Chapter 214: The Layout of the War in Egypt

Berenese is a small fishing village located in the southeastern corner of Egypt on the coast of the Red Sea! There are less than 300 fishermen in the village! Although they do not earn much money by fishing in the Red Sea every day, there is a rare tranquility and peace in this small closed village! None of the previous national turmoil in Egypt has affected here!

However, this situation was completely broken on the night of April 28, when a large number of troops dressed in Egyptian uniforms poured into Berenise, as the villagers watched with fear!

"Instructor, according to your orders, Berenicee has been fully controlled by our army! In addition, the small boats we have prepared, plus the fishing boats in the village, have reached four hundred!"

Looking at this tall and strong Egyptian officer named Muhammad Ayub in front of him, Huo Zhiguang's eyes couldn't help but show a faint smile! When this major general of the Egyptian Army's Third Division received an order from the War Department to make their division's army of more than 20,000 people obey the orders of a Chinese, he was not as obedient as he is now! Although this guy did not dare to oppose because of Muhammad Arabi's military order, the disobedient eyes and actions were too obvious! There was no way to ensure his control over this army, Huo Jianguang took his dragon tooth special forces, 100 special forces, and the Egyptian soldiers of the third division staged an all-martial arts! The result was obvious, even if he put down the guns and weapons and all kinds of sharp sabers, crossbows and other cold weapons, just by relying on his fists and feet, he also let these guys who had never seen Chinese martial arts understand what real strength is!

In less than ten minutes. More than five thousand Egyptian soldiers lay on the ground, as well as the dragon's tooth special forces unscathed. Muhammad Ayyub was completely stunned! Such a strong soldier was beyond his imagination! Therefore, everything that remained was in order! In the army of that country, the subordination of the weak to the strong is a common truth!

"Well, General, your order is well accomplished! Order the soldiers to be around twenty kilometers in all directions! Not even a fly can let it fly through your blockade!

"Understood, instructor, I'm going to give the order!" replied Ayub without hesitation!

Glancing lightly at his figure running away quickly, Huo Zhiguang turned his head to look at the turbulent sea that was immersed in the thick darkness under the starlight in the sky!

"Captain, look!" At this moment, a dragon tooth special soldier standing behind Huo Zhiguang pointed to the sea in the distance in surprise. The tone of the tone could not hide the surprise sè!

Hearing his words, Huo Zhiguang was stunned, and immediately looked intently in the direction he was pointing! I saw that a little bit of firelight had begun to sway on the sea in the distance! Although Huo Zhiguang didn't know much about the navy's lantern language, he could also see that this was the goal of this waiting! Sure enough, after a period of exchange of lantern language, there was immediately a jīng strong soldier wearing the Huo Jiajun camouflage sè field military uniform, but without epaulettes and collar flowers. I ran over with a happy face!

"Captain! We've got in touch! It's a fleet sent by the military headquarters!"

"Great! Send out all the ships we have prepared at once!" Huo Zhiguang ordered with a happy face!

This is because all the weapons and equipment that Huo Jiajun transported this time were ocean-going freighters of more than 5,000 tons! In Berenice, a place where there are not even basic port facilities, there is no way to dock at all, and they can only rely on small boats to carry all kinds of materials one by one! Of course, there are many good ports in northern Egypt, but these places are crowded and too close to Europe, and the closer they are to the Suez Canal. The British inspections are becoming more and more strict! Huo Jiajun's ships carrying private goods cannot pass through!

Although it is very cumbersome to transport by boat, it is still very worthwhile without the danger of exposure!

Seeing that there are more and more materials piled up on the shore, the Egyptian army responsible for carrying them is also getting busier!

"General! The Cheetah Special Forces Captains Lin Guoping, Zheng Rong, and Pang Wan Chūn report to you!" "With the continuous increase in the number of special forces in the Huo Family Army, at least half of the personnel of the special forces in the Cheetah have been replaced! And the original three captains have also become the commanders of the three special forces of Cobra, Sea Lion, and Snow Wolf! Now the three of them have been promoted from the position of squadron leader because of their own combat exploits! Of course, the current Cheetah Special Forces are still under the direct jurisdiction of Huo Bao, who is already the commander of the special forces! No new commander has been appointed!

"Well, I have almost received the order from the military headquarters! I am afraid that we will have to fight side by side in the next few years!" Huo Zhiguang smiled and patted them on the shoulder, and said with a smile! Now he has been appointed as the supreme commander of the Huo family's military operations in Egypt. Responsible for commanding the dragon teeth, cheetahs, and the Huo family army troops who were sent here to carry out tasks in the future!

"Yes! General!"

"Don't be so serious! There is no combat mission yet! Besides, I have arranged your lodging for you soon! Tomorrow I will have a day off and recover my mental and physical strength, and I will have a new order for you!"

――――――

This is already because of the fourth cabinet meeting held by the Chinese People's Army in the Far East! However, the ministers of the various ministries of the cabinet, who had been sitting in the conference room of the Prime Minister's Office for almost a day, still did not come up with a practical Nanyang policy! Looking at the documents on the table, Gladstone pinched his eyebrows tiredly! The changes in the Far East caught him off guard and made him uncomfortable at the same time! The powerful military strength displayed by the Chinese People's Army also made him hesitate incomparably in his heart! And the originally planned military action has been repeatedly delayed! Of course, what is even more difficult for him to decide in his heart is this extended telegram that has just been sent from the Far East! No one can refuse such a temptation for an order of 150 million pounds! Even the British Empire, which has a developed economy and a strong industrial base!

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have dragged on long enough! Now is the time for us to make up our minds! War or peace! Minister Gwiner of the Far East is still anxiously waiting for our telegram!" Somewhat tired eyes slowly swept over each member of the cabinet, and Gladstone said in a calm tone!

"Prime Minister! I don't agree with going to war! The Chinese are too strong. If we choose war, it doesn't matter if we win or lose. Our losses will be very heavy! This is not in the interests of our British Empire! And our heroic soldiers are not obliged to make such sacrifices for the Netherlands! In addition, the order of 150 million Chinese can solve our minimum of 500,000 jobs, and our industrial scale will also expand rapidly due to the increase in demand! And this means that the empire has more taxes and more strength! I think in the face of heavy losses and huge gains, you should know how to choose!" George Orbins, who had just served as Chancellor of the Exchequer for a short time, said solemnly, "Also, the domestic economy and industry of Germany and the United States are developing at a rapid rate of % per year, while our economic growth rate last year was only %. If this state of affairs continues, then as long as there are another ten years, or even less than ten years, then the empire's position as the first in comprehensive national strength that has been maintained for decades will be completely lost!"

"Shall we allow those filthy yellow pigs to occupy the East Indies and threaten the Strait of Malacca, which is vital to us? And how shall we give an account to the Dutch? and besides, will we abandon the policy of continental balance that we have carried out for hundreds of years?" asked Robert Gacesco, First Sea Lord, in a divine manner!

After hearing his words, Gladstone couldn't help frowning. The British Royal Navy's long-term situation of having no rivals in the seas has made almost every British Navy soldier extremely arrogant! And as their supreme commander, Robert Gaiscoinsey, a British aristocrat whose mind is full of the idea of 'white supremacy,' has no good impression of the yellow-skinned pagans in the Far East, so there is no respect between words!

He looked at the expressions on the faces of the others around him. Gladstone couldn't help but sigh in his heart! As in the situation just now, zhèngfǔ supported peace more and got a huge order of 150 million from the Chinese! And within the military, especially the navy, which occupies an important position in Britain, more wants war!

"Marshal, if we choose to carry out, how much will it cost your army to completely defeat the Chinese People's Army and eventually occupy the entire East Indies?" Gladstone looked at the seat not far away. God sè quiet war secretary of state David Clark!

"Prime Minister, if 400,000 soldiers are dispatched, plus the cooperation of the navy. I think we have a chance of taking the East Indies!" David Clark said expressionlessly, but there was some helplessness in his tone!

Hearing his words, Gladstone was stunned, he did not expect that this Imperial Field Marshal, who had always been known for his toughness, would say such words that were almost equivalent to giving up! 400,000 Army! Now all the regular Army of the entire British Empire combined is just over 320,000! Therefore, David Clark's attitude against the war has been very clear!

"Knock knock......!" Just as Gladstone was about to say something, there was a sudden knock on the door of the conference room!

"Prime Minister, we have just received news that the Egyptian national political party, the Fatherland Party, has formed a parliamentary cabinet and has taken full control of Egypt's military and political power, and its leader Mohammed al-Arabi has also announced the abolition of the system of 'double supervision', and they have also expelled our Canal Governor and declared the Suez Canal to belong to Egypt!"

This brief news was not mentioned in the ears of the military and political officials, and they were dizzy with the explosion, and the important importance of the Suez Canal did not need to be explained, and almost every Englishman understood what this narrow waterway connecting Europe and Asia meant to the British Empire! Without it, Britain would lose control of the world!

"Prime Minister, we need to declare war on Egypt! We need to maintain the Empire's absolute control over the Suez Canal!" At this time, Robert Gacescoin Selsi didn't care about the Far East! The navy was the most important thing in his heart, and the importance of the Suez Canal to the navy was the most clear in his heart!

Listening to his words, everyone also understood that it was impossible to wage war against the Chinese and people's armies in the Far East! A war on both sides was really bad for Britain!

If the Egyptians do not return the Suez Canal and cancel all hostile policies against the British Empire, according to our will, then we will take everything back with war!"

"Karl! Send a message to Minister Gwyner! Britain and China will formally establish diplomatic relations at the level of ministers! In addition, tell him that the order must be brought back to England!" Gladstone looked at the god and carefully instructed his official secretary with some helplessness!

"I see, Prime Minister!"
