At this time, Africa.
The Italians attacked Axum, a country established by Africans on the Ethiopian plateau.
Surprisingly, he was not beaten, but was blasted by the Aksumites.
This is simply a shame for the European powers, a country that has experienced the industrial revolution and has reached a very high level of strong ships and cannons.
They were actually facing a backward serfdom country whose technological level was still at the level of the past and were defeated.
This is simply a shame for Europeans.
The Italian generals returned to their country in despair, never mentioning the colonial affairs again.
After Dawn learned about Italy's disastrous defeat in Africa, he was glad that he did not really join forces with the other party. Otherwise, the French army might be engraved on the pillar of shame.
However, as France's most important colony, Egypt has been dismembered by Long Yan and the Egyptian rebel army. Daun must find a way to find a colony on the Mediterranean coast to ensure his influence in Africa.
France is a country along the Mediterranean Sea. If they want to acquire and support colonies in Africa, the fastest way is through the Mediterranean Sea. However, France currently has no Mediterranean ports in Africa.
The Suez Canal is also under Long Yan's control, if Long Yan deliberately blocks the Suez Canal.
They will also lose a lot of resources. For this reason, France must ensure that it has ports in Africa.
Dawn set her sights on Algeria in Africa.
A country in North Africa, their Mediterranean coast was once the territory of the Ottoman Empire spanning three countries in Asia, Europe and Africa.
But now, Ottoman's strength has declined and this place has been taken back.
Dawn felt that this would be a good start. It was located on the Mediterranean coast, had many good ports, and the geographical location was also very advantageous.
Covered by deserts and forests, although water resources are scarce, the tribes here have not fully exploited the resources on the land.
More importantly, because of the barrier of the Sahara Desert, there is also a natural defense line for the Arab League region, and the same is true for the Long Yan Army.
This has nothing to do with Long Yan's interests.
Turning this place into a French colony is one of the best options.
After thinking of this, Dawn immediately submitted his plan. He wanted to reopen colonies in Africa!
…
At this time, the Arab Tribal Alliance, Nashadir, was elected as the leader of the alliance.
The ruling phalanx fully cooperated with Long Yan.
Such behavior is approved by the majority and opposed by the minority.
The party that agrees believes that based on the current situation in Egypt and surrounding tribes, full cooperation with Long Yan can ensure their protection.
And it can accelerate Egypt's development.
After all, Jiang Xuan is willing to help them build the Aswan Dam, which is very expensive but does not get much return.
It can only be used in the major process of solving Egypt's water shortage, agricultural irrigation and other problems.
These are things that Egypt needs to urgently solve, but it is basically impossible for them to build a century-old project like the Aswan High Dam alone.
Their current level and economic level simply do not have this capability.
Without relying on Long Yan, there would be no way to solve these problems.
It is already very rare for them that Long Yan can agree to such an aid project. Under such circumstances, what reason do they have to refuse?
On the other side, those who disagree believe that the current governing measures rely too much on Long Yan.
If the time comes, it will be easy for Long Yan to control Egypt and their government.
However, in their opinion, these thoughts are completely unnecessary to worry about.
After all, the Arab Tribal Alliance is now very poor, and their resources are not scarce enough.
Except for the Suez Canal, which is still somewhat useful, there is nothing worthy of Long Yan's attention in other places.
Anyway, the Suez Canal is now in the hands of Long Yan, so it is better to simply cooperate with Long Yan.
However, such behavior was criticized as traitorous behavior.
People on both sides were quarreling in Congress.
Nashadir pinched his painful brow and looked at the two groups of people arguing. He didn't know how to mediate.
There is no problem in letting him lead the troops on the march, but letting him be civilized...
"That's enough, cooperate with Long Yan, this is our original national policy!"
Nashadir slammed the table, making a loud noise to calm everyone, and roared.
The two groups of people suddenly became quiet, but Nashadir knew that this was only temporary.
Next time the two groups will quarrel again.
He looked at everyone and said earnestly: "I hope you understand that a large part of the reason why we are sitting here safely is because of the assistance of the Longyan people."
"Without them, we might not even be liberated from France yet."
"And the Longyan people support us in building the Aswan Dam. This project is beneficial to the Egyptian people. It has no value to the Longyan people, but they are willing to assist us. This is enough to illustrate the deep friendship between us. .”
"We cooperated with Long Yan, and they didn't ask for anything from us. It can even be said to be a loss-making business."
"But we got a lot, and I hope you can understand."
After these words, everyone fell into silence.
Finally, the leader of a tribe spoke to Long: "Can Yan guarantee that we will not be interfered with by them in the future?"
"Longyan is just an alliance with us." Nashadir responded.
The tribal chief nodded, looked at the others, and said loudly: "Everyone, I think it is necessary to cooperate with Long Yan now."
"Egypt needs to be developed, and don't forget that the current Egypt is not complete. The British colonial government has supported Farouk as our emperor of Egypt."
"If we don't rely on Dragon Flame, do we need to face the British army alone?"
Everyone fell silent. They all knew that they needed to unite when facing a powerful enemy.
"Chief Sugra, no need to say more, we know what to do."
"Commander Nashadir, we agree with your plan to fully cooperate with Longyan and allow the Longyan people to build a military base here and other measures."
Nashadir nodded slightly and looked at Chief Sugra who was rescuing him.
After beating away the French, they rescued the previously captured chief. When they saw Chief Sugra, they were all surprised.
Thinking that the other party had died in the purges of France.
But I didn't expect that the other party lost a leg, but kept a life.
After the meeting, Nashadir thanked Sugra: "Thank you for your decision."
Sugra waved his hand and said: "This is all your credit. It is a blessing to cooperate with Long Yan, and I should be the one to thank you."
"By the way, I heard that you are going to marry the little girl from the Azik family. When will the wedding be held?"
