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. ”
