The second part, the second part of the trilogy is ready, and then write about the USSR. The editor has already said that it is okay, let it be written.

At a time of turmoil in Egypt, Ahmet called for both rich and poor, against oppression, against British and Egyptian rule, and to lead the people to revolt.

He was indeed a legend of the Sultan, having annihilated more than 10,000 British troops in 1883 and conquered Khartoum in 1885, killing George Gordon, the British Inspector-General who had participated in the suppression of the Taiping Rebellion. The unification of scattered tribes laid the foundation for the establishment of the Mahdi state.

The prolific leader of the Sudanese nation was amazed by Napoleon's heavy-handed methods.

Ahmed had never seen such a perverse leader cut off the enemy's fingers as a gift to himself. Looking at the bloody finger, Ahmet felt that he was warning himself not to act rashly, or he would end up like the British.

In the face of this kind reminder, Ahmed could only squeeze out a twisted smile. Working with the French was not his first choice, and if it weren't for the Egyptian idiots trying to keep Sudan their colony after independence, Ahmet's rebels would have preferred to work with the Egyptians rather than with the Great Powers. Egypt has already given a bloody example, and now let alone Egypt's independence, it is not known who will die in the end.

But at least the French are now more sincere than the British, and they are willing to sit down and negotiate with the Sudanese people.

If it were the British, I am afraid that another bloody war would have been fought long ago.

"After the war is over, France can withdraw from the Sultan and you will establish a state independently. We will not interfere with the will of the Sudanese people, on the condition that you help us to defeat the British invaders. ”

Ahmedes asked probingly, "What if there is no way to defeat the British invaders?" After so many years of fighting the British, you should know what they are capable of, even if you can have the upper hand in the first war, the Egyptian campaign can turn the tide. You didn't hit the whole country hard, Britain can still mobilize troops from other colonies, and don't forget that Cairo is now a transportation hub between Africa, Europe and Asia, and everyone is watching here, including the Ottoman Empire. ”

"Don't forget, the reason why Britain has been operating here for so many years is because of its strong economic and military strength, coupled with the cooperation of Paris, it is enough to stand firm and strong, and now what do you have? This war is not like the execution of a British officer and the severing of a finger to vent his anger. ”

"Even I, a sultan, can see through this, and His Excellency Napoleon may not be able to see through it, right?"

Ahmet did not hesitate to point out France's Achilles' heel, a weakness that Napoleon was trying to reverse. He wondered how Paris would resolve those issues, and that only after they had resolved those crucial issues would they be able to sit down and talk about the national independence of the Sudan.

Napoleon, however, asked a crucial question.

"So do you favor the French to win, or do you support the British to win?"

"Suppose the British win. Then it is a pity that Egypt, including the Suez Canal, will fall into the hands of the British. They don't sit down with you like we do, and anyone who dares to try to resist will be killed, that's how they always do. When the Sudanese people don't even have a reliable ally, what are you going to do with the British? With those broken guns, or is it your cultist's unique suicide attack? Believe me, they will always have a steady supply of supplies, but you don't, all you have is to take your lives to fill that hole. ”

"Do you know why the British Native Colonists have been taking no further action against you lately? Because the French are pinning down their forces on the border, do you think that with their backward weapons you can deal a heavy blow to the British? ”

Napoleon threw out a thought-provoking question.

Ahmet thought for a long time that without the help of the French, the struggle for Sudan's independence movement would have gone a long way. If the French really won the final victory, then they didn't need to fight any longer. Cooperation with France was by far the only way out for Sudan, as they could no longer find a more reliable partner.

"I see."

Ahmed stood up, he already knew the answer. So I'm not going to stay here any longer.

"The Sudanese side will make reasonable arrangements for everything, including all our cooperation, and the Sudanese side will send troops to help the French army repel the aggressors, but I also hope that when the situation in Egypt calms down, France will keep its promise and give freedom to the Sudanese people."

"Of course we will keep our promises. Including the Khedif government and General Hicks now stationed in Sudan, France will not let this force escape from your hands when the time comes. ”

Ahmed's eyes lit up, and he finally got the all-important promise. What Egyptian coup d'état and civil strife, he has no interest at all, only about the fate of the Sultan, and he must firmly seize the opportunity.

Napoleon sent Ahmet to the door, and as if he had suddenly thought of something, he turned and walked into the tent. When he came out, he had an extra wooden box in his hand.

"Wait a minute, Ahmed, my friend."

"What is this?"

Napoleon walked up to him, handed the wooden box to him, and said with a smile, "Take this gift back and tell your people about the determination of France to fight the British, and stand firmly on the side of the Sudanese people." Resolutely resist the British invaders. ”

Ahmet, who had been vigilant, finally smiled, nodded and said to Napoleon, "Yes, I will tell our people that France is a friend of the Sultan." ”

Ahmet was finally able to leave with peace of mind, and decided to actively join the war against the British, but Napoleon stood behind him with a strange smile.

As the carriage gradually moved away, the smile that had been hanging on the corner of his mouth slowly calmed down. Napoleon stood still, staring thoughtfully into the desert.

Everyone can feel the growing tension and the cold smell of death that permeates this desert.

The roar of artillery fire continued in the distance, and the angry British should have attacked. The French had already prepared a strategy to deal with it, and as soon as the moment they attacked, the British had already stepped into a nightmare.

France will not let the other side go back unharmed.

When Conrobert came over, he felt a little strange, and said to Napoleon, "We promised him that the colony would become independent?" We can turn around and deprive the enemy of their independence and freedom after defeating them. ”

Napoleon's eyes looked into the distance, and he said slowly, "Yes, France can indeed turn its face." But I am prepared not to interfere in every move of the Sudanese people. Anyway, this colony is not ours, it is just a personal favor. Besides, there are three parties in Egypt that are playing politics, and we are not in a position to unilaterally decide anything. As for the puppet government and the British colonial army stationed in Sudan, I still hope that this group of native Sudanese troops can resist, otherwise the Cairo government will be attacked on both sides, which is not a situation I want to see. ”

The elite expeditionary force of more than 10,000 people will be annihilated by the local troops led by Ahmed in the future, and the strength of the British Army really does not dare to compliment.

Napoleon said calmly, "But we can't guarantee that the Germans will take over the colony, and whatever the final outcome, the chances of the Sultan's independence are close to zero." In the same way, we also hope that the Germans will be more resistant than the British, and that they will not be in an embarrassing situation. ”

Napoleon appeared very confident, and although a series of measures formulated and implemented by Ahmet dealt a heavy blow to the feudal autocracy, they did not fundamentally touch the economic foundation of the entire feudal society. Engels hit the nail on the head at the root cause: "All these campaigns under the cloak of religion are caused by economic reasons; However, even in the event of victory, these movements have preserved the original economic conditions. In this way, everything is business as usual again, and the conflict becomes cyclical. ”

So in the end, Napoleon added, "Ahmet will not have two years to live anyway, and as soon as he dies, the Sultan will still want to escape from Germany?" ”
