Britain has been operating in Egypt for many years, and its influence has already penetrated every inch of the country. In the streets of Cairo, the traces of the British Empire can be seen everywhere. Although some people of insight in the lower and middle levels of Egypt have been seeking to completely separate Egypt from the British, the ruling class of the country is very clear. At this time, the circle around Egypt is all colonies of European countries. With the protection of the United Kingdom, Egypt has no power to continue to maintain sovereignty and territorial integrity in this environment surrounded by strong enemies.

Britain controlled most of the armed forces in Egypt, and at the same time held the power of national diplomacy and some internal affairs. The Egyptians supervised the administrative power of the country on the surface, provided that the opinions of the British Empire could not be disobeyed.

Egyptian King Farouk I was an extravagant **** who spent most of his time on gambling, fishing and hunting in the ancient Chinese There is no doubt that it is a standard stunned king.

He was born with a learning disability, and his talents were extremely limited. Once he was sent to study in England by the incumbent king, he was mixed with the British nobleman every day, but he did not learn other skills. .

He also likes to steal things, you are right, this king is an outstanding thief. In order to practice theft techniques, he also studied under the habit of stealing in a prison. Whenever conducting state affairs and social gatherings, he would look for opportunities to steal personal belongings brought by guests, and then collect these stolen goods as a memorial. The most famous one in history was that he stole Churchill’s pocket watch. As a result, the mean and careful Qiu Fatian did not indulge him like others, but used the state machine to force the king to return the stolen pocket watch.

Therefore, the British side has shown considerable trust in this psychologically obvious guy. This person has not become the capital of the lord at all, and it is impossible to damage the interests of the British Empire in Egypt.

Egypt’s geographical location is very important. She guards the main land channel between Africa and the Middle East, and the Suez Canal is an international shipping channel with strategic value. Before the last resort, the British Empire will never give up Egypt.

The safety of the capital Cairo is of course a top priority, because this city built at the beginning of the Nile Delta has no natural dangers around it. If in ancient times, high walls and deep trenches could be used to resist aggression, but in modern warfare, Cairo is the most suitable target for mechanized troops to assault.

The British built a well-equipped air force base in the west of Cairo, where a fairly powerful air force was placed, and they had full control of the air power in the Nile Delta. They laid two 2,200-meter-long runways on the yellow sand and rock bases to take off and land the largest bomber in the UK. Once Egypt was invaded, the bomber forces could hang out from Cairo and bomb any country in the country. A border.

For Egypt, the biggest threat always comes from the sea. Cairo is less than 170 kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea. Once the enemy troops land from the coastline, it takes only one day and night to reach the capital. The British navy once stationed the main force of the Mediterranean fleet in Alexandria, but now there are few warships remaining in the British mainland, and only some of the ships of the Mediterranean fleet can be transferred to add to the rebuilding of the local fleet.

When the European war was fiercest, Egypt’s defense could only rely on eight infantry battalions from Australia, but now Australians have all returned to their hometowns. In order to protect the security of the sovereign country, Australia finally got these troops together. Now that the war is over, Britain has no reason to continue to buckle up this support force and let these brave soldiers return home safely. This is the best reward for them.

At present, the British armed forces stationed in Egypt have been replaced by a British-Indian infantry division transferred from India. In addition, there are four standard colonial infantry regiments formed in Egypt and sixteen British independent infantry companies. The strength is about four. Tens of thousands of people are inconspicuous in Europe, but in the eyes of some tribal chiefs in the Middle East, this is already a powerful force enough to control the rise and fall of the country.

The British army also deployed a large tank armored force in Egypt. The total number of tanks is enough to compile an armored brigade, but the models are generally older. At least two-thirds of them are behind the defensive power. Light tanks, the rest are slow-moving infantry tanks.

The British established an army factory in Egypt, which can manufacture some conventional ammunition and weapons. Before the outbreak of the European War, technicians could already process easily worn parts on the tank, and could carry out some simple maintenance on the tank.

"These are the Vickers tanks repaired this month. They are here waiting to be received by the troops below." Colonel Hunter rode on a beautiful chestnut Arabian horse, pointing the whip at the two parked on the open space beside the runway Speaking of the platoon.

"The speed of combat preparations must be accelerated. London is very worried about the nasty things that happened on the East Bank, and the patience of the House of Lords will soon be wiped out." Sir Fay rode a black Hanover horse. It was a birthday gift from a German friend.

"You mean, how many of the Whitehall support this plan?" Colonel Hunter turned his head.

"I didn't say anything, Colonel." Sir Faye squeezed his eyes at the colonel.

"Did you say something just now? Your Excellency." The colonel replied very eloquently.

"Now wait for the German African army to settle in Egypt. With the German deterrent, the situation in the Middle East will soon stabilize." Sir Fay said while combing the smooth mane of his mount with his hands.

"Not only the Middle East, but the situation in northern Africa will be affected. In fact, I am more concerned about the attitudes of Iran and Turkey."

"Don't worry about this issue, the Germans have far more influence on them than you. The head of state knew this very well, so he secretly sent his special envoy to Egypt." Sir Fay said confidently.

"Do you think the German messenger came for this operation?" Colonel Hunt asked.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

"You mean, the Germans have mastered our plan?"

"Someone should have told them that anyway, they would have to entrust them in full. We can't hide the Germans while asking their troops to cooperate." Sir Fay shrugged his shoulders.

"Yes, what you said makes sense, Your Excellency." Colonel Hunter nodded in agreement.

"It's almost time to see now. Let's go to the apron. The German messenger's plane is almost here. I don't want guests to wait for us masters." Sir Faye took out his pocket watch and looked at it.

"Do you want to try again? Your Excellency, whoever goes to the apron first wins, I bet ten pounds." Colonel Hunter shook his whip.

"Ten pounds, first-come-first-served." Fay's words didn't fall, the boots of the riding boots lightly hit the waist of the mount, and the Hanover horse under the crotch jumped forward, then moved like a arrow from the string to the distance. And go.

"Hey, you are cheating, sir!" Colonel Hunter hurriedly gave his Arabian horse a whip, and hurriedly chased after the Jazz.
