Covered ear protection steel helmets, gray camouflage uniforms, leather field straps, officers and non-commissioned officers holding light Luger 08 commands, soldiers holding vertical magazines T-Beretta 15 ready to go, the pioneer staff slammed open the door with a special heavy hammer, and the follow-up soldiers burst in with lightning to cover each other without hesitation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info several people in the room wanted to resist, after a burst of fierce strafing, the people who touched the guns all turned into a sieve, and the remaining people were terrified and shocked, raising their hands high......

In the middle of summer, a similar scene took place in two rented apartments in the city of Limerick and a dock warehouse in the suburbs, followed by several estates and several fishing villages in the north of Ireland, the terrifying power of the ******** machine, the thunderous wrath of the Irish royal guard. The explosion on Champions League night sparked outrage and the national mobilization of Ireland to hide the rats in the shadows.

The anti-secession front has been full of successes, but at the Royal Cabinet meeting, Irish ministers are still frowning. At the beginning of the entry, these British fans purchased personal safety insurance in accordance with the mandatory regulations of the Irish government, coupled with the official pension given by Ireland, the financial compensation of the dead and injured is not a problem, but behind the outcry of British public opinion is the eruption of new hatred and old hatred, and the British government took advantage of public opinion to ask the Irish government to find out the murderer and hand it over to the British government for punishment.

There is nothing wrong with the strict investigation of the murderers, punishment according to the law, let the victims rest in peace, and give a reasonable explanation to the living, but the British government is so old and spicy in the diplomatic arena, they are dissatisfied with the efficiency of the Irish government's investigation of cases, the intensity of the actions taken by the Irish police and the military, and even the views and attitudes of Irish public opinion. In turn, the Government of Ireland was asked to cooperate fully. The Irish Government of course cannot accept such excessive demands, and the two sides have engaged in a war of words on diplomatic occasions, and although the relations between the two countries have not reached the point of inextricable trouble, the passive position of the Irish Government will inevitably increase with each passing day.

At the wide round table, Foreign Secretary Maclean, who has been on the cusp of the storm lately, has changed from an energetic middle-aged man to a complaining woman, and he nags: "It took only a few lives for Britain to clear the suspicion of secretly supporting the separatist forces in Ireland, and now it is ridiculous to denounce our mishandling of religious conflicts, and the injustice of Protestants living in the north." They think they are cunning, but they forget the beneficiary theory in the judicial process, who is the biggest beneficiary of Ireland's political and diplomatic setbacks in many aspects, such as economy and trade? Great Britain, of course! ”

Ireland is undoubtedly the biggest loser in this dispute. Excluding the political impact, it is only a rough estimate that the economic damage caused by the bombing to Ireland was more than 40 million marks, and it was not only Limerick businesses that were injured, but also tourist attractions and tourism, commercial and trade spin-offs throughout the country, and the government's expected share of tax revenue.

War Chancellor Ammo Perev, a typical Prussian soldier, brave and aggressive, self-disciplined, exclaimed: "Judicial proceedings are only for our own citizens, and disputes between nations are always won by the strong, and if the British government holds us like this, and simply finds an excuse to fight them, who will care about the Britons who died in the bombing of the Limerick Tavern!" ”

The Minister of the Navy, Wilhelm Grienz, had a very good personal relationship with Perev, and were both German officials, and they had a tacit understanding of their attitudes and views on most issues, and even in the allocation of resources for the construction of the army and navy, the two rarely became red-faced, so they were also "enemies" in their views on international disputes.

"To this day, there are still many uncleared mines in the waters near the British, and most of them were laid by the British themselves. If a British steamer had been struck and sunk by this time, the old men in the black top hats in London would have to stop for a while. ”

Grientz's hint could not be more obvious, such an approach is theoretically feasible, but even if it is done in a subtle way, there is a possibility that the other side will catch the clues. If it's exposed, it's really a war.

In the final analysis, Ireland's comprehensive national strength and military strength are not on the same level as that of the United Kingdom, and it is by no means wise to go head-to-head. Natsuki naturally skipped the clamor of Perev and Grienz and waited to see what new considerations Prime Minister Horders had.

Sensing that the king's eyes were on him, Hordes hesitated for a moment and spoke: "We have been trying to track down the culprits in an attempt to resolve the crisis, but our enemies are very cunning, and they must have erased some important clues, so that we could not find one or two key people from the beginning to the end. Perhaps, it is indeed time for us to change course. ”

Thinking that the prime minister was supporting the use of military force, Perev and Grienz looked very good. In their opinion, of course, the Irish army alone could not defeat the British, but with Germany behind them, the situation was different. In the past two years, Germany has always wanted to suppress Britain's momentum of reviving armaments, but the British cunningly avoided the binding clauses of the armistice agreement, borrowed the power of the United States to build ships on a large scale, and added fuel to the fire on the international stage to curb Germany's strategic expansion, which made the German rulers annoyed. On some private occasions, the German top brass repeatedly stated that as long as Ireland took the lead in fighting Britain, Germany would certainly support Ireland as it had supported Austria-Hungary in 1914.

Under the dual status of a member of the German imperial family and the king of Ireland, Natsuki did not want Ireland to become useless cannon fodder for Germany, and Horders came to Ireland from Germany and became the political head of the country from a local official with a bleak future, with the opportunity to display his lifelong ambitions, and also had a similar mentality to Natsuki. He looked tepidly at Pereve and Grienz, and said slowly: "So far, our Royal Guard has killed more than 70 armed men and captured more than 20 in the assault operation, so why not take advantage of the good situation, declare the first phase of the operation against the separatists successfully over, and close the trial of the Limerick tavern bombing as quickly as possible, those who are guilty, those who should be shot, and those who should be imprisoned, so that even if the British government refuses to give up, the pressure of international public opinion will be much lessened." ”

Natsuki did not fail to consider Horders's suggestion, and if it went well, it could indeed help Ireland tide over the difficulties, but it was as hidden as the strategy of the Minister of Army and Navy -- if Ireland had announced a phased victory against separatism the day before, and the hostile elements had created new incidents of violence the day after, the Irish Government would have been slapped in the face, and the negative impact of the debasement of the country's credibility on the economy and trade would be incalculable.

Natsuki voiced his concerns, and the ministers fell silent again. After a while, Secretary of State O'Grady, one of the regular attendees of the Royal Cabinet meeting, said: "As a result of the beer hall bombing, most of the foreign tourists who were attracted to Ireland by the Champions League final have left the country, and although there are still many journalists in Limerick, we have much less people to deal with than we did around the final day, which provides us with an opportunity to take special measures at home." In my personal opinion, we do not have to declare the first phase of the anti-separatist operation victorious, but to prove our effectiveness through unconventional trial procedures and the most resolute means of punishment. It is highly likely that the enemy will strike at this critical time, and my advice is...... Regardless of whether there is an explosion or a human attack, we announce that it was an accident and impose strict lockdown measures on the scene, so that those who are in a position to deliver the information cannot know the truth. As long as you get through for a while, the attention of the outside world will naturally shift to other things. ”

Decisive and ruthless, these descriptions are a bit different from O'Grady's previous image, but listening to his coherent and clear list of all his suggestions, even Natsuki has to re-examine this assistant who was born into a Gaelic nobleman.

Horders has not been in charge of the government cabinet for a long time, but at this stage Ireland is in a special period of infinite beauty on the surface and danger behind it, the experience of dealing with various complex affairs and the adaptation to the king's style of conduct have gradually made the originally cautious German official gradually have a decisive decision, he was the first to nod to O'Grady's advice, and explained: "I believe that the adoption of special judicial procedures for the purpose of protecting the interests of the country will not interfere with the justice of this country, The imposition of capital punishment on those guilty of treason is clearly stipulated in our Constitution. ”

The Prime Minister's statement was reasonable, and the ministers praised him.

O'Grady was overjoyed that his suggestion had been adopted, so when the Prime Minister asked him if he had anything to add, he hesitated for a moment and said in a calm and low-key tone: "In terms of strategy, if Your Majesty can take advantage of this opportunity to tour the north, you can not only subdue public opinion, but also appease the emotions of the Protestants, and also take the opportunity to lure the enemy to come...... Ladies and gentlemen, as long as it is properly deployed, your majesty's safety will not be threatened, and Limerick will be protected from destruction......"

Before the Secretary of State could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Horders, and the Minister of Army and Navy also objected at the first time.

"We must not allow Your Majesty to take this risk." The Prime Minister said with some emotion, "Anytime - never!" ”

Natsuki waved his hand to signal everyone to calm down, then quietly considered for a few minutes and said, "Since St. Patrick's Day, we have been plagued by that nightmare, lest the disaster of Archduke Ferdinand's assassination be repeated in Ireland. As a result, the more scared I became, the more I was afraid to do what I had to do. O'Grady is right, it's a good tactical strategy, like when we lure the enemy into our trap on the battlefield. Fighting a war involves taking risks, and if we are smart enough, we can minimize the danger. ”
