The coup d'état in Egypt has brought about tremendous changes in the situation in the Middle East. Ismail gained the support of the military and soon seized power in Egypt. Plus he was Muhammad in the first place. Ali's grandson, the son of Ibrahim, made him very influential in the hearts of the Egyptian people. In addition, the Chinese Empire made it clear that it supported Ismail. So, in just a week, Ismail was in complete control of the situation.

At this time, merchant ships from the Chinese Empire transported a large number of weapons and equipment to Egypt, and the rifles, machine guns, cannons, etc., produced in China, greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Egyptian army. Originally, they might not be able to confront the Ottoman Turkish Empire because of their inferior weapons. But now, the gap in this area is gone.

Ismail ordered an expansion of the army, expanding the size of the Egyptian army from 200,000 to 500,000 to meet the challenges ahead. Although, he has already sent someone to Istanbul to ask Sultan Abdul. Mejid I canonized him as the Pasha of Egypt. But he knew that the Ottoman Turkish Empire would certainly not agree. No, what ushered in was the conquest army of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

At the same time, the kingdom of Najd in the Arabian Peninsula was also on the move. The Chinese Empire provided a lot of weapons to the Kingdom of Najd, which caused the army of the Kingdom of Najd to exchange guns. Once the situation is chaotic, they will definitely take the opportunity to attack north and further expand their territory.

On the plains of Ukraine and the Balkans, too, the intelligence officers of the empire were active. The local rebels began to resurge after receiving financial support from the Chinese Empire. If it weren't for the fact that the Ottoman Turks were stationed with heavy troops, they would have risen a long time ago.

Other than that. The Kingdom of Afghanistan was also ordered by the Chinese Empire to begin to gather troops in northern Persia. and the Ottoman Turkish Empire. For the current Kingdom of Afghanistan, it is somewhat too early. But. With Egypt and the kingdoms of Najd, as well as other resistance forces, the Ottoman Empire was able to put not many troops on the battlefield. King Akbar Khan of Afghanistan had always hoped to become the new caliph of the Islamic world, and this attack on the Ottoman Turkish Empire was an opportunity. If he succeeds, he may be able to become the ruler of the Islamic world. Of course, even if this battle cannot be completely won, it will be able to weaken the Ottoman Turkish Empire and create favorable conditions for the next war. Therefore. The Kingdom of Afghanistan was not at all resistant to an attack on the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

The situation in the Middle East as a whole seems to have become volatile overnight. The rule of the Ottoman Turkish Empire seems to have been in turmoil. Sultan Abdul. Mejid I ordered that the troops of the Ottoman Turkish Empire be brought to the highest state of combat readiness and actively prepared for war.

"What the hell is going on? How did those guys rebel overnight? "Abdul. Mejid I roared with rage, like an angry lion. Before, he was still sitting on the dream of the Ottoman Turkish Empire becoming the world's top power, but now he has woken up. He realized that his country was so weak and full of problems, like a broken ship sailing on the sea. There are leaks everywhere, and there is a possibility of sinking into the sea at any time. This makes Abdul. Mejid I was terrified and a little unable to believe such a fact.

"陛xià. It's really weird. Under the strong pressure of the empire, the resistance forces everywhere have been quelled. Right now. But they're starting again. This is obviously impossible without the support of external forces. "Ali. Pasha said.

"Chinese. It must have been done by the Chinese. They wanted to ruin the Ottoman Empire because we refused to join the Peace League and obey their orders. Therefore, they wanted to destroy the Ottoman Turkish Empire. I'm not going to let their plot succeed! "Abdul. Mejid I said through gritted teeth. Although there is no evidence, his viscount sued him that it must have been a conspiracy of the Chinese.

"Your Majesty, then what should we do? Is it a direct dispatch of the army to suppress it? When the time comes, will it cause the Chinese to intervene? "Fouad. Pasha said worriedly. Originally, in the face of rebellions in various places, the army of the Ottoman Turkish Empire should have immediately suppressed them. But now, he sensed that things were getting a little tricky. If the Chinese Empire is dragged in, the consequences will be even more severe.

"Get the army ready, be sure to crush those damn rebellions!" Abdul. Mejid I said through gritted teeth.

"Your Majesty, we may be able to seek the support of the German Empire. If the Chinese Empire really intervenes, we can use the power of the German Empire to confront the Chinese Empire. In this way, it can also make the Chinese Empire jealous and dare not interfere lightly. At most, they will give some support to those rebels, such as weapons and equipment, and intelligence, and will not blatantly meddle in the war! "Mustafa. Lester. Pasha said. He also guessed that this must be the handiwork of the Chinese Empire. Because of the non-cooperation of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Chinese Empire has regarded the Ottoman Turkish Empire as an enemy. In order to remove the threat of the Ottoman Turkish Empire to the Chinese Empire in the future, they took the first action.

"Hmmm! Immediately contact the Germans, the Ottoman Empire needed their help. Also, protest to the Chinese against their actions to undermine the stability of the Ottoman Turkish Empire! "Abdul. Mejid I said angrily.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Mustafa. Lester. Pasha nodded. However, he did not think the protests would be effective. The Chinese Empire simply would not have heeded the protests of the Ottoman Turks. After all, they can completely disagree with it.

"Your Majesty, if we are going to suppress it, I am afraid that the number of our troops will not be enough. Although the empire had a million troops, half a million of them were deployed in the Ukrainian plains and the Balkans. If the locals are honest, we can draw troops from both places. But now, once again, their resistance has revived. This makes it impossible for us to draw troops from here at all. If we were to attack Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula at the same time, we would need to send 300,000 or more troops! "Fouad. Pasha said.

Abdul. Mejid I frowned, and then said, "Let's get the army ready first!" Wait until there is definite news, and then send the army to suppress it! ”

Egypt's de facto independence has always been a thorn in the heart of the monarchs of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. It has been half a century since Egypt broke away from the control of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. All along, the Ottoman Turkish Empire wanted to recover Egypt. After all, among the many provinces of the Ottoman Empire, Egypt was also considered to be very powerful. Especially after the conquest of Sudan, the population of Egypt was almost 10 million. The total population of the Ottoman Empire was just over 40 million and less than 50 million. If Egypt could be controlled, it would make the Ottoman Empire even stronger.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Ismail overthrew Muhammad. Said's rule, which was clearly against the Empire. Mohammed. Said was an Egyptian Pasha appointed by the Empire, and no one but the Empire could remove him from office, let alone kill him. Either way, the Empire's army needs to pacify Egypt! "Abdul. Said Mejid I.

The Pasha knew that Abdul. Mejid I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to completely recover Egypt. If it had been more than ten years ago, the Ottoman Turkish Empire would have been powerless. An expedition to Egypt, which would consume a lot of national power. At the same time, the Egyptian army was not weak in combat, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire would not necessarily be able to achieve victory if it went on an expedition. But now, it's different. Egypt is still the same, but the power of the Ottoman Turkish Empire has changed dramatically. Among other things, the Ottoman Turks' powerful navy allowed them to land lightly on the coast of Egypt and then send a large army to attack Cairo directly. As long as the Nile Delta can be taken, Egypt will be completely finished.

More than 90 percent of Egypt is desert. The vast majority of people live in the Nile Delta and the Nile Valley. After the loss of the Nile Delta, Egypt can be said to have perished.

"Your Majesty, now is indeed a good opportunity to pacify Egypt. However, if the Chinese strongly support Egypt, it may not be easy for us to win. "Ali. Pasha said

"As long as the Chinese blatantly support Egypt and do not send troops to fight us directly, there should be no problem in pacifying Egypt, right?" As for the rebellion in other regions, it is only a minor problem. The army of the Ottoman Empire could be expanded at any time. "Abdul. Mejid I was already determined to make a move against Egypt. He knew that this was a great opportunity, and if he missed it, he might not be able to encounter such a good opportunity again in the future.

"Yes, Your Majesty. As long as the Chinese do not directly send troops to fight us, we will be able to defeat Egypt! "Fouad. Pasha also said. As the commander of the army of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, he was still relatively confident in the army of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Even if it is inferior to the Chinese * army and the German * army, but against the Egyptians, there should be no problem. (To be continued......)
