Izett opened the two petitions in surprise, his brows immediately furrowing, then turned to Selim III and said: "Your Majesty, they hope to appoint Muhammad Ali as the Governor of Egypt."
Yes, that was the condition under which Joseph released Ibrahim and retained the status of other Mamluk Nobles.
Given Muhammad Ali's current status, if he didn't have the support of local Egyptian forces, the position of Governor wouldn't be his turn.
Historically, he also started as a mid-level officer in Egypt, using his skills to win over various forces, gradually taking control of the Egyptian regime over nearly five years.
Joseph did not want to wait five years, so he had to give him a push.
Selim III did not expect that a small Albanian officer would have such prestige in Egypt.
