The construction of the new city of Cairo was a predetermined plan, and the site of the new city was located in the north of Cairo City, at the junction of the Nile Delta and the desert, so that it could use the water of the Nile River and expand the city into the desert.

Old Cairo is hard to defend!

The city is vast, the area to be defended is large, the city wall has been lost for a long time, and it is not reasonable, it is faster to rebuild a city than to rebuild, and the Nile River passes through the city, it is even more difficult to prevent.

The former governor of Egypt, Katabor Pasha, saw this, and his troops were insufficient, and the people were not able to use it, so he had no intention of fighting and simply let the city go.

The Chinese were ambitious, and since Katabo Pasha did not want to fight, let him leave freely, and the ship of fortune, which had wanted to intercept him on the Nile, was also allowed to go.

……

Cairo New City!

The Chinese invested a lot of money and mobilized 30,000 Chinese craftsmen from their own country and 50,000 reliable craftsmen from various countries to build the new city of Cairo.

The reliable craftsmen here include some Indians, and there are always some Indians who are willing to work, such as the Sikhs, although most of them are unwilling to work and like to blow the cowhide of the Indian god cow.

Then they hire laborers from the city of Cairo, do a day's work, and meet the requirements of the job, and they will be paid.

Someone once thought that they were too lenient for the people of Cairo, and they were directly recruited and killed if they were not satisfied!

Army Commander Li Laiheng said: "It's not this time yet! ”

It would be different if they had beaten their Istanbul!

Now, you have to pretend.

Initially, thousands of people in Cairo were mobilized by Abdullah Faisal's puppet regime, and his family alone sent 3,000 men, and the rest of the families sent 3,000.

But when the helpers took home the solid Chinese silver coins, no one would be at odds with the silver coins, and more and more people participated, just as they had gone out to fight the Chinese before, with more than 50,000 people working for the Chinese.

The new city of Cairo is very large, according to the practice of building a city and a walled city in the middle of the country. If the circumference of the walled city reaches 900 paces, it is called a city; those with 900 to 500 steps are called villages; And below five hundred paces, it is only a fort; As for the one that is less than two hundred steps, it can barely be regarded as a beacon.

As a military city, the ordinary is a nine-hundred-step city, a thousand-step city, and the largest is only one thousand two hundred steps.

Wanping City outside Beijing is in the east of Lugou Bridge, the whole city is 640 meters long from east to west, 320 meters wide from north to south, and the total area is only 208,000 square meters.

The length of the city wall of Beijing in the Ming Dynasty was 24 kilometers, the width was 24 meters, the height was 14 meters, and the area of the city was almost 36 square kilometers, reaching 36 million square meters, the second in the world.

The first in the world is the Nanjing City Wall, with a length of 35.3 kilometers, the Xi'an City Wall has a circumference of about 14 kilometers, and the circumference of the great city of Constantinople at that time is about 20 kilometers.

According to the Chinese engineering blueprints, the circumference of Cairo New City will reach 9 kilometers, and the area of the city will be about 5 square kilometers.

Unlike the Chinese-style single-storey city walls, Cairo New City has a double-story wall, and its defense system is extremely well-developed!

Including the moat, the outer city wall and the inner city wall, of which the moat is 20 meters wide and 10 meters deep, the distance from the moat to the outer city wall is 15 meters, and then to the outer city wall, the height is 8 meters, the width of the city platform is 10 meters, and the tiling past, you will reach the inner city wall, which is 6 meters higher than the outer city wall, and the width of the city platform is 12 meters.

If you go to the outer wall, you have to enter and exit through the portal on the inner wall, and in wartime, it is generally locked as needed, and it is only opened when reinforcements are needed.

On the inner and outer city walls, a tower was also built every 60 meters--- like a tower standing tall buildings, staggered, that is, the two towers of the outer city wall are 60 meters apart, and there is also a tower on the inner city wall 30 meters between them, and the height of the outer wall tower is lower than the height of the inner city wall.

In addition to this, there are corner towers, one at the junction of each L-shaped wall, at least 3 floors.

Filled with cannons and muskets, the result is a terrifying cross-fire projection weapon system!

For the construction of city walls, Chinese workers have a lot of experience.

Ancient Chinese city walls were made of soil, rammed earth and tamped, and local loess or black soil was used to ram it tightly, and it was beaten layer by layer, and each layer was beaten to a thickness of 15 centimeters.

The same is true for the new city of Cairo, but the outer skin is covered with bricks or stones, and becomes a masonry wall.

The mountains of Egypt are full of granite, because Egypt is located near the junction of the Eurasian plate and the African plate, the earth's crust is unstable, there is a lot of magmatic activity, and magma intrusion forms intrusive rocks, granite is the most common intrusive rock.

Therefore, the outer walls of Cairo New City are made of granite and cemented together.

The source of granite is everywhere, as long as you collect granite diligently and hand it over to the Chinese military industry, then you will be paid!

In order to obtain granite, a fleet of boats was used to collect it from the upper reaches of the Nile and transport it by river.

Those quarries were started by Chinese merchants many years ago, and a large amount of granite was accumulated.

Others brought large chunks of granite from as far away as Mount Sinai.

The inner city wall is made of large pieces of fired red bricks, red bricks, also known as clay bricks, made of clay, shale and gangue, etc., claimed to have been invented by the ancient Babylonians, Babylon is not far from Egypt, Egypt has the skill of making red bricks, Europeans will also use red bricks, and some castles are made of red bricks.

All ethnic groups are not as good as the Chinese are good at using bricks, the Chinese are the world's strongest brick-making, brick masters, even the gods are no exception, such as the three altars of the sea will be the great god Li Nezha used a magic weapon is a brick --- gold, no matter how high the mana of other immortals, he was also knocked down by his bricks.

In fact, the brick factory opened by Chinese businessmen in Cairo is the largest overseas, at first people thought that the Chinese were so kind and contributed to the construction of Egypt, but now they have woken up to the fact that the truckload of red bricks has created the new city of Cairo!---

In a two-pronged approach, the granite binder is cement, while the brick wall binder is the glutinous rice lime slurry unique to the Chinese Yankees!

Lime mortar is a mixture composed of lime + sand + water, and glutinous rice soup is mixed into lime mortar to form a new composite mortar.

The strength of glutinous rice lime mortar is much greater than that of pure lime mortar, very strong, during the Ming Dynasty of China, due to the developed productivity, the production of green bricks and red bricks, there are many buildings made of brick walls and glutinous rice lime mortar.

After a hundred years and standing, such as the Great Wall and the Ming city walls in various places, etc., some city walls are even harder than cement and steel buildings, even if you use a bulldozer to knock it down, you can imagine the ability of Chinese craftsmen!

Cement is cumbersome enough to transport and not easy to preserve, the key is that you can't build cement plants abroad to prevent technology leakage, right?

Chinese merchants planted glutinous rice in Egypt and found lime mines, clay mines, shale mines, coal mines, and granite mines...... Therefore, before the army moves, the grain moves first, in fact, there are many moves, including spies, merchants, technicians, etc., as well as relevant domestic personnel, from kings, queens, stewards' wives, ministers, generals, personnel from various departments, and all social strata...... It even includes the three pots, those who train seriously, those who run under the scorching sun and work hard to raise supplies!

The completion of a great cause is by no means a fluke, it is the hard work of countless people.

Even as a king, leader, and god, you can set the beginning, but once it's up and running, you can't even decide to stop it, and you can't help but give all your power!

For our cause!
