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 the fleet to Egypt. In the Battle of Aboukir Bay, they destroyed 11 French Navy battleships and killed Commander Bluais, cutting off Napoleon's retreat.
Currently, the British fleet has 45 steam battleships—affected by insufficient steam engine supply, this is only 60% of the Navy's original planned output—although fewer than the French Navy's 60 ships, it's enough to shield the main battleships from harassment by French steam warships.
This allows the British Mediterranean Fleet, with its superior number of third-level and above battleships, to regain the power to enter the Mediterranean Sea.
Afterward, as long as the supply lines of the French Army landing in Egypt are cut off, the French people would have no choice but to abandon Egypt.
