Chapter 297 is here(1/2)

Subtitle of this chapter: Who wants a vest?

…………………………………………

The baseball cap and beard didn't talk much nonsense, so he carried two pieces of "furniture" on his shoulders and walked out the door.

Our Master Yuan couldn't help but shout, "Wait a minute, two."

The cap turned around and asked, "Brother, do you have anything else?"

After pondering for a long time, he said, "Please bring me a word to Mr. Collins..."

"What's the matter?"

He said word by word: "No, I want to believe, British, Guo, man!"

One of the reasons why the Sun never set Empire became the most successful colonial empire in history is that they have very, very rich experience in colonization.

In fact, Wales, Scotland and Ireland originally belonged to the Celtics, and these three places can be said to be Anglo-Saxon colonies.

They have all experienced typical colonial processes such as conquest by force, bribery of Huairou, and cultural extinction, but the time points are different.

However, Wales and Scotland, which were "naturalized" earlier, took the Industrial Revolution train due to their innate conditions. The local Welsh wealthy families made money by relying on coal mines. Glasgow in Scotland is the center of shipbuilding and machinery manufacturing, and was once the second largest industrial city in the UK.

Ireland has always been very sad and can only be an exporter of agricultural products. Therefore, the people have a particularly strong will to be independent.

Therefore, the Anza people had a gradual colonization and gradual assimilation process on the British Isles, and the sun did not set in the future was so experienced.

The main problem of the failure of the assimilation of Ireland by the Anza people is religion.

In the fifth century AD, the Western Roman Empire began to fall apart due to its own decline and the barbarians' invasion of the west, and its territory entered an era of "teutonicization". This also has an exclusive English word, Teutonization.

The so-called Teutonic tribes were naturalized into Catholics, and established their own kingdoms, forming the Teutonic kingdom group. The Anzha people and Celtics on the British islands also Teutonic.

By the way, from an economic perspective, this is a regression. The unified empire that could have conducted free trade had to return to the feudal lords of the manor + castle due to the deterioration of public security in various places. Therefore, it was said that the Middle Ages was due to the economic regression that led to a thousand years of darkness.

In 1155 AD, Hadrian IV, the only English pope in history, issued an order to grant the rule of Ireland to the king of England.

However, it was not until 1169 that England began to invade the first year of Dublin Castle. In 1171, King Henry II of England gained supremacy over Ireland.

Most of the Irish people at that time actually accepted this sect leader. In their opinion, the British king was the legal lord sent by the Pope.

Later, Henry VIII, who turned against the Roman Catholic Church because he wanted to divorce his wife and remarry. This second-generation monarch of the Tudor dynasty was nicknamed "Wife-killing Madman". He married six wives and cut off two of them... Jing Keshou thought that he must have a common language with him.

In 1534, the British Parliament passed the Supreme Act, which stipulated that the Church of England should take the king as the supreme head of the Church of England and established the Church of England as the state religion.

But in this way, the British king lost the legitimacy of ruling Ireland.

Therefore, during the Tudor dynasty, the Irish people, who were originally dissatisfied with the colonial rule of England, continued to launch uprisings with religious war colors.

However, Britain during this period was already a pre-modern country that was transforming into a nation-state, and could easily defeat the "semi-feudal and half-tribe" buns on the Ireland Island.

In the last monarch of the Tudor dynasty, the daughter of Henry VIII, I (I don’t know how to say that Mao is also a sensitive word) put the entire Ireland under his direct rule for the first time.

During this period, English immigrants poured into the Ulster region of northern Ireland.

Henry VIII's three children, Edward VI, Mary I and IlISHA I all died out. The throne was passed to the son of IlISHA I's cousin, James VI of the Stuart family in Scotland.

The Stuart dynasty continued to colonize Ireland, and this time the Scots entered the area.

They also promoted Northern Ireland to a new education. However, one-third of the population in this area is Catholic Irish.

In addition to the above two contradictions, there are naturally class contradictions.

Henry VIII adopted the policy of "pay first and then give" in Ireland, first taking over the land to the British king, and then giving the land to those Irish nobles and tribal leaders, which directly weakened the prestige and basis of resistance of the Irish upper class.

This group of nobles also gained huge economic benefits by riding the ride-sharing in England that dominated the world. For example, Lieutenant Colonel Harold Alexander, who was born in the Irish aristocrat who duel with Yuan Yanshu, was one of them.

Michael Collins was beaten to death by his comrades next year because of the Northern Ireland issue.

The British-Iraq Treaty signed at the end of this year stipulates the establishment of an autonomous Irish state, controlling most of Ireland's population and land, and having its own army and police. However, it stipulates that this country, like Canada and Australia, is an autonomous dominant in the British Empire, with the British monarch as head of state, rather than an independent republic as most nationalists advocate.

The most important thing is that the "Irish Free State" only includes 26 counties in the west and south of Ireland. The remaining six counties as Northern Ireland remain in the United Kingdom.

Michael Collins, the plenipotentiary representative of the negotiations, was severely criticized by the radicals. Subsequently, a civil war between the treaty factions and the anti-treaty factions broke out. In the later period, the radicals pointed their finger at the Ireland's big bourgeoisie and the landlords, and became a class struggle with a little "fighting the local tyrants and sharing the land".

So the Irish Civil War became more and more bloody as it fought, and even more people died than the previous Irish War of Independence. Collins himself died in an anti-treason attack.

"Don't believe the British..." The two IRA soldiers lurking in the UK looked at each other and smiled. The beard said disapprovingly: "Hahaha, of course!"

"We're leaving, good luck, brother."

"I wish you good luck, too."

Yuan Yan suddenly sighed in her heart, hoping that you two will not die in the Irish Civil War.

In fact, if he works hard, he may not be able to stop the Irish civil war. At least he can also bring the Irish founding father.

Because the situation in Ireland really has nothing to do with the overall situation, where can they jump around next to the British?

During World War II, Ireland was the only neutral country in the Commonwealth, which was already the limit. Could it be that they could still join the Axis powers?

Moreover, Ireland is too far from Seris. According to the calculation method of the calculation of the closer the Master Ball system is to China, the more the S value increases, the S value is now barely enough.

But, but, but, what does this matter to our Master Yuan?

He wanted to do this, not really to help the Irish people become independent or just cause all the world, but...

"You guys are finally here!"

When Yuan Yan suddenly returned to the Savoy Hotel, it was already dark. He received a message at the front desk, so he broke into the restaurant without even changing his clothes.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, he met a large group of old friends, who were the main creators of "The Orphan of Famine".

"David, has the film been completed?"

"Yes, Neo." The film master who stood up to greet him shot a big suitcase beside him and said, "Fellin is all here, just waiting for you, the editor."

"This is great, I'm waiting."

Master Yuan stepped forward and hugged him, turned to look at his "lady of lovers" and said, "Lilian, you... are fat."

The big star smiled, but there were waves of light in his eyes.

He stepped forward, took off the hat she was wearing, touched her short hair that was against her scalp and said, "Your hair is growing too."

According to his script, all these girls were shaved with bald heads when they entered the workhouse, of course, to prevent parasites. However, this is quite difficult for women who love beauty.

Fortunately, these actresses shaved them without saying a word, including this big star.

Finally, Yuan Yan suddenly pulled her little hand, nodded to everyone present and said, "I lost my companion!"

He walked a few steps and turned back, picked up the big suitcase containing Philin, smiled at everyone, and hugged Lilian-Gish Yang and left.

July 10, 1921, Sunday was still bloody.

This is also the third bloody Sunday in Ireland's history.

Just today, the day before the British-Iran ceasefire agreement officially came into effect, retaliation caused by several skirmishes between the Irish Republican Army and the Royal Irish Constable in Belfast two days ago.

The revenge of Protestants and the resistance of Catholics resulted in 16 deaths (including 11 Catholics and 5 Protestants), more than 70 injured, and 161 houses burned (150 of which belong to Catholics). This is the fourth "Bloody Sunday" incident in Ireland's history.

Speaking of which, such incidents of dozens of casualties are nothing in history. But who says that white skin is precious?

This is like a madman from the United States who committed a shooting case that would make headlines in the world's media, while hundreds or even thousands of people died every day in other turbulent areas were unknown.

"I'm so angry..."

Ms. Jish, who was sleeping in a daze, touched the empty hand. She tried hard to open her eyes and found that there was no one beside the pillow. Then, subconsciously, she looked out the window, but it was covered in gray.

The long night is over and the day is coming.

Although he had no strength at all, the big star still struggled to get up, put on his pajamas, and walked out of the bedroom with his wall.

"I'm alas, why are you..."

She found that her lover had already dressed and was standing in the balcony smoking a cigar. But he was wearing very ordinary clothes today, and he was not as good as the "FAN ER" he had said before. So she asked a little strangely.

"Lilian, are you awake?"

Our Master Yuan turned around and smiled at her and said, "I was about to tell you that I had something to go out."

Lilian said a little unhappy: "You want to go out so early?"

"Yes, it's not dawn yet, there are fewer people outside."

He set out so early to avoid people's eyes and ears.

Yuan Yan suddenly pointed to the study and said, "I have edited "The Lonely Girl in the Famine". Film is on the table. You can watch it with David and the others later."

"So fast?" The big star was startled, but then he remembered the magic of her lover, so he had to pout and said, "Don't you watch with me?"

Master Yuan squatted out the cigar, stepped forward and kissed her, comforted her, "Okay, don't be willful. I'm going to find someone who can release this film in Ireland."

Lilian blinked her big eyes and asked, "Yes, I'm alas. When it comes to this question, I have always wanted to ask you, can "The Lonely Girl in the Famine" be released in Ireland?"

Although it is hard to imagine, the British review of public entertainment began in the 16th century. As early as 1543, the British government introduced norms on political and religious content in dramas.

In 1909, the UK promulgated the "Movie Act", which achieved the legality of censoring films by governments at all levels.

In October 1912, the British Board of Film Censors (BBFC) was officially established. The BBFC was originally an unofficial institution, but it soon became recognized by the British Ministry of the Interior and later evolved into the official British Film Censorship Bureau.

By the way, in addition to the movies that were prohibited from being released at that time, they were divided into two levels: U-level that is suitable for both young and old, and only A-level that is suitable for adults. Therefore, the movie rating system appeared very early.

It will not be until 1915 that the state and local governments of the United States began to establish review committees, deleting and banning films they thought were bad. As for the national censorship agency, it will not be established until next year in 1923, that is, the predecessor of the American Film Association, the American Producers and Distributors Association.
