Major Ron was an British officer and an infantry regiment commander who was ordered to recover Egypt this time.

At this moment, he was riding on a horse and heading towards Cairo with his troops from the base.

Although the British army's station in the canal area is not far from Cairo, the hot weather and poor road conditions still make the army move slowly.

Especially the artillery battalion assigned to Major Ron for this operation, the cannons they carried severely slowed down the speed of the troops.

"This damn ghost weather!" Major Ron cursed, picked up the kettle and poured it into his mouth.

As a British gentleman born and raised in the British countryside, Ron has long been used to the rainy and rainy weather in the country, and is very uncomfortable with the hot and dry climate of Egypt.

But as a lower-class nobleman with a decline in his family, Major Ron wanted to revive his family, join the army, and make a military contribution. It was the easiest and easiest way to achieve.

As one of the few nobles who had the only one left, Major Ron entered the army as an officer at that time and participated in the last war as a second lieutenant.

With his experience of almost trench feet in the mud of the Marne River and his luck in survival, Major Ron was promoted to the commander of the major infantry regiment, and his superiors also mobilized him to Egypt, a place that was crucial to the British Empire, and it was also one of the few places that could quickly obtain military merits after the war.

Major Ron was very satisfied with his transfer to Egypt. After all, the Suez Canal was an absolutely unabandonable benefit for the British Empire, and the Egyptians' uprisings were an excellent way to obtain military merits in his opinion.

But the only drawback is the bad weather in Egypt and the fact that the local orderly soldiers were not as good as the Indian orderly soldiers he had back then.

"How far are we from Cairo?" Major Ron looked at his orderly man, a good young man from the country, came to join the army with enthusiasm and loyalty to the empire. Major Ron also liked him very much, but perhaps because of his civilian background, the young man's skill in making black tea is really bad.

When asked by Major Ron, the orderly officer hurriedly replied: "Report to Major, we are still about 20 kilometers away from Cairo now, and we should be able to reach the suburbs of Cairo this afternoon."

As an orderly soldier, this information must be grasped at any time so that Shangguan can ask about it.

"Go tell William, let the soldiers speed up, we can rest early when we arrive sooner." Major Ron gave an order to the orderly officer. William was his adjutant and was responsible for the march at this time.

The orderly officer took the order and left, while Major Ron took out the marching map he carried with him and looked it casually.

Major Ron didn't take it too seriously about the task of regaining Cairo.

In his opinion, this was just another uprising by the local opposition in Egypt. These things have been endless since the British occupied this place, and they have suppressed them many times.

Although this time it seemed that it was a big fuss, the entire Cairo was occupied, and even the garrison in Cairo was controlled by the other party, in Major Ron's opinion, this was just a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.

As long as he can successfully recover Cairo, he can write a valuable note on his resume and make good contributions to his country's senior officials in Egypt, which will be very helpful for Major Ron's promotion in the future.

With this idea, Major Ron wished that his troops could arrive in Cairo as soon as possible. He would recover Cairo as soon as possible.

As for whether Cairo can be successfully recovered, it is completely out of Major Ron's consideration.

Although the other party had occupied Cairo and had controlled the Egyptian army in the city and the British troops stationed in Cairo, Major Ron still did not take the other party seriously.

In Major Ron's opinion, the other party was just a group of scattered soldiers who succeeded in the surprise attack while the defenders were unprepared to attack, which was no different from the tribal armed forces that had been suppressed before. Perhaps they looked very intimidating by pretending to be magical and ghosts, and they might have indeed intimidated some people.

For example, the so-called "Pharaoh Guards" that gathered together, their tens of thousands of cavalry did look large and powerful, but this was not what Major Ron cared about.

You should know that the British Empire's troops stationed in the entire Suez Canal area are not as good as the 100,000 people at its peak, but there are tens of thousands of troops there, and the tribal armed forces are not taken seriously by the British Empire at all.

Even if there were really regular armed forces, such as the French, occupied Cairo, the British Empire's army was confident in defending the interests and glory of the empire.

"What are the resurrected mummies, what are the Ten Eclipses of Egypt? These people have been in this ghost place for a long time, and their brains have been damaged." Major Ron didn't believe a single word about the information O'Connor had reported: "It's now the 20th century, why do people still believe this kind of medieval lies? But well, with more than ten thousand cavalry, I can save some trouble when siegeing the city."

In fact, if there were not the ten thousand tribal cavalry from the Pharaoh Guards, the canal garrison would not have sent only one infantry regiment to recover Egypt.

What they fought was to use tribal cavalry to attack Egypt, and then consume the strength of the local armed forces, weaken the power of the opposition, and allow the British to better control the area.

Although the British Empire declared Egypt's independence, it was just giving them an independent name. In fact, the entire Egypt is still under the control of the British Empire.

In order to stabilize the rule, tribal armed forces like these who are not under the control of the British Empire must be restricted. It is best to include them all under the control of the British Empire. This Cairo incident happened to be such a good opportunity.

With this idea in mind, Major Ron urged the troops and finally arrived at the suburbs of Cairo before dark and stationed.

As a qualified officer, although Major Ron looked down on the "tribal armed forces" that occupied Cairo City and was full of contempt, the marching regulations were firmly abide by. The troops' camps were built very well in line with the standards. He also carefully inspected the camps and arranged the guard posts before returning to his camp to rest.

The hot weather made it difficult for Major Ron to fall asleep. Although he was very tired after a day of marching, he still struggled for a long time before falling asleep.

But before he could sleep for a long time, a scream suddenly came from the camp, which woke Major Ron up and caused even greater riots in the camp.
