Originally, Marin planned to determine the situation. If Egypt was still defeated, he would help Egypt to defend the west bank of the Suez Canal that was being excavated, resist the Turkish offensive and protect Egypt's mainland.

Because of the Suez Canal, the Venetians who were digging the river would also help the Egyptians to keep this line. By then, it would not be the Marin family to support Egypt. It would be very difficult for the Turks to conquer Egypt's mainland.

However, the current situation has given Marin another idea - it can completely block the Turks' pace of going south in southern Lebanon with the terrain advantages of the Beca Valley and the Golan Heights...

The Golan Heights, a key place in conflict in later generations, left a deep impression on Marin. It was full of trenches and barbed wire, and it was also a hot spot for later international news.

If the Egyptians could defend the Golan Heights and the southern end of the Beka Valley, it would be difficult for the Turkish army to go south to control the Palestinian region. Then, the war would not have to burn near Egyptian land.

Most importantly, the Mamluk dynasty in Egypt had the opportunity to continue the spice route from land to Persia. In this way, the Egyptians would not collapse.

And if the Turks push the front to the Sinai Peninsula, then everything will be over...

Because the roads connecting Persia and India on land would be completely interrupted, and the sea would be blocked by the Spanish and Portuguese jointly. At that time, the Mamluk dynasty in Egypt would have no hope, and it would be even more impossible to resist Turkey.

Therefore, Marin decided to take advantage of the fact that the Egyptian army was still controlling the Golan Heights and Beka Valley to help the Egyptians consolidate their defense line, completely block the Turks in this place, and protect the territory in the south.

Due to the particularity of the terrain, it is much simpler to fortify the Golan Heights and the narrow southern end of the Beca Valley and much lower cost than fortification in northern Syria.

As long as solid walls and trenches are built at the southern end of the Beca Valley, roads are destroyed on the Golan Heights, and passes are blocked, they can withstand the Turks' way southward...

However, Marin didn't believe it very much when he hoped that the Egyptians could do it well. Therefore, Marin planned to take action himself and send someone to help build the defense line...

Malin has an advantage in building a defense line because he has cement in his hand...

With cement, it would be much easier for the people of Marin to build fortifications in the narrow areas of the southern end of the Beca Valley. And, it would be very fast.

As for the Golan Heights, it is estimated that a lot of explosives will be used to destroy all the roads suitable for attacking down the slope. Then, cement will be used to build fortifications at some important passes. In this way, even if the Turks want to conquer this place in the future, it will be extremely difficult...

Then, the Egyptians deployed enough musketeers in these fortifications and used the Beihai Kingdom Rumi gun to defeat the Turkish army...

The core of it lies in the construction of fortifications and the introduction of weapons and ammunition...

Weapons and ammunition are easy to say, but Marin is providing the cost price to Egypt. But the construction of fortifications... Marin did not intend to deal with others and decided to send troops to carry out the matter himself...

After thinking about it, Marin decided to send an advisory group and a team of engineers to help and guide the Egyptians to build fortifications in the Beca Valley and the Golan Heights to block the Turks' pace of going south.

At the same time, Marin will also send people to rebuild the port in Haifa as an important port for transporting cement.

Haifa is located on the northwest coast of the Palestine region, and in later generations, the Port of Haifa was also the largest port in the Palestine region.

Haifa Port has a long history, but during the 13th century European Crusades, Haifa City was captured and destroyed by the Crusaders. Since then, Haifa Port has become a small coastal fishing village and was not "resurrected" until modern times due to railway reasons.

Now, because Haifa Port is only a few dozen kilometers south of the Golan Heights and Beca Valley, which is convenient for transportation, Marin plans to send people to build a dock at Haifa Port to facilitate future cement transportation.

At that time, the troops sent by Marin will transport a large amount of cement to the Golan Heights and the Beca Valley for the construction of solid walls and fortifications that block the Turks.

Once the walls and fortifications are fully built, Egypt will not need more than 20,000 troops to be stationed for a long time. At that time, only a few thousand soldiers will be needed to guard those passes and easily block the attack of the Turkish army...

...

Therefore, the troops sent this time are secondary to war, and the most important thing is to arrange defenses and build fortifications...

After thinking about it, Marin finally remembered a person - Mano, the commander of the Engineering Corps...

Mano and the famous Maginot (Defense Line) in later generations were pronounced a little bit short, but for the same thing, both Mano and Maginot were very proficient in building fortifications.

Strictly speaking, Macino is a general and the Minister of the Army, while Mano was once a senior craftsman who served the army...

To be more specific, Mano was once a bricklayer who was responsible for building walls...

Later, Mano, who was still a little mason, began to serve German mercenaries, leading the construction team and helping to build fortifications. Then, Mano entered the North Sea Army. Because of his outstanding professional ability, he was appreciated by Marin and was trained to become an important commander of the engineering army...

Whether it is using cement concrete to build ordinary houses and walls, or building bunkers and artillery towers, Mano is very good at it. In his hands, the engineering corps built a large number of bunkers and fortifications, which is very experienced.

Now, the defeated Mamluk dynasty in Egypt does not need generals who can fight, but professionals who can build solid fortifications for them.

Just so happens that Mano, who was a bricklayer, is such a professional talent...

Marin planned to equip Mano with 1,000 well-skilled engineers to send them to the Middle East together and land in the small fishing village of Haifa. Then, take land to the Golan Heights and the southern end of the Beca Valley.

Then, there, using cement and other materials sent by the Beihai national transportation, to build solid walls and fortifications in the local area to facilitate the prevention of the Turkish army's journey south...

In addition to cement, Marin will also send people to transport a large amount of asbestos to mix it into cement to build a concrete wall with asbestos fibers. In this way, the wall's resistance to attack can also be enhanced.

In any case, the Turks also had artillery. If the wall was not very solid, it might be blasted. Therefore, at least, the wall should be made of fiber concrete, not just pure cement.

In addition, trenches and traps must be dug outside the fence to increase the safety performance of the defense line. In fact, the construction of the fence is mainly at the southern end of the Beca Valley. After all, the terrain here is relatively flat and more susceptible to attack by Turkish artillery.

Fortunately, Mano's engineering troops can use the local terrain to dig trenches on the hillsides on both sides, and combine asbestos fiber concrete walls to build a solid defense system.

As for the defense line on the Golan Heights, it is even simpler. Because it is a highland, it is impossible for the Turks to transport heavy artillery to go up. Small artillery is difficult to break the walls of fiber concrete. At that time, another bastion design will ensure that it can easily block the Turkish artillery fire...
