Holy Roman Empire

After defeating the French, the top of the rebel army did not have a hint of joy. Except for the group of British generals headed by General Jarrett, the rest of the people were glaring at Mahdi.

A bearded military officer took out his gun and put it on the table, asking: "Mahdi, what's going on? Why didn't you blow up the dam without notifying us, do you know because ..."

Before he finished talking, Mahdi hurriedly explained: "Thunders, it's not that I don't want to inform you, it's mainly because of the lack of time.

On the front line, our main force failed in the decisive battle. The insurgents wanted to defeat the French. The only way was to blow up the Aswan Dam.

Facts have proved that our decision is not wrong.The French army was hit hard and is now fleeing rashly."

Thunder sneered and sneered: "I don't think it's too late, but you haven't even prepared to notify.

Anyway, it ’s all our people who lose. The sixth and first divisions of your heirs are intact and naturally do not hurt."

It can be seen from the expressions of everyone, maybe this is the real reason for everyone's anger.

The battlefield has already failed, and the bombing of the dam defeated the victory. From a military perspective, there is no problem.To do so for the sake of the overall situation, barely makes sense.

But the problem is that all the losses are their own troops, and Mahdi ’s heir to the armed forces have all escaped, which makes everyone ’s hearts unbalanced.

Seeing good words and persuasion had no effect, Mahdi was also angry, and immediately tit-for-tat: "What is the situation with the first and sixth divisions, don't you know?

Say I save my strength, don't forget the previous blocking battle, it's all my people who fight first.If it were not for heavy losses, it would not be withdrawn."

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Lieutenant General Jarrett said, "Everyone, no one is willing to do this kind of thing.

War requires sacrifice. The front line is defeated, and soldiers participating in the war cannot escape the French chase.Being able to take the French to be buried together, they also died well.

Rather than blaming each other here, it is better to find a way to restore strength.The army suffered heavy losses, and then recruited again.

The French were seriously injured, and in a short period of time, the Egyptian region was unable to organize the second military siege. Then you can move freely.

In view of the heavy losses, Britain is willing to provide another 30,000 rifles and some ammunition to help everyone overthrow the French rule."

The feng shui took turns. The French aided the Americans, and the British lost North America, which is now the king's base. Now it is the British's turn.

It's just that compared to Louis XVI's generous generosity, and even the fact that he came down in person, the British are really too filthy.

There are only 30,000 rifles, not even artillery or machine guns. Most of them are used by the British army because of John Bull ’s demeanor.

30,000 retired rifles in Britain can never be sold for less than 30,000 pounds, and even 10,000 pounds cannot be found in Continental Europe.

But for the rebels, this is already an astronomical figure, far exceeding the sum of the assistance provided by Britain and Austria.

Hearing the news of the assistance of 30,000 rifles, everyone's expression suddenly eased.The rebel army is mixed with fish and dragons, and there may be people who love soldiers like children, but there will definitely not be many.

For most senior leaders, the military is only a tool for them to gain power and wealth, and it is a consumable item.

Anyway, there are as many troops as there are guns, and soldiers are lost, and then recruit people to add.

The British aided a group of weapons, and it is estimated that the Austrians will also assist a group. Together with the legacy on the battlefield, restoring strength is not a problem at all.

Thunder hurriedly fought for it: "Looking at the face of your lieutenant general, this time it's ok. But the second division suffered heavy losses, and I need 10,000 rifles to add.

Mahdi vetoed: "No! Everyone's losses are very heavy, the second division is still good, at least one regiment is reserved, and you can add up to 5,500 rifles."

Suppression is a must. Thunders itself is the second strongest faction in the uprising after Mahdi, and there have been more than one conflict between the two for power.

Finally, the opportunity on the battlefield was used to hit the second division. How could Mahdi let him easily recover his vitality?

Thunder slammed the table and scolded: "Mahdi, don't go too far.

If you want to do this, then everyone breaks up as soon as possible. No one wants to be mad at you here."

...

There was a conflict within the rebel army, which was admired by Lieutenant General Jarrett.If the insurgents are all rigid, how can he reflect the importance of his British dispatch officer?

For example, this time, everyone knew that the order to blow up the dam was actually issued by Lieutenant General Jerette, but everyone was confused, and Mahdi had to take the black pot.

This is the result of Hutier and others leaving, otherwise it will be more lively.Most of the losers of the power struggle will use Austrian support to jump out and fight against the British-supported Mahdi Chamber.

Seeing that everyone was arguing, the headquarters were all messed up, and they were about to fight. Admiral Jarrett picked up the baton and banged at the table.

Directly reprimanded: "Sit me down and see what you look like now?"

"Do n’t forget, your current identity is the leader of a country, not a gangster on the street.

For a little thing, just keep arguing so much, and you wo n’t be afraid of jokes!"

Seeing the crowd return to their place, Lieutenant General Jarrett nodded in satisfaction.

He knew that this was not his own virtue. Everyone was willing to give face, that is, weapons and equipment were all held in his hands, and everyone present could not afford to offend him.

After a slight pause, the tone softened: "The main force of the French army is defeated. Now is the time to expand the victories. When such a noisy battle continues, it will delay the fighter.

Everyone is a soldier, so we use military rules to decide.Whoever makes the big contribution in the war will get a big share.

Now I'm in charge of you, chasing the French army defeat, whoever gets more heads, captures more captives, who will take a large portion.

Do n’t waste resources if you eat mixed food.Do n’t say I ’m doing it unfairly. Although the frontline troops have suffered a lot, you are the closest to the French.

Even if you have no ability to continue the pursuit, the French army that sent you to the door will not be a minority."

There is no doubt that this distribution plan is the most beneficial to Mahdi.Don't look at Jarrett's easy words. Actually, after being hit by the flood, the frontline rebels are no better than the French.

Catch the French army defeat?

In fact, now they are a group of soldiers.The only advantage is that they barely win, and they can gather on the spot when the water recedes.

There is no morale in the army, and these troops cannot fight in a short time.As Lieutenant General Jerette said, they can capture the collapsed French soldiers, but they can only capture them.

...

Outside Ugsur, Hutil is holding a telescope to watch the army siege.If the siege equipment does not exist, the rebel army will neither build it nor need these things.

For the development of the city, Ugsur was already demolished by the French.As an inland heart city, the French never thought of threats from foreign enemies.

The bunkers and fortresses do not even exist, and enter the street fighting mode at the beginning of the battle.

Bullying the rebel army without artillery, the French directly rely on buildings to prevent the rebel army from entering the city.

As he watched the troops rushing up and down, the soldiers who were blown up to flesh and blood, Hutier frowned.

In the end, it is somewhat emotional to bring the soldiers by oneself.If possible, he still hopes that these soldiers will survive.

On one side, Fa Jinhan is much calmer. It seems that he is not affected by the atmosphere of the battlefield. He commented with interest: "The firepower of the defenders is very chaotic, and it does not look like a regular army.

Basically, the main force of the French army is not in the city. If we do not pay the price, our success rate in overcoming Ugsul is very high."

Hutier shook his head: "Vienna is not yet ready to turn his face with the French. Even if Ogsur is occupied, we cannot eat it.

They ca n’t keep it for the rebels.It's okay to pretend to be a little bit scared of the French in the city.

Rather than consuming precious troops here, it is better to take a trek around Egypt with troops, which can cause great trouble for the French."

At this moment, the happy-looking Stewarthausen came from the rear and said with a smile: "Lieutenant Colonel, order to stop the offense, then we can do a big fight."

Hutier boldly speculated: "Oh, could it be that the main force of the French army was overwhelmed by the flood, and now the territory of Egypt is empty, waiting for us to harvest the fruits of victory?"

Stewarthausen nodded and shook his head again: "Although the whole army is not wiped out, it is almost the same.

According to the intelligence collected by the scouts, the top of the rebel army used the main force as a decoy. During the decisive battle, the Aswan dam was suddenly blown up, and the flood directly hit the fighting troops.

Both sides suffered heavy losses, and now Adolf ’s army of rebellion has turned into a dog of bereavement and is fleeing rashly.

Maybe it won't be long before we meet them.Give them a second look, it is estimated that the French rebel army can cancel the establishment."

The defeated French army was far more cost-effective than attacking Ugsul.If you are lucky enough to leave Adolf's rebel army here, it is not impossible to have a military parade in Cairo.

Fackingham retorted: "Major, you are too optimistic. If the French ran back and forth, we could indeed keep them.

But whenever Adolf had a bit of a brain, he would reorganize the troops halfway, and then continue to retreat.

No more, as long as a group of troops is assembled, the eighth division can be defeated.

Even for the French army, whose morale has been greatly reduced, then doubling the strength of the two regiments is enough.

If Adolf is brave enough, there is no need to retreat.The frontline troops suffered heavy losses, leaving the Uprising Army headquarters with two and a half disabled infantry divisions, and as long as there were 5,000 French troops, they could fight against each other."

There is no doubt that the final inference is based on ideal conditions.Even if Adolf had the courage to break the wreck, the French soldiers were willing to fight against the water.

The French army's powerful combat effectiveness is based on the morale of the army. Without the desire to fight, the French army can exert its combat effectiveness, which may not be much stronger than the rebel army.

Sternhausen smiled slightly: "You are too overestimating the French. Most of the people participating in this battle are colonial troops, not the elite of the French army.

After encountering the flood, the defeated soldiers escaped the battle, the fighting will is at the lowest point, and the fighting power that can be exerted is very limited.

Of course, these are not the key to the problem.The core factor that really allowed us to win was that the French army lost almost all its logistics and heavy firepower.

The small cities and colonial strongholds along the way can only provide them with some food supplies at most, and the lost weapons and equipment cannot be replenished.

The French army was hit by the flood during the battle, which means that the bullets consumed by the French soldiers in the battle did not have time to replenish, and they escaped in haste.

As long as the last ammunition in the hands of the French is used up, we will win this war."

After hesitating for a while, Hutier made a decision: "Submitting the order, the troops immediately stopped the siege.

Inform the cadres above the regiment level to hold an emergency military meeting in the afternoon."
