Johnson and his party came eagerly but left disappointed, as the Seventh Infantry Regiment would not provide them with meals, and even if the East Africans dared to shelter them, Johnson did not dare to stay in Fashir City.
"Lord Fashir, are we just going to slink back to Khartoum?" An Egyptian officer asked inappropriately.
Johnson retorted, "What do you mean by 'slinking back'? I simply made the most rational choice. Do you want to challenge East Africa? I don't mind if you lead your troops to try, but you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."
With that said, the Egyptian officer naturally did not dare to say more. Although Egypt had little interaction with East Africa, they knew that East Africa was not to be trifled with.
Of course, from Egypt's perspective, there were few Europeans that they could provoke, including small European countries like Portugal and Greece.
