I've been doing some casual research on off moments and I have a question for you pertaining to Egypt's fleet.

I'm not going to say you can't have it but I am asking for a plugging of a hole in logistics.

I was thinking Muhammad Ali managed to strong-arm the Ottoman Sultan into allowing him all of those, which would be easier if he still had Syria and Cilicia, the latter which is close to Konya. Alternatively, won't Syria and Cilicia have timber or precious metals to exchange for timber (Sudan has gold too)?
