During the civil war in Somalia, the Far East Army went very smoothly. It took only three days to completely crush all the Italian troops in northern Somalia. The number of casualties was relatively small. A total of more than 23,000 Italian army soldiers were captured and weapons were seized.
Countless ammunition was provided, and two Italian light cruisers and seven small surface ships were seized here.
However, the fighting in Ethiopia was fierce, but at this time it was surrounded on three sides, with no logistical supplies and no reinforcements. It was also surrounded by the Far East Army and the Ethiopian Army that were several times larger than itself. Finally, on December 18, Italy
The 100,000-strong Italian expeditionary force invading Ethiopia suffered more than 30,000 casualties and more than 50,000 people surrendered. At the same time, the Somali Civil War and the Ethiopian-Italian War ended.
Representatives of various countries then forced Italy to conclude an armistice with Ethiopia in Addis Ababa on December 26, 1890, and recognized Ethiopia as an independent African country and paid an indemnity of 10 million lire. Ethiopia's victory in the Patriotic War against Italy was
It was also the first time that an African army completely defeated a dominant imperialist army.
In the frenzy of carving up Africa, Ethiopia became the only country to resist foreign aggression and maintain national independence through a victorious national war. It set an example and banner of heroic struggle for the African people. However, when the contract was signed, Menelik
The Second World War did not forget their ally in the Far East. Subsequently, the two regions held comprehensive cooperation, especially in economic construction, which reached an unprecedented height.
Subsequently, affected by Ethiopia's victory in the war of aggression against Italy, the people of Egypt and Sudan in Africa began to prepare for large-scale uprisings. Several outbreaks against French colonial expansion also broke out in West Africa. The people of Uganda and Kenya in East Africa resisted the British in various forms.
Invasion, the largest one was the armed struggle against Germany in Tanganyika. The Tanzanian people held the famous Maji Uprising. The flames of the struggle burned from Dar es Salaam to the south of Kilosa, and from Kilo to the south.
The entire area east of Lake Malawi finally merged into a huge torrent of African national liberation.
However, just after the signing of the contract between Ethiopia and Italy, the issue of the Far East and Italy also began to attract the attention of various countries. At this time, the entire territory of Somalia was controlled by the Far East. However, Italy did not seem to be prepared to negotiate with the Far East, but continued to send personnel to lobby in various countries.
, wanted all countries to send troops, everything seemed to be changing quietly, and then the Paris Conference led by France was held.
As the strength of the Asian continent, the Far East developed rapidly through the early training of Germany. Later, it joined the British circle and was attracted by Tsarist Russia. At this time, they were already one of the forces that cannot be ignored in the world.
In particular, the combat effectiveness of the army can definitely be ranked among the top five in the world.
On the first day of the meeting, Bismarck, the Far East representative, handed over a 56-page list of war reparations to the Italian representatives. After three long days of careful reading, the representatives from various countries were dumbfounded because the Far East actually asked Italy to pay 20 million pounds in compensation.
, and then after continuous bargaining, the two sides finally reached a compensation of 2.3 million pounds. However, when Italy finally proposed to release the prisoners and return the warship, the Far East refused.
However, after several confrontations, Bismarck, who was negotiating in Paris on behalf of the Far East, did not pay attention to the Italian representatives at the meeting. In addition, the Italian King Umberto I, who originally hated Bismarck, took the option of continuing to negotiate in Paris.
The domestic conscription strategy suddenly plunged the situation into a quagmire. The Paris Conference was suspended, and Italy and the Far East began a two-year military expansion competition. However, this behavior of the two countries made the five empires very happy, because the large amount of arms sales and trade could not
avoid.
After completely taking possession of the entire territory of Somalia, the 80,000 Italian soldiers who were originally captured were arranged to undergo labor reform at various construction sites. The warships originally detained were directly transformed into the Somali Navy Fleet in Far East Africa. In the following three years,
, while the Far East was heavily preparing for war with Italy, at the same time it began to make every effort to build New Northern Somalia.
In two years, the original Far East African Army has expanded to 8 field armies with 240,000 people, 3 national defense forces and an armed police force with 100,000 people. In the past two years, many big changes have taken place around the world.

In 1891, in the 17th year of Guangxu's reign, there were five major rebellions against church forces. An announcement was made about the demolition of a church by foreigners, nearly ten thousand people gathered, besieged the British Consulate, and burned down the residences of foreign customs personnel. In the end, the cases were settled with compensation from the Qing government.
But afterwards, the envoys of the nine countries in China, Britain, France, the United States, Italy, Belgium, Germany, Russia, Japan, and Spain, negotiated with the Qing government. British and French warships sailed to Yichang, and Britain, Germany, Russia, and Italy were stationed in Hankou.
Warships regularly conduct joint artillery "exercises", and the Marine Corps "drills" in the concession to threaten force.
In 1891, six main warships of the Qing government's Beiyang Fleet set off to visit Japan. This was the second time they were invited to visit the Japanese island after the Nagasaki incident.
In September 1892, the first batch of four battleships from the four major shipyards in Somalia, Far East Africa, were launched. Li Ningyu personally led the Far East high-level officials to board the ships for testing. When the 13,200-ton Taishan-class battleship's 10 305mm triple main guns fired a salvo,
The 300-ton target ship 25 nautical miles away was directly sunk into the sea. Then the three light cruisers were tested for maneuverability and firepower. Li Ningyu announced that he would hold a celebration banquet in vain. At the banquet, Li Ningyu and Duan Tongge were killed.
Countless glasses of wine were poured down.
But that night, a fleet left the waters of Somalia, Africa, and that was the Second Fleet. Although the Taishan-class battleships had powerful firepower, their speed was very slow. In order to prevent the surrounding powers from discovering this matter, Li Ningyu ordered that they set sail that night.
Heading to Asia, the Second Fleet also departed with the newly printed Asian Yuan and the Second and Fourth Expeditionary Armies.
After the banquet, Li Ningyu and Duan Tong returned to their residence and pushed away several girls who were taking care of Duan Tong. Li Ningyu sat on Duan Tong's bed, then patted the edge of the bed next to him and said to Duan Tong maliciously: "Baby!
Come on! I'm going to eat you today, and no one will ever disrupt our good deeds again."
Duan Tongge's pink face turned red and she said slightly: "Didn't you say you would marry me first, in the bridal chamber? You forgot!".
But Li Ningyu seemed to be determined today. Then he stood up and walked towards Duan Tong. Then his chest almost touched her breasts. He lowered his hands and kissed her pink lips. Duan Tong, who originally wanted to prick her with a needle,
After reacting enthusiastically for a while, her delicate body began to twist unbearably with the stimulation, and she gradually couldn't stand the teasing and gasped in confusion: "Brother Yu! No!".
