Chapter 167, Peace and Business (5)

When the British troops stationed in Dublin arrived at the Governor's Mansion, the despicable and shameless attackers had long disappeared. The Governor's Mansion was full of broken walls and corpses were lying everywhere. While the soldiers were cleaning the corpses, several more explosions occurred. The attackers set up thunders near the corpses. For example, there was a thin thread tied to the belt of the corpse, which was connected to a mine or something. There were also doors, windows and other things.

As a result, the British army that arrived was killed and injured by more than a dozen, so when everyone continued to search inside, they were all afraid of death.

The British army carefully searched the door of the Governor's office. The mahogany door of the office was still hidden, as if the master was still inside. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and no one dared to push the door up and push it. Who knew if the door would roar with a rumbling sound when it pushed it.

"Who, does anyone have something longer?" asked a captain.

"I remember there was a half-flag pole over there," a soldier shouted, "I'll take it over."

Then the soldier went out and "boom"!

"Captain, Captain, Jim is dead!"

"Damn!" The captain was so angry that he threw his hat to the ground. "Damn it! Harry, go outside the Governor's Mansion, go to the people's house there, and recruit a clothespin!"

A small soldier responded and ran out. After a while, he came back with several clothes rails.

"Company Commander, there are a few clothes rails here. Let's connect them together to make it safer."

"Not bad! The young man is smart!" the captain praised.

Several people connected several clothes rails with all their hands. The captain waved his hand and everyone retreated silently to the back. The captain lay on the ground, stretched out the pole that was about ten meters long, and carefully pushed the door. The door opened silently and no explosion occurred.

The captain got up angrily, remembering Jim who had just been blown to death because he went to get the flagpole. He suddenly felt pain and anger that his IQ was trampled on.

However, although he was angry, the captain still told himself to be calm and calm, otherwise he might be fooled.

He walked to the door carefully and looked inside, but saw a naked obese corpse hanging under the crystal chandeliers in the office. The captain recognized that this corpse was the Duke of Governor Bedford!

"Now, things are going on!" thought the captain, "I don't know how many people will lose their heads because of this incident..."

At this time, other soldiers also came in one after another.

"Don't walk around, don't touch anything! Don't put him down, beware of explosives." The captain said quickly.

"Company Commander, the Governor has words on his body!" a soldier shouted.

The captain's attention was just now on where there was a landmine. After hearing this, he quickly looked at the Duke's body, and then he saw clearly that the thugs carved a line of words with knives: "The fate of the invader!"

At this time, a gust of wind blew in, and the duke's hanging body turned, so the duke's back appeared in front of them, with a line of words engraved on it: "This is your tomorrow!" And there was a long knife inserted in the middle of his butt.

It took the British more than half an hour to confirm that the Irish bandits were not arranged at the Duke. The Irish bandits were worried that the explosion would blow up their messages, so they did not place the explosives there.

The Irish attack shocked the entire UK and even Europe. After all, a duke died in the British Empire this time, and the British Empire had never died of such a person of this level in many years.

Prime Minister Peter delivered a speech to the MPs in the House of Representatives, condemning the "horrifying terror" crimes committed by the French and British insurgents who colluded with each other and violated the "basic morality of war" and vowed to "for blood to blood, for tooth to teeth". At the same time, he proposed to the parliament to request an additional sum of money to recruit and train more troops to suppress the rebellion in Ireland.

"We will make those rebels regret it, and they and their descendants will never dare to look directly at us with their eyes, and will never dare to have the idea of ​​rebellion again!"

Prime Minister Peter made such a statement.

What about European countries? Prussia said that it is very regrettable that such a thing happened. I hope everyone will remain restrained and not do anything that will worsen the situation. After all, peace is rare.

Austria said: "French merchants should control their weapons output, especially in some unstable areas. After all, weapons are not ordinary commodities, and merchants should also consider moral issues."

The Russians expressed some sympathy for the British. They believed that the French should stop exporting these dangerous weapons, especially those that were easy to carry in concealment. But the new Tsar also stated that the British should also reflect on their actions in Ireland.

Even the Pope's Coronation came forward to issue a statement, saying that he hoped that after this tragic time, Ireland's Catholics would not be treated unfairly, and called on the British government to learn from the lessons and stop persecuting Catholics in Ireland.

As for the French, Lucien said in the National Assembly: "What happened in Ireland is not a rebellion, but a cry of despair from oppressed and enslaved people. The great French people will always stand with those oppressed and enslaved people in the world, and will always stand with truth and justice. We are not afraid of the British howling, and we will continue to support the struggle of the Irish people to win freedom and liberation!"

Of course, after falling from the podium of the National Assembly, Lucien visited the Minister of Public Security Fouche with heavy protection and had in-depth discussions on how to combat possible vandalism by British terrorists.

As for in Ireland, the British army had set out in a group to conquer the areas where the rebels were most likely to hide...

A team of British cavalry rushed into a remote Irish village. Company commander William Taphoton, Jr., was ordered to come here to clear the rebels. Of course, the rebels would definitely not admit that they were rebels. Therefore, he told the soldiers that any Irish who ran away when they saw us must be rebels who were scared when they saw us; any Irish who saw us not yet ran away were elite and well-trained rebels; any Irish who said they were rebels, they were naturally lawless rebels; any Irish who said they were not rebels, they were the most dangerous and cunning rebels. In short, just cut off their heads and burn all their villages.

However, when the cavalry rushed into the small village, they found that there was no one in the village. All the doors were done tightly.

"Where are people? Where are the people?" Company Commander Tahuidun looked around in confusion.

"I don't believe they can hide under the ground!" said Company Commander Tahuidun, "Everyone dismounts and find those guys!"

The cavalry all got off their horses, and someone went over and kicked open the door of a broken room, and then "Boom!"

"Don't go in! Set fire and burn the house!" Company Commander Taphoton shouted.

Someone went to the firewood to smoke the firewood to prepare to burn the house, and then he seemed to step on some "boom!" Then, a piece of foot with leather boots fell in front of Company Commander Tahuidun.

At this time, a gunshot suddenly came from a distance, and a soldier fell to the ground.

"Rebel! Rebel is there!" Company Commander Tahuidun drew his command knife and pointed it to the left. Everyone looked to the left and saw a figure running forward with a gun.

The cavalry also shot at the man, but the cavalry's guns were not far away and they were not accurate. So several cavalry got on the horse, drew out their sabers, urged the horses to chase after them, and then another "boom"...

At this time, several shots were shot from the other direction.

"Rebel bandits, rebel bandits are there!"

A soldier ran to the corner and wanted to avoid the rebels' shooting, but then another "boom".

Bullets were fired from all directions. However, the rebels did not have many guns and the firepower density was very limited. However, when the British army avoided shooting or tried to pursue, they kept "booming". These "booming" caused considerable casualties to the British army.

Company Commander Tahuidun found that if he continued like this, he would continue to suffer. Moreover, it began to darken. Once it was dark, God knew how many rebels would be... So he shouted loudly: "Retreat, retreat, retreat, retreat from the same way!"

The cavalry got on their horses and ran back along the same route. During this process, two more cavalry were hit and fell down. But Company Commander Taphoton no longer cared about them, and he fled with the remaining cavalry.

Looking at the British army fleeing in a panic, the Irish guerrilla soldiers who were ambushing around the village all smiled happily. Before this battle, the observation posts they set up on the top of the mountain not far away discovered the cavalry of the company commander Taphoton and knocked down the message tree. Then the guerrilla soldiers organized the villagers to hide in the nearby forest and hung the mines that had been put in the village.

As a result, the effect of this battle was even better than the exercises they performed in Toulon training camp. The British stepped into their trap almost every step, and in the end they did not even die, so the British left more than a dozen bodies and fled in panic. They didn't even have time to destroy the village. How could such a result not make these soldiers full of enthusiasm?

So I don’t know who started it, so everyone sang a bright and uplifting song they learned from Toulon Training Camp:

"Build mines and pick up guns, set up battlefields all over the mountains and fields. Resolutely eliminate the invaders and arm them to defend their hometown..."
