Chapter 474: The Final Battle Against the British Colonists (2)

"...The war against British colonizers is in its final stage, and the time has come to defeat the British invaders and their lackeys once and for all. Under these circumstances, all resistance forces of the Irish people should launch a nationwide counterattack, closely and effectively cooperating with the French Republic and other allied countries in combat. The Independent Army and other people's armies should, under all possible conditions, launch extensive offensives against all invaders and their lackeys unwilling to surrender, annihilate these enemies' forces, seize their weapons and wealth, vigorously expand the free zones, and reduce the occupied zones.

We must let go and organize armed forces, penetrating deep into the enemy's rear in hundreds and thousands of teams, mobilize the people, break the enemy's supply lines, and cooperate with the regular army in combat. We must also mobilize tens of millions of people in the occupied areas to immediately organize an underground army, prepare for an armed uprising, cooperate with the Independent Army attacking from the outside, eliminate the enemy, and liberate our people.

The consolidation work in the free zones should still be given attention. We need to develop production, organize people's governments and armed forces, strengthen militia work, enhance the discipline of the troops, and uphold the united front of peoples around the world to prevent the waste of manpower and resources. All of these are for strengthening our offensive against the enemy. A new phase in the Irish National Liberation War has arrived, and all the people of the nation should strengthen unity and fight for the final victory!"

In a small courtyard in Dublin, under the dim light of an oil lamp, a young man in his twenties is quietly reading this passage to others. Since Dublin remains an occupied area and the sea route between Dublin and Britain remains closely linked—with the British laying mines in the St. George's Channel and the North Sea Channel, turning the Irish Sea between Ireland and the island of Britain into a closed inland sea—the connection between Dublin and Britain is not a concern for being cut off by the French navy.

Nowadays, Dublin is still under British rule, but in such courtyards, more and more young people are reciting this article.

In fact, even in Dublin, British rule is shaking. It is said that in the British House of Commons, a large-scale debate has occurred among several parties regarding the issue of Ireland. Some believe that the loss of Ireland has become inevitable, as the French are reportedly preparing to send their army to Ireland to fight alongside the Irish.

In the end, the British reached a consensus on this issue, which is to comprehensively retract in Ireland, only retaining a few strong, important strongholds, and Dublin is one of these strongholds.

, is now quietly approaching a small courtyard with his troops along the streets of Dublin. Recently, intelligence reported that there was rebel activity here. But the British army is now too preoccupied to deal with such matters, so the responsibility of capturing rebels has fallen on Captain Jarvis.

Captain Jarvis became a certified "hardcore British loyalist" because he tried to play both sides and was caught by the British while contacting the Independent Army. To save his life, Jarvis betrayed the members of the Independent Army he was in contact with to the British, and then, he really had no choice but to be a "hardcore British loyalist."

Now that the British regard Dublin as one of the key strongholds, strengthening control here has become a necessity, and the most important part of this is to root out Dublin's "spies."

To say that Dublin's "spies" have been too brazen is an understatement; they dared to distribute leaflets with inciting content in broad daylight on the streets. So, Captain Jarvis, based on the intelligence gathered, came here to arrest suspects with a team of "black dogs."

Captain Jarvis knows he has only one path forward, and that is to cling to the British tightly. If all else fails, he can still follow the British back to the mainland.

Of course, to receive such grace, he must work efficiently and capture more Irish rebels. Therefore, Captain Jarvis, at this time, is even more diligent in these endeavors than before.

However, what Captain Jarvis thinks does not mean his subordinates think the same. Those lower-level "loyalists" are not as staunchly without an escape route as Jarvis. So, they have already been communicating with the Irish, leaking information.
