When the Central European Battlefield had reached a stalemate, the Egyptian battlefield was also at a critical moment.
Since the Austrian army had set aside political burdens, the canal, once a natural barrier, had turned into a thoroughfare, no longer hindering the Austrian advance.
Once close combat ensued, the problems with the French Army began to gradually surface.
There was no choice, France's manpower was limited, it was impossible to deploy regular troops to the Egypt Area without limits. With an insufficient number of main force troops, they could only make do with the Colonial Army.
While they might look similar, their combat effectiveness was worlds apart.
The rebellion in Egypt had just passed a few years ago, and French rule was not that stable. Watching France and Austria fighting like dogs, the Egyptian people really had no interest in getting involved.
