Rebirth of England

After spending two more days with the Hearst sisters at Belu Castle, Barron sent them back to the United States.

Although during this period, Barron could feel that both sisters wanted to go further with him.

But there are really too many things that Barron has to face recently. For the time being, he is not in the mood to embrace each other. He can only make private comments to the two of them. Well, he has a good impression of them, but due to moral constraints, he needs to Control your posture.

In this regard, Barron calls himself a "green tea man"...

As for Alia, after Nigel flew to Asia to personally confirm whether the information she said was accurate, Barron sent two female security personnel to guard her 24 hours a day, and strengthened the security of Belu Castle. After that, he left here temporarily and went to London to deal with things.

Before leaving Northern Ireland, Barron also took time to meet with some members of the local parliament.

The British base of the Protector Military Company is located at Fort Ruby, and it will also expand in size in the future. The entire base will almost double the area around Fort Ruby.

Because in addition to continuing to provide training for personnel going to Iraq, it will also increase domestic security services in the UK.

For this purpose, they specially registered the Protector Security Company in England. The person in charge of the company is Kernan Merton, the former senior vice president hired from G4S Company.

Barron is preparing to first get some outsourcing orders for security and policing here in Northern Ireland.

You must know that throughout the UK and Northern Ireland, even after 2000, there were still threats of attacks from time to time.

Many people must have heard of the Irish Republican Army. Until now, this organization has posed a threat to British rule in the United Kingdom, especially Northern Ireland.

When it comes to the Irish Republican Army, different groups of people will have two completely opposite views.

Among Irish people, people usually regard the Irish Republican Army as a national hero who resisted British colonial rule, promoted national independence and the reunification of the North and the South.

But on the other side of the UK, including Northern Ireland, the Irish Republican Army is notorious for committing numerous bloodsheds.

From 1968 to July 2002, a total of 3,600 people were killed in violent conflicts in the British Northern Ireland region and the Republic of Ireland. The IRA and other organizations were responsible for at least 2,000 of the deaths.

Many people in Northern Ireland seem to have become accustomed to cultural differences, political conflicts and the sound of guns.

Lord Mountbatten, the British naval marshal who proposed the famous "Mountbatten Plan" in history, died in an assassination attempt by the Irish Republican Army.

And they also planned an assassination against Mrs. Thatcher.

The government has therefore classified the IRA as a terrorist organization.

The history of the Irish Republican Army can be traced back to the first half of the last century. In April 1916, the famous "Easter Rising" broke out in Dublin.

Due to the disparity in strength, the uprising ultimately ended in failure.

At that time, the Irish Volunteer Army suffered heavy losses. Most of the leaders of the Irish independence movement were arrested and executed by the British government. The armed struggle for Irish independence was forced to go underground.

In order to adapt to the new struggle situation, in 1919, the remaining Irish Volunteer Army was reorganized into the more closely organized Irish Republican Army. This was the first time that the well-documented Irish Republican Army appeared on the historical stage.

After the establishment of the Irish Republican Army, it organized many assassinations and sneak attacks against the British police and military. Thousands of British people lost their lives, making the situation in Ireland difficult to control for a while.

The British government had to compromise and finally agreed in 1921 that the 26 southern counties of Ireland would become independent as the "Irish Free State", which was also the predecessor of the Republic of Ireland.

But at this time, Britain still occupied the six northern counties and remained in the United Kingdom in the form of Northern Ireland.

In 1937, after Ireland officially became independent, the Irish Republican Army still refused to give up the line of armed struggle, announced that it would continue to fight for the reunification of the north and the south, and carried out violent activities.

The scope of the IRA's activities covered the entire island of Ireland, becoming a common source of instability for the newly established Republic of Ireland and Britain.

In 1939, the Irish Republican Army was banned by both governments.

After World War II, with people's desire for peace after the war, the Irish Republican Army gradually lost its survival soil and inevitably declined. By the mid-1960s, the organization had basically disintegrated.

However, with the rise of the civil rights movement and the intensification of ethnic conflicts in Northern Ireland in the late 1960s, the Irish Republican Army revived and rose again, announcing that it would continue to fight for the reunification of the North and the South.

However, due to differences in the line of struggle, the resurgent IRA split into the formal IRA and the Provisional IRA. Among them, the formal Irish Republican Army gradually gave up the line of armed struggle and instead supported political action to seek the reunification of Ireland.

Subsequently, the Provisional faction became the main Irish Republican Army. They continued to insist on armed struggle and carried out a series of assassinations.

The most famous of these are the assassination of Mountbatten and the assassination of Margaret Thatcher.

On August 27, 1979, the retired 79-year-old Earl Mountbatten was targeted by the Irish Republican Army while on vacation in Ireland. As a well-known figure in the British upper class and internationally at the time, the yacht he was traveling on A 50-pound bomb was planted.

After the bomb was detonated, Mountbatten's legs were broken and he eventually died of his injuries at the age of 79.

Subsequently, the Irish Republican Army claimed responsibility for the incident.

On the same day Mountbatten was assassinated, the Irish Republican Army also launched a surprise attack on the British troops marching at Warren Point in County Down, Northern Ireland. 18 British soldiers were killed in the conflict, including 16 paratroopers and 1 British soldier. Lieutenant Colonel.

The attack, known as the Warren Point Raid, was the deadliest of the Northern Ireland conflict.

The assassination of Mountbatten and the attack on Warren Point put the IRA on the map.

At that time, Britain was at a time when the leader of the Conservative Party, Mrs. Thatcher, had just come to power as the British Prime Minister. Mrs. Thatcher, known as the Iron Lady, advocated a tough stance against the Irish Republican Army.

The British began to strictly control the Northern Ireland border. For a time, the activities of the Irish Republican Army were greatly restricted.

In 1984, the IRA, already addicted to brutality and unable to extricate itself, decided to create even greater trouble for the British.

They set a bomb at the Conservative Party conference in Brighton, England, in an attempt to kill Margaret Thatcher.

This terrorist attack killed five people on the spot, but Mrs. Thatcher survived.

Although the IRA received a fierce counterattack from the British government afterwards, the British government was still unable to fundamentally solve this troublemaker.

In 1993, for the sake of regional peace, Britain and Ireland jointly launched the Northern Ireland peace process, but it has been stranded because of the refusal of the Irish Republican Army to disarm.

When the peace process in Northern Ireland was on the verge of collapse, Sinn Féin, the political organization of the Irish Republican Army, stepped forward.

In October 2001, Sinn Féin called on all IRA factions to lay down their arms, but only a few factions responded.

It was not until 2005, two years ago, that with the mediation and mediation of the international community, the Irish Republican Army officially ordered to stop the armed struggle and join the peace process.

As early as December 1999, relevant parties from Britain, Ireland and Northern Ireland finally reached the Northern Ireland Peace Agreement.

The agreement is the biggest breakthrough in the Northern Ireland peace process since its advancement.

The agreement stipulates that the Irish government will no longer make territorial claims to Northern Ireland, but it still retains the possibility that the people of Northern Ireland will decide to join the south, which can be regarded as saving a trace of face for the IRA and Sinn Féin.

In accordance with this treaty, the Irish government amended its constitution to formally cancel the clause requiring territorial sovereignty in Northern Ireland.

In the original time and space, on May 8, 2007, the Northern Ireland Democratic Unionist Party and Sinn Féin, which had been fighting for decades, finally stood together and joined hands to form the new Northern Ireland local self-government.

Eternal peace seems to have arrived across the board.

But what is worrying is that two years later, in 2009, another terrorist attack suspected to be carried out by the Irish Republican Army occurred in the UK, which once again cast a shadow on the peace process in Northern Ireland.

Therefore, at this time, if there is anywhere in the UK where more Protector security companies can play a role, then Northern Ireland must be the first choice.

Now in 2003, there is still no decisive breakthrough in the peace process in Northern Ireland. Although the strength of the Irish Republican Army has been greatly reduced, it still threatens Northern Ireland and the entire United Kingdom.

You must know that during the more than three hundred years of British rule in Ireland, the ethnic composition and religious beliefs of Northern Ireland gradually changed.

The British had a large number of Protestant immigrants in Northern Ireland, and the proportion of new residents even exceeded that of the local Irish.

The new residents were Anglo-Saxons. As descendants of British people, they had a natural aristocratic temperament and originally looked down on the Irish whose ancestors made a living by farming.

The Irish nation belongs to the Celts and believes in Catholicism.

It is indeed very difficult to unite Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, which are Protestant and have a majority of people of British descent, not to mention that hundreds of years of conflict have caused many conflicts between the two sides.

Therefore, in fact, the IRA is not welcome in Northern Ireland and is regarded as a terrorist organization.

It is against this background that the Protector Security Company will next undertake many security projects in Northern Ireland. Even in negotiations with the local government, the other party is also considering outsourcing part of the police force to the Protector Security Company.

Of course, corresponding to this, Protector Security Company needs to keep its company headquarters in Northern Ireland and receive some of the laid-off police officers, thereby creating local employment.

Next, Barron plans to continue to invest 20 million pounds in the Protector Security Company. In addition to expanding the scale of its Billoo Castle base, he will also upgrade the security company's personnel and equipment, and even purchase coastal defense equipment for security needs. Large equipment such as patrol boats and helicopters.
