It was like a dream, and yesterday it was still flying over the ocean. When the sun showed a scorching light in the sky today, the Eagle airship had already carried Tang Yunyang and his group to Ethiopia, the country at the entrance of the Suez Canal.

Here, Tang Yunyang was sent by an airship to Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, where he met Zoditu, the daughter of Menelik II, and Duke Maconan, Tafari, in Ethiopia. If you don’t know who it is, then everyone should be familiar with the Emperor of Ethiopia, Haier Selasi I.

When it comes to Ethiopia, it may be that the scene of hunger and helpless people dying tragically under the scorching sun may appear before us, but this is a country with a glorious tradition.

Their determination to fight against the invaders was no less than that of the Chinese, and even their war to fight against the invaders was successful.

On March 1, 1896, the famous Battle of Aduwa broke out during the First Anti-Italy War. The then emperor Menelik II personally commanded 100,000 troops to fight the Italian invading army in Aduwa in northern Ethiopia.

Relying on favorable conditions such as high morale, familiar terrain, and accurate intelligence, the Ethiopian army adopted the tactics of dividing the enemy and defeating each one, annihilated 17,000 Italian invading troops (including more than 12,000 casualties and more than 4,000 prisoners), and seized all the Italian army's artillery and a large number of other weapons and equipment.

After the war, the Italian government was forced to sign the Addis Ababa Treaty with Ethiopia on October 26, abandoning the claim to make Ethiopia its protector, recognizing its complete independence as a sovereign state, and paying 10 million lira. Ethiopia won the first war against Italy.

This is a kind of honor. At that time, the Italian army was not much weaker than the Eight-Nation Alliance that invaded China, but why did they fail?

It can be said that if China had not had the defeat of the Opium War, the poison of opium, or the war against the invaders at that time might not have been defeated.

Of course, the corrupt Manqing government is not worthy of sympathy, but what after the Republic of China? What did our Chinese elites do in the face of bullying from the Japanese, French, British, American and German armies?

For the military expenditure of their respective troops, they actually produced opium and sold their first ones. If they were interested, they could check it out. What good things did the supervisors who had mastered the Chinese military power at that time do!

As the saying goes, people should die, and goods should be thrown away. Compared with Ethiopia's victory in resisting aggression, then China may have the only way to kill all the so-called "elites". There will probably be no "elites" that harm the country and the people, or there is still hope in the Republic of China.

However, under Tang Yunyang's "three no" policy, those so-called "elites" are probably not much better than death. Except for those who have been pardoned, the rest of the people who have had relationships with opium are mostly building railways and highway concentration camps to serve the hard labor that they have no hope of completing in their lives.

If we look at this point alone, China still has hope.

"Hello, Her Majesty, Queen Zoditu, Duke Ma Kang..."

Faced with these countries that once defeated Italy, Tang Yunyang felt an inexplicable respect in his heart. At least their fighting spirit is worthy of respect.

As mentioned earlier, China rented a piece of land on the territory of Ethiopia, near the Red Sea and established a huge air transport base. Although it is a place to park airships, if one day it is necessary, it is probably as long as the airship comes from China, an air barrier that cuts off Europe and Asia will be immediately formed here.

Under such circumstances, Britain and France naturally did not want to. However, the Ethiopian royal family, whose attention was entirely focused on their own economic construction, was completely bewitched by the huge rents of the Chinese.

Of course, like all feudal governments in the world, the Ethiopian government is not a solid piece of the same. According to the information obtained by Tang Yunyang, Queen Zoditu and Crown Prince Ma Kang often have disagreements in dealing with issues.

As for the Queen's idea, they should rely on the secret support of the French to develop the strength of the country just as they did in the war in Italy. However, the young male Duke Ma Kang, who had received a new education, was not willing to rely on other countries like this. He hoped to have his own industry and just like China today, and believed that only in this way could the entire country truly enter the ranks of civilized countries.

At the same time, his eyes were always on the Eritrea region, which was considered Ethiopian territory and was invaded by the Italians.

In 1869, the Italian colonizers gained a foothold in Asab, sent troops to Masawa, and expanded inland.

In 1889, Ethiopia signed the Treaty of Usial and recognized its rule over the occupied areas such as Asab, Masawa, Kron, Asmara.

In 1890, Italy merged the occupied areas into a unified colony and named it "Eritrea".

"if you can……"

As the young regent, Ma Kang male duke had an expectation in his heart. After all, if he had the coastline of the Red Sea, Ethiopia could transform from an inland country with inconvenient transportation into a Red Sea coastal country. In a sense, this is a dream that China and Ethiopia really want to realize.

If the Mande Strait at the southern end of the Red Sea can be cut off, it will not only prevent India from ties with the British, but also interrupt the ties between Australia, New Zealand and Europe. As for starving Japan to death, China, which already has all the oil resources in the South China Sea, if you want, it will be just one thing.

The only thing is based on the current international situation. If you are not good at this kind of thing, just talk about exports directly. For the time being, it is more beneficial to talk more about cooperation in industry, agricultural production and other aspects.

Ethiopia is located in eastern Africa and is a landlocked country. It is uplifted in the central part of the territory and is known as the "roof of Africa". The highest peak is 4,620 meters above sea level.

The Great Rift Valley in East Africa runs diagonally and the two sides are steep. More than 30 rivers originate from the central plateau, so they are known as the "Northeast Africa Water Tower". The climate is complex and the temperature varies greatly from place to place. There are many types of minerals, rich in geothermal, hydraulic, and forest resources.

"Duke Ma Kangnan, our country's agricultural and engineering experts have put forward this view on the extremely uneven regional development caused by China's natural climate. In arid areas, underground water pipelines can be established and water-saving agriculture can be developed under the premise of establishing drought-resistant crops. Regarding this, we have also consulted some other experts. You know that our country's agricultural production in arid areas also needs to learn from others!"

The Male Duke Ma Kang, who held a banquet with the Queen to entertain Tang Yunyang, felt very strange. Since it was adjacent to the colonial countries ruled by Italy, France and Britain, the news was not too slow. Especially, at this time, you can receive radio broadcasts from Italy, Britain and France.

These conditions made them know that China is no longer the former, the decadent Eastern Empire. Even the medicines they manufactured have entered the European market. This only shows that China's technology has made a leaps and bounds in recent years.

Especially after hearing this news, the special envoy sent to Se Island and brought him back to him, which made him think that China was already far ahead of the world at this time. This forced Ma Kang to have more hope for China's support.

"Learn from others, you... Oh Tang Zhizheng, you know we are very sincere in cooperation!"

"Look at the first release of Literature Network together, please support genuine reading and support author creation" Buxiaosheng Group a: 35761481; Email:.

"Of course, the noble Ma Kang Duke, we believe this, your envoy made it very clear last time. Therefore, we specially asked people who lived in the arid areas of the Middle East but had the help of economics in agricultural production. If you allow it, then I would like to invite them here."

"They live in the Middle East? Are they willing to help us? Tang is in power, and we are actually willing to deal with Chinese people more. You know, our resources are quite rich, and we are willing to use them with China, which is developing rapidly."

The male duke of Tafari Makang was somewhat confused. He could not think of some of the Muslim countries in the Middle East who had skilled agricultural production skills. Moreover, he was also a little worried that as a Christian country in Africa, could he get their assistance?

Of course, the male Duke of Tafari Ma Kang didn't know, or did not understand who Tang Yunyang was talking about, and this was an excusable thing, at least it was not from ignorance.

This is just because of religious reasons. As we all know, the war between Christians and Muslims has been fighting and stopping since the Crusader era. By the beginning of the 20s, in addition to the situation becoming more complicated and the result being more cruel, the fuse of the conflict between Jews and oil was added.

In this place where the conflict between religion and resource interests is the most concentrated, it is strange that the Middle East is not chaotic or turbulent. Under such turmoil, Ma Kang, the male duke of Tafari, naturally could not believe that there would be people from Middle Eastern countries willing to help them develop the Ethiopian economy.

But the Chinese are different. A country along the Red Sea coast has extremely important significance to them. I believe they are willing to pay all the costs, including economic aid and military assistance. Because of this, they have considerable initiative.

"So Tang Zhizheng, can I ask? Who are your friends and how are they willing to help us Christians develop agriculture? This is really...it's really an incredible thing!"
