Private Notes
The French invasion of Egypt vastly impacted Europe, Africa, and the middle east. However, Napoleon was not prepared for what he found when he lands in the ancient city of Alexandra.
Napoleon's army has been in the desert for a week. The troops are going mad and dying of thirst but Napoleon's ambition pushes them past the scattered bodies and into Cairo.
While Napoleon has been working on "reforming" a country with political sidesteps, religious catering, and brute force. The British have been searching the seas for Napoleon's fleet. Destroying his vessels and skinking his funding to the bottom of the ocean. Leaving Napoleon and his army stranded in Egypt.
Pauline Foures was really just living her best life!
Cairo has begun their revolt against the French and Napoleon is descending into darkness. He's issued extreme violence to be used, mass executions, and coined the term insurgents as he fights back against the uprising. Meanwhile, a Jihad has been proclaimed against French Troop and the bubonic plague sweeps through his forces. The French Republic of Egypt would not be an option and Napoleon did the only thing he could think of to save himself and his reputation. He left Egypt and his army behind.
Napoleon has left Egypt and General Jean-Baptiste Kléber is left in charge to "finish the job" per Napoleon's instruction. With the British on their heels, the Arabs revolting, and plague running through their ranks. Kléber will try to withdraw from Egypt and the directory will try to prosecute Napoleon for abandoning his post...but Napoleon has a plan.
