War is brutal!

If you haven't been to Dublin, you don't know how cruel war can be!

In Europe at the end of 1862, there was a saying that from August to December, for four months, although it was not the longest offensive and defensive battle in European history, the whole of Europe knew about this battle, and the whole of Europe was watching this battle.

Of course, people are not interested in this battle because of how important it is, but because London is talking about this battle, about this protracted battle with heavy casualties.

For the politicians of London, in the year following the outbreak of the war, they had scarcely any victories to talk about, Queen Victoria was watching the war, the British subjects were watching the war, and the whole of Europe was watching the war.

In order to satisfy the people, to be precise, to maintain the honour of Britain, what in the mouths of the politicians of London would have turned into an epic battle in the mouths of even a distant colony.

In order to convince the people of Britain that Britain was still fighting, they would use all the flowery words to describe and praise those battles, in which the brave British warriors fought bravely and tenaciously against the brutal enemy.

In a word, Britain needs victory, and it needs victory to lift the hearts of the people and convince the countries of Europe that Britain is unchallengeable!

However, all this could not hide their retreat in Ireland, and at this time, a sudden news excited the politicians in London - Dublin! The British army held Dublin!

Not only held there, but also inflicted heavy losses on the Irish, as well as the Chinese, well, it should be said that the Sino-Irish coalition army! The whole of Dublin has been turned into a slaughterhouse for the Sino-Irish coalition!

The politicians saw from the telegrams sent by the British command of the Earl of Cardigan in Dublin and the journalists there that the battle of Dublin took place, and they saw a massacre, and they also saw victory, and victory, which was exactly what they needed.

In England, the fighting that took place in Ireland was well known to everyone. In the propaganda of the British government, the brutal Chinese colluded with the Irish, and the Irish were driven by them to join the cause of rebellion against Britain. In fact, it doesn't seem to be very different from this, and the Irish do it.

To the dismay of the British, although they could still see victory in the early days, and they believed that the rebellion that occurred there would soon be put down, everything that followed fell through their glasses, and the Chinese not only gained a foothold in Ireland, but the Irish rebels became stronger and stronger, and even the British army was defeated in the battle.

All this is completely beyond the imagination of the British, questioning, questioning, and in the end all of this makes the situation of the cabinet government precarious, and even people have begun to question whether the government can lead the British to victory.

It was at this time that the victory in Dublin came!

Under the attack of the Sino-Irish coalition forces, the defenders of Dublin not only held the city, but also inflicted heavy losses on the enemy army, annihilating tens of thousands of enemies! This can be an unprecedented victory!

Such a victory, naturally, had to be publicized, and it was exactly the victory that the government needed, and the victory that Britain desired! However, in publicizing this victory, in order to achieve a better literary effect, or in other words, to make the battle look more spectacular and epic, they added a little more material to the details, gave full play to their imagination, and used a little more ornate words, so as to give full play to the literary role of English, and as a result, the Battle of Dublin was written by them as a magnificent war poem like the Battle of Troy in Homer's epic.

No, it should be said that it is a war epic like the three hundred warriors of Sparta under the Hot Springs!

In their writings, the Chinese and the Irish Republican Army became a group of devilish servants, who signed a contract with the devil, like the undead army under Darius, and the British soldiers guarding Dublin became the three hundred Spartan warriors, who, no, under the brave British general Earl Cardigan, guarded Dublin, guarded British cities, and fought for British honor.

The war was presented in front of people in a shocking epic, and under the embellishment of literary scholars, this war epic shocked the whole of Britain, and the whole of Europe, the whole world, almost everyone was stunned by the battle that took place in Dublin, people never thought that war could be so cruel, and likewise never thought that war could be so great!

For a time, Dublin became synonymous with epic poetry, and also became a symbol of Britain's triumph and tenacity.

And among all the propagandists, Palmston, who was the British Prime Minister, worked hardest, in order to cover up the several fatal mistakes he made after the outbreak of the war, and also to shirk it, he exaggerated the strength of the Chinese army.

In his speech to the House of Lords, he listed China as the most dangerous and vicious enemy Britain has faced for centuries, and of course, he did not deny China, but constantly exaggerated China.

In his description, the Chinese army had the world's best weapons and, of course, tens of millions of "savage and soulless" soldiers, led by uneducated generals, who did not allow casualties to attack the British.

In his speech, he gave full play to his talents in speech, and finally, he convinced everyone that China is powerful, and the Chinese army is powerful and barbaric.

But!

Now, the Chinese are blocked in Dublin, and not only are their steps blocked, but they are paying a very heavy price.

In just a few days, the Sino-Irish army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the entire battlefield was littered with the corpses of soldiers from both countries, all of which seemed to prove the Prime Minister's point that the Chinese would break through the British lines with their lives when attacking, savage and at any cost.

Now, though, they have found a way to stop the Chinese. The valiant British general, Earl Cardigan, had successfully blocked the Chinese attack.

Not only blocked the attack of the Chinese, but also severely damaged the Chinese!

All this seems to prove last year's speech in the face of defeat - "Britain will soon be in the near future, as in any other time in history, and a temporary defeat will not prevent Britain from finally winning the war!" ”

At first, it was thought that Dublin's victory was accidental, and everyone was cautiously watching, especially those from all over Europe, but over the next four months, news continued to come in and their eyes were drawn to Dublin.

The Chinese have not taken Dublin so far!

Dublin became a symbol of British courage and pride, as well as of tenacity and, of course, of victory.

If four months ago, most Europeans didn't know what Dublin was, but now, almost all Europeans know the name of the place, and they all know the Irish city.

In the same way, it is also known about the battles that took place here.

"We believe that this battle will ultimately decide the course of the war!"

In the face of the protracted campaign, almost all observers believe that the course of the Battle of Dublin is directly related to the future of Britain.

If the Sino-Irish coalition captured Dublin, then the British power in Ireland would be devastated, and the Sino-Irish coalition would quickly occupy the whole of Ireland, and at that time, even if they no longer wanted to, the British would have to fight a home defense.

If Britain held Dublin, then the Sino-Irish coalition would be severely damaged, Ireland would become the Waterloo of the Chinese, and the British, recovering from the initial period of the war, would first pacify Ireland, then attack North Africa, attack the African colonies of the Chinese, and eventually, they would defeat the Russians with the Turks in the Black Sea and the Chinese in Southeast Asia.

Dublin was a turning point in the war!

Almost all observers believe in this view, and in the same way that the views of observers are influencing the views of European politicians, who are no longer skeptical of this view, and have even become convinced.

In the face of the victory from Dublin, the politicians of London showed the true colors of statesmen, if at the beginning, the victory of Dublin was a relief for them, then now, they need to use the victory of Dublin to tell the world that Britain is invincible!

On the 100th day of the Battle of Dublin, Palmston, as Prime Minister, once again delivered his rousing speech in the House of Lords, in which he did everything possible to praise the British soldiers fighting in Dublin, the generals, the battle, and, of course, to the point.

"The battle of Dublin is no longer just a battle, it will be directly related to the fate of Britain, for Britain, it is like another Tejafara, another Waterloo, this battle, Britain will win......"

In his speech, Palmston mentioned two decisive battles, both of which decided the fate of Britain and, of course, the fate of another country, for Britain, these two battles were the pride and honour of Britain, and for France, it meant disgrace, but for Palmston, as Prime Minister, Dublin symbolized the victory and future of Britain.

"Now all the forces of Britain will be used there, and we will definitely defeat the Chinese!"

In Palmston's sworn speech, no one would question that Dublin would decide the course of the war!

Even decide the fate of two countries!

"Look at the newspapers, read the newspapers, watch the Earl of Cardigan hit the Irish pig ...... again"

In the park, despite the cold wind, the newsboys who were still selling newspapers were running around, trying to sell them to those who were reading books or playing chess in the park, and even at this time, there were many people playing chess, and in one corner, two Englishmen who were playing chess, seemed to be there thinking about what to do next, but occasionally their lips moved lightly, as if to say something.

"Now Cardigan is like a hero to England, a hero like Wellington!"

The chess player seemed to be talking to himself, and he was talking about what is now London's most famous general, the Earl of Cardigan, the British general who had dealt a heavy blow to the Chinese and defended the honor and interests of the British Empire in Ireland.

"He brought victory to England, again and again!"

The man sitting across from him replied casually, and then held the chess pieces as if thinking about the game.

"But none of these victories were decisive!"

"It's clear to everyone!"

The two of them asked and answered, and undoubtedly revealed an open "secret" - the Earl of Cardigan's victory did not actually mean anything, he only held Dublin, or rather, held it for the time being, and other than that, he did not achieve any victory at all, and now, it seems to be an exaggeration to say victory,

So, what will they do? Do you want to continue fighting there for a year, or even two years? ”

After taking a step, he said to the man in a black woolen coat opposite.

"So, according to the analysis of the family, they will definitely have a big plan, and they will definitely hope to change the current deadlock through an operation!"

The two of them said each other, and after he mentioned the question, the man in the gray coat sitting across from him was silent for a moment before speaking.

"That's for sure, Britain needs victory now! A decisive victory, after all, everyone knows that what is happening in Dublin now determines the future victory of the two countries, so the British will never watch this battle stalemate, they will definitely break the deadlock! ”

After another move, he seemed to have figured out something again, and then said.

"There are some signals that they have been planning something lately, but I don't have any further information, so there's no way to tell."

His words made the person on the other side stunned for a moment, and then asked.

"Can you find a way to get further information?"

This is exactly the reason why the two of them are meeting, he needs further information to prove something, and the person in front of him has a special channel to gather this information.

"I want to figure out how to ......"

After pondering for a moment, the man in the gray coat put down the chess pieces in his hand, looked at the person opposite and said.

"It can be dangerous, though!"

"It's our profession! After all......"

The chess player picked up a chess piece, put it on the chessboard, and said without raising his head.

"We're all in this game!"
