Chapter 616: The Liberator (Second Update)
"No intruder has ever invaded the land of Britain with such impunity!"
The Times article commented on the ongoing war in Ireland, which was forcibly annexed by the British, but which the British had long regarded as an integral part of Britain, and who were now being ashamed of the whole of Britain - Britain was losing not only a large number of colonies, but also Ireland. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, the British should rejoice, because in Ireland the number of Chinese troops sent is limited by logistics – the fact that the French have not yet been involved in the war has prevented China from using France as a base camp to attack the British, resulting in a relatively limited military presence in Ireland – the Irish Front has only 20,000 Chinese officers and soldiers, although their ally the Irish Republican Army has 50,000 troops, their combat effectiveness is relatively limited. The British, by contrast, had a force of more than 150,000 men in Ireland, more than twice the size of the Irish Front.
However, despite the sheer size of the British, they needed to be stationed throughout Ireland – for the whole of Ireland was now like a spark that could erupt at any moment, and the war was evolving into a different situation with an endless stream of uprisings of all sizes.
And on the battlefield, every victory of the coalition army inspired the Irish, who were enslaved by the British, to revolt everywhere, to rebel against the British.
However, the uprisings of varying sizes did not seem to have much effect on the overall situation of the war, and only a truly decisive war could fundamentally change the situation in Ireland, and as for the small victories that accumulated into small ones, they did not actually have any effect on the course of the war.
A hundred battles to annihilate ten men have no effect on the enemy as much as a battle to annihilate hundreds of enemy troops, just like now, after the city of Tallamor was conquered by the coalition forces, although the British army lost only more than 2,000 people, but it fundamentally supported the British rule in Ireland, and the morale of the British and Irish people was by no means comparable to hundreds of uprisings of varying sizes or underground resistance.
After the battle, the city of Talamoor has changed under the shelling, many buildings in the city have been damaged - windows shattered by the explosion of shells, hollow, occasionally you can see a destroyed building, the city has suffered thousands of shells in the previous battle, the British will never easily withdraw from the city, will not easily admit defeat, the battle is fierce, and after the fierce battle, even if the battle has been over for a few hours, The city remained dead silent, and tens of thousands of people had evacuated the city during the war, and now the city was empty as if it were a dead city, with only the occasional sound of gunfire reminding people that the fighting was still going on.
On some street corners, the British soldiers who were captured by the Irish were escorted at the street corners and executed by the Irish in rows, the war did not end because of the surrender of one side, retaliatory massacres occurred from time to time, under the enslavement of the British, the Irish who only had the memory of blood and tears did not give up the opportunity to retaliate, in the prisoner of war camps in the rear, there were almost no British prisoners of war, and in this regard, the Chinese military top brass, as allies, completely turned a blind eye, and they even privately encouraged the Irish to retaliate against the British. They were encouraged to kill those who rebelled against the British.
"The more the Irish kill the British, the less likely it is that they will be reconciled in the future!"
The Chinese, as guests, knew very well that only the hatred accumulated through the massacre would make Ireland inseparable from China, and in the future they would not dare to betray China, because they needed China and needed China against Britain.
Corpses, some of which could be seen in the streets, were the corpses of civilians, and it was clearly a kind of revenge on a national consciousness - many Protestant Irish and British were killed, and for the Irish, these people were also enemies.
Massacre, it seems, is inevitable!
For the Chinese soldiers, they will always choose to ignore all this, while the Irish are there to retaliate with bullets against their enemies, some Chinese soldiers are roaming the city, Li Jinnan and Zhang Guoyang are walking one after the other, whether they have rifles in their hands, their eyes are vigilant looking at everything around them, and as they walk, they see a luxurious building in front of them.
"What a magnificent house, full of majesty, let's go and visit!"
Li Jinnan, who was holding a gun, gave up the idea of resting, and pointed to the house with the door wide open.
"Maybe we can rest on the couch for a while!"
"If I find the silver and open my eyes, it will be mine!"
"No way, let's divide it evenly then."
For the soldiers, there are always some ownerless goods on the battlefield, and now it is no exception, those ownerless goods, for them, are not only a kind of reward, but also a kind of war souvenir, they will send those things home through the military welfare society.
For the soldiers, it is often the silver cutlery that attracts their attention the most, and as for oil paintings, only a few soldiers will know how to appreciate them. The troops did not prohibit the soldiers from "cleaning up the spoils of war" on the battlefield, as long as it was not robbery.
The beautiful gate had been destroyed, and the courtyard inside the gate was a little dilapidated because no one had repaired it, and when they reached the door of the Western-style house, the door was wide open.
Zhang Guoyang carried the rifle in his hand and walked up the steps with a big grin.
"Excuse me, is there anyone in the house?"
Of course, there was no one in the house, and the corridors were thrown around, the torn curtains and cloths, the plates and saucers were thrown everywhere, and every room was churned and messed up, and it seemed that it had been looted by some bandits, and there were too many people who took advantage of the fire in the war, especially such a rich family, and it was the object of looting, the wardrobe fell to the ground, and the drawers were pulled out.
The place was completely ransacked, so that the two searched around, there was no silver cutlery as they imagined, and there was nothing interesting, and finally, Li Jinnan walked into a large room in the living room on the second floor, and he was a little bored, so he welcomed Zhang Guoyang, who came in later, according to British etiquette.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang!"
His etiquette seemed a little nondescript, although it seemed a little funny, but in this magnificent place, he couldn't help but joke with his comrades, and Zhang Guoyang immediately returned the salute to him.
The etiquette of both of them seems a little nondescript, but the two of them are joking with each other like actors.
"Okay, please sit down, please rest for a while......"
The two men sat on the large sofa like two big men, and looked around curiously, the room was a little messy, and though it had been looted, the things such as the sofas were still well preserved, the beautifully made sofas, the comforting ones to sit on, the marble stove, the paintings on the walls, the crystal chandeliers on the ceiling, whatever they were, all of which showed the extravagant life of the owner of the room. There are several oil paintings hanging on the walls, which depict beautiful landscapes.
"Oh, the world is troubled, and now the world is always in turmoil, what's going on?"
"Sir, London is also having a headache right now, and a duke from London visited me the day before yesterday. We haven't seen each other for a long time, and I told him that we won't do anything unreasonable, so please rest assured! ”
"Hey, it's better for them to surrender early!"
Two warriors posing as "big men" suddenly stood up, walked to the stove, and found something strange on the marble hearth.
Li Jinnan took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, it was a brass thing with a fan-like shape, and its components included a small telescope, a translucent and semi-reflective fixed plane mirror, and a movable mirror linked to the index.
"It's a sextant!"
Li Jinnan said with some excitement, with a curious expression on his face.
"Look, Zhang Guoyang, it's a sextant,"
It was indeed a sextant, and it looked beautifully made, and they had only seen it in books.
"Well, it's a good thing indeed, and there's a good chance that the owner of this house is a captain......"
The words of his comrades-in-arms made Li Jinnan fall into silence, and when Zhang Guoyang said "what's wrong" to him, he said in a tone of voice:
"Ah, you see, the British used to use this to open up overseas colonies, but unfortunately now their empire has fallen......"
The British empire is being destroyed, and they are trying to destroy it!
"Come on, don't sigh, Daming was quite strong back then, isn't it over in the end......"
In the words of his comrades-in-arms, Li Jinnan stood up and respectfully picked up the sextant and carefully put it into his backpack.
He followed Zhang Guoyang down the steps, and on the way back, said in a regretful tone:
"It's really a pity, I just saw that there are a lot of books in this British home, at least tens of thousands, and a globe or something, which I am afraid I can't see at all in the homes of those adults, and at this point, our adults are still inferior to the British......"
"But the British are still no match for us, and we have defeated them on the battlefield!"
When it comes to raising the bar, Li Jinnan is not Zhang Guoyang's opponent, he only needs one sentence to reverse everything, and when he was about to leave, Zhang Guoyang even turned back to the room and said loudly:
"Goodbye and thank you for the gift!"
