Chapter Ninety-Eight, Let the Nuclear Explosion Come More Violently! (below)

“…… What is this situation? Did the Irish jump the other way around? And then fought with the US-British coalition into a pot of porridge? ”

On the 300,000-ton supership "Ocean Oasis" sailing in the South Pacific, Wang Qiu lay under the sun umbrella of the top class A, drinking cocktails mixed with freshly squeezed tropical juices, while looking at the latest received information on the European battlefield, he couldn't help but muttered with a strange face.

However, if you think about it carefully, looking at the overall situation is unfavorable and seeing the wind and rudder, it is also the instinct and survival of many small countries in this world.

As the saying goes, "husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes", a certain person may be able to talk about righteousness and stick a knife in the ribs of brothers, but if it is a country, righteousness or something is not as important as survival, once it is a matter of life and death, it is absolutely necessary to sell teammates decisively, and it is right to throw off the pot and stop loss.

What's more, between Britain and Ireland, where is a loving husband and wife, it is simply a pair of bitter enemies!

From the terrible Irish famine in the last century (only half of the four million Irish were left after the famine, a hundred times worse than any three-year ♂ natural disaster, and Queen Victoria deliberately refused to provide relief, and even scavenged food from the disaster area, hoping to starve as many Irish as possible to make room for it), to the Irish War of Independence more than 20 years ago, the Irish remember this bloody and tearful black account clearly.

Moreover, the Irish did not lack the courage to fight, although it was true that their army was not very good. But in the difficult confrontation with the British Empire before the founding of the country, there were still many talents and warriors, to say that the grandfather of the terrorist attack, the Sinn Féin Party in Ireland is definitely well-deserved, and in the nineteenth century, it pondered using suicide submarines to hit the warships of the British Empire! Both al-Qaeda and ISIS have to call them teachers.

Previously, the reason why the Republic of Ireland joined the Allied forces was only because it saw that Nazi Germany was about to fall and could not make any waves, and the United States used gratuitous aid to tempt it, coupled with various soft and hard means, that the Irish government followed the trend and allied with the United States and Britain and declared war on Germany and Italy, in fact, without sending a single soldier. But since they wanted a sign of the victorious powers, they had to do something for the Allies, so they temporarily leased several ports in the country for the use of American troops - of course, only for American troops in wartime, and the British troops still refused to enter the country.

However, what the short-sighted Irish never expected was that the war on the European continent was not extinguished with the collapse of the German Nazis and the Italian fascists, but intensified with the great fighting between Britain and the Soviet Union, and finally evolved into the Third World War! This was a great defeat to the original intention of the Irish to be a victorious nation, and the entire Republic of Ireland from top to bottom did not think of shedding blood for the British.

Therefore, after the outbreak of World War III, the Irish government has been reluctant to declare war on the Soviet Union, and no matter how much coercion and temptation the United States and Britain try, it is useless. After the nuclear explosions and mushroom harvests were everywhere in Britain, the Irish government was even more silent, lest the US troops stationed in the country invite disaster to themselves.

So, out of the fear of being dragged into the water by the British, and even more so of not wanting to be bombarded by a Soviet nuclear bomb, the Irish government hastily made a reckless decision - on November 20, 1946, Irish President de Valera made a public speech, officially announcing that the Republic of Ireland would remain neutral in World War III, and at the same time ordering the expulsion of American troops in Ireland...... President de Valera's speech was leaked by pro-British and pro-American elements in the government before it was officially announced.

Both Truman and Churchill were shocked and angry about Ireland's above-mentioned betrayal: since the outbreak of World War III, Truman has been very worried about the defection of the allies, because the overall situation on the battlefield is really unfavorable to the United States and British allies. If someone picks up the lead in leaving the alliance and withdrawing from the war without punishment, I am afraid that the other allies will immediately follow suit, triggering a chain reaction that will eventually lead to an avalanche of diplomatic disasters and the collapse of the entire camp of "free nations".

And Churchill's worries were even deeper. In any case, Ireland and the United States are separated by the Atlantic, while Britain and Ireland have been bad neighbors for thousands of years. At the moment, it is just that the British Empire seems to be out of place, and the Irish are busy trying to clear up the relationship, so if the Soviet army crosses the sea and lands, with the Irish's consistent hatred for the British Empire, will it definitely fall into the well and stab him in the back?

-- In the Napoleonic Wars and the First World War, the Irish played the role of backstabbing traitors to the British Empire. (The Irish at the time took advantage of the British invasion of the mainland to launch armed uprisings, and there were more than two of them.) ）

It is unreasonable that under Queen Victoria, you Irish were in the same position as Indians, a colony native, a semi-civilized monkey who was recognized as expelled from the ranks of European civilizations. As the saying goes, it is better to be with outsiders than to give domestic slaves. Even if the British Empire is destined to decline, not just any cat or dog can make up their minds to get a piece of the pie. The tiger is not powerful, do you still think we are sick cats?

Therefore, in order to prevent a fire in the backyard and an avalanche reaction from the allies, on the very day that President de Valera ordered the expulsion of the US troops stationed in Ireland, the United States and Britain decisively intervened -- the 50,000 British Army and a number of National Guard troops who had retreated to Northern Ireland immediately crossed the border and headed south for Dublin. At the same time, the British Mediterranean fleet, which had just been recalled, forced its way into the Irish Sea, shelling and bombing the port of Dublin. The U.S. Marines, who had previously been stationed in Cork Harbour and Galway Harbour, also launched armed provocations at the same time, containing the mobile forces deployed by the Republic of Ireland in these places. Unable to anticipate such a fierce reaction from the United States and Britain, and neither the government nor the army were ready for a war, the Republic of Ireland, which was caught off guard, resisted for only three days before Dublin fell and President de Valera was killed by stray bullets on the streets of the capital. After the collapse of the central government of the Republic of Ireland, the United States and Britain re-established a puppet regime in Dublin as a white glove to rule Ireland.

However, although the Allies easily overthrew the Irish government in Dublin, they were unable to extinguish the flames of traditional national hatred among the Irish. The puppet government established by the United States and Britain in Dublin was hardly recognized and supported by any local power in Ireland. A large number of British civilian militants called the "National Guard" who were actually bandits and robbers burned, killed, and plundered everywhere in Ireland, which aroused the anger of the locals.

As a result, the Irish Republican Army, an old terrorist organization that had been suppressed by the government of the Republic for a long time because of its radical anti-British, soon took the opportunity to rise in an instant in such a turbulent and chaotic situation, not only receiving a large number of legacies and military and political personnel of the Republic of Ireland, but also having a large base in the western part of Ireland at once, and establishing the "Irish Revolutionary Government of National Salvation" in Limerick on the Shannon River.

At present, these veteran anti-British fighters are fighting guerrilla warfare and movement warfare on the island of Ireland while urgently appealing to the Soviet side for help.

Comrade Stalin, the iron and loving father of the Soviet people, also expressed great joy at these "awakened anti-imperialist patriotic Irish people", and although there were not many surplus troops available in a hurry, he still organized a French volunteer army to go to the island of Ireland for reinforcements. At the same time, he ordered the Soviet strategic bomber formation to strike again, dropping an atomic bomb on Belfast, the capital of British Northern Ireland, the newest residence of the British wartime cabinet, as the most powerful aid to the IRA...... Well, such a nuclear explosion aid is indeed the most powerful in this world today.

Although Prime Minister Winston Churchill escaped again by visiting Dublin, which had just been captured, Belfast was the city of Belfast, killing and wounding 100,000 people in an instant. And Churchill's wartime cabinet team was also more than seventy percent finished.

What is even more unfortunate is that the body of the old king George VI, who died not long ago, was not transported back to England for burial at this time, but was temporarily stranded in the Belfast Palace, where he died of illness, and was blown away in the nuclear bombing, and there were no ashes left...... For this reason, Princess Margaret, who has not yet officially ascended the throne, that is, the future Queen Elizabeth II, and her mother, Queen Elizabeth, had to cry and collect some clothes and daily necessities left by her father during his lifetime, and made a mound in the backyard of Windsor Castle.

At the same time, on the battlefield of Japan on the other side of the world, the US military stationed in Japan, which had been fighting bloodily for a year, finally ushered in the final moment...... (To be continued.) )
