Chapter 586: Collaborators (Asking for Support)

The Cape Colony, once a British colony, had already been lowered with the surrender of the British troops guarding the area, and now the flag of the Chinese Empire is flying here. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Once upon a time, the port of Cape Town was the busiest port in southern Africa, after all, it was a transit point connecting the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean, and now, the war has affected this port, causing the port to fall into a certain degree of "depression", but even so, there are still ships coming, after all, the special location here makes him an extremely important stronghold in this war, every day there is a fleet full of soldiers and munitions, from Cape Town to get supplies, in addition to a large number of Chinese merchant ships, There are also a number of foreign ships entering the port, albeit in very small numbers.

When the "Ocean Flying Shear", an old unpowered clipper with a tonnage of only a few hundred tons, sailed into the port under the tow of a steam tugboat, the people on the deck on board all looked at the land with strange and even excited eyes.

"This is Cape Town!"

Looking at the city behind the port, Rendall looked at the city with a wistful gaze, not expecting the city, but one part of the city that attracted them.

"We're going to train here, and then we're going to Ireland soon, where we're going to attack the British!"

Ireland!

The ship's more than 300 passengers were Irish from the United States and Canada who had traveled thousands of miles across the ocean to South Africa to train here and become soldiers, and then to Ireland to fight for Ireland's independence and freedom.

"Chinese......"

As a doctor, Rendall thinks more than the excited and somewhat ignorant people on the same ship, and he will also think about why the Chinese support the Irish, of course, the current war between China and the British is probably the fundamental reason why the Chinese support them.

But as a highly educated person, Rendall has his own understanding of all this.

"Their support for the independence of Ireland in the United Kingdom, the seizure of British colonies around the world, and the division of British colonies with the Russians and possibly other countries were only the first steps in the Chinese......"

With a cigarette in his mouth, Rendall said to Stephen beside him in a rather exclamatory tone.

"When we left New York, we all knew that the newspapers had made a big fuss, and Chinese had already recognized the South, and this was probably the second step of the Chinese, they used us, Ireland to weaken the power of Britain, and then used the South to divide the United States, and if they succeeded, it is certain that neither Britain nor the United States would be able to pose any threat to them at that time......"

Stephen's words made Stephen stunned for a moment, and he looked at Rendall while holding on to the side of the boat, and asked in a calm tone.

"Are you sorry for the fate of the English?"

Shaking his head, Rendall denied.

"I'm not sorry for England, but I'm thinking, if the Chinese get their wish, then in this world, who can stop them? After all, they are not Europeans......"

Although Rendall never felt that he was a racist, he subconsciously rejected the Chinese, in his opinion, the Eastern civilization is not the Western civilization, of course, there is another point, that the Chinese are pagans, they do not believe in Christ.

"A lot of countries can stop them! My friend! ”

Turning his head to look at his friend, Stephen, as a lawyer, changed his words to Gaelic language.

"The French, the Russians, will not tolerate the Chinese to control the world, Britain may be able to control the world, but when Britain's hegemony is defeated, whether it is the Chinese, the French, and the Russians, they do not have enough strength to submit to each other, which means that they cannot control the world, as for Britain, Britain may be excluded from the list of great powers, as for who can stop the Chinese, I think, this issue does not need us to think about it at all, after all, now for Ireland, The most important thing is to win the independence of Ireland! ”

Yes, for the Irish, that's all that matters, and the reason why they came here is to win Ireland's independence! And in this process, they must rely on the help of the Chinese, without the help of the Chinese, let alone return to Ireland, or want to receive military training, for them, in the past, it was unthinkable.

"Now that the Chinese are the only ones in the world willing to help us, then we must seize this opportunity for the independence of Ireland!"

As a lawyer, Stephen knows very well how precious all this is now, and if there is no war between China and Britain, how long it will take to win the independence of Ireland just by relying on the efforts of the Irish themselves, maybe this is just the dream of all Irish people, a dream that has been done for hundreds of years!

But now, that dream has come true! At least little by little, it's becoming a reality!

"I know that the help of the Chinese is extremely necessary for Ireland, but how can we deal with the Chinese after winning the independence of Ireland? Have you thought about it? ”

Rendall's rhetorical question stunned Stephen, he really hadn't thought about this problem, or rather, everyone had never considered this problem, how to deal with the Chinese, this is an unavoidable question.

"Is it like independent Poland with the help of Napoleon?"

Referring to the short-lived Grand Duchy of Poland, Stephen knew that that independence was "under the guidance of the French" and that it was not really independent at all.

"We don't need to think about it yet!"

After a moment of silence, Stephen turned to look at Rendall and said.

"The most important thing now is independence, only after independence, can we make our voices heard! Before that, all the words, there is no meaning......"

Then he pointed to the port.

"We're ......"

In the barracks outside Cape Town, groups of Irishmen in military uniforms were training, and in the barracks, more Irish were looking at the barracks curiously, for the Irish, the barracks were unfamiliar, and this was the first time they had entered the barracks as soldiers, rather than being held in the barracks as criminals.

And this is the headquarters of the First Regiment of the Irish Republican Army, the Irish Republican Army, which is an Irish armed force trained by the Chinese according to the agreement with the Finney Brotherhood, and his soldiers are all Irish expatriates gathered in Cape Town, and Irish expatriates from the United States, Australia, and Canada are rushing here.

When the first rays of dawn pierced the silent sky, hundreds of Irish youths who had come to get the news hurriedly lined up outside the regiment's headquarters. It wouldn't be long before an officer would come out and sit in a chair behind a desk to help these young volunteers fill their names on the recruitment form, and then they would become a soldier in the IRA.

For the first time for the Irish, they will have an army of their own. Every Irishman seemed excited.

At this moment, a young man who looked like an officer walked over. He was young, of moderate stature, with small brown eyes, thin and long eyebrows, a faint beard, and thick dark brown curls. Eck, who was born in Belfast and became a sailor, came to China many years ago, and later became a member of the Chinese Navy, had already become a Chinese citizen, but now he was a major in the Irish Republican Army - the only major in the entire Republican Army.

Of course, there will be more senior officers in the IRA in the future, but at the moment, he is the only "career officer", and that is why he stands out because he is not an amateur officer like those in the Republican Army, he is a professional officer. He was dressed in a crisp black Chinese Army uniform with a brass buckle belt, and his white knight's gloved hand was holding the pitch-black scabbard hanging from the belt, and he looked no different from an ordinary Chinese officer except for his appearance.

"Major."

The officers who were registering saw Jason walk out, and immediately got up and walked upright, even though they were only officers who had just dressed as officers, and had quickly adapted to the change in status.

And the young people who were in line were excited when they saw a senior officer approaching, and they all seemed to want to show their best in front of this officer.

"How's the conscription going?"

"It went very well."

"Obviously, in fact, something went too far, and I had to refuse the enthusiasm of most people."

The second lieutenant looked at the long line of rows in the audience, all of whom had come to enlist in the Irish army, who, having learned of the formation of the IRA, had rushed here to join the Irish army.

"Because a lot of them are a little too old......"

The lieutenant said, pointing to some old men with gray hairs and beards.

"They even say they're only thirty years old, oh God! They were so welcoming! ”

"That's because Ireland hasn't had its own army for a long time, and ours will fight for Ireland's freedom!"

Jason's tone was a little excited, and as he looked at the volunteers, they looked extremely excited.

"Now, a lot of Irish are rushing here, and soon, five hundred people from Australia, and eight hundred people from the United States, and then we can form a group, unbelievable, how are we going to manage so many people......"

Even as a major officer, Jason didn't know how to manage so many soldiers, after all, before that, he was only a lieutenant officer in the Navy and had no experience in commanding army units.

"Sir, sir."

While they were talking about all this, a young man suddenly appeared on the side, and the clear voice made it easy to tell who was speaking.

"This is Major Ek."

The second lieutenant introduced the officer in front of him to the boy.

The boy looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in somewhat shabby clothes, with a dark complexion, dark eyes, and short dark brown hair. He sniffed, then looked straight at the young man in front of him with a frown. After a moment, he smiled and said:

"Sir, will we go back to Ireland? I mean, will I go back to Ireland and fight the British? ”

"Of course, this is the reason why the Republican Army was formed, but not now, after all, you all need to train!"

After hearing the major's answer, the teenager immediately said.

"In that case, I'll be sure to train hard, Major, and I hope we can go to Ireland as soon as possible, and teach the Brits a good lesson."

"Hey, I like this kid."

After listening to the boy's words, Jason looked at the boy in front of him and said.

"What's your name, kid?"

"I'm Fair? Bronck, I'm from this Belfast. Oh, sir, you may have heard that we were there, and that the English did not take us seriously there, sir, you ought to meet our chief, sir, who had brought us here. ”

I saw a smiling young man as he spoke, stretched out his hand and pulled a handsome young man with a neat beard, and the young man introduced with a smile:

"He's Frank, we're all working together on the docks, and he's the one who told us that there's an IRA here, an army of the Irish."

"Sir."

Frank was pulled out of the crowd and he smiled.

"Thank you Frank, if we return to Ireland and everyone is like you, then Ireland will be able to gain independence!"

Jack said as he looked at the young man in front of him.

"I'm sorry, sir, as long as we return to Ireland, as long as we raise the Irish St. Patri's Cross flag, then I am sure that thousands of people like me will join us!"

As he spoke, Frank took out a flag from his bag, which was a white St. Patri's Cross.

After the St. Patri's Cross flag was unfurled, everyone looked at it with solemn expressions, and although the flag was painted by the British in their rice flags, it did not stop Ireland from loving it.

"This is our flag, our St. Patri's Cross flag......"

Frank looked at the Major, and he held the St. Patri's Cross flag in his hand high on the ground, and this small flag was just like that, displayed in front of everyone's eyes, and everyone looked at it, and Jason also looked at the flag with serious eyes, and he looked at it, and looked at the St. Patri's Cross flag. Then he turned his gaze back to Frank and looked at him and said.

"Frank, you take it!"

Glaring at Frank, Jason said.

"When we get back to Ireland, we must raise it so that all the Irish can see our flag......"
