After three and a half months and 108 days, the Second Italian-Egyptian War ended with the defeat of Ethiopia, although the Italians paid a lot of price, but finally occupied the entire territory of Ethiopia, and the capital Addis Ababa was taken down without blood because of the voluntary withdrawal of the remnants of the Egyptian army.

In the whole war, the Italian army paid a total of about 70,000 deaths, of which 50,000 died in the self-explosion of the Emerald Star, and the military and civilian casualties on the Ethiopian side were as high as more than one million, two-thirds of which died in crystal dust. Those cities are still off-limits, and no one wants to get even half a step closer.

After the war, Mussolini couldn't wait to inform the whole of Italy about this "great news"! Then, the day after the Italian army occupied Addis Ababa, the King of Italy proclaimed himself "Emperor of Ethiopia" and appointed Marshal Badoglio, who had made a meritorious contribution to the defeat of the enemy, as the Governor Plenipotentiary of Ethiopia. Immediately afterward, Italy announced the merger of Ethiopia, Italian Eritrea, and Italian Somalia into Italian East Africa, becoming a complete Italian colony.

I can't wait to swallow the fat meat that I just ate into my stomach, and the Italians are so anxious that they don't care about eating at all!

Not to mention that there has been no official consolation or compensation for the families of the 70,000 soldiers who died in battle, and there are still a large number of guerrillas active in Ethiopia, and the first phase of the war has just ended. Another thing that annoyed the Italian royal family and military was that in the duel with the Emerald Star, Italy's strongest giant soldier Caesar was hit hard because of his carelessness. If the driver had not been Mussoni's own daughter, he would have been court-martial long ago.

In that terrible explosion, the thick-skinned Caesar finally survived stubbornly, and although the explosion caused a lot of damage to him, his body was still able to move. Edda, who was almost steamed by the heat, flew back to the Italian camp in Caesar's embarrassment after the explosion, and as soon as the body hit the ground, he fell headlong due to the exhaustion of energy.

It was arguably the most serious wound Caesar had ever suffered since it was discovered by humans. Fortunately, the Titan Soldiers all have the ability to heal themselves, and as long as they are not completely destroyed, they can slowly repair themselves. But when the Italian maintenance personnel inspected the surface of the airframe, they found a new problem, that is, the cockpit canopy could not be opened!

The high temperature from the explosion of the Emerald Star melted some of the surface armor, and the cockpit canopy unfortunately merged with the surrounding armor, and the M alloy was notoriously hard! Humans have so far not been able to find a way to cut the metal, and at most they have made some shallow scratches on its surface. So Edda Mussolini found out tragically, she couldn't get out!

Fortunately, the radio in the cockpit was not broken, and Eda could still get in touch with the outside, and the Italian Titan experts said after the inspection that with Caesar's self-healing ability, this "small injury" on the armor could be recovered in 3~5 days. With emergency food and water in the cockpit, Eda should have no problem surviving the past few days, but another, more serious problem was already in front of her...... I can't stop urinating!

All right! Let's put aside Miss Edda's predicament first, at the same time, in Datang, Zhao Jian is also very busy.

Although Selassie I was not brought back to China as originally planned, Zhao Jian brought back the crown prince Asfa, who was better controlled than the emperor. For this reason, Dai Li praised Zhao Jian for being clever enough, praised him for a few words, and then temporarily added a task, that is, let him take care of these people for a period of time, and wait for him to make other arrangements.

"What about the cheater!?"

The moment he saw this temporary task, Zhao Jian jumped up from the chair and slammed the secret letter on the desk. Nima, this is not 5 or 6 people, he can arrange it by asking someone to clean a few guest rooms, 5 or 6 hundred people eat, drink, Lasa and sleep, he Zhao Jian is not distressed about this money, but he can't afford to make this heart!

As soon as the Hydrangea returned to China, Zhao Jian first arranged for the crown prince Asfa and the Duke of Murujita to live in his house, and then seized the time to contact Dai Li. As for the rest of the Ethiopian government personnel and the Royal Guards, they can only stay on the ship for the time being. Zhao Jian couldn't arrange for them to go ashore too, especially the 500 Royal Forest Army, if someone with ulterior motives found out, he could be accused of "attempting rebellion", and when Zhao Jian wanted to explain, it would have to take a lot of trouble.

I thought it would be a few days at most, but I didn't expect Dai Li to "drop the chain" at a critical time!

At this time, Zhao Jian didn't know about Lu Dao, something went wrong in Chang'an, and he didn't know who leaked the news from Lu Dao, and the old-fashioned school led by the Great Prince knew that Lingzong wanted to meddle in East Africa. For this reason, the eldest prince entered the palace to ask, and Lingzong, who didn't want to fall out with the other party, could only pretend to be stupid and say that he didn't know what to do, and then let Dai Li think of a way behind his back.

So, while arranging for people to spread suspicions in Guangzhou and Shanghai to confuse the eyes of the old school, Dai Li also informed Zhao Jian to take a good look at people and not to be discovered. This time it was hard for Zhao Jian, so he could only think of a way.

It stands to reason that the best way at this time is to send the "superfluous" people away, and the more weighty one is a crown prince Asfa, even the Duke of Murujita is dispensable. But Zhao Jian didn't want to do anything to destroy mutual trust, let alone say to them that Datang would not directly support them openly, so this matter was very difficult to do.

"Young Master, why don't you send these people to the Jupiter colony?"

After a little glance at the secret letter, Hongling took the initiative to suggest to Zhao Jian.

"People can ...... Wait a minute! If you don't know it, it's really fine! ”

Suddenly thinking of a "good idea", Zhao Jian got up and kissed Hongling's head fiercely, and then quickly ran to the guest room where Prince Asfa was staying, and told the other party the idea he had just thought of.

"Form a Restoration Army?"

"That's right! Raise a Restoration Army to prepare for a future counteroffensive. ”

Zhao Jian's words made Asfa a little unable to react for a while, but Duke Murujita somewhat understood what he meant.

"Mr. Zhuge , what do you mean by let's form a new army overseas?"

"That's what it means! Since the start of the war in Ethiopia, black brothers from all over the world are eager to fly over to help you fight! If Your Highness the Crown Prince is willing to respond to their calls and organize and arm these hot-blooded elements, it will surely become a force to be reckoned with. I can try to convince the high-level of the Tang Dynasty to lease you a place to be used as a military camp in the vast and sparsely populated Jupiter, where the Italians can't reach their hands and train with peace of mind. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Jian added another sentence out of the professionalism of an arms dealer.

"I can provide you with weapons for a fair price!"

PS: In the afternoon, someone suddenly introduced a blind date, so I went to the fart, sorry for the late update (cover your face and escape)......
