Chapter 792 Irish Volunteers

In Britain, there has always been a problem. Britain had almost conquered the entire world at its most powerful period, but they did not conquer a nation that was close to them.

This is Ireland, so the British hate Ireland very much. There was even a saying that Ireland is just a piece of shit that God pulled next to Britain.

It is conceivable how bad the UK's attitude towards Ireland is.

From the earliest days to BC, the Irish islands were indeed the past by the British people. After a long period of development, the current Irish nation was formed, but they had not yet established a unified country.

After Britain rose, he was of course drooling about the land around him. After many wars, in 1542, King Henry VIII of England became the king of Ireland. During this period, wars against British colonization occurred in many places in Ireland, but there were no effective results.

By 1801, the Kingdom of Ireland and the Kingdom of Great Britain were unified, and Ireland was incorporated into Britain.

Afterwards, the Irish independence movement began, and in 1916, the "Easter Uprising" broke out in Dublin.

In 1919, it was even more meaningful. At that time, most of the Irish MPs who were elected in the 1918 general election refused to serve in the British House of Commons. They formed the Irish Parliament on their own and issued the unilateral declaration of independence in January 1919 in the name of the independent "Republic of Ireland".

Of course, the UK would not agree. As a result, after several years of fighting, the UK was forced to allow love to establish a "free state" in the 26 counties in the south, and the six counties in the north still belong to the UK.

After all, when I was immigrating, a large number of Scots arrived in Northern Ireland, and at least some of them were taken root. In this way, the full name of Britain became the United States of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which was almost a shame to the empire.

Although southern Ireland was independent, they did not give up the opportunity to continue fighting. They wanted to unify Northern Ireland and become a country.

Even in later generations, the anti-government forces in Northern Ireland have always been an unstable factor in Britain.

Now, Ireland in the south has just been independent for a while, and I hope to merge the Ireland in the north.

Especially now, Britain is in turmoil and is about to be occupied by Germany. In this case, can the Irish people not move?

Now, all British colonies respond to the government's call and organize their troops is just like serving the king and saving the country. However, how credible is the arrival of the Irish people?

Churchill didn't believe it.

Churchill, who ran away, came to the temporary palace panting, and here, George VI was warmly meeting several leaders of the Irish Volunteer Army who had arrived.

"His Majesty, I am from Simis County, and my name is Joseph Marali. When I heard the news that the Germans had landed in Britain, I could no longer hold it back, so I took my dozens of soldiers to detour Northern Ireland and came to Britain, and I hope to contribute my strength to defend Britain."

Marali was a lieutenant in his thirties. His face was covered with wheat-colored skin that was often sun-drinked, and his expression was serious.

"Thank you very much for your support for the Empire." Churchill had already walked in and he immediately said, "Aren't you afraid of Oscars?"

Oscar Trainer, Ireland's Minister of Defense, should be bound by him, and just after the war broke out, the Irish government clearly stated that they would strictly abide by neutrality.

This is simply so angering. Almost all the members of the Commonwealth support Britain without hesitation. Ireland, which is only one strait from Britain, actually wants to remain neutral!

Although there are many barriers between Britain and Ireland, now that Britain is facing a life and death, there are still people with general knowledge. Over the years of British education, these soldiers are still loyal to the king.

"If we fail, we will all die on the battlefield. What are the Oscars that we are afraid of? If we win, we should be welcomed like heroes." Maralli said.

He did not expect that in history, after World War II was victorious and Germany failed, these Irish soldiers who came to reinforce Britain were not welcomed by heroes.

They were treated as deserters.

Historically, by the end of the war, a total of 60,000 Irish people served in the British army, including thousands of Irish armed forces.

These soldiers account for about 1/6 of the total number of Irish troops.

After returning to China, these people were treated as deserters, and about 5,000 people were found guilty by the military court. Marali, who was in front of him, sacrificed his life on the Normandy front in 1944, and even if the body returned, he was convicted.

"I am very moved by your understanding of justice. I believe that we will definitely win this victory in the victory of the national presidency." George VI spoke very slowly, not letting his stuttering problem appear, which is definitely a timely help.

He stood up and walked towards these outstanding Ireland youths. He wanted to shake hands with each other and show his approachability.

During the period when London was bombed, George VI often did this, which made the king's reputation spread throughout London and the entire country.

The king is with them and fights against the war together!

At this moment, Churchill felt something was wrong. In London, it didn't matter how the king showed his favor with the people. After all, the people in London were bombed and they were all credible.

But now, these Irish people have just come over and say a few words of loyalty, can they get close to George VI?

Of course not suitable!

Churchill was embarrassed to say he could stop him. After all, these people came here at risk, so it would not make people feel cold.

So Churchill could only take a few quick steps forward and blocked his body in front of the king.

And at this moment, the inconspicuous Irish civilian sitting at the back, followed the civilians who came to participate in the military battle, just raised a pen in their hand and pointed the tip of the pen towards George VI.

"Bang." A gentle sound appeared, not loud. A small flame appeared on the tip of the pen. In an instant, everyone understood.

"Ax!" Maralli shouted, then quickly reached out his arms, raised his hands, and pushed his knees hard on the other party's lower abdomen.

I really didn't expect that when he was in Northern Ireland, the leader of a private squad was temporarily joined by his side, and he was actually an extremist! He came here just to be detrimental to the king!
