Chapter 166: , Peace and business (four)

It is really good to say that the French government pays the money. The money is given quickly and it is very easy to negotiate the price. Do you know the characteristics of French government procurement? Just choose the expensive one for everything, don’t be right, even if it’s a coffee cup, buy the most expensive one. As long as you dare to bid up the price, even if you set a price of 1,500 francs, they dare to buy it. However, they are not happy when the price of things is cheaper, because it is not easy to keep accounts.
In contrast, the Poles are much more stingy. They buy a revolver, a simple version without rifling, a "little melon", a civilian version without a groove, and a landmine. They only buy fuses, not even explosives. To buy, I would rather go back and chisel the stone yourself.
　　 So ship after ship of weapons was continuously sent to Ireland, and at the same time, members of the Irish Resistance Organization also continued to come to France to receive special operations training.
　　 Although the French government paid the money simply, they are also anxious to see the effect of their investment. And they hope to see extremely shocking effects. Only in this way can there be sufficient reasons for additional investment.
　　 On the morning of May 7, 1797, as the sun rose, Dublin City gradually woke up in the sun as usual. There are gradually more people on the street. On the square in front of the Governor's Mansion, the British army was changing defenses as usual, and in the Governor's Mansion, Governor Anderson Russell, Duke of Bedford, was listening to the report from the Sheriff Darcy.
　　 "Are you saying that some rebels are actively active, and they may have received help from France?"
"Yes, Your Excellency, some time ago, our patrol found traces of fires under some cliffs on the west coast. And sometimes a large number of footprints were found on the nearby beach. Your Excellency, we It is believed that these fires are used to communicate with ships at sea at night, and these footprints indicate that either a lot of people have landed here, or a lot of things have landed here. You know, the Governor, Ireland does not There is nothing that is vital to France and needs to be smuggled strategic materials, so I suspect that this is the French who secretly help those rebels."
"Darcy," said the Duke of Bedford, "I just noticed that you said that you found traces of fires'under some cliffs', and sometimes you can find footprints. In other words, someone secretly found it at night. You are doing something illegal. You suspect it is related to the rebels. So, what action have you taken?"
　　 "Mr. Governor, the soldiers are very resistant to action at night. It is not safe to go to these areas at night and it is prone to accidents." Darcy replied.
　　 "What's the accident? Was it an attack?" The Duke of Bedford's eyebrows twitched.
　　 "Yes, Your Excellency, you know that the security in those places has not been very good."
"These Irish guys. Well, I know that this situation is not a day or two, and I can't say that the responsibility rests with you. Well, Darcy, you report these things to me, hoping to get from me What help do you get?"
"I think to contain this situation, we must rely on the power of the navy." Darcy said, "I know that if the French are doing ghosts, they must use the kind of flying shears. Under normal circumstances, our warships are These ships cannot be intercepted. But I think they always have to stop when loading and unloading cargo. If our navy can show up at this time, maybe we can catch them."
"Darcy, you think well." For Darcy, who is also a British nobleman, Duke Bedel has always been very kind. In many cases, he treats this young man as his nephew. "Actually, Haiphong Na Bian is already doing something like this. It's just that the coastline is too long, and their manpower is limited, and they have never gained much."
　　 "Then, Sir, can you increase the number of ships? Let the navy..."
　　 "Darcy, I told you a long time ago that you must consider the problem as a whole. You can't just look at the things under your nose. Do you always want to stay where you are now?"
　　 "Your Excellency Governor..."
"Darcy, you know that the Spaniards are now on the French side. Our navy has a small advantage over the enemy's navy. In order to restrict French trade, our frigates must also be in France. Coastal cruising. Although they could not intercept the French flying shears, the number of French flying shears was also limited. Therefore, they really suppressed the French's maritime capabilities. If the cruiser force is mobilized, It is necessary to consider the impact of the restoration of the French maritime power. If the main fleet is to be used, it is even more important to consider what the French and Spanish fleets will do. In short, this matter..."
　　 Two people were talking, but suddenly there was a loud noise outside.
　　 The entire governor's mansion shook in this loud noise, and the glass on the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the office was shattered to the ground in an instant. Although the chair on which the Duke of Bedford was sitting pressed a fat man like the Duke, he suddenly jumped up high. But Darcy who was standing there softened his feet and sat directly on the ground. From the ceiling, there was also dust falling down. The Duke’s desk and the Duke’s hair were suddenly covered with dust.
　　 "What's the matter? What's the matter?" The Duke of Bedford stood up with his hands on the armrest of the chair.
　　 "I'll see..." Darcy also got up from the ground.
　　 At this time, a series of gunfire came from the direction of the gate.
　　 "It's a rebel!" Darcy made such a judgment immediately, drew his pistol, and headed toward the front door. The Duke of Bedford took off his wig, shook the dust, and tidied his appearance.
The gunshots outside became more intense. After a while, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door. Darcy slammed open the door and rushed in: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, you must leave immediately. The rebels rushed in. , We can't stop it!"
　　 "What?" The Duke of Bedford shook his hand, and the wig he had just put on again fell to the ground...
　　 Let us set the time back a little bit. While the Duke of Bedford was still educating Darcy to look at the problem from a higher position, a beautifully decorated four-wheeled carriage was slowly appearing on the square outside the Governor's Mansion.
　　 This kind of four large horse-drawn carriages is not uncommon in Dublin, and its owners are generally big figures from England. The carriage gradually approached the Governor's Mansion, and was slowly slowing down, as if it was about to stop to accept the guard's questioning.
　　 The carriage gradually walked to the gate of the Governor's Mansion, stopped, and several guards greeted him, ready to come up to inquire. But at this moment, the carriage suddenly exploded.
　　 This stolen carriage was loaded with a full 150 kilograms of nitrated starch. Driven and controlled by an Irish warrior determined to sacrifice for the country. This car of explosives blasted the surrounding soldiers, as well as the entire gate of the Governor's Mansion and the guards' barracks near the gate.
　　 With the explosion, some people who had been wandering far away suddenly pulled out the revolvers and Bonaparte melons hidden in their clothes and rushed towards the Governor's Mansion.
The guard camp of the Governor’s Mansion is right next to the gate, which caused many guards to be killed or seriously injured in the initial explosion. The defense force of the entire Governor’s Mansion was almost wiped out by half. What’s more, the front of the Governor’s Mansion The defensive force was almost completely wiped out by the explosion.
　　 Sean held a revolver in each hand and rushed into the Governor's Mansion first. I saw a British soldier who was dizzy by the explosion, struggling to get up from the ground. Without saying anything, Xiao En shot the hapless man with a single shot, and continued to rush inside.
　　 A group of Irish revolutionaries followed him and charged in. They shot at anyone else who could move, whether he was a soldier, a waiter, a man or a woman.
Occasionally, a few soldiers who came from farther away shot at them, but they were soon dropped to the ground by dozens of revolvers, or they were blown up by small melons flying from nowhere. On the ground. These people simply cannot stop the advance of the Irish.
Darcy took the Duke of Bedford and fled towards the back door~EbookFREE.me~ Just as they ran to a place near the back door, there was the sound of revolver gunfire and Bonaparte from the back door. The explosion of the cantaloupe.
　　 Darcy led the duke to escape to a drain. The drainage ditch passes through the wall and leads to the outside. The water in the drainage ditch is so shallow now that it seems to be able to drill out from here.
　　 "Your Excellency, the situation is very urgent, we must get out of here." Darcy said.
　　 "I'll come first!" The Duke of Bedford didn't care about aristocracy at this time. He knew how much Irish bandits hated him, and what would happen if he fell into the hands of these thugs.
　　 The Duke of Bedford jumped into the drain first, got down and crawled outside. But he was a little too fat, and got stuck in the middle of climbing.
　　 "Darcy, Darcy, come and push me!" shouted the Duke of Bedford.
　　 Then he heard someone jumping into the ditch from behind, and then he felt a thrust on his butt, and then... he was stuck tighter.
　　 "Push harder, harder! Ah... just like this, Darcy, harder, harder!" The Duke of Bedford yelled while enduring the pain in his body.
However, at this moment, there were a few gunshots, and then the Duke of Bedford felt that the thrust on his disappeared. He knew it was not good, so he quickly redoubled his efforts to struggle outside. Next, he seemed to go a little further, the widest belly seemed to have finally passed the narrow opening... But at this moment, a few hands grabbed his feet...
