    Moyle, 1966.

    Colonel Tarrant stretched himself. It was probably another good day today.

    From an ordinary policeman to becoming the supreme commander of the Internal Guard in Moyle, he has spent 21 years in this city.

    Twenty-one years is not a short period of time. He was born here, grew up here, and married here. This place means everything to him.

    Even if he was given a higher official rank, he was unwilling to leave the city.

    "Colonel, someone is looking for you. I heard he is your friend."

    "Oh, really?" Colonel Tarrant is a person who values ??his friends very much. No matter who he is, as long as he knows someone, he will always meet them and even go to great lengths to meet their requests.

    However, when Colonel Tarrant saw his friend, his eyes widened. He couldn't believe that he would come to Moyle to visit him in person: "Will? God, my old friend,  You actually came to Moyle."

    "Of course, we said three years ago that I would definitely come to visit you if I was free. Now, I'm just here to fulfill my promise." Will Tingland said with a smile on his face: "Why?  , my dear Tarrant, don¡¯t you even have a cup of coffee here?¡±

    Colonel Tarrant hurriedly invited his old friend to the office and poured Will a cup of coffee himself: "Hey, my old friend, the coffee here cannot be compared with that in Paris."

    "But the coffee brewed by friends is always the most delicious." Will took the coffee: "Mr. Tarrant, Moyle is such a beautiful city. As soon as I set foot on the land here, I felt that I fell in love with it.  Here it is.¡±

    "Ah, you will like it here even more." Speaking of his beloved city, Colonel Tarrant became energetic: "What I am sure of is that you will come here for vacation every year."

    Will said: "Yeah, I hope to be able to come here for vacation every year and chat with my old friends and have a cup of coffee every year, but unfortunately, I'm worried that this will be the last time I come here."

    Colonel Tarrant was shocked. He thought his old friend had a physical problem, but Will's subsequent words let him know that he was wrong:

    "Tarrant, I must warn you in advance, this place is about to become a battlefield!"

    "Battlefield?" Colonel Tarrant was startled for a moment, then reacted: "Are you talking about the upcoming landing operation by the Axis forces? Ah, to be honest, I'm not particularly worried. Their goal is mainly to target  London, not Ireland, certainly not Moyle.¡±

    Will sighed softly: "Yes, their target will not be Ireland or Moyle, but what about the IRA?"

    Colonel Tarrant stood up with a bang, and then slowly sat down again: "Will, do you have any information?"

    He knew very well that his old friend was not just a businessman. He had rich connections in various countries and even various industries, and there were rumors that he maintained a close relationship with Germany.  But even so, the French government at the time did not dare to touch him.

    Sometimes the accuracy of the information this person has is even better than what the government can grasp.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    "I think you should know Bert Adams." Will said the name slowly.

    Colonel Tarrant nodded silently: "Yes, the new leader of the IRA, a leader of the anti-government armed forces wanted by the government, is also from Moyle. It is said that he often comes to Moyle. Unfortunately,  The thing is I never succeeded in catching him."

    "Do you really want to catch him in your heart?" Will shook his head in disbelief: "No, in fact, both you and the policemen of Moyle's Internal Guard are sympathizers of Adams.  Ah, maybe not all."

    Colonel Tarrant was frightened: "Hey, Will, don't say this nonsense, otherwise it will bring us trouble. Wait, is the war you are talking about related to Adams?"

    "Yes, it has something to do with Adams." Will did not deny it at all: "A one-hit uprising is about to break out in Moyle."

    "God, thank you for bringing me this news." Colonel Tarrant said hurriedly: "I will make arrangements immediately."

    "Quiet, my old friend, you must carefully listen to every word of my words before you can make a decision" Will asked the other party to stay calm: "Of course you have the right to make any decision.  You want the suppression, but have you thought about the consequences of this? Why did Adams choose to do it??Il staged an uprising?  Because he knows this city even better than you do, he knows that there are a large number of his sympathizers here, and even there are a large number of his loyal followers in the Internal Guards you command.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  Once you attempt to suppress it, I can guarantee that Adams will get the news as soon as possible.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  As for the people of Moyle, you have no control over what choices they will make.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  "

    Colonel Tarrant sat there in a daze, without saying a word.  He admitted that what Will said was all correct. Whether in Moyle or in the Home Guards under his command, there were too many supporters and sympathizers of the "IRA" and he could not control the situation at all.

    However, he must not watch his beloved city fall into a terrible war.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    "Let me tell you what you should do" Will said slowly: "Just pretend that such a thing has never happened. Once the IRA uprising breaks out in Moyle, all you have to do is  Discipline your troops not to get involved in the fighting, neither to shoot at the IRA nor to support them. Remember, there are National Army forces nearby and that is their business if you take a stand early.  £®

    Colonel Tarrant looked at the other person blankly, carefully savoring the meaning of Will's words. He seemed to vaguely understand the true purpose of his old friend coming here.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    "Did Adams ask you to come here to convince me?"

    "No, my old friend, Adams is not that capable of inviting me." Will said with a smile: "To put it straight to the point, I came here on the commission of Baron Alexon."

    Baron Alexson?  Colonel Tarrant's expression suddenly became solemn. This name is an immortal legend.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    "Yes, I was entrusted by Baron Alexon." Will stopped smiling and said very seriously: "The army commanded by the Baron is about to launch a landing operation in Britain, and before that, he must do everything he can to  The method is to plunge the Fenton government into chaos, and if uprisings break out in Northern Ireland, Ireland, and Scotland at this time, the blow to the Fenton government will be huge. Let me tell you some truth, I do.  I met Adams and gave him maximum financial and weapon support.¡±

    Actually, Colonel Tarrant was very grateful to Will for telling him these things.  Without him, he would have been kept in the dark about the upcoming IRA uprising.  And more importantly, Will didn't hide anything about himself.  Including his support for the Irish Republican Army.

    "However, everything I did has nothing to do with the unity and independence of Ireland" Will's tone was very calm: "I was just helping Germany, or to be more precise, helping Baron Taran.  Sir, you have to make a choice, continue to be loyal to the Fenton government, or loyal to Her Majesty who is about to return to the UK? Now is your best chance. Do you think Moyle will not be affected by the war?  "Whether a war breaks out here does not depend on you, but on Baron Alexson's decision."

    Colonel Tarrant fell into deep thought.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  Whether a war breaks out here does not depend on you, but on Baron Alexson's choice.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  The baron sent Will here, perhaps to give a warning, a final warning to himself and the entire Moir.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    "If I choose to be loyal to Her Majesty the Queen, can the Baron ensure that war does not break out here?" Colonel Tarrant asked, and when he saw Will nodding, he continued: "What about Adams and the IRA he led?  What should they do? Let them do whatever they want in this city?"

    "I once said that since war cannot be avoided, then the damage caused by the war must be reduced to the minimum" Will said lightly: "Acquiescing to the Irish Republican Army's uprising in Moyle, even  Give them weapons and let them leave Moyle to fight the National Army. It will be other cities that will be harmed by the war, and it will definitely not be Moyle."

    Colonel Tarrant breathed a sigh of relief, now he fully understood what Will meant.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  It is indeed unethical to do so, and even betrays his professional ethics and conscience, but in fact, Colonel Tarrant has no other choice now, either let the war break out in Moyle, or let the war burn in other cities  .

    He took a sip of coffee, which was a little bitter, which was exactly the same as his mood at this time.  £®  £®  £®  ???£®  He never thought that one day he would cooperate with these guys from the Irish Republican Army.

    "I will do what you say, Will." When Colonel Tarrant put down his coffee, he finally made his choice: "But you have to make a promise, Adams and his Irish Republic  The army will never start a massacre in Moyle."

    "I promise!" Will replied very seriously: "I will do my best to restrain Adams and his men from committing any crimes against the city of Moyle"

    Colonel Tarrant raised the coffee cup in his hand again with confidence.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    On October 2, 1966, an event that shocked the whole of Britain broke out again: the Irish Republican Army, under the command of their leader Bert Adams, broke out in an uprising in Moyle, and immediately announced the occupation of the city to establish the Irish Provisional Army.  government and appointed himself President of the Provisional Government of Ireland.

    Bert Adams also issued his declaration on Moyle TV, which he controlled:

    ¡°My fellow Irish men and women: In the name of God and the martyrs who created the ancient tradition of national independence, Ireland, with our words, calls on her sons and daughters to gather under her flag and fight for her freedom!

    The Irish Republican Brotherhood gained its spirit of bravery in the organizational training of underground political groups, and established strict discipline in the open military organization the Irish Republican Army.  It has been patiently waiting for the right moment to reveal itself, and now that moment has arrived, and we jumped at the chance!  Supported by sons and daughters exiled by hypocritical and incompetent governments, supported by heroic European allies, but above all relying on their own strength, the Brotherhood fights with the confidence of victory!

    We declare that the Irish people have sovereignty over Ireland and can determine the fate of Ireland without restriction. This right is supreme and inviolable!  The usurpation of this right by some alien race and foreign government cannot invalidate this right, and it will never become invalid unless the Irish nation is destroyed!  Every generation of Irish people has defended the sovereignty of their nation's freedom; on many occasions over the centuries it has been defended by force of arms.  In order to continue to safeguard this fundamental right, and to once again defend it by force of arms before the world, we hereby declare Ireland a sovereign and independent nation, and we pledge our lives, and the lives of our brothers and sisters, to its freedom.  , happiness and improve its status among the nations of the world!

    The Irish Republican Army has the support of all Irish people and hereby demands the allegiance of every Irish man and woman.  The Republic guarantees religious and civil liberties, equal rights and opportunities for all citizens, and is determined to pursue the happiness and prosperity of the entire nation and every part of it, to care for all future generations equally, and to forget the past carefully constructed by some foreign government.  , separating the differences between the minority and the majority.

    Until the time comes when our powers can establish a permanent national government, representative of the whole people of Ireland, and elected by all the men and women of Ireland, a provisional government is here to be formed, with full authority over all the affairs of the republic, under the confidence of the people.  Civil and military affairs.

    We place the cause of the IRA under the protection of the Most High Lord and ask Him to bless our struggle.  We also pray that no one may dishonor it through cowardice, cruelty, or robbery in the service of this cause.  In this supreme moment the Irish nation must prove by her courage and discipline, and by the determination of her sons and daughters to sacrifice themselves for their common good, that she is worthy of her Manifest Destiny.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  "

    This declaration resounded in Moyle, in Ireland, and throughout Britain.

    The Irish government and the Fenton government soon fell into chaos. The order to suppress was quickly passed to Colonel Tarrant, but Colonel Tarrant quickly rejected the order.  In his reply telegram he said:

    "We have no way to suppress it, because if we suppress it, it will suppress the entire people of Moyle I think everyone should come to Moyle to see the people here, Adams and his fanatical supporters  The Provisional Government, even among the House Guards under my command, contained many followers of Adams, and I was losing control of Moyle."

    Colonel Tarrant¡¯s attitude was something the Irish government had not expected.  They had to urgently mobilize the National Army stationed near Moyle to attack.

    At the same time, Colonel Tarrant also refused the appointment of Prime Minister granted to him by Adams's Provisional Government.  He told Adams clearly: "I sympathize with your ongoing rebellion, but this does not mean that I will also join you. I will not suppress you, and I will not join your army. Internal Affairs  The Guard will adhere to its consistent principles of neutrality, impartiality and equality."

    "I am veryI understand your difficulty, Colonel Tarrant.  Adams did not force the other party. The fact that the Internal Guard did not suppress him had actually helped him a lot: "But after the victory of the Communist Party, I still hope that you can accept this position that will always be reserved for you."  "

    "Thank you for your trust in me, Adams." Colonel Tarrant did not address the other party as "President": "The National Army will arrive at Moyle soon. My only request is that the war does not break out in Moyle.  This place should not be invaded by war, and this beautiful city should not be allowed to bleed, so please send your troops out to meet those national troops."

    Adams hesitated. Once his army left Moyle, God knew what terrible things would happen.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    But Will, who had been silent at this time, suddenly said: "Mr. President, I will ensure that Moyle will always be under your control, unless your army suffers a disastrous defeat or you yourself die on the battlefield."

    Hearing Mr. Weir's assurance, Adams' heart was relieved: "Colonel Tarrant, I respect you and also respect this city. I will leave Moyle with my brave and capable soldiers."  Fight, and your job is to keep the city safe."

    "I think I can definitely do this." Colonel Tarrant was relieved: "When you come back, Moyle will still be your Moyle."

    This was a political compromise, both for Adams and for Colonel Tarrant.  Or, to be more precise, there was a temporary and uneasy alliance between Adams and Colonel Tarrant.

    This alliance will continue to change as the war progresses, and no one knows what the future will be like.

    But this alliance is a new blow to the British Fenton government!  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
