"The bright moon shines on the dangerous rock, (author's note: July 24 is the twentieth lunar calendar, and the moon is still quite bright.) οΌ
The white waves are monstrous.
Fishing boats off the Isle of Man, (Author's note: The Isle of Man is one of the two major islands in the Irish Sea. οΌ
I can see the ...... in the ocean."
"Pickup pickup."
Our Master Yuan is a Seris cultural person, and now he sees the Irish Sea at night on the deck of the fishing boat, and he is not poetic, and immediately comes to the song "Waves and Sands - The Irish Sea".
It's a pity that his old man's poetry level can also write limerick poems like "Pay for Kang Nanhai", so he had to borrow the works of Comrade "The Most Sensitive Words Here".
As expected, it was dropped by the Master Ball system to the "Pickup Pickup".
"Here we are, here we are!" Ganon-Townsend pointed to the horizon in the distance and said excitedly, "Dr. Yuan, this is DΓΊn Laoghaire, my hometown. β
I only heard him introduce with great interest: "Dr. Yuan, our herring there is the most famous, I will treat you to eat when you get ashore......"
"Wait a minute!"
As soon as she heard about herring, Yuan Yanqian remembered the infamous canned herring.
Although he has not heard of it, he knows its name. It is said to be the most smelly food in the world, and Reese's stinky tofu is three hundred times more smelly, and can be used directly as a non-lethal weapon.
And this smell is very similar to the smell of corpses, and when it is opened in a confined space, it will definitely have the miraculous effect of "winding the beam for March".
He asked very vigilantly, "Mr. Cannon, you won't invite me to canned pickled herring, will you?" β
"Canned pickled herring?" Townsend also had a disgusted expression on his face and said, "No, no, no, that thing is only loved by Swedes, and we Irish people don't have such a heavy taste." β
Hearing this, our Master Yuan was relieved.
So when he got off the boat, he had a beautiful meal of fried herring, fried herring, fried herring, fried potatoes, fried potatoes, fried potatoes......
Well, herring in 1921 was still a fairly cheap food, usually only enjoyed by the poor in coastal areas. Later, it became high because of overfishing.
After eating this herring and potato supper, they boarded several seafood trucks in the night to the outskirts of Dublin.
The word Dublin originates from the Irish Gaelic word Dubh Linn, which means "black pond". So Dublin is the settlement next to the Black Pond.
But don't underestimate this "settlement".
The city's name first appears in the geographical manuscripts of Claudes Ptolemy, the inventor of the Geocentric Theory. The book was written in 140 AD.
In other words, at the latest in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was already a city that ancient Roman geographers needed to pay attention to.
Monday, July 25, 1927.
At dawn, Master Yuan, who smelled of herring from the inside out, finally arrived at his destination, a typical Irish farmstead.
The two also smelled like the crown prince of herring had been sent to "rest", and here he met his old concubine, Miss Lillian-Gish.
"Sorry, I knew you could do it......"
Ignoring the smell of his body, they plunged into his arms.
"Lillian, I knew you knew I could do it......"
He didn't care that it was in full view, so he had an extremely lingering LONG KISS with the "lover lady".
"Cough, cough, cough......"
This KISS is indeed a little "wave", and these two seem to be a little inseparable, and someone next to them can't help coughing.
In other words, Master Yuan can be so profligate in the conservative Catholic countryside of Ireland.
He is different now, and great writers have the privilege of waves.
And everyone present knew that it was the Seris who had brought two important men here from London.
These people thought they were joking at the time, but now that they have seen a real person, they only have a capital "suit" in their hearts.
What about a kiss?
The dog man and woman are going to open a room, and they must not make room for them.
Yuan Yanqian let go of his concubine, calmly opened his arms to his old friend and said, "Hello, my dear friend. β
Kennedy Sr. didn't mind his taste, but hugged him warmly and praised him heartily: "Neo, you are amazing!" β
Master Yuan knew that this person was also quite showy, so he deliberately said loudly: "Joseph, you are also a great hero. How could I have brought the two crown princes here without your connection? β
"Hahaha......" Hearing him say this, JFK's father was really open.
"Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Eamon de Valera. By the way, he had just become the interim president of Ireland. β
As mentioned earlier, Mr. Valera, who was also an Irish-American like Kennedy Sr., was an important player in the Irish independence movement. He is now the Interim President and President of the National University.
He was a linguist by profession, specializing in the Irish Gaelic language, and was one of the ardent supporters of this ancient language revival movement.
The middle-aged man with a small haircut, round-framed glasses, and a big hooked nose stretched out his hand very enthusiastically and said, "Dr. Yuan, it's really an honor to meet you. On behalf of the people of Ireland, I thank you for your tremendous support for our cause. β
Yuan Yanqian has dealt with many outstanding people since he crossed over, and he has long been experienced. As soon as you hear this, you know that there is something in the words.
If this is the "Irish business", what does it have to do with him as a Seris?
He smiled and shook the other person's hand, and replied without leaking, "Mr. President, please don't thank me." Because it's for our common cause. β
"Hehe......" The other party smiled a little awkwardly and introduced a few more colleagues to him.
Finally, the interim president kindly asked, "Dr. Yuan, would you like to take a rest first?" β
Our Master Yuan glanced at the concubine who was looking forward to it, and said secretly in his heart, as the saying goes, a long absence is better than a newlywed, and my "rest" must not "rest" from the sun to the sunset.
He shrugged his shoulders apologetically at Lillian, then turned his head and said, "No need, I rested on the road." Let's get down to business......"
ββ¦β¦ In short, the two crown princes are in our hands, which is of great benefit to our independent cause. Speaking of which, I still have to thank you, Dr. Yuan! β
Yuan Yanqian finally smoked his beloved Cuban cigar, but after listening to Mr. Valera's words, he did not taste so good.
This gentleman is indeed an evergreen and tumbler in Irish politics.
In 1921, he became pro tempore.
In 1932, he became Prime Minister of the Irish Free State.
When the Republic of Ireland was established in 1937, he served as the first Prime Minister and developed Ireland's new constitution.
After resigning in 1948 to pay tribute to Hitler at the German Embassy, he served as Chancellor from 1951 to 1954 and from 1957 to 1959. President since 1959. He was re-elected in 1966.
He retired in 1973, at the age of 91, and died two years later. This is extremely rare in Western democracies.
But this guy has a little less political sensitivity, otherwise how could he take the initiative to mourn the "Highness of Moderation".
What do you think is the difference between this and eating canned Swedish herring in public?
And his political stance is very radical and very "willful".
The Anglo-Irish Treaty between Collins and Churchill was supposed to be passed by a narrow majority in the Irish Provisional Parliament. However, he jumped out to support the revolt of the Irish Republican Army, starting the "Irish Civil War" that was even bloodier than the "Irish War of Independence".
Now that he has two crown princes, he is naturally more "willful".
According to him, the Irish were going to use the lives of their two Highnesses to blackmail the British government into making very important concessions. That is to allow them to form the Republic of Ireland in one step, and to allow Northern Ireland to return, and even to break away from the Commonwealth.
This is very different from Yuan Yanqian's thoughts.
Our Master Yuan raised his hand and said, "Mr. President." Can I say a few words? β
"Dr. Yuan, of course you can."
