As Jerome Bonaparte continued his conversation with Abdu Cadivin, he increasingly felt that this anti-French "hero" before him was indeed someone not to be underestimated. France was able to suppress him entirely due to its superior national strength.
One must know that at the peak of France's military operations in Algeria, there were nearly over 100,000 French soldiers fighting in every corner of Algeria.
And during the recently ended Crimean War, France deployed only about 100,000 soldiers to the Crimean Peninsula.
If Algeria were far from France, then Abdu Cadivin might have had a chance to repel the French army.
Of course, Abdu Cadivin's suppression by France was not entirely due to military issues.
At that time, some of the upper feudal clergy leading his resistance had long colluded with France, providing them with intelligence.
Abdu Cadivin's failure could be said to be inevitable.
Thinking of this, Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for Abdu Cadivin.
