    The largest counterfeit banknote manufacturing group in the world is undoubtedly Germany.

    ¡°One of Germany¡¯s means of attacking enemy countries is to counterfeit the country¡¯s currency in large quantities, destroying their economy, and at the same time allowing it to spend its own money, killing two birds with one stone.  Nazi SS member Bernhard Kluge was responsible for counterfeiting pounds at the time. He selected hundreds of Jews in the concentration camp and produced a total of 600 million pounds in counterfeit currency.

    ¡°600 million pounds is enough to completely transform a country¡¯s economy.

    And now Wang Weiyi never thought that one day he would become a counterfeit banknote maker.

    Not only did he ask Bernhard Kruger to transport a large amount of counterfeit pounds to him, but he also ordered him to immediately start making counterfeit Egyptian pounds.

    All machinery and equipment are provided by Wang Weiyi.

    What surprised Bernhard Kluge was that the machines provided by Marshal Ernst were so sophisticated that they could be put into production immediately.  The fake Egyptian pounds that were manufactured were completely fake and looked like the real ones.

    The first batch of mass-produced counterfeit banknotes has been successfully "released" for use in Egypt

    The first step went very smoothly, but within a few days, with the inflow of a large amount of counterfeit money, Egypt's economy began to experience more intense turbulence.

    Rising prices have caused a sharp decline in people's living standards, and more Egyptians have begun to blame their own government and the British.

    And the story of General Canlemu fighting against the British for Egypt's rights has spread out somehow. General Canlemu, who already had a high reputation, is now beginning to be regarded as one of his own by more and more Egyptians.  The hero in my heart

    What Wang Weiyi is looking for is the hero in the eyes of the Egyptians - Kanlemu!

    And the way he met General Canlemu was very simple. Mr. and Mrs. Toxon, a baron from the United Kingdom.

    Originally, General Canlemu was unwilling to see any British people at all, but after repeated requests from "Baron Andrew", General Canlemu reluctantly met them and gave them 20 minutes.

    Unexpectedly, when he sat down, "Baron Andrew" opened his mouth and said, "I heard that you are a descendant of Gamestin Ahmed, the Egyptian hero who resisted France. I admire the reputation of the Ahmed family."  , so I came here specifically to visit.¡±

    Once he heard that the other party actually mentioned the ancestor of his hero, Gamestin Ahmed, and heard the respect from the other party, General Kanlemu immediately changed his view of the British ladies.

    In July 1798, 30,000 French invaders, led by Napoleon, defeated the Turkish troops stationed in Alexandria and Cairo.  After entering Cairo, on the one hand, he did everything possible to please the Muslims of Cairo, and on the other hand, he formulated ingenious administrative and financial measures, ordering new taxes on private property, lawsuits and such things as bathhouses, hotels, cafes, mills, oil mills and residences.  Cairo Muslims suffered huge losses and aroused people's dissatisfaction, and an armed uprising broke out by Cairo Muslims against French colonialism.  In this uprising, religious figures played an active role and influence.  The imams and muezzins of the mosques publicly called on the people to launch jihad against the tyrannical colonialists; the elders, students and Islamic jurists of Al-Azhar University formed several committees within the university to lead the uprising.

    In October of the same year, as soon as Napoleon¡¯s tax order was issued, the uprising leaders and the elders and scholars responsible for propaganda and agitation called on Muslims to stage an anti-French uprising.  In the early morning, 15,000 rebels took up arms and held a massive demonstration, shouting: "God gives victory to the Muslims." The entire Al-Azhar district became the center of the anti-French struggle.  The angry rebels, armed with guns, spears, machetes and clubs, pounced on the French army and attacked the French army in various areas of Cairo.  The French army, which was suddenly attacked, hurriedly withdrew from Cairo.  After hearing the news, Napoleon came with the main force and ordered the bombardment of Al-Azhar and the rebels.  Due to the superiority of the French army in arms, the armed uprising that lasted for three days was extinguished. Cairo fell into the hands of the French again, and the leaders of the uprising were massacred.

    The brutal methods of the French army inspired guerrilla wars against aggression across Egypt.  Troops of farmers and nomads often attacked French patrols, disrupted French lines of communication, and attacked their quartermasters and tax collectors.  Resistance by Egyptian Muslims trapped most of the French army.  In the spring of 1799, Napoleon fled back to France surrounded by enemies.  In March 1800, the French invading army was driven out of Cairo by the second Muslim uprising.

    And Gamestin Ahmed was 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 man. His mood fluctuated greatly.

    "Sir Andrew??, I've heard your name.  Kanlemu's tone was much more polite: "You have been invited by His Majesty the King."  "

    "Yes, General." Wang Weiyi nodded: "It's a pity that I couldn't see you at that banquet."

    "I am a soldier, and I will not go to those boring banquets." General Kanlemu looked a little disdainful: "Now is a war period. If even soldiers only think about attending dance parties all day long, then we will eventually lose  This war!"

    Wang Weiyi let out a somewhat exaggerated admiration: "If everyone in Egypt was like you, then I believe we will drive out those Germans soon."

    "The Germans are not hateful, it is the British who are hateful." Kanlemu said this, and suddenly remembered that the person sitting opposite him was also a British man, and hurriedly added: "Of course, you are a little different from those British."

    Wang Weiyi smiled

    Canlemu's tone was still full of annoyance: "With the French gone and the British coming, will Egypt's suffering never end? After occupying Egypt, the British were worried that France and Russia would follow suit and carve up other territories of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, damaging their own influence in China.  Colonial interests in the Near East, on the one hand, they declared that the occupation of Egypt was temporary and that the British troops would withdraw once order was restored; on the other hand, they sent their agents to negotiate in the name of the Consul General. In fact, the British Consul General in Egypt, Bellin, was.  Egypt's dictator and spokesman of British colonial rule. He ruled Egypt for 25 years, arbitrarily destroyed Egypt's national industry, rewarded foreign investment, mainly British, promoted a single-crop planting system, expanded cotton planting area, and made Egypt a British cotton textile industry.  The origin of raw materials has seriously damaged Egypt¡¯s interests.¡±

    Harvest, this is definitely a big harvest!

    Originally, Wang Weiyi just wanted to test Canlemu's attitude, but he didn't expect that he was full of resentment against the British, and he didn't even hide anything in front of the "British" called "Baron Andrew".

    Then, a series of things designed by yourself may be much easier to handle

    "Yes, some things my country has done are indeed worthy of discussion." Wang Weiyi expressed his agreement with Kanlemu: "For example, this time, the Allied forces suffered the most disastrous defeat in El Alamein, but they were absolutely  The Egyptians cannot be held responsible for this failure, but I cannot violate my conscience as an upright gentleman."

    The feeling of being a confidant made Kanlemu completely forget the identity of the other party: "Sir Andrew, there are just and unjust people in any country. From a just standpoint, what do you think the future of Egypt is?"

    "I think" Wang Weiyi was about to continue, when he suddenly looked at the time: "Ah, the 20 minutes we agreed are up, I think I can talk to you next time I have a chance."

    "No, no." Canlemu said hastily: "To hell with 20 minutes. Sir Andrew, I very much want to hear your opinion."

    Elena on the side watched "Wanderer" pretending to leave, and couldn't help laughing in her heart

    Wang Weiyi then sat down again: "In my opinion, Egypt should not be ruled by the French, nor should it be ruled by the British. Egypt is the Egypt of the Egyptians!"

    ¡°Egypt is the Egypt of Egyptians!¡± Kanlemu repeated these words in a murmur.

    It¡¯s not easy to hear such words from an Englishman.

    Wang Weiyi then said: "The Egyptians once relied on their own strength to drive away the French, so why? I think it is not particularly appropriate for me to say these words as a British person. Please forgive me, General Canlemu."

    Canlemu did not force it. It was already quite difficult for "Baron Andrew" to be able to say this, and he could not ask for more.

    "You know, Sir, no one has said anything like 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 El Alamein.  Egypt has become turbulent, and the people's voices against the British and even against their own government are getting louder and louder. They urgently need to change this situation."

    "They urgently need a leader, just like when the Ahmed family led the people of Cairo to defeat the French." Wang Weiyi interrupted Kanlemu's words thoughtfully: "Freedom is always the highest pursuit of a country and a nation.  No one can take away Shang¡¯s rights. I will not represent any position, I am just a freedom fighter, General Kanlemo, and a free Egypt needs a strong leader!¡±

    ¡°A free Egypt needs a strong leader!¡± These words immediately reached General Canlemo¡¯s heart.

    He knew who ¡°Sir Andrew¡± was referring towho is it.  But the problem is that the connection between this matter is too great.

    He didn¡¯t even dare to think that this situation would happen to him one day!  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
