The two colonies were accounted for, which was naturally good news for Chen Mo and was also a good harvest for this war.
Although these two colonies are not good locations, do not have much rich resources, and even the population is not large, Eritrea is adjacent to the Sultan. If Chen Mo swallows the Sultan, this area can be directly connected with Egyptian land, allowing Chen Mo to further extend his power to the Arabian Sea.
This is of great significance strategically.
And on the other hand, with the victory of this war, the attitudes of countries across North Africa and the Middle East towards Egypt have obviously changed dramatically.
Ethiopia hopes to establish an offensive and defensive alliance. Although it still exists as an independent country, the king of Ethiopia clearly expressed his hope that Egypt can take the lead in establishing an alliance and take on more responsibilities in the Middle East.
To this end, the king of Ethiopia also stood up and called on neighboring countries, hoping that neighboring countries would join this alliance together to resist threats from Europe and get rid of the control of the great powers over the Middle East and North Africa.
Chen Mo could not deny this proposal. In his opinion, neighboring countries in the Middle East have no effect except oil.
Moreover, most of the countries are still under the control of European powers, either colonies or spheres of influence. They want to establish a covenant relationship with Egypt, but they just want to seek independence with the power of Egypt.
This covenant is of course beneficial to small countries. As a member of the alliance, they received the help and protection of the entire alliance.
Economically, countries can communicate with each other, learn from their strengths and weaknesses, and military united countries will also be a force that cannot be underestimated. Although they are still not qualified to challenge the European powers, at least they will maintain regional stability and strive for independence for themselves.
However, this alliance did not have much benefit to Egypt.
Ultimately, this is an alliance, not a coalition. As the strongest country in the Middle East and North Africa, Egypt can obtain very little benefits from these small neighboring countries after the alliance, but in turn it has to bear the obligation to protect these neighboring countries. This is not a good deal for Egypt.
When World War II breaks out, North Africa will become the battlefield for the Allies and Axis powers. At that time, it will send troops to attack the Axis powers, and then directly dye these places into their own colors, wouldn’t it be fragrant?
In Chen Mo's view, alliance is a means for small countries to unite to keep warm to resist the threat of big countries.
If they are all small countries, there is no problem with alliances, but if one side is too strong, such an alliance is more like a vassal than an alliance.
Just like the EU countries whose area is so small that they cannot print their country's name on the world map, what does they really have to say in EU affairs?
They are just background boards that have brought great powers to strengthen their momentum.
But it is obvious that these Middle Eastern countries that hope to form alliances with Egypt are not here to serve as background boards for Egypt.
On the contrary, the wishful thinking they have made Egypt into their background board, and with the help of Egypt's current international reputation and military deterrence, they have fought for independence and international status, as well as more interests for themselves.
The alliance was just a means by which they pulled Egypt into their chariots.
This can be seen from the form of alliance proposed by these countries.
To form the Supreme Parliament of the Alliance, all countries enjoy equal power, and the Parliament enjoys the Supreme Power. All franchise countries must obey the resolutions of the Supreme Parliament. The Parliament adopts a democratic system of one country, one vote...
The meaning revealed between the lines is really obvious, and it is almost impossible to say that Egypt should be used as a thug for this so-called alliance.
Although Egypt cannot win over member states in the alliance through various means and eventually turn the entire alliance into its own one-man show, this does not mean much to Egypt.
Rather than spending a lot of time playing political games, isn’t it better to directly push the military?
Now is not after World War II. The international situation has stabilized and has nuclear weapons deterrence. All countries are unwilling to start the war easily. The five biggest hooligans are willing to sit at the negotiating table to resolve various international affairs.
Before World War II began, iron and blood were still deciding most international affairs. As long as we could suppress all opposition voices, what if we conquer the world?
Of course, you still have to consider the consequences when doing this. After all, some things are easy to do, and the follow-up after doing them is the real trouble.
Not to mention how much resources and energy it takes to develop such a large territory, the reputation and reputation in the international community can easily fall to negative.
Playing dyeing games can make you feel scruples and your diplomatic relations with all countries reach a minus 100, but in reality, you can't do this. In history, countries that dare to do this have to kill themselves.
Qin Hui has three friends, so you can't really be alone, right?
Although conquering the world is not impossible for necromancers and transmultiverse empires, Chen Mo does not want to be enemies of the world at the moment.
So after careful consideration, he still agreed to discuss matters about alliances with these countries.
After all, these countries around Egypt are the world's major oil producers in the future. Being able to win over these countries is equivalent to mastering the world's major oil output in the next half century, which is enough to influence and influence the situation in the entire world.
And although the covenant was proposed by these small countries, it was obvious that they did not have the ability to accept the covenant they proposed.
The strength of the two sides is not equal, and it is obvious that small countries do not have the ability to dominate the covenant.
Especially now, these countries that want to form alliances want to obtain asylum from Egypt.
So in the end, this so-called covenant will inevitably be centered on Egypt and will be dominated by Egypt to implement Chen Mo's will.
Small countries need to seek asylum, while large countries need to win over allies.
As Egypt showed its strength, not only did Britain, as its original ally, further strengthened its envy of Egypt, France, Germany and the Soviet Union, but also turned their attention to this emerging country rising in the Middle East, trying to pull it into its own camp.
For a moment, envoys from various countries gathered in Cairo, all wanting to reach cooperation with Egypt before others. Even if they cannot win over it into their own camp, they cannot let this powerful regional power turn to their opponents.
However, facing the cooperation conditions offered by various countries, Chen Mo did not have any substantial contact with various countries, but announced his visit to the United States very suddenly.
