2335 Lawyers in Dublin
The middle-aged man's breathing became significantly heavier. It seemed that this gift had touched his heart. Why is the cause of national independence so difficult in Ireland? After all, it is because Britain is too strong and Ireland is too weak.
The British policy toward the Irish was first to de-industrialize. No light and heavy industry allowed the Irish to develop. Before Cromwell, the Irish were originally very famous for its wool industry, but after that war, the only light industry was also abolished by the British.
The Irish people did not have a modern factory, and even the workshops were hand-made in the medieval style. There was no problem with hand-made horseshoes. If you asked them to make precision muskets? I'm afraid they couldn't even make the oldest smoothbore guns.
First, they don’t have a steel factory, they can’t buy qualified steel at all, and there is no need to negotiate without raw materials. Second, they don’t have machinery, especially boring machines that produce line-ramped gun barrels, which are even more embargoed equipment in the UK.
You can make other parts by hand, but the barrel and rifle inside are not something that humans can do. If this node is stuck, the Irish will be completely blocked by the way to make weapons by themselves.
Coupled with the Royal Navy's blockade of Ireland and the pressure from British diplomacy, the Irish and overseas forces' way to purchase weapons.
The Irish people also understand this principle. They have suffered too much loss and have shed too much blood to fight against bayonets against the enemy's rain of bullets. They have done it before.
Even British militias, ordinary British residents with guns, were able to easily suppress an Irish riot.
The Young Irish Party, after all, was just sneak attacks, using the form of arson riots to put pressure on Britain, that's all.
The repeated failures have made these Irish elites understand what low-key hiding means. They are not easily trusting anyone. They have to wait carefully for historical opportunities and accumulate talents from generation to generation. Until the critical moment, they will never let their outstanding talents die in vain.
The same is true in history. After the uprising was suppressed during the period, it was not until World War I that these Irish people found an opportunity to revolt and riot.
At that time, they reached an alliance with the German Emperor William, the young grandson of Queen Victoria. Emperor William provided funds and weapons to support the Irish independence.
Unfortunately, the British navy was so powerful that all German arms ships could not be sent to the public no matter how they were disguised, and they were sank by the British on the high seas.
However, in this way, the Irish people who received financial support still broke out again and again, but they also received cruel suppression again and again.
It was not until after World War II that Britain completely withdrew from its position as the leader, and humanity entered the Cold War era of the United States and the Soviet Union. Coupled with the popularity of new media, the power of human rights and the rise of the Third World, this gave the Irish people the opportunity.
After all, it was the national independence movement after World War II that helped the Irish people a lot of money, which led to the later Republic of Ireland.
Where is the root of the disease? The root of the disease lies in the equipment of the ship in front of you. When you took out such a generous gift, the other party couldn't help but disbelieve it.
The well-dressed man licked his lips and asked, "You...why are you helping us?"
The Wing King sneered and watched the prey take the bait. "I have confessed my identity. Now it's your turn. Tell me your name and identity!"
Looking at the arms in front of me, the people who came could no longer calm down. "When the Irish Al Shabaab uprising, I was still a child... My uncle died in that battle. My name is Max, and I am a lawyer in Dublin..."
"Lawyer?" King Yi looked carefully at the exquisite suit in front of him, and the golden pocket watch chain was exposed outside. The texture was pure gold and fire, not gold plated.
The key is the demeanor of the person who comes. If it is not a high-level intellectual, it is absolutely not like this. It seems that what he said should be correct.
The smuggler was also frightened by the attack of the Wing King. He saw the confusion in everyone's eyes and quickly explained on the side, "Yes, in Ireland, there are few Irish professions like lawyers, but Max is an exception. He is not Irish, he is British..."
A loud bang... There was a sound of metal hitting, and more than ten long spears and short cannons were aimed at the two of them, which scared the smuggler's faces turned pale.
"No, you guys listen to my explanation..."
"I'll say it..." Max stopped him. "My father is British, but my mother is Irish... My father died when I was very young. I was raised by my mother's family. My uncle is a member of the Youth Irish Party..."
"My legal identity is different from the nation I truly loyal to. I always think that I am an Irish. From childhood to adulthood, I have grown up listening to the ridicule of my British classmates, just because of my mother's bloodline..."
"I will not forgive those people. Since Britain does not recognize me, I will not recognize that country either!"
The Wing King waved his hand, and all the weapons were put down. "Okay, I believe you, the situation is clear now. I need your real uprising. My people must leave Dublin before two in the morning..."
"Listen to my advice, don't try to overthrow the British rule now. Tonight's riots can already shock these British men. Then hide these arms, and we will donate some funds again..."
"Houncing, what you need is to hibernate, wait for the opportunity!"
Max looked at the Wing King coldly, "Chinese? It must be Chinese. Only Chinese in Asia have the ability to come to Europe at this moment, and they still have to be the most popular Chinese!"
"Why do you do this? You must tell me the truth, otherwise I will not cooperate with you!"
"Time is tight, I don't have time to waste my time with you! Don't you believe in the war in Dublin? Don't you believe in these weapons and equipment?"
"Can't my identity as an oriental person be trusted by you? Are the British stupid? Use the Chinese to lure you into the bait? Do you dare to destroy Dublin like this to lure you into appearing?"
"The British are not crazy people, they can't afford to invest so much!" The Wing King was anxious at this moment. All he wanted was time, and every minute was extremely precious.
But the Wing King underestimated the lawyer's calmness, and the guy stared at him like a hawk. "No! I still want the answer, you must give me a reasonable answer!"
