Subtitle of this chapter: Don't duel to the prom dry hair?

……………………

Harold Alexander was born into an aristocratic family in Ireland on December 10, 1891. He also studied at Harrow School, and as a teenager he enjoyed competitive sports and the art of drawing, and aspired to become president of the Royal Society of Arts.

In 1911 he graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and joined the Irish Guard as a second lieutenant. During the war, he served as a platoon commander, company commander, battalion commander and temporary brigade commander, was wounded twice, and was gradually promoted from lieutenant to lieutenant colonel.

From 1918 to 1919 he served in the British military mission in Poland.

In 1919, he was ordered to command the Landesway Brigade to participate in the armed intervention against Soviet Russia, and in 1920 he came to the United States as a diplomatic attaché.

Of course, in the original timeline, the lieutenant colonel would become a World War II general and field marshal.

It is said that during the French campaign when the Third Reich destroyed the Anglo-French forces, he was only a major general and division commander of the 1st Infantry Division. In the "Great Retreat" of Dunkirk, he was only promoted to commander of the First Army. This pot is not yet his turn. In fact, the commander of Operation Dynamo was Bertram Ramsay, commander of Port Rendoff.

However, the Burma campaign under his overall command was really inauthentic, and the British troops defending the Mandalay Line retreated without saying a word, and burned so many supplies before leaving. When the expeditionary force retreated, he came to stir up the situation again, and ordered that he was not allowed to go to India but must return to China, so there was a great tragedy of Savage Mountain.

In this way, this is still the second general in the British Army, and he is claimed to be second only to Montgomery in command ability.

It's true that there are no heroes in the British army, and the shaft can become famous.

"Hahaha...... "I can't say it, our Master Yuan is going to look up to the sky and laugh again." This time he laughed very loudly, causing everyone nearby to focus on this Chinese. There are a few important and not so important historical figures.

"Listen to Inbras! VERY LISTEN TO THE BLOWS! I only heard Yuan Yan say in a loud voice, "An Irishman really listens to this kind of question when he asks such a question." Is this the humor of your English gentlemen? ”

That's right, the point is that this Lieutenant Colonel Alexander is actually Irish.

He spread his hands and said, "Then I must admit that you English gentlemen are the most well-known people in the world......"

"Mr. Yuan......" After this period of contact, Nomura Kichizaburo next to him knew a little about his old man's personality, and immediately took a step forward, pulled his sleeve and stopped him softly.

Master Yuan glanced back at this Japanese Navy Commander, and secretly said in his heart, to stop Lao Tzu from pretending to be forced, you are not qualified enough for this kind of coffee!

There was a gleam in his eyes, which startled the other party, and he involuntarily retracted his hand.

Yuan Yanqian turned his head and shook his sleeves and said, "Yes, by the standards of you Westerners, we Chinese are not civilized enough. We have allowed you to storm the capital, we have killed Western diplomats, we have foolishly declared war on all nations, we are still smoking Aphron, we have not been able to build a single battleship, we have not even been able to fully protect our own land......"

He was silent for a while, and then said calmly: "As an honest gentleman, I can't deny this! ”

"But......" he said as he lengthened his voice, looking around, "ladies and gentlemen. No matter how barbaric we Chinese are, we will not starve a quarter of our compatriots to death! ”

Our Master Yuan pointed at Lieutenant Colonel Alexander with his hand and said sharply: "And Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, didn't your ancestors just do that?" ”

"Hahaha......" The other party laughed angrily: "Mr. Neo-Yuan, you are slandering out of thin air." What my ancestors starved to death of my compatriots, this is complete nonsense! ”

"Slander out of thin air? Nonsense? Yuan Yanqian shook her head and said in a loud voice, "Tut...... Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, other Englishmen are fine, and a man of Irish aristocratic origin like you is either stupid or bad to say such things! ”

"If you don't understand, then I'll talk to you well......"

In fact, the Great Famine in Ireland was both a natural and a man-made disaster...... Is Mao so familiar?

"Pickup pickup!"

It is known that this famine was caused by the fact that potatoes grown in Ireland were infected with wilt. However, this is only the superficial reason, and the real reason is still ...... Land, always land.

The Irish landowners, the Irish aristocracy, also had British farmers, and used large tracts of land to grow "high-grade grains" or for grazing.

Jeremy Anderson, President of the American Economic Trends Foundation and Advisor to the President of the Council of the European Union? Jeremy Rifkin once wrote, "When Britain came under Irish rule, it made Ireland its 'pasture' in order to meet the huge demand for beef in its domestic market." In order to survive, Irish farmers have to grow potatoes on small plots of land to make ends meet."

In Ireland, six tonnes of potatoes can be produced per acre, while wheat and oats produce less than one, and these "high-grade" grains are exclusively exported to Britain. This difference cannot be ignored, especially after the enclosure movement deprived the peasants of their public land.

That's why the Irish saying goes, "A poor man's meal – except for a small potato is a big potato." ”。 There is also a saying, "There are only two things in the world that cannot be joked about, one is marriage, and the other is potatoes." ”

So, in the final analysis, the Great Famine in Ireland was a crime committed by a land monopolist. And the ancestors of Colonel Alexander, naturally, were also one of the murderers.

"Colonel Alexander, so your ancestors were also the executioners who slaughtered your compatriots!"

When our Master Yuan put down such a sentence loudly, it happened to be the end of a dance music, and his voice was so loud that at least half of the people in the dance hall could hear it clearly.

And the other party was naturally angry, if it weren't for the fact that he was a diplomatic attaché, he would have rushed over with a trace of clarity in his mind.

"Neo-Yuan, I ask you to apologize!"

Yuan Yanqian was about to speak, when someone came over to deliver the message. Cao Linsheng hurried to his side and whispered: "Brother Hongji, the two ministers have asked you to apologize quickly." ”

Master Yuan glanced at the two anxious diplomats not far away and smiled. He secretly said in his heart, to stop Lao Tzu from pretending, you guys are enough, but friendship is not enough.

What's more, Lao Tzu is not just pretending to be forced, but collecting some interest in advance for the soldiers of the expeditionary force who died on that timeline!

He also replied in a low voice: "I have my own opinion on this matter, brother. ”

Master Yuan turned around and asked Lieutenant Colonel Alexander, "Lieutenant Colonel Harold Alexander, what if I don't apologize to you?" ”

"Humph!" The other party snorted coldly and said categorically, "Mr. Neo-Yuan, if you don't apologize, then I ask to ...... with you"

"Duel!"
