Chapter 990 Suez, the Place Where Heroes Are Born (Fourth Update, Please Subscribe)

In late June in Egypt, the breath of summer has quietly arrived.

At six in the morning, the breeze was light but it carried the unique heat of midsummer. On the winding road leading to the Suez Canal, a shepherd stood quietly by the roadside, and the dog beside him seemed to be dissatisfied with the early summer heat and barked wildly.

Suddenly, the shepherd seemed to have caught some subtle sound, he raised his head, his eyes looked across the endless sand dunes, and into the distance. The dog beside him also stopped barking and stared in that direction with his master.

After a while, a huge convoy gradually appeared on the horizon - an armored vehicle led the way, followed by hundreds of jeeps and trucks, loaded with soldiers ready for battle.

Where are they going? The shepherd was puzzled and followed the convoy. In one of the jeeps, there was a general in military uniform, Sadat. He looked firm and solemn, with a sharp gaze, staring straight ahead.

"It's time, today!"

Sadat said this to himself. Although there was nothing but an endless sea of ​​sand ahead, his heart was filled with determination. He could see the ancient canal, the Suez Canal that had been ruthlessly taken away by a contract a hundred years ago.

Today, he will lead the Egyptian army to take back the Suez Canal that belongs to the Egyptian people!
The Suez Canal is the pride of Egypt and the blood of the Egyptian people! A strong emotion surged in Sadat's heart, and he clenched his fists, as if he could feel the call of the canal.

When the convoy approached a sign, Sadat's eyes were instantly attracted. The sign clearly read in English, French and Arabic:

"The area ahead is managed by the Canal Company. No approaching allowed."

“This is the Suez Canal, the canal occupied by the British and French!”

Sadat's voice was low and firm, and as he spoke he turned to the driver, his eyes burning with fire and flashing with unquestionable determination.

"go ahead!"

He ordered decisively, and every word was like a hammer, hitting everyone's heart heavily.

"This is our country, our land, our canals!"

He shouted loudly, and his voice echoed across the empty wilderness, shaking the hearts of every Egyptian soldier.

He took a deep breath, as if to absorb all the anger and dissatisfaction into his body, and then turned it into a roar, bursting out from his chest:
"Today, we will fight for it!"

His voice was firm and powerful.

Sadat's roar ignited the flames in the hearts of the Egyptian soldiers around him. Their expressions became solemn and dignified, and they clenched their weapons tightly, as if they had sensed the coming battle. They understood that today they would fight for the Egyptian people and for the lost Suez Canal.

The convoy soon arrived at the canal company's outpost. The armed guards who originally belonged to the canal company were all shocked when they saw the convoy. Before last year, the arrogant British army was stationed here, but according to the agreement signed two years ago, they had withdrawn from this land. Now, there are only some armed guards who are also Egyptians.

A guard asked cautiously:

"What are you doing? This is the Canal Zone!"

His voice was full of confusion and uneasiness.

Sadat stood up from the jeep, his figure looking so tall and firm in the morning sun, and he answered loudly to the guards:
"This is Egyptian land! My brothers, we are here today to take back the Suez Canal that belongs to the Egyptian people! If you are also Egyptians and our brothers, please get out of the way!"

Facing Sadat's shout, the guards looked at each other. After a brief thought, they raised the barriers and shouted to the soldiers on the convoy:
"Go, brothers! Go and take back our Suez Canal from the hands of foreigners!"

"Take it back! Take back our land!" "Take back our Suez Canal!"

As the convoy slowly passed by, the guards looked at the soldiers passing by and the national flag flying in the air, their expressions excited and proud. They raised their hands one after another, shouting and blessing the soldiers on the vehicles...

Under the morning sun, a special atmosphere permeates this land - that is the determination of the Egyptian people.

Just like this, the Egyptian army swept in quietly like a strong wind in the desert, and a few minutes later, the convoy entered the threshold of the Suez Canal Company. Faced with this sudden storm, the British and French employees in the canal company all showed astonishment.

"You, what are you going to do?"

Some staff members asked in confusion.

Harris, the manager of the Suez Canal Company, also looked at the intruding soldiers with a bewildered look on his face. After learning that the Egyptian army had broken into the canal company, his first reaction was...

"What's going on? Is this a misunderstanding?"

Misunderstand?

This must be a misunderstanding. How did they get here?

Under the gaze of the crowd, Sadat walked in front of them, his eyes firm, as if carrying the expectations of the entire nation.

He declared clearly and forcefully:

"Mr. Harris, I am here to inform you on behalf of the Egyptian government that from this moment on, Egypt will officially take back the Suez Canal."

As the manager of the canal company, Harris was not only surprised, but also full of emotion. He even felt that he was standing in the torrent of history. He took the notice announcing the canal's recovery from Sadat with trembling hands, his eyes flashing with anger and confusion. He protested loudly, his voice full of anger:
"Your behavior is a blatant violation of international law! We have signed an agreement with Egypt!"

"That was the Egyptian government in the past. That agreement was unfair and an unequal treaty! It was the colonialists' exploitation of Egypt!"

Sadat did not back down in the face of the protests. He straightened his chest and spoke with pride and pride in his voice:
"It is the right of the Egyptian people to take back the canal! For nearly a hundred years, the British and French colonists have been like vampires, occupying the canal that belongs to Egypt. They greedily sucked Egypt's blood. Now, the canal will return to the embrace of the Egyptian people!"

His words echoed through the canal company like a bolt of lightning. He continued in a loud voice:

"Now, my brothers, the last symbol of British and French colonial rule in Egypt is completely history!"

The surrounding Egyptian soldiers were in an uproar. They waved their rifles and submachine guns, fired into the sky, and cheered one after another, as if they wanted to release all the long-pent-up anger and joy.

At this moment, Egypt's move to forcibly take over the Suez Canal swept the whole world like a storm. All countries were shocked by Egypt's move. While they were discussing it, President Nasser gave an enthusiastic speech, told all Egyptians the news, and announced that he would use the "income from the Suez Canal to build the Aswan Dam to completely solve the Nile flooding." The Egyptian people were immersed in endless pride and joy, and even the entire Arab world was shocked. They were all conquered by Nasser's feat. Almost overnight, Nasser became a hero for all Arabs. After all, in the past century, there had never been any heroes in Arabia.

For the Arabs, heroes only exist in history. In the past, they were ruled by the Ottomans, and in modern times, they succumbed to the oppression of Western imperialists. But now, suddenly a hero stands up and confronts the world's number one power - at least in the Arab world. In their eyes, Britain is the most powerful in the world. Once upon a time, Britain almost ruled the entire Arabia. Even independent countries such as Jordan, Iraq and Saudi Arabia were obedient to Britain.

Of course, there is also France. France is also powerful. They defeated the powerful Ottoman Empire and caused it to collapse.

Arabs may not have heard of the United States and Russia, but they are deeply impressed by Britain and France. In their view, Britain and France are the most powerful countries in the world and cannot be challenged. But what about now?

But a real hero stood up - Nasser. He was like a legendary warrior. He led his country to challenge Britain and France and took back the Suez Canal from them. At this moment... he was the hero of the entire Arab world!

It's an idol!
