The situation in Egypt has been in a state of turmoil since the end of World War II. The Egyptians, who were already dissatisfied with the British master, increasingly wanted to get rid of this greedy master. Of course, Egypt was not about to strive for independence, because Egypt was nominally independent at this time, but it had a disgusting protection country, the British Empire.

Speaking of Egypt's independence history, we must mention a person named Muhammad Ali. Please note that this Ali is not a boxing man, this is a great man. Why is he said to be very awesome? Because the era when he was born was another era where a huge bull was the most active person, and this person is the well-known Napoleon.

In 1798, because of his brilliant record before, Napoleon was regarded as a threat by the government, so he sent him abroad to be the commander of the Eastern Legion. He also had the subsequent expedition to Egypt. It should be said that the Mamluk cavalry, who was in twilight, was not the opponent of Napoleon, who was in full swing. He was beaten to the point of being beaten and urinated. He took Alexandria without much effort and then fought completely in the Battle of the Pyramids.

The Mamluk cavalry was fooled. Later, Napoleon's Eastern Legion was cheated by Nelson. The failure of the Battle of Abkir can be said to have destined that the Eastern Legion could no longer achieve anything in Egypt. At this time, the governor's government was also shaky because of the unsuccessful battlefield. Seeing the opportunity, Napoleon took his confidant generals to take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the supply of Nelson to Cyprus and fled back to France in a hurry and launched the world-famous Wuyue Coup.

It seems that after saying so much, it basically has nothing to do with Muhammad and Ali. It didn't have much to do with it before, but it happened later. Napoleon took his generals back to France with his butt, but the Eastern Legion could not go back, so when the Eastern Legion was still fighting alone in Egypt.

In 1801, Muhammad Ali, born in Greece, joined the Albanian Legion of Ottoman Turkey and went to Egypt to fight against the French Eastern Legion. This poor soldier was repeatedly promoted because of his bravery in combat and soon became one of the main commanders of the Albanian Legion.

In 1804, the year when Napoleon became emperor, three uprisings broke out in Egypt, dissatisfied with the Mamluk nobles. Muhammad Ali stood on the side of the uprisingers with unique vision, overturned the rule of the Mamluk nobles, and was supported by the Egyptians as Pasha. It is obvious that the Ottoman Turkish Sultan, who had always been the boss of the Mamluk nobles, was dissatisfied with Ali's nonsense. In order to "restore" Egypt's normal order, the Sultan began to attack Ali. However, Ali did have a way of fighting, defeating the Sultan, forcing the Ottoman Turkey to recognize his Pasha status and establish the Muhammad Ali dynasty of Egypt.

Please note that this Ali is really amazing. Egypt was a piece of fat at that time, but it was very coveted. After the French were finished, the British also came in 1807, but Ali defeated the British invasion and maintained Egypt's independence.

After that, Muhammad Ali also embarked on the road of expansion. Since 1811, he has continued to expand outward. From 1811 to 1818, he sent troops to the Arabian Peninsula to suppress the Wahhabi sect's uprising against Turkish rule, and occupied Mecca and Medina. From 1820 to 1822, he invaded Sudan and built Khartoum City. From 1824 to 1827, he participated in the suppression of Greek independence on the Morian Peninsula.

The movement sent troops to West Asia twice between 1831 and 1841, defeated the Ottoman team, captured Palestine, Lebanon, Syria and part of the Ottoman Empire territory, and forced the Ottoman Empire Sultan to sign the Qutashia Agreement, recognizing Muhammad Ali's rule over Egypt, Arabian Peninsula, and Crete, and subscribed Syria to the jurisdiction of Muhammad Ali.

Of course, there is no flower of 100 days. When Muhammad Ali attacked from all sides, he soon became the target of public criticism. Later, with the intervention of Britain, Russia, Austria, Prussia and other countries, he was forced to accept the conditions stipulated in the 1840 London Treaty, withdraw all his troops from abroad, and still belong to the Ottoman Empire, and only retained the hereditary power of the Egyptian Governor and the lifelong jurisdiction of the Sudan region. In his later years, he became depressed and became mentally insane. Muhammad Ali was surrendered to his eldest son Ibrahim (Abbas I).

Ali was considered unfulfilled in his ambitions. After his death, his descendants continued to take over the power of Egypt, but none of them was as awesome as Ali, and they were still worse than that of them. In 1882, Egypt was occupied by Britain and then in 1912, it simply became a British protector.

This situation can be said to have continued until after the victory of World War II, when Britain enjoyed military privileges in Egypt, and basically the descendants of Muhammad Ali were just puppets. The nominal ruler of Egypt in 1947 was Farouk I, but he had no good feelings for the ruler, the Egyptians. Because Farouk I was really just a playboy.

Farouk I was very talented and had learning disabilities when he was a teenager, so he did nothing to learn. Farouk's father, Faud I, sent Farouk to the UK for further studies, hoping that higher education in Western Europe could help this stupid son become a talent. But what Furouk did not expect was that Farouk I was ignorant and used gambling and hunting with noble children as pastime. In addition, this guy was lustful and often hang out with all kinds of women, and had at least an improper relationship with more than a dozen women.

In May 1936, Farouk inherited the throne because of the death of his father Fuade I. At the age of sixteen, he owned $100 million in property, 200 cars and 75,000 acres of fertile land. So much property naturally made the playboy feel excited.

After inheriting the throne, Farouk married the noble lady Fari in 1938. However, after marriage, he still seduced women all day long and publicly advocated that people should not be bound in love and that mistresses should be allowed. There are countless mistresses, such as actresses and famous female talents. So in 1948, Farouk could not bear it anymore and divorced Farouk.

In addition to being lustful, Farouk loves food. He can eat twelve eggs for breakfast, 40 quails for lunch, and drink up to thirty bottles of beer a day. He often locks himself in a dark room and keeps eating chocolate. His weight rises straight to 300 pounds. In addition, this guy is also addicted to gambling and lost $150,000 in 7 hours.

In addition to these quite "normal" hobbies, Farouk also has a very well-known quirk. He learned his skills in prison and learned a lot of thieves. In order to thank the pickpocket, he was relieved of release for the first time. After Farouk finished his studies, he traveled to various dances and evening parties in the palace, stole between VIPs, and used the items he succeeded as his personal collection. His most famous deed was that he successfully stole the pocket watch of British Prime Minister Churchill. Finally, Farouk returned the pocket watch to Churchill because of the British government's solemn protests. Farouk also stole the funeral objects from the king's body in 1944, including swords, belts and medals from the king's body in Egypt. Those who know the inside story jokingly called Farouk a "Cairo thief".

Of course, these are not the fundamental reasons for the fall of Farouk I. How many wise people are in the feudal monarchs? I am afraid that more than 90% of them are mediocre people, and there are so many arrogant, extravagant and lewd guys like Farouk I have not gone. So what is the fundamental reason for the fall of Farouk I? This idiot has shaken the foundation of his own rule.

In previous Middle East wars, Egypt and Syria were well-deserved main forces, and the fundamental force against the Jews at the same time. Once these two countries are not interested in continuing to die with the Jews, the Middle East war will basically not be fought. You can't let Saudi Arabia or the UAE even defend their country and ask mercenary scumbags to face the fierce Jews, right?

At that time, Farouk I deeply offended the Egyptian local military group and had a bad image among the soldiers. Why? Because in order to earn a million pounds of kickbacks, this stupid Farouk I promised to buy war inventory from Britain. In fact, it was nothing to buy war inventory. Didn’t the Jews buy garbage all over the world back then? But the unscrupulous British fire merchants were too cruel and actually sold the old antiques from the World War to Egypt at a high price. They asked the Egyptian army to use this garbage to fight against the Jews.

It is conceivable how angry the military is. Once a ruler is betrayed by his own violent machine, the ending is imaginable.

The disastrous defeat of the First Middle East War greatly shook Farouk's throne, and more and more officers believed that there was hope only by deposing Farouk I's country. It was against this backdrop that Yevgeny arrived in Cairo.

The scenery in the Middle East refreshed Yevgeny. The feeling of seeing things that were only available in books such as pyramids and sphinxes is completely different. Anyway, Yevgeny, who had just arrived in Egypt, rented an American jeep to play around, which made him more like a tourist than an agent.

For ordinary people, this will definitely lose their jobs, but it is nothing to Yevgeny. He did not spend money on public funds. Anyway, his family has money, and a little bit of oil and travel expenses is a drop in the bucket. As for traveling during working hours, he is a reporter anyway, so it is normal to run around. What's more important is that the leaders of kgb want this person to have a good time in Egypt. As long as they don't cause trouble, that's thankful.

Anyway, this month of traveling in Egypt was the most pleasant time in Yevgeny's life. He knew very well that being a traveler was also good. However, God had long been destined to Yevgeny to do something. Just as he was wandering around Egypt, he met several people who changed his work.

The first person is Muhammad Najib, and the second person is Gamal Nasser Muhammad Najib. Many comrades may be unfamiliar with the name of many comrades, but this person is still of some significance in Egyptian history. As a typical Egyptian officer, Najib graduated from the Royal Military Academy of Cairo and has served in the Egyptian army since 1920. What is more special is that in 1927, he entered the University of Fuad I to study law and also studied political economy, and later obtained a doctorate in law.

Why is this experience very special? Because he chose to study law and political economy, he is different from ordinary Egyptian soldiers. He is more sensitive to politics, and the set of political principles he accepted is also more Westernized.

Please note that this is not a good thing. Because in a sense, Egypt's political structure is more oriental, and the so-called orientalization means that power is more concentrated, and only a few people can have decision-making power. In Western terms, it is "poisonous vegetables".

Because Najib is relatively open-minded (or naive), his legal awareness makes him incompatible with his previous comrades. The conflict between the two sides will break out sooner or later, and those friends with military power will teach him how to be a human being in minutes. It has to be said that people who are too idealistic are not suitable for politicians. That is, when Najib was overthrown, the political arena of Egypt was always deformed, and the military has always had super high authority in politics. Once the leader cannot control the military, the ending will be a tragedy.

Back to the point, Najib was already appointed as Brigadier General Brigade Commander at this time because he was very brave in the First Middle East War. However, Najib, who was above, was not particularly convinced. He was a bit idealistic person, and was full of anger about the failure of the war, Farouk I's incompetence and *, especially when he heard the inside story of Farouk I's stopping the kickbacks, the young officer was full of righteous indignation.

In Najib's view, the fundamental reason for the failure of the war is Farouk I's supremacy and incompetence. Only by overthrowing Farouk I's rule can Egypt have hope in the future. But how easy is it to overthrowing Farouk I?

Of course, this does not mean that Farouk I was the will of the people, nor does it mean that this guy has a super high and iron-fisted ruling skills. As mentioned earlier, this guy is just a playboy and a funny guy.

So, in theory, shouldn’t a funny king be easily overthrown? Similar examples in history are that if you can’t list them, why is it different when Farouk I?

The reason is very simple. It is true that Farouk I was a funny guy, but his funny guy's backstage is very tough! Who most hopes that the king of Egypt is a funny guy? It must be a British! For the British Empire, of course, I hope that the dumbest puppets, the better, otherwise how do they control Egypt?

Therefore, the biggest difficulty in overthrowing Farouk I's rule is not in Egypt, but abroad. If the British intervene strongly and support Farouk I, Najib will basically have no chance of winning. On the contrary, if he can do the work of supporting Britain, then it will not be difficult to get Farouk I to step down automatically.

So is the job of the British easy to do?

I'm afraid it's difficult to do. You can imagine how much the British like fools like Farouk I. The existence of this fool greatly protects the interests of Britain in Egypt. If the sober and independent Egyptian elites like Najib came to power, can the British Empire be the same as before?

Pigs know how to choose among elites like Najib and idiots like Farouk I. Although Attlee is much worse than Churchill, how can he make mistakes with such a simple question?

It is here to say that Najib is naive. It is logical that the little things here are not difficult to analyze at all. As a politician, we must first distinguish who is his enemy and who is his friend. Naive Najib actually has hope for the British. He is ready to reason with the British, hoping that Britain can change its position.

This is really stupid and naive, but there are still many such innocence in the world politics, such as Gandhi of India. Of course, when politicians first appeared on the stage of history, they will inevitably be a little naive. The difference is that some people keep up with the times and quickly get rid of their naive period, while others are naive to the end.

Najib is not childish to the end, but he is also quite naive. At this moment, he is full of the will to save the country and the people and thinks too much about how to seize power peacefully, preferably not to over-stimulate Britain, and preferably a glorious revolution similar to Britain without bleeding.

Now, Najib is trying every means to prepare for a glorious revolution. His plan is to force Farouk I to abdicate automatically. Yes, Najib believes that if the regime is directly seized by force, it may attract fierce opposition from the British, but if he can find a way to abdicate automatically, the British may not be able to say anything, right?

So how can we force Farouk I to abdicate? To be honest, it is quite difficult. That ruler is willing to automatically give up his power? Especially for the debauchery like Farouk, people of this kind are probably more keen on the power in their hands, and they expect them to abdicate automatically. Hehe, the sows will climb trees.

Najib believes that it is unrealistic to expect Farouk I to discover his conscience. For the sake of the present, he can only force this guy to abdicate, and of course he cannot force him by force. In that case, the British will definitely interfere and have to think of a peaceful way to force him.

Peaceful persecution sounds so contradictory. Peace means gentle means, while persecution requires tough means. Translated as gentle and tough, well, what's the thing!

But Najib thought that this gentle and toughness was very good. What was the specific method? That was to shake out all the scandals of Farouk I, and he was so embarrassed that he left automatically.

Speaking of which, Farouk I was full of scandals, and it was not uncommon for the people to talk about it. If you think about it, even the people would not consider it. Naturally, His Majesty the King would take it more seriously. So it is unrealistic to expect those scandals and scandals to knock down Farouk I. So is there any more powerful scandals?

Hehe, Najib happens to know such a person... (To be continued.)
