573. Free Egypt Monthly Pass)
The world's largest counterfeit banknote manufacturing group is undoubtedly Germany now.
One of Germany's methods to attack enemy countries was to forge a large number of currencies and destroy their economy, and at the same time it could also cost two birds with one stone. Nazi SS member Bernhard Kruger was responsible for forging pounds at the time. He selected hundreds of Jews in the concentration camp and made a total of 600 million pounds of counterfeit currency.
600 million pounds is enough to completely build an economy across a country.
Now Wang Weiyi never thought that one day he would become the maker of counterfeit money.
Not only did he let Bernhard Kruger transport a large amount of fake pounds for himself, he also ordered him to start making fake Egyptian pounds immediately.
All the machinery and equipment are provided by Wang Weiyi.
What surprised Bernhard Kruger was that the machines provided by Marshal Ernst were amazing at the level of sophistication and could be put into production immediately. The fake Egyptian pounds produced were completely at the point of being fake and real.
The first batch of fake money produced in large quantities has been successfully "putted" into Egypt for use
The first step went very smoothly. In just a few days, with the inflow of a large number of counterfeit banknotes, Egypt's economy had begun to experience more intense turmoil.
The rise in prices caused the people's living standards to drop sharply, and more Egyptians began to blame these on their governments and those British.
And General Kanlemu, who had already had a high reputation, has now been regarded as a hero in his mind by more and more Egyptians.
What Wang Weiyi is looking for is the hero in the Egyptian's mind - Kanlemu!
His way of meeting General Kanlemu is very simple, from a baron baron from England - Mr. Toxen and his wife.
Originally, General Kanlemu was not willing to see any British again, but after the repeated requests of "Baron Andrew", General Kanlemu still barely met them and gave them 20 minutes.
Surprisingly, when I sat down, Baron Andrew said, "I heard that you are a descendant of the Egyptian hero Gamestin Ahmed who resisted France. I admire the reputation of the Ahmed family, so I came to visit them."
When General Kanlemu immediately changed his view of the British lady when he heard that the other party mentioned his hero's ancestor Gamastin Ahmed and heard respect from the other party's mouth.
In July 1798, under the leadership of Napoleon, 30,000 French invading troops defeated the Turkish army in Alexandria and Cairo. After entering Cairo, on the one hand, they tried every means to please Cairo Muslims, and on the other hand, they formulated unique administrative and financial measures, and ordered new taxes on private property, litigation and other places, which caused huge losses to Cairo Muslims and aroused dissatisfaction among the people, and then broke out an armed uprising against French colonialism. In this uprising, religious figures played a positive role and influence. The mosque's ministers and rituals publicly called on the people to launch jihad against the tyrannical colonialists; the elders, students and Islamic jurists of the University of Azhar formed several committees leading the uprising in the university.
In October of the same year, when Napoleon's taxation order was issued, the uprising leaders and elders responsible for propaganda and agitating, scholars called on Muslims to hold an anti-French uprising. In the morning, 15,000 uprisingers picked up their weapons and held a massive demonstration, shouting: "God gave Muslims victory." The entire Azhar area became the center of the anti-French struggle. The angry uprisingers rushed to the French army with earthen guns, spears, big swords and sticks, and attacked the French army in various areas of Cairo. The French army, who were suddenly attacked, hurriedly withdrew from Cairo. Napoleon led the main force to come and ordered the bombardment of Azhar and the uprisingers. Due to the advantages of the French army's armed forces, the three-day armed uprising was extinguished, and Cairo fell back to the hands of the French, and the uprising leaders were killed.
The brutal methods of the French army aroused guerrilla wars against aggression in Egypt. The peasants and nomads often attacked French patrols, destroyed French transportation lines, and attacked their quarantine officers and tax collectors. The resistance of Egyptian Muslims trapped most of the French army. In the spring of 1799, Napoleon fled back to France under the embattledness. In March 1800, the French invading army was driven out of Cairo by the second Muslim uprising.
And Gamastin Ahmed is the leader of the two uprisings!
The Ahmed family always believed that they were the saviors of Egypt, but after General Kanlemu was humiliated by the British, he heard praise from another British, and his mood was quite ups and downs.
"Sir Andrew, I've heard your name." Kanlemu's tone was much more polite: "You have received the invitation from His Majesty the King."
"Yes, General." Wang Weiyi nodded: "It's a pity that I was not able to see you at that banquet."
"I am a soldier and I will not attend those boring banquets." General Kanlemu seemed a little contemptuous: "It is a war period. If even the soldiers only think about attending dances all day, then we will eventually lose this war!"
Wang Weiyi exclaimed a somewhat exaggerated admiration: "If everyone in Egypt is like you, then I believe we will drive those Germans out soon."
"The Germans are not hateful, the British are hateful." Kanlemu said this and suddenly remembered that the British were sitting opposite him, and hurriedly added: "Of course, you are a little different from those British."
Wang Weiyi smiled
Kanlemu's tone was still full of anger: "When the French were gone, the British came, will Egypt's suffering never end? After the British occupied Egypt, he was worried that France would divide other territories of the Ottoman Turkish Empire and harm its colonial interests in the Central and Near East. So on the one hand, he claimed that the occupation of Egypt was temporary. Once the order was restored, the British army would retreat; on the other hand, he sent his agents to negotiate in the name of the Consul General. In fact, the British Consul General in Egypt was the top leader of Egypt and the spokesperson of British colonial rule. He ruled Egypt for 25 years and arbitrarily destroyed Egypt's national industry, rewarding foreign countries mainly British investment, implemented a single crop planting system, expanded the cotton planting area, and made Egypt a raw material production place for the British cotton textile industry, which seriously damaged Egypt's interests."
Harvest, this is definitely a big harvest!
Originally, Wang Weiyi just wanted to test Kanlemu's attitude, but he didn't expect that his heart was full of resentment towards the British, and he did not even hide anything from the "Brien" "Baron Andrew".
Then, a series of things you designed may be much easier to handle
"Yes, some of the things my country does are indeed worth discussing." Wang Weiyi expressed his strong agreement with Kanlemu's opinion: "For example, this time, the Allies suffered the worst failure in Alamein, but the Egyptians must not be allowed to bear the responsibility for this failure. Although they are British, I cannot go against my conscience as an upright gentleman."
The feeling of a confidant made Kanlemu completely forget his identity: "Sir Andrew, there are justices and injustices in any country. From a fair standpoint, what do you think the future of Egypt is?"
"I think" Wang Weiyi was about to continue talking, but suddenly looked at the time: "Ah, the 20 minutes we agreed on have arrived. I want to talk to you next time I have the chance."
"No, no." Kanlemu hurriedly said, "Let's go hell for 20 minutes. Sir Andrew, I really want to hear your opinion."
Elina, who was on the side, looked at the "Ramer" pretending to leave, and couldn't help but laugh in her heart.
Wang Weiyi sat down again: "In my opinion, Egypt should not be ruled by France, nor should it be ruled by the British. Egypt is Egyptian Egypt!"
"Egypt is Egypt of the Egyptians!" Kanlemu repeated this sentence.
It's not easy to hear such words from the mouth of a British man
Wang Weiyi immediately said: "The Egyptians once relied on their own strength to drive away the French. So why? I think it is probably not particularly appropriate for me to say these words as an Englishman. Please forgive me, General Kanlemu."
Canlemu did not force it. It was not easy for "Baron Andrew" to say this, and he could not ask for more.
"Did you know, sir, no one has ever said this to me for a long time, especially a foreigner." Kanlemu sighed: "The current situation in Egypt is very worrying, especially after the failure of Alahman, the whole of Egypt has become turbulent. The people's calls for opposing the British and even their own government are getting higher and higher. They urgently need to change this situation."
"They urgently need a leader, just like the Ahmed family led the people of Cairo to defeat the French." Wang Weiyi interrupted Kanlemu's words with a word in his words: "Freedom is always a country and a nation's highest right pursued by him, and no one can deprive him of him. I will not represent any position. I am just a fighter of freedom. General Kanlemu, and free Egypt needs a strong leader!"
"Free Egypt needs a strong leader!" This immediately reached General Kanlemu's heart.
He knew who the person "Sir Andrew" was referring to. But the problem was that the connection between this matter was too great.
He couldn't even think about it. This situation would happen to him one day! (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
