"The vanguard has blocked the Italians' retreat route under the guidance of the reconnaissance team …"
"The main force has entered the camp area …"
"The artillery is in place …"
"The attack camp is ready …"
…
The attack of the allied forces was going according to plan, and the Italians were still unaware of the impending disaster. Wei Kun was not surprised even though he was not at the front line. Now that Europe had started to have planes, those toys were nothing compared to the Min dynasty's reconnaissance planes. Even so, the Min dynasty's latest plane had barely exceeded the 3,500-meter altitude limit and was barely able to fly on the Ethiopian plateau.
The war thousands of miles away was not something Wei Kun could control. The system also required Wei Kun not to interfere. Wei Kun asked calmly, "What do you think the future Ethiopian agent should have?"
"Future agent?" The group of young people looked surprised. The military commander asked in surprise, "Is there a problem with the current emperor?"
"The problem with the old emperor is that he will die," Wei Kun answered calmly. From everyone's expression, it could be seen that they were all stunned. Wei Kun continued to say calmly, "The current emperor is firmly against foreign aggression. The war at this stage needs his leadership. But our doctor thinks that the old emperor has at most ten years left to live. You don't think this war will last ten years, do you? "
No matter how unreasonable Wei Kun's words were, Wei Kun had directly pointed out the crux of the problem. The comrades had no choice but to accept it. One by one, the young people participated in the discussion.
Everyone knew that if Ethiopia became a socialist country, it would be most beneficial for the East African region. However, Wei Kun had to admit that those who insisted that Ethiopia could become a socialist country in the short term were either idealists or idealists. In general, they could be classified as the childishness of the left. There were also slightly younger comrades who said stupid things like invisible colonization of Ethiopia.
Just as Wei Kun felt that he was gradually losing patience, the comrade from the Ministry of Civil Affairs said, "Why do we have to use how to control Ethiopia as our goal? Even if it is control, even if it is plunder, we only want Ethiopia's labor force. We don't need their territory, we don't need their fake labor, we just need Ethiopian labor. If he can satisfy this requirement, we might as well consider supporting him. "
Wei Kun's eyes lit up. The young comrade's point of view was very accurate. Wei Kun decided that this comrade would be in charge of the exchange work in Ethiopia. Of course, the system still had to be followed, and Wei Kun couldn't just say whatever he wanted. What's more, the discussion was still ongoing. They had to finish discussing this issue.
During the discussion, they received a telegram saying that the Allied Forces had begun to launch a fierce attack on the capital of Eritrea, Asmara. The comrades only listened for a while before continuing to discuss the requirements for the next Ethiopian leader. This issue was not finished after one day of discussion, so they continued the discussion the next day. When the exhaustion method was almost exhausted, and everyone had no choice but to admit that the extraction of labor was the most fundamental and correct method of extraction, a new telegram arrived. After a day and a night of fierce fighting, the 50,000 allied troops annihilated 10,000 Italian troops. The telegram briefly mentioned that the Italian army showed a firm will to fight, but the disadvantage of the Italian army in terms of manpower and equipment made it impossible for the Italians to win from the beginning.
The victory of the war made the comrades of the East African administrative region very happy, but only happy. In the eyes of the Min dynasty, Italy was a weak chicken. In fact, after taking care of the United States, the Min dynasty thought that there was no one in Europe who was not a weak chicken. As for how weak Europe was, the Min dynasty was too lazy to test them one by one. In addition, the comrades of East Africa were more suspicious that this was only the first stage. What would France and Italy choose next? Would they be angry and disregard everything? Everyone was not sure.
At this time, Asmara was filled with thunderous cheers. Among the 70,000 Ethiopian allied troops, the horizontal green, yellow, and red flags were waved crazily by the soldiers. The Ethiopian flag, printed from silk by the East African administrative region, was particularly eye-catching with its elegant posture and bright colors.
The Italian army, which had 10,000 people a day ago, was now only left with a few hundred people. Everyone was trembling with fear. At first, the black troops engaged in a battle of fire with them. After a series of battles, they tore open the Italian defense system. Armed with spears, swords, and spears, the melee troops swarmed through the gap and killed the Italian army until they cried for their parents. Most of the Italian troops were killed by the fierce melee troops. Only a few hundred lucky people survived.
The Ethiopian army let this group of people take the Italian army's flag and flag and surrender to the Emperor of Ethiopia, Menelik II, in front of a makeshift stage. There were several black people carrying several cameras filming. There were also many black people carrying cameras filming.
The Italian prisoners of war endured the strong fear and humiliation, lined up in front of the stage, and presented the Italian red, white, and green flag to the Emperor of Ethiopia, Menelik II, standing under the stage. At the end of the line, the Italian soldiers carried a few stretchers, the stretchers were covered with white cloth. In front of the stage, the stretchers stopped. Lifting the white cloth, below were the commanders of the Italian army. They were all killed by the hot-blooded Ethiopian soldiers.
After the surrender ceremony, the Emperor of Ethiopia gave a speech to the seventy thousand troops on the stage. The whole surrender process took more than an hour. Precious photos and movie information were quickly developed and organized. The footage after the end of the Asmara battle, plus the parts that had been filmed before, made an Ethiopian perspective documentary about the Asmara battle called "Plateau Empire". More than a dozen copies were sent to Europe along with propaganda materials in English, French, and German.
Just as the Min dynasty expected, when the news of the defeat of Asmara reached Rome, the Italian Prime Minister and the cabinet immediately announced their resignation. The French were also stunned by the sudden change in the situation. Germany and Austria both announced that they would send official ambassadors to discuss the establishment of formal diplomatic relations with Ethiopia. Hungary sent a telegram, praising Ethiopia's righteous victory in the anti-invasion war.
The boring Europe soon had an Ethiopian craze. The film "Plateau Empire" happened to let the curious Europeans see Ethiopia. Knowing that Ethiopia was not an African emirate, but a Christian country with three thousand years of history recorded in the Bible, the European people's attitude towards Ethiopia changed completely.
The Min dynasty's researchers did their homework. The film specifically talked about the Vatican's division of religions. Ethiopia's Eastern Sect had a long history. Although the Eastern Sect was not recognized by the Holy See, it was a Christian sect that was older than the Holy See. Even the Vatican did not consider the ancient Eastern religion to be heretical.
To the upper class of Europe, massacres between Christian sects were normal. To the European people, this was the first time they knew that Ethiopia was a genuine Christian country. This made Ethiopia immediately become one of their own in the eyes of the Europeans, or at least a distant relative.
In the following days, some people deliberately guided, some people simply followed the trend, and some people wanted to publish articles to earn money. The discussion of Ethiopia as a Christian country took up many pages. There were also ambassadors from various countries and a group of travelers and explorers who went to Ethiopia.
The common people of Europe found a distant religious cousin, Ethiopia, and were excited. The Hungarians also found out that they had a distant relative in Asia called China. They were also moved. Of course, the future Min dynasty was officially stationed in the new country of Crete. The linear distance from Hungary was not as far as Europe and Christianity's distant relative, Ethiopia.
During this chaotic time, the Frankberg Emperor Chuunibyou II held an imperial conference. It was not only a group of high-ranking officials, but also Marx Webber and several experts. William II went straight to the point. "Ministers, can our intelligence system confirm that it was black people who defeated the Italians?" William II went straight to the point. "Zhu, can our intelligence system confirm that it was a black man who defeated the Italians?"
William II went straight to the point. "Ministers, can our intelligence system confirm that it was black people who defeated the Italians?" Even though it was proven that Ethiopia was actually from southern Arabia thousands of years ago, it did not change the Emperor's mind. The officials all looked at the Foreign Affairs Minister. Although the Foreign Affairs Minister did not agree with William II's statement, he was still calm. As soon as he received the news of Italy's defeat, he immediately sent diplomats stationed in the Osman Empire. As a result, they arrived in Asmara before the Ethiopian Emperor withdrew his troops. He met Emperor Menelik II and saw the black 70,000 troops. When the Ethiopians drove the prisoners of war to dig a pit to bury nearly ten thousand Italian dead, he even gave the Italians a bunch of flowers he picked randomly. He also took a photo as a souvenir.
"Those black people did destroy the Italian army in the siege." The Foreign Affairs Minister stated the facts objectively.
William II withdrew his gaze from the Foreign Affairs Minister and turned to the people in the imperial conference. "I read the report. The Ethiopian army's training and equipment are not as good as our black troops in the African colonies. In the next few years, we may gather more than 200,000 black troops, and our population in Africa will also exceed 500,000, or even more. If a war breaks out in Africa, it will not be a problem for France to be unable to take care of Africa. If this black army can reach the Mediterranean coast of North Africa, will the French sit back and do nothing? They will definitely be forced to divide their troops … "
A group of officials and experts sat down to listen to the Emperor's point of view. Some people tried to object, but the objection was not accepted by Emperor William II. The Emperor used the unique persistence of a chuunibyou to talk about how correct his judgment of the future was. He did not consider how far the Frankberg colonies in Africa were from the Mediterranean region of North Africa.
After some arguments and debates, when William II made it clear that he would not invest more resources in the African colonies, the people in the palace turned their attention to Marx Webber, who was responsible for formulating the African colonial system. Professor Weber and the others. When the other professors heard William II's request, they all lowered their heads. It was still acceptable to expect the Africans to defeat the Africans, but this chuunibyou emperor only knew about a war and immediately had the idea of letting the Africans defeat the Europeans. He was so insistent on it. The Emperor could insist on such a bold idea, but the professors could not.
Ignoring the expressions of his colleagues, Marx Webber said loudly. "Your Majesty, I think if we adjust the system, there is a chance to gather 300,000 troops and launch an attack on the surrounding French colonies and even the British colonies."
