Chapter 818 Too Much Money Is Also a Trouble

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

No matter how Russia and Austria pulled back, despite the French's all-out efforts, the insurgent army led by Mahdi was still unable to hold on, and the record was appalling.

If it wasn't for the 8th Division's destruction when it was retreating and blocking the Nile River, which increased the logistical pressure on the French army, the French would have already killed the rebel army's lair, Sudan.

At the headquarters of the Eighth Division, Fajinghan hurried in: "Lieutenant Colonel, something big has happened.

Just received news that Mahdi died last night. The cause of death is not yet known, but it is suspected to be related to wound inflammation. "

If you want to survive on the battlefield, in addition to having a life-saving ability, it depends more on luck.

Mahdi was very unlucky. While patrolling the troops, he was hit in the left leg by a stray bullet that flew from somewhere.

The bullet didn't hurt the bone, just left a hole in the thigh. With the medical technology of this age, this can only be regarded as a minor injury.

The bullet didn't hit the vitals, and as long as it was treated in time, in all likelihood, it would be possible to survive.

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

In theory, inflammation is not a fatal injury, and most of them can save lives after using antibiotics. It really can't, and it can be amputated to save life.

It's a pity that this is the African continent that lacks doctors and medicines. Britain and Austria do not have the luxury to send medical staff to the rebel army. What is popular here is...

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

It doesn't matter whether Mahdi lives or dies, the key is that he died at the wrong time, and Hutier and the others don't bother to ask him to receive the lunch at another time.

But it is not possible now. The rebel army has just suffered heavy losses and was beaten by the French to lose its temper. It is the time to boost morale.

It was raining overnight, and Mahdi died at this time, and there was not even a single flag bearer in the insurgent army.

No matter who is in the top position, they cannot convince everyone. Next, around the battle for leadership, there will definitely be a battle between dragons and tigers within the insurgent army.

Now the insurgent army is really "distressed at home and abroad", and it may be destroyed at any time.

After pondering for a while, Hutier replied with a wry smile: "This news came at an untimely time, it seems that our mission is coming to an end."

Hutier's restlessness can be seen from the tone of voice mixed with the stubbornness and the sadness between his eyebrows.

In peaceful times, it is too difficult for soldiers to make achievements. This Egyptian rebellion is already the best chance they have been waiting for.

Leaving now can get a good review, but it's only good. If it is scored, it will be at most 80 points, which is still 20 points away from the full score.

There is no way, strategically they have succeeded, and they have successfully added chaos to the French. But tactically, they didn't have a single shot record.

The few victories were also piled up by crowd tactics. In almost every battle, the casualties of one's own side are several times that of the enemy's.

The competition in the Austrian army is also very cruel, and it follows the natural law that the strong are respected. Naturally, such a record cannot be shown to anyone.

Portiorek: "We have to leave anyway, so it's better to leave now. If we drag on, we will witness a farce."

The French army is under pressure, and the insurgent army is already in danger, but the high-level people are still intriguing and vying for power.

As an orthodox soldier, Potiorec naturally didn't want to witness such a farce.

Especially if it continues, it is possible to drag Austria into the water, so it can't stay.

...

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

If the French hadn't suddenly dispatched troops and forced the rebels to retreat again, there might have been a full-scale military campaign within the rebels.

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

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

In the general headquarters, Lieutenant General Jarrett, 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 management of the Eighth Division disappeared collectively. It seems that the Austrians chose to give up the rebel army."

With a "bang", the documents on Jarrett's desk had already flown out.

There is no doubt that this is a terrible news for Lieutenant General Jarrett.

With the loss of Austrian support, the insurgents are less likely to turn the tables.

Unlike general missions, Lieutenant General Jarrett sincerely hopes that the rebel army will succeed. Since the Aswan victory pushed him to the ranks of the world's famous generals, Lieutenant General Jarrett has been inseparable from the uprising army.

Famous players need to be supported by records, and there is no record that can be compared to defeating the French.

Life is alive, fame and fortune are two words.

Lieutenant General Jarrett can't be vulgar, especially after getting it, he doesn't want to lose it.

After all, the Aswan victory was too watery, and the insurgents suffered far more casualties than the French.

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

No

Some people like this kind of ruthless commander, especially the middle and lower level officers and soldiers, and no one wants to be betrayed.

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

Anger cannot solve the problem, unless Britain and Austria directly intervene, the outcome of this uprising is already doomed.

Originally, Jarrett's plan was to provoke a conflict between Fao and Austria and pull Austria into the water. Under the current international environment, as long as there is a fuse, the possibility of conflict between France and Austria is as high as 80%.

After calming down, Lieutenant General Jarret realized that nothing could be done: "Jack, prepare to pack up, we have to leave here as soon as possible.

To do it secretly, not to attract the attention of this gang... I remembered what was in the warehouse and had to take it all away. "

If you just want to run away, you don't need to pack up, it's better to leave quietly.

Obviously, Lieutenant General Jarrett is not a master of two sleeves, and he has used his position to obtain a lot of benefits.

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

The latter, in particular, has no value at all in the eyes of the upper echelons of the rebel army. Since Jarrett likes it, he will give it away.

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

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

The young officer Jack shook his head: "General, we have so much stuff that we need at least dozens of carriages to transport.

With so many things, it would be difficult to leave quietly without disturbing the upper echelons of the rebel army. "

Jarrett had heard the most pretentious sentence, "too much money is also a trouble", never expected that he would be met by himself.

Running away with dozens of carriages, let alone the top of the rebel army, it is estimated that even the hostile French could not hide it.

Once the news is exposed, not to mention running away with the goods, it is a question mark whether he can save his life.

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

Jack was not annoyed at being scolded, and asked with a smile, "Uncle, what is your plan?"

Jarret glared at his nephew and said angrily: "Shut up, remember to call the general. If your kid wants to go further in the army, don't expose our relationship."

Like most European armies in this era, the British army naturally has 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 personal connections are exposed, it will not matter 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, anyway, ordinary people can only envy, jealous, and hate, but in fact, there are endless troubles. When you are promoted to a high position, being taken out by your competitors to pick things up is the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

As for the evacuation plan?

What plan is needed for this, wouldn't it be nice to run with the army directly?

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