PoD: Napoleon does not go to Egypt.
He heads to the Rhine, administered lately by the French-imposed "Cisrhenian Republic." He pushes eastward.
Still a soldier of the Republic in those days (c. 1800), he deposes princes and bishops every step of the way. The Republic of the Rhine, encompassing nearly all of non-Prussian, non-Austrian Germany, is declared in 1801.
