Chapter 588: The Power of Awakening (Asking for Support)

Freely!

There is nothing more precious in the world than freedom!

Only those who are in slavery know the value of freedom!

As an Irish youth, Michael's heart will always yearn for freedom, not individual freedom, but the freedom of Ireland as a whole, and he, like many Irish youth, will always look for history in books, the history of Ireland, and feel the determination of those patriots to revolt again and again for the freedom of Ireland, what kind of courage supports them?

Supporting them to use such a weak force against the powerful British?

Thinking of the British, his ears seemed to ring the sound of British soldiers' boots again - after the outbreak of the war between Britain and China, it seemed that fearing that the Irish would become Chinese collaborators, and the British sent a large number of troops to Ireland - more than 100,000 British were stationed in the cities of Ireland, and the sound of British boots could be heard in the cities at any time.

"Knock...... Knock ......"

Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door, and the people outside the door seemed to be in no hurry, and before Michael could get up, he heard someone shouting outside the door.

"Michael, Michael, quick, open the door!"

It's Harry, Michael's best friend. However, because of his family, he did not study in this school, but was wandering the streets.

"I'm coming, wait a minute......"

The moment the door opened, Harry immediately exclaimed.

"Michael, the British are finished!"

What the?

"What are you talking about?"

"The IRA, I mean the IRA of Ireland, they, and Chinese, have landed, and they're now marching on us, on Dingle, and thousands of them, they're joining them, and they're going to fight here soon......"

Harry was so excited that he shouted as if to prove his words.

"This is what I heard my sister say......"

His sister, who worked as a maid in the British command, must have heard something unknown to the outside world, at least before anyone else.

"Is this true?"

"Of course, that Major William, is mobilizing his troops, believe me, they are no match for the Chinese at all, he also sent a telegram asking for help, my God, my sister said, there is a panic everywhere in the whole headquarters, they are afraid of the Chinese in their bones! Yes, and Ireland, and the Irish Republican Army, this is our own army! ”

Harry shouted so loudly that it alarmed the others, and many of the people in the school crowded over, and they looked at Harry and asked excitedly.

"What, you mean, the army of the Irish? The IRA? ”

"The IRA? How come we haven't heard of it? ”

"Of course you haven't heard of it, it's the army of the Irish......"

This is the army of the Irish!

While the young people were excited by the sudden news, in the study of a local businessman in Dublin, Stephens, the head of the Irish Republican Brotherhood, looked at the core members of the dozen or so Brotherhood in front of him and said,

"My friends, the time has now come for Ireland to win its freedom......"

Stephens looked agitated at this time, and just two months earlier he had received a secret telegram from the United States, which convinced him that the freedom of Ireland, which he had dreamed of since his youth, would become a reality, and that this dream had now been made possible by the arrival of another telegram.

"As we speak, an Irish Republican Army and our Chinese allies, have landed in County Kerry, and they are attacking the British, my friends, according to the old adage 'The crisis of England is an opportunity for Ireland' and now we must revolt, revolt throughout Ireland, and plunge the British into a sea of war......"

As the head of the Brotherhood, Stephens has received funding from the Chinese in the past two months - more than 20,000 rifles have arrived in Ireland through France, these weapons are scattered everywhere, and there are more than 5,000 rifles in Dublin, and now for the Irish Brotherhood, the number of weapons even exceeds the number of Brotherhood, this is the first time for the Irish, after all, just a dozen years ago, when Stephens and his friends launched an uprising, But there were only a hundred people and more than twenty old long and short guns, but now, they have more than 20,000 rifles.

"Stephens, I don't think it's a good time to start an uprising, in Dublin, there are a lot of British troops, our strength is too thin, if we start an uprising, the uprising can be suppressed by the British army at any time, and more importantly, not everyone knows that the IRA has been formed, and ......"

Kyle, who raised the objection, watched Stephens and say the reason for his objection.

"In 1798 the French also landed, and we were enthusiastic about supporting them, but it was clear to everyone that the French had failed, and that the Irish who had taken part in the revolt had been hanged! Stephens, at least, we should wait until the whole of Ireland knows that the IRA has landed, when the whole of Ireland is talking about them, and then we start an uprising, and at that time, even the Pope will show his support for us, and not now, and it will be a seemingly uprising, you know, this uprising may be suppressed by the British at any time! ”

Kyle has his own fears, and he opposes any hopeless rebellion. All along, he only agreed to launch an uprising if there was a promising hope of success. Clearly, there is no hope for success now.

"Are we just watching the British attack them?"

Stephens asked rhetorically, turning his gaze to another man, Jerry, who had come from London two months earlier, who was ostensibly an Englishman, but who was actually a spy for China. He was the intermediary between the Brotherhood and the Chinese, and more importantly, he helped plan many operations, and the smuggling and dispersal of weapons might have been intercepted by the British if it had not been for his careful planning.

"Jieduan, do you have any comments?"

Jerry said immediately as Stephens threw the question to himself.

"As an outsider, I shouldn't have expressed my opinion, but the situation is very clear to everyone now, the British did send a lot of troops in Ireland, why did they send so many troops? It is precisely because they know very well that Ireland can never be loyal to England, and for Ireland this is a golden opportunity, and now it is impossible for Britain to devote all their strength to Ireland, perhaps they have 100,000 troops here, but here there are more than 6 million Irishmen, and if every patriotic Irish is armed, then I believe that the independence of Ireland will be achieved immediately......"

"It can't be, not every Irishman is willing to stand up against the British!"

Jerry's argument was immediately refuted by others, and if every Irish had been willing to rebel against the British, perhaps Ireland would have won its freedom long ago.

"Therefore we need to awaken the people with sacrifice and blood, to awaken the patriotism in the hearts of every Irishman, gentlemen, I do not know what the time is for victory, but I know very well that if the IRA in County Kerry cannot be supported by us, then they will surely fail, and after their defeat, the Irish will only see that the rule of the English is unshakable, and the people will sink again, my friends, I think this is the advice that you should give you as friends!"

Finally, Jerry said to everyone in a heavy tone.

"We all know very well that the uprising must be bloody! England could not have given Ireland freedom without bloodshed! ”

Jerry's words caused everyone in the study to fall into silence, and they pondered, as if they were thinking,

"Friends, each and every one of us has sworn to sacrifice everything for the independence and freedom of Ireland, and if so, then I will do it first!"

Breaking the silence, Stephens looked at the crowd and said.

"Now, then, we now vote on whether to revolt or wait and see, and those who agree with the uprising please raise your hands......"

Hands raised, one by one, and finally even Kyle, who raised the objection, raised his hand as well, and the decision had been made!

Uprising!

Jerry was often relieved when these people made the decision to revolt, knowing that everything was over, that his mission had been preliminarily achieved, and that as long as the Irish were willing to revolt here, Ireland would become a battlefield, a battlefield against the British.

And this battlefield is bound to cost the British very dearly! It may even affect the course of future wars!

Young people who came from the countryside and cities, including fathers and sons, brothers, uncles and nephews, peasants, merchants, students, landlords, and people of all kinds of identities are now gathered in this land. They stood in line in front of the wagons waiting to receive their weapons, and brand new rifles were removed from the wooden crates and distributed to the men.

They don't have military uniforms!

They didn't carry any equipment, so they had to pack bullets into their purses, and their clothes were of all colors, if the only thing was the same? I'm afraid it's just excited, excited faces, and every face carries a longing, which is a desire for freedom.

Jason, who was on his horse, looked at the recruits, and he took a deep breath as he looked at them.

"Well, I don't want to tell you anything, you all know who we are, what we're going to do, we're the IRA, we're going to fight for the independence of Ireland, that's our duty, you're all volunteering to join this army, but if you want to fight alongside us, there's something I want you to know!"

He lowered his head and didn't look into those eyes.

"This regiment has just been formed in South Africa, some of them are from South Africa, some are from Australia, some are from the United States, and every single one of them is volunteering, not because they are too bored to find excitement because they are at home, nor because it is honorable to do so, but because they know that freedom in Ireland is above all else, and we all know very well that freedom is not just a word......"

His gaze turned from those silent faces to the sky.

"It's a completely different army, and if you look at history, you know that people go to war for their pay, for women's spoils or for other people's spoils, they fight for the land, or the king tells them to do it, or because they like to kill, but we are here for new things...... There are not many things in the history of the world, and we are an army that liberates others......"

Jason, who had already jumped off his horse, bent down and grabbed a handful of dirt with his hands, he felt himself in a state of shape, the words coming out of his mouth naturally, and the people in front of him listened motionlessly.

"This is a land of freedom, from here, to Carndona, to Belfast, to the whole of Ireland, where people deserve their own land, where people deserve their own religion, where our ancestors lived, of course we have the right to live here, here is where we have a home, but not for the land, the land is, but this is the land of the Irish, and every Irish has the right to live freely here......"

As he spoke, all barriers vanished, and in an instant, all obstacles disappeared, and his words reached everyone's ears, and whatever their previous status was, they were all excited and silent at this moment because of his words, and in the same way, he himself felt the strength, the power of what he was doing, and for a moment he seemed to see the centuries-long barbaric rule and persecution of Ireland by the English in history, and finally, he stood here again, standing in front of these soldiers, He will fight with them, for Ireland.

"Let's fight for the freedom of Ireland! My friends! ”

After Jason said these words, the soldiers in front of him were silent, and after a long silence, I don't know who first applauded, then someone screamed, and finally everyone shouted together, these people looked at Jason and shouted excitedly.

"Let's fight for the freedom of Ireland!"

Michael and Harry, who were in the crowd, shouted and shouted loudly, their expressions were agitated, their eyes were determined, and no one doubted that they would be able to win, just as the Emperor of China had said - when a people was determined to fight for their freedom, then that nation would be invincible!
