Just as Austria was preparing to overturn the table, the situation in Egypt was turning upside down.

No matter how Russia and Austria pulled back, with the full efforts of the French, the rebel army led by Mahdi still did not hold on, and the results were miserable.

If it weren't for the 8th Division's sabotage during the retreat, which also blocked the Nile and increased the logistical pressure on the French army, the French would have killed the rebel army's lair - the Sultan.

At the headquarters of the Eighth Division, Fa Jinhan hurriedly entered: "Lieutenant Colonel, something is wrong."

Just received the news that Mahdi had died last night. The cause of death is currently unknown, but it is suspected to be related to the inflammation of the wound. ”

If you want to survive on the battlefield, in addition to having the ability to save your life, it depends more on luck.

Mahdi was very unlucky, and while inspecting the troops, he was hit in the left leg by a stray bullet flying from nowhere.

The bullet did not hurt the bone, but only left a hole in the thigh. In terms of medical technology in these years, this can only be regarded as a minor injury.

The bullet did not hit the vital point, and as long as it was treated in time, there was a chance that it would have survived.

However, Mahdi's luck was not good, and the wound actually became inflamed with this small injury.

Theoretically, inflammation is not a fatal injury, and most of them can save life with antibiotics. It's really not good, you can also amputate your leg to save your life.

Unfortunately, this is the African continent, where there is a shortage of medical treatment, and Britain and Austria do not have the luxury of sending medical personnel to the rebel army, and it is still popular here......

Anyway, after one operation, Mahdi's body collapsed.

Mahdi's life or death is not important, the key is that he died at the wrong time, and he received a boxed lunch at another time, and Huttier and the others didn't bother to ask.

But not now, the rebels have just suffered heavy losses and have lost their temper by the French, and it is time to boost morale.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and Mahdi died at this time, and there was not even a single one in the rebel army who carried a flag.

No matter who is in power, it will not convince everyone. Next, around the struggle for leadership, there must have been a battle within the rebel army.

Now the rebel army can really be described as "internal and external difficulties", and it may be destroyed at any time.

After pondering for a moment, Huthir replied with a wry smile: "This news came at an inopportune time, it seems that our mission is coming to an end. ”

From the thick dryness in his tone, and the sorrow between his eyebrows, it can be seen that Huttier is not calm.

In peacetime, it is too difficult for soldiers to make meritorious contributions. This Egyptian rebellion was the best opportunity they had been waiting for.

Leaving now is certainly a good review, but it's just that. If you score it, it will be 80 points at most, which is a full 20 points away from the full score.

There was no way, strategically they were successful, and they succeeded in causing chaos to the French. But tactically, they don't have a single shot.

The few victories that were also piled up by crowd tactics. In almost every battle, your own casualties are several times greater than those of the enemy.

The competition in the Austrian army was also very cruel, and it followed the natural law of respecting the strong, so it was natural that such a record could not be shown.

Potiolek: "I'm going to leave anyway, so I might as well leave now while I'm in trouble." If it drags on any longer, we will witness a farce. ”

The French army is pressing the border, and the rebel army is already in danger, but the top brass is still intriguing and fighting for power.

As an orthodox soldier, such a farce, Poteolek naturally did not want to witness.

Especially if it continues, there is a possibility that Austria will be dragged into the water, and it will be even more impossible to stay.

……

Not unexpectedly, as soon as Huttier and the others left, the internal power struggle of the rebel army broke out.

If the French hadn't suddenly sent troops and forced the rebel army to retreat again, perhaps the rebel army would have staged an all-out military march within the rebel army.

In line with the principle that he can't get it himself, and he can't let the enemy get it, Lieutenant General Gerett, as an outsider, became the boss of the rebel army in a daze.

Of course, this "boss" is only in name, in fact, Jeret can't control anyone. If you want to command the troops, you can only rely on weapons and equipment to lure these guys to sell their lives.

In the general headquarters, Lieutenant General Gerett, who had just acted as the commander-in-chief, was busy cleaning up the mess at the moment.

"General, I just received the news. The top brass of the 8th Division disappeared en masse, and it seemed that the Austrians had chosen to abandon the rebels. ”

There was a "bang", and the papers on Gerett's desk flew out.

There is no doubt that this is shocking news for Lieutenant General Gerett.

With the loss of Austrian support, the rebels were less likely to turn the tables around.

Unlike normal missions, Lieutenant General Geret genuinely hopes that the rebels will succeed. Since the victory of Aswan pushed him to the list of world famous generals, Lieutenant General Geret has been inseparable from the rebel army.

The famous generals need to be supported by a record, and there is no record that can be compared to the defeat of the French.

Life in the world, fame and fortune.

Lieutenant General Geret can't be reluctant either, especially after getting it, he doesn't want to lose it.

After all, the water in the Aswan victory was too great, and the rebels suffered many more casualties than the French.

If it weren't for political needs, this kind of lose-lose style of play would really not be on the table.

No one likes such a ruthless commander, especially the middle and lower ranks, and no one wants to be betrayed.

Returning home with this record, in addition to gaining fame, Jerret's actual income is not high, and he will even be idle.

Anger will not solve the problem, unless Britain and Austria directly intervene, the end of this uprising is already doomed.

Originally, Jerett's plan was to provoke a Franco-Austrian conflict and pull Austria into the water. In the current international environment, as long as there is a fuse, the probability of a conflict between France and Austria is as high as 80%.

After calming down, Lieutenant General Gerette had already realized that something could not be done: "Jack, prepare to pack your things, we have to get out of here as soon as possible."

It must be done in secret, and this gang of ...... must not be aroused attention. Remember everything in the warehouse, you have to take it all with you. ”

If it's just to run away, naturally you don't need to pack up your things, and it's better to leave quietly.

Obviously, Lieutenant General Geret is not a two-sleeved master, and he has taken advantage of his position to reap a lot of benefits.

Egypt is an ancient civilization with a profound history, gold, silver and jewelry are indispensable, and there are countless antique cultural relics.

The latter, in particular, had no value at all in the eyes of the top brass of the rebel army. Since Jerrett likes it, he naturally wants to give it away.

If you don't please the person in charge, who knows if you will be wearing small shoes when distributing aid.

Now that he is about to run away, Gerette can't forget these gains, and even he has to go one step further and prepare for the rebel army's collection.

The young officer, Jack, shook his head: "General, we have too many things, and we need at least dozens of wagons to transport them.

With so many things, it may be difficult to leave quietly without alarming the top brass of the rebel army. ”

The most pretending sentence that Jarrett has ever heard is that "too much money is also a trouble", and he never expected to be bumped into by himself.

Running away with dozens of carriages, not to mention hiding from the top of the rebel army, it is estimated that even the hostile French will not be able to hide it.

Once the news is exposed, let alone running away with the goods, whether you can save your life is a question mark.

Lieutenant General Geret angrily rebuked: "Idiot, when did I let you run away!" Without the protection of the army, these things are talismans. ”

Jack was not annoyed when he was scolded, and asked with a smile: "Uncle, what is your plan?" ”

Geret glared at his nephew and said angrily, "Shut up, remember to call the general." If you kid still want to go further in the military, don't expose our relationship. ”

Like most European armies of this era, the British army naturally had a lot of nepotism, but this kind of thing can only be understood, not spoken.

In order not to irritate ordinary people in the army, they, the second generation, must keep a low profile as much as possible while enjoying these benefits.

If the relationship is exposed, it will not be tight in the short term, but in the next promotion and appointment, it will inevitably be treated with strange eyes.

It seems that the problem is not big, but ordinary people can only envy, envy and hate anyway, but in fact, there are endless troubles. When you are promoted to a high position, you are taken out by competitors to provoke trouble, which is the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

As for the evacuation plan?

What kind of plan does this need, isn't it fragrant to run away with the army directly?

As soon as you cross the border line and enter British Africa, you are safe.
