Chapter 490: , Retreat (two)

In fact, the British had already formulated a retreat plan, and began to implement this plan. The first to retreat was British civilians. Of course, most of the so-called British civilians in Dublin were wealthy people. Many people carried a small box with them when they boarded the ship and left, which also contained the Irish title deeds. Many years later, there are always people in the UK holding these land deeds and asking the Irish government to respect private property. It's as if in another time and space, some Yankees, holding the IOUs from President Yuan Yuan to borrow money, asked the Republic for money.
After these wealthy British civilians got on the ship and left, there were important supplies and various machinery. Yes, the British still had a little industry in Dublin, such as flour mills. Today, any machine is precious to Britain. So the machines in these factories were also dismantled and installed on ships.
In addition, there are railway locomotives and railroad tracks. Although these things can also be used to strengthen the defense of Dublin, but considering that they can also be used to strengthen the defense of the British mainland, these things have also been added. ferry. As for Dublin’s defense, um, didn’t we leave the sleepers behind?
After all these things have been withdrawn, the real most technical challenge comes, and that is the withdrawal of combat personnel.
In the face of an enemy's attack in front, it is very difficult to withdraw combatants. Because every time you withdraw a troop, the defense of his original position will weaken, and then taking out the place may become a weakness, and then under the pressure of the enemy, it will become the starting point of a rout.
Therefore, when withdrawing the authentic British army from any point and replacing it with the so-called "security army", you must be extremely careful. It must be ensured that this point is abandoned so as not to lead to a comprehensive defense. collapse. The weakening of defenses and even their disappearance are inevitable, but it is better for them to disappear as if they are dissolved rather than collapse like being crushed.
In order for the security forces to have a certain combat effectiveness, this is very important at this time. The British began to paint the final pie for these security forces. They told these rapists, um, at this time, they were still serving the British and had not defected to the other side to make atonement. Basically, they were "hardcore rapists." It's not that they really have Stockholm syndrome like that, they love Britain so much, and more, because the Irish opposite them don't want them.
They had committed a large number of crimes in the previous days, and these crimes made them unable to look back. If at this time, the Irish Independence Army is really willing to give them a chance to "re-behave", then they will really sell the British without hesitation. However, the Irish feel that they have done so many bad things. It would be unfair to let them go in this way. And the reason why the Irish people want to throw their heads and sprinkle the blood of the revolution is not for those three things? In the words of President Russell:
"What is our revolution for? The first is fairness, the second is fairness, and the third is fairness! If we let those guys off like this, we will destroy fairness by ourselves. So what is the meaning of our revolution? Why is it that our people, even if they shed blood and sacrifice, still want to follow us!"
Therefore, those "hardcore rapists" really have no way back.
The British told them that as long as they continue to maintain their loyalty to the British Empire, the British Empire can take them with them when it retreats.
Those "hardcore rapists" don't really believe what the British say, but they have no other way. Not to mention that the Irish are unwilling to let them go. Even if the Irish say that they are not responsible for their past, they may not dare to believe it. Too many bad things are like this.
Therefore, they have no other way except to believe in the British. Even they have to find a way to help the British deceive their "traitor".
Generally speaking, when dealing with "rapist" things, Irish people always tend to grasp the big and let go of the small. In other words, to severely punish those big beloved who have blood debts, and to treat those "little beloved ones" who are in the army or to give a way to save others.
Therefore, the soldiers of these "security forces" are likely to adopt this strategy when facing the rushing independent army:
When the Independence Army is still far away, raise the muzzle by one centimeter; when the Independence Army rushes up, directly raise its hands and surrender.
If this is the case, the British retreat will become very difficult.
But for this, the British have a way. The first way is to spread rumors.
Everything is done in advance, and the rumor is the same. The British are also worth learning in this respect. As early as the previous stalemate, the British were already using "comprehensive rumors" in order to prevent the "security forces" from stepping on two boats.
The so-called "comprehensive spread of rumors" refers to the use of various methods such as framing and framing to "spread rumors." For example, pretending to be the "security army", go to the base area to engage in the Three Lights, and then pretend to be the "independent army" and kill a certain security army.
Today, such methods are naturally indispensable. The British showed the soldiers of the
Security Army
the photos of the
Independence Army
shooting down the
Security Army
soldiers in rows and rows, and told them that the
Independence Army
hated them so much that they would never let them go.
However, this thing of spreading rumors, although effective since ancient times, has its limits, and the limits are not high. And the Irishman on the opposite side is not an idiot who doesn't know anything, they will also refute the rumors.
Although according to the second law of thermodynamics, rumours aimed at creating chaos and increasing disorder are naturally superior to rumours aimed at improving order. Therefore, later generations will spread the rumors, open their mouths, and run off their legs.
But if a person, or a force, persists in spreading rumors, and even builds one's own stability and development on top of spreading rumors. Then the situation has changed. Under such circumstances, their actions of spreading rumors are no longer aimed at creating chaos and creating disorder. Instead, they have tried to use methods such as spreading rumors to create order that meets their needs. At this time, the great second law of thermodynamics stood on their opposite side. Their actions must be very inefficient.
Just like in the later generations of Chitu, some people in the past and some foreign media can make the Chitu government very passive as long as they spread rumors, but as those guys become more and more dependent on the method of spreading rumors, they spread rumors. The effect is getting worse. Not only in the Chitu country, there was a saying that "you cannot be too CNN", even in their home country, Comrade Jianguo, also gave them a very appropriate name: "FakeNews".
Today, the British are also facing this problem.
The Irishman on the opposite set up a loud horn and spread propaganda to the soldiers of the
security army
on the opposite side, telling them that as long as they put down their weapons, they are still legal citizens of Ireland; if they can return with a gun, they are even participating in the revolution. The revolution does not matter sooner or later. It is of course good to join the revolution early, but now that you wake up and are willing to join the revolution, everyone is equally welcome. If you can seize the last chance and contribute to the revolution, it will be the revolution's hero.
In addition to shouting with loudspeakers, they also used mortars and grenades to hit propaganda singles onto the positions of the "security army", calling on the soldiers of the "security army" to seize the last opportunity and become the heroes of the revolution. .
As for how to become a "revolutionary hero", the Irish told the soldiers of the "security army" directly on loudspeakers and leaflets: "Capture alive, kill unrepentant traitors alive, and destroy important facilities of the aggressor. Spying on important information, these are all ways to become a revolutionary hero."
In order to prove the credibility of the propaganda, they also asked the guys who had surrendered before to shout in the loud speaker every day:
"Brothers of the security army, I am Roy, the original captain of the seventh squadron of the 12th Battalion. Many brothers know me and recognize me. Brothers, let me tell you guys from the Independence Army. Those are all good guys who speak up. We have been dealing with the Independence Army for so many years. When has the Independence Army spoken nothing?
Everyone knows that last month, I was with a few brothers. With the head of the ‘hardcore rapist’ Orikai, I went to liberation. Now, all of us have become liberation fighters, we have divided fields in our hometown, and I have become an officer. Brothers, the Independence Army speaks for words, but righteousness. Come here, everyone..."
The credibility of this propaganda is unquestionable. The fact that Olikai, the captain of the 12th Battalion, lost his head last month was quite a sensation, and no one in the security army didn't know about it.
Since this propaganda, um, Captain Jarvis now sees anyone who is not British and feels like he wants to shoot at himself, then cut off his head and ran across to receive the credit. of. To say that Captain O'Kelly is the enemy of Captain Jarvis, the two men once got to shoot for protection money. Just over a month ago, Captain Jarvis said to Captain Olikai very rudely: "Don’t think that the Independence Army has given you the title of'hardcore rapist', you can shake it. Now. Compared with Lao Tzu, you count as a root hair? You don't even count as a hair! You are also worthy of being called a "hardcore lover"? Are you worthy? You deserve one! Laozi is the real "hardcore lover"!"
Captain Olikai is the enemy of Captain Jarvis, as long as Captain Olikai is unlucky, Captain Jarvis will be especially happy. But this time after Captain Olikai’s head was stolen, Captain Jarvis was not happy at all, and even produced a desolation of "tragic rabbit death and fox".
For fear of encountering a pickpocket who specializes in stealing his head, Captain Jarvis, now sleeps with one eye open. Captain Jarvis never dared to put the revolver next to him when he slept, because he was afraid of going off fire and killed himself. But now, when Captain Jarvis is sleeping, he puts a loaded revolver under the pillow, and puts a revolver with an empty first shot under the blanket.
However, the British people's efforts to spread rumors have more or less effect. In addition, the British dismantled the so-called "security forces" and added a certain amount of British military surveillance, which was barely useful.
In addition to this set, it is just a temptation. The British stated that all "security forces" can be withdrawn to the British mainland because they are all "qualified British."
Of course, few people will believe it if you say so. Therefore, the British really withdrew a ship of "security forces" and left. Moreover, the British were very selective and did not withdraw the most "hardcore" "security forces". What they withdrew was just a team with relatively average performance.
Why did you withdraw such a team? The Duke of Norfolk explained:
"Why not withdraw the best-performing Security Army? It's not clear yet? Even the best performing Security Army is barely able to use it. Now it's time to use them, and we are still counting on them to give We top the tank, how can we send them away? And we sent away such a mediocre team, what would the Irish people think when they watched it? They would think that if such a team can get a chance to retreat , Then of course they can retreat better. Maybe not everyone will have this idea, but as long as some people have such a fluke mentality, we can use it and let them keep fighting for us."
"But the key is ~EbookFREE.me~ what the officers of the'security army' would think." At that time, an officer said.
"They will all think as we expected. People in desperate situations will always convince themselves, convince themselves that the guess that is best for them, so that they can feel the most comfortable, rather than the most reasonable, The most likely guess." The Duke of Norfolk replied.
Just as the Duke of Norfolk speculated, his move did have a good effect. Some "hardcore lovers" took the thinking direction he expected almost without thinking. During this time, those "hardcore lovers" The enthusiasm of the traitors has been greatly improved. They all believe that since those who have not performed as well as theirs can get a chance to retreat, then they, take a 10,000 step back, at least they themselves-not including their subordinates , There should always be a chance to retreat. The ship is so big, and the Irish Sea is still calm. The overloading of the ship is nothing serious. After loading British soldiers, British horses, and British military dogs, by the way, install a few more English-speaking military dogs should always be installed. Right?
