Chapter forty-ninth, the younger generation

Franz guessed right, behind the Mahdi rebels was indeed Austrian domestic forces involved. Frederick was about to make trouble, but he immediately joined the line with the rebels.

As it turns out, the financial owners are always the most popular. As a pioneer of the African independence movement, Mahdi welcomed the Austrian military dispatched team with the most solemn ceremony.

The two sides had a great conversation. The only regrettable thing was that the British also appeared here, which made Huthier and others very unhappy.

Fortunately, everyone's position is consistent now, all to cause trouble for the French, and there is no unpleasantness.

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

There is no doubt that everyone is very dissatisfied with this military dispatched group in Austria.

As the saying goes, "I have no worries about my mouth and I can't do things in a solid manner." Everyone really has no confidence in military students who have just left school.

Mahdi waved his hand and smiled, "This doesn't matter. As long as the Austrians' assistance comes, we will provide it even if they send a group of gorillas.

Besides, don’t you think this is the best now? If we really send a group of old foxes over, we may be worried about driving tigers and getting into the wolf at the front 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 French colony.

Austria is different. They are the overlords of the African continent. If it weren’t for the alliance of several major colonial empires in Africa, this continent would have been monopolized by Austria.

In this context, Mahdi naturally had to be alert to the threat from Austria.

The internal rebel army was not a solid piece of iron. Everyone was temporarily united because of their common enemies.

Once international forces intervene, internal hidden dangers are easily amplified and cause immeasurable consequences.

He would rather Austria send a bunch of messy waste than face a group of old foxes.

A middle-aged man complained: "But, judging by what these Austrians mean. Do they want to interfere in military command, just rely on these people?"

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

If they want to command the army, then give them a chance to hand over the troops we just incorporated to them.

Of course it is best to win, and if you lose, you won’t cause us much loss. If you really lose, they will have no shame to intervene later.”

Mahdi felt tired with these unreliable little brothers. He was very suspicious that launching this uprising would make him die young.

It's too late to regret now. When you withdraw at this time, not only will the French who want to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys not let him go, but even the two British and Austrian investors cannot spare him.

...

Lieutenant Colonel Hutier: "The situation on the battlefield is very unfavorable to us. The French are already sharpening their knives, and the senior leaders of the rebel army do not have any sense of crisis.

They were busy fighting for power and profit, fearing that our arrival would break the balance of power. Don’t you know that without our support, they would not be able to stop the French.

I just tried Mahdi in private. His attitude was very firm. It was impossible to gain command of the rebel army.

Now the British have also participated, and with the chips in our hands, we can only get a miscellaneous army at most.

On the way here, everyone has seen what the main force of the rebel army is. What we want to command in the future is probably the mob among the mobs.

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

The most important thing on the battlefield is execution. The army's execution is insufficient, and no matter how good the tactics are, they cannot exert their power.

The core of determining the execution ability of an army lies in the quality of grassroots officers. In this war, this is not an impossible problem.

It is no longer easy to barely train these mobs into soldiers. It is simply unrealistic to train qualified grassroots officers.

The French would not give them time, and it was not far from the French counterattack.

Against the backdrop of Britain and the Olympics unable to take the lead, the rebels' chances of winning are infinitely close to zero, and efforts only increase this chance slightly.

The best outcome is that it caused huge casualties to the French, making the French government feel that the war is not worth the cost, and then chose a remote countryside to control the party.

Fajinhan agreed: "It is true. He brought these gangs of mobs to fight the French. No wonder the above didn't look forward to us at the beginning.

Unless God comes to command, the rebels will have no chance of winning.

But this has little to do with us. Our current task is to cause trouble for the French as much as possible, and it is best to burn the war to the Nile Delta.

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

Military capabilities are not necessarily the strongest among the few, but the political mind of Fakingham is undoubtedly inspired and can see the true goals of the British at a glance.

Pothorec smiled and said, "What the British want is exactly what we and the French don't want to give, so they are doomed to fail.

The rebels could not reach the Suez Canal, and the French would go crazy if they showed a little sign.

The Paris government can invest hundreds of thousands of troops to come, and even if it armed all the young and strong, it would not be able to stop it from training into an army.

So we destroyed the Nile Delta region that the French worked hard to manage, and most of our mission was completed.

If we can overcome Cairo by chance, we will have the opportunity to become the commanders of the future war against France."

Seeing everyone's strange eyes, Pothiorek waved his hand quickly: "Why are you looking at me for? Isn't it just a joke? As for this?"

Sthausenburg replied firmly: "Of course!"

"If we can do this, the French would probably not have to mess around. Perhaps the Vienna government would take advantage of the victory to directly defeat the French.

Why don't you challenge Major Pothorec? I can guarantee that as long as you do it, you will be the youngest general in Austria."

It is not easy to be an Austrian general. It takes 20 or 30 years to get to power in peacetime.

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

Pothiorek shook his head: "Can you do half of it?"
