Chapter 12
1911-1918
When I left you, Persia had just been reduced to one province, the French had lost to the Caliphate, and the world seemed to be in the palm of our hand. Let’s see if it keeps up.
The session began with a return to our wars on the Italian Peninsula:
Sicily quickly fell to a small Egyptian force, and with luck, our peace treaty with the Pope had just expired. Fortunately for us, before we could declare war, Sicily formed an alliance with the Papal States! And just after we had just defeated them!
How incredibly convenient:
Naples and Rome are burned by the troops of the Caliphate:
And finally, the Pope becomes a vassal of the Caliph, and Naples falls into Egyptian hands:
Next, we turned or sights to another old enemy of the Caliph:
The invasion of Constantinople:
The Ottomans offer Bosnia—their last remaining territory—for peace:
All the while, Egyptian troops had boarded steamer transports and had made their way into position for another grand conflict:
Egyptian troops make simultaneous landings on several East Indian islands:
And General Ismail leads his army into the Netherlands proper:
Meanwhile, the French front holds steady:
Egyptian troops push back the Dutch from the beach and strike inland while at the same time, Egyptian troops under the command of General Abaza moves on Paris:
But then, for the second time in as many wars, the French break through the Egyptian center:
With the Caliphal army guarding Iberia, the Balkans, Italy, Persia, and invading Indonesia and the Netherlands, there just aren’t enough men to hold the front.
Rejecting Dutch peace proposals for the moment, Egypt sends troops on a daring amphibious landing at Dunkerque to relieve General Abaza’s besieged Paris army:
Finally, reinforcements are brought up from Iberia and reinforced from new recruits, and France sues for peace:
French peace is accepted, and so is the new peace proposal from the Netherlands:
After this war, Egypt again declared its intentions against Spain:
With Egyptian troops only just off of French soil, the invasion began anew:
Meanwhile, the last vestiges of the once mighty Spanish empire fell before waves of Egyptian troops:
Soon after, Spain was eliminated from the face of the earth:
The French, meanwhile, continued to cause problems:
But at last, having angered the Caliph, France was shown no mercy, and every remaining division in France was encircled and destroyed. The remains of the once proud French army were holed up at Dunkerque and annihilated:
We demanded peace from France on our own terms, leaving them with nothing but Paris, though they were allowed to keep most of their colonies.
Following this conflict, and eager for continued revenge against the hated French, Egypt declared war against Sardinia Piedmont, and France, ever haughty, joined in:
Of course, with no French soldiers remaining, the undefended French capital fell quickly, and for the third time in as many years, the flag of Egypt flew from the Eiffel Tower:
Meanwhile, Egypt launched naval invasions of Crete and Cyprus, the islands it had sold to France in 1838 in order to finance its expansion:
Finally, France capitulated, offering not only Crete and Cyprus, but most of their colonies as well:
Meanwhile, Egypt made mince meat of the undefended Sardinians:
The Sardinians accepted a generous peace—all their lands were to be placed under our control.
During the brief moments of peace, Egypt made radical expansions to its industry and infrastructure:
Following this, Egypt entered into war with Portugal:
Lisbon was invaded by a large Egyptian army, moving in from all directions:
Not giving their British allies time to do any damage, Portugal sued for peace:
In the meantime, Egypt had gone to war with and annexed three Indonesian minors:
Finally, the Caliph’s eyes turned to Central Asia, and the illegitimate Prussian holdings there.
War was declared:
The invasion of Prussian Asia commenced:
While at the same time, Prussia Europe was invaded by sea:
With their tiny military power of 27, Prussia was no match for the Egyptian forces:
They quickly offered peace:
The last act of this session was a war against Persia—or rather Tehran, for that was all that remained:
Kashmir was annexed, and soon after, Persia—the once mighty and feared nation, was totally absorbed into the lands of the Caliph:
And so it was ended.
