Nashadir looked at the map and wondered who wouldn't covet this area.
The Nile Delta is rich in land, and Britain has colonized there for a long time and built the cities there very well.
Now go pick it up yourself...
Nashadir was silent for a few minutes: "Isn't this a bit unethical?"
Jiang Xuan was slightly surprised. This could not be Nashadir's character: Would you talk about morality with France or Britain? "
"It was you who asked me to carry out sneak attacks and ambush in the first place. How happy I am."
"Have you forgotten all about it?"
Nashadir looked embarrassed and said, "Don't you, Long Yan, have an old saying that soldiers are crafty?"
"That's not what I meant."
Jiang Xuan was stunned. You knew it and said it was immoral to pick up leaks.
Nashadir added: "What I want to say is, if we go to pick up leaks like this, what if we are attacked by others?"
"Our troops can still hold the Suez Canal here, but if we occupy Cairo, our troops will be spread too widely and it will be easy to be defeated one by one."
After hearing this, Jiang Xuan suddenly understood that this was the case.
Indeed, it would be immoral to pick up the leaks like this. It would be too immoral for Long Yan. How could he have such an idea?
"You can't pick things up like this, it's too immoral." Jiang Xuan nodded in agreement with Nashadir's words.
But they must not give up the city of Cairo to the French and British.
You can't do this kind of thing where the other party takes advantage.
Jiang Xuan looked at the current map of Egypt.
Because this is basically a desert, there are only a few cities that are strategic, and there is not much significance in occupying other places except for the more important ones.
The current forces in Egypt, including Longyan, France, Britain and several large and small forces, the situation is quite complicated.
Now that the war between Britain and France breaks out, Britain and Long Yan passively become allies and help Prussia fight against the Franco-Austrian Alliance.
"etc."
"British Alliance... Franco-Austrian Alliance!"
An idea flashed in Jiang Xuan's mind, and he realized it in minutes. A smile appeared on his face and he looked at Nashadir.
Nashadir was stared at so hard that his back bones trembled: "What do you want to do?"
Jiang Xuan showed a meaningful smile and raised his brows: "I was wondering if there is a possibility..."
"No!" Nashadir immediately refused.
Jiang Xuan was stunned, not knowing what Nashadir was thinking, and then said: "I mean, if we help Britain occupy Cairo."
"Are you saying that Britain is too embarrassed to think about taking action on her own?"
Nashadir was stunned when he heard this. This... was a little different from what he had just thought.
But for this strategy, Nashadir narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Okay, that's great."
Jiang Xuan and Nashadir looked at each other with foxy smiles.
…
At this time, Dick, the general on the British side, frowned.
The battle ahead was tense. Due to the battle between Britain and France at sea, the number of British troops in Egypt was not too large.
This allowed the French to take advantage of the situation.
Cairo fell because of this, and both sides paid a heavy price.
In this counterattack, Dick managed to scrape 10,000 men from the British colony in Egypt to attack Cairo, and he has been fighting until now.
The forces on both sides are already stretched thin.
Although both sides have abundant artillery weapons.
Cairo, a city he built himself, was also blown to pieces under the fierce artillery fire from both sides.
Both sides suffered numerous casualties.
Why are these French people so tenacious? According to Dick's understanding, there are not many French people left in Cairo.
If it were in the past, France would have been beaten away long ago.
How come it is as strong as defending its own capital now? Although Cairo is equally important to France.
But they still have other port cities, and the transportation lines will not be completely blocked.
Even without Cairo, Egyptian supplies, and local reinforcements could still land.
Dick fell into doubts, fearing that it was a deception, whether the French were deliberately delaying their British army here.
So that other armies can attack their other important colonies in Egypt.
After all, this is how Cairo lost, he had to guard against it.
It would be dangerous if that were the case!
"Guard, have we received any military reports from other places?" Dick asked quickly.
"Sir, there are no military reports at the moment, but we have detected traces of marching in port cities in France."
"Judging from the traces left behind, the number is quite large."
Hearing the news, Dick took a deep breath, and it was indeed true!
These hateful French people know that they want to play dirty tricks and steal their own city.
It was immediately deduced that the French might want to steal their own city.
Dick immediately ordered: "Pass my military order, retreat!"
"retreat?"
"General, don't you want Cairo?"
Dick glared at him and cursed directly: "What good is Cairo?"
"Although we can attack the Suez Canal directly from Cairo, have you never fought against the Long Yan people?"
"With our current strength, can we compete with Long Yan to seize the Suez Canal from Cairo? We can't!"
Dick looked at the map of Egypt with a gloomy and frightening expression. Finally, he could only say helplessly: "I will leave Cairo to you French people for the time being and let you fight Long Yan."
"When the time comes when you both lose, I, Britain, will come out to pick up the slack again!"
Thinking of this, Dick's order was quickly issued. The British guards were stunned. Stop fighting and retreat?
If we just work hard, we can win Cairo, why are we retreating like this?
They didn't understand, but they still obeyed the military orders.
Among the French in Cairo, Sachar, the leader of these French armies, cried with joy when he saw the British soldiers fleeing in despair.
"These hateful Britons are finally gone!"
Sashar looked at Cairo, which was almost in ruins, and felt very uncomfortable.
When he came, there was construction by the British, which was called a luxury.
However, under continuous artillery fire, all the equipment, factories, etc. were completely destroyed.
After experiencing two wars, his French army dropped sharply from the original 50,000 to less than 3,000.
There are still many wounded among them who are no longer able to participate in the battle.
Fortunately, Cairo is covered.
This group of British people finally couldn't chew off their own hard bones, so they all left.
At this moment, not long after the British left, Sashar was celebrating the rest of his life, when a sudden emergency military report reached his ears.
"Report to the general, Britain is coming again!"
"What!" Sashar sat up in shock while he was dying, looked at the guards in disbelief, and said helplessly: "Didn't they just leave?"
