Dublin is the largest port city on the island of Ireland. It is the core area of British rule on the island of Ireland. It is the busiest port in the whole of Ireland. Every year, 40,000 to 50,000 merchant ships pass through here, accounting for one-third of the total overseas trade of the entire island of Ireland. one.
However, at that time, due to the underdeveloped lighting technology, few ships chose to unload and load cargo late at night, except for particularly urgent business. Therefore, no matter how busy the port was, it would appear unusually quiet at night.
The tallest building on the pier is the three-story British Customs House. The British flag on the roof flutters in the night wind and is faintly outlined by the gas lamp, making it look as ghostly as a spiritual flag.
*It has been a long time, but Ireland's economy has not fully recovered yet. Under the exploitation of the British, the economic recovery speed here is completely slow.
When the ragged Irishmen passed the customs building on the road, they would look at the flag with hatred, but when they looked at the bright lights at the guard post at the door and the arrogant British soldiers, they lowered their heads and accelerated their pace to avoid it.
Noisy noises came from the tavern at the port. Irish workers drank cheap beer and whiskey after a hard day's work. Those workers who had just finished the night shift were devouring potatoes in broth. There was nothing in the whole plate except a little bit of soup. Apart from the meaty taste, the rest is just mashed potatoes.
Only in the wealthy areas in the distance, where British merchants, garrison barracks, and administrative officials' residential areas can you see a hint of prosperity, where the street lights are more densely packed, and the carriages are more and more luxurious.
With the night wind and the sound of music floating over, I don't know whose house is holding a dance party.
On a lonely and ordinary night, people were repeating their past lives. No one would have thought that just after nine o'clock in the evening, under the secret cover of the underground Irish union at the dock, more than a hundred armed men had quietly lurked into the cargo at the port. Cang, at this moment the troops have been divided into two groups and are waiting for the arrival of midnight.
"Confirm the plan again. Paul, you will lead sixty soldiers and be responsible for the customs building, which has the most difficult task. The attack will start at twelve o'clock at midnight. You will only be given half an hour to attack. Can you destroy this masonry structure?" It depends on your ability to set all the buildings on fire and destroy them..."
"After the task of burning the customs building is completed, you should immediately move closer to the west. By this time, the British garrison should have already started to take action. You must hold them off for half an hour before you can retreat..."
Paul looked at the scrawled map and nodded, "Although the battle here will be more intense than yours, in fact you need more manpower. I don't bring sixty people, just give me forty people, as long as you give me enough... …”
"You are responsible for burning the exported grain in the entire container area. This area is really too big. With more than 40 people, you simply don't have enough! 120 tons of wheat, 200 tons of potatoes, and more than 30 tons of bacon, barbecue, sausages, and cured meats. Meat products, thousands of cattle, sheep, pigs and other live livestock..."
"Almost half of the warehouse area needs you to destroy it. It will definitely not work without fewer manpower!"
Pierre shook his head, "Not necessarily! I have a heavy workload here, but it doesn't require too much fighting. Plus there are more than 20 comrades from the union helping me, so it should be about the same..."
"Besides, we are in Ireland after all. Once chaos breaks out, I don't believe that no one will take advantage of the chaos to help us..."
Pierre was surrounded by several locals wearing dirty and worn-out suits. These were the leaders of illegal unions recognized by the British government. Just by looking at the clothes they were wearing, you could imagine what life they had been like over the years.
The leader, White, is a well-known crane repairman in the port. He is fondly touching a semi-old revolver that Pierre just gave him. He likes it as much as touching his own lifeblood.
Hearing Pierre mention them, White quickly stuffed his pistol into his pocket. "Please rest assured, sir, as long as we start taking action, our union personnel will definitely be able to spread the word in all Irish areas... However, I have a little question, why?" Instead of directly promoting the name of our union, what if we have to promote the name of the party that has been suppressed?"
"You don't understand..." Pierre sneered, "The Young Ireland Party is the most recent uprising in recent times. Although it failed, the people have not forgotten them. Those brave young people are still loved by the people!"
"I'm not saying that your union has no contribution, nor am I doubting your prestige in the hearts of the Irish, but after all, you are only a union within the circle of dock workers, and it is difficult for your influence to extend to the entire island of Ireland!"
"And these young people who have died have different names. If we attack the British in the name of the Young Ireland Party, we will definitely get the support of more people..."
"Haha... I have never believed that this radical party will disappear. I am sure that those successors are dormant among the people in other identities. They must know that we are looking for them..."
"It's just because they are too suspicious, so they refuse to contact us... As long as we act first and let them see the flames of revenge burning, I believe these young people will never sit idly by!"
"So Paul, you still have to take away most of the soldiers... I don't have enough manpower for the time being, but I am sure that at the most critical moment, someone will definitely come to help me!"
"Okay, now that you have decided, let's do it! We will start taking action at twelve o'clock and start leaving the battlefield at one o'clock. The ships at sea can only wait until two o'clock... If someone cannot escape by then, I think you know what to do. what to do!"
The silent mercenaries did not raise their heads, but quietly wiped their weapons. The North African soldier holding a dog-head knife glanced at Paul and said lightly, "You are paying for your life, then we have it." Our professionalism requires us to work hard for money, and it is our fate to be trapped in the enemy's lines...the only option is to fight to the death!"
"Don't worry, the British will not be left alive!"
Pierre looked at the more than a hundred silent mercenaries, and suddenly his heart moved. He took out a notebook from his pocket, "Gentlemen, thank you for having such a consciousness. We have paid for our lives, and you have to give us your money." life, this business is fair and reasonable!”
"But... we also have unique benefits for you. I will start recording them now. If there is anyone you care about in this world, please tell me their name and address..."
"I swear to God, once you die in the battle, the foundation will launch a rescue operation. Those people you care about, we will give them a future, with food and clothing, and children with education!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the calm mercenaries raised their heads. They could not believe their ears. This operation was highly confidential and dangerous. In order not to give the British evidence and excuses, all the retired Prussian veterans Useless.
More than a hundred people are all vicious mercenaries, killers, and traitors. Some of them are even on the wanted lists of three or four countries.
These are all desperadoes who simply ignore their own life and death for money. It doesn't matter how dangerous the mission you give them, but you can't bargain with their price.
No matter how many gold coins you spend, you can get back as much loyalty. These people even have a purer contract spirit than businessmen.
