When the Sino-European battlefield reached a deadlock, the Egyptian battlefield also reached a critical moment.

Since the Austrian army laid down its political baggage, the canal's natural danger has changed from a natural disaster to a thoroughfare, and it is no longer an obstacle to the advancement of the Austrian army.

After the short soldiers joined, the French army's problems gradually became exposed.

There is no way, France has limited manpower, and it is impossible to drop regular troops into the Egyptian region without restrictions. If the number of main forces is insufficient, the colonial army can only be used together.

Although they all look similar, the combat effectiveness is very different.

Just a few years after the Egyptian rebellion, the French rule is not so stable. Watching the dogs of France and Austria bite the dogs, the Egyptian people really have no interest in blending.

If it were not for the gun to be behind the neck, the Egyptians were absolutely unwilling to go to the battlefield as cannon fodder.

In the Governor's Mansion in Cairo, Governor Jacob stared solemnly at the map. From the small arrows with bright colors, we can see that the current strategic situation of the French army is very optimistic.

If it wasn’t for the French navy’s strength to defend Egypt’s coastline, it would really be surrounded by the enemy now.

Not surrounded, not far from being surrounded. Encountered by the enemy on three sides, the power of the Egyptian colonial government alone will certainly be unsustainable.

After half a fight, Governor Jacob turned around and asked, "When will the domestic reinforcements arrive?"

If you can’t win, you can only seek domestic help. Anyway, the entire African battlefield, France is a total defeat, and the Egyptian colonial government is not ashamed to follow the request.

"Your Excellency, the Army Department rejected our request for assistance and ordered us to use the fine tradition of the French army to overcome difficulties..."

Waiting for the middle-aged officer to finish speaking, Governor Jacob lifted the document from the desk in front of him and shouted: "Enough, don't need to continue."

"The **** bureaucrat must have broken his brain on the woman's belly, even forgetting the most basic military knowledge.

What three-year-old children know about what Egypt means to France. Once the Austrians had occupied Egypt, they washed their necks and waited for slaughter!

..."

Opening the map of Eurasia shows that Egypt not only has the most important golden canal in the world, but also the last obstacle hindering the connection between Austria and Africa and its homeland.

Once the Ethiopian region and Austria were in the hands, a Big Mac that surpassed any empire in history appeared.

By that time, France was in danger, and with its strong human and material resources, Austria could kill any enemy.

Such an obvious problem, people with a little military knowledge know that the Ministry of Army naturally cannot be unaware of it.

Knowing the problem does not mean solving the problem. The best way is to send troops to reinforce Egypt, but the reinforcement is not a trifling matter.

The enemy is Austria, not an indigenous tribe, and simply adding troops has no meaning. While increasing the troops, it is also necessary to guarantee the firepower of the troops, or else it will give away thousands of miles.

The stronger the firepower, the greater the consumption of materials. France has invested more than 2 million troops on the battlefield in Central Europe, and there are more than 1.5 million troops on the southern route. It also provides logistics for millions of African colonial forces, including Egypt.

Such logistical pressure is already a replica of the original World War I. Even if the size of France is far beyond the original time and space, more manpower and material resources can be mobilized, but the nurses in the Allied countries are not in place!

The only British ally did not sell kidney aid like the original space-time. People are still drinking coffee at home leisurely at home, watching a big show called Europa.

Of course, taking advantage of the fire to rob and make war money is also an essential operation. From the outbreak of war to the present, the tariffs between Britain and France have increased by 57%, and the export of strategic materials has doubled directly.

Not buying?

It doesn't matter!

Out of this door, all the shops behind my house.

Let me do it myself. Anyway, there are just a few industrial powerhouses this year, and everyone is doing monopoly trading.

From the beginning of the war to the present, the French government has endured a series of problems such as unqualified quality and delayed transactions, while buying materials at high prices.

If the war continues, the failure of France will not be a battlefield, but finance and logistics.

In order to break the Rhine defense line as soon as possible, the Paris government has just decided to increase the frontline of troops.

Seeing that Governor Jacob’s vent was almost over, the middle-aged military officer added: “His Excellency, the country has decided to shrink its colonies in Africa. It is ready to temporarily abandon Niger, Mali, Senegal, Mauritania and other regions.

After the shrinking colony, the troops in these areas will retreat into the Algeria area to hold on. The Army Department stated that if we need it, we can deploy 20 infantry divisions to come to the rescue. "

Governor Jacob is very aware of the situation in Africa. The so-called temporary abandonment is actually just a piece of shame.

Most of these areas are bordered by Austria and Austria. As soon as the war broke out, they were severely beaten by the Austrian army. The scene was that miserable.

Even if it does not shrink the line of defense, the fall is only a matter of time. The Paris government can't even take care of Egypt. Naturally, it is impossible to build a continuous line of defense for North Africa.

The colonial empire is collapsing, and for a colonist like Governor Jacob, the heart is completely collapsed.

Of course, for the Egyptian region, this is barely good news. Regardless of the combat effectiveness of these reinforcements, at least it proves that the country has not abandoned them.

Although this result does not satisfy Governor Jacob, in the absence of options, it is better to have reinforcements than without reinforcements.

"Tell the War Department that we are dealing with the regular Austrian army, but not a colonial cannon fodder.

If you want to block the enemy's soldiers, the reinforcements must be all French troops, and the indigenous troops should not send them over to waste food. "

After the war broke out, in order to protect the colonial empire, the French government also sent a reinforcement to the colony.

The backbone of the armed forces in the current colony is to use the troops sent from the country as seeds, plus an army of local French descent.

The combat effectiveness is N grades higher than that of the indigenous forces. Because of insufficient training and backward weaponry, it is one or two weaker than the local forces. It is still barely useable.

Waiting for the middle-aged officer to speak, he suddenly remembered the sound of "Woo Woo...", followed by the sound of "Boom, Boom..."

This is Cairo, there are hundreds of kilometers away from the front line, and it is impossible for the shells to hit so far.

Suddenly there was an explosion in his ear, and Governor Jacob immediately realized that it was wrong and hurriedly ordered: "Submit the order and let the airship force immediately lift off to intercept the enemy airship. The air defense force is responsible for cooperating."

The air defense forces these years are actually only responsible for dealing with, or driving away, low-flying airships. To deal with airships flying at high altitude, there are still only airships.

Of course, after the end of the air combat on the Rhine, these experiences are already in the past.

I do not know whether it is for secrecy, or because of bureaucratic dereliction of duty, or that it is not necessary. In short, these military ideas have not been transferred to the Governor of Jacob in the first place.

With this order, a scene that originally happened on the banks of the Rhine River appeared again over Cairo, but on a much smaller scale.

In a sense, the order of Governor Jacob is also correct. The airship force is over, and it also reduces the logistical pressure on the Cairo defenders.

After all, from the beginning of the appearance of the aircraft, the airship force without **** escort, lift-off is the live target.

To stay on the ground and waste resources. It is important to know that the maintenance of an airship is also very expensive. The maintenance cost of an airship can keep up with a destroyer.

France may have the ability to build a plane, but if you want to make a fighter in a short time, it is dreaming.

...

After the sound of "Dada Da...", the airbag of a French airship was broken and it quickly began to fall.

After replenishing a specially-made bomb, and after confirming that the enemy was finished, he was excited to become the second lieutenant Wade.

Looking around, the French airships all fell and the explosion exploded, and the ones that have not yet fallen have also become comrade-in-arms targets.

Airplanes killing airships do not need help at all. At this time, Lieutenant Wade couldn't get out of the past and snatched the merits of his colleagues.

"It seems that today's harvest is coming to an end. I really envy the guy assigned to the Central European battlefield. I heard that in the air battle on the Rhine, someone created a record of three consecutive kills.

We can’t do it here. The **** Frenchman, who claims to be the number one power in the European continent, didn't know how many ships to equip. "

The young man on the side of the plane couldn't help but laughed and said, "Well, brave Lieutenant Wade, I know you are the bravest warrior.

Such an airship that kills the enemy is too tasteless and simply not worthy of your identity.

Only a close battle can highlight your heroism, for example, go down and capture the French commander Jacob, and create another miracle in military history.

Rest assured, I will bring you a parachute, as long as you want, I don’t mind opening the hatch again. "

The enraged Lieutenant Wade shouted sharply: "Shut up, Adolf! This joke is not funny at all, I have explained it many times, and the words spoken by the drink can't be taken seriously."

There is no doubt that this is the black history of Lieutenant Wade.

Theoretically, if you suddenly fall from the sky, it is still possible to fall into the enemy headquarters. If the enemy has enough brain damage, it may indeed capture the enemy commander in chief.

After landing in the wrong place, the lucky American pilot of the original space-time successfully captured an Italian army.

But similar cases have always been miracles in military history. Although there are Italians among the French soldiers below, more are still French.

Lieutenant Wade also got into his head, so he came up with such a plan for the brain disabled. Now that he is awake, he will not die.

Adolf smiled slightly: "Well, this is my fault. The joke will be stopped for now. Our task has been completed, so it is not a matter of being idle.

Or would I lower the flying height a little bit, you fired a machine gun to see if there was any windfall? "

Austria has been engaged in aircraft research and development for many years, but the combat experience of the Air Force is still about zero.

On this issue, Franz can't help. To grow an army, it requires a lot of experience.

Franz’s Air Force knowledge is very limited, and most of the sources are from the paragraphs I have seen on the Internet. I really want to use it as an Air Force training code, which is not much different from suicide.

"Are you kidding?"

Wade asked incredulously. The facial expression has exposed his inner surprise, as if talking about Adolf's proposal, refreshing his awareness.

"of course!"

Adolf answered yes. After a pause, he explained: "The enemy, dare to let the airship go into the air, proving that the battle on the Rhine has not passed.

Since the enemy has never encountered an airplane, there will naturally be no means of targeting. It is not enough to deal with us by means of dealing with airships.

Try it at a height of 500 meters. I will fly away immediately when there is danger. Anyway, the reaction speed of the enemy cannot keep up with us.

In case we are lucky enough to kill a few big fish, we earn it. "
