Bab 260: Chapter 9, The True Colors of the Powers

Sinai Peninsula

In the colonization base camp, Austrian military representative Peter Lariwa arrived and received a warm welcome from the colonial squad.

"Mr. Peter, when will the reinforcements arrive?" Andrea asked with concern.

Peter smiled slightly and said, "Sorry, the French have stepped in to mediate this conflict, so we have to wait for the outcome of the negotiations in Cairo.

Before that, you must hold your positions here alone. If Egypt launches an attack, you can retreat directly to the coastal areas, where the navy will provide support.

Of course, this is the ideal scenario; normally, the Egyptian Government wouldn't go to such extremes. They don't have the confidence to wage war with Austria."

"Sir Peter, this has exceeded the scope of our contract. We certainly did not agree to act as bait to attract the Egyptian assault!" Leo Haf protested.
