Back on the Yangtze River No. 7, Li Ningyu didn't actually rest. He was just closing his eyes and thinking about things. But at this time, Li Tong was very lively, because it was the first time she saw such a large armored warship. She started
She visited everywhere, even the hot and dusty boiler room, but she didn't have any accidents because of the iron soldiers accompanying her.
Li Ningyu was still thinking about things. In 1896, while the British were busy suppressing the Mahdi movement, France sent Marchant to lead a team of 200 people to advance from the Ubangi River Basin to Fashoda in Sudan. France's move
Not only did they attempt to gain a foothold in the Nile Valley, but they also wanted to force Britain to make concessions in Egypt and Lake Chad. However, Britain refused to give in.
After occupying Omdurman, the capital of the Mahdi, the British army quickly arrived in Fashoda and demanded that Marchand retreat, otherwise there would be a military confrontation. The French government was forced to give in and ordered Marchand to retreat. In March 1899, Britain and France signed an agreement.
It was stipulated that the watershed of the Nile and Congo rivers should be the dividing line between the two sides' colonies in the Sudan.
The intensification of the British-German struggle for East Africa began after the Berlin Conference. At the end of 1884, the German Colonization Association sent an expedition headed by Karl Peters into East Africa and signed 12 protection treaties with some chiefs in the region. At the same time, the British
The East African Society sent an expedition headed by Harry Johnston to force some African chiefs to sign treaties accepting British protection.
In November 1886, Britain and Germany signed an agreement, which stipulated that the northern boundary of British territory was along the Tana River to the intersection of 1° north latitude and 37° east longitude. Britain recognized the Vitu area north of the Tana River as German territory. The agreement
It also recognized that Zanzibar Island, Pemba Island and the 1,000-mile-long and 10-mile-wide mainland coastal strip north of the Rovuma River were under the rule of the Sultan of Zanzibar.
This agreement did not include the entire East African continent. Therefore, after the agreement was signed, the competition between Britain and Germany continued. In 1890, the two sides signed the Treaty of Helgoland. Germany ceded the Buganda and Vitu areas to the United Kingdom and recognized the British control of Sango.
Britain granted protection to the Barsultanate, recognized Germany's possession of the Tanganyika coastal zone, and ceded the Helgoland Island in the North Sea to Germany.
Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal and other countries were all involved in the struggle to carve up North Africa, which caused many war crises. In the end, Morocco became a French protectorate and Libya became an Italian colony.
In South Africa, the United Kingdom used Cape Town as its base to advance to the northeast and successively occupied Bechuanaland, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Malawi. Germany occupied Southwest Africa. The Anglo-Boer War from 1889 to 1902 marked the re-carving up of Africa by imperialism.
The beginning of the period resulted in the two Boer republics (Orange and Transvaal) being merged into the Union of British South Africa.
By the time of World War I, only Ethiopia and Liberia still maintained political independence, and the rest of the African countries were divided by imperialism. The 1914 African political district table can give a glimpse of the outline of Africa after the partition.
Li Ningyu's entry point was the Anglo-Boer War in 1889. Just when Li Ningyu was thinking about what was going to happen next, the door was pushed open from the outside. Li Ningyu immediately opened his eyes and took a look, and then Duan Tong's
The appearance appeared in his eyes, but Li Ningyu did not get up, but continued to pretend to be asleep, and in his drowsiness, Li Ningyu really fell asleep this time.
Although this sleep only lasted less than 5 hours, it still made Li Ningyu energetic. But now he was embarrassed, because when he was about to get up and leave Yangtze River No. 7, he accidentally bumped into Duan Tong, and
Since men can stand up to the sky in their sleep, Duan Tong kept asking Li Ningyu where he put the stick and asked Li Ningyu to take it out to show her. Li Ningyu was so frightened that he quickly pulled Duan Tong back to the room, and then
After a lot of hard work, Duan Tong was subdued. However, Duan Tong would ask about this matter from time to time, and it was not until many years later that Duan Tong blushed when he thought about it, and at the same time, he kept scolding him in a petulant manner.
Said: "The bad guy is dead!".
Holding Duan Tong's hand, Li Ningyu stepped off the Yangtze River Cruiser No. 7, and then came to the villa in Shanghai under the escort of his own soldiers. For the next few days, Li Ningyu didn't leave the house, but many acquaintances came to the door.
, there is also a special guest, that is Smith, the US Minister to China, but Li Ningyu is not surprised, because as one of the world's major powers, the United States is naturally inextricably linked with the United Kingdom, and
Li Ningyu’s super military purchase order will definitely attract the attention of the United States and Britain.
At this time, the more Li Ningyu refused to let go, the more the United States and Britain believed that the matter was true, but they could not just sit there, because once Li Ningyu purchased a large number of warships from Germany, he would definitely give the United States and Britain a
There was a conflict of interest between China and China, and then the two countries began to meet with Li Ningyu. However, Li Ningyu always excused himself by saying that he was only helping North Korea's King Li Bin to purchase weapons and had nothing to do with the Qing Dynasty. No one could understand this statement.
Believe it, and Li Ningyu has no intention of needing their belief.
On the contrary, Li Ningyu's recent series of actions have put them in the mist, because these days, a large amount of food materials and seeds have been transported into Li Ningyu's major warehouses in Shanghai. At the same time, in order to appease the British,
Li Ningyu deliberately purchased 6 million worth of opium through the East India Company just before the crisis. Although the whereabouts of the opium purchased by Li Ningyu for the first time was unknown, but with huge benefits in front of him, the British still lowered their heads and could not help but wonder.
Continue to pester Li Ningyu.
But this time the Americans disagreed, because they still haven't figured out a thing, but by the time they figured it out, Li Ningyu had already left Shanghai on the Yangtze River No. 7 with ten large cargo ships, heading towards
Li Ningyu sailed to his private territory, his steel armor galloping on the sea, constantly moving forward. After sailing for about 5 hours, Li Ningyu arrived at the Pyongyang Military Port in North Korea. As one of the three major military ports in North Korea,
There were originally empty hills on both sides, but now there are more than a dozen German Lupp cannons on the left and right hills.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to completely ensure the safety of the military port without warships. Although it is a bit expensive, Li Ningyu has never cared about it, because the only things he considers are the interests of the country and the interests of the nation, and for
Li Ningyu, a famous family member, will never hesitate to throw his life and blood.
