"Joseph, but that's after the premiere. Let's get the premiere right first. β
Our Master Yuan instructed: "It's inconvenient for me to come forward, please leave all this to you." β
"Neo, leave it to me."
Tuesday, July 26, 1921 at noon.
British Garrison Command, Dublin, Ireland.
He was greeted by the current commander of the British Forces in Ireland, 1st Baron, Lieutenant General of the Order of the Garter, Lieutenant General Cecil Frederick Nevil Macready, 1st Baronet, GCMG, 1862-1946.
That's right, he's the poor backstabber, Sir Holmwood's predecessor, and his boss is still a nobleman.
The Baron McCready promoted Sir Halwood to the post of Metropolitan Police Commissioner last year.
Unexpectedly, this promotion hurt his proud subordinates.
Of course, the culprit is our Master Yuan, who has not done enough to harm Baron McCready.
This baron lieutenant general is still very energetic, although his hair is a little less, but his eyes are bright, his appearance is handsome, and he is dressed in a gorgeous military uniform and medals, and he looks like a thing when he stands.
But he is also secretly complaining in his heart.
Ireland is his jurisdiction, how could he not eat the head of the row when such a thing happened?
It's just a matter of eating at the top of the row, after all, this matter has nothing to do with him directly.
But now the two crown princes should be in Ireland, and this matter is known not only to the British, but also to the Irish.
It's even more lively now. Not to mention searching for the two highnesses, he didn't even have enough troops to suppress the Irish.
Now there are three big shots......
Just as he was thinking nonsense, several cars drove into the headquarters and came in front of him.
The first one was none other than a member of the British royal family, the Duke of Edinburgh, who married a Russian princess, and George V's cousin and father-in-law. (Author's note: The title was revoked after his death, and it was not until after ****** marriage that it was conferred on her royal husband, who later became Prince Philip.) οΌ
George V had no brothers, and the future George VI, the younger brother of the Prince of Wales, was still young, so he had to send the veteran out of the army.
The second is Hirohito's "uncle", King Minoru Higashikure.
It's impossible not to come, and it's useless to persuade anyone.
And in third place was Winston Churchill with a cigar in his mouth.
No way, since it has something to do with Ireland, the Minister of Colonial Affairs has to take the blame.
The three of them all had gloomy faces, which made the already depressing atmosphere of the scene suddenly become even more uncomfortable.
Lieutenant General McCready had no choice but to step forward and say, "Welcome to Ireland, Lord Duke......"
"Welcome, Your Excellency."
"Hello, Lord Churchill."
As a big man in a high position, basic etiquette is still required.
However, when the four of them entered the conference room of the headquarters, the Duke of Edinburgh asked sharply, "Lieutenant General, what is the situation now?" β
What's the situation?
Baron McCradia didn't know what the situation was, and just when he was about to make an official statement in desperation, someone came to the rescue.
"Report, Lieutenant General."
"What's the matter?"
"There are people out there who claim to be emissaries from the Irish side."
"Oh......"
The eyes of the four people present all lit up, and His Excellency the Lieutenant General immediately ordered: "Bring people in quickly!" β
"Hey, why don't you go quickly?"
"Lieutenant General, the messenger also brought a bunch of reporters."
"And the reporters?!"
Baron McCready looked at the three "masters" who were silent, and changed his words: "Then invite people in, and the reporters will stay outside first." β
βYesοΌSirγβ
In a short time, the "messenger" entered the conference room in high spirits.
No need to ask, he is Mr. Joseph Patrick Kennedy.
JFK's father felt that this moment was the highlight of his life, and his heart was so open that his steps were fluttering.
Think about it, he, an American banker of Irish descent, has now become an intermediary between the British and the Irish, and it is a matter of minutes for him to become famous all over the world.
Of course, he was the one who called the reporters.
That Chinese is indeed righteous enough to help himself win such an opportunity to show his face.
In this way, in the future, not only the Minister of Finance, but even the Secretary of State may be able to be the Secretary.
Not to mention, Kennedy Sr. had always had a great interest in politics.
When he later made a big contribution to Roosevelt's campaign, he actually wanted to be secretary of the Treasury. However, FDR's election only allowed him to serve as chairman of the newly created Securities Regulatory Commission.
In 1937, he was appointed ambassador to the United Kingdom. This was something that was previously unthinkable for a descendant of Irish Catholics.
As soon as Kennedy Sr. entered the conference room and saw these four people, he immediately recognized them, and his feet couldn't help but soften.
Although his own background is not small, how can he compare...... At least not as good as the Duke of Edinburgh.
Fortunately, he immediately remembered the advice of Seris's good friend: "Joseph, don't be afraid. You're an American celebrity, and the British can't do anything to you. β
Although American citizens are not popular in these years, and there is no written on the passport, no matter where you are, the U.S. government and military are your strong backing.
But he is a well-known banker, not to mention that he is followed by a group of reporters, and the British will definitely be afraid of it.
"On the other hand, you represent the four and a half million people of Ireland and are making legitimate demands, so please don't be too ...... You know. β
"Remember, you're just going to disgust people!"
"For the sake of your ancestors, for the sake of your fellow citizens, and for your own sake, please try to disgust them."
Now JFK and his father admire our Master Yuan very much, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he obeys his words.
Of course, he didn't expect his good friend to take a "hypnotic" for himself.
He immediately straightened his waist and nodded slightly to the four of them, "Gentlemen, please allow me to introduce myself......"
"So you're American?"
Hearing this question, Kennedy Sr. said in an arrogant tone: "I am an Irish-American. β
"Hmmm......"
The Britons in the audience were all choked up, and finally the Duke of Edinburgh asked, "Well, Mr. Kennedy, what news have you brought?" β
"Whoa......
JFK's father took out a piece of paper from the inside pocket of his suit and said, "That's us...... Well, the whole request from the Irish side. β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Except for a small Japan, all of these four scolded their mothers in their hearts after reading the terms on this piece of paper.
The situation in Ireland is even more difficult.
These people haven't watched "Famine Orphan Girl" yet, so they don't know that it's not "more difficult", but "more ...... make it difficult".
They exchanged glances, and Sir McCready took the lead and said, "Mr. Kennedy, some of the terms above ......"
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Lieutenant General." JFK's father said with a gloomy face, "I only brought back one word on this trip, and that is YES or NO." β
Winston-Churchill had no choice but to smile and say, "Mr. Kennedy, is there no room for negotiation between us at all?" β
"Hehe...... "The envoy who is getting into the role more and more sneered, "Your Excellency, did we have a little room for negotiation before?" β
"You ......"
βEnoughοΌβ The Duke of Edinburgh raised his hand to stop the others from scolding, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, we agree to your request." But we need to meet the two Highnesses first to make sure they are safe and sound. β
"Of course." Kennedy Sr. said triumphantly, "Rest assured, we Irishmen are civilized people, and unlike some barbarians, we will not 'easily' harm our captives!" β
Well, now he may no longer be able to be an ambassador to the UK, but he can be an ambassador to Germany.
