Fox of France

Escorted by the strongest warship in the world, Joseph arrived in Port Carroll, Ireland, where he was given a grand welcome by the top executives of the United Irish Federation, including Russell.

Before the warship entered the port, the Irish saluted 24 times to show their welcome. Although Joseph was not the head of state of any country, of course, in theory, Joseph was the Caesar of the Roman Empire. But Caesar is the deputy emperor and cannot be regarded as the head of state.

Russell personally greeted Joseph on the pier. When Joseph stepped onto the plank, the military band immediately played the "Slave War Hymn". Joseph frowned slightly. He felt a little uncomfortable listening to this song now. But he immediately returned to smiling, raised his right hand, and waved to the cheering crowd below.

Walking off the diving board, Joseph's hand and Russell's hand were tightly held together. Because he was too excited, Russell held Joseph's right hand tightly with both hands and shook it vigorously. Considering that Russell has often trained with soldiers and worked with farmers over the years. And Joseph, um, has been pampered. Therefore, just after Russell exerted a little strength, Joseph's mouth was already crooked in pain.

"La...na...Russell...Comrade...light...light...it hurts..." Joseph moaned with his mouth tilted.

Only then did Russell notice that he seemed a little too enthusiastic, so he quickly let go of his hand, and said embarrassedly: "Dean Bonaparte, I'm really sorry, I hurt you."

Joseph moved his right hand slightly, it was already like this, what else could he do? Of course I can only forgive him.

The two walked forward along the paved red carpet, and the crowd on both sides cheered them together.

The two went up to a podium together. Russell, as the host, spoke first. He first reviewed the sufferings of the Irish people under the British colonial rule, and then highly praised: "'The French Revolution sent us revolutionary ideas, and let us see the direction of Ireland's progress', as the so-called' When the sun came out to shine in all directions, the thoughts of the Great Revolution shone like gold; the sun shone warmly on the body, and the brilliance of the thoughts of the Great Revolution shone brightly in our hearts. Since then, the Irish people have had their ideas and direction in their hearts. The victory of the Irish Revolution, and The guidance of the French Revolution is inseparable.

Dean Bonaparte is not only a scientist and a general, but also a revolutionary fighter and a revolutionary thinker. He has made many contributions to the Irish Revolution, and his thoughts have saved the Union and the Irish Revolution more than once at the most dangerous time.

Dean Bonaparte not only guided us in thought, but also supported us in action. Our victory is inseparable from the victory of revolutionary France. We could not best protect our crops from English wild boars without the boar repellers sent to us by the French comrades; we could not break the British blockade without the French comrades' fleet; Nor can we gain independence and freedom now.

But our enemies are not yet completely defeated. Although they are temporarily forced to retreat to their lairs, they are still thinking about coming back again, oppressing us, and enslaving us, so we must stand firmly with our friends , completely wipe out this harmful jackal..."

After Russell's speech, Joseph also delivered a shorter speech. He first highly praised the bravery and tenacity of the Irish people, and praised the hardworking and brave Irish people. Like the French people, they are the greatest people in the world. He said that if it weren't for the great spirit of the Irish people, no amount of support and help would be able to solve the problem. "Eggs can hatch chicks because eggs have such potential. If it is replaced by a pebble, even if the hen is exhausted to death, it will not help. The Irish people's own struggle is the number one reason for independence and freedom."

Then he emphasized that the world is one, and the liberation of everyone is the liberation of more people. It is impossible for France to be an isolated island of freedom and democracy. France needs friends, friends who truly share the same goals. Ireland is such a friend, and the Irish people and the French people should be friends forever from generation to generation.

Finally, Joseph took Russell's hand, raised the two hands together, and shouted: "Long live Ireland, long live the great unity of the people of France and Ireland!"

After the speech, Joseph stayed at the "Independent Hotel" in Port Carroll. Early the next morning, he also attended the preparatory meeting for the founding of the United Irish Federation.

Because everyone decided to set the capital in Dublin, so the founding ceremony should naturally be held here. But Joseph was very opposed to this.

"Comrade Russell, you must know that in the Irish Sea, we do not have sea control. The British mines have blocked the entrance to this sea area. Our warships cannot pass, but the British warships can indeed come. If in When we were celebrating the founding ceremony, the British warships suddenly appeared and bombarded the city. What should we do?

The founding ceremony is a grand ceremony, and there will definitely be many people and friends attending it. If shelled on this occasion, it is likely that the masses will suffer huge casualties. Therefore, I think the capital of Ireland can be placed in Dublin according to the tradition, but the founding ceremony should be placed in a safer place. In addition, including central government agencies, in the short term, I mean, not in Dublin until we have the ability to ensure the safety of Dublin. We have been waiting for many years to establish an independent country, and this patience should be required. And it doesn't take too long. After Dublin's defense facilities, especially the defense facilities against the sea, are consolidated, the central government of Ireland can go to Dublin. "

Joseph's suggestion was accepted by everyone. So in the end, the location of the founding ceremony was set in Port Carroll. This is the base of the Irish independence movement. The masses here are very supportive of the revolution, and the masses are well organized. It is very difficult for British assassins and spies to get in. On the sea, there is the French fleet, and on land, there are forts built with French assistance. If the British Navy came here desperately, it would be Tom looking for a fight with Spike, definitely looking for abuse.

In addition to attending the founding ceremony of Ireland. Joseph also has a mission, which is to discuss the reconstruction of Ireland with the Irish.
