After Lin Youde took the mouth of the Suez Canal, he continued to advance to the banks of the Nile and confronted the British troops fortified on the banks of the Nile across the river.

This time, Nia's spirit was almost exhausted, after all, she was not yet fully mature, and just the ground combat made her overdraw her mental power.

Because of this, Lin Youde no longer had any assault force in his hands to use, so he could only watch as the British troops on the other side of the Nile, who were also very weak, gradually strengthened the defense of the riverbank.

However, this situation did not last a few days.

When Lin Youde judged that there would be a large number of combat operations in North Africa last year, he issued an instruction to study a special desert warfare magic armor, and he was a little worried that the development of this armor would not be able to catch up with the development of the war, and if the armor was not studied until four or three years was completed, it would probably only catch up with the tail of the North African battle -- or even miss the entire campaign altogether.

Lin Youde personally went to Port Said to receive this batch of new magic armor.

**

Lin Youde was happy when he saw the shape of the new magic armor, and said in his heart that the designer of this armor should not also come from another time and space, this armor looks like a high-level model owned by the villain in the animation of a young man with two diseases in another time and space who tells the story of a young man with two diseases saving the world as the main line.

Even the color of the paint is about the same, and there are exactly three of them, so can you attack with a jet of lightning (this is the name of the move in the anime where three mechs attack together)......

The technician in charge of explaining here thought that Lin Youde was happy to see the new type of talent, and he also smiled with Lin Youde while continuing to explain.

"Because of the characteristics of fighting in the desert, the new aircraft uses an air cushion system, which can maneuver at a fairly high speed on the ground, and can sway from side to side very dexterously when maneuvering, and at the cost of having to dismantle the jump-related parts to reduce the weight of the aircraft. However, we don't have to worry about affecting our combat capabilities, because from the battle reports submitted by the war queens in the Eastern Mediterranean theater before, the surface soil in the desert area is not hard enough to withstand the impact when the body lands, so the war queens rarely jump in the desert area. ”

Lin Youde nodded again and again, indeed, he had also heard similar statements when chatting with the battle queens, the German battle queens who were accustomed to using the flexible jumping ability of the armor did have a headache about the soft soil in the desert area, and at least half of the casualties of the German battle queen troops were ground deformation when they landed, and then they were shot and wounded.

It seems that the commanders of the Senhime unit have privately conveyed the instructions of "don't jump" to the newly transferred Senhime team.

In that case, it would be quite cost-effective to exchange the Magic Armor for combat in desert areas for the ability to move horizontally on the ground with the ability to jump.

After getting these three magic armors, Lin Youde planned to try to break through the British defense line in front of the Nile, because the armor equipped with the air cushion system could not only maneuver on the ground, but also on the water.

Lin Youde dared to make this plan because he knew very well that the British army on the other side also lacked heavy equipment, especially the various magic equipment used by the battle concubine. Lin Youde had already occupied several Zhanji maintenance centers originally prepared by the British, and seized a large number of raw materials and spare parts hoarded in those centers. Now the British only have reserves in Alexandria, but these reserves belong to the Royal Navy, and priority needs to be given to ensuring the combat capability of the warlord troops carried by the fleet.

At this time, the Royal Navy must have a plan to abandon the army and retreat to Gibraltar, and the British will not watch Lin Youde capture their warships. If they were to retreat to Gibraltar, the battleship would have to be in good shape.

Therefore, at this time, although the British Army could still draw troops from El Alamein to deploy along the Nile, their heavy artillery was lost on the east bank of the Nile and captured by the troops of the Human Innovation Alliance.

Now that he had magic weapons that could directly rush across the river -- although there were only three -- Lin Youde had received a supply of equipment and ammunition, and the reorganization of the troops was also proceeding smoothly.

Lin Youde was now unable to replenish the troops, so he decided to temporarily reorganize many of the divisions that had been reduced into brigades, and use this method of downsizing to turn these units back into combat units with organization and combat effectiveness without being replenished with new recruits.

After nearly a month of preparations, Lin Youde launched a river-crossing operation codenamed "One Million Male Division Crossing the Great River" -- in fact, where did he come from, with his strength, even if it is exaggerated ten times, he should not use the "Million Male Division" as an analogy.

Lin Youde also wrote a seven-law poem in Chinese: Nile rises and rains are yellow, and millions of heroes cross the river. The tiger is better than the past, and the world is turned upside down and generous. It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord. If there is love in the sky, the sky is also old, and the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life.

After "creating" this poem, Lin Youde was quite proud, and said in his heart that the brick drama that traveled through modern times - copying Lao Mao's poems - he Lin Youde finally did it.

When he said goodbye to his international students who volunteered to join the army during the German Civil War, Lin Youde remembered that he had copied the three chapters of Meiling or something, and then he had no chance to use the poems he memorized in middle school.

It's a pity that there is no one around Lin Youde who understands poetry now, so he hasn't been able to get amazing prestige from onlookers like other traversers who copied Lao Mao's poems.

But Lin Youde didn't care about this, after all, he just suddenly remembered to copy it, and he didn't do it to pretend to be forced.

In the future, after he hangs up, historians will probably study the poems and music he left behind by Lin Youde over and over again, to be honest, Lin Youde is very curious about what kind of conclusions those historians will come to, if possible, he really wants to go to the previous timeline a little after his death to see what kind of person Lin Youde has been made up by historians.

It's fun, isn't it?

On July 22, 1942, German troops officially launched a campaign to force the crossing of the Nile.

**

Cairo, 2 August 1942.

Lin Youde's jeep drove into the city of Cairo.

To be honest, Lin Youde couldn't help frowning as soon as he saw the streets of Cairo. Lin Youde also thought that Cairo, as the capital of Egypt in later generations, was now a prosperous city, just like Baghdad, which already had a population of one million.

But the truth is that Cairo at this time did not look like a bustling city from any point of view.

There are few pedestrians on the street, and even if there are, they are hungry and yellow-faced. The low buildings on both sides of the street smell of poverty, the walls are in disrepair and mottled, and the clothes hanging on the ropes between the buildings are all of the most simple design, not even a single embroidery can be seen, just sew it up with a white cloth and put a few buttons on it.

If it weren't for the fact that he could see a corner of the ancient building that still looks magnificent in the distance, Lin Youde really suspected that his driver drove in the wrong place and drove him to a small county town.

The women of Egypt wore veils, and while Turkey began to be fully secularized, Egypt still retained a strong green religion.

All in all, everything in Cairo left Lin Youde a little disappointed, and the impression of Cairo that he had built up on films such as "The Mummy" collapsed.

However, he had already experienced this kind of thing many times since he crossed over, so he was able to handle it calmly.

Lin Youde sat in the car, took his entourage, and came to the door of the former British Governor General of Egypt, where the Governor had been waiting for a long time.

**

"Mr. Lin, on behalf of all the Governor's Palace, I would like to extend my most sincere greetings to you, thank you for accepting our request to surrender and not causing unnecessary casualties to the people in the city." After speaking, the governor of Egypt bowed to Lin Youde.

"It's not your English etiquette, is it?"

"Well, of course not, but I think maybe you'll have a little fun doing that." The governor was also direct, and immediately told Lin Youde of his purpose of adopting Chinese etiquette.

Lin Youde guessed that the Governor had probably heard that Lin Youde liked straightforward people, so he deliberately made himself very straightforward in order to win Lin Youde's favor and trust.

It's a pity that the governor imagined Lin Youde's ability to recognize people too low.

Lin Youde pursed his lips and said to the governor: "I heard that British gentlemen are very decent patriots, especially English gentlemen who have served in the military, but now it seems that there will be exceptions in any country." ”

Among the group of government clerks present, only the Governor General used to be a rear admiral of the Royal Navy, and the meaning of Lin Youde's words could not be more obvious.

"And I don't understand, why didn't you retreat with the British troops? As the governor, they can't forbid you to follow the army, right? ”

"This, I stayed to protect ......"

"Protecting the people of Cairo?" Lin Youde sneered, "It took me twenty minutes from entering the city to arriving at the Governor's Palace, and the people I saw were ruined and poor in Cairo, and the common people were miserable, even if there was no war, these ordinary people would die of illness, starvation, and exhaustion. And I, hate hypocrites. ”

Saying that, Lin Youde waved his hand, and the German soldiers who had been on standby behind him immediately rushed up and took down the governor.

"Go to your cell and reflect on your dereliction of duty as governor."
