However, these subsequent matters do not require concern to Admiral Treville and Tayip Pasha. For them, the most important thing now is to "take the remaining bravery to chase the poor" and immediately go to Tunisia and Morocco to fight for greater victory and more benefits.

However, after all, I spent a lot of time in Tripoli, so the effect of the raid was naturally impossible to achieve. When they came to Tunisia, they found that something seemed to have happened to Tunisia Port, as if it had just been burned by a fire.

Ahadi Pasha of Tunisia had already seen Yusuf Pasha who had fled, and learned from him that the terrible weapons like heavenly fire used by the evil pagans and the terrible fire it caused. This news also made Ahadi Pasha very worried.

"My friend, you mean that the fortress cannot stop them at all. If you arrange troops in the port, you will be attacked by fire... How can you fight this battle? There is no way to fight this." There are no people around, and Ahadi Pasha is not afraid of damaging morale or something, so she said directly.

"How many mines have you purchased?" Yusuf Pasha asked.

Ahadi Pasha was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said, "My friend, you know, those British guys are asking for very high prices. They are just slaughtering us as fat sheep, so I... don't know if it's time to order them urgently?"

"What a god!" Yousuf was also startled and said, "You bought very little?"

"I wanted to buy a few less, but those British pagans were really... When they heard that I wanted to reduce the order quantity, they immediately increased the unit price. As a result, I was angry and…"

"Just what?"

"I didn't buy a single one!" Ahadi Pasha said with a sad face.

"Are those British businessmen still there?"

"I'm here, I'm here. I'll go find them now and buy all the goods in their hands." Ahadi Pasha quickly stood up.

"My friend, don't worry, now figure out where their goods are? Are they near our port? If their goods are in Gibraltar, or even in the UK, then it would be meaningless if he didn't give you a penny. The Turks and the French wouldn't give us so much time. In addition, I guess their prices will be higher, but in any case, mines are the most threatening weapons to our enemies in previous battles."

"Okay, I'll have someone do it right away. My friend, if... I mean if the British mines were still in Gibraltar, then what should I do?"

"My friends, mines have some effect, but they are not entirely useful. They can use high tides to avoid the dangers of mines. Of course, this also limits the time they can use to attack every day. Now the most important thing is how to deal with their fire rain. I have an idea..."

Yusuf Pasha believes that the reason why such a big fire was burned in Tripoli was entirely because there were too many wooden houses and wooden roofs. Therefore, in order to avoid the fire, Yusuf Pasha suggested that all the roofs and other flammable materials in the houses in the port area be immediately cleaned up to avoid being attacked by the opponent.

However, it was too difficult to clean up these things. So the progress of this matter has been very slow. But soon news about the Turks and French people doing in Tripoli also came. This news suddenly strengthened the determination of the Barbarian pirates to resist to the end.

"We cannot negotiate with them, nor can we surrender to them. The tyrant Selim III needs a lot of land to buy his followers. Who else can he get land except from us? Look, who has saved his property and heads from all the farmers who stayed in Tripoli? We cannot give what they want, because they want everything about us, including our heads. So we have no other way to go except to resist to the end!" After getting the exact news, Ehadipasha concentrated his officers and said to them.

So the demolition speed increased a little, but at this speed, it was still impossible to complete the entire fire prevention and demolition work before the arrival of the Turks and the French. Finally, an officer suddenly had an idea and came up with a better solution.

"Great Pasha," said the officer, "I think why don't we set a fire on our own? This way, all the flammable materials can be removed in most of the day."

The neighborhoods are all homes of poor people, and they don’t feel bad if they burned them. So Ahadi Pasha thought about it and thought that this idea was very good. So with his order, the soldiers immediately took action, drove the poor people out of their houses, and then lit a fire on their own.

However, perhaps because the cleaning work was not done properly, many residents had already started to burn before they were driven out. As a result, many civilians were burned to death, and even some soldiers in charge of arson were trapped in the sea of ​​fire due to poor coordination.

So now, when the combined fleet of France and Türkiye appears outside Tunisia, the Tunisia in front of them has become like this.

The first round of operations of the coalition forces was of course the Turkish fleet carried out a tentative attack. The first was to see if the cannon could be lured to open fire, and then the French used high-explosive bombs to sweep away the cannons and artillery on the cannons and artillerymen in one breath. The second was to see if the rebels had laid a lot of mines outside the port.

As a result, there was only one gun on the most obvious turret of the Barbary Pirates who fired, and the French believed that using high-explosive bombs for one cannon was too wasteful and insisted on not firing for it. And when approaching the port, they did not encounter any mines.

The British told Ahadi Pasha that their mines were on ships outside the port, and that as long as they paid the deposit, they could be sent to the port immediately, and then they would be paid with one hand and delivered with the other.

The people of Ahadipasha followed the British onto their ship outside the port and saw the mines on the ship. Then they paid the deposit, and the British sold the mines to them with one hand and the other. However, the British secretly replaced the concentrated sulfuric acid in the fuse with distilled water. The nitrified starch in the thunder body was replaced with real starch. Half a month ago, the British government had informed them not to sell mines to the Barbary Pirates.
