, and continue to fight the evil Bolshevik forces to the end... At first glance, it seems Nothing has changed.
However, it is not entirely true that Queen Elizabeth II's unconditional surrender decree had no effect at all. At least, in Britain, which has suffered from nuclear explosions, almost no one is willing to follow Churchill to death - all the forces that can send telegrams use the Queen's Edict to express their support. The Queen's decree agreed to unconditional surrender to the Soviet Union. As for violating the constitution and not complying with procedures, these small flaws that are not worth mentioning were spontaneously ignored by everyone in the face of the test of life and death.
In this regard, the Soviet Union stated that it could accept the unconditional surrender of Queen Elizabeth II, provided that Her Majesty the Queen must go to Moscow in person to sign the surrender agreement, and at the same time hand over all remaining British naval vessels to the Soviet Red Army, especially the Mediterranean Fleet that had just been recalled. . If the above terms can be fulfilled, the Soviet Red Army will no longer carry out new strategic bombings and nuclear strikes on the British mainland, and will provide a number of relief supplies.
——In fact, Queen Elizabeth II only fulfilled 50% of the above requirements, that is, she went to Moscow to beg for surrender in person... As for the remaining British naval fleet, most of them followed Churchill to Canada or the United States, and a few They chose to scuttle the ship and sink it, or just find a nook to dump the ship, and then the crew dispersed and fled. There were not even a single ship willing to obey Queen Elizabeth II's instructions to surrender to the Soviet Union. Even the royal yacht was kidnapped by Prime Minister Churchill, so much so that Elizabeth II had to ask the Soviets to send a plane to pick her up.
What? After the Queen leaves, who will take care of the country? Of course, don't worry about it. Anyway, the chaos is so great that even the government has been paralyzed. Elizabeth II can neither provide food supplies for refugee relief nor troops to suppress the civil unrest. What else can she do except let it go and leave?
In view of this, Stalin also only fulfilled 50% of his promise. The nuclear explosions finally stopped, but the humanitarian aid supplies failed. Moreover, at least for a short period of time, Comrade Stalin and the entire Soviet leadership had no intention of sending troops to land on the island of Great Britain to surrender, let alone take over such a mess on the island - after dropping so many nuclear bombs After that, even if the entire island of Great Britain had not been completely reduced to a radioactive wasteland, the material wealth accumulated over the years since the Industrial Revolution was probably almost destroyed. As for the accumulation of cutting-edge technologies in the UK, first of all, Oxford University and Cambridge University have now become nuclear pollution zones, and God knows what will be left; secondly, after acquiring a large amount of future technologies through the zealous and patriotic shipgirl Miss Sophie, After that, Stalin actually looked down on the stuff the British guys kept secretly under their beds.
On the island of Great Britain today, in addition to nuclear pollution and radiation sickness, there are famines and riots. In this era, because we can rely on maritime trade to continuously import wheat from North America, fruits from South America, rice and spices from India, As well as livestock from Denmark, marine fish from Norway... The UK's food self-sufficiency rate is only 30%. Although since the war against Nazi Germany, the Churchill cabinet implemented a strict wartime rationing system, which greatly reduced food waste, coupled with various agricultural production movements during the war, the British food self-sufficiency rate increased in the 1940s. promote. However, with the proliferation of Soviet nuclear bombs and the collapse of British industry, British farmers have no fertilizers and pesticides, and many land and water sources are contaminated by nuclear bombs. Next year's crop production is bound to become a tragedy, and half of the country's population will starve to death and freeze to death. A very conservative estimate. What's more, since the port cities where food was stored were largely destroyed by nuclear explosions, it was still unknown how many people would survive until the next harvest.
Under such circumstances, if Stalin really wanted to seize the false name of occupying Britain and sent a large number of Soviet Red Army troops across the sea island, then these tens of millions of British civilians who were waiting for food and filled with resentment would become a burden to the Soviets. The Soviet army that occupied the British mainland not only had to spend a lot of food, medicine, fuel and other materials to support a group of people who were always seeking revenge on them, but they also had to fight a protracted security war in the UK and eliminate those who were in society on behalf of the British government. Robbery gangs roaming around after the collapse, as well as gangs that dominate the mountains and segregate territories... Even in order to deliver aid to various British counties, the British had to repair the railways, roads, airports and ports destroyed by the nuclear explosion. ——No matter how you look at it, it’s all thankless.
What's more, without London, Oxford, Birmingham and Manchester, what places would be left worth occupying in Britain?
Therefore, from the Kremlin's point of view, at least until the three wars are won and the American empire is defeated, these British guys should just let them fend for themselves!
As a result, due to the lack of humanitarian aid supplies provided by the Soviet Union, in the foreseeable future, the proud citizens of the British Empire will probably continue to enjoy a green and environmentally friendly life of eating rats and chewing tree bark every day for a while. , after months to years of bloody life of fighting each other for a bite of bread, the English countryside, which was once beautiful, elegant and infinitely beautiful, was left with corpses and smoke everywhere.
Until the remaining population on the island of Great Britain drops to the point where local food production can be self-sufficient, and at the same time, in the fierce melee, one or several strong military and political figures who can restore order will be competed, or until the Soviets completely win World War III, and there are Only after the remaining energy and motivation to intervene in the chaos in Britain can this island country gradually stabilize and regain its vitality - of course, the British Empire's heroic ambition to dominate the Seven Seas and its majestic power to overwhelm the European continent... all the glory and greatness it once had will be lost. They are all destined to pass away with the wind.

On the other side, the French happily sent an infantry division to cross the channel and land in Dover - because the port of Dover was too close to the French coast, the Soviet Union put the city on the nuclear target list. However, after the French army entered Dover easily, they immediately found themselves distressedly besieged by hundreds of thousands of hungry British people begging for food. In addition, there were a large number of hungry British refugees who crossed the English Channel and poured into France in small boats, fishing boats, rafts, and even gasoline barrels and door panels. It was like a reverse Dunkirk evacuation... …
Faced with this sudden flow of refugees, the French were caught off guard and were in disarray. Facing tens of thousands of British refugees, they could not kill, confine, or ignore them at the same time. Today, France is also on the verge of war. It is no exaggeration to describe the situation as ruins everywhere and starvation everywhere. Moreover, Paris has just suffered a US nuclear bomb. How much energy is left to rescue the people of the enemy country across the strait?
In short, many violent civil conflicts occurred on the coast of northern France in response to these British refugees who came across the sea. During this period, there were too many dark, bloody and cruel things to count. When it happened, the relevant departments could only cover up and turn a blind eye and get by.
Next, Queen Elizabeth II's unconditional surrender also aroused great repercussions among the British Expeditionary Force in the Spanish battlefield-these troops had previously retreated from the Netherlands to France, and then from France to southern Spain. Behind the scenes, Gibraltar was hit by two more atomic bombs. The local supply of arms and supplies was also cut off, and the morale of the military had already fallen to the bottom. At this time, there were steps downhill, and they all surrendered with relief.
At the same time, due to the collapse of the backing behind him, General Franco, the "leader of the Spanish reactionary regime", also reached the end of his rope. In fact, due to his previous "invitation" to the US military to nuclear bomb Madrid, his reputation in Spain has long been completely ruined. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has been criticized and many people have betrayed him - although Franco has not actually done anything This is a stupid thing that is tantamount to political suicide, but in order to shirk responsibility, the United States and Britain have no choice but to throw the blame on his head. After the British troops who supported him surrendered in large numbers, facing a completely desperate situation, Franco's Spanish troops also lost control and changed sides one after another. Citizens everywhere raised red flags to launch armed uprisings, fearing that if it was too late, a nuclear bomb would come... Helpless, Franco had no choice but to lead a small number of his direct troops, bid farewell to his motherland in tears, and retreated across the sea to the Spanish North African colony where he first started.
Then, with the liberation of Spain, Portugal, "the last capitalist bastion on the European continent", obviously became the next target of the socialist camp. Facing the legendary "Soviet Ironclad Torrent" approaching step by step, Lisbon was shocked three times a day. The workers and citizens quietly made their own red flags to prepare to welcome the new European conquerors. The rich and powerful were rushing to flee to America for a ticket to the United States or South America. He did not hesitate to bankrupt his fortune for the ticket...
Next, the British army in the east fell into chaos. The Royal Navy's Eastern Fleet withdrew the British intervention forces that invaded the Far Eastern countries, and all retreated to Singapore. From then on, they ignored everything happening around them and seemed to plan to stay on the island of Singapore. Watch the situation and wait for opportunities. All the British troops on the Indian battlefield also broke away from the front line and gradually gathered on the island of Ceylon. Many indigenous troops disintegrated and died during the retreat.
However, the British troops in Africa, whether in North Africa, West Africa, East Africa or South Africa, have a very clear attitude and unanimously pledge allegiance to the Churchill government in exile in Canada - mainly because they are short-handed and soft-spoken. The Soviet Red Army They are still quite far away, but the Yankees' navy and army are close by, and the supply of ammunition, food and pay depends entirely on the Americans. So, when Eisenhower withdrew the U.S. troops stationed in Europe from southern Italy and retreated to North Africa, he took stock of the U.S., British and other allied forces currently under his command. There were actually millions of troops in total!
With such a huge force, as well as the century-old military facilities operated by France, Britain, and Spain in North Africa, and the U.S. fleet's sea control in the Mediterranean, Eisenhower felt that he could still use the capital on hand to compete with the Soviets and successfully Deal and compete. However, it turns out that this is actually an impossible fantasy - because the old Russian guy who just turned Britain into a radioactive wasteland is still happily continuing like a naughty child who got a new toy. Use atomic bombs to "plant the sun" everywhere...
