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:

egypt_two_sicilies_war.jpg


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:

italy_war.jpg


Naples and Rome are burned by the troops of the Caliphate:

italy_burns.jpg


And finally, the Pope becomes a vassal of the Caliph, and Naples falls into Egyptian hands:

italian_annexations.jpg


Next, we turned or sights to another old enemy of the Caliph:

egypt_oe_war.jpg


The invasion of Constantinople:

istanbul_invasion.jpg


The Ottomans offer Bosnia—their last remaining territory—for peace:

ottoman_peace.jpg


All the while, Egyptian troops had boarded steamer transports and had made their way into position for another grand conflict:

egypt_dutch_french_war.jpg


Egyptian troops make simultaneous landings on several East Indian islands:

indonesia_invasion.jpg


And General Ismail leads his army into the Netherlands proper:

dutch_invasion.jpg


Meanwhile, the French front holds steady:

french_border_holds.jpg


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:

paris_netherlands.jpg


But then, for the second time in as many wars, the French break through the Egyptian center:

french_push_back.jpg


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:

dunkerque_landing.jpg


Finally, reinforcements are brought up from Iberia and reinforced from new recruits, and France sues for peace:

french_peace.jpg


French peace is accepted, and so is the new peace proposal from the Netherlands:

dutch_peace_offer.jpg


After this war, Egypt again declared its intentions against Spain:

egypt_spain_france_war.jpg


With Egyptian troops only just off of French soil, the invasion began anew:

first_french_invasion.jpg


Meanwhile, the last vestiges of the once mighty Spanish empire fell before waves of Egyptian troops:

spain_owned.jpg


Soon after, Spain was eliminated from the face of the earth:

spanish_annexation.jpg


The French, meanwhile, continued to cause problems:

france_crushed.jpg


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:

dunkerque.jpg


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:

egypt_sp_france_war.jpg


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:

final_paris_invasion.jpg


Meanwhile, Egypt launched naval invasions of Crete and Cyprus, the islands it had sold to France in 1838 in order to finance its expansion:

crete_invasion.jpg


Finally, France capitulated, offering not only Crete and Cyprus, but most of their colonies as well:

second_france_peace.jpg


Meanwhile, Egypt made mince meat of the undefended Sardinians:

sardinia_invasion.jpg


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:

infrastructure_1.jpg


infrastructure_2.jpg


Following this, Egypt entered into war with Portugal:

portugal_uk_egypt_war.jpg


Lisbon was invaded by a large Egyptian army, moving in from all directions:

lisbon_owned.jpg


Not giving their British allies time to do any damage, Portugal sued for peace:

portuguese_peace.jpg


In the meantime, Egypt had gone to war with and annexed three Indonesian minors:

three_colonial_wars.jpg


Finally, the Caliph’s eyes turned to Central Asia, and the illegitimate Prussian holdings there.

War was declared:

prussia_war_1.jpg


The invasion of Prussian Asia commenced:

prussia_war_3.jpg


While at the same time, Prussia Europe was invaded by sea:

prussia_war_2.jpg


With their tiny military power of 27, Prussia was no match for the Egyptian forces:

prussia_war_4.jpg


They quickly offered peace:

prussia_peace.jpg


The last act of this session was a war against Persia—or rather Tehran, for that was all that remained:

persia_war_1.jpg


Kashmir was annexed, and soon after, Persia—the once mighty and feared nation, was totally absorbed into the lands of the Caliph:

persia_annexation.jpg


And so it was ended.

Thanks to Rafiki for hosting the large image.

With only two and a half years remaining, who will fall before the sword of Egypt? Find out next time, when The Pharaoh and the Prophet returns.

Hahaha :rofl:

The Papal States as a Caliphate vassal? Now that must've hurt the old Pontifex' pride :D

Great update as always, Mem. Looking forward to the grand finale; perhaps bring it to your old friend Russia?

Bwahahaha. :rofl: One of the best pictures ever. It really needs "PNWED" written across it in large, friendly letters.

I agree. That's very nice.
