Chapter 1909: Election

At this time, Egypt.

On the Egyptian battlefield.

Nashadier occupied the French army's arsenal.

This undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the French army.

The result of the occupation of this arsenal was as follows.

Due to the fierce offensive of Jiang Xuan's troops and the lack of supplies for the French army, they were forced to retreat once again in order to adjust their supply lines.

And this retreat directly gave Jiang Xuan's troops an opportunity to penetrate deeper.

The French troops were about to be torn apart, and now their defense was already difficult to maintain.

At this time, at the French command headquarters, urgent reports were being sent to the French mainland at the fastest speed.

However, no one paid any attention to these reports.

Dawn deeply felt that the worst situation was about to happen; according to the current war reports, other French Colonial Areas in Africa had also suffered attacks.

Britain, with the help of their powerful maritime advantage, launched a joint attack on the African continent.

Many French colonies fell, and many places became British Colonies.

Now, it is not just that the French Colonial Area in Egypt is about to collapse; even the Empire on the French mainland is on the verge of collapse due to various conflicts.

"Report, General! The Dragon Flame Army led by Jiang Xuan has launched another attack; our troops are unable to hold them off!"

"Requesting reinforcements!"

Dawn violently threw the notebook on the table and shouted angrily, "Reinforcements, reinforcements!"

"Where are there any troops left now!"

"Retreat the front line and adjust the supply lines." No matter how angry Dawn was, he still made the tactical adjustments on the battlefield.

He took a deep breath and stared at the map.

The French Colonial Area in Egypt was constantly expanding, and this area was their most fertile region, possessing coal mines.

This is the most important resource since the Industrial Revolution, bar none.

It can not only provide heat but also drive the Steam Engine, the greatest invention of this century.

Its appearance turned the whole world upside down!

But the Steam Engine must be driven by coal.

If this place were occupied by the Dragon Flame, the collapse of their French Empire would be right before their eyes.

The coal here can be provided to the mainland factories the fastest.

Dawn summoned a soldier and ordered, "Tell Harris to attack Nashadier's troops as soon as possible. I don't ask for them to be completely wiped out, just containing them is enough, so that the French army can have time to adjust the supply lines."

"Yes..."

At this time, at the other end of Egypt.

At the Resistance Army combat command headquarters, after occupying the arsenal, their territory expanded once again.

Now, in this area, the Sugela Tribe and the surrounding tribes have become their rear base camp.

The granary and the arsenal are the main areas they have occupied.

Both of these areas have enough arable land to provide food for the troops.

After obtaining the arsenal, they have acquired enough weapons and manpower, and the current situation has gradually stabilized.

The remnants of the French army were either dead or had fled.

However, the Resistance Army is composed of several units. According to Shawn's previous proposal, their Sugela troops formed an alliance with Nashadier's troops and Henry's Valhalla Army.

And now, it is necessary to elect an Alliance Leader to take charge of this force.

Previously, for joint operations, they chose to let Nashadier, who had rich combat experience, act as the temporary commander-in-chief, and facts have shown that this decision was correct.

Under Nashadier's command, they were able to expand to where they are today.

But now that the situation is gradually stabilizing, this matter has been put on the agenda.

In the conference hall, the thirty people participating in this top-level meeting are all currently

military commanders.

But there are only three candidates for the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces.

They are Nashadier, Shawn, and Henry, respectively.

"Alright, the situation is just like this."

"As for the specific situation, it still depends on the situation."

"I am not canvassing for votes, but I hope everyone will not forget who led us to capture the granary and the arsenal."

"Who it is, is our hero of Egypt."

"I won't be long-winded, everyone start voting."

After Shawn finished speaking, he clapped his hands.

Nashadier and Henry were stunned, looking at Shawn; the two did not speak.

The crowd also looked at Shawn, silent and speechless.

"Why is everyone looking at me? Isn't what I said the truth? Hurry up and vote."

The crowd shrugged and wrote names on the paper.

In fact, everyone knew in their hearts who the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces would be this time.

As these votes were opened one by one, there was no doubt about the names on them.

Thirty people, thirty votes; Nashadier was elected unanimously and became the commander-in-chief of the Resistance Army.

"Congratulations, Nashadier, you have become the commander-in-chief of the Resistance Army."

The crowd clapped; this was the result they had hoped for.

Nashadier was not at all surprised that such a result appeared, but he still had to say: "Gentlemen, I advise you to choose carefully; Harris has been spreading rumors outside that I am a spy sent by the Longyan."

"My rank of general was conferred by the Longyan, a fact I do not deny in the slightest, and my troops can now be considered half a Longyan military force; you must think this through clearly."

"If I were to become the commander-in-chief of this Resistance Army, I hope you can understand clearly what kind of consequences might arise."

The crowd fell into silence.

Nashadier said: "I will give everyone five minutes to rethink whether you wish to change this vote."

"But five minutes passed, and no one proposed changing the outcome of this vote."

Nashadier was slightly stunned; he had not expected such a result.

Shawn stood up and said: "Nashadier, everyone approves of you becoming the commander-in-chief; you cannot escape this."

"Whether it is your character or your ability, the position of commander-in-chief belongs to no one but you; you are a true Warrior," Henry also chimed in to agree.

The people below also said: "Commander-in-chief, you have never hidden the fact that you have received favors from the Longyan, nor have you hidden the fact that you are a general of the Longyan military."

"We all know what the Longyan have done in places like Alexandria Port in Egypt and Cairo."

"To us, the Longyan military is a very good partner, and your character, General, has already proven that even if we tear apart the French colony and take this place back,"

"Egypt will be Egypt's Egypt, not the Longyan's Egypt."

Nashadier nodded; hearing these words, he sighed and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth: "After the French are driven away and Egypt gains independence, I will resign from the title of commander-in-chief."

"The Longyan cannot use me to threaten you."

Nashadier took the badge symbolizing his status as commander-in-chief.

This marked Nashadier becoming the commander-in-chief of the Resistance Army.

Yet at this moment, Nashadier did not know that after Harris received orders from the French, he was plotting a conspiracy against him.

Harris was attempting to destroy the Resistance Army.

And of all this, Nashadier remained unaware.

Everyone was immersed in the brief peace of Egypt.
