As long as this flag belongs to Britain, Britain cannot take back Cairo through war.
Moreover, this also greatly reduced the pressure on Long Yan.
Although this city truly belongs to Long Yan, it belongs to Britain in name only.
This is much better than falling into the hands of their mortal enemy France.
Longyan may conflict with Britain in the future, but it will definitely not fight with Longyan now.
Britain also needs to recuperate.
So in Egypt, their only enemy was France.
Thinking of this, Sashar was completely desperate. At this moment, he had no way to compete with Long Yan and Britain in Egypt.
France has only one port city left in Egypt, which is now their only lifeline in Africa.
France's other colonial areas in Africa require this port to transport their resources to the French mainland.
"Quickly, organize the troops and return to our last city. We must not lose it again." Sashar finished these words.
Watching the sun gradually set on the horizon, it's like they are in the current situation in France, where the sun is declining.
"Yes, General!"
At this moment, not long after General Dick left, he heard the sound of artillery fire from Cairo not far away.
"What's going on? If I leave, who will France be fighting?"
Immediately afterwards, the scouts sent out came with shocking news.
"Report to the General, Cairo now belongs to our Britain, and he has raised our British flag."
"What?" General Dick was stunned and couldn't believe his ears.
He has already left Cairo, how could France let go of the dove that comes to his lips?
He took out his binoculars and looked at the bright flag rising over Cairo in disbelief.
It was clearly their British flag, but it was not him who attacked the city, so who else was from Britain?
"What's going on? What just happened?" General Dick asked.
The scouts didn't know either.
In order to find out, General Dick decided to take his troops back and take a look.
He also thought about whether it was France's plan, but it was unlikely. The French troops had gone through two wars without foreign aid, and their strength had been severely weakened in the first time.
After fighting to the death for so long for the second time, the number of troops must have dropped rapidly.
Compared to their British counterparts, France's army is now the worst.
When it was almost dark, General Dick reached the vicinity of Cairo. He looked at the British flag raised on the top of the dilapidated city and saw that the people patrolling the city gate were actually Longyan people. He was suddenly shocked.
Dragon Yan people?
Why are the Long Yan people here? When did our British army become Long Yan people?
"Who are you and why are you pretending to be our British army!" General Dick's men shouted at the city gate.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xuan stood on the top of the city. Except for Britain's old enemy, Nashadir, most of the others standing with him were Longyan people.
"Don't get me wrong, General Dick. We, Longyan, have now declared war on the Franco-Austrian Alliance. Even though we are in Egypt now, we still have an obligation to help our allies."
"I heard that your city was robbed by France, so we helped you fight off the French."
"But don't worry, we have no idea about Cairo. After all, it is still a friendly city." Jiang Xuan said with a smile, pointing to the flag behind him.
"See, it's still your British flag."
When General Dick heard these words, his face suddenly became livid. Everyone knew that the British flag was just a rag in their eyes.
In Egypt, it doesn't matter who flies the flag, but the ownership of this city is not yours, Long Yan's.
"Since you said so, I am here now and ask your Longyan Army to leave the city now."
