Alexander port.

The members of the Austrian Marine Corps never expected that the defense of Egypt's most important port city would be so lax.

In just one hour, they took control of the port and surrounding forts.

According to Neiying, the newly appointed Governor of Alexander expropriated the city. Except for a few dignitaries and wealthy businessmen who fled, more than half of the wealth in the entire city was in the treasury.

According to the new Governor-General, the battle at the front line is tight, and if he refuses to pay, he is collaborating with the enemy, so no one dares not to pay. In fact, the money is that Al Said, who is going to make another fortune before running away, so that he can retire in the United States.

"Extreme Spiritual Chaos Jue"

In fact, most of the Egyptian dignitaries and wealthy businessmen who negotiated extradition with the United States chose Matruh Port, because it had been ransacked by the Austrian Navy before, and theoretically there would be no second attack.

And even the Austrian Navy will not attack American ships that also belong to the Western camp.

The reason why Alexandria's guards are so lax is not the Karamanli family's credit, but Al Said's fault.

Al Saeed had collected so much wealth that it was impossible to take it away without being discovered. So he decided to let the Americans come directly to Alexandria, so that he could transport all the treasures in the shortest time.

And what Al Said has to do is to weaken the defense of Alexandria as much as possible. When the American warship enters the harbor, even if others find him a traitor, there is nothing they can do about him.

Just as Al Saeed was discussing his life with the concubine, one of his personal soldiers knocked on the door.

"My lord, my lord, something is wrong!"

"You better have something to do, or I'll cut off your head." Al was very upset to be disturbed.

"Enemy ships! The enemy ships are attacking! The enemy troops have landed, and the eight Aga are all missing now. What should we do?" The guards didn't know Al Said's plan.

Because Al knew that the less people knew about his calling for the fleet, the safer he was. Killing, wouldn't it be a waste of all efforts?

As for the disappearance of all eight Aghas, it was God's help for Al Said.

Aqa is an official position in the Arab world, almost equivalent to the head of the regiment, and in Alexandria, it is the head of the eight barracks.

The disappearance of these people is naturally due to a series of assassinations, kidnappings, ambushes and other means, which will cause these people to die or be injured. The Egyptian soldiers without a commander simply didn't want to rush into the city to fight against an enemy army of unknown numbers and origins.

Compared to the well-defended Bay of Gods (where the Egyptian Navy hides its warships), Alexandria's defenses are like paper lakes.

"Go to the treasury quickly, we are leaving here, and you can enjoy the blessings with me in the future." Al Saeed thought it was an American warship coming to pick him up, so he excitedly ordered his men to go to the treasury to move stuff to port.

"My lord, where are we going?" the soldier asked.

"America," Al-Sayed replied triumphantly.

The size of the Austrian Navy is no longer what it used to be, but it is still dispatched by small and medium-sized steam warships and troop carriers.

There is no other reason, because the speed of the steamship is fast. Although the large warships captured from Egypt have strong firepower and strong defense, they lack sufficient maneuverability for sneak attacks.

In the docks of Venice and Trieste, the transformation of those Egyptian warships is being carried out overtime. They are Friedrich's baby bumps, and they are also important chess pieces for Franz.

In addition to bringing 3,000 marines this time, Friedrich also brought 2,000 troops and 2,000 professional sailors.

Stealing a house is addictive. What Friedrich wanted was not only the treasury and arsenal in Alexandria, but also all the ships in the port.

The Egyptian defenders responsible for guarding the arsenal gave up after only a symbolic resistance, the most important garrison force in the city.

Those Egyptian soldiers who were still sleeping were even worse, as Congreve rockets flew in from the door. The choking sulfur smell filled the whole house, and the flames from the explosion ignited the barracks they were in.

The fire quickly engulfed the camp, and there was a panic in the military camp. Some people were awakened by the fire in their sleep, and some were burned to death. The few Egyptian soldiers who escaped desperately were ambushed by marines hiding in the dark.

Those who ran in the flames were almost knocked down by them. Soon there was a smell of burning corpses in the air. The soldiers did not kill them all, but left a way for the Egyptians to survive. As long as they ran into the mountains or the desert, the soldiers would no longer pursue them.

In the city, **** street fighting did not take place. In the treasury of Alexandria, in addition to a large amount of property, there are also copper, iron, and hundreds of thousands of tons of grain.

At this time, the residents of the city have already rushed over. This is of course Franz's handwriting. He hopes that the Karamanli family can make the Egyptians think that the Austrians are here to save them from the tyrant, so they will not set fire to the city, but will open a warehouse. put food.

The reason why Franz did this was not only for family reputation, but also because he believed that Friedrich would not be able to move everything away.

The fact is also true, those copper ingots and iron ingots cannot be moved at all. Apart from gold and silver, Friedrich mainly aimed at cotton, indigo and ships.

As for the weapons in the Egyptian arsenal, except for the cannons, they were all distributed to the Egyptian civilians on the spot.

Friedrich felt that even if the civilians took arms, they would be powerless against the regular Egyptian army.

But what Franz wanted was not for the civilians to defeat the regular army, but to strengthen the strength of the people. This is a very good choice whether it is to force Egypt to surrender, or to let Britain shed more blood when conquering Egypt.

Since ancient times, what colonists fear most is security warfare. As long as the cost of maintaining an area exceeds the benefits, the colonists will lose interest in it.

Al Said originally heard that the enemy army was moving things from the treasury, which made him feel that the Americans were really considerate in their service. But when he saw countless Egyptian people robbing property in the treasury, he couldn't help feeling angry from his heart.

"Why are the damned untouchables in my treasury~lightnovelpub.net~What are they doing, call those Americans over!" Al Saeed roared.

Several soldiers took sticks and rushed into the crowd, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. When the Egyptian people saw that it was the governor who came, they shrank their necks in fright.

Soon the soldiers reported to Governor Al that all the gold, silver and jewelry in the treasury had been taken away by those "Americans".

When Governor Ayer saw that the "American" was about to abandon him, he immediately ordered his soldiers to open the way and take him to the pier. No matter what, he would leave here today.

It's just that gunshots suddenly sounded in the crowd, and only then did the Egyptians realize that now that they have weapons, they don't have to be afraid of those Egyptian officials who have been bullying them.

The Egyptian people picked up the guys in their hands one after another, and opened fire on the domineering governor and his soldiers, and the battle was imminent.

At this time, the Austrian Navy has completed the second interception and is preparing to flee the scene on board.
