Holy Roman Empire

In the Vienna Palace, Franz is playing with his grandchildren who are several months old.

Recently, the three countries of England, France, and Russia have been very busy, and everything is running normally at home. Franz, who is idle, can only toss the little guy.

A cry of "wow" sounded, causing Franz to be in a hurry.

At this time, a maid came running hurriedly and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, just outside the palace news came, Prime Minister Felix fainted as soon as he went out. He is currently in rescue."

Hearing the bad news, Franz no longer cares about the crying grandson and passes the little Charlie directly to the maid.

Instructed: "Prepare the car immediately, I'm going out of the palace!"

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.

From the time of the Great Revolution, Felix was the Prime Minister of Austria. The two have worked closely for more than thirty years to pull the Habsburg dynasty that fell into hell from the edge of death.

In terms of merit, Felix can be said to be the first hero of the Habsburg renaissance.

Felix Schwarzenberg, born in 1800, is now 85 years old. In terms of life expectancy in this era, this has more than doubled.

Thinking of this, Franz's heart sank.

Years are not forgiving, even if he is already an emperor, he can only watch the people around him leave without help.

Not to mention the 85-year-old age, even in the 21st century, once this age falls ill, it is difficult to recover.

...

As Prime Minister of Austria, Felix naturally has private doctors at any time to serve, and even various medical devices are also at home.

Mainly this year, there are not many medical devices.If like the 21st century, there are a lot of various instruments, it can't be prepared.

Everything is readily available, and treatment is naturally performed directly at home.When Franz arrived, almost all medical experts in Vienna came.

The nobles of Vienna also came to a large group, but the government colleagues did not come much.There is no way this is the rule. It is now working time. Even if there is no prime minister, the government still has to operate normally.

Everyone was not surprised to see Franz coming in person.Almost every serious minister was in critical condition and he had to visit him in person.

Facing the unconscious Prime Minister Felix, Franz swallowed back a thousand words and waited quietly outside the ward.

Socializing doesn't exist. Franz is in a state of anxiety. Where can I get so much attention?

Seeing the emperor's sullen expression, everyone knows that this time, they are definitely looking for scolding.

Time passed by one minute and one second, the weather had gradually dimmed, the chief of the security guard reminded: "Your Majesty, it's not too early, it's time to return to the palace."

Franz nodded, looked at a large group of nobles and officials outside, waved his hands and commanded, "Everyone is gone!"

At this moment, Franz only reacted, because he was left by the emperor, and others could only wait.

Returning to the palace with a depressed mood, Franz knew that a new round of political shuffling was about to begin.

Given the current physical condition of Prime Minister Felix, even if he recovers, it is difficult to continue to be competent as prime minister.

It ’s not just that the prime minister is getting older. Many high-ranking politicians in the government are already over seventy years old.Unconsciously, the Vienna government also entered the age of old age.

Lying in bed, Franz couldn't help thinking how good it would be to live long if he had crossed into an era of reiki.

Over time, Franz opened a fantasy mode in his dream.

...

In Egypt, under the repeated urging of Napoleon IV, the rebellious army of Governor Adolf finally completed the assembly in Cairo.

A French infantry division + two Egyptian colonial divisions + a cavalry battalion is the entire composition of the rebel army.

Without artillery regiments, it was superfluous to suppress the colonial rebellion. The field artillery carried by the infantry division was sufficient.

Artillery is a high-tech arm this year. It is not possible to shoot out shells. Even if it is an artillery, the hit rate is the key.

Even if Britain and Austria were willing to provide artillery in the blood, the rebels could not find a gunner who could operate.

On a sunny day, Governor Adolf led a 36,000 rebellious army and set off from Cairo.

Faced with the raging French, the uprising army has fallen into a panic.The name of the world's first army power in France is too strong, and the fighting has begun to shake people within the rebels.

Mahdi held several mobilization conferences to boost morale, but still had little effect.

Lieutenant Colonel Hutier, representative of Austria, also participated in a meeting. After seeing the ugliness of the top of the rebel army, he decisively refused to participate.

The commander of the Eighth Division, the newly appointed Commander Hutier, said worriedly: "The rebel army is too complicated, and there are a lot of internal contradictions, neither training nor combat awareness.

Judging from the current situation, it is only a matter of time before the French collide head-on.

The perfect strategy the British helped them formulate completely ignored the execution of the rebel army.It has been so long, and it has not been determined where to intercept the river.

Now a group of people are still arguing. It is estimated that when the French come over, they may not be able to determine the place."

The water volume of the Nile River is not as large as it is all year round, and intercepting the impoundment of the channel in the dry season will impact the downstream, and the effect will not be achieved.

Unfortunately, it has just entered April. The Nile River is a dry season from January to May. The water level will start to rise in May at the earliest, and August will be the peak.

This means that the insurgents must support the French for at least 40 days under the offensive of the French, and the "perfect strategy" formulated by the British is only possible.

If you want to rely on floods to destroy the downstream delta, it is best to wait until August.

Every year in August, there will be floods in the lower reaches, and it is common to destroy farmland, even occasionally affecting Cairo City.

Fackingham: "The British plan simply won't work, and the French will not leave them enough time.

If Mahdi is smart enough, he immediately chooses the right place to blow up a small mountain and block the river.

Although it is the dry season, the damage to the downstream is limited, but it is stronger than not. No matter how bad it is, it can delay the French rebel army."

The upper stream itself occupies the geographical position, once the river is blocked, the French who are coming must detour.

If they continue to march along the Nile, if the rebels suddenly waterproof, they will feed the fish, and the French cannot take risks.

It's just that once the plan is advanced, the destruction of the delta becomes a dream.After all, the amount of water is insufficient and the destructive power is limited.

Hutier shook his head: "Don't count on it anymore, the Uprising has been fooled by the British.

Perhaps the lieutenant general Jarrett thought that the rebel army, like the British army, was able to do so."

The strong contempt was overwhelming. If it was not possible to determine the identity of Lieutenant General Geret, it would be impossible to betray Britain, he would have doubted whether it was a spy sent by the French.

It seems that the total strength of the rebels is nearly 100,000, almost three times that of the French, and has an absolute strength advantage.

However, the advantage of strength does not mean that you can win the battle.In the battle against the colonial rebellion, let alone one enemy three, even one enemy one hundred is nothing new.

Botiorek suggested: "Since the top of the uprising is stupid, then no matter how good they are.

Find an opportunity to separate from them.Then fight each other, let them hold the main force of the French army, we went deep into the hinterland of Egypt to destroy.

Can't win the main force of the French army, can we still bully the plantation owners?Burn the French cotton field and let the guy Adolf cry!"

Expectations are so low, despite the airdrop of a batch of equipment by airship, arming the eighth division, and simple training.For the decisive battle with the French, Portio Reque still had no expectations.

In his view, even if bullying the plantation owner, it must rely on military strength.With a similar number of people, the gang of Ugly people can't do anything with the plantation owners.

Fakingham frowned and asked, "It sounds good, but how do we evacuate after entering the hinterland of Egypt?"

This is a realistic problem. It is easy to penetrate behind the enemy, but it is easy to enter and difficult to come out.

Once they were discovered by the French, someone burned their cotton fields, they would not beat them to death.

Potiorec shook his head: "The French are not fools. When they react, they will soon send troops to encircle and suppress us. It is impossible to evacuate.

But our task is to destroy, why must we evacuate?

With the troops fighting indiscriminately, the forces were thrown away when the momentum was wrong. We disguised as a few and just ran away."

Although a bit spicy, the feasibility is indeed very high.There was no ID card this year, and a few strangers came out of the colony and could not identify themselves at all.

Even if they were caught by the French, they could pretend to be the Austrian expedition and strayed into the Egyptian region.

This world is never short of lust. Every year, there are more expeditions that get lost in the colonies of other countries.

It ’s okay to be caught. It ’s nothing more than to inform the Austrian colonial government leaders to ask for a ransom.

This is a common practice, and in the absence of conflicts of interest, the colonists will not kill at will.
