Wang Mingshan's expression was quite calm, and he didn't say anything stupid like "why did Mahdi betray us". Strategically speaking, Wang Mingshan's envoy has never regarded the doomsday hero Mr. Mahdi as his own. All his negotiations with Mahdi were aimed at getting Mahdi to go north to fight the British, and Wang Mingshan was well aware of his choice, so he did not see any reason to criticize Mahdi's choice.

"The troops of the south are moving towards this side, those ...... The company's security team will be able to reach Khartoum in about four days. And a fleet of Taoists is coming to our side, and we can disembark in Port Sudan in a day at most. I heard that there are armed forces in it. When they arrived, they could gather their forces in Port Sudan and begin the attack. So we just need to keep it for five days. Wang Mingshan's tone was very calm, as if he had seen the final result of the war.

On the map, the future is indeed favorable for the East African administrative region, and the reconnaissance air force has already spotted a large number of marching groups targeting Khartoum. Judging by the normal situation, most of them are local Arabs, who probably took a posture of encirclement. And the troops under the Chinese are building an anti-encirclement posture on a larger scale.

The commander said to the group in a morale-boosting voice: "Those who have gathered in Khartoum are the elite of these rebels, and if you destroy them, the guys in those places will know that they are powerful." I don't dare to do anything more in the short term. With more than 40,000 men in Khartoum ready to fight, it should be fine to hold on. On the periphery, we still have 40,000 or 50,000 people to move. There must not be 100,000 men in Mahdi's department. ”

"But there seem to be a lot of people looking at them!" Some people are very worried.

"A lot of people doesn't necessarily mean a war. If the Arabs on the ground could really fight, they would never do it now. There have been a lot of skirmishes over the years, and the Arabs don't know how to fight. "Once again, the commander advised everyone not to worry.

The envoy didn't look worried, and the commander didn't have the slightest fear. The people attending the meeting could only choose to relax. At this reassurance, everyone couldn't help but talk about the things they cared about, "Why would Mahdi attack us now?" ”

"It must have been the British who gave Mahdi greater benefits, and Mahdi felt that the British were more reliable than us." Wang Mingshan gave the answer he considered.

"Is Mahdi stupid? He fought a bloody battle with us, and even if he could win, it would be a lose-lose situation. At that time, the British turned their faces and did not recognize people, and Mahdi had only a dead end at that time. "The comrades present at the meeting could not understand Mahdi's idea of doing this.

"Nope. I don't think the British would be so stupid. Let's look at the map. Wang Mingshan explained that the two main points in East Africa are the Suez Canal, the gold mines in southern Africa and the Cape of Good Hope. If it can take possession of these strategic objectives, China can fully control the initiative in Africa, "Since the British are not willing to openly turn against us, they have no other way but to support Mahdi." I originally thought that Mahdi's IQ was not so high, and I probably didn't see the problem so thoroughly, but now I think I was wrong. And I have not been able to make a correct judgment about the decisiveness of the British. I've only heard that Britain is a famous-stirring stick, but I just listened to it, and I didn't take it to heart. As a result, Britain and Mahdi joined forces first. ”

Even though the situation was tense, hearing the word "-stirring stick", many comrades attending the meeting showed some smiles. Indeed, China looks down on Mahdi and loathes him. And this guy who looks like-soaked in China has become a sweet spot in the eyes of the British, and the British will stir it up as soon as they plunge into it. This decisiveness and the result of mixing are indeed extraordinary.

While he was talking, the staff officer ran in to report that the iron fence around the city had been erected. After hearing this, Wang Mingshan immediately got up, "Comrades, the army has a task for the troops. We are not troops, so we will lead the people of our respective units to start patrolling, alerting, and imposing curfews according to the tasks just assigned. The day is better now, but the night gives the enemy some chance. So all units have figured out that at this critical moment, there is no need to kill those who do not obey the curfew order. ”

"Yes!" The participants replied in unison. At such a time, there is no choice but to work together.

At night, gunfire was scattered in the three towns of Khartoum, but it hardly stopped all night. When it was dawn, Wang Mingshan finally rubbed his sour eyes and handed over the command to the commander. After all, he was almost fifty years old, and he barely slept for two days and two nights, and he really felt that he couldn't hold it anymore. And at night on patrol, he's okay. Fighting during the day is not Wang Mingshan's specialty.

When Wang Mingshan began to sleep in Khartoum, Erdogan followed a brigade from the village and surrounding villages to the outside of Khartoum.

These men had been walking for almost the whole night last night, and had indeed slept for a while in between, but at dawn they got up again and set off. Erdogan remembers yesterday's speech to the villagers by the village chief's uncle, "If you ask why there are not so many things in this castle, I will tell you that everything in this castle has been taken away." Taken to Khartoum by the Chinese. Everyone has seen the kind of iron car in China, and they took away all the alfalfa we harvested for half a year at one time. The iron chariot took away all the riches of the castle. Think about it! Think about it! That's how much wealth is there! Fellows, follow our team to Khartoum, everything in it belongs to us! ”

Under such encouragement, the villagers all gave birth to a lot of energy. Some families have a large number of people, so they send people to send things home first, and the main force of their family follows the team. Those families with few people were worried that they would not be able to grab things, so they simply carried the "fine softness" of this robbery, such as some cloth and goods. Erdogan saw the family walking next to him wrapping a white sheet with a red cross on it. The red cross that the guy also noticed, deliberately placed the red cross on his back vest, which was very eye-catching.

Unwilling to lag behind for most of the afternoon and almost one night, the team completed a 50-kilometre journey and arrived near Khartoum. In the eyes of the villagers, there are many tall buildings in the fort, and compared to the village of low bungalows, the fort is really grandiose. However, with the city of Khartoum in front of you, the fortress is insignificant. There are many, many tall buildings in Khartoum, and from a distance, they really look like woods.

Many villagers couldn't help but cheer when they saw this, yes, once they could break through here, they could take everything they could move at will. But Erdogan wasn't so excited, and he found that they weren't the only ones cheering. There are many people who have made Khartoum their destination, not only those who have already arrived in Khartoum, but also many more of them have appeared behind Erdogan.

After having the experience of attacking the fortress, Erdoan muttered vigorously, after so many people entered Khartoum, what else could he leave for him?
