Well the canal is now heavily guarded, so such an attack would be suicidal. I dropped my planned invasion of Ethopia that would have caught you off guard after you agreed to sign the NAP. Had you said "Go to Hell" or something similar, even no... Ethopia would have been ours.
Also I wish to add, had you actually invaded the Suez canal, half of you navy would be on the bottom of the Red Sea and some ships would probably be in French hands, also most of you army would be littered all over the bottom of the canal. Considering the vast amount of troops I had moved there in such a small amount of time (number is withheld for security reasons) your army would be trapped by my grand strategy and firepower. Perhaps someday I will tell you how I planned this, but I still do not trust the British. You understand of course.
I believe this strange person attempted to get to two most powerfull nations into a war. Thank goodness cooler heads prevailed.
Also, Lucky, so my agent went missing? Damn him.... I paid him well and how does he repay me.
