Chapter 351 The Republic of Ireland
Ireland Road is the second largest island in Europe. It belongs to the British Isles. It is located in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean, west of the Irish Isle, separated by the Irish Sea. In 1169, Britain invaded Ireland. In 1171, King Henry II of Britain established the rule of love. From 1541, the British King became the king of Ireland. In 1800, the Treaty of the Ai-British Alliance was signed, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was established, and it was completely annexed by Britain.
After the British annexed Ireland, the Irish people have never given up their resistance. Among them, the Irish Resistance Organization is the largest of many patriotic organizations that resist British rule. Since the organization and France came online, it has developed rapidly with the support of France. On 1826, France and Britain started war, hundreds of thousands of French troops landed in Britain, which severely damaged the British army, forcing the British government to transfer the troops stationed in Ireland back to the country, and also gave the Irish Resistance Organization a great opportunity. In mid-July, with the help of France, the Irish Resistance Organization armed a 5,000-man Ireland rescue **, announced an uprising in the southern Ireland city of Cork, and marched to northern Ireland.
As the British troops stationed in Ireland were transferred back to the country, Ireland's troops were extremely empty, and the remaining police forces could not resist the Irish rescue. The uprising swept across the southern part of Ireland, and the Irish rescue also made great progress. A large number of Irish people enthusiastically joined the Irish rescue. Some other resistance organizations also began to revolt one after another, but the scale was much smaller than that of Ireland's rescue.
In early August, Ireland rescued ** and captured Dublin, an important city in Ireland. In early September, Ireland rescued ** and continued to head north and conquered Belfast, an important city in northern Ireland. Since then, Britain's power in Ireland has been completely removed.
After expelling the British Irish forces, the Irish Resistance Group began to suppress other resistance organizations. Under the strong attack of the Irish Resistance Group, other resistance organizations either surrendered or were wiped out. In the end, Ireland was completely controlled by the Irish Resistance Group.
After defeating all opponents, the senior leaders of the Irish Resistance Organization began to plan to establish a country. After discussion, it was decided to establish the Republic of Ireland. Harrison, the leader of the Irish Resistance Organization, will become the first president of the Republic of Ireland, and the vice president will be Robert, the second person of the Irish Resistance Organization. As for the third person of the Irish Resistance Organization, Jamasp, will serve as prime minister of the new government. Other senior leaders of the Irish Resistance Organization will also serve as government officials.
"His Excellency Harrison, good news, French Foreign Minister Grigoo will represent His Holy Descend Andresi to attend the founding ceremony of our country." Jemasp walked into Harrison's presidential office with a happy face.
"Really? That's really great." Robert also shouted happily. If it could be recognized by France, then the status of the Republic of Ireland would be recognized by the state and society.
"When will Mr. Grigoo be there?" asked Harrison. In his opinion, it is inevitable that France recognizes Ireland. Without the full support of France, the Irish Resistance Organization would not have developed to this point today, and he himself would not have achieved what he has today. However, he believed that there is no free lunch in the world. They have gained a lot of benefits from France, and then France will inevitably gain the same or greater benefits in Ireland.
"His Excellency Grigoo has already set off. It is estimated that one week later, that is, from October 2 to 3," replied Jemasp.
"It's still time to be enough, and we have enough time to prepare for His Excellency Grigoo and the National Day," said Harrison.
"Yes, the news that Ireland is about to be founded has inspired all the Irish people, and they have been put into preparation for the celebration. I think all the preparations can be completed before October 5." Jemasp replied. He has always been responsible for the work of the founding ceremony.
On October 3, Grigoo arrived in Dublin, Harrison, Robert and Jemasp personally went to the dock to welcome Grigoo. A large number of Irish people were also organized to welcome Grigoo's arrival. Under the publicity of the Irish Resistance Organization, France was a friend of Ireland. It was with the help of France that the Irish people could drive away the British and get a chance. So at this time, the Irish people's attitude towards France was quite good.
At 10 a.m., the mail ship that Grigoo was on docking in Dublin under the escort of three "Bonapart" class warships and six "Iberia" class warships. As soon as Grigoo got off the ship, Harrison and others hurriedly met.
"His Excellency Grigoo, welcome you to Ireland." Harrison said with a smile on his face.
"His Excellency Harrison, should I call you Your Excellency the President?" Grigoo said half-jokingly.
"I dare not, I dare not. Without the help of your country, Ireland would never be what it is today." Harrison said modestly. Despite this, he was still very happy. After all, it was a very respectable thing to be recognized by the foreign ministers of a major country like France.
Seeing Harrison so sensible, Grigoo didn't say much.
After leaving the dock, he got on the luxurious carriage prepared by Harrison and others, and Grigoo was taken to a high-end hotel. Harrison and others prepared a grand welcome dinner for Grigoo. All the senior executives of the Irish Resistance Organization, including well-known figures from all walks of life in Ireland, were also invited to attend.
Two days later, on October 5, the founding ceremony of the Republic of Ireland officially began. As a French messenger sent to congratulate, after the speeches of Harrison and others, Grigoo also came to the stage to speak, which was nothing more than talking about unnutritious words such as friendship between France and Ireland. On the second day, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a notice
On October 7, in the secret conference room of the Irish Presidential Palace, Grigoo and Harrison and others held a meeting, which was the task he was shouldering this time.
"His Excellency Grigoo, please extend your most sincere greetings and thanks to His Highness Andresey on my behalf. Without the strong help of your country, Ireland would not be what it is today." Harrison said first.
"I will. Lord Harrison." Grigoo nodded. "To celebrate the founding of your country, His Majesty of our country specially prepared 10,000 rifles and 20 cannons to celebrate the founding of your country."
"Thank you, your country is so generous." Harrison smiled happily. Now Ireland's rescue of ** is developing very rapidly, but due to weapons, it has been restricted.
"By the way, Your Majesty of our country has specially selected 200 instructors to help your country train the army. I think after their training, your team's combat effectiveness will definitely be up to the next level." Grigoo continued to tempt.
"Thank you so much." Harrison had to repeat.
"By the way, Lord Grigoo, our country has a very big gap in weapons. I wonder if your country can export a batch of arms to our country?" Jemasp said suddenly.
"It's okay, just say as much as you want." Grigoo agreed immediately.
"Thank you so much. We need about 40,000 rifles and 200 cannons. There is just one problem, that is, we don't have the money to buy it for the time being. Can your country be lenient for a period of time?" Jemasp said in a little "difficult".
Grigoo was in his heart and had a lot of fun. You should know that all the weapons exported by France to Ireland were eliminated by the French army, and it would be useless to pile them there. If they could sell them to Ireland, it would be great. If they had no money, it would be fine. Just owe it first, and they would not dare to pay the debt. If they really didn't have them, they could use various mineral resources to mortgage them. So Grigoo immediately decided to sign a weapon export contract with Jemasp.
"Everyone, I actually have a big thing to discuss with you this time." At this time, Grigoo finally put the main topic on.
"Oh, what's the matter?" Harrison and others were also curious.
"That's right. Although your country has driven the British away, have you ever thought about it? Will the British be willing to fail? If one day Britain becomes stronger again, will they let you go?" asked Grigoo.
"What should we do?" Harrison asked quickly. He was still very clear about the gap between Ireland and Britain. Although Britain had almost never destroyed its country under the attack of France, given them a certain amount of time to develop, they would definitely become stronger again. At that time, Ireland would be doomed again.
Jamasp's eyes turned, and he, who had always been cunning, immediately guessed Grigo's intention.
"Now there is a rare opportunity before you. The British army has basically been wiped out by our country. If your country rushes its troops to attack Britain at this time, what kind of scene would it be?" Grigoo smiled.
"By the way, Britain was able to invade Ireland hundreds of years ago, so why can't we attack Britain now?" Harrison laughed, as if he had seen the scene of his army lying in Britain.
