The cause of Irish independence has never stopped in the six to seven hundred years since the invasion of England. In the Cold War Age of the Middle Ages, the Irish still had some degree of autonomy, because wars in that era could create miracles with sheer bravery.
In the head-on confrontation with the British, the Irish could still guarantee several successful counterattacks, so by that time England had nominally occupied the island of Ireland and declared sovereignty over Europe, but in fact the Irish still did not recognize the British. of dominance.
Moreover, sectarian conflicts were very serious at that time. The Irish, who believed in Catholicism, and the English, who mainly believed in Protestantism, were completely different from each other. There was no possibility of peace talks between the two sides.
After hundreds of years of tug-of-war, as Britain gradually improved its national power, especially its technological level, the Irish gradually fell behind. Especially in the age of firearms, the natives who were blocked on the island of Ireland gradually broke away. The trend of the times.
The gap in strength between the two sides grew wider and wider, and it was not until Cromwell's conquest that the Irish became completely proletarian. Nearly 90% of the land was lost, all industrial bases were lost, and all ports and external contacts were blocked.
From then on, the Irish resistance was forced underground and carried out secretly.
However, the tide of the times never shows mercy to a certain nation's cry. No matter how just the demands of the Irish are, Britain's national destiny has finally caught up with the first industrial revolution, and the empire on which the sun never sets completely dominates the world. .
The Irish know very well that the difference in national strength is not just a tiny bit, but an astronomical amount. I am afraid that Ireland’s independence cause will really be difficult to achieve.
It’s not that they haven’t thought about being obedient citizens. Indeed, a large number of Irish people have the illusion that as long as they are obedient, they can integrate into the British system.
But they were wrong. A disaster completely shattered their illusions, that is, the natural and man-made disaster that killed millions of people and made the Irish people completely sober.
The British just want their entire nation to die completely and disappear completely. In the eyes of the British, the Irish are really worse than a dog.
After the disillusionment, the entire Irish elite took collective action. Almost all Irish people with a certain education, especially the youth, launched uprisings one after another in order to survive during the famine.
After all, they are all elites, and they are very smart. They did not choose to directly shout the slogan of independence. Instead, they attacked British customs and ports and attempted to ban food exports.
They thought that this kind of turmoil caused by the right to exist would eventually be properly resolved by the British. However, they never expected that the British would show no mercy at all, and the Young Ireland Party would be suppressed even more brutally.
It is impossible to count how many passionate young people died in that uprising, and it is impossible for the British official to publish these embarrassing statistics.
Since then, the Irish have understood that their independence plan cannot be completed by themselves. They must wait for the great changes of the times and the day when Britain declines.
So when the Foundation offered them an olive branch, their first thought was that it was fake. Even more than half of the senior leaders of Al-Shabaab believed that this was a fishing ploy by the British intelligence agency.
These core members of the Al-Shabaab even refused to meet Paul Pierre and the others. Except for the peripheral smuggler who had some contact with Paul, there was no news.
We can't blame these Irish people for being timid and fearful. They have indeed seen too much blood of their own people. They have suppressed them time and time again. The British have never shown mercy when they massacred the Irish.
The little bit of energy that the Irish had managed to save with such difficulty could not be defeated again.
But Max and the others never expected that this group of conspirators who didn't know where they came from could be so insidious. They knew that they had rejected the plan and actually started this uprising under the banner of the Young Ireland Party.
Isn’t this sincerely letting them take the blame? In anger, the Al-Shabaab sent the sharp-tongued Max to meet these despicable guys, but he did not expect that the person he met was actually a Chinese.
Holding a pistol in his hand, Max, escorted by countless brave Irishmen, quickly made his way to the customs building on the pier, defeating countless waves of English militia along the way.
As he ran, he recalled everything the Chinese said. He had to say that the plan was so tempting, and the gifts also impressed all the leaders of the Al-Shabaab.
"Use war to promote peace, make full use of partisan conflicts in the UK, and first seek partial autonomy..."
"Seek autonomy first, then seek independence; show obedience to the people on the outside, but retain strength internally; if you have been dormant for a hundred years, there will be opportunities!"
"Seize the historical opportunity of Gladstone as a moderate, and first fight for the Irish people's right to education and the right to form local parliaments. This is the right way to accumulate strength..."
"Damn it, what we did before was not to accumulate strength, but to hide blindly!"
"The terrible Chinese people, the terrible Eastern head of state, what kind of brain can come up with such a plan, what kind of power does he have, and can he carry out the plan?"
"It's like meeting that person! He seems to be born to be a subversive. Otherwise, how could he come up with such a plan that is both relevant to the current situation and capable of execution?"
Max still remembered the scene when he carried the arms to meet other senior officials. When those people saw the generous gifts from the Chinese, the greed in their eyes could not be deceived at all.
But when Max told these senior officials about Xiao Letian's plan, his greedy eyes suddenly turned into shock and fear!
They are not fools. These people are the essence of the entire Irish community. They can understand Xiao Letian's plan. If you think about it carefully, the feasibility is indeed very high.
The Irish also had their own sources of intelligence, and those who sympathized with them in London often brought them all kinds of latest or secret intelligence.
It is no secret that Gladstone, the leader of the Liberal Party, attacked Benjamin's colonial policies more than once, especially his repressive rule of Ireland.
If Gladstone came to power, he might really be able to remove the noose from the necks of the Irish people. Even ten or twenty years of breathing space would be enough for the entire Irish community to cultivate two or three generations of outstanding talents.
This is the correct way to hibernate. Hibernation must be able to accumulate strength. In the past, the hibernation was called bullshit, which made the British confused, stupid, and scared!
Thinking of this, Max couldn't help but quicken his pace, "Quickly... attack... destroy the British guys blocking the way, and entangle the main British force at all costs!"
"Quick, quick... our allies need us to save them!"
