"In history, there are only two people who were born as beggars and eventually became the king of a country, one is Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is Ali Pasha of my Great Egypt." The new vizier so boasted of Ali Pasha's exploits.

As a result of his successful mission to Russia and the signing of a secret agreement with Tsar Nicholas I, Abdul was named a vizier by Muhammad Ali.

The official position of prime minister in Egyptian history was also called the vizier, and Ali Pasha's ambition was already obvious, he wanted to be the sultan of Greater Egypt and establish an Arab empire, not a Turkic dog.

Franz still has some respect for this kind of hero who can achieve hegemony in one bowl at the beginning, but this era does not belong to Egypt.

Ali Pasha understood that the victory in the naval battle was only his ticket to the Ottoman partition, and the real decisive battle was still on land, and since the French refused to sell the Egyptians the recipe for thunder mercury, the Egyptians could only make flintlock pistols.

Ali Pasha was naturally not reconciled, and he ordered his craftsmen to develop firing pistols, but there was no one in Egypt who could make firing pistols.

In the end, Egyptian officials had to use 10,000 florins to obtain the recipe for the mercury and the blueprints of the firing pistol from Tuscany.

The recipe for mercury is actually very simple, but at this time Egyptian chemistry had not yet developed to the level of medieval alchemy, so it was not surprising that mercury could not be made.

Of course, Ali's ambition is not just to build a few guns, he also needs powerful artillery.

The Austrian M1832 super artillery, a program that was abolished by the Austrians, was blown into the sky by the Tuscany.

This super gun has the longest range, the largest caliber, and exaggerated power in the world, but what the Tuscans did not explain to the Egyptians is that Austria abolished this weapon program because of its incredible rate of explosion.

He even performed the miracle of Penta Kill, a gunner, a loader, an observer, a general who came to inspect, and a standard-bearer who was responsible for guiding the way.

In that test firing, due to the overloading of gunpowder, it caused the chamber to explode on the spot, and no one around the artillery was spared, and a piece of artillery fragments flew backwards like a meteor and hit a general who came to inspect.

The explosion caused the trajectory of the cannonball to change, and a huge cannonball flew over the head of the standard-bearer, although it did not touch the standard-bearer, but directly took away his soul, and when people found out that it was abnormal, he was already bleeding and dying.

The original design of the M1832 super gun was to make the largest and strongest artillery in the world, but the technology and quality of steel at that time could not support the ambitions of the Austrian military, resulting in no stability at all, and it was almost inevitable to explode when the cannon was fired, so the military had to reluctantly abolish this program.

100 pounds/50 times the diameter, this kind of data is almost catching up with the naval guns of the First World War, of course, the Austrians at this time could not build it, and even if they did, they could only be placed in the fortress or pressed on the warship.

Within the Austrian army, this artillery was referred to as the Messenger of Hell, but as soon as the name was translated to the Egyptians, the Egyptians were so excited that they were ready to name it the final weapon.

At the strong request of the Egyptian side, Tuscany began to ask Austria for the design drawings of the M1832 gun.

The Austrians, on the other hand, did not know what the Tuscans wanted to do, they only felt that it was a failed design, and did not want this humiliating design to be made public, so they rejected the Tuscan proposal.

However, this further aroused the Egyptians' desire to buy, and in the end Austria sold the design of the M1832 gun, because the Egyptians gave too much.

One hundred thousand florins sold a completely useless blueprint, and the Austrian military felt that it was a big profit.

The Egyptians bought what they had in mind as the ultimate weapon, and they felt that it was very profitable.

Tuscans, acting as intermediaries, get a 5% commission and also feel very profitable.

When Ali Pasha got the blueprint of M1832, he immediately asked the Egyptian craftsmen to copy it, but with the technology of the Egyptians, it was impossible to make such a large cannon mold, and Ali Pasha's order was absolute, killing one person and the whole family every day beyond the time limit.

As a last resort, Egyptian craftsmen came up with the oldest way, using clay molds.

It stands to reason that this kind of thing cannot be done at all, but God favored these craftsmen and really allowed them to build a cannon, but the problem came again, the cannon chamber made by the clay mold was uneven, which not only weakened the power of the artillery, but also made it easy to explode.

Therefore, they came up with a new method, the inner chamber was leveled with burnt iron, and the outer chamber was reinforced with iron hoops, and as for whether it could be fired or not, whether it would blow up or not, only Allah knew.

On the day of the test launch, Ali Pasha looked at the huge cannon in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a domineering spirit, and he decided not to hit the target he had set before, but instead pointed at a passing merchant ship.

You must know that the artillery of this era may not be able to hit a fixed target, and it is simply a fantasy to hit a moving merchant ship, not to mention whether this artillery can be fired or not is still a question.

But on the orders of Ali Pasha, the gunners could only turn their guns and aim at the moving merchant ships.

The craftsmen on the side were even more sweaty, they were more worried than the gunners, because the gunners were just worried about not hitting, and they were afraid that if the gun blew up, their lives would be gone.

However, good fortune favored them again, and the cannon was successfully fired, and the loud explosion shook the gunner's ears with blood.

The cannonball hit the merchant ship impartially, and something unexpected happened, the merchant ship was hit and actually sent out a huge explosion, which directly blew the entire ship to pieces.

Although the power of a flowering bomb loaded with more than 100 catties of gunpowder is huge, it will definitely not blow a merchant ship directly into pieces.

In fact, this merchant ship was loaded with flour, and when the huge flowering bomb exploded in the cabin, the dozens of tons of flour exploded like a bomb, instantly amplifying the power of the flowering bomb dozens or hundreds of times.

The gunners and craftsmen were dumbfounded, they really didn't believe that there was a cannon that could hit this power, but the fact that it was happening right in front of them made them have to believe it.

At this time, Abdul was the first to react and knelt down to salute Ali.

"Thank Allah for the sword of our lord, and our lord will restore the glory of the Arab Empire."

"Thank Allah for the sword of God that will restore the glory of the Arab Empire."

All the soldiers and craftsmen around them knelt, and they all believed that it was a miracle, a sign that Ali would become the master of this world, and they would be the sword and shield in the hands of the master.

However, Ali Pasha did not look at the prostrate crowd, but only looked at the brilliant fireworks, and a grim smile appeared on his face, and he named the cannon "Hades" on the spot.

A raging fire burned in his eyes, and this fire would burn to the Mediterranean, and it would burn to Istanbul, it would burn to Albania, it would burn to London
