Chapter 284: The Fear of Domination

In the slight fog of the Mediterranean sea, a behemoth appeared.

At this time, the battleship was slowly moving in the direction of the Mediterranean, and the rice flag hanging high on the mast declared the identity of the master.

This is the first time that the British fleet has infested this area. On the surface of the sea they are the Grim Reaper, no, a bunch of people who are more terrible than the Grim Reaper.

The battleship was able to easily tear through the deck of the man, and the Great Column still maintained its glory and splendor. Their wages will live on forever. As much as the title Queen Victoria, it is remembered by the world.

The Duke of Cambridge was pleasantly blowing the sea breeze and whistling. He finally waited for the situation he wanted to see the most, Wolseley was completely defeated in the battle of Egypt, and the originally easy encirclement and suppression battle eventually turned into a tug-of-war, and the British Army cavalry suffered heavy losses, which made the Queen of England feel very embarrassed, they were the British Empire. As a formidable imperial army, it is so likely to lose in the colonies of Egypt.

In the final analysis, it is because the geography of Egypt is too important. As a result, it was impossible for the British to abandon him as they did after the failure of the invasion of Afghanistan. Egypt must be firmly in your own hands. Otherwise, Britain's great ambition for world domination will be shattered.

"I really can't understand why the elite of Great Britain should lose so ugly in the face of a group of stupid French. Could it be that there is a gang of French spies in the upper echelons of our army? ”

The Duke of Cambridge was bitterly sarcastic about the losers. In his opinion, the British simply could not lose. They have the most advanced weapons, the most powerful army, and it is simply unreasonable to lose the war in Egypt compared to the defeats in South Africa and Afghanistan.

"Forget it, these wastes are only worthy of standing in the court-martialed and reflecting on themselves after they go back, what kind of glory can I get in the next Egyptian battlefield? We'll see. ”

The corners of the Duke of Cambridge's mouth drew an imperceptible smile, and at this time he did not know what the fear of being dominated by Napoleon was.

"Rubbish, it's all a bunch of rubbish, why can't you even handle the cavalry of the French? Great Britain has spent so much money to train its army, and it is not for you to be used as decorations! ”

"The cavalry is our most elite force, and you just let them die? If it weren't for the fact that I have been relieved of all my duties now, I would really want to destroy all of your officers with one shot. ”

Wallsley gritted his teeth and emphasized, "Get me court-martialed and then crash all of you." ”

The scolded officers did not dare to speak up, and it was indeed their mistake that they did not have time to rescue, because no one expected that the cavalry, who was encircling and intercepting, would be counter-killed by the enemy. In their previous experience, they had always been hungry wolves chasing prey, and they had been killed by others.

And now they finally know what it's like to be targeted by the French.

At this point, Wolseley was furious, for he really didn't know how to explain the crushing defeat of the Cavalry to the British Crown. Coupled with the fact that the Duke of Cambridge had already rushed to Egypt, he finally realized what a stupid mistake he had made.

The fate of dismissal is inescapable, and the hapless General Wolseley will be sent to a court-martial, where he will be tried in humiliation, and the Duke of Cambridge, who has different political views, will be able to suppress his rivals only when he sees his own accident.

"It's over, it's all over. I thought that Egypt would fight a turnaround, but now it seems that it is impossible. ”

Wolseley tugged at a few strands of hair and muttered, "Why, why did it fail in the end?" Do the French just have to concentrate on us, and leave nothing else to worry about? Is it that they have other little secrets that we haven't discovered. ”

"Is it that the French still haven't seen any small movements behind the scenes."

Wolseley's mind was full of question marks, and he was sure that nothing was so simple. If the French, who are inferior to themselves, were able to settle the situation in Egypt, there must have been other means. Unearthing these secrets is the most important thing.

"The reason why Britain suffered before was that it didn't anticipate those inconspicuous little moves. Where the hell did the French set up an ambush for him. Let's not figure it out? ”

He stared at the map, suddenly glanced at the Sudanese colony below Egypt, and then remembered something. The British had also stationed an army in Sudan, and at first Wolseley intended to use the British army in southern Sudan to contain some of Cairo's living forces. so that they can fall into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts. However, the Sultan did not show mercy, taking advantage of the civil strife in Egypt, the Sultan led troops to attack the colonial army, and now the whole situation is very passive.

He patted his head, as if realizing something.

"Sultan, by the way, and Sultan, why didn't I think of it? Judging from the map, Cairo is obviously a situation of being attacked on both sides, and the army stationed in Sudan has been slow to move, is Cairo already cooperating with the Mahdi Kingdom? This is very interesting, if the other party has already cooperated with the French, even if the Duke of Cambridge wants to fight back and forth, it is impossible. ”

"It seems that I am thinking too simply. Perhaps the French have long been at odds with the Sultan. ”

Using the Sudanese rebels to hold back the British, in this way, is tantamount to creating an opportunity for them. The army deployed in Cairo will be able to deal with the threat of going north as it pleases, ah, not in a two-point manner.

After thinking about it for a while, Wolsley decided to withhold this information, so that he would not be willing to provide any valuable intelligence information to his sworn enemy, and he also wanted to give the other party a taste of despair in the face of the French.

If I lose, you don't want to have a good life.

"You don't need to call me sir, the telegram you have just sent from the British. I've been disqualified as a commander, and they're going to appoint another person to lead you in battle. He will parachute directly into the command and take over all the powers. As for whether he is a commander of the United Nations, it is a matter of opinion. Hopefully, his LinkedIn army will not repeat the mistakes of the past. Hopefully, he knows exactly what kind of character his opponent is. This is still the first battle, and countless nightmares await him. Duke of Cambridge, I hope you will always remember this name. ”

On this day, Wolsley felt the fear of being dominated by Napoleon.

"Always remember your opponent, whose name is Napoleon."

"And it's a monster."
