Chapter 797： Ice and Fire (2/2)

Governor Adolf estimates that in the end, the officers and men who can return to the formed system should be around 10,000, and there will be about 4,000 regular troops.

Almost all the heavy materials carried by the army were lost, and more than 80% of the weapons and equipment were lost, especially the artillery.

To avoid unnecessary losses, Governor Adolf is leading the troops to withdraw Cairo.

Now that Egypt is at its most dangerous time, the colonial government wants domestic reinforcements. ”

There is no way, no one knows that the rebels will pit themselves together. The main force was decisive against the French, and the dam was blown up upstream.

There were no radio telegraphs these days, and the rebels were not capable of laying wired telegraphs or telephones. The decisive battle came to an end just after the flood.

In terms of time, the rebels blew up the dam during the decisive battle. This means that from the beginning, the main forces of the rebels who appeared on the battlefield were abandoned.

Even more sad is that the ”Aswan Dam” was funded by the French government.

Egypt is an important part of the development of France in Africa. In order to protect the downstream areas from flood threats, the essence of the delta is maintained.

In 1875, after the French government decided to restart the African development plan, the first batch of projects started included the Aswan Dam, 23 years earlier than the original time and time British built the Aswan Dam.

The angry Napoleon IV tore the file directly, screaming: ”Why do you count, isn't there all **** in Adolph's head?”

As an experienced general, one should not ignore the dam upstream, and under normal circumstances, even if you march, you should be vigilant.

”Secretly, the colonial government did receive news of the water attack that the rebels were going to use,” Army Secretary Luskinia Hafez explained to the scalp.

However, instead of blowing up the Aswan dam, it is planned to blow up an upper peak along the coast to cut off the river in the Isna region downstream, causing the Nile to divert into the downstream delta.

In fact, the Aswan Dam is still a long way from the delta. It is not a flood season yet, and the impact of the bombing on the downstream is limited.

If it wasn't for the decisive battlefield chosen by the rebels, it would be in the low-lying terrain, tempting the rebel army to decisive battles in the past. Even if the dam is blown up, it is impossible for us to cause such a large loss.

According to information sent back from the front line, the loss of the rebels is at least three times ours. No one knows that the rebels will use the main force as bait, so ... ”

Luskinia Hafez understood Governor Adolf. This is no longer a mere scam, the enemy is clearly a lunatic.

In times of inconvenient communications, use the main force as bait. In case the French army was not fooled, and the dam was exploded upstream, the same tactics would become a one-way suicide.

The reality is not that, although the number of rebels may be more lost, they have won strategically.

The rebel army suffered heavy losses. In a short time, the Egyptian region was unable to organize a second rebel army and had to wait for local reinforcements.

For at least half a month, the rebels can unscrupulously expand their territory and launch more people to join the uprising.

With this result, the rebels have been enough to make the two gold masters behind them stand out and devote more power to support them.

Napoleon IV interrupted: ”Stop saying, no matter how many reasons, failure is failure.

When did the French Army fall to make excuses for failure? ”

Facing the erupting emperor, Luskinia Hafiz decisively chose to follow. Deep down, he had mourned for Governor Adolf.

It is God's blessing to set aside this kind of thing and be able to retreat. If it wasn't for the replacement of soldiers, Adolf would now set off for home and go to a military court to make sense.

After calming down for a while, Napoleon IV said slowly, ”The War Department has reformulated its counterinsurgency plan. I don't want to hear the news of failure.

I remember that I was able to transfer from the country to go to Egypt to preside over the general rebellion. A stupid such as Adolph need not go. ”

The defeated army is the defeated army. No matter how many reasons, the defeat can not be covered up.

Holding back the responsibility of Governor Adolf was not immediately pursued. This was the whole situation of Napoleon IV.

Secretary of the Army Luskinia Hafez hurriedly assured: ”Her Majesty, please be assured. This time the War Department will carefully select people, and there will be no more problems.”
