Chapter 288: Sneak Attack on Suez

"Hahaha, retribution, retribution!"

When Wolseley heard that the railway was destroyed, he finally burst into a burst of laughter, and the busy soldiers around him stopped, looking at the crazy Wolseley, they didn't know what was going on, but George the Duke of Cambridge at this time had not suffered such a disgrace, as if he was a dismount, and when he had just taken over the British ** team, the French gave a ruthless provocation.

"Do you really think your opponent is the same as those idiots before you? There were no troops along the railway line to protect it, which was really a mistake of Duke George. ”

Wolseley's sharp sarcasm made the Duke of Cambridge instantly understand that this was a gift from the other party, and it must have been Wolseley's removal of the guards along the railway before leaving office, which led to the success of the French sneak attack.

"Hey, don't look at me like that, I didn't do anything to be sorry for the British Empire. Isn't the logistics of the British notoriously bad? Otherwise, why have I been working so hard to reform the civil service? Isn't it to prevent you short-sighted superior officers from sending Great Britain into an irreparable position. Now that retribution has come, it is a very serious matter that the logistics of the front-line troops cannot keep up, and there will be a mutiny. ”

"You bastard...... Believe it or not......"

Wolseley just looked at him with cold eyes and asked, "What can you do?" ”

George tugged at his collar and said indignantly, "If there is anything wrong in this battle, you have to wait for a court-martial!" ”

Wolsley pushed the other away with disdain, he straightened his collar and said contemptuously, "This is your mistake, don't try to rely on my head." I had been relieved of all my rights before you arrived, which means that I was not qualified to command the troops, and these mistakes were not caused by me, but by your own fault. ”

He stepped past the Duke of Cambridge and, as if remembering something, turned back to him and said, "Speaking of court-martials...... I will wait for you in a court-martial. Duke of Cambridge, you don't know what kind of opponent you're up against. Napoleon...... He's far more terrifying than you think...... He's a monster, a monster through and through. ”

As if immersed in some memory, Wolseley said to himself, "We've all lived so long that we've forgotten what fear feels like." A century ago, France was a monster that swept across the continent. Now they're back, with hatred for their failures. Duke George, you better understand this, you are not facing the incompetent Second Emperor ** team during the Franco-Prussian War, now they are the elite of the Third Reich. A more terrifying bunch of monsters, I hope you can keep that in mind. ”

"It's not terrible to fail, it's terrible that you don't even see the shadow of your opponent. I'm no match for him, and you're blessed. ”

"Remember, there's no shame in admitting defeat."

Wolseley followed the officer aboard the warship docked in Alexandria, where he was about to return to London and be investigated by the Army Military Commission.

Standing on the side of the ship and looking back at the land for the last time, Wolsley knew it was the last time he would see the busy Mediterranean port.

He also knew very well that a strong person like the Duke of Cambridge would never admit defeat.

George looked at the other party's distant figure and said very disdainfully, "It's not shameful to admit defeat?" The British Army does not have the word "defeat" in the dictionary. ”

Before the ship carrying Walsley had left, the Duke of Cambridge was immediately thrown into battle. The logistics unit of the same case quickly formed a transport team of camels and horses to take the lead in transporting ammunition to the front line. British soldiers can fight hungry, but they must not be without bullets in the chamber, and this trick of the French is indeed vicious enough.

As mentioned earlier, the immediate priority was to have enough ammunition in the hands of the British soldiers and then slow down the offensive towards Cairo until the logistical supply lines were fully normal.

The Duke of Cambridge preliminarily judged that the French would not rush into attack. Because of the current superiority of the overall strength of the British, a rash attack would only cause heavy losses to the French army.

And George was also very sure that they would strengthen the defense of the Suez Canal, after all, in this battle, the preservation of the Suez Canal is the top priority, and now the French have concentrated their forces in Cairo, which means that the defense of the Suez Canal is empty. As long as he sent a force to attack the Suez Canal, the French would be met with only defeat.

Even if they occupied the southern part of Egypt, the most important hydraulic projects had already fallen into their hands. The London government can be used as a coercion at one time. Coerce the other side to end this war.

Thinking of this, the bridge only showed a satisfied smile, Wolseley was really a fool, if he did not choose to rashly attack Cairo from the beginning, but cut off their connection with the Suez Canal, the current French army would be caught in a dream.

As for the so-called Germans, the Duke of Cambridge did not take the other side seriously at all. The Second German Reich, which had come to fight soy sauce from the beginning, had no real intention of joining the war, but only wanted a piece of the pie from the struggle between Britain and France. And France is willing to use Germany's relationship to contain the other side's actions.

However, Britain had already decided that even a small piece of territory would never be left to the Germans.

Every colony was fought back with their blood.

The Duke of Cambridge had been thinking about how to deal with the French since before he stepped into England, and according to the information sent back by General Wolseley, he quickly formulated a corresponding strategy, and the moment he stepped off the ship, he prepared the actual battle plan.

"Attack logistics are nothing more than despicable means, strategic foresight is the decisive factor for success. The petty schemes of the French, in the face of absolute strength, are as naΓ―ve and stupid as a three-year-old. ”

The Duke of Cambridge laughed confidently after reading the map, he thought that his plan had been impeccable, and began to give orders in a hurry.

This order was to rout the French army.

"Now assemble a force to attack the Suez Canal, and be sure to take the Suez Canal before the other side comes to its senses, so that we will have bargaining chips with France."

"This operation can only succeed, not fail."

"I don't believe that these damned French can still push Britain into a corner?"
