The Egyptian mutiny has taken place!

The British, on the other hand, strongly rejected all the demands of the Egyptians, and demanded that the Egyptian mutinous soldiers immediately release the British officers who had been detained in the most difficult situation.

The British, who were suffering the shadow of defeat in the war, absolutely did whatever it took to teach the Egyptians the toughest lesson with bloodshed:

Who is the real master of this land!

Not the Egyptians, but the empire on which the sun never sets - England!

Tanks appeared on the streets of Cairo, and the whole city of Cairo was put under emergency martial law, and the barracks of the mutinous soldiers were surrounded in the shortest possible time.

A bloody conflict is about to begin!

Until now, General Khamlemu has not given up his efforts to save those men.

He repeatedly begged the British to solve the incident in a more reasonable way, but the British refused, and he repeatedly begged the rioting soldiers to end the mutiny and release the British officers, but he was also refused

The commander of the "Egyptian Officer Corps," Colonel Tamusta, said only a few words when he spoke to General Kamunlemu on the last phone call:

"You've always been looking for freedom in Egypt, but are we really free? Someone will shed blood for the freedom of Egypt, and we will be responsible for it. Just like Arabi back then, sacrifice for the sake of free Egypt."

Putting down the phone, General Khamlemu knew that the matter was irreparable. Because these mutinous soldiers decided to follow the example of Arabi, the Egyptian leader of the resistance to aggression, and die for Egypt!

Year 1879. Egyptian landlords, bourgeois intellectuals and military officers formed the "Fatherland Party" under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Mohammed. Arabi. Pasha is the leader. The Fatherland Party put forward ideas such as Egyptian independence and opposition to the "European Cabinet", and used the power of the popular struggle to force Governor Ismail to reshuffle the government. Dismissal of foreign officials, adoption of a constitution, and strengthening of parliamentary powers. The British instigated Turkey to depose Ismail and appointed his son Dufik as the new governor. Dufik was at the mercy of the British, formed a reactionary government, dissolved Parliament, and arrested the Fatherlanders. September 1881. The Arabic army revolted, besieged the royal palace, and gained the support of the people. Dufik was forced to convene Congress. In 1882, the Fatherland Party was elected to the Cabinet. Arabi became Minister of War, the "double oversight" system was abolished, and through the 1879 Constitution, Britain saw that it was impossible to control Egypt through the Governor and Cabinet. It was decided to carry out armed intervention. to realize its long-planned ambition to occupy the Suez Canal and all of Egypt. On July 11, 1882, the British detachment bombarded Alexandria. The detachment consisted of 8 armored ships, 5 gunboats and 1 destroyer, armed with 69 large-caliber naval guns, 88 small- and medium-caliber naval guns and 70 "Mitriyoz" guns, with a crew of 5,700 men. At that time, the Egyptian garrison in Alexandria consisted of 7,500 poorly trained soldiers and poorly fortified positions. After heavy fighting, Egypt suffered 2,000 casualties. The British landed with 25,000 men and occupied the harbor. And looting.

In the face of the aggression of the British army, the Fatherland Party immediately issued a letter to the people. He declared "an incompatible war between the Egyptian nation and the British" and promised the peasants to abolish their debts to foreigners. The vast number of peasants responded to the call and enthusiastically joined the army, and anti-aggression demonstrations were held in Cairo and other cities. The Egyptian military and civilians, under the leadership of Arabi, focused on strengthening Cairo's Northern Front. On 28 July, the Egyptian army inflicted a defeat on the British in the battle at the village of Dawval. Over the next three weeks, the Egyptian army repelled several enemy attacks in quick succession, preventing the British from attacking Cairo from the north.

However, Arabi and others made the strategic mistake of strengthening only the defensive line in the north of Cairo and not paying due attention to the defense of the eastern front, because they were gullible enough to believe that the capitalist countries would abide by the guarantees of neutrality in the Suez Canal Zone. As a result, the British set a breakthrough in Cairo on the Suez Canal. In August, the British landed in the Canal Zone, occupied Port Said and other important places in the Canal Zone on the 20th, and then attacked Cairo, and in September, near Teller Kebir, the approach to Cairo, the two sides fought a decisive battle. The Egyptian army and civilians bravely resisted the enemy and fought bloodily, holding their positions for two weeks. The British changed their tactics and bought off the feudal nobles of the nomadic tribes, especially the Bedouin chiefs who participated in the war of resistance. As a result, the British broke through the eastern line of defense on September 13, and the Egyptian army was forced to retreat to Cairo.

Arabi tried to take advantage of the flooding Nile to defend the enemy, and decided to launch 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Cairo to defend the capital. However, the bureaucratic landlords and some officers in Cairo wavered and rebelled, and took advantage of Arabi's command of the army and civilians to build a defensive line on the outskirts of the city, and opened the door to lead the enemy into the city.

On September 15, the capital fell. Arabi and other generals were captured, and a large number of soldiers and civilians were slaughtered. The British captured Cairo and quickly occupied all of Egypt, and the war ended in Egypt's defeat.

The uprising led by Arabi failed, but countless Egyptians will always remember this Egyptian patriotic general.

When Tamusta came up with the man's name, all General Khamlemu could do was pray silently

At 3 p.m. on November 6, when the time for the British ultimatum came, the bloodiest repression in Cairo began!

On the same day, the 7th, 12th, and 19th Infantry Brigades of Egypt staged a mutiny, and at 3 o'clock, the British army suppressed it by forceful means.

This was a mutiny that no one had expected before, and was completely unprepared. But historically, there have been many, too many such hasty mutinies.

Sometimes, an uprising doesn't require much preparation

With the "Egyptian officer corps" as the core command, the mutinous soldiers built temporary fortifications to meet the British attack. The British, on the other hand, used tanks to brutally suppress them.

The fierce battle officially began at 3 o'clock, and until this time, the Egyptians had not yet figured out what was really going on.

However, rumors soon spread in Egypt:

The shameless British used counterfeit money instead of wages to deceive Egyptian soldiers, while the deceived Egyptian soldiers rose up and were quickly suppressed by the British.

The Egyptians, who hated counterfeit banknotes, quickly expressed their sympathy for the mutinous soldiers at first, and then this sympathy developed into substantial support, and the Egyptians began to show their own way of solidarity with the Egyptian soldiers in battle.

This was something that the British did not expect, and what they did not expect even more was the tenacious fighting ability displayed by the Egyptian mutinous soldiers.

Truth be told, the Egyptian soldiers did not perform very well on the battlefield, but they performed so well in the fighting power for freedom and rights.

They sacrificed their lives to fight the British, and blew up the tanks of the British invasion at the cost of their lives. By 5 o'clock in the battle, the repression, which had been planned by the British, had been brought to an end, but no progress had been made at all.

At the same time, General Khamlemu and his companions were still using their influence to constantly call for an end to the fighting as soon as possible and to negotiate with the mutinous soldiers.

Montgomery knew that the longer the battle dragged on, the more detrimental it would be to them to the density of the British offensive, which was suddenly intensified

More soldiers threw themselves into the crackdown, and at the same time, more ordinary Egyptians joined in solidarity with the Egyptian mutinous soldiers.

The mutiny quickly spread to the whole of Cairo on such a large scale and so violently resisted that even the initiator Wang Weiyi did not expect it.

The anger of the Egyptians who had long been oppressed by the British was unleashed at this moment!

Wars caused by counterfeit banknotes? Wang Weiyi suddenly felt that he could call this battle in Cairo like that

Now, it's time for him to do something The German army has secretly assembled under his orders, and although he does not have an advantage, Wang Weiyi is still unwilling to give up such a good opportunity.

Now that the flames are already burning in Cairo, is there a way to add some more firewood to make this flame burn more intensely? Even, burning throughout Egypt?

Advance your plan to seize Egypt!

The key question was how long the Egyptian mutinous soldiers could hold out, and the longer they fought, the more the Egyptians could be thrown into a greater revolt, the British would become more passive, and the Germans would have more chances of victory

"I need a tank, and a truck full of munitions!" Wang Weiyi suddenly made such a request to Xiao Ling.

"The 'Rambler' orders are accepted, tanks, weapons, and trucks are being prepared, but what do you want these things for?"

"Mutinous soldiers need support" Wang Weiyi had a smile on his face: "Support from Germany!" ”

"You're crazy!" Xiao Ling said this sentence that she had commented on Wang Weiyi countless times.

"Sometimes, people have to do crazy things." Wang Weiyi smiled faintly, and then he turned his head to Guo Yunfeng: "Four Blades, are you willing to take an adventure with me?" ”

"Where you go, where I go!" Guo Yunfeng always answered like this.

Wang Weiyi changed himself into a German military uniform, and then asked softly: "Four knives, are the skeleton battle flags ready?" ”

"You're really a madman, you want the Skeleton Banner to fly in Cairo." Guo Yunfeng couldn't help but muttered at this time.

Wang Weiyi laughed loudly: "Yes, let the skeleton battle flag fly on the streets of Cairo and tell our enemies that Germany is coming, and the skeleton baron is coming!" Xiao Ling, it seems that I have to need your help this time, and tear a bloody path through the British army's defense line with me! ”

Xiao Ling couldn't see the thoughts of the "Rambler", she really didn't know how these crazy thoughts were formed in the mind of the "Rambler"! (To be continued......)
