The words of the old partner made Wang Cunshan speechless for a long time, and he heard the concerns in Huo Zhiguang's words. According to the character of the British and www.biquge.info the performance of the past Boer War and the Afghan War, if the war cannot be won and the consumption is very large, the British will choose to negotiate, and then gradually control the weak country through economic means, soft and hard, they used this means to control India little by little, and turned it into their own colony and the most brilliant pearl in the crown of the queen.
After all, the war in Egypt for more than three years has cost Britain nearly 800 million pounds, and the domestic economic crisis is becoming more and more serious, and the Suez Canal has been controlled, even with the rich family wealth accumulated by the British over the centuries, they are not willing to spend more energy and time for Egypt, a land where 96% of the land is desert.
After all, Egypt is not the only country in the world today, but there was a large area of land in Africa in 1885 that no one occupied. And as a rival to Europe, France has accelerated its own occupation of Indochina. The Germans, who had just possessed the most powerful army in Europe and whose industrial and economic power were directly rivaling that of the British, had already infiltrated Tanganyika, Rwanda, and Burundi, and were actively infiltrating Uganda and Kenya, and even the greedy Russians were actively expanding into the Far East and the Middle East. The British could not have allowed Egypt to restrain themselves from expanding their colonies and striving for world domination. So. An early end to the war in Egypt was the common idea of all the British Cabinet and Parliament.
The idea would allow them to end the war in a decent way without being able to take full control of Egypt. After all, Muhammad al-Arabi, who was arrogant and hated British rule, was dead. The British were confident that with the influence they had accumulated in Egypt over the centuries, they would be able to influence the Egyptian regime by re-selecting agents who were friendly to them within Egypt.
But this result is exactly what Huo Jiajun wants, after all, they still need the Egyptians to stand in the way, attract the attention of the British, and buy time for the stability of the South Seas and the Americas.
Also, in Egypt, a land full of yellow sand. Even though Huo Jiajun has been in business for three years, this is more reflected in the military aspect, and in order to avoid exposing himself. The two special forces of the Huo family army often appeared in front of the Egyptian army with their faces covered, so when it came to influence, they were not as good as the British.
So, in order to further drag the British in Egypt, to avoid the Egyptians from falling back into the gentle trap carefully constructed by the British. Achieve the strength of the Huo family army to consume the British in Egypt. The purpose of buying time for their own development was to have only one option - to continue to deepen the hatred between Britain and Egypt. Only the unquenchable hatred can make it impossible for Britain to stop its aggression against Egypt and establish the determination of the Egyptians to resist aggression.
And death is the best catalyst for this hatred, especially in human rights-loving Europe, where nothing can exacerbate tensions more than massacres!
Thinking of this, Wang Cunshan also understood the painstaking efforts of his old comrades-in-arms. But now they have all the captured British soldiers in their hands. Including the wounded, the number exceeded 200,000. Although they come from all over the world. And it's not a Chinese person, but after all, this is more than 200,000 people, not more than 200,000 pigs, if they are all killed, the bloodshed will cause a great sensation in the world, Wang Cunshan can completely imagine.
At that time, even if everyone in the British cabinet wants to stop this war, they will not be able to stop due to the public opinion at home. In addition, Wang Cunshan, who knew these powers, was sure that if they waited for the British to attack again, they would not have maintained a superficial tolerance for the Egyptian people as before.
Revenge, bloody revenge, the British, who worship the law of the jungle, will surely set off an even more bloody massacre in Egypt to avenge their slaughtered soldiers. It is foreseeable that in the future, more brutal battles will break out in this land full of yellow sand. And these are exactly what Huo Jiajun wants to see, and they are also the motives for Huo Zhiguang to choose to kill these Egyptian prisoners.
"Alas!" Wang Cunshan sighed deeply, although he decided in his heart that he was a little sorry for the Egyptians, but the young master's previous teaching and his own years of energy had already understood the cruelty of this world.
"There is no real emotion between countries, only eternal and unchanging interests!" At this time, Wang Cunshan's mind remembered a sentence that the young master often put on his lips. Now he understands this sentence more profoundly.
"What are you going to do?" After making a decision in his heart, the expression on Wang Cunshan's face also became calm, and after taking a deep breath, he turned around and asked with a serious expression.
Hearing this, the nervousness in Huo Zhiguang's heart relaxed, just now he was still thinking about how to persuade Wang Cunshan to agree with his opinion, after all, this is not a joke, but a bloody killing of 200,000 people, if it were not for a strong-willed person, he would not agree to this decision at all.
"Three days later, all the banks of the Nile outside Cairo will be killed, and not a single one will be left!"
Hearing this, Wang Cunshan couldn't help but nodded, Cairo City, as the capital of Egypt, not only has a large population, but also because of Egypt's superior geographical location and the glorious culture accumulated over 5,000 years, a large number of Europeans have also gathered in Cairo City, and I believe that there must be many spies from various countries in it. When the time comes, it is just through their mouths that this massacre will be promoted, and even if the British want to block the news, it will be useless.
"Our people can't do it, let Hassel do it!" Wang Cunshan said in a deep voice after thinking about it.
Hussein Hassar is a downline developed by the Huo Jiajun Military Intelligence Bureau in Egypt, but when the Egyptian Servant Army was formed, Huo Zhiguang needed a part of the backbone as an officer, so he asked him over, and in three years, this was just a gangster in Cairo at the beginning, and now he has become one of the senior officers of the Huojia Army's Egyptian Servant Army.
Nodding silently, Huo Zhiguang understood the concerns in his old friend's heart, this matter was too important, if one was not handled well and let the British find the head of the Huo family, it would not only go against his original intention of setting off this massacre, but also likely to cause a big war between the British and the Huo family. It wasn't what he wanted to see.
"The fewer people who know about this matter, the better, and after this is done, wipe out all the Egyptians who know our identity!" Huo Zhiguang said.
Hearing this, Wang Cunshan also understood that now was not the time for a woman's benevolence, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes at the moment, "But in this way, I'm afraid that our command of these Egyptian troops will be affected!"
"It's okay! It's a big deal. The point is to stir up hatred between Egypt and the British, and not to make suspicion of us!"
"Well, what do we say about the young master?" Wang Cunshan said.
"The telegram will be sent by me personally, but this time it can't be sent to the military headquarters, so send it directly to the young master! I believe he will agree with our decision!"
Hearing this, Wang Cunshan nodded, the less people know about this matter, the better.
――――――――――――――――――
On the 5th of March, the golden sun rose from the east of Cairo, and Egyptians of all stripes, dressed in robes and turbans, began their day's work, and although a group of patrolling soldiers with rifles passed by from time to time in the streets, there was not much fear on their faces. Because, they have experienced too many scenes in the past few years, especially in the last half a month, Muhammad Arabi's army, the British and the last national salvation **, you sing and I appear, and Cairo, the capital of Egypt, has become the focus of their contention.
Although they didn't expect that in the end, it was the national salvation that they had almost never heard of, defeated the British, and took control of Egypt, but as a small people in Shengdou, they didn't care about these, but the decree of 'that equal land rights, a part of the ownerless land that Egyptians without land can share' announced two days ago made them even more impressed, and from the bottom of their hearts, they also felt that this 'national salvation**' was really good.
At this moment, soldiers wearing khaki military uniforms and holding a gong appeared in the streets and alleys of Cairo.......
"Listen, everyone, we are the national salvation, three days ago, under the guidance of Allah, we defeated the cruel British who invaded our country and wanted to enslave Egypt, and now we are holding a public trial meeting on the banks of the Nile outside Cairo, welcome everyone to watch." Listen, everyone, .........!" shouted over and over again in Cairo Province, and suddenly the whole of Cairo became agitated.
People are all curious, especially the people who are now on trial, or the foreigner who was high up before, which aroused the curiosity in the hearts of the Egyptians at the bottom, and then added the guidance of some people arranged by Huo Zhiguang. Immediately, a large number of people began to pour out of Cairo and towards the Nile.
Cairo is the capital of Egypt, and its geographical location is so important that almost all European countries have set up embassies here, and although the continuous war has caused most of the embassy to lose most of its upper echelons, many remain. In addition to the people who came to Egypt for archaeology or tomb robbery, as well as for business, there are still many Europeans in Cairo at this moment. (To be continued.) )
