The situation in Egypt has been in turmoil since the end of World War II, and the Egyptians, who have long been dissatisfied with their British masters, increasingly want to get rid of this insatiable master. www.biquge.info Of course, Egypt did not want to fight for independence, because Egypt at this time was nominally independent, but it had a nasty protectorate, the British Empire.

It is impossible to talk about the history of Egypt's independence without mentioning one person - Muhammad. Ali. Please note that this Ali is not a boxer, this is a bull. Why is he said to be very good? Because he was born in an era when another man of great power was most active, and that man was Napoleon, who was widely known.

In 1798, because of his previous brilliant achievements, Napoleon was regarded as a threat by the Directory, and he was given a shot to be sent abroad to become the commander of the Eastern Army. There was also the expedition to Egypt later, it should be said that the Mamluk cavalry in the twilight of the year was not the opponent of Napoleon in the early days, and was beaten to the ground, and Napoleon took Alexandria with almost no effort, and then completely beat the Mamluk cavalry in the Battle of the Pyramids. Later, Napoleon's Eastern Army was pitted by Nelson, and the defeat at the Battle of Aboukir can be said to have doomed the Eastern Army to no longer achieve anything in Egypt. At this time, the Directory was also crumbling because of the unsmooth situation on the battlefield, and Napoleon, who saw that there was an opportunity, took advantage of the opportunity for his henchmen and generals to take advantage of Nelson's supply to Cyprus and fled back to France in a hurry, launching the world-famous coup d'état.

It seems that having said so much, basically with Muhammad. Ali doesn't matter? It didn't have much to do with it before, but then it was, Napoleon and his generals went back to France patting their butts, but the Eastern Legion couldn't go back, so the Eastern Legion was still fighting alone in Egypt.

In 1801, Muhammad was born in Greece. Ali joined the Albanian Legion of Ottoman Turkey and went to Egypt against the French Eastern Legion. The poor-born soldier was promoted for his bravery and soon became one of the main commanders of the Albanian Legion.

By 1804, the year Napoleon became emperor, three uprisings broke out in Egypt against the Mamluk nobility. Ali had the foresight to side with the rebels, overthrew the rule of the Mamluk nobility, and was embraced by the Egyptians as the Egyptian Pasha. It is clear that the Ottoman Turkish Sultan, who had always been the boss of the Mamluk aristocracy, was not satisfied with Ali's nonsense, and in order to "restore" normal order in Egypt, the Sultan began to attack Ali. It's just that Ali did have a set of wars, defeated the sultan, forced the Ottoman Turks to recognize his Pasha status, and established Muhammad of Egypt. Ali Dynasty.

Note that this Ali was really powerful, Egypt was a piece of fat at that time, but it was very coveted, and after the French were finished, the British also came in 1807, but Ali defeated the British invasion and maintained Egypt's independence.

After this, Muhammad. Ali has also embarked on the path of expansion. From 1811 onwards, it continued to expand outward, from 1811 to 1818 it sent troops to the Arabian Peninsula to suppress the Wahhabi uprising against the Turks, and occupied Mecca and Medina, from 1820 to 1822 to occupy Sudan and build the city of Khartoum, from 1824 to 1827 to participate in the suppression of the Greek independence movement on the Morea Peninsula, and from 1831 to 1841 he sent troops to West Asia twice, defeating the Ottoman army and conquering Palestine, Lebanon, Syria and part of the territory of the Ottoman Empire. Forced the Ottoman Sultan to work with Muhammad. Ali signed the Kütahiya Agreement, recognizing Muhammad. Ali ruled over Egypt, the Arabian Peninsula, Crete, and assigned Syria to Muhammad. Ali jurisdiction.

Of course there is no hundred days of red flowers, when Muhammad. After Ali attacked from all sides, he quickly became the target of public criticism. Later, Britain, Russia, Austria, Prussia and other countries intervened, and were forced to accept the conditions stipulated in the Treaty of London in 1840, withdraw all their troops from abroad, and remain subject to the Ottoman Empire, retaining only the hereditary rights of the governor of Egypt and the lifelong jurisdiction of the Sudan. In his later years, he became ill and mentally confused. Muhammad. Ali was born in 1848 to his eldest son Ibrahim (Abbas I).

Ali was an unfulfilled ambition, and after his death, his descendants continued to hold power in Egypt, but none of them could be as awesome as Ali, and in the end it was not as good as a day, and in 1882 Egypt was occupied by British troops, and then in 1912 it simply became a British protectorate.

This situation can be said to have lasted until after the victory in World War II, when Britain enjoyed military privileges in Egypt, basically Muhammad. Ali's descendants are just puppets. The titular ruler of Egypt in 1947 was Farouk I, but the Egyptians did not have much affection for this ruler. Because this Farouk I is really just a gentleman.

Farouk I was very poor-aptitude and had a learning disability when he was a teenager, so he couldn't learn anything. Farouk I's father, Fouad I, sent Farouk to England for further study, hoping that higher education in Western Europe would help this stupid son become a talent. But what Fouad I didn't expect was that Farouk I did not learn or know how to do it, and spent his days gambling and hunting with the children of the nobility as a pastime. In addition, this product is also lustful by nature, often messing with all kinds of women, and has had improper relationships with at least a dozen women.

Farouk succeeded to the throne in May 1936 after the death of his father, Fouad I, and at the age of 16 he was sitting on a fortune of $100 million, 200 cars, and 75,000 acres of fertile land. So much property naturally makes this playboy upside down.

After inheriting the throne, Farouk married the aristocratic lady Farry in 1938, but after the marriage, he still seduced women all the time, openly advocating that people should not be bound in love and should allow mistresses to exist. His mistresses are numerous, such as actresses and well-known female talents. So in 1948, Farrida couldn't bear it anymore and divorced Farouk.

In addition to being lustful, Farouk is a foodie enthusiast, eating 12 eggs for breakfast, 40 quails for lunch, drinking up to 30 bottles of beer a day, and often locking himself in a dark room to eat chocolate, and his weight has risen to 300 pounds. In addition, this guy is also a gambler, and once lost $150,000 in seven hours.

In addition to these "normal" hobbies, Farouk also has a well-known quirk, he learned the art of theft from an old pickpocket in prison, and in gratitude to the pickpocket, he was released from prison for the first time. After completing his studies, Farouk traveled to various balls and evenings in the palace, stealing from VIP to dignitary, and keeping his findings as his personal collection. He is best known for stealing British Prime Minister Winston Churchill's pocket watch, which was returned to Churchill after the British government protested against Farouk. Farouk also stole burial goods, including swords, belts and medals, from the king's body when his funeral procession passed through Egypt in 1944. Those in the know jokingly called Farouk a "Cairo thief".

Of course, these are not the fundamental reasons for the fall of Farouk I, how many of the feudal **** monarchs are virtuous? I'm afraid that more than 90 percent of them are mediocre people, and there are even more arrogant and lascivious guys like Farouk I. So what is the root cause of the fall of Farouk I? It was this fool who shook the very foundations of his own rule.

In all the wars in the Middle East, Egypt and Syria were the main forces that opposed the Jews. Once these two countries are not interested in continuing to die with the Jews, then the war in the Middle East will basically not be fought, and you can't let the Saudi Arabia or the UAE even defend the country have to invite mercenary scum to face the fierce Jews, right?

At that time, Farouk I deeply offended the native Egyptian military group and had a very poor image among the soldiers? Why? Because this stupid Farouk I, in order to earn a million-pound kickback, promised to buy war stocks from England. In fact, it was nothing to buy war stock, and the Jews were all over the world to exchange garbage, but the black-hearted British arms dealers were so ruthless that they sold the old antiques of the First World War to Egypt at a high price. Let the Egyptian army fight the Jews with this garbage.

One can imagine how angry the military was. And once a ruler is betrayed by his own violent machine, the end is conceivable.

The crushing defeat in the First Middle East War shook Farouk's throne greatly, and more and more military officers believed that there was only hope for the deposition of Farouk I's state. And it was against this background that Yevgeny arrived in Cairo.

The scenery of the Middle East was refreshing to Yevgeny, and the feeling of seeing things that only appeared in books, such as pyramids and sphinxes, was completely different. Anyway, Yevgeny, who had just arrived in Egypt, rented an American jeep to get around, which made him more of a tourist than an agent.

For ordinary people, it is sure to lose their jobs, but for Evgeny it is nothing, he did not spend with public money, anyway, he has money at home, and a little gas money and travel expenses are simply a drop in the bucket. As for traveling during work hours, his identity is a reporter anyway, and it is normal to run around. What's more, the leaders of the KGB wish that this one would have a good time in Egypt, as long as they don't cause trouble, then thank God.

Anyway, this month of travel in Egypt was the most pleasant time of Yevgeny's life. He knew that he thought it was good to be a traveler. However, God had long destined Yevgeny to have a career, and while he was wandering around Egypt, he met several people who changed the course of his work.

The first man was called Muhammad. Najib, the second is called Gamal. Nasser. Mohammed. The name Najib may be unfamiliar to many comrades, but this man still has some significance in the history of Egypt, as a typical Egyptian officer, Najib graduated from the Royal Military Academy in Cairo and has served in the Egyptian army since 1920. In 1927, he entered the University of Fouad I to study law and political economy, and later obtained a doctorate in law.

Why is this experience special? Because he chose to study law and political economy, he was more politically sensitive than the average Egyptian soldier, and the set of political principles he accepted was more Westernized.

Note that this is not a good thing. Because in a sense, Egypt's political landscape is more oriental, and the so-called orientalization means that power is more centralized, and only a few people can make decisions. In Western terms, it is "poisonous vegetables".

Because Najib is relatively open-minded (or naïve), his sense of law makes him incompatible with his former comrades-in-arms, and sooner or later the conflict between the two sides will erupt, and those friends who hold military power will teach him how to be a man in minutes. I have to say that people who are too idealistic are not suitable for politicians. Since the overthrow of Najib, Egypt's political scene has always been deformed, the military has always had super high authority in politics, and once the leader cannot control the military, the outcome will be a tragedy.

To get back to the point, Najib was already a Brigadier General at this time, because he had shown great bravery in the First Middle East War. However, Najib did not particularly buy the enchantment above, as mentioned earlier he was a somewhat idealistic man, and he was angry about the defeat in the war and the incompetence and corruption of Farouk I, especially when he heard the inside information that Farouk I had withdrawn the kickbacks, the young officer was indignant.

In Najib's view, the root cause of the war's failure was the corruption and incompetence of Farouk I, and only by overthrowing Farouk I's rule could Egypt have any hope for the future. But how easy is it to overthrow Farouk I?

Of course, this is not to say that Faruk I is the will of the people, nor is it to say how high and iron-fisted this product's ruling skills are, as mentioned earlier, this product is just a playboy and a joke.

So, it stands to reason that a comic king shouldn't be easily overthrown? There are many similar examples in history, but how is it that it is not the same here under Farouk I?

The reason is very simple, Farouk I is a comic, but his backstage is very hard! Whoever wants the king of Egypt to be a comic must be British! For the British Empire, it is natural to hope that the puppets are as stupid as possible, otherwise how can they control Egypt?

Therefore, the greatest difficulty in overthrowing the rule of Farouk I was not at home in Egypt, but abroad. If the British had intervened forcefully and backed up Farouk I, Najib would have had little chance of winning. On the contrary, if the work of Britain can be done, it will not be difficult to get Farouk I out of power automatically.

So is the job of the British easy to do?

I am afraid it is not easy to do, you can imagine how much the British like a fool like Farouk I, the existence of this fool greatly protects British interests in Egypt, and an Egyptian elite like Najib has come to power, and the British Empire can still be in Egypt as before?

Pigs know how to choose between an elite like Najib and an idiot like Farouk I, and Attlee is a lot worse than Churchill, but how can such a simple question be wrong?

Saying that Najib is naïve, that is, is here, it stands to reason that it is not difficult to analyze the little thing in this at all. As a politician, you must first distinguish who is your enemy and who is your friend. And the naïve Najib turned out to have hope for the British. He was prepared to reason with the British, hoping that Britain would change its position.

This is really stupid and naïve, but there are still many such naivety in the world political arena, such as Gandhi in India. Of course, politicians will inevitably be a little naïve when they first appear on the stage of history, the difference is that some people keep pace with the times and quickly get rid of their infantileness, while others are naïve to the end.

Najib is not naïve to the end, but he is relatively naïve. At this moment, full of the desire to save the country and the people, he thought a lot about how to seize power peacefully, and it was best not to provoke Britain too much, and it was better to resemble the bloodless glorious revolution in Britain.

Now, Najib is preparing for an Glorious Revolution, and his plan is to force Farouk I to abdicate voluntarily. Yes, Najib thinks that if he directly seizes power by force, he may provoke fierce opposition from the British, but if he can find a way to make Farouk I abdicate automatically, then the British probably can't say anything, right?

So how to force Farouk I to abdicate? To tell you the truth, it's quite difficult. Which ruler is willing to voluntarily relinquish power in his hands? Especially the unscrupulous rulers like Farouk, this kind of people are probably more enthusiastic about the power in their hands, counting on their automatic abdication, hehe, the sow will go up the tree.

Najib thought that it was unrealistic to expect Farouk I's conscience to find out, and that the only way to do this was to force this guy to abdicate, and of course not by force, because the British would definitely intervene and have to think of a way to force him peacefully.

Peaceful persecution sounds so contradictory, peace means mildness, and persecution requires toughness, which translates to mild toughness, well, what the hell is this!

But Najib thinks that this mild toughness is very good, what is the specific way? That is to shake out all the ugly things of Farouk I, and he is so ashamed that he will leave automatically.

Speaking of which, there are a bunch of scandals in Farouk I, and it is not unusual for the common people to say it, and if you think about it, even the common people don't think so, and His Majesty the King is naturally even more inappropriate. So it's unrealistic to expect those scandals and scandals to knock down Farouk I, so are there any more powerful scandals?

Hehe, Najib knows exactly that...... (To be continued.) )
