"As for Long Yan, although they have this strength, if the current Long Yan army launches an attack on us, they will definitely use all their strength."
"Then they have no way of protecting the British army."
"Cairo is now in the hands of Long Yan. Although it is flying the British flag, it belongs to Long Yan on the surface. If a war really starts, Cairo and the Suez Canal will be short of troops."
"At that time, Britain could not be tempted. They had been coveting the Suez Canal for a long time."
After hearing his counselor's analysis, Sashar nodded, feeling that what he said made sense.
After pondering for a moment, he looked at the counselor who was confident that the Long Yan Army would not attack, and asked a question.
"But what if Long Yan and Britain unite?"
"Because of Prussia, Britain and Long Yan were forced to become allies."
"Although there is deep hatred between the two countries, it is not impossible for both sides to unite in Egypt for the common interests."
Upon hearing this, the counselor fell into deep thought.
This was something he didn't expect. He determined from the bottom of his heart that Long Yan and Britain would not attack, and did not consider the possibility of them forming an alliance.
After all, not long ago, Long Yan backhanded Dick.
And Dick was so stupid that he had nothing to say.
"What the general said does not make sense, but according to our intelligence, the two sides have not made any moves to form an alliance."
"Well." Sachar thought for a moment and then said immediately: "This is France's last window to Africa. We must not make any mistakes."
"Strengthen the latest defense to prevent sneak attacks by Longyan or the Britons."
"yes!"
After Sachar gave the order, he looked at the entire African map and realized that France had too many colonies in Africa.
And it's extremely huge.
However, if you want to support the rich resources in these colonies back to the mainland, you can only use water transportation.
There are many ports in Africa, but none of them are as important as the port in Egypt.
Because this port has direct access to the Mediterranean, supplies can be transported to mainland France in the shortest time.
It’s not like Sashar has never thought about taking back the port city occupied by Long Yan.
It's just that the risk is relatively high. At that time, Sachar's attack on Cairo caused most of his troops to be lost in that battle.
The British also lost too many troops.
Otherwise, Long Yanren would not be allowed to sneak attack twice and be successful both times.
Sashar sighed, now they had lost the possibility of occupation. Although their army had received assistance, it seemed to be huge in number.
But Sashar is very clear about the strength level of these aid troops. Most of them are local Egyptian troops. These troops do not have much actual combat experience, and their armaments are still in the last century because of the constant depletion of the Egyptian royal family and nobles.
There are no new muskets.
The degree of corruption in the army has reached the point where Sashar's scalp feels numb.
To put it simply, if we expect these local Egyptian troops to fight, it is better to pray to the Lord for miracles and divine punishment to punish all the enemies of France.
Sashar is very worried about the current situation. The strongest troops now are the Longyan people.
France looks very strong now, but in fact it is already strong on the outside and weak on the inside. If Long Yan and the British join forces to attack.
It is very likely that this port city will not be able to hold on.
Thinking of this, Sashar sighed. Both Longyan and Britain were changed by the industrial revolution.
It is said that the king of their country is no longer the one who holds the power. Policies are discussed by the ministers, the results are determined by voting, and finally implemented.
