May 20, 1839.

The fighting on the coast of Syria ended before it even began.

As soon as the war began, the Egyptian navy and the renegade Ottoman navy joined forces. Under the bombardment of hundreds of cannons, the new Ottoman army had to flee in disarray.

June 4, 1839.

The new Ottoman army fled into the small city of Nizip to prepare for a final fight with the Egyptian army, and the Fourth Battle of Nizip broke out.

As soon as the battle began, the Egyptian army, armed with French weapons, gained the upper hand.

Although the Egyptian army was only 70,000, it won successive battles under the leadership of Ibrahim, and the training of French instructors also brought the Egyptian army closer to the modern army, and the morale and discipline were not comparable to the Ottoman army.

On the other hand, although the Ottoman army still had 100,000 troops left and occupied favorable terrain, they were still only a classical army without completing their training.

The Egyptians had only forty cannons, but they were able to bombard a hundred thousand troops, and the number of Ottoman troops who died from artillery fire was not as great as the number of people who died from trampling.

Ibrahim saw the incompetence of the Ottoman army and his experience in France, which convinced him that attack was the true meaning of war.

With Ibrahim's order, the first to charge was the Sultan's slave legion, the Anubis Legion.

Sudan was an African country near Egypt, which Ali had conquered with troops.

Some sultans worshipped the conqueror, believing him to be the embodiment of Anubis, the god of death, who volunteered to join his army and was called the Army of Death or the Anubis Army by the Egyptians.

The Anubis regiments with shield-mounted scimitars were followed by the new Egyptian army, armed with the latest firing rifles, bayonets ready, and victorious in battle, not afraid of the Ottoman fire.

On the other hand, on the opponent's side, Ahmet and his firing squad, even though they created corpses all over the ground, could not stop the rout of their new army and save their own morale that had sunk to the bottom.

Ahmet's family was still in Istanbul, there was no way he could surrender, and the belief in the Celestial Sect made it impossible for him to commit suicide, so he fired the last bullet in his gun, then pulled out the scimitar studded with jewels and diamonds, and rushed towards the Egyptian army that was approaching the slaughter.

If the new Egyptian army saw Ahmed Pasha, they would definitely find a way to catch it alive, after all, it was a great achievement to be able to capture such a high-ranking general.

Thanks to this credit, they and their families were able to live a life of great people.

However, Ahmed Pasha charged at the Anubis Legion, and in an instant he was cut into shame.

In this battle, the Ottoman army was defeated, 4,000 people were killed, countless were wounded, 15,000 people were captured, of which less than 500 died in the shelling, Ahmad Pasha was killed, and Davoni Pasha was captured.

Manio Palace, Egypt.

Ali picked up the wine glass and poured it hard, slapped the battle report on the table, and shouted, "Good!" ”

Ali couldn't believe that the new Ottoman army was so vulnerable that he could use this victory to get the Ottomans to pay reparations, and he would seize Anatolia and eventually divide the Ottomans with Russia on the Tigris River.

Now all he has to do is to stop the intervention of the great powers, and for this he must show sufficient strength.

Muhammad Ali had two options, one was to fight a blitzkrieg and sign a treaty with the Ottomans before the foreign powers intervened, or the other was to deal a severe blow to the British, who had always opposed him, to make the great powers fear him.

A British naval fleet of three 74 battleships and five frigates will pass through the Mediterranean Sea to demonstrate in Egyptian-controlled Beirut.

If they can be eliminated, the French will definitely stand more firmly on their side, and at the same time let the British know that they are not to be trifled with.

The Ottoman fleet mutinied, the new army was disbanded, and it could only be supported by a few ragtag armies and militias, but fortunately, Muhammad Ali had a bad reputation, and the civilians did not want to accept this brutal ruler and joined the ranks of the Egyptian army.

This allowed Ali to quickly seize Anatolia and force the Ottoman Sultan to sign an alliance with the city.

Now he has no choice but to take risks and choose the second path, and he also believes that it must be the instructions of Allah.

On the other hand, Metternich convened a conference of the great powers under the Treaty of Münchenggrad to safeguard the interests of the great powers in the Ottoman Empire.

Historically, Metternich not only lost his own political resources, but also exposed the weak nature of Austria, and since then the center of European diplomacy has shifted from Vienna to London.

But this time it was different, the Austrian army had completed its rearmament, and the navy had shown that it was fully capable of facing any contingency and dealing a devastating blow to the enemy who dared to attack.

Historically, Austria's fiscal revenue was only 140 million florins, while Austria's fiscal revenue exceeded 200 million florins.

Historically, Hungary, which could not jump, had just experienced a civil strife at this time, and was even weaker because it missed the two critical periods of the German Customs Union and the great development of the railway.

Almost at the same time that the Austrian army arrived in Novi Sad, Miloš Obrenović's bloody letter reached Vienna.

In Miloš's bloody letter, he first said that he had been deceived into believing the Russians' nonsense, and then how despicable and shameless the Russians and the Serbian traitors were, and how the Serbian people longed for the arrival of the Austrian Celestial Soldiers.

Finally, at the end of the inscription, he signed Miloš Obrenovic, the most faithful servant of the Habsburgs.

Although Miloš Obrenović's behavior was disgusting and crooked, he did provide an excuse for the Austrian Empire.

In Metternich's eyes, as long as Serbia was taken, Austria would no longer have any worries in the Balkans.

But in Franz's eyes, this would put Austria and Russia in a situation where they would never die. How could the Tsar, who claimed to be the guardian of the Orthodox Church, allow a Slavic state to be annexed by pagan Austria?

Belvedere, Vienna.

The first owner of the palace was none other than Prince Eugen, who turned the tide of Austria and the Ottoman Empire.

Palmerston did not have any favorable opinion of Metternich, but he felt that Austria would have its own interests to prevent French expansion, and by squeezing out the French, Britain would be able to economically colonize Egypt and make the entire Near East a dumping ground for British goods and raw materials.

Prussia, on the other hand, had the mentality of eating melons and watching a play, to see if it could make some trouble for Austria and France, and by the way, get some benefits.

France sent people to attend the peace conference on the one hand, and on the other hand, it sent people to urge Egypt to sign a peace agreement with the Ottoman Empire as soon as possible.

At this time, France was at war everywhere, and its national strength was already a little unbearable, and now there was another big war, and the tragedy of the French Revolution might be repeated.

Russia has always disliked the joint action of the great powers, because it would affect Russia's hegemony, but the recent Austrian movements in Novi Sad forced the Tsar to send people to test Austria's attitude.

At this time, the Tsar's greatest hope was that the Ottomans would sign an alliance with Egypt, and then take advantage of the Anglo-French war to have another Russo-Turkish war.

After all, the Russo-Turkish war is cool for the tsar to fight once and again, and it is always cool to fight.

The tsar was not very interested in trade hegemony, he wanted real land.

I may add a change after work early today
