Chapter 789

Franz guessed right, there were indeed Austrian domestic forces behind the Mahdi uprising. Just as Friedrich wanted to do something, he immediately got on the line with the rebels.

It turns out that the gold master is always the most popular. As a pioneer of the African independence movement, Mahdi welcomed the Austrian military delegation with the most solemn ceremony.

It can be said that the two sides talked very happily. The only regret is that the British also appeared here, which made Hutier and others very unhappy.

Fortunately, everyone's position is the same now, all to cause trouble to the French, but there is no unpleasantness.

After the welcome banquet, someone couldn't help it: "Führer, are the Austrians too perfunctory?"

There is no doubt that everyone is very dissatisfied with the Austrian military dispatch group.

As the so-called "no hair on the mouth, do not work well". Everyone really has no confidence in the military students who have just left the school.

Mahdi waved his hand and smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as the Austrian aid arrives, even if they send a group of gorillas, we will provide it.

Besides, don't you think this is the best way to go now? If we really send a group of old foxes here, I'm afraid we'll have to worry about expelling tigers from the front door and entering wolves from the back door. "

Britain and Austria are different. On the African continent, the British are weak, and it is okay to cause trouble for the French. It is impossible to seize the colonies of the French.

Austria is different, they are the hegemons of the African continent. If it weren't for the alliance of several major colonial empires in Africa, this continent would have been swallowed up by Austria.

In this context, Mahdi naturally has to be wary of the threat from Austria.

The rebels were not monolithic, they were only temporarily united because of a common enemy.

Once international forces intervene, internal hidden dangers can easily be magnified, resulting in immeasurable consequences.

He would rather have sent a bunch of rubbish from Austria than face a bunch of old foxes.

A middle-aged man complained: "But, look at what these Austrians mean. They want to intervene in military command, so do these people do it?"

Mahdi shook his head: "No one can answer this question, but the army that the Austrians helped us train is really good.

If they want to command the army, then give them a chance to give them the command of the troops we just collected.

Winning is of course the best, and losing will not cause us much loss. If they really lost the battle, they would have no face to intervene in the command. "

With a bunch of unreliable younger brothers, Mahdi only felt tired. He was very skeptical that initiating this uprising would lead to his untimely death.

It's too late to regret now. At this time, if he quits, not only the French who want to kill the chickens and show the monkeys will not let him go, but even the two investors in Yingao will not let him go.

...

Lieutenant Colonel Hutier: "The situation on the battlefield is very unfavorable for us, the French are already sharpening their knives, and the top leaders of the rebel army have no sense of danger.

One by one, they are busy fighting for power and profits, for fear that our arrival will break the balance of power, but without our support, they would not be able to stop the French at all.

I tested Mahdi in private just now. His attitude is very firm. It is impossible to gain command of the rebel army.

Now the British are also involved, and with the chips in our hands, at most we will get a motley army.

On the way here, everyone has seen what the main force of the uprising army is. In the future, what we will command is probably the rabble among the rabble.

I don't think they can carry out orders meticulously, and the combat content they learned in school is basically useless here. "

The most important thing on the battlefield is execution. If the execution of the army is not enough, no matter how good the tactics are, they will not be able to exert their power.

The core of determining the executive power of an army lies in the quality of grass-roots officers. In this war, this is not an impossible problem to solve.

It is not easy to train these rabble into soldiers, and it is not realistic to train qualified officers at the grassroots level.

The French will not give them time, and it is not far from the French counterattack.

In the context of Yingao's inability to end the game in person, the probability of the rebels winning infinitely approaches zero, and efforts have only slightly increased this probability.

The best ending is to cause huge casualties to the French, making the French government feel that the war is not worth the loss, and then choose a remote and isolated side.

Falkenham echoed: "It is true, with this rabble to fight the French, it is no wonder that the above is not optimistic about us at the beginning.

Unless it is commanded by God, the insurgent army has no chance of winning.

But this has little to do with us. Our task now is to trouble the French as much as possible, preferably to bring the war to the Nile Delta.

The British should support us, they want the rebels all the way to the Suez Canal to give them an excuse to interfere in the canal. "

The military ability is not necessarily the strongest among the few, but the political savvy Falkingham is undoubtedly bright, and he can see the true goals of the British at a glance.

"The British want exactly what neither we nor the French want to give, so they are doomed to fail.

The rebels couldn't get to the Suez Canal, but at the slightest sign the French would go mad.

The Paris government can fully invest hundreds of thousands of troops, even if it takes all the young men into force.

Dress up, and train into an army can't stop it.

So destroying the Nile Delta region, which the French have painstakingly managed, has completed most of our task.

If we can get away with breaking Cairo, we will have the opportunity to become the future commanders of the battle against France. "

Seeing the strange eyes from everyone, Potiorec waved his hand hurriedly: "Isn't it just a joke to see what I'm doing, as for this?"

Sthausenburg answered decisively: "Of course!"

"If this step can be achieved, it is estimated that the French will not need to mix. Maybe the country will take advantage of the victory and chase the French directly.

Why don't you go for a challenge, Major Portiorek? I can guarantee that if you do it, you will be the youngest general in Austria. "

It is not easy to be an Austrian general. In times of peace, it takes one step at a time. Under the best circumstances, it will take twenty or thirty years before it is possible to become a general.

It's different if you have military exploits, you can be promoted in minutes. The rules have long been established. As long as your military exploits are strong enough, you can go all the way. Age and qualifications are not a problem.

Potiorec shook his head: "Is halfway done?"
