While the Egyptian armored forces began beating up the Italians in Ethiopia, an aircraft carrier formation consisting of two aircraft carriers and auxiliary ships provided by the British also arrived in Alexandria.
The arrival of the fleet attracted a large number of Egyptian people to watch at the port.
Although with the improvement of Egypt's national construction in recent years, the living standards and knowledge of the Egyptian people have also improved simultaneously. They are no longer the ignorant and ignorant people in the past.
However, a large fleet composed of two aircraft carriers and a large number of warships cannot be seen at all times. Even in developed countries such as Britain and France, it can still attract a large number of onlookers.
So when the fleet entered the port, the city of Alexandria was almost full of people gathered at the port to watch.
The huge steel hull and the white side of the ship are things that the Egyptians in the past could not imagine. Even if they appeared in their sight, they were just war tools used by foreign invaders to launch aggression, not those who are now defending the country.
Sea steel city wall.
There is no doubt that the existence of the two aircraft carriers and the aircraft carrier formation has greatly inspired and enhanced the self-confidence and sense of security of the Egyptian people, and also made them more supportive of the current Egyptian government and the rule of Chen Mo.
Therefore, when "Chen Mo" appeared on the dock, the onlookers cheered like a mountain and a tsunami, expressing their admiration for their king.
The "Chen Mo" who appeared on the dock was just a divine lich with the same face as him. He did not bring his consciousness to this divine lich.
After all, it is just a ceremony for the fleet to enter the port. It can be handled by the evil lich as a substitute. He does not need to handle it personally.
This can be regarded as the benefit of having a group of substitutes. He no longer needs to handle some matters that are not very important but must be attended in person, but can instead leave them to the substitutes to attend on his behalf.
Although this method was only thought up to facilitate Chen Mo to stabilize his own situation, for Chen Mo, it undoubtedly provided him with great convenience.
At least when there are stand-ins, if he doesn't want to attend certain events or meet certain people, these stand-ins can come in handy.
And in addition to these functions, the stand-in also has a practical function that Chen Mo cannot use, but it is very practical, that is, it is used to protect his own safety and to distract the enemy's targets when he encounters an assassination.
In fact, this is the role of a stand-in under normal circumstances. After all, everyone keeps a stand-in to take risks in dangerous situations, rather than letting the stand-in do work for them like Chen Mo.
For necromancers, it is difficult for them to die, so in a conventional sense, it does not make much sense to have a substitute deal with dangerous situations for themselves.
After all, even if the Necromancer has a poor reputation in the multiverse, he will occasionally encounter some conflicts with people who are not easy to communicate with, but it would be too difficult to kill a Necromancer who is prepared for everything.
Simply killing a necromancer's body is a difficult problem for ordinary people to think of every possible way, even enough to produce a soul-based masterpiece or multiple series.
And if you want to completely kill a necromancer, it is no less difficult than clearing the Souls series without any equipment, without strengthening it, and relying solely on operation.
Therefore, the substitute thing came into Chen Mo's hands, which was used to deal with complicated social occasions or activities that he was too lazy to attend.
It is not complicated to make a stand-in of this level. As long as you make a body shape and appearance that is the same as your own, and fill in some relevant memories, even if it is just a blank slate corpse puppet, you can do the job.
Therefore, in addition to the evil lich, Chen Mo also made a group of ordinary substitutes. These substitutes can act independently, but when necessary, Chen Mo can also impart his will to these substitutes. If he himself
Come in person.
So that except for people like Ada Wang who knew that his body was always deep in the palace, no one could tell whether Chen Mo who appeared in front of him was a substitute.
At least at this time, the British ambassador who came to see Chen Mo had no idea that the "Chen Mo" he was meeting with was a corpse puppet stand-in.
However, this did not affect the British Ambassador and "Chen Mo" from discussing business matters.
"Your Majesty Chen Mo, the British Empire military is very interested in the battle between your country's troops in Ethiopia and the Italians. I wonder if our country can send an observation team?" The British Ambassador told Chen Mo that he had just arrived from the country yesterday.
Orders received domestically.
Because the Egyptian army defeated the Italians in Ethiopia in a devastating manner, the war situation had completely spread throughout Europe, and all countries were in an uproar.
Relying on its ally relationship with Egypt, the British Empire responded very quickly. It sent telegrams directly to the ambassador in Egypt and the garrison in the Canal Zone, asking them to find out what was going on.
In fact, the British have a relatively good understanding of the Egyptian army's combat capabilities. After all, they have been conducting joint exercises before, and they think they have a relatively clear understanding of the Egyptian army's combat capabilities.
Generally speaking, the battle between the Egyptian Army and the British Army participating in the exercise is roughly at a 40-60 level, and the British can win more by relying on their foundation as a world power.
In the eyes of the British, this is already the best performance of the Egyptian army. After all, the British Empire is also the world's top power, and its army level is not bad.
But even so, the British military did not believe that its army could achieve a complete victory against the Italians.
This result is obviously abnormal. The Egyptians must have secrets that they don't know.
The British military, in particular, has developed a strong interest in the equipment of the Egyptian armored forces. This is completely different from their previous attitude of disdain for the tanks and armored vehicles equipped by the Egyptian army.
A big turn in degree.
Facing this request from the British, "Chen Mo" pondered for a moment before saying: "This is our country's military secrets. Although the British Empire is an ally, it would not be good to pry into the ally's military secrets, right?
However, if the British military is interested in the tanks and armored vehicles equipped by our armored forces, it is not impossible for us to export a batch to the UK."
Hearing what Chen Mo said, the British Ambassador suddenly understood, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face: "The garrison in the Canal Zone is preparing to replace a batch of equipment recently. It would be great if it could be purchased from Egypt nearby.
Already."
In the view of the British ambassador, if this matter could be solved with money, it would not be a problem.
Before he came, the country had given him sufficient authority to decide on a batch of military purchases, which was within the scope of his ability to make the final decision.
