- The great uprising in Moyle was another heavy blow to Fenton's government.
"The existence of the "IRA" has always been a concern for successive British governments. However, starting from the 1950s, this armed and violent organization began to experience a serious decline, and by the 1960s it had almost collapsed. However, the war gave them the best chance of rebirth.
Especially in the past two years, the development of the "IRA" seems to be unstoppable. The Fenton government tried to expend great efforts to suppress this organization several times, but as the war situation changed, the Fenton government gradually became powerless.
This has also formed a strange circle. Whether it is the Fenton government in the UK or the self-government in Ireland, as long as the "IRA" does not cause any particularly big trouble, they would rather take a lethargic attitude towards it.
The big event finally arrived.
After Colonel Tarrant refused to carry out the order to suppress, Irish President Blatter appointed Brigadier General Rolando as commander-in-chief, leading an army of 20,000 people composed of national troops and police to attack the "Irish Republican Party" led by Bert Adams. The army" carried out full-scale suppression.
Both sides stationed troops in Hisrafa, and the war was about to break out.
Bert Adams had no idea how the war would begin and how it would end. He only had 5,000 soldiers for fighting, while the opponent had a full 20,000 regular army and paramilitary forces.
Once it fails, it will be a heavy blow to the "Irish Republican Army", and Moyle's uprising will eventually end in failure.
The two sides continued to exchange sporadic fire at the beginning, testing each other's bottom line. On October 4, when the main forces of both sides arrived in Hisrafa, the war was inevitable.
Early in the morning, the government forces dispatched two armed helicopters to attack the strongholds occupied by the Republican Army, while the well-armed Republican Army responded with rocket launchers. A government helicopter was injured and managed to fly back to the base.
However, Bert Adams knew very well that this was just the beginning.
"Mr. President, Mr. Will Tinland is here."
Just when Adams was thinking hard about the war, this good news suddenly diverted his attention from the heavy work, and he personally welcomed Mr. Tingland to his headquarters. Accompanying Mr. Tingland here was a young man with a stern face.
"Because His Excellency the Baron will arrive in Ireland soon."
When Adams saw this young man, he suddenly remembered what Mr. Tingland had said to him before the uprising broke out, and his heart couldn't help but beat wildly.
The Ageless Baron - Almost everyone in Europe knows this legend: The God of Death has given the Baron eternal youth, and time has nothing to do with him.
"Mr. Adams, I have the honor to introduce you." Mr. Tingland spoke very slowly: "Ernst Alexson von Brahm!"
Adams took a long breath, Skeleton Baron, yes, the one standing in front of him is Skeleton Baron!
He owed himself: "Baron, welcome to Ireland!"
"Now is not the time to welcome." Wang Weiyi said straight to the point: "The huge government forces are on the opposite side and will launch an attack soon. Adams, if it fails, then it will no longer be a welcome, but we can only start from Get out of this land."
"Yes, Your Excellency Baron, I am so worried too." Adams said worriedly: "The enemy is very powerful. Just now, they used helicopters to attack. Although they were repelled by us, I think a new attack will be launched soon. An attack is coming soon."
"The armed forces are indeed powerful for you." Wang Weiyi suddenly smiled: "However, the weapons they use are very old, most of them are left over from World War II, and the same is true for their tanks. Rolando They have seven tanks, but they are all outdated equipment from World War II. And you are all equipped with elite weapons. In terms of weapons, they have the upper hand. The anti-tank equipment you have can completely defeat the enemy. The old armored force suffered a very heavy blow!"
If another person had said this, Adams would have just taken it as comforting himself, but the person talking to him at this time was Baron Alexon!
A myth of being undefeated on the battlefield!
"What is even more beneficial to us is that even within the government army there is complete disunity of thought" Wang Weiyi continued: "Colonel Reeves of the 8th Brigade of the National Army is one of your sympathizers. Adams First?, once the war breaks out, Colonel Reeves, who is in charge of the left-wing attack, must be unwilling to use all his strength. This can greatly reduce the pressure on our front. Concentrate all your forces and concentrate on dealing with the 7th Brigade of the National Army and the police force. . "
"Yes, Your Excellency Baron!" Adams' spirit perked up, but then he was still a little worried: "Your Excellency, Baron, I know that Colonel Reeves is a sympathizer of the Communist Party, and he has never denied this, but he is strong His family background makes it difficult for the government to replace him, and if he is forced to go into the offensive, our empty left wing will be in great danger."
Wang Weiyi smiled faintly: "Sometimes one person's strength can be equal to thousands of troops"
Adams didn¡¯t quite understand the meaning of this sentence, but he believed that the Baron must be fully prepared. £® £® £® £® £®
£® £® £® £® £® £®
At 10 a.m. on October 4, 1966, the war finally broke out.
Brigadier General Rolando, with the 7th Brigade of the National Army and the Special Police Force as the main force, under the cover of two armed helicopters and three tanks, launched a large-scale attack on the Republican strongholds.
The explosion of the bomb sounded, a string of fires rose up, and thick smoke filled the air. The once peaceful and peaceful land of Hisrafa instantly turned into a battlefield.
Under the order of Baron Alexon, Adams devoted all the Republican troops to the frontal battlefield. Just as Baron Alexson had judged, although the opponent was a regular army and paramilitary force, their old equipment and poor training prevented them from taking much advantage on the battlefield.
On the other hand, their enemy, the Irish Republican Army, uses all advanced weapons and equipment. At the same time, their combat personnel have been trained in overseas bases for a long time, and their combat quality is much higher than that of the government forces.
A more decisive point is that the mentality of both sides determines the direction of the battlefield war.
The soldiers and policemen of the government army do not have a particularly strong desire to fight. They do not seem to want to bury their lives in vain here. As for those members of the Irish Republican Army, from the first day they joined the organization, they knew exactly what their future path would be like, and they had strong faith support. They don't care about sacrifice at all for the cause that is sacred in their hearts.
The contrast in mentality is most truly reflected on the battlefield.
In the early stage of the offensive, once government soldiers were attacked, they would quickly retreat. The three tanks became their main psychological reliance. They hope the tank's armor will stop all the bullets for them.
But soon even this disappointed them. £® £® £® £® £®
The Republican Army has powerful anti-tank equipment. During the first attack, an unlucky tank was unfortunately shot. The tank that was so aggressive a few minutes ago was completely paralyzed on the road to attack. When the tank soldiers inside emerged in embarrassment, they were quickly fired upon by Republican soldiers.
In the first attack, the government forces lost one tank, killed 12 soldiers, and wounded 29 others. This made Brigadier General Rolando, who could solve all problems with one attack, feel a little worried.
The rebels of the "Irish Republican Army" are not at all as vulnerable as they thought. £® £® £® £® £®
On his right wing, the 8th Brigade of the National Army commanded by Colonel Reeves never made any move, and they did not even fire a bullet.
Rolando knew that Reeves was a sympathizer of the so-called revolutionaries, but Rolando still trusted Reeves' loyalty.
He quickly answered the call from Reeves and ordered the 8th Brigade in a serious tone to commit to the attack at 12 noon.
"A call from Rolando." Reeves put down the phone: "Mr. Tingland, the general ordered me to attack at 12 noon. I am very happy that you can take the risk to come to my headquarters, but although I sympathize ** led by Mr. Adams, but I am a soldier and I cannot betray my government."
"What makes me wonder is, what kind of government is your so-called government" Will took a sip of the wine Reeves poured for him: "You have sworn an oath to be loyal to the King of England. I Remember what the oath says, "I, solemnly swear my sincere allegiance and allegiance to the Constitution of the Irish Free State, duly established by law, and in accordance with the duties of ordinary citizens of Ireland, to the constituent countries of Great Britain and the Commonwealth of Great Britain to which it depends and accedes, to King George. His Majesty the Fifth and his descendants and legal heirs'. Ah, now Her Majesty Elizabeth II, the heir to George V, is in the politics of some conspirators.Your Majesty has gone into exile overseas, but do you want to continue to be loyal to such a coup d'etat? "
Reeves looked a little embarrassed.
Yes, every one of them has sworn such an oath, and in this sense they have all betrayed their oath.
"Mr. Tingland, I think you must understand our difficulties" Reeves sighed: "We are just soldiers, and we have no way to interfere in politics. To be honest, I am not aware of the current situation. The political situation is also very dissatisfied, but what can I do? Should I carry out a mutiny? "
"No, what you are carrying out is not a mutiny." Will said calmly: "In my opinion, you must carefully consider the future of yourself and the soldiers of the 8th Brigade. The Axis Powers' landing operation is imminent. You Do you think the Fenton government can win? No, it's clear that they are going to lose. So what do you and your soldiers do? Or do you make the right decision again? I think you should think about it carefully."
Reeves fell silent again. £® £® £® £® £®
No matter how much the government conceals it, most people are well aware of the impending failure. £® £® £® £® £® However, the situation in Ireland is somewhat special. Many Irish officials and military officers believe that this land will not be subject to war. All the enemy wants is London.
But now listening to Mr. Tinglande¡¯s words, it is obvious that the enemy is not satisfied with this.
"Don't think that the German army will only end the war by capturing London" Will's words confirmed Reeves's worries: "They will advance further. Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, all the British land, they will all enter. Do you know why? Because Baron Alexson, who is commanding this war, has maintained a friendship with Elizabeth II for many years, and he must use the war to avenge Her Majesty the Queen and Germany. I think many of us already know how shocking the Baron's revenge will be. What about you, Colonel Reeves, are you willing to fall into the Baron's vengeance?"
These words made Colonel Reeves shiver uncontrollably. £® £® £® £® £®
In most cases, Baron Alexson comes across as kind, but this is only for "most" cases. From World War I to World War II to this war, countless people have experienced the terrifying extent of the furious Baron.
Revenge from the Baron, no, he would never want to see such a terrible thing happen.
"Of course, they may not necessarily enter Ireland." Will's tone suddenly softened a lot: "If the current Irish government is overthrown and Ireland re-swears allegiance to the Queen and abides by your oath, everything will be able to There are signs of relaxation, we will respect the autonomy of Ireland and Northern Ireland, we will respect all the rights granted to you by the treaty, and we will respect your pride as an Irish people!¡±
"Where is the Irish Republican Army?" Reeves asked rhetorically: "Although I am their sympathizer, there is no doubt that after the war is over, there will be irreconcilable conflicts between us. By that time, Her Majesty the Queen will Which side are you on? Which side will your Excellency be on?"
"That is an internal matter in Ireland. We have no intention of interfering" Will replied without hesitation: "Declaring allegiance to the Queen at the same time? Or continuing the civil war? What I can guarantee is that the Queen His Majesty's army will never interfere, and the German army will never interfere. It is better to solve your own internal problems. "
Reeves nodded with satisfaction.
"I have something to give you." Will took out a letter from his pocket: "This is a letter from Her Majesty the Queen."
"Who?" Reeves couldn't believe what he heard.
"Elizabeth II."
When he took the letter, Reeves's hands were shaking a little. He never thought that Her Majesty the Queen would write to him. He never thought that this day would come. £® £® £® £® £®
¡°Elizabeth, Queen of the Kingdom of England, to the brave and capable Colonel Adelidore Reeves:
¡°In 1940, your father, Reeves Sr., was a colonel in the British Army and participated in countless wars in England and made outstanding achievements. In the Battle of Durduris, old Colonel Reeves relied on his bravery to hold his position for fifteen days. When he retreated from the front line and saw the wounds all over his body, everyone felt sorry for him. This is the greatest honor as a soldier. At that time, the royal family was preparing to award him a medal, but the noble old Mr. ReevesHowever, Johnson rejected this suggestion. He believed that medals and knighthoods should be awarded to soldiers who died fighting for England. This is the first time in the long history of the royal family that we have encountered such a situation. £® £® £® £® £® However, everyone should remember Mr. Reeves' contribution to this country and his admirable noble character. £® £® £® £® £®
"Some unpleasant things have happened to me, and I have lost control of this country, but I hope that your father's character can still live on in you, Colonel Adelidore Reeves. I hope you have inherited not only your father's bravery but also his loyalty. I hope that when I return to London, I can return the medals and titles that originally belonged to the Reeves family to you. This is a small personal request of mine, whether you're on my side or not.
I hope to see you at my palace and confer this high honor on you in the presence of all the officials of the British Empire.
Your friend Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor. In 1966, after the birth of Jesus, our king reigned for 13 years and granted us a place of exile. "
Reeves's body trembled again, and he had to use great strength to control his emotions. There is nothing more honorable than receiving such praise from the Queen.
"In 1966 after the birth of Jesus, my king reigned for 13 years and granted the place of exile." Reeves murmured: "Mr. Tingland, granted the place of exile. As a subject of Her Majesty the Queen, what else can be better than this? What hurts my heart more? I don't care about medals or titles. What I care about is inheriting my father's character. What I care about is that Her Majesty the Queen no longer has to write letters in exile. What I care about is whether I can be in Her Majesty's palace. See her."
After saying that, he knelt on one knee and said: "Her Majesty the Queen, Adelido Reeves will uphold the fine traditions of the Reeves family, and I will fight for Her Majesty the Queen!"
At this moment, Reeves no longer has any hesitation! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
