At this time, Egypt.
After Nashadir's resistance army integrated Harris's troops, they were preparing to attack the Wahhara tribe's territory.
There is the largest pasture in the Egyptian colonial area, which is extremely useful for cavalry training.
But this area was occupied by the Wahhara tribe, and the French had no interest in it before.
Because there are no resources here.
But now this is a time of war, and even remote areas like the Wahala tribe will not be spared by them.
Although it doesn't have much effect here for the French.
But for Nashadir's troops, the value here is extremely huge.
Therefore, the French army, which knew the strategic intentions of the rebel army, strictly blocked the grassland of the Wahala tribe.
If Nashadir wants to break through such a blockade, the price he has to pay must be very heavy.
He looked at this map of the French colonial area in Egypt. They divided their colonial area in Egypt into five parts.
The Wahhara tribe and the Sugra tribe are connected, located at the northern end, close to the Sahara Desert.
The climate is still harsh, but because of the mountains and rivers, the living environment here is not difficult.
Below their two tribes is the Ethiopian Plateau, which is adjacent to the source of the Nile River Basin.
That is where the Long Yan Army led by Jiang Xuan is attacking.
There are three French colonies and two African countries that have never been colonized.
In these five French colonial areas, the rebel army has occupied Socra and is targeting the Wahhara tribe. It is located on the Ethiopian plateau at the source of the Nile River. Jiang Xuan and the French army are engaged in a war of attrition.
The French army was now forced to split into two parts and could only concentrate on delaying Jiang Xuan's Long Yan Army.
Maintain the short-term balance of the battle situation.
But Nashadir poses a greater threat. If the rebels occupy the Wahhara tribe, they can directly enter the remaining two French regions through the plateau.
On the plateau of Ethiopia lies the industrial zone of France.
It is also an important transportation channel for France because of the loss of two important ports in Egypt.
They can only transport them through the Ethiopian plateau to the Red Sea, and then transport the materials out through the Red Sea again.
But this path is about to be blocked by the Longyan Army and Nashadir's troops.
Therefore, for Nashadir, occupying the Wahala tribal area is not only because there is grassland suitable for cavalry training.
It's because the Wahala tribe is the top priority in their plan!
But Nashadir's troops have not yet completed their training.
Smith also already knows their strategic intentions. It is impossible for Nashadir to attack the Wahhara tribe through surprise attacks.
He can only attack by force, but the force required for the attack is something Nashadir does not yet have.
Their cavalry team is strong enough, but their infantry is still lacking.
Just when he was having trouble with these things, Sean, Henry and Harris came to the command room.
Harris watched Nashadir mark the Wahhara tribe on the map.
After drawing several extended attack routes on it, it was immediately clear what Nashadir was worried about now.
Harris did not speak, but quietly observed the others.
Henry looked at the Wahala tribe being circled and said: "Nashadir, if you want to attack the Wahala tribe, I am the best candidate."
"I'm very familiar with the terrain there, including the tribes."
"Let me go."
Nashadir shook his head and said: "Of course I know what you said. What I am worried about now is not these, but other things."
"The French have strengthened their forces in the Wahhara tribe, but we don't know how many they have."
"The Wahala tribe is a grassland area. We have no advantage in using the terrain and can only rely on strong soldiers and horses."
Henry was a little ashamed. He had lived in the Wahala tribe for more than twenty years. Now when he came out to fight, he always thought of relying on the terrain to fight. He almost forgot that his hometown was a large grassland and there was no terrain to use.
On the grassland, it is almost endless, and it is difficult for any troops to hide.
And this kind of battle is the most test of the basic quality of the troops.
"Hey, what I'm worried about now is how many French troops there will be."
Others also fell silent, not understanding the strength of the French army. If they attacked rashly like this, big problems would definitely arise.
This is not something a qualified general can do.
Harris looked at the silent crowd and said: "Before I left, the French had gathered more than 10,000 soldiers in the Wahara tribe, but now this number must have increased."
"The only advantage for us in attacking the Wahhara tribe is that we know it better than they do."
Harris walked to the map and marked three locations on it.
"This is their main guarding position. Of course, this is the information I got when I left. They may not have changed much now."
"But what is certain is that they already know the fighting intentions of our troops, so they increased their troops in the Wahala tribe."
"It is estimated that the French troops are now highly nervous, waiting for our attack. If we can keep their troops in this highly tense state before the actual attack, maybe we can drain the fighting spirit of their soldiers."
"Tire their soldiers while we attack."
"As for the offensive route, the Wahala tribal area is located in the prairie. I think that instead of taking the initiative to attack, it is better to defend passively, so that the French army can think that it has a chance to annihilate our troops."
"Smith is an impetuous general. If he knew there was an opportunity to ambush our troops, I think he would not give up this opportunity. He would take the initiative."
“That’s when we win.”
"Actually, for us, no matter how strong the French troops are now, this war is inevitable. So instead of caring about the strength of their troops, it is better to find ways to weaken their fighting power and will."
After listening to Harris' plan, Nashadir nodded and said, "Maybe you are right. For us, this battle is bound to happen."
"The Wahala tribe is too important to us."
Harris looked at Nashadir and said, "This plan requires the cooperation of the Long Yan Army."
"If they can put a little pressure on the French team on the front line, our chances of winning will be greater, what do you think?"
Nashadir nodded and immediately said: "I will write a letter, and you will make corresponding preparations."
