With the resignation of Prime Minister Felix, Austrian politics also faced a reshuffle, and Franz appointed Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Exchequer Carl as prime minister.

In fact, this is just an overapplication. Carl Ludwig von Brooke was born during the Anti-French War and was only seven or eight years younger than Felix.

Against the background of stability above everything else, Franz did not make any trouble. He followed the government's operation rules and the Prime Minister abdicated ahead of schedule, and ranked second in the second place as the Minister of Finance.

The reorganization of the cabinet will have to wait until the term of office is over, which is in 1889. From the perspective of time, Carl's term of office as the interim prime minister is not short.

When this term ends, Carl is almost at the age of retirement, just to make room for those behind him.

Austria has not changed significantly during the political reshuffle, and the power transfer is going very smoothly, which has disappointed many people very much.

...

Paris, Napoleon IV, who closely monitored the situation in Austria, was one of the disappointments.

Whether they want to or not, Fa'ao has become each other's biggest competitors on the continent.

Although both governments are maintaining restraint on the outside, neither country has stabbed each other in secret.

Especially after the Paris Revolution, France, whose strength declined, gradually fell into a disadvantage in international competition.

In order to stabilize the situation, the Paris government was forced to enter the strategic defensive stage, and Napoleon IV's resentment towards Austria became stronger.

Even if he watches the fun, he still can't do it if he wants to interfere in the change of Austria's power.

...

"Good news, your majesty!"

The voice arrived before the man was still dozens of meters away. Looking at the foreign minister with a happy face, Napoleon IV's depressed mood was also dispelled a lot.

"Speak up, what good news is there?"

Foreign Minister Terence Bulkin handed a thin document to Napoleon IV and replied happily: "The Annan War is over.

We got everything we wanted at the negotiating table, which was the contract sent back by the Minister to the Far East.”

After hearing this answer, Napoleon IV understood why Terence Bulkin was so excited.

Things that were not obtained on the battlefield were obtained at the negotiating table, which was completely a miracle in diplomatic history.

With this achievement, Terence Bulkin is fully qualified to compete for the next French Prime Minister.

This was a change after the Paris Revolution. Napoleon IV needed a person who buffered the contradictions. After a lot of psychological struggle, he decided to restore the prime minister system.

After looking through the content of the contract, Napoleon IV said: "This is indeed good news. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs did a great job!"

This is the truth, and the gains from the treaty far exceeded his expectations. You should know that at the beginning, he just wanted to end the war with a decent amount.

Since the Paris Revolution, France, which has a great family and a wealthy country, began to decline, and the multi-line expedition has exceeded the French government's ability to withstand it.

Annan is far less important than Egypt. At the moment of negotiations, the French government decided to temporarily abandon the plan to annex Annan.

The world is so wonderful. When you can't get what you desire and decide to give up, he comes back.

Happy times are always short. Just when everyone is happy, Army Secretary Luskinia Hafez reported with a pale face: "Sorry, everyone, interrupting everyone's good mood.

Just now, news came from Egypt that the army led by Governor Adolf finally defeated the main force of the rebels in the Aswan area two days ago after great hardships."

Defeating the main force of the rebels is obviously good news? Everyone was confused and looked at Luskigna Hafez in confusion waiting for the following text.

"However, just as the battle was won, the despicable enemy blew upstream dams, and under the impact of the flood, the rebel army suffered heavy losses."

When everyone heard this answer, their faces looked very beautiful, angry, confused... and all of them were all over the place.

After a moment of laughing at the heavy news, Napoleon IV asked: "How much is the specific loss?"

Army Secretary Luskinia Hafez, with a sad face, pressed his voice to the lowest level and replied: "As of yesterday afternoon, there were less than 6,000 officers and soldiers returning to the establishment, and two-thirds of them were Egyptians.

Governor Adolf estimated that the troops who could return to the establishment should be around 10,000, and the regular army would have about 4,000 people.

Almost all the supplies carried by the army were lost, and more than 80% of the weapons and equipment were lost, especially the artillery.

In order to avoid unnecessary losses, Governor Adolf is leading his troops to withdraw back to Cairo.

Egypt is now at its most dangerous moment, and the colonial government hopes to send troops to reinforce the country.”

There was no way, and no one knew that the rebels would pit their own people. The main force was fighting against the French, but the dam was blown upstream.

There were no wireless telegraphs these days, and the rebels were not able to lay out wires telegraphs or telephones. They encountered a flood as soon as the decisive battle ended.

From the perspective of time, the rebels blew up the dam during the decisive battle. This means that from the beginning, the main forces of the rebels who appeared on the battlefield were abandoned.

What is even more sad is that this "Aswan Dam" was built by the French government.

Egypt is an important part of the development of France and Africa. In order to protect the downstream areas from flood threats and preserve the essence of the delta.

In 1875, after the French government decided to restart the African development plan, the first batch of projects to be launched include the Aswan Dam, which was 23 years earlier than the British in the original time and space construction.

The angry Napoleon IV tore up the documents and roared: "Why were you trapped? Is Adolf's mind full of shit?"

As a general with rich combat experience, you should not ignore the upstream dam. Under normal circumstances, even if you are marching, you should be vigilant.

Army Secretary Luskinia Hafez explained: "The colonial government did receive news of the water attack that the rebels were preparing to adopt.

However, it was not to blow up the Aswan Dam, but to blow up an upper peak along the coast in the Isna area, which was planned to break up a river, causing the Nile River to divert its route to impact the downstream delta.

In fact, the Aswan Dam is still a long way from the Delta, and it is not the flood season yet, and the impact of blowing up here on the downstream is also very limited.

If the decisive battle location chosen by the rebels was not in a low-lying area, and luring the rebel army to go over and fight to the decisive battle. Even if the dam was blown up, it would not have caused us such great losses.

According to the information sent back from the front line, the rebels' losses are at least three times that of ours. No one knows that the rebels will use the main force as bait, so..."

Luskinia Hafez understood Governor Adolf. This was no longer a trick, and the enemy was clearly a lunatic.

In an era of inconvenience in communication, the main force was used as bait. If the French army was not deceived and the dam was blown upstream and the tactic of death was turned into one-way suicide.

There is no reality if, although the number of rebels may have lost more, they still won strategically.

The rebel army suffered heavy losses. In a short period of time, the Egyptian region was no longer able to organize a second rebel army and could only wait for local reinforcements.

Within at least half a month, the rebels can unscrupulously expand their territory and mobilize more people to participate in the uprising.

With this result, the rebels were enough to make the two financial leaders behind them look at each other with admiration and invest more strength to support them.

Napoleon IV interrupted: "Don't say it anymore. No matter how many reasons you have, failure is failure.

When did the French Army fall to the point of making excuses for failure?”

Faced with the outbreak of the emperor, Luskinia Hafez decisively chose to follow his heart. Deep in his heart, he had already observed a silence for Governor Adolf.

If this kind of thing is done, God will be able to escape unscrupulously. If it weren't for the fact that changing generals at the last minute was a taboo in military strategists, Adolf would have set off to return home now and go to the military court to reason.

After calming down for a while, Napoleon IV said slowly: "The Army Department has re-established its plan to counter-insurgency, and I don't want to hear any news of failure again.

Remember to draw a capable general from China and go to Egypt to preside over the overall situation of quelling the rebellion. There is no need to go for a fool like Adolf."

A defeated general is a defeated general. No matter how many reasons you have, the fact of defeat cannot be concealed.

He resisted not immediately holding Governor Adolf accountable, and this was already Napoleon IV who took the overall situation into consideration.

Army Secretary Luskinia Hafez hurriedly promised: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. This time the Army will select people carefully and there will be no more problems."
