Dublin, the largest city in Ireland. After a war, half of the city has become ruins. However, the Irish people in the city did not feel sad because the city turned into ruins, but instead smiled happily. Because this means that an old era is broken and a new era will bring curtains. The destruction now is just for recreation.

Most of the 200,000 British troops who were standing here surrendered to the Imperial Army. Therefore, it was not difficult for the Imperial Army to seize Dublin, and the battle between the two sides was not fierce. Even the warships anchored on the sea had not opened fire, otherwise the entire Dublin would have been ruined. After all, the Imperial Army had always believed in firepower when fighting. If they could win with powerful firepower, there was no need to fill in the lives of human beings.

However, because Dublin is the largest city in Ireland and the capital of the Republic of Ireland in the future. Therefore, Viscount Fycharen and Brian, the leaders of the Irish independence movement, both hope that the Chinese army can show mercy and not destroy the city. Of course, in order to reduce casualties by the Chinese army, the Irish independence movement and the James Party also exerted great influence. Many of the British officers and soldiers stationed in Dublin directly surrendered to the Chinese army. This directly led to loopholes in the British defense line one after another, and the Chinese army could easily invade Dublin and eliminate the stubborn British army.

Admiral Edward Blackney, the commander of the British Army stationed in Ireland, was also unable to escape. After the fall of Dublin, the general attempted to lead some remaining troops to break through the blockade of the Imperial Army and fled to the northern part of the Ireland to continue fighting. However, he failed. In the face of powerless resistance, he had to surrender to the Imperial Army.

The surrender of General Edward Blackney caused the remaining British troops in Ireland to lose unified command. They could only contact the Ministry of War in London through telegram and obey the Ministry of War. However, the Ministry of War far away in London would definitely not be able to respond in the most timely and quickly. Coupled with the influence of the Irish independence movement and the James Party, the British army often descended wherever the Imperial army went. It is estimated that in at most half a month, the Imperial Army would be able to capture the entire Ireland Island, which was half less than the Imperial Army had expected.

The Dublin City Hall is a well-preserved building in the city. In the conference room of the city hall, leaders of the Irish independence movement and the James Party and senior figures gathered here. After taking Dublin, they could not wait to discuss the establishment of the Republic of Ireland. Lieutenant General Zhong Wenquan, commander of the 13th Army of the Chinese Army, also attended the meeting as a representative of the Chinese Empire. After all, the reason why the Republic of Ireland was established was inseparable from the support of the empire. Without the empire, the Irish people were still under the oppression of the English.

In addition, according to the agreement reached by the two sides, the territory of the Republic of Ireland will also include Wales in addition to Ireland. Now, Wales is still under the control of the British government. If the Republic of Ireland wants to rule Wales, it will have to wait until the imperial army destroys Britain. Under such circumstances, the Republic of Ireland will be even more unable to leave the support of the Chinese Empire.

Lieutenant General Zhong Wenquan sat in the conference room, closing his eyes to rest. It seemed that the noisy conference room could not affect him.

In the conference room, the Irish independence movement is competing with the James Party for some power positions in the future Irish Republic. Although, due to the support of the Chinese Empire, the Irish Republic will mainly control the Irish independence movement. The president and prime minister of the Republic will have people from the Irish independence movement to take office. However, the James Party also has a great influence on the Irish Island. This time, the Imperial Army landed on Ireland, and they also made great efforts. They should reward them for their feelings and reason. Therefore, the Empire also acquiesced to the James Party to share some of its interests in the future Irish Republic.

Of course, this is mainly because the Empire did not want the Irish independence movement to dominate. In the future, the Republic of Ireland and the Kingdom of Scotland will become important pawns to curb Britain's re-development and growth. The Empire naturally wanted to firmly control the entire Republic of Ireland. Especially once Wales was included in the rule of the Republic of Ireland, the strategic position of the Republic of Ireland would be even more important.

Although, before, the Irish independence movement and the James Party were still considered allies, now it is time to share the cake, no one is willing to give in.

"Everyone, have you not discussed it yet?" The discussion and quarrel in the conference room lasted for two hours, but there was no sign of ending, which made Lieutenant General Zhong Wenquan a little impatient.

"Your Excellency General, I'm so embarrassed. Please give us some more time!" Viscount Ficcharen said quickly.

Even though Viscount Filcharen is about to serve as president of the Republic of Ireland, he is still very respectful in front of Lieutenant General Zhong Wenquan. He is sophisticated that he naturally knows that the Republic of Ireland will not be established if it leaves the support of the Chinese Empire. And he, as a president, also needs the support of the Chinese Empire to consolidate his position.

"Your Excellency Viscount, Your Excellency Brian, Your Majesty Francesco I, let's go to the small conference room to discuss it! If you continue to argue like this, there will be no result!" Lieutenant General Zhong Wenquan said directly.

"Okay, General!" Brian nodded.

Francisco I had no objection either.

In the small meeting room, several people sat around the coffee table, and staff had already brought them coffee.

Lieutenant General Zhong Wenquan said after drinking a cup of coffee: "Everyone, there is no objection to the President of the Republic of Ireland in the future, is Viscount Filcharen?"

Both Brian and Francisco I shook their heads. As the leader of the Irish independence movement, Brian's status was comparable to Viscount Ficcharen. However, Viscount Ficcharen had a great influence in the upper class, and Brian's influence was mainly in the lower and middle class. Viscount Ficcharen became president and he served as prime minister, which did not make him dissatisfied.

As for Francisco I, he would be the king of the Kingdom of Scotland, and naturally he would not serve as a senior official of the Republic of Ireland. The focus of their debate was mainly the chief officials of various government departments of the Kingdom of Ireland. In particular, the three positions of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Army and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were the focus of everyone's competition. As for the Navy, let's forget it! With the financial resources of the Republic of Ireland, I can't play with the Navy at all.

The Irish independence movement attempted to include the three important positions of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Army and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in its own hands. But the James Party disagreed. In this case, the entire Ireland Republic will be controlled by the Irish independence movement and the James Party will eventually be gradually marginalized. Even if the James Party is about to acquire a Kingdom of Scotland, they are unwilling to give up the Irish Republic.

After all, in Ireland, the influence of the James Party is no worse than that of the Irish independence movement.

"God General, the James Party also played a huge role in the battle against Ireland. Therefore, I think that the James Party should not be excluded in the government of the Republic of Ireland! Since the president and prime minister of the Republic of Ireland are all appointed by people from the Irish independence movement, then in the choice of the heads of the government's ministries, we should naturally lean towards the James Party!" Francesco I said with confidence.

Zhong Wenquan looked at Francisco I and did not express his opinion. He was not a fool to be able to become a lieutenant general of the Imperial Army and command an army of more than 100,000 or more. The Imperial Military Intelligence Agency also wrote very clearly on the investigation report of Francisco I. This guy is also an ambitious person. What he wants is not just a king of the Kingdom of Scotland, but a king of the entire Britain.

If the James Party can maintain a great influence within the Republic of Ireland and even hold certain power within the government of the Republic of Ireland, then this will be very beneficial for the James Party to unify the entire UK in the future.

"His Majesty Francisco I, the Irish independence movement did not exclude the James Party. We are also considering the future of the Republic of Ireland. The James Party is about to win the Kingdom of Scotland, and the Republic of Ireland should be controlled by the Irish independence movement. Our two countries are also important allies in the future, and we will jointly deal with the threat from the English people." Viscount Ficcharen said.

Zhong Wenquan pondered for a while, and then said: "The main ruling area of ​​the James Party is the Kingdom of Scotland. The newly established Kingdom of Scotland will not only include the original Scotland, but also the northern part of England. This area is enough to use it to accommodate the James Party."

Zhong Wenquan's words made Viscount Fycharen and Brian very satisfied, which meant that the Chinese Empire had recognized the control of the Irish independence movement over the Republic of Ireland.

But Francisco I was not very good-looking. However, he then hid the anger in his heart. He also knew that now is not the time to fall apart with the Chinese Empire, and even in the future, the Kingdom of Scotland could not offend the Chinese Empire. The Empire could allow him to be the king of the Kingdom of Scotland, and he could be another person at any time.

On July 21, 1855, the Republic of Ireland was officially established, Viscount Ficcharen became president of the Republic of Ireland, and Brian became Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Ireland. (To be continued...)
