Working as a police officer in Mexico-Chapter 1844 - 802: England’s Spring Is Beautiful! (Part 2)
Capítulo 1844: Chapter 802: England’s Spring Is Beautiful! (Part 2)
“The average waiting time for surgery in the National Health Service increased from 6 weeks in 1990 to 14 weeks now. After the railway privatization, ticket prices rose by 37%, and punctuality rates dropped to 81%. The London Underground went on strike seven times last year.”
“Royal Family expenditures?”
Casare smiled: “After Charles was hospitalized, the Royal Family announced his medical expense budget—twenty thousand British Pounds per week, including a private doctor, exclusive ward, and ‘rehabilitation environment maintenance.’ Meanwhile, the government announced cuts to disability benefits, saving three hundred million British Pounds annually.”
Victor nodded, walked back to the table, and gently tapped the tabletop:
“So, an average English person sees: soaring prices, hard-to-find jobs, long waiting times for medical treatment, delayed trains, the Royal Family enjoying taxpayer money in the hospital, while the government slashes disability benefits. Meanwhile, their sons, husbands, brothers are sent to Scotland, risking death by RPGs, to suppress a group demanding independence—who might even be their distant cousins.”
He glanced around the room: “Tell me, is this kind of country truly a united front internally?”
Silence.
Bennett took a deep breath: “Leader, your point is…”
“The flames of Scotland can burn strongly, but ultimately it’s on the frontier.”
Victor slowly said, “To shake the foundations of the Empire, the fire must burn in the Heartland. London, Birmingham, Manchester… if people in these places also start taking to the streets, demanding not just ‘Support Scotland,’ but ‘bread, jobs, dignity,’ even ‘abolish the Royal Family, restructure the government’…”
He paused, looking at Bennett:
“Has your Intelligence Bureau ever conducted an analysis? If we want to incite a movement… akin to a ‘color revolution’ in England, how should we go about it?”
The room was quiet enough to hear the airflow from the ventilation system.
Bennett swallowed, pulled out a black-covered folder from the bottom of a pile of documents. The folder was thick, and the cover was printed with white letters:
[Contingency Plan E-7: “England Spring” Phased Subversion Analysis]
“In fact, since the Diana incident, the analysis department has been conducting relevant research.”
Bennett opened the folder, the first page was a summary, “Based on analyzing Eastern European upheavals, the Soviet Union disintegration cases, combined with current social contradictions in the United Kingdom, we have drafted a seven-stage plan.”
He pushed the folder towards Victor.
Victor opened it and skimmed through quickly.
Phase One: Preparing Public Opinion (4-6 weeks)
By acquiring/infiltrating local British newspapers and radios, systematically report livelihood difficulties, highlight the narrative of “institutional failure.”
Fund academic institutions to publish research reports, argue “Monarchy is outdated,” “The House of Lords is undemocratic,” “Centralization damages local autonomy.”
Cultivate “public intellectuals” on early internet forums (BBS, Usenet) to guide discussion.
Phase Two: Creating and Spreading Symbols (2-3 weeks)
Design easily spread visual symbols (like ribbons of specific colors, gestures, slogans).
Create protest songs, street graffiti templates, lists of demonstration slogans.
Spread through underground printing networks and pirate radio stations.
Phase Three: Grassroots Organization (3-4 weeks)
Identify and contact existing protest groups (environmental, anti-war, radical unions).
Provide small funding, communication devices, legal advice.
Train nonviolent protest techniques and media response strategies.
Phase Four: Trigger Event Creation (timing sensitive)
Choose a specific case of injustice (such as a disabled person committing suicide due to benefit cuts, an elderly person dying while waiting in the hospital).
Amplify through media, portraying it as “a symbol of institutional evil.”
Organize the first street memorial/protest activity.
Phase Five: Escalation and Spread (2-3 weeks)
Organize demonstrations simultaneously in multiple cities, upgrading slogans from specific demands to questioning the system (“It’s not a policy mistake, it’s a systemic failure”).
Train “frontline reporters” to use cameras to record police’s excessive law enforcement scenes, supply to international media.
Persuade some mid-level and low-level civil servants, police, teachers to speak publicly.
Phase Six: Creating Legitimacy Crisis (3-4 weeks)
Promote concepts of parallel authority institutions like “Citizens’ Assembly.”
Expose scandals of politicians, Royal Family’s lavish consumption, internal government documents.
Call for military/police to “stand on the side of the people.”
Phase Seven: System Restructuring Pressure (open-ended)
Propose specific political reform plans (abolishing the House of Lords, nationalizing Royal Family assets, restructuring into a Federation).
International community pressure, demanding “Respect the people’s will.”
Final Goal: Force the United Kingdom to initiate constitutional reform referendum, or in continuous turbulence exhaust national power and lose international intervention capability.
Victor turned page after page, examining carefully. Each measure was followed by specific implementation methods, required resources, and risk assessments.
Upon reaching the last page, he stopped.
That page was blank, with only a small handwritten line at the bottom:
“All revolutions fundamentally erupt from internal causes!!”
Victor closed the folder, looked up at Bennett:
“Who from the analysis department wrote this last sentence?”
“Director, Doctor Maria Sanchez. Cambridge University political science PhD, returned home in 1992.” Bennett added, “Her father was a veteran from Tijuana.”
Victor nodded, his fingers rubbing the black cover of the folder:
“Seven phases… How long is needed?”
“If resources are sufficient and the external environment cooperates, large-scale street movements can be seen in six months. But to truly shake the system, it could take one to two years.” Bennett cautiously said, “The United Kingdom, after all, is not Eastern Europe; its civic society is mature, police and intelligence agencies have experience, and the Royal Family still has considerable public support.”
