Subtitle of this chapter:To be, or not to be - that is the question

“Emon de Valera, Interim President of the Republic of Ireland
Call
His Majesty George Frederick Ernst Albert, King of the United Kingdom:
For thousands of years, your country has invaded our country, slaughtered our tribe, occupied our land, seized our food, destroyed our literature, and changed our religion. The tribe has not been as rich as possible. Until today, atrocities have been heard.
The past is over. In order to eliminate the grudges that are precious to me, to reconcile the friendship between the two countries, and to make the London negotiations go smoothly. We hereby invite His Highness Your Highness the Prince of Wales and His Highness the Prince of Wales and His Highness the Prince of the Empire of Japan to come to Dublin to attend the premiere of the movie "The Orphan of Famine".
The day of etiquette is the time when the two high men return to the east.
Provisional Government of the Republic of Ireland
July 25, 1921”
His Majesty George V finished reading this telegram with polite words and handed it to his wife and cousin.
At the same time, members of the British Empire's cabinet also circulated copies of the telegram.
“…”
“…”
In the magnificent Buckingham Palace and in the grand conference hall, there are the outstanding high-end officials and prominent people, silently.
Because everyone who counted down from George V felt that their cheeks were a little uncomfortable, not pain but numbness.
It felt like a strong man slapped dozens of big mouths, so painful that he couldn't feel the pain.
"I (WE)..."
After a long time, George V finally spoke.
This former Royal Navy officer nicknamed "Sailor King" was quite straightforward: "I am tired. Prime Minister, you can do it."
As he said that, he took the queen away with him.
"Greatly send your Majesty!"
After sending the British king and his wife away, the people in the hall focused their attention on Prime Minister Lloyd.
At this time, the British Prime Minister did not think about what to do, but he was the Prime Minister after all, and he had subordinates to consult (take the blame).
So he pointed at Winston Churchill and asked, "College Minister, what do you think?"
Here we want to explain that the Secretary of State for the Colonies, as the name suggests, is an important official in charge of the State for the Colonies.
But not all colonies are managed by this person. India and Myanmar are managed by the Ministry of India, and protected countries such as Egypt are linked by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In the 1960s, the British Empire had no colonies and no "colonial affairs" when it was blown away by rain and wind. This department was merged with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Winston Churchill served as the Minister of Colonial Affairs, and his most important responsibility is to preside over negotiations with the Irish.
OK, now he can't do it if he doesn't speak.
Churchill has been elected as a member of parliament since 1900. It has been twenty-one years since then, and he is still a mature politician.
It is precisely because he is a mature politician that he can see that this telegram is very powerful.
The reason is that the Irish people stand on the moral high ground from beginning to end in this telegram.
That's right, they did admit that the two crown princes were in their hands. But they only said invitations, not kidnapping.
Now the whole world knows that the kidnapper group called the "Hivar Legion" is composed of Chinese people. Now it falls into the hands of the Irish people for unknown reasons, so the Irish people have not violated the ceasefire agreement between Britain and Ireland.
Besides, even if they did it, such invitations were nothing compared to the atrocities of the British in history.
The most important thing is that the other party did not make any unreasonable requests, but just asked the two crown princes to attend the premiere of a movie.
Of course, the subtext is that this movie will definitely be released in Ireland.
The problem is that Churchill is not a novice who doesn’t understand history. Which famine can this Famine in "Famine Girls" talk about?
Could it be that the South Asian subcontinent suffered the major famines in 1770, 1783, 1866, 1873, 1892, and 1897.
Just talking about the Great Bangladesh famine in 1770, roughly 10,000,000 people died...
You read that right, there are indeed 7 zeros, which is 10 million people!
Ironically, the East India Company's revenue in 1771 after the famine began was higher than in 1768.
Of course, these famines must be the fault of the Indian people.
Because Churchill himself has a famous saying, "I hate Indians. They are cruel people and have barbaric religions. Famine is their own fault, and they breed like rabbits."
The "Four Big Ones" in World War II said this, can there be any mistakes?
So when the famine broke out again in Bangladesh in 1943, he sent the medical aid and food that should have been supplied to the local area to Europe.
The Delhi government sent a telegram depicting the horrific scenes of the disaster and the huge death toll. Churchill's only reaction was: "Why is Gandhi not dead yet?"
But I think like Churchill, the Irish people would not care about the South Asian subcontinent thousands of miles away. This Famine must be the Great Irish Famine in 1848.
This telegram is actually using the lives of the two crown princes to threaten the British government, and to let a movie describing the Irish famine be released in Ireland at a critical moment in the negotiations between Britain and Ireland.
Isn't this adding fuel to the fire?
But, but, can he say "NO"?
If the two princes were torn to vote by the Irish because he refused this request, what political future would he have? But on the other hand, if he agreed to this request first, the British-Italy negotiations would break down and he would become a scapegoat.
Why did George V leave the stage immediately after reading the telegram?
Why did Prime Minister Lloyd ask for his opinion without making arbitrary decision?
Don’t they just want someone to say “YES” for them?
After counting, isn’t he the Minister of Colonial Affairs in charge of Ireland the most suitable person to speak this word?
"Star, Prime Minister, I, I, my opinion is, yes, yes..."
The famous great orator in history stammered, "First confirm with the other party whether the two princes are really in their hands."
There is no father and son in politics, and there is no friend.
The British themselves say that there are no eternal enemies or friends, only eternal interests.
Prime Minister Lloyd asked without hesitation: "Minister of Colonial Affairs, what if it is true?"
"Then, then, then promise them!"
After saying this, Churchill sighed dejectedly and shrank into his seat.
The sunset was scattered on him, and he looked like he had become a teenager in an instant.
"The opinion of our Minister of Colonial Affairs is to promise them."
The British Prime Minister deliberately repeated it, turned to other cabinet members and asked, "What about your opinions?"
Marquis Curzon looked at Churchill with sympathy and shouted: "Superview!"
"Address!"
"Address!"
“Additional…”
"Since everyone agrees with this opinion..." Prime Minister Lloyd nodded, "Then send someone to contact Ireland first to confirm the situation of the two high men."
"Minister of Colonial Affairs, this matter is left to you. After all, this is your job."
"Chasp, choke, choke to death, Premi pinste."
