Chapter 790： The British "perfect strategy"

Lieutenant Colonel Hutil interrupted: "Okay, two people don't have to play anymore. You don't need to be active now, just think about countermeasures!"

Potiorec waved helplessly: "Okay, lieutenant colonel. But in the current situation, I don't think it is necessary to develop a strategy.

The main forces of the rebels are all such goods. It is conceivable that the miscellaneous army of them looks like, and it is not easy to take them to the battlefield.

Frankly, I am optimistic about this task at all. Now I fully agree with His Excellency the Governor, and first learn to save his life on the battlefield.

Right now, the most important thing for us is to take command of the army, and then train the gang of black people, at least to teach them to obey orders. "

The joke was a joke, and with a bunch of black people, he went to attack Cairo, and Portiorec was not so strong.

These days, the French Army is still very deterrent, and no one dares to despise them.

Regarding the current strength of the rebels, let alone capture Cairo, even if the war is burned to the Nile Delta, it is a miracle in military history.

The regular army has the regular army's play style, and the Wuhe people's play has the Wuhe people's play style. They are all fledgling guys, naturally they don't have that much attention.

Strategic tactics are totally redundant for the Uzbek army and cannot be achieved at all.

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

However, we are not completely without a chance. The main force of the French army cannot win, which does not mean that even the Egyptian colonial army cannot defeat.

At that time, the main force of the French army will let Mahdi drag them on. We are responsible for the destruction.

I heard that Egypt is the most important cotton producing area for the French, and destroying these plantations is probably enough to hurt them for a while.

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

It really isn't working. Find a chance to blow up the Nile and make it artificial ... "

...

Compared to the casualness of Austria, the British should pay more attention. In order to create an opportunity to intervene in the Suez Canal, the British government directly sent a military instructor group led by Lieutenant General Jerret.

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

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

The spirited general Lieutenant General Jerrett took the baton and put it on the map a little: "This is the core of the Nile Delta in Egypt, and also the focus of French business.

To drive the French away, they must destroy their foundation here. Without the support of the delta, the cost of sending troops to the French would at least double.

For France, at least part of their countless colonies in Egypt, the Paris government could not invest unlimited resources.

As long as it hurts them and makes 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 region directly from the French.

But we also have our own advantages-the Nile.

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

Pure flicker, but the insurgents like to listen. Compared with the separatist party proposed by the Austrians, the temptation to drive the French out of Egypt is too great.

In order to fool the rebel leader, Gerrett also worked hard to make up for the knowledge of Egypt.

This led to a perfect battle plan that increased the odds of the Mahdi rebels by at least tenfold.

But this has no effect. A hundred times of zero is zero, let alone ten times.

Unless there is a change in the European continent, such as the one who broke Paris in time and space, the French government would not be able to abandon the Suez Canal.

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

Even if the cost of war will increase, where can it increase? The Great Revolution two years ago just made the French government poor, which did not mean that the French people were also without money.

It is urgent, the French government is not incapable of genocide. As long as the force is strong enough, the hidden dangers of the colonies are not a problem at all.

Listening to Gerrit's beautiful blueprint, Mahdi was tempted, but his face was still invisible.

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

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

Jarrett gave Mahdi a severe glance, interrupting: "War always requires sacrifice. It can be a soldier or a civilian. As long as you can win, these sacrifice are valuable.

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

Seemingly indecisive inquiries, in fact, let Jarrett take the lead. 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 end of this rebel is already doomed from the beginning.

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

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

With that decision, Mahdi seemed to be a lot easier.

...

With the "perfect" combat plan, the high-ranking insurgents were even more disinterested in the Austrian army.

If it weren't for Hutil and others holding the weapons and equipment they wanted, plus they needed Austria's support, it would be too lazy to see them.

"General, the French are powerful ..."

Without waiting for Hutil to finish, Mahdi interrupted: "We have a perfect combat plan, Lieutenant Colonel, and we apologize for your inconvenience."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became embarrassed, and with good intentions, it turned into a donkey's liver and lungs.

If it wasn't for the task, he would have gone away. Even so, it is now on the verge of an explosion.

Even if you do n’t accept the suggestion, the following sentence, “The perfect battle plan ... It ’s difficult to disclose it for safety reasons,” wrote the word “doubt” on the face.

As soon as the words fell, Mahdi realized that he was making a mistake. Some things can be thought of but cannot be said.

He does not mean that.

A "perfect battle plan" is equivalent to saying that Hutier and others are incapable, and they have formulated a garbage plan.

"For safety reasons, it is inconvenient to disclose." Is it even more revealing a strong sense of distrust?

Mahdi remedied: "My lieutenant colonel, I have no doubt what you mean. It is just a matter of great importance, and we have to be careful, please forgive me."

With a sneer, Hutil sarcastically said, "Of course, I fully understand your approach.

This kind of thing, anyone will keep a foreigner confidential. After all, outsiders are unreliable, what if we run to tell the French? "

Seeing that the atmosphere was more tense, Mahdi realized the danger. He's not ignorant, he knows the power of the French.

This is the African continent. The British have a limited right to speak and are simply unable to fight the French. Without Austria's support, their desire for independence is a joke.

Explain patiently: "My Excellency has misunderstood, I have no doubt what you mean. If you want to know, you can refer to our next military meeting."

He really did not doubt that Austria would go to inform. In Mahdi's view, the reliability of the British and Austrian representatives on this issue is higher than the high-level inside the rebel army.

The fact that these people can drive here has already stated the positions of the two governments, and telling them is treason.

If the French can counter the British and Austrian delegations, it will not be a matter of African independence, but the three countries of Britain, France and Austria will be on the front line.

The great powers are also face-saving. The French cannot accept this idea of ​​interfering in their own internal affairs, and the British Olympics also cannot accept the practice of French spying in their own homes.

If this happened, Mahdi would wake up laughing. When the powers worked, the French ignored them.

In fact, Mahdi welcomed the representatives of Britain and Austria with great fanfare. In addition to military assistance, it was more for the sake of showing his staff.

There have always been problems with the internal organization structure of the insurgent army, and the various systems are incomplete. The key to maintaining the insurgents is mainly Mahdi's personal charm.

This is obviously not enough. Human loyalty cannot stand the test. Once something goes wrong on the battlefield, the rebels may fall apart at any time.

If you want to reorganize the rebels, it will not be possible in the short term, and the French will not allow them so much time.

It is necessary to introduce foreign forces. Both Britain and Austria have thick thighs. The support of these two countries 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 hearts of the insurgents have quickly stabilized.

Those guys who were erratic and ready to join the French, have now stopped their steps.

Being able to build an independent nation, no one wants to be enslaved.

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

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

After listening to this explanation, Huthir's expression was slightly relieved, but he still did not give Mahdi a good look.

"No need, General. I have no interest in your plans, only to join because we have a common enemy.

You have been to continental Europe and you should know that we and the French are in a feud. We are happy to do things that can bother the enemy. "

There wasn't any friendship, it was too unreliable.

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

Rather than friendship, hatred can bring the two sides closer together. Anyone who knows European history knows how the “Fau” feud came.

The two countries have been in pk for hundreds of years and are still in confrontation. Before the battle for continental hegemony was completely separated, both France and Austria gave each other an incentive to stab the knife.

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

Speaking of which, Mahdi has understood Hutil's intentions, but this is within his bottom line.

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

It is just the Colonel, we have encountered a little trouble and need your help.

You know that the insurgent army has just been established, and the internal organizational structure is too late to complete, especially the lack of sufficient outstanding officers.

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

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

The total number of nominally insurgents has exceeded 100,000, and eight infantry divisions have also been compiled with reference to European countries. In fact, Mahdi's first division was actually seen by blood.

The rest of the troops were composed of insurgents who successively rushed in behind, with intricate composition.

The Eighth Division is the newly formed unit. Its combat effectiveness is the lowest among all the insurgents, and its equipment is even worse.

There are more than 9,000 people in the whole division, which together add up to only 800 rifles. Now thrown to the Austrians, even the eight hundred rifles Mahdi is ready to retrieve.

No way, the rebels are too short of weapons. The British and Austrian support is not false, but unfortunately the British and Austrian weapons and equipment were not brought by the gale.

Until the results are seen, investment in both countries is very limited.

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

Austria's aid is similar to that of the British. The combined military assistance of the two countries is enough for two infantry divisions, and the rest must find their own solutions.

Until the battlefield proves itself, it will be difficult for the insurgents to obtain larger-scale assistance.

Mahdi threw the eighth division to Huthil and was actually forced to helplessly. How can a ten-man army without a gun enter the battlefield?

In Mahdi's view, the Austrian army wanted to be on the battlefield. It was just these restless young people who wanted to prove their ability on the battlefield and to obtain the capital for promotion.

Since these people want to score on the battlefield, they must first solve the eighth division's weaponry.

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

If the Austrian could train the eighth division, he would only be happier.

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

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

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

After a little thought, Hutil agreed decisively. Not just weapons and equipment, that's all a minor problem.

Everyone has a quota in hand, just one infantry division, it doesn't need much weapons at all.

It is not easy to have a chance to practice hands-on practice. It is nothing to pay for some retired weapons and equipment.
