The Last Covid — George Watson

The Chinese Ministry for State Security had learned from a highly placed Member of the British Parliament that the British had recently armed the Australians and New Zealanders with nuclear weapons to be used at their discretion and halt Chinese expansion.The effrontery of the westerners!Revenge on the Australians and New Zealanders would be taken in a suitable manner, at a later date, but the British were the priority and must be made to pay and pay dearly and soon!There had to be a better way, a more subtle and non-attributable way to punish them.And there was.There were five of us in our Army patrol, Porky, Little Tom, Biker Bill, Sir Peter and myself, ‘Brizzle’. We were sent all over the U.K. to battle our enemies as the dreaded Covid 69 took it’s toll.The Royal Navy and Air Force had all but been destroyed, but not without exacting a heavy price from those that would invade us whilst the supine Europeans stood back and the new U.S. government looked the other way.As Britain gradually faded away the Last Warriors of Albion would take their stand.
