Churchill was absolutely livid. He delivered a shockingly violent speech over the talkiebox and told everyone to go inside their homes immediately or risk being "put down." Churchill was known to follow through on threats, so many cooperated. Then, Churchill, Eden, and other high-ranking officials announced the abolishing of all future elections (including one scheduled that for later that year) and gave Churchill vast emergency powers. Officials deemed "unnecessary" were imprisoned and their powers passed to Churchill and Eden. State Security thugs started tapping into phone lines and spying on citizens much more frequently. Churchill warned the citizens, especially the Welsh, that they had no reasonable expectation to privacy during a time of war and civil unrest. Guards in full combat uniforms were stationed on every street. High-tech new cameras watched pedestrians' every move. The English police state had finally arrived.
Churchill powers at this point were almost godlike. Every word that came out of his mouth was law. Order was established immediately. Speaking Welsh was banned, and all Welsh road signs were replaced with English versions. Welsh government officials who had voted to join England peacefully years before feared for their lives. One, Jonathan Jones, former Welsh Minister of Diplomacy, was found hanged from a tree in his front yard. Whether it was murder or suicide was never known.
Things calmed down quite bit after Churchill's junta. But on November 5th, 1956, Welsh terrorists dropped small brown cardboard packages filled with anthrax (likely supplied by the Irish Royal Biowarfare Agency) all over England, including one at the London subway station. When they exploded, anthrax spores went everywhere. Over 800 people died immediately or soon after, and another 50 died later on. Simultaneously, Welsh members of the Red Dragon, the same group that assassinated Wayland Wilson, opened fire throughout London on government buildings. As SS head Anthony Eden's limousine tried to speed away from the Parliament Building during the outbreak of the shooting, a terrorist using an Irish-manufactured snipe rifle fired a shot directly through the back window of the vehicle and into Eden's head.
That was the last straw. Churchill ordered thousands of Welsh to concentration camps. Guns around the nation were confiscated, and firearm ownership was declared illegal. Wales was finally on the breaking point. Mobs waving the old Welsh flag rallied in Cardiff with Red Dragon members, anarchists, and radical socialists. Together, they overthrew the local military post, killing 570 soldiers and taking their weapons and supplies. Horse-mounted police went out in the streets but turned around and joined the revolution. Portraits of Churchill, Eden, Steele, and Greer were burned in enormous bonfires. Cars packed the streets, honking their horns and waving homemade flags out the windows. AFC missionaries were arrested and then shot by firing squad.

Welsh leaders immediately requested help from the League of Nations. The Tripartite Empire didn't like dealing with anarchists, but they saw that this was an opportunity not to be missed. On November 6th, 1956, Caesar Napoleon VI took to the airwaves of Europe to address the situation.
"Free Peoples of Europe. My friends. My countrymen. The People of Wales have unanimously rejected their tyrannical, oppressive, murdering English overlord. Yesterday, at approximately 12 noon, the city of Cardiff overthrew its government and proclaimed a republic. The local authorities have joined them, and the English military personnel stationed in the city have been killed or captured. This is a great moment in the history of the British Isles, of Europe, and indeed, of the world. After consulting with my generals and advisers, I have approved a plan to send Imperial soldiers into Wales to assist in its liberation and the safekeeping of its newly-regained independence. About twenty minutes ago, Spanish paratroopers touched down on the Welsh capital and along the border. We have also deployed Imperial marines to take back the nearby Isle of Man. If we succeed in this endeavor, we shall give Churchill's despotic tyranny a massive blow that could take them out of the world war. May God bless us in this mission, and may God bless the people of Wales who are at this moment struggling for their own very survival. Vive Pays de Galles! Vive la Révolution Gallois!"
NapoleonVI was by no means exaggerating. Imperial soldiers were indeed gaining footholds in Wales as he spoke. The normally impregnable beach defenses in Wales were being attacked by revolutionaries from behind. Situations couldn't have been better for Imperial troops coming in. Within 24 hours, Imperial landships were arriving and the overstretched, overwhelmed English Army, the same army that was still enduring horrific casualties in Ireland, was cracking and running back to English soil. On November 21st, Wales was admitted as a member-state of the League of Nations. As 1956 came to an end, arrangements were being made for their first democratic elections. Moderate Welshmen were concerned about the Red Dragons' growing power, however. The Dragons were the ones who had resorted to terror tactics and murder. A new coalition of anarchists and socialists were determined to keep them from gaining power...
