Chapter 151 Kingly Way (Six)

"This is a list of missions, gift lists and special military aid programs." Mooning presented a stack of documents.

Liu Yun browsed it carefully.

In addition to the ambassador Ye Hua, the mission members sent to Ethiopia (also known as Abyssinia) this time include 1 deputy envoy, 1 first-class military officer, 3 second-class military officer, 1 first-class translator, 5 second-class translator, 1 first-class medical officer, 2 second-class medical officer, 3 Christian priests, 8 academic experts from all walks of life, 4 industrial and commercial representatives, 180 mission guards and more than 90 other members, with a total of more than 300 people.

Gifts include:

Wanghu cars 2. Spare parts and some oil.

2 60 mortars, 2 80 mortars, 1 57 mountain insurgent cannon, 1 75 mountain cannon, 1 75 field cannon, 105 cannon, a total of 8 artillery pieces, each cannon carries 120 shells.

There are 400 rifles, 100 horse rifles, 8 light machine guns, 4 heavy machine guns, and 330,000 bullets.

The personal gifts given to Emperor Menelik II of Egypt by the Emperor of the Chinese Empire: decorative clocks, Chinese jewelry, cloisonné porcelain, Chinese swords, picture albums, books, movie machines, slide machines, special film and slides, traditional Chinese paintings, portraits of the Chinese emperor's family, etc.

There are also gifts to Duke Ma Kangnan: gift pistols, Chinese swords, etc.

All the above personnel and materials will be shipped by a large armored cruiser, a protective cruiser and a naval transport ship, and will be unloaded in the Port of Obok in French Djibouti or the Port of Zela in British Somalia.

Seeing this, Liu Yun looked up and said, "Don't forget the two planes I just mentioned."

Mo Ning repeatedly claimed that it was.

Military aid programs linked to alliance or quasi-alliance treaties include:

In Egypt, the Permanent Military Advisory Group helped Egypt reorganize and develop regular troops.

Free full set of equipment and 1 year ammunition and medicine that can arm 1 independent infantry brigade (13,600 people).

Help build a small-scale airfloat team.

On this basis, other weapons and ammunitions and drugs that Egypt wants to buy are sold at a discounted price half the price lower than the international market average.

Help Egypt develop military industry, mainly coal, iron ore, steel, fire, medicine and guns and bullets.

Liu Yun put down the document with satisfaction: "Very good, you should all understand the mission you are paying for. This time, you traveled thousands of miles and spent money. He sent such a large mission to visit Ethiopia, which is far away on the west coast of the Indian Ocean. He also brought so many gifts and coupons. It was not because we were too much money and burned. Are we the kind of burning buns?"

After the emperor asked humorously, everyone smiled and shook their heads.

Liu Yun shook his head and asked and answered: "Of course not. The ancients said that diplomacy should be done with far and near attacks. The e-Chinese people are too close to us, and they touch our heads, and they randomly touched our sky spirit cap, so they were cut by us. This is a close attack. As for this far-reaching friendship, now European powers follow Germany to call the Yellow Peril, and they don't like us. The United States is worried that we will compete with him for the Pacific Ocean. What should we do? Look left and right, there is such an Ethiopia in Africa, which is very powerful. Most of the places across Africa are divided by the great powers, leaving only a small piece on the west side, and Liberia protected by the United States is left. In the east side, Ethiopia is this. Although it is bounded by the great powers, it is not strong.

Swallowed it. In the first year of Guangxing, it was the current Emperor Menelik II who led the country to fight against the Italian invading army. In the place of Aduwa, a large army commanded by a Duke of Maconnan killed all the main forces of the Italian army. Italy not only lost its troops and was forced to recognize the independence of Egypt, but also paid 10 million lira in the end. Think about it, during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, when was the Chinese who paid foreigners' money? When did the foreigners pay us? Later, the little Japanese had an unhappy fight with us and blatantly attacked Taiwan, and we also paid him 500,000 taels of silver. So, this Emperor Menelik and his Ethiopian Empire were amazing, amazing."

Everyone was amazed.

"However, although Menelic defeated the invading army temporarily, he was still surrounded by the great powers, constantly being eroded by others and may be divided at any time. At this time, they are in need of an ally who is willing to help but have no attempt to colonize. In the world, only the kingly Chinese kingdom can take on this role. And the empire also needs a chess piece that can restrain the great powers of Europe. Egypt is approaching the Red Sea and reaching the throat of the Indian Ocean. This place is like the lifeline of the great powers. Just use a little force and the wind and clouds will change their color."

As soon as the emperor said the "lifeline" and everyone laughed. It was quite appropriate to think about it carefully.

"The kingly way of the Celestial Dynasty and the hegemony of Europe and the United States is about to be known. Siam has been favored by our Celestial Dynasty. Although there are many difficulties in contacting Egypt this time, it is of great significance. The pain of Siam is only on the toes of the great powers, and the tinea syringae in Egypt is under the waist of the great powers. Asia is not Asia in Europe and the United States, and Africa is also the garden of Europe and the United States? In time, the kingly way of China will be vast in the world, and you should be among the first heroes."

Hearing this, Ye Hua immediately took the lead in kneeling. Everyone slapped and knelt down and said in unison: "The emperor, wise, I will never let down the emperor's high expectations, and I will do my best to fulfill my mission, and I will devote myself to my best efforts, and I will be crushed to pieces, and I will never refuse."

The reception ended in the atmosphere of the king and ministers who were united and filled with happy elements. Mo Ning was about to retreat with the delegation representatives, but was stopped by Liu Yun.

"Take some time on your part."

Liu Yun looks in a good mood.

"The Emperor just asks the order." Mo Ning smiled too brightly.

"The last time you said that the group leader could be hereditary is very interesting."

Mo Ning respectfully: "The emperor clearly understands that I am not out of selfishness, but simply stands from the overall position of the group and the empire, and discusses the matter..."

"Okay, OK, I don't mean that. Having said that, I heard that Zhang Zhigao was calling your senior brother?"

"Yes, although he is only one year older than him in terms of age, he is three years older than him in school, and he is also far before him to receive the teachings of Teacher Wen." Mo Ning was secretly happy in his heart - there is a chance!

After thinking a little thoughtfully, Liu Yun nodded violently and said, "Yeah, actually, I always feel that Lao Wen is a little biased and is too fond of Zhang Zhigao. In fact, I have seen it very clearly over the years that you and Zhang Zhigao are among the top comprehensive talents among the group's civil servants, and their abilities are comparable... But Zhang Zhigao is more enthusiastic and not flexible enough, and the latter is your strength."

Mo Ning controlled his ecstasy mood and pretended to be unmoved and lowered his head slightly, "The Emperor is too complimenting..."

"Don't be too humble. I think, when should the Prime Minister change his position, you should take a seat. Everyone needs to exercise. Accumulating some experience in different positions will be very meaningful for the future development of individuals and groups."

"The Emperor's Holy Ming..." Mo Ning's knees softened and he almost knelt down.

Is the boundary between modern people and ancient people really only on those two knee cartilages?
