Therefore, England must do everything possible to prevent France from occupying Egypt.
Historically, upon learning of Napoleon's landing in Egypt, England immediately dispatched Nelson to lead a fleet to Egypt, and in the Battle of Aboukir Bay, destroyed 11 French Navy battleships and killed Commander Bluais, cutting off Napoleon's line of retreat.
At present, the British fleet possesses 45 steam warships—due to insufficient steam engine supply, this is only 60% of the Navy's planned output—although fewer than the 60 warships of the French Navy, this is enough to competition with French steam battleships and cover their main battleships from harassment.
This once again endows the British Mediterranean Fleet, relying on its numerous Third Level or above battleships, with the strength to reenter the Mediterranean.
Afterward, as long as the French Army's supply line to Egypt is cut, the French people will have no choice but to abandon Egypt.
