Chapter 190 Uprising

The propaganda trend changed quickly:

"Brothers of Alexander (Muslims call brothers), we are the ranks of the German Empire! Don't be afraid, we are not here to conquer Alexander, nor are we enemies with you. Our enemy is Britain. We know that you are bullied and oppressed by Britain, and we are also... They use powerful force to force us to sign unequal treaties and roughly interfere in our internal affairs. We have risen up and resisted, so we are here..."

Strictly speaking, this is not a lie, because Britain, France and other countries have indeed signed the Treaty of Versailles with Germany. The treaty restricts Germany from doing this and that, so Germany and Egypt have common ground and common interests

But this is just the beginning.

Then Qin Chuan asked people to find some "good people and good things".

It is actually not difficult to find "good people and good things". After all, this is a war, and the German army has penetrated five kilometers deep into Alexandria. During the battle, there will always be several examples of German soldiers rescuing the Egyptian people... Moreover, even if there is no, it can be "made" a few of them.

So these "rescued" Egyptian people were soon invited to the speaker to show up and preach:

An old man in his sixties shouted at the microphone in a trembling voice: "Ariya, our house was blown up and it was done by the British. Their artillery was originally aimed at the German tanks, but half of our house was blown up. Your mother and your sister were dead. The British were not responsible for their faults. Instead, the Germans rescued me from the rubble... Do you still have to work hard for the British? I hope you can stand on our side. They (referring to the German army) are good people!"

The old man's son Aria belongs to the 3rd Division of Africa and is now working with the 2nd Division of New Zealand to defend Alexander.

A woman cried and said in a vague words: "Seid, our children were injured by shells... The British used our house as a bunker, and I cried and hoped that they could help us, but the British were unwilling to waste time and medicine on us. When the Germans came, they bandaged the children and gave us food. Come back, Seid..."

This Seyed is a laborer. Since last night, he was urgently requisitioned by the British army to build fortifications near the port.

Then another little boy said in a tender voice to the microphone: "Dad, the British occupied our house and drove us out, we had no place to live. The Germans set up a tent for us..."

Then there are tear-jerking stories, which are on the surface for someone opposite, but in fact they are told to all Egyptians.

There were so many stories that the Egyptians waiting to be told were lined up in a long line, and the German soldiers were still collecting people with stories everywhere and bringing them here.

This propaganda offensive quickly took effect. More than ten minutes later, Qinchuan heard that Egyptians provided detailed maps for the German army, and some of them could point out the locations of the British ambush on the map.

To be precise, it was the New Zealand army, but the Egyptians could not tell whether the New Zealand army or the British army at all, so they both called them "British people".

With the map, things became simple after knowing the ambush of the New Zealand Army.

The tanks still led the infantry forward as usual, and after entering the fire range at the ambush point, they were far away and bombarded.

In contrast, the New Zealand army...their "English crossbow" range was only 100 meters, so they had no way to attack the tanks that were bombarding them from afar, and they had to be passively beaten.

While the German tanks were advancing forward, the speaker kept playing the accusations made by the Egyptian people against the British army.

Then more and more Egyptian people joined the ranks of helping the German army. Soon, many people and African troops spontaneously organized attacks on the New Zealand army. An Egyptian independent underground organization also took the initiative to contact the German army and hoped to cooperate with the German army.

The latter is obviously very important because the New Zealand 2nd Division has prepared to blow up supplies and equipment at the port... Of course, the British army would not let this batch of supplies fall into the hands of the Germans, but they still held a glimmer of hope to block the German attack, so they waited for the last moment to detonate.

There was no problem at all. The possibility of the Germans obtaining supplies when the New Zealand army was ready was extremely small, because that was the issue of detonation or ignition.

The problem is that the outcome is still unknown, and the Egyptian underground organization led the people and laborers to launch an uprising at the port.

What is troublesome is this uprising.

Because these workers seemed to have no weapons, New Zealand soldiers thought they could control the situation, but they did not expect that there were members of underground organizations hidden in them, and suddenly came out to control the ports and warehouses.

Then there was a jubilation... The Egyptian laborers finally turned over and became masters. They brought out boxes of rifles in the warehouse to distribute, and soon armed a militia and rushed over from another direction in Alexandria.

In an instant, the city of Alexander was filled with smoke, gunfire, explosions, and cheers from Egyptian people. The New Zealand army was beaten to flee with its head and nowhere to stay.

So there was no need for the German army to take action. They just had to wait for the Egyptian rebels to occupy and clear the strongholds of the New Zealand Division and then take them over.

Less than an hour ago, the huge Alexandria was completely occupied by the German army, including the port warehouse that they did not originally hope to accept.

This made General Streck very satisfied. He specially called Qin Chuan: "Sergeant, this is what you call the 'power of the masses', right? I saw it today!"

"Yes, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "So what to do next, I think the general must know better than me!"

"Of course!" General Strek replied: "I will fulfill my promise to divide the materials from the port into units to the Egyptians!"

Then General Strek said with some pain: "God, there are at least 50,000 tons of fuel and the equipment and ammunition of ten warehouses. The Egyptians are even useless to get these..."

"Of course they are useful, general!" Qin Chuan replied: "Because this is not only fulfilling the promise, but also causing trouble for the British!"

After a moment of silence, General Streck agreed: "That's right, I should give them more equipment and ammunition!"
