Race for Egypt

[Emperor Francis I]

The United Kingdom vs The Ottoman Empire
vs The French Republic
The United Kingdom's and The Ottoman Empire's separate attempts to both independently gain the currently undefended French Protectorate of Egypt.

Background
This war has been over-turned and the United Kingdom now has to complete objectives in its invasion of Egypt (with all profile changes being reversed). Concurrently, the Ottoman Empire has also decided that it would like to invade Egypt. The United Kingdom and the Ottoman Empire are not working together.

Aim
The United Kingdom: To take the French-owned half of the province of Egypt.
The Ottoman Empire: To unite the French-owned half of Egypt with the half it already owns.

Reason
The United Kingdom: To make Egypt into a British protectorate as part of The Third Coalition's war on the French Republic.
The Ottoman Empire: A friendly occupation highlighting the benefits of The Ottoman Empire over the French Republic, recapturing land it owned pre-1798.

Objective One
The United Kingdom: Land and capture Alexandria, the strategic port crucial to Egypt's trade in the Mediterranean.
The Ottoman Empire: By land, capture the port of Alexandria in an attempt to get there before the British; and/or secure the port of Suez on the Red Sea.
The French Republic: Attempt to recruit some kind of force, or promote a civil up-rising, in resistance to the British and Ottoman invasions by using the government you have in place; and/or attempt to bring in troops to Egypt for its defence seeing as France is not currently under Blockade.

Objective responses are to be PMed to me by Friday 11th of April at 15.30 BST. Failure to do so will result in immediate failure of the objective.

[Emperor Francis I]

Due to your respective objectives, I have made a conscious decision to keep the results and troops of each other hidden. This will most probably change dependent on the results of future objectives. Your individual responses are going to be PMed to you.

Objective One Results
The United Kingdom: I have not received an invasion plan from the United Kingdom, and although three days are not yet up, I need to do this now before I go away. It is assumed The United Kingdom is no longer involved due to the Treaty of Alexandria.

The Ottoman Empire: Hidden

Objective Two
The Ottoman Empire: Attempt to find out how many troops the French have, and what it is that they have done in Egypt. Defend and attack as you see fit.
The French Republic: Attempt to find out how many troops the Ottomans have, and what it is that they have done in Egypt. Defend and attack as you see fit.

Objective responses are to be PMed to me by Monday 14th of April at 10.00 BST. Failure to do so will result in immediate failure of the objective.

[Emperor Francis I]

An end of hostilities has been reached after The Treaty of Cairo in which the entirety of the province of Egypt was given to the Ottoman Empire. War end.
