One hundred and seventieth chapters, the strengthening of public security (1)
When it comes to the level of organizing terrorist attacks, the British were still completely brothers at this time, and the level of the royal party that cooperated with the British was very limited. Those guys from the royal party could only do something like spreading rumors, and even inquiries about intelligence, so they were not good at terrorist attacks.
If you ask who the royal party hates the most and wants to kill the most, then the people of Robespierre must have been put in front of it. To be honest, with Robespierre's style of loving around where no one is brought to him, the royal party is a little more capable, and it is not particularly difficult to assassinate Robespierre. As for Eber, it would be easier, and that guy has always lived in the most chaotic slums.
In fact, none of the big men of Jacobin could do the job of assassination defense. The royal party did not even need to have a high IQ and ability. It only needed the courage to not be afraid of going to the guillotine to kill any big men they wanted to kill. Whether it was Robespierre, Saint Just, Danton and Eber. Just like Corde, the sympathizer of the Brissoite, although he had not received any training, he could easily kill Mara.
In other words, the gang of guys from the royal party have no martial virtues of "dead with them" at all, and are all a group of Fira's unbearable wastes.
So, the group of British people were wrapped up in a circle by the National Military Law Enforcement Intervention Group.
However, compared to the waste of the royal party, the British had much more martial ethics. After they found out that they were surrounded, they immediately launched a breakthrough operation. If their opponent was just ordinary policemen or the parallels of the National Self-Defense Forces, these guys might have really broken through.
But this time they were facing a national military law enforcement intervention group. In fact, this so-called national military law enforcement intervention group is a group of people in the "Red Army" who are specialized in street combat training. They quickly arranged anti-destructive mines on the streets according to the tactics they had already studied. In the direction where the enemy was expected to break through, they prepared three-pound cannons.
As a result, the British indeed fell into a trap when they broke through the siege. They first stepped on landmines, then were shelled, then fired by gunfire and bombarded by little melons, and suddenly became a mess. In the end, the national military law enforcement intervention team wiped out the "thug" in just single-digit casualties.
Since the British were causing trouble in France under the banner of the royal party, the French naturally had to respond. So the Irish launched an offensive in Ireland again. Before the newly recruited troops of the UK had time to prepare, a large number of troops were put overseas again. In Ireland, the opportunity of weak troops was launched, and a large number of offensive operations began.
In the original history, influenced by the French Revolution, the United Irish Federation launched an uprising in Ireland. However, due to lack of experience in fighting and lack of confidentiality work, the money and news of the uprising were leaked, resulting in the arrest of the main leaders Ton, Tandy, Russell and others. Under such circumstances, the remaining personnel of the United Irish Federation rushed to launch an uprising.
But the United Kingdom was not my Qing Dynasty after all, so the hasty uprising naturally could not shake their rule in Ireland. The uprising was easily suppressed by the British. In order to intimidate the rebellion of Ireland, the British imprisoned in Ireland and massacred at least 70,000 Irish people.
However, the United Irish Federation is completely different from the original history. Several of their leaders have received various secret work training in the Toulon training camp, and the organizational level of the entire organization has been greatly improved. Although it is completely incomparable to the Leninist parties in later generations, after the Toulon Rectification, the United Irish Federation is no longer the club-style organization in history. Although it cannot be compared with the Pioneer, it can at least be compared with some criminal organizations in later generations.
In Toulon's study, they met Mr. Joseph Bonaparte, the spiritual tutor of the Irish Revolution. Later, after the Irish people fought bloody battles and finally ushered in independence, the first version of the currency issued by the independent Irish government used Joseph's avatar on an Irish pound gold coin.
And Joseph's greatest contribution to the independence of the Irish in Toulon was not that he provided weapons and training for the Irish, but that he helped them analyze the status quo of Ireland and pointed out the correct line of struggle that the Irish need to follow for independence:
"Most Irish people are farmers, and most of the Irish population is in the countryside. This is different from England. In England, cities are the core of the economic operation of the entire country, and the main force of England comes from cities. But in Ireland, cities are just appendices to villages. In England, if there is no city, the entire economic life will be in chaos. But in Ireland, for most people, if there is no city, how should they live or how to live. In Ireland, cities are not producers, but entire consumers. Even in a sense, in war, cities in England are the source of strength, and cities in Ireland are basically burdens.
Therefore, the Irish revolution must be a rural revolution. Whoever can control the Irish countryside can truly control Ireland. Therefore, don’t rush to attack the city, don’t rush to bear the burden of the city. What is in the Irish city? It can neither produce cannons nor small melons. The colonists will not allow it to have such ability.
In this case, let them be in the hands of the British first. Let us control all the villages outside the city, and let the British who stay in the city be surrounded by the vast Irish countryside. They can get nothing in the city, and they will have to enter the countryside, enter the territory that is beneficial to us, and fall into the vast ocean of people's war. I personally think that this is the correct route for Ireland to seize independence."
These views of Joseph were accepted by the Irish people. And at the first All-Ireland Congress of the United Irish Federation held in Toulon, it was identified as the "General Route of Revolution", which was: "The countryside surrounds the city and the armed seizures independence."
So even in the stage when the British were empty in Ireland's power, they did not blindly target the city. At the beginning, they first took advantage of the British's arrogance and eagerness to retaliate, luring them into the countryside, to the predetermined battlefield, and then concentrated their superior forces to kill, and even annihilate them.
After the British suffered a lot of losses and no longer dared to leave the strong base, the Federation began to quickly fill the gap in strength. They killed those "loved rape" who followed the British wholeheartedly, or forced them to run into the British base, thus causing the British to lose control of the entire Irish countryside.
Speaking of the cruel rule of the British in Ireland, in a sense, it was actually very helpful to the Irish Revolution. Over the years, the British have continuously plundered the Irish people and deprived their lands of the land. This has made most of the land in Ireland controlled by the English. In other words, in Ireland, most of the landlords were English, and even if they were not English, they were English lackeys.
This makes the land revolution particularly simple, because ethnic and class contradictions are very consistent here, and the ideas in the revolutionary team are very easy to unify. Moreover, once the British ruling power is reduced to the city's stronghold, land reform in the countryside is very easy to carry out. So Ireland is suddenly in a state of busy sharing land. And taking advantage of this opportunity, the Federation quickly began to establish its own organization in each village.
The British did not know nothing about these "Irish rebellious" behaviors. After all, such large-scale actions cannot be completely kept secret. However, the British did not take this matter seriously. On the contrary, they either believed that the Irish rebels did not have much power because the largest city they took was a small town; or they laughed at the rebellious "really rural local buns", and did not know that they took the opportunity to seize the city, and they were eager to divide the spoils before they won the war. This was a group of brainless worms.
"As soon as our army arrives, they will be wiped out immediately." Although in fact they are besieged in strongholds of various large and small towns, the morale of the British is actually quite good. Of course, the prerequisite is not to let them go to the countryside to sweep.
The British were not inefficient. After Congress passed the special grant, the British quickly created an army of more than 40,000 people, and then spent a month, trained for a while, and sent them to Ireland. The Duke of Norfolk became the new governor of Ireland, and he would take this army to Ireland to restore order here.
The British army landed in Dublin, and the Duke of Norfolk entered the newly restored Governor's House. He first inspected the Governor's House's defense system to ensure that the previous attacks did not take place again.
After the inspection, the Duke of Norfolk was very dissatisfied with the current defense of the Governor's Office, and he immediately issued a new instruction: First, the square in front of the Governor's Office is set as a military restricted area, and no one is allowed to enter this square without special approval. Second, some houses near the Governor's Office are too close to the Governor's Office, which is a serious safety hazard. Therefore, they should be demolished. In short, there should be no other buildings within 300 feet of the Governor's Office. Finally, the number of troops stationed in the Governor's Office must be increased to ensure safety.
