Battle of the Third Reich
Vol 6 Chapter 112: situation
The German special envoy visited Egypt secretly, and of course did not allow large-scale foreign publicity. At this time, apart from the necessary diplomatic honours, no local politicians and media were present at the airport.
However, in view of the fact that the British management system in Egypt has been severely infiltrated, it is impossible to prevent this secret leak. The news of the German envoy’s visit to Egypt will surely trigger excessive speculation and interpretation by Egyptian society.
This is actually the result that the British want to see, because those nationalists in Egypt have longed for Germany to come to liberate Egypt and help them to be completely independent from the British. It’s time to break their stupid dream, Let them know that unless the British Empire voluntarily gives up its privileges, no one wants to challenge the supreme glory of His Majesty the King.
The defeat of the British army on the European battlefield has caused a heavy blow to the prestige of the British Empire. Some local forces that had previously chosen to lie dormant in the face of the mighty force of the United Kingdom began to move.
Especially when Britain began to transfer combat troops from the colonies to the homeland, some colonial forces took advantage of the reduction of British garrison forces and began to secretly expand their sphere of influence, occupying a lot of land and rights that originally belonged to the British controlled area.
The European War saw the colonial people see the weakness of the British Empire. They no longer regarded the British as the dominant ruling class. They began to plan a rebellion in preparation for regaining their own rights from the British.
Don't believe that these people are all for national independence and liberation. Most of them just want to divide the British profit share and obtain the power to enslave the people. Because there is no certain authority and strength in this part of the Middle East, it is impossible to lead an anti-colonial uprising.
Over a decade ago, the Arab chiefs had proved the truth with the tragic fact that even the army formed by the most powerful Arab tribe warriors could not defeat the British regular army armed with modern weapons and tactics.
The leaders of these desert nations are either tribal chiefs or princes and nobles of the old empire. Weak meat and strong food are the rules they have followed for hundreds of years. When they find that the enemy is too strong to defeat, they will wisely choose to cooperate and compromise and obey.
But don't think these people will succumb sincerely, they just stand up in the shadows, wait for the moment when the strong one becomes weak, and then quietly launch a fatal blow from behind.
These people are only loyal to their respective tribes and interests. Religion is just the tool they use to rule. They know the essence of religion better than anyone. If necessary, they will not hesitate to tamper with the doctrine to make their own decrees and decisions. Out explanation.
Compared with a messy Arab tribal power, the division of power in Egypt is much simpler. The king is a wine-skinned man, but he has little desire for power. This is a very important thing for the British and the Egyptian cabinet. A competent puppet.
He gathered a large group of political forces that depended on and used the power of the king. These people controlled the Egyptian government. Most of them were Egyptian capitalists or planters. They knew that they wanted to keep their property and power. The most reliable way is to maintain status quo.
At present, the most important and dangerous anti-British force in Egypt is the Waffle Party (Party of the Egyptian Independence Movement, the original meaning of the delegation in Arabic), which is dedicated to the independence of Egypt.
This party once launched a large-scale anti-British movement that almost swept across Egypt in 1919. Then the protest movement spontaneously evolved into an armed uprising among the people. The insurgents destroyed railways and bridges and attacked British police and soldiers. A large number of infrastructures were destroyed. However, at that time, the waffle party showed restraint. They demanded that the people abandon the violent confrontation and seek to use political means to resolve disputes.
The Egyptian insurgents suffered heavy losses under the suppression of the British forces, but the British interests in Egypt were also greatly lost, because the British suffered severe damage to China’s power in World War I and could not afford another war, so they chose to move with the Egyptian independence movement. The reconciliation gave up part of the administrative power and gave Egypt its nominal independence.
The British can't afford to fight. If you change to the Victorian era, even if the Egyptian corpses are laid across the field, the pyramids of Giza are painted with blood, the British Empire will never compromise with the rebels. Similarly, the Egyptians were indeed afraid of being killed by the brutal British army, plus the waffle party was keen to seek a political solution, otherwise it would not agree to the non-divided conditions proposed by the British.
From this we can see that the British have sophisticated diplomatic and political skills. They can always choose the most suitable time to reach a more favorable deal for themselves.
Although the independence was only half completed, it was already a huge victory for Egypt. The leaders of the waffle party that led the negotiations became heroes in the hearts of the Egyptians. At that time, 90% of the members of the Egyptian parliament were waffle parties, and the government was Firmly controlled in the hands of party members, the waffle party seems to have become the darling of history.
But the good times don't last long because the waffle party has always been obsessed with taking back the rest of the power from the British and eventually wiped out the patience of the British parliamentarians. After ten years of painstaking operation, the British military strength has been restored to a certain extent. At the same time, she also needs to draw more blood from Egypt to make up for the shortfall caused by the world economic crisis.
In addition, because of the long-term control of government power, the waffle party violated the interests of many people in the process of governance, offended a large number of capital forces in Egypt, many of them are powerful farmers and big capitalists.
In the end, these forces collaborated with the British inside and outside, exerting pressure on the king at that time, and finally the king forcibly ordered the reorganization of the cabinet, overthrowing the waffle party's 11-year rule of Egyptian politics.
After more than a decade of being the master, he was kicked off the dust at once, and no one would be reconciled to change to anyone. So in June 1930, the waffle party's old tricks were repeated. This time, instead of choosing a political route, they directly gathered a group of people and launched the so-called "June uprising."
The slogan they shouted this time was "National independence, against the monarchy." The spearhead was directed at the ruling power of the Egyptian king. As a result, during this uprising, most of the traditional Egyptian forces stood on the side of the king. At that time, King Fuad I sent troops and police trained and armed by the British to bloodyly suppress the insurgents. The waffle party was brutally murdered. A large number of high-level leaders and elite members were arrested. The waffle party was kicked out of the government and the activity began to go underground.
But the hundred-footed worm died rather than stiff, and the tough waffle party members still slowly accumulated their power in secret. Now these people are no longer satisfied with driving away the British colonists, they also want to further overthrow the Egyptian monarchy.
During the most tense period of European wars, British control of Egypt weakened rapidly, and a large number of troops were transferred to the Libyan border to guard against possible attacks by the Italian colonial army.
Some waffle believers thought this was an opportunity, so they launched several attacks against the British troops stationed in Cairo. This group of guys should be out of luck. They were not attacking the British, but Australia from afar. soldier.
This group of wild and rough Australian cowboys has no gentlemanly manner. At least half of the attackers were killed on the spot. Then the Australian soldiers used the bayonet and the noose to solve the remaining half. When the superior thought of tracing the messenger, but I realized that there wasn't a live mouth on the scene.
But not every attack was a failure. Several ammunition depots guarded by the Egyptian Army were attacked, and a large number of British ammunition and ordnance stored there were lost. The British knew that there must be an internal ghost in this matter, but considering the morale of the Egyptian army, it would be difficult to screen out the internal response at one and a half times, and these lost weapons are also unknown, which has become a big buried in Egyptian folk. Hidden dangers.
This is not a question that Sir Fay needs to consider. He is a noble member of the House of Lords. His eyes should be placed on a higher level. The maintenance of social stability is the work of the police and the army gendarmes. Their duty is to protect the interests of the British Empire and Safety.
"Is this the plane of the German envoy? I thought it should be bigger." Colonel Henry said, looking at his glasses.
"That should be a Xunlong, our own aircraft." An Air Force major reported.
"What? Has our plane arrived at this time?" Henry turned around and asked.
"There is no such plane in the plan, and it may have landed here temporarily." The major replied shaking his head.
"Let this plane land in another place, and the German envoy's plane is almost here." Sir Fay said aloud.
"Good lord, I'll deal with it immediately." The major quickly hurried towards an open-top communication car by the runway.
"Hahaha, see. Cairo Air Force Base is in front of me. I was really the best!" Lieutenant Krieger laughed in the cockpit of the Dehaviland dh89 Xunlong transport aircraft.
"This group of British **** thought they could kill me with this pile of junk. They made a wrong idea. Don't worry about that red light, Miss Dewar, this just means that the engine oil on the right is running out." Krigley turned his head Loudly comforted Miss Duval, who was sitting in the passenger seat behind him, and now the other person became pale with a nervous face.
"The engine is burning smoke, Lieutenant, and the oil pressure gauge on your right is no longer reading." Horne reminded loudly on the partition window between the cockpits.
"There is no problem at all. We have enough altitude and speed. But this thing has four main wings. Even if it is unpowered gliding, I have full confidence to land it on the **** runway." Krieger gently closed The throttle of the right engine was reduced, and then the joystick was pushed forward. The aircraft began to dive down a small slope, and the rapid descent caused a sense of weightlessness. There were small exclamations of two beautiful women in the cabin.
