"Egyptian warriors, the current Khedive Abbas II is colluding with the infidels and betraying Egypt's interests. He is no longer suitable to be the ruler of Egypt. We must stand up bravely and resist his rule.
Tyranny, overthrow his brutal rule, and allow the entire navy to bathe in the glory of God again!" In Ismailia, Hussein.
Kamil was giving loud instructions to tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Egyptian Army's Second Division. This division was the first division he bribed. From low-level officers to division commanders, almost everyone was loyal to him. Of course, he also paid for it.
He paid a huge price, which he would not have been able to afford if it had not been for the support of Britain and France.
"Now, I officially announce that I will march to Cairo and overthrow the rule of Abbas II. I guarantee everyone that after success, everyone will be promoted and receive a lot of bonuses!" Hussein.
Camille said loudly.
"Long live! Long live! March to Cairo and overthrow Abbas's rule!" the Egyptian soldiers, whose eyes were red with excitement from the rewards, shouted one after another.
At nine o'clock in the morning on December 6, the Second Division of the Egyptian Army set off from Ismailia and marched towards Cairo. In addition to this division, Hussein.
The other four divisions controlled by Kamil, the 4th, 5th, 8th and 9th divisions of the Egyptian Army also began to march towards Cairo. As for the other 6th and 7th divisions, they were under Hussein.
After Kamil spent a lot of money, they had promised to remain neutral in this coup.
Abbas II in Cairo learned that Hussein.
After Kamil launched the coup, he immediately gave a speech to the people of Cairo at the palace. He refuted Hussein.
Kamil's point of view, declared Hussein.
Kamil is a despicable villain who deliberately wants to usurp his rule. At the same time, he calls on all Egyptians to resist Hussein.
Kamil, defend Cairo.
In addition, Abbas II ordered the palace guards to dispatch and arrest those who remained in Cairo but had been captured by Hussein.
The senior government officials bribed by Kamil also ordered the first division loyal to him to prepare for battle, and also ordered Alexander's third division to return to Cairo immediately.
However, Alexander is two hundred kilometers away from Cairo, and Hussein.
Kamil's divisions were only more than a hundred kilometers away from Cairo. When they arrived, Hussein.
Kamil had already launched an attack on Cairo.
"General Liu, Hussein Kamil has launched a military coup. When will your army arrive?" Abbas II asked with some worry. Finally, his first division and the palace guards joined forces.
There were only fifteen thousand people. And Hussein.
The army commanded by Kamil has five divisions with more than 60,000 men. When the more than 10,000 men from the third division could not arrive in time, he had to face a huge disadvantage in terms of military strength!
"Your Excellency Khedive, I have reported the relevant situation to the Chinese Army Command in Saudi Arabia. However, one of our Marine Divisions is on the Red Sea and will take about four days to arrive. The other division can be reached in
An attack on the canal can be launched within two days, but it will not be able to rescue Cairo. Therefore, you and your army must last for about a week!" Major General Liu Ming said.
Abbas II's expression suddenly changed. To persist for a week was not easy for the army he currently controlled. However, he also knew that this was his last chance. If Cairo was lost, he
He will lose his righteousness. Even if he can finally regain control of Egypt with the help of China, his dominance will not be stable.
"General Liu, please rest assured, I will definitely hold on until the Chinese reinforcements arrive!" Abbas II said firmly. He has decided to try his best. Although Hussein.
Kamil has more troops, but they are basically bought with money. It is difficult to say how much combat power is left. Moreover, it can be defeated by Hussein.
If Kamil bribes him, he can also be bribed by him. He may not have a chance to hold Cairo!
The Chinese military headquarters in Saudi Arabia in Riyadh learned that Hussein.
After Kamil had launched a coup, he immediately issued an order to the fleet on the Red Sea to rush to the Suez Canal. At the same time, he also issued an order to the 8th Marine Division to launch an attack on the Suez Canal two days later. Fortunately, the Navy
The 8th Marine Division has already begun preparations. Otherwise, it would take a lot of time just to rush from Jeddah Port to the Suez Canal!
On December 7, the main two regiments of the 8th Marine Division had arrived in Aqaba. Crossing the border to the west is Eilat, Egypt. However, Egypt does not have troops stationed here, only some police.
The canal zone of the Suez Canal belongs to the defense zone of the British and French coalition forces. Therefore, Egypt does not have many troops stationed in the Sinai Peninsula east of the canal.
On December 8, at 8:30 in the morning, the boots of the Chinese Marine Corps soldiers crossed the dividing line between Egypt and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and began to attack the Suez Canal. The British army had already noticed that the Chinese army was

A British infantry division and a French infantry brigade were deployed east of the Suez Canal, with a total strength of more than 18,000 people. Another division was deployed in the city of Suez at the southern end of the Suez Canal. During the Middle East war, the Chinese army also took the lead
Logged in from here!
Although the 8th Marine Division launched the attack first, it would still take several days to cross the two hundred kilometers. This made the 9th Marine Division, which landed by boat, launch an attack on the British and French troops before them.
Allied attack.
On December 10, a Qin-class battleship Prince Fusu of the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet and a heavy cruiser Liaohe escorted the 9th Marine Division with two light cruisers and four destroyers.
Arrived at Suez. 'Prince Fusu', battleship and
The heavy cruiser Liaohe launched a fierce bombardment of the British position in Suez City. Originally, the British planned to build a fortress in Suez City, but this was strongly opposed by other countries. All countries refused to militarize the Suez Canal.
,this
It will pose a serious threat to ships from all countries passing through the Suez Canal. China has even declared that if the United Kingdom wants to build a fortress in the city of Suez, China will launch an attack on the Suez Canal as soon as possible, which makes the British side have no choice but to give up!
The British defensive positions were helpless in the face of the fierce bombardment from battleships and heavy cruisers. After paying thousands of casualties, the British commander had to order the troops to withdraw from the positions, leaving the Chinese navy and land forces to
The team logs in.
After the Chinese Marines easily landed, they launched an attack on the British army. The British army pinned their hopes of stopping the Chinese army in urban street fighting. However, facing the well-trained Chinese army, their hopes were doomed.
Only in vain. Many barricades and bunkers built by the British army in the city of Suez were destroyed by the Chinese navy's artillery fire.
The Egyptians have almost fled, so the Chinese navy does not need to worry at all. It will not feel bad even if the entire city of Suez is blown into ruins. Under such circumstances, the British army's blockade appears to be so fragile. Their
The barricades were easily blown up by the fierce artillery fire, and the British soldiers hiding in the houses on both sides of the streets were buried alive inside.
In less than a day, the 9th Marine Division drove the British troops out of the city of Suez. The British troops, who had lost thousands of people, retreated northward in embarrassment.
When the Chinese army landed in Suez, the war in Cairo had already begun on October 9. Hussein.
Kamil led his army in three days to cover a hundred kilometers and launched an attack on Cairo. The First Division of the Egyptian Army and the Royal Palace Guards guarding Cairo received the guarantee from Abbas II and crushed Hussein.
because.
After Kamil's military coup, each of them was able to receive generous rewards, which made these soldiers work very hard when fighting. Hussein.
Kamil led his army to attack fiercely for a day, but suffered heavy losses. There was no way to break through Cairo's defenses.
On December 10, the news that Chinese marines landed in Suez and defeated the British army reached Cairo, which greatly encouraged Abbas II and the troops loyal to him. And Hussein.
Kamil's confidence was somewhat lacking. If the British and French forces were defeated, it would be impossible for him to overthrow the rule of Abbas II. On this day, the Egyptian Army's Third Division also rushed back to Cairo. With one more division
, the pressure on Abbas II was reduced a lot. At the same time, he also sent people to contact the neutral Sixth Division and Seventh Division. After some coercion and inducement, the Egyptian Army's Sixth Division and Seventh Division finally decided to continue
Loyal to Abbas II, loyal to Hussein.
Kamil's army launched an attack. For a time, the crisis in Cairo was completely resolved.
In the Suez Canal Zone, the Chinese Marine Corps also launched a final attack on the British and French coalition forces. After occupying the city of Suez, the Chinese Navy warships went north along the canal and continued to attack the British troops. The 9th Marine Division dispatched
A regiment of troops continued to pursue the British army. The main force of the 9th Marine Division crossed the Suez Canal and attacked the British and French forces on the east side of the canal.
On December 12, the Eighth Marine Division also rushed to the battlefield. Under the attack of the two divisions, the British and French coalition forces were severely defeated. By December 17, the British and French coalition forces were completely wiped out, and the entire Suez Canal was completely destroyed.
came under the control of the Chinese army. After wiping out the British and French forces, the Chinese Marine Corps sent troops to help Abbas II quell the chaos. Seeing that the situation was over, Hussein.
Kamil had no choice but to abandon his army and fled Egypt to England with the commanders of the British and French coalition forces!
