Chapter 500: There is no follow-up referendum

The third more

However, the most unexpected situation for Salmond happened, after the referendum bill was submitted, the British government unilaterally announced that there was a problem at the time of the establishment of the Scottish Parliament, so that the referendum bill that was supposed to be passed was instantly revoked, that is, all the preparations made by Salmond before were offset by a word from the central government. To add insult to injury, when the Scottish Parliament was abolished, Dravielle, an oil tycoon in the North Sea fields, also called to announce the withdrawal of funding for the Scottish National Party, which was another blow to Salmond.

This is a great disgrace for Salmond, and indeed for Scotland as a whole. Prime Minister John Major's move was seen as a stumbling block to Scottish national independence. The Scottish Independence Party (SCP) has publicly declared that it will fight for the independence of the Scottish nation to the end.

Although it was still overcast and snowing, it could not stop the enthusiasm of the Scottish people. Salmond stood on Parliament Square east of the intersection of Bank Street and George IV Bridge, the snow falling on his shoulders and not melting, but the cold could not stop the Scottish people from fighting for independence, and they vowed to fight this war to the end, for Scottish independence to the end, and never compromise.

Salmond stood on the podium and looked around, the eyes of the people in the audience were fanatical, they wanted to be able to unite all the Scottish people until they were taught how to be human by bullets and armored vehicles, and in their opinion, it was time for everyone to put aside their internal struggles and fight for independence.

"I'm standing here today for the same reason you're here. The weather can't dissolve our anger, our roar can't stop our future, even if the dictators will turn their guns on us! Salmond shook his fist and his body language during his speech was vividly expressed, "But we will never be afraid, freedom will eventually lead the Scottish people to independence and victory!" Victory is ours! Belong to the people of Scotland! ”

"Victory is ours alone, long live Scotland!"

"Long live independence!"

The audience erupted in applause, and there were already people shouting slogans along with Salmond, nationalists who could do anything for the sake of Scottish independence. Salmond was very pleased with this effect, which showed that the people had been instigated, and that if they were instigated to start a riot, Salmond's plan for independence would be partially realized, in order to force the British government to make concessions. Although he preferred to negotiate modestly in exchange for Scottish independence.

"Now let's stand up and protest in the streets, protest at the Capitol. Let the UK Government know that the will of the Scottish people cannot be violated. Let the bureaucrats of Downing Street know the power of our Scottish people. Now let's pick up the slogan and start from Parliament Square, so that our rage, our rage, can be felt throughout the UK! ”

Salmond's radical slogans stirred up the emotions of all the spectators, and Salmond's approach to seeing the excitement was not a big deal compared to the restraint advocated by the Scottish Labour Party was ready to turn the demonstration into a mass riot. This put pressure on the British government to get more rights.

There was a dense crowd of people in the audience, and the procession began. Holding banners of Scottish independence, they marched from south to north on the streets. The march was a mix of Scottish ultra-nationalists, who also tried to undermine the British government's methods of rule and express their political demands.

At this time, the riot police with shields were already waiting at the other end of the street, except for some people equipped with tear gas and riot guns, the others were armed with batons. They will definitely not let the parade go one step further.

The weather was cold, but it could not extinguish the enthusiasm of the Scottish independents, and when they saw the police standing in front of them, their anger exploded instantly, and the Scottish people shouting independence slogans hurled insults at the riot police, picked up stones from the side of the road and threw them at them, and even prepared burn-burn-flasks from their backpacks, ready to respond to the attack of the Scottish police.

The crowd shouted a word for Scottish independence, and the procession began to rush forward against the police as they tried to break through the iron wall that prevented them from becoming independent and welcoming the independence and rebirth of Scotland. They took all the bottles, iron rods, bricks, everything they could use, in order to deal with the blast police.

A bloody conflict began.

Violence is gradually escalating.

At this time, the commander of the riot police waved his hand and began to move towards the rioting crowd, they wanted to nip this riot in the bud, in other words, it was time for these people to get out of here. The flask smashed to the ground, and the flames splashed onto the riot police's clothes, and the flames began to consume the person closest to them, and they were drawn into a burning hell.

The clearing was more bloody and brutal than ever, and the batons of the blast police smashed on the heads of the marchers, and many people were smashed to the head and bled out. The riot gun shot at the crowd, and the person who was hit fell to the ground in pain, and the tear gas made the demonstrators wipe their tears and evacuate backwards.

And the person who started it all just listened to the sirens sounding throughout Edinburgh, and watched the shaky and fiery footage of the reporters on the TV news, and did not speak for a long time.

Salmond turned off the television and did not consider forcing the British government to compromise by retreating from the road in public until the British government had issued a notice to properly resolve the issue.

In his opinion, the demonstrations were spontaneous and had nothing to do with the Scottish National Party, and he just wanted to use this demonstration to put pressure on the British government to change its position and attitude and consider whether the referendum bill should be passed.

However, Salmond apparently did not know that there was another side hidden in this incident, and was ready to completely fail Salmond's plan to blackmail the British government and pull him into an irreparable abyss.

The KGB had long prepared a gift for them, and that gift was to provide Scottish ultranationalists with a force guarantee for the riots. Let the conflict across Scotland be as extreme as the Northern Irish Republican Army.

And at this time, the whole of Scotland began to fall into a state of panic. (To be continued.) )
