Ashby is a desert town located 100 kilometers southwest of Egypt. The www.biquge.info is sparsely populated, backward and closed because it is far from the main trade routes and the agricultural economic belt formed by the Nile River in Egypt. However, it is precisely because of this concealment that the Egyptian Special Forces Headquarters of the Huo Family Army is located here.

Although it is now winter in the northern hemisphere, the average temperature in the small town of Ashby, south of the Tropic of Capricorn, is above 15 degrees, which is not cold. Huo Zhiguang was wearing a yellow and green camouflage combat uniform, holding a pencil in his hand, and kept sketching on the long table in the room, an accurate military map of hundreds of kilometers around Cairo, Egypt, under the dim light, his expression was focused and serious.

At this moment, a young man of about 30 years old, with a tall figure and a thin face, walked in from the dark night outside.

"Zhiguang, I just received a telegram from the south from the Cheetah Special Forces, they have already connected with the submarine force, and what we have looted from Cairo City, Cairo Museum and Tutankhamun's mausoleum is being shipped out. In addition, new weapons, ammunition, and other materials have also arrived!" Wang Cunshan, political commissar of the Longya Special Brigade, said, handing over the telegram in his hand.

Putting down the pencil in his hand, Huo Zhiguang took the telegram and quickly skimmed it, then put it next to him, "Lao Wang, gold, silver, jewelry, jade and small pieces of art can be transported out by submarine, what about the rest?"

Hearing this, Wang Cunshan's face couldn't help but show a trace of distress, Egypt is an ancient civilization that is more beautiful than the United States and Chinese civilization. There are countless cultural relics accumulated over thousands of years, and the Huo family army has been looting here for three years by taking advantage of the war. And in order to fight for victory in the war. Muhammad al-Arabi used cultural relics as military expenses in exchange for a large amount of weapons and equipment from Huo's army. Therefore, in the past few years, Huo Jiajun has obtained more than 50,000 works of art from Egypt.

In the past three years, in addition to precious metals such as gold and silver, and small works of art that have been transported back to the South Seas by submarine, the remaining statues, large gold objects, and representative mummies have remained in Egypt. And. The largest object found in Tutankhamun's mausoleum this time is a huge gold-clad wooden coffin with a length of 5 meters, a width of 3.3 meters, and a height of 2.75 meters, inlaid with blue porcelain. And there are two smaller coffins than this. In addition, the huge golden carriage, two meters long and 1.2 meters wide, is neatly cut from the burial chamber with exquisite frescoes. Two two-meter-long golden figures holding Jin Ge guarding the pharaoh's mausoleum. None of them can be transported out by submarine.

Over the course of three years, thousands of pieces of these priceless works of art have been accumulated, and their value is incalculable, and of course, it is necessary to occupy a lot of reliable people to ensure the safety of these works of art. This made the already small number of dragon teeth and cheetah special forces feel a little stretched in terms of military strength.

Seeing the expression on his old partner's face, Huo Zhiguang also understood what he was thinking. Now, Muhammad al-Arabi's Egyptian army has been wiped out by the British occupation of Cairo three days earlier, and even he himself has died in the Egyptian royal palace. Therefore, the next Huojiajun Egyptian strategy will turn into a new stage.

Dragon's Tooth and Cheetah, who have been hiding behind the Motherland Party, will come to the forefront. Continue the fight with the British. So, at this time. Each warrior of the Dragon's Tooth and Cheetah is an invaluable battle.

"Do you have any new instructions from the military department?" Huo Zhiguang asked.

"Yes, the military department hopes that we can send a force to cooperate with the military intelligence bureau to transport these cultural relics to Sudan, and then cooperate with the special SEAL forces to take Port Sudan, and then there will be the Navy's newest Taishan-class military transport ship to transfer these cultural relics back to the South Seas. Wang Cunshan said with a serious expression.

Hearing this, Huo Zhiguang nodded silently, Port Sudan is one of the only ports on the west coast of the Red Sea that can accommodate large and medium-sized ships except Djibouti, which is controlled by the French, and it is also the most convenient, fast, and easiest way to send these large Egyptian works of art out of the country.

"How much time did the military headquarters give us?" Huo Zhiguang asked.

"One month! A month later, our two Tarzan-class military transport ships stationed on Reunion Island will quietly go north!"

"Whew!" After breathing a sigh of relief, Huo Zhiguang's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of relief, a month is enough time to transport these cultural relics to Port Sudan!

"But before that, we have to eliminate the British, who are in the way!" Huo Zhiguang thought secretly in his heart.

"Lao Wang, how is the movement of the British now?"

Hearing this, Wang Cunshan quickly replied: "Cairo is still the same, although Beecham Seymour defeated Arabi's army and occupied Egypt, but he himself also suffered heavy losses, and the remaining British army still has 320,000, so now in addition to welcoming the victory in Cairo, he is resting his army, and there is no sign of going south." However, the Sultan's army under Garnet Wolseley in the south and Tawfig Pasha is not willing to be lonely, and is storming Akhmim along the Nile, and it seems that he wants to join the British army in Cairo victoriously!"

"Huishi, how could it be? If it weren't for the overall strategic situation of Egypt, they would have been let return to the underworld a long time ago!" Huo Zhiguang smiled coldly, his face revealing a strong murderous aura.

"Hehe, it's not too late!"

"Well, that's what I said!" After a pause, Huo Zhiguang continued to ask: "Are all the troops involved in the operation ready?"

"All preparations have been made, except for the Fourth Division, which was commanded by the 1st Cheetah Brigade in the south to conduct guerrilla warfare to contain the British, the remaining four divisions of 80,000 men have all arrived at the designated position. Speaking of military tasks, the look on Wang Cunshan's face also became serious.

During the three years of dormancy in Egypt, in addition to helping Arabi's Motherland Party army resist the British army, Huo Jiajun also secretly pulled up a powerful army of five divisions and 100,000 people. Of course, although there are a lot of people, their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of Huo Jiajun's own regular army.

Moreover, in order to keep it secret, there are also a variety of equipment, not only the Huo Jiajun standard 80 rifles, but also the German Mauser, the Russian water Lianzhu, the British Enfield, of course, in order to strengthen the firepower of this army, the Huo family army also removed some heavy machine guns and nearly scrapped mortars from within the troops, plus the army artillery captured from the British, as well as the strict training of dragon teeth and cheetahs, this 100,000-strong army still has some combat power, although it is not as good as the regular army of the British, but it is much stronger than the Egyptian army of Arabi。

Of course, thanks to Africa's outstanding human resource advantages, when forming this army, the Huo Jiajun only paid some food and weapons and equipment, and the cost was not large. After all, in Egypt, which has a population of more than 10 million, natural disasters**, coupled with three years of war, there are too many hungry people, and a full meal can make these hungry people do anything.

"In the early hours of tomorrow night, the operation will start on time, and all the British ** teams must be left here!" Huo Zhiguang said in a firm tone.

――――――――――

Shrouded in darkness of the night, Cairo, a world-famous ancient city with a history of nearly 5,000 years and the capital of Egypt, can see the Nile River flowing in the distance and the tall figure of the Pyramid of Khufu through the starlight in the sky, and of course, the ruins caused by the great Anglo-Egyptian Cairo battle four days ago.

Seymour, sitting on the balcony, was not in the mood to admire the beautiful night around him, as the commander-in-chief of the British army in Egypt, although the war had ended with the head of Muhammad Arabi hanging in the door of the hall of the Congress in Cairo. But there was no excitement and joy in his heart that he was now showing from top to bottom in England. Many unsolvable mysteries still hovered in his mind, making him a little sleepless.

Especially in the second year of the Anglo-Egyptian war, he noticed a trace of abnormality, and he always felt that there was another force hidden behind the Arabi Motherland Party. Otherwise, Egypt, without military factories, would not have had those hundreds of artillery pieces and a large number of light and heavy machine guns. Moreover, after the destruction of Cairo, a large number of works of art in Cairo museums, various ancient books and precious historical materials accumulated in Al-Azhar University for more than 1,000 years, and a large amount of wealth in hundreds of mosques disappeared, which is really strange.

If it is possible that the Egyptians secretly hid their precious works of art and antiquities from falling into the hands of the British, then what about the empty mosque in the back? You must know that Islam in Egypt has a higher status than Christianity in the eyes of Europeans, and Muhammad al-Arabi is also a devout Islamist, so he will never allow his army to do anything destructive against the sacred mosque.

The most important thing now is to stabilize the situation in Cairo first, and then, after the troops have rested, quickly move south to wipe out the remnants of the Egyptian army and bring Egypt into the colonial system of the British Empire. When the time comes, there will be time to dig out these rats who are against the British Empire. Holding on to the railing, Seymour thought to himself.

After raising his left hand and looking at the time on his watch, Seymour couldn't help frowning, although he didn't like the Chinese characters on it very much, but he also had to admit that this new watch, made by the Nanyang Chinese and already sold all over the world, was much more convenient to use than the old pocket watch.

"It's twelve o'clock in the morning, and I think I'm supposed to rest, too! With that in mind, Seymour tightened his pajamas, turned and walked off the balcony towards the bedroom.

However, at this very moment, there was a striking change in the city of Cairo...... (To be continued.) )
