Holy Roman Empire

Lieutenant Colonel Hutier interrupted: "Okay, don't play with the two. Now you don't need a lively atmosphere, let's think about the countermeasures!"

Potiorec waved his hands helplessly: "Okay, Lieutenant Colonel. But as far as the current situation is concerned, I don't feel the need to develop strategies and tactics.

The main force of the rebels is this kind of thing. It is conceivable what the mixed army is like. It is not easy to take them to the battlefield.

Frankly speaking, I am optimistic about this task at all.Now I fully agree with the Governor's statement, first learn to save life on the battlefield.

The most important thing for us right now is to win the command of the army, and then simply train these gangs of people, at least to teach them to obey the orders."

The joke is a joke, with a group of gangs going to attack Cairo, Boteolek is not that hard-working yet.

The French Army this year is still very deterrent, no one dares to despise them.

As far as the current strength of the rebels is concerned, not to mention the capture of Cairo, even if the war is burned into the Nile Delta, it is a miracle in military history.

The regular army has the regular army's play style, and the Wuhe crowd has the Wuhe crowd's style of play. They are all fledgling guys. Naturally, they are not so particular.

Strategic tactics are completely superfluous for the Uzbek army and cannot be realized at all.

Lieutenant Colonel Hutier nodded: "You can recognize this, it seems that my worry is superfluous.

However, we do not have no chance at all. If the main force of the French army does not win, it does not mean that even the Egyptian colonial army cannot beat it.

By then, the main force of the French army will let Mahdi drag them, we are responsible for the destruction.

It is said that Egypt is the most important cotton producing area for the French. It is probably enough to destroy these plantations for a while.

If you are lucky, you will be able to encourage the Egyptians to join the rebellion, and the effect will be much better.

It's really not possible. Find a chance to blow up the Nile and create a man-made ... "

...

Compared to the randomness of Austria, British people pay more attention.In order to create an opportunity to intervene in the Suez Canal, the British government directly sent a military instructor group headed by Lieutenant General Jerette.

On the one hand are the fledgling military school students and on the other are generals with rich combat experience. Normal people know how to choose.

Lieutenant General Jerette did not disappoint Mahdi, and came up with a perfect combat plan, at least it sounded perfect.

Lieutenant General Jarrett took a baton and made a point on the map: "This is the core of the Nile Delta in Egypt and the focus of the French business.

To get rid of the French, first destroy their foundation here.Without the support of the delta, the cost of sending troops by the French must at least double.

For France, Egypt is at least part of their countless colonies, and the Paris government cannot invest unlimited resources.

As long as they hurt them and make them realize that colonizing Egypt is a mistake, the French government will weigh the pros and cons.

With our strength, it is unrealistic to take the delta directly from the French.

But we also have our own advantage-the Nile.

Find a suitable place to build a dam to store water, then explode the dam, and the flood will drive us out of the French ... "

Pure flicker, but the Uprising seniors like to listen.Compared with the separatist party proposed by the Austrians, the temptation to expel the French from Egypt is too great.

In order to fool the head of the rebels, Jarrett also put a lot of effort into the knowledge of the Egyptian region.

Only then did a perfect battle plan be developed, which increased the odds of the Mahdi Uprising by at least ten times.

But this has no effect. One hundred times zero is zero, not to mention ten times.

Unless there is a change in the European continent, such as the original time and space that was attacked by Paris, otherwise the French government cannot give up the Suez Canal.

Half Sudan + Egypt, the total population is only a few million, and the military strength is definitely not comparable to the Ottomans who were destroyed by the anti-Turkish alliance.

Even if the cost of war increases, where can it be increased?The Great Revolution two years ago only made the French government poor, and it did not mean that the French people had no money.

Urgent, the French government is not unable to do anything about the genocide.As long as the force is strong enough, the hidden dangers of the colony are not a problem at all.

Listening to the beautiful blueprint portrayed by Jarrett, Mahdi was tempted, but his face remained unremarkable.

For a leader, personal image is also very important.Once this plan is implemented, the Egyptian people who originally supported him are likely to shake their positions.

Some anxiously asked: "General, wouldn't it be too ..."

Jarret glared at Mahdi fiercely and interrupted: "War always requires sacrifices, both military and civilian. These sacrifices are valuable as long as they can win."

There is no doubt that he sees Mahdi's true purpose.No one is willing to take responsibility for such a doomed order.

The seemingly indecisive question actually asked Jarrett to bear the blame.Just for the sake of the British Empire, Jarrett chose to endure.

There is no need to be angry with a dead person. Anyway, the ending of this rebel army has been doomed from the beginning.

After hesitating for a while, Mahdi said helplessly: "Well then! In order to get rid of the slavery of the French, we can only grievance the people in the lower reaches.

Abdullah, send people to count the losses of the people, and wait for the French to be driven away. We will compensate them in the future."

After making this decision, Mahdi seemed to relax a lot at once.

...

With a "perfect" combat plan, the top of the rebel army was even less concerned about the Austrian military regiment.

If it were not for Hutier and others holding the weapons and equipment they wanted, plus they needed Austrian support, it would be too lazy to meet.

"General, the French are powerful ..."

Waiting for Hutier to finish his speech, Mahdi interrupted: "Lieutenant Colonel, we already have the perfect combat plan. Please forgive me for the inconvenience of disclosure for security reasons."

The atmosphere inside was suddenly embarrassed, and he was kindly treated as a donkey liver and lungs, making Hutier blushing.

If it wasn't for scruples about the task, he would have gone away.Even so, it is now on the verge of breaking out.

Even if you do n’t accept the suggestion, the following "perfect combat plan ... is not easy to disclose for security reasons", and the word "doubt" was written on the face.

As soon as the words fell, Mahdi realized that he had lost his word.There are things you can think about, but you ca n’t say.

He does not mean that.

"Perfect combat plan" is equivalent to saying that Hutier and others are not capable, and formulated a combat plan garbage.

"For security reasons, it is inconvenient to disclose", but also reveals a strong sense of distrust?

Mahdi remedied: "My Excellency, Colonel, I have no doubt about your meaning. It's just a serious matter, we have to be cautious, please forgive me."

With a sneer, Hutil sneered: "Of course, I fully understand your approach.

This kind of thing will be kept secret by anyone outside.After all, outsiders are unreliable. What if they run to inform the French?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was more tense, Mahdi realized the danger.He is not an ignorant little white, very well aware of the power of the French.

This is the African continent. The British have limited voice and are simply unable to fight the French.Without the support of Austria, they want to be independent is a joke.

Patience explained: "Your misunderstanding, I have no doubt about your meaning. If you want to know, you can refer to our next military meeting."

He really had no doubt that Austria would go to inform.According to Mahdi, the reliability of the British and Austrian representatives on this issue is higher than that of the high-level inside the rebel army.

These people have been able to drive here, and have already stated the positions of the two governments. The whistleblowing is treason.

If the French can antagonize the British and Austrian delegations, then it is not the issue of African independence, but the three countries of Britain, France and Austria will be on the front line.

The great powers also have to be face-saving. The French cannot accept the idea of ​​intervening in their own internal affairs. The British Olympics also cannot accept the French's practice of arranging spies at home.

If this happened, Mahdi would wake up with a laugh.When the great powers worked, the French would have no time to bother them.

In fact, in addition to receiving military and military assistance, Mahdi ’s reception of representatives from Britain and Austria was mostly for the sake of showing his people.

The internal organizational structure of the rebel army has always had problems, and various systems are not perfect.Maintaining the bond of the rebel army is mainly Mahdi's personal charm.

This is obviously not enough, people's loyalty can not stand the test.Once something changed on the battlefield, the rebel army could collapse at any time.

If you want to reorganize the rebel army, you will not be able to do it in the short term, and the French will not leave them so much time.

It is very necessary to introduce foreign forces.Both Britain and Austria are thick-legged, and the support of these two will undoubtedly greatly increase the confidence of their people.

At present, the effect is very significant.Since the arrival of the British and Austrian delegations, the military heart within the uprising has quickly stabilized.

Those guys who had been swaying and were ready to go to the French now stopped now.

Being able to build a country independently, no one wants to be enslaved.

After all, the colonial rule of this year is really cruel. In front of the colonists, the big men in these places may also move their heads at any time.

No one wants to continue in the unpredictable days.Seeing hope, everyone is still willing to let go.

After listening to this explanation, Hutier's expression softened slightly, but Mahdi didn't look good.

"No need, general. I have no interest in your plan. I joined because we have a common enemy.

You have been to continental Europe and you should know that we and the French are feuds.We are all happy to do things that can cause trouble to the enemy."

Without talking about friendship, that stuff is too unreliable.

After the rise of the Habsburg dynasty, Sudan was the site of the Ottoman Empire, standing directly on the opposite side, and naturally there was no friendship.

Compared to friendship, hatred is closer to the two sides.Anyone who understands the history of Europe knows how the "Fao" feud came.

The two countries have been pk for hundreds of years and are still in confrontation.Before the battle for European hegemony was completely divided, both France and Austria gave each other a motive to stab each other,

The insurgents wanted to overthrow the French rule and also stood on the opposite side of France.With a common enemy, both sides have the conditions for closeness.

Speaking of this, Mahdi already understood Hutier's intentions, but this was within his bottom line.

Mahdi echoed: "Yes, to kill our common enemy.

Just your Excellency Lieutenant Colonel, now we have a little trouble and need your help.

You know that the uprising army has just been established, and the internal organizational structure is too late to perfect, especially the lack of enough excellent officers.

I know that your Excellency is a senior student of the Austrian Army University. I would like to ask you to help train the eighth division and temporarily act as the commander of the eighth division."

After a pause, Mahdi added: "The eighth division is a new force, and there is a lack of weapons and equipment, so ..."

The total number of nominally insurgent troops has exceeded 100,000, and it has been compiled into eight infantry divisions with reference to European countries. In fact, it is Mahdi ’s first division that actually saw blood.

The remaining troops are composed of insurgents who have successively rushed over to the back, with intricate components.

The Eighth Division is the newest formed force, and its combat effectiveness is at the bottom of all rebel forces, and its equipment is a mess.

There are more than 9,000 people in the whole division, and only 800 rifles together.Now thrown to the Austrians, even the only 800 rifle Mahdi is ready to take back.

No way, the rebel army is too short of weapons and equipment.The British and Austrian support for him is not false, but unfortunately the British and Austrian weapons and equipment are not caused by strong winds.

Before seeing the results, the investment of both countries was very limited.

The British provided 7,500 rifles, 300 pistols, five field artillery pieces + some ammunition, barely enough to equip an infantry division.

The assistance provided by Austria is similar to that of the British.The combined military assistance of the two countries will suffice for two infantry divisions, and the rest will have to find their own way.

Before proving themselves on the battlefield, it is difficult for the rebel army to obtain larger-scale assistance.

Mahdi threw the eighth division to Hutier for command. In fact, he was also forced to help. How can ten troops without a gun go to the battlefield?

In Mahdi's view, the Austrian military regiment wants to go to the battlefield, but these restless young men want to prove their abilities on the battlefield and take advantage of the capital for promotion.

Since these people want to score on the battlefield, they must first solve the eighth division weapons and equipment.

Even if these people are embroidered pillows, which are not useful on the battlefield, he can pick up some weapons and equipment in vain.

If the Austrian can train the eighth division, he will only be more happy.

The French counterattack is coming, and Mahdi will not give up any opportunity to increase his strength.

As for the troubles to be faced in the future, that is what happened after driving away the French.If it fails, there is no future.

"Happy to help! We can find a solution to the problem of equipment."

After a little thought, Hutier resolutely agreed.Is n’t it just weaponry? That ’s a small problem.

Everyone has a quota in their hands, just an infantry division, they do n’t need much weapons at all.

It is not easy to have the opportunity to practice hands-on training. It is nothing to pay for a part of retired weapons and equipment.
