Great Britain has never shown mercy to the loser, and since the Hundred Years' War hundreds of years ago, the ancient aristocracy realized that only a completely destroyed enemy could survive in the cruel lands of the continent. From the threat of the old imperial France to the new sworn enemy of Germany, every British prime minister can be said to have never slept well. They are always afraid that tomorrow when they open their eyes, the declaration of war will be handed to them through the diplomatic ambassadors of other countries.

In fact, Prime Minister Gladstone has never understood why France has become his enemy overnight. The cooperation between Britain and France, a key element in countering the rise of Germany, was abandoned overnight by the Tuileries in favor of its enemies. For a time, Prime Minister Gladstone even thought that his foreign policy was wrong there, and it was only when they began to put pressure on the Transvaal and Egypt that the Prime Minister realized that France had set up a situation against Britain from the beginning.

Including the plundering of gold and the robbery of Egypt, everything was a conspiracy that they had already designed.

They would challenge the British order, joining forces with Germany to plunder London's overseas colonies.

Enraged, Prime Minister Gladstone finally made a decision to take back all the colonies, if not to attack France, and let them go around.

"I have absolutely no way to forgive, the atrocities of the French, including what they did to Great Britain. I will make them pay with blood. Let the dwarf who pretended to be Napoleon know what happened to him if he annoyed Great Britain. I'm going to let the leaders of the Tuileries die. ”

These were the last words of the Duke of Cambridge to Prime Minister Gladstone before he left.

The Prime Minister had not noticed that he had hoisted his flag high, and that the British Army's recent defeats had failed to make their Army aware of the gap between itself and France and Germany.

Prime Minister Gladstone even wanted to reclaim the Hundred Years' War during the Finch-Gazette dynasty and regain the territory lost in France hundreds of years ago.

Of course, all this is just a beautiful idea, and this conflict in Egypt is enough to make the British rack their brains. Although they controlled most of the Mediterranean, they were able to create a steady supply line to transport supplies to Egypt in conjunction with the surrounding colonial armies. However, almost all the colonies along the coast of North Africa were French, who had an important geographical advantage, and the poor British fleet could only be stationed near Alexandria to ensure that they could control the coastline. Going deeper inland, the British Army would have to fetch its own fortune.

By this time, Colonel Hicks, the British ambassador in India, had led more than 10,000 men in an uprising against the Mahdi faction in Sudan, but the letter sent back to the Duke of Cambridge made the other party worried. The reason is because Colonel Hicks's encirclement and suppression are becoming more and more difficult. Instead of exterminating the natives, they began to make a big noise.

Originally, the Duke of Cambridge hoped that after they had quelled the Sultan's unrest, they could form a front and rear attack on Cairo. Now it seems that I am purely thinking too much. Colonel Hicks is better to ask for more blessings, they can handle the Sultan's rebellion is good. Expect them to be able to help flank the French in the rear? Dream on.

By this time the fleet had landed at Alexandria, and soon they would attack down the Nile in Egypt and eventually reach Cairo. Moreover, the Duke of Cambridge had decided to divide his troops into two routes, attacking Cairo and trying to take the Suez Canal at the same time. Cut off the last thought of the French to negotiate.

Stepping on the blazing soil of Egypt, the Duke of Cambridge could already feel the heat in his face, and the soldiers were busy transporting mountains of munitions to the front. After the Army Reform of 1870 began, Britain's poor logistics situation improved significantly, and there was no longer a scandal of the angel in white, Nightingale, sneaking into the munitions depot to steal medicine for wounded soldiers.

The docks are still busy. The construction of the Egyptian railroad was the only thing Britain could be proud of, and it was even more proof that the trains were able to transport everything to the front line so quickly.

Unfortunately, there are not many railway lines in Egypt, so the logistics of the British army are still busy.

The Duke of Cambridge decided to meet his old rival, Wolseley.

Although the two did not have any personal enmity, their differences in political views led to-for-tat confrontation with them. By this time, Wolseley had been relieved of his official position and was only quietly waiting for his fate.

"I'm not one of the Wolsley idiots who would lose to the French, who were far inferior to me, in Egypt. The face of Great Britain was disgraced by them. ”

The Duke of Cambridge did not believe in the legend of the invincible Napoleon of France, which was already at the beginning of the century. In fact, the Battle of Waterloo ended the last glory of the French, and it was the British.

At this time, the train was heading in the direction of Cairo. Unbeknownst to them, Mahdi's partisans had crossed the blockade and infiltrated the British rear. Their actions were designed to destroy the trains of the British and to block their logistical transport.

Boom, boom.

As the huge wheels of the train ran over the steel tracks, it made a seeping sound that echoed across the yellow sandy land. The year-round heat near the equator did not stop the start of the war, and a long line was dragging through the head of the coal-burning steam engine in the direction of Cairo.

The raging sand, the hot steel rails, and the explosives and fuses buried under the sand.

In the other layer of the valley, there was a breathtaking noise, and the roar of the steel behemoth could be heard far away.

Machines of steel are slowly moving towards the front lines of war through the desolate desert. The British army made full use of this transport route. Huge burden is taken off for their logistical work. However, there is also the problem that this well-known transport route is easy to target by the guerrillas.

It would have been enough to blow up the railroad tracks, which would have put a significant strain on the logistics of the British.

Ahmet's cavalry was approaching the railway, and when the train left the canyon, it would enter an open desert area, and this desert area was the best place for them to prepare to attack.

The explosives supplied by the French were enough to overturn the advancing train.

Ahmed, the leader, looked condescendingly at the indefinitely stretched railroad tracks, and another rumbling sound was coming from the valley, which he knew was the signal of the imminent arrival of the English train.

The French provided explosives, and they provided manpower, which was originally a tacit cooperation of the battle plan.

His weather-beaten face could not hide the sharp edge under his eyes, and in his right hand he held a revolver presented by Napoleon, the hammer already open.

He whispered mockingly, "I don't know what the new British commander will look like when he knows that his railroad has been bombed." ”
