“…… The above are a few reasons why Yuan Yanqian is the biggest suspect in the 723 incident. So why on earth did he do this?

In the author's opinion, this answer is unusually simple, but at the same time it seems unusually absurd.

He just wanted his "Famine Orphan Girl" to be released in Ireland.

Throughout his life, Yuan Yanqian should have suffered from histrionic personality disorder, which is characterized by over-emotionalization of personality, exaggerated words and deeds to attract attention and immature personality.

Male patients tend to present with a "sociopathic personality" with violent tendencies.

And one of Mr. Yuan's famous sayings is that secular etiquette is not designed for our generation.

He not only regarded the social customs of the time as nothing, but even despised the laws and regulations. This can be seen from the fact that an intellectual like him is proud to be a big man in Hongmen.

Not to mention these foreign objects, sometimes he doesn't even care about his own life. For example, his performance during the purge of the party in 1927.

Therefore, in order to achieve the most sensational effect of his film, Yuan Yanqian single-handedly directed the ...... of '723 Events'"

—Excerpt from Dan Brown's Angels and Demons

Our Master Yuan looked around at everyone and said solemnly: "Gentlemen, as a scholar who knows a little bit of history, I know that the Irish people have suffered from the humiliation and oppression of the British colonists......

"And at the same time, as a Chinese who was kicked open by the British colonialists, I can empathize with what happened to the Irish people in history......"

Anyone who has ever attended junior high school knows that the beginning of Seris's modern history was the First Opium War in 1840.

The beginning of modern world history was exactly 200 years ago, in 1640, with the outbreak of the English Civil War, also known as the Puritan Revolution.

Oliver Cromwell, the ancestor of the lady of Louis Cromwell Brooks, led his "New Model Army" to victory over the Loyalists.

In 1649, King Charles I of England was executed, the feudal rule of the Stuart dynasty was overthrown, and England entered the republican era. Cromwell became the "Lord Protector".

Well, that's what a junior high school history lesson is all about. In the textbooks, the next step should be to jump directly to the Glorious Revolution of 1688.

What is not taught in the textbooks, like the successful military commanders in history, Cromwell not only won the civil war, but also immediately began to use troops abroad.

It was in the year he was crowned the Lord Protector that the British version of Napoleon led his troops to conquer Ireland.

Under the iron heel of the British army, in just three years, the island of Ireland, with a population of about 1.5 million, lost 410,000 people, nearly a third of its population, due to massacres, famines, diseases, and immigration.

A large part of the reason why Cromwell is so good is that he is quite a devout Puritan, so he is not soft at all in killing Catholics.

The British not only killed but also looted, and in 1648 the Irish Catholics owned 59% of the land in Ireland, and by 1751 they had only 5% of the land in Ireland.

Of course, Cromwell himself made a fortune from it. Otherwise, how could a man like him, who came from a family of broken knights, make the Cromwells a European giant?

The Irish were also subjected to discriminatory treatment by not having the right to vote, being unable to employ more than two apprentices, not being allowed to study abroad, not being able to apply for degrees and scholarships at universities, not being allowed to hold public office, not being able to sit on jurors, being unable to be a lawyer and a teacher, not being allowed to attend Parliament, not being allowed to buy land, and even having restrictions on the value of their personal property (such as owning horses worth more than £5).

To be honest, this treatment is really not as good as the Han people in the Mengyuan and Manchu eras.

Ireland was forbidden to export goods abroad, and its industrial base (such as the once-thriving wool industry) was destroyed and it was completely reduced to an agricultural state. Worse still, this status as an agrarian nation is even subordinate.

In order to gain profits, the British even forced the Irish to change their eating habits. At that time, most of the barley, wheat, oats and other grains produced in Ireland had to be supplied to Britain, and Irish farmers could only rely on high-yielding and cheap potatoes to feed themselves.

A popular historical online article wrote a bridge in which the ancients of the Tang Dynasty were amazed when they ate potato roast beef. Isn't that nonsense, because there's beef, beef, beef.

Can boiled potatoes in water, at most with a little salt as a seasoning, be better than bread?

After the Anglo-Irish union in 1801, the British government forced Ireland to take on all the costs of the Irish uprising, as well as the military expenses "rightfully" provided by Ireland during the French Revolutionary War and the Napoleonic Wars, as unilateral debts, and Ireland's debt soared from £2.25 million to £113 million.

And in 1843, it was the historical background of "The Famine Orphans" - the day of the outbreak of the Great Famine in Ireland.

In other words, for nearly three hundred years, the Irish under British rule could not catch up with the Han subjects of our Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, the existence of radicals like Eamond de Valera in Irish politics is completely understandable, and even if he pays tribute to Hitler, it does not prevent the Irish people from electing him to continue to be prime minister and president.

"So, gentlemen. Your eagerness to become independent immediately is understandable. But ......"

However, the most important words come after the word "but".

Our Master Yuan paused, took a puff of his cigar and said leisurely, "Gentlemen, I don't think you have figured out what your independence movement relies on the most. ”

Everyone in the room looked at each other for a while, and finally it was the Interim President of Ireland who asked, "Dr. Yuan, what do you mean ......?"

"Mr. President, don't you understand what I mean? Your greatest reliance is ......"

Yuan Yanqian spat out the answer: "United States of America! ”

"Let me be clear. Although the American people have reverted to isolationism after the last European war, some of these insightful people do not think so. They also don't want to see the sun go on to go strong. It would be nice to be able to weaken England with Ireland. ”

"To tell you the truth, my operation has also received the help and acquiescence of some people of insight. You may not know that we have come to England under the sponsorship of Mr. Morgan Jr......"

Pulling a tiger skin to make a banner is his old man's specialty. And he didn't lie, they did sponsor him to come to England.

“……”

EVERYONE PRESENT WAS NATURALLY HELD BY THIS SHOCKING SECRET.

Valera's eyes widened and she asked in surprise, "Dr. Yuan, could it be that Mr. Morgan Jr. ......?"

"What little Mr. Morgan? Did I say Mr. Morgan Jr.? ”

Master Yuan's eyes also widened, and he said in some exaggeration in surprise: "How can this matter have anything to do with Mr. Morgan Jr., you must have heard it wrong." ”

"Oh......"

Everyone present showed a look of understanding.

"Okay, let's not talk about that." Yuan Yanqian changed her words and said, "This answer is more accurately said to be an Irish citizen of the United States of America. For example, Mr. President, yourself, and our Mr. Kennedy. ”

"Of course, a gentleman as noble and brave as you could devote himself to freeing the Irish from the clutches of Britain. But you also have to think about the thoughts of your compatriots on the other side of the Atlantic. ”

"Are they willing to see you negotiate with the lives of the two crown princes?"

Don't look at what the Yankees keep saying "love God, hate the British". In fact, they are very aristocratic and elegant.

Just like the hostess in "Downton Abbey" is the daughter of an American textile tycoon, many wealthy Americans have married British dilapidated aristocrats, the purpose of which is nothing more than a flashy title and those estates that have little production.

The Prince of Wales had been to the United States many times, and instead of being ignored, he was greeted with considerable enthusiasm.

Especially those school-age girls, they have the kind of "non-dividing thoughts" of a girl for him. Who wouldn't want to fly on the branches and become a phoenix like Princess Diana?

Later, an American woman named Wallis Warfield, also known as Mrs. Simpson, almost became Queen of England.

Moreover, the Seris people have a chivalrous complex of "forbidding by force". Similarly, Americans have a cowboy plot of "countering violence with violence".

In fact, people in other countries and regions will also worship the "Robin Hood" who dare to stand up to the state apparatus at some point.

Human nature is like this, and there's nothing to say about that.

Back to the "723 Incident", no matter how you look at it, this is a rather legendary criminal action, and it will be appropriate to adapt it into film and television works in the future.

In other words, our Master Yuan is already planning to make a movie. This money is earned by others, and it is better for him to earn it himself

In any case, it is a skill to be able to kidnap two crown princes in such a magical way.

The question now is that the way these two crown princes are treated will determine whether they will be the righteous "Robin Hood" or the evil "Fu Manchuria".

"Gentlemen, you will either be civilized Celtics in front of the people of the world and your fellow Americans, or you will have to play the barbaric Padraigs."

Hearing him say this, most of the people in the room looked thoughtful.

Our Master Yuan continued to increase: "Also, do you think that with the lives of the two highnesses as a threat, the British will give in? ”

"Quite the opposite!" "It's just going to make them unable to get off the stage and have to take a tougher approach." ”

Anyone with a modicum of political common sense knows that a normal country would never agree to the "political demands" put forward by Valera. Otherwise, there will be no peace in the country.

In fact, the terrorists know this, too. There has only been one successful hijacking with a political purpose in history.

It was 1968, when three members of the Palestine Liberation Front hijacked an Israeli aviation class from Rome to Tel Aviv to demand the release of PLF detainees, and after 40 days of negotiations, they got a satisfactory result, at least without going to jail.

Other than that, all political hijackings have failed. Not to mention the "Black September" of the 1972 Munich Olympics.

So Uncle bin Laden didn't send someone to hijack the plane later, but drove the plane directly into the building.

"Well...... said Kennedy Sr., touching his chin, "gentlemen, I think Neo is right." ”

He is also a successful person, although he is good at being in the limelight, but he is reluctant to be in the limelight if he is too "dirty".

As for Kennedy Sr., the big donor, Sinn Féin and the IRA still have to respect it.

Everyone in the audience looked at each other, and finally Valera opened her mouth and asked, "Dr. Yuan, what are you going to do?" ”

"Oh, I'm going to do it......"

And before he could finish his plan, the gang jumped out and objected.

"That's child's play, isn't it?"

"No! Absolutely not! ”

"Dr. Yuan, please stop kidding......"

"Hahaha......" Yuan Yanqian laughed loudly, "Are you looking at me as a joke?" ”

He turned his head to look at Lillian-Gish and said, "Baby, did you bring the film?" ”

The female star nodded and said, "Of course, it's in my room." ”

"So, have they seen it?"

This time, Ms. Ji Xu shook her head and said, "I haven't seen it yet." ”

"Can it be screened now?"

Lilian nodded again and said, "Yes." ”

"Understood."

Our Master Yuan stood up and said to everyone: "Gentlemen, before you officially veto my plan, I would like to ask you to take a look at this "Orphan Girl of Famine". ”

"Hmmm......"

Seeing the hesitation and disbelief of the crowd, he urged a little unhappily, "Please, gentlemen. ”

With that, he grabbed the female star's arm and walked out of the conference room. The others had no choice but to follow him to the temporary screening room......

"George, is your body still eating?"

"Prime Minister, thank you for your concern. After a night's rest, I was able to hold on. ”

"Winston, are you okay?"

"Prime Minister, I'm fine."

At about the same time that Master Yuan was taking people to the movies, the British Foreign Secretary and the Colonial Secretary, who had rested all night, also came to attend the Imperial Council.

The reason why this royal meeting did not end was naturally because the British finally discovered that the two royal highnesses of the crown prince had disappeared along with the kidnappers.

As a result, George Lloyd's face was still clouded when he saw that his two cabinet members were safe and sound. And the Marquis Curzon and Churchill also had the expression of a dead old man.

The British Empire's disgrace must have been lost, and the problem now is that the two crown princes have also been lost, so it is not just a matter of losing face.

"Well, since the Imperial Council has not yet begun, please tell me what you think of this matter."
