PS: 6000 words big chapter asking for votes!

............................................................

June 21, Republic 2781 (1940), Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Addis Ababa is a very new city, founded by Menerik II in 1886, just over 50 years ago. Directly north of the city is the Ntota Mountains at an altitude of 3,000 meters, and the city is located on a foothill terrace surrounded by mountains, and at 2,400 meters above sea level, it is the highest city in Africa.

In the local Tigray language, "Addis Ababa" means "fresh flowers". However, at this time, this "flower" is smoking. That's right, it's really smoking, the whole city is surrounded by flames and smoke, the palace, the prime minister's residence, the government building, and even the army headquarters are all in flames, and the whole city is in shambles, corpses and blood everywhere, gunshots, cannons, explosions, shouts and screams in various languages, these scenes are mixed together to form a picture of Shura's hell.

"Bastards, bastards, bastards!" the current Emperor of the country, Haile Selassie I, saw all this with tears in his eyes, and only felt his heart twisted, and howled with a cry: "Wolves!

"Your Majesty, let's hurry up, or it will be too late. The rebels are about to storm the mountain......" said the chief of the guard anxiously.

"Bastards! bastards! What about the British? Why didn't they come and stop this?" said Selassie I, thinking of his English thigh.

"Your Majesty, behind this incident, there is the shadow of the British......" The chief of the guard said patiently: "Quick, send Your Majesty to the helicopter ......"

Regardless of whether Selassie I wanted it or not, a group of guards rushed over and drove him onto the helicopter.

"Buzz ......"

At this time, three Chinese-made Z-2 "Pegasus" utility helicopters had already warmed up their engines, and as soon as the royal family members came in, they took off immediately.

“...... Woo woo, Your Majesty, look at our Guangming Palace......" At this time, Empress Meng Lun burst into tears.

Selassie I hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see that the palace in the lower city, which had been built for less than ten years, had been completely shrouded in fireworks, and he could faintly see that there was fighting inside, and there was also the sound of rumbling cannons. In this way, even if it is not completely broken, it is almost reimbursed.

This imperial palace was built with a loan from China at that time, and it is a very beautiful palace complex with a combination of Eastern and Western styles. At that time, Chinese designers came up with a large number of renderings and models of various palaces for him to choose from, and he chose the scheme in the style of the Old Summer Palace at a glance and named it Guangming Palace. But now it seems that the fate of this Guangming Palace is similar to that of its copycat object, the difference is only that one was burned by foreigners and the other was burned by its own people.

Although Selassie I is a little second, he is not Nero, and of course he will not run to his capital to play. Now this situation means only one thing, a coup d'état.

That's right, there was a coup d'état in Ethiopia today. And it's not just one side that is coup d'état, it's two. One side was the pro-Entente Entente, and the other was the pro-Confederate faction.

Originally, the Entente had the upper hand in this country and controlled most of the government departments and the army, but because of the disastrous defeat of the Egyptian army on the front line, the Entente faction suffered a heavy setback, and the leader of its faction, the Ethiopian General Staff, Darego, was killed, and the Entente faction was now leaderless. As a result, the allies, who had been weak, took the opportunity to make trouble, and they demanded peace with the allies, but the Entente refused to do so. So it was a fuss.

In fact, although Selassie I has always been a wall-to-wall, he still favored the Entente more often. But on this plane, he did not have a chance to resist Italy, did not have enough prestige, and could not control more troops. His influence at the grassroots level was originally much lower than that of the same period in the original time and space, coupled with the fiasco at the front, his prestige was even lower, so his words had no effect. In addition, he wanted to play a balance before, not only retained the pro-Chinese Workers' Party, but also deliberately supported the allies of light Germany, and this platoon also mastered considerable force. His gameplay is fine in normal times, but now this time has made Ethiopia's political situation even worse.

When the two sides quarreled, he couldn't control the situation at all, and today, the two sides finally fought, and it became what it is now.

"Where are we going, Your Majesty?" asked the chief of the guard.

"Where are you going?" Selassie I, stunned for a moment, only to realize that he really had nowhere to go.

On the one hand, the Germans thought that he was hindering the Allies from ruling and wanted to get him. And on the other hand, the British, who he thinks are thighs, are going to him now. Because the British think that he is a grass on the wall, especially in the current situation, they can't help him continue to eat two, so they are ready to change to a more obedient one. "Pit teammates" is a glorious tradition of the opium cow, an ancestral stunt, something like this they have done in Europe many times before, and it is nothing to do it again now.

There were people on both sides of the family, and England and Germany each chose a prince to support, and if Selassie I dared to go to these places, he would be in the net. Even if the British and Germans considered that the image would only make him abdicate and not kill him, his uncles and brothers would not be polite to him in order to secure the throne.

Moreover, the legitimacy of Selassie I was inherently insufficient, and the means of ascending to the throne were not glamorous enough. He was originally only the son of Duke Maconnan, the half-brother of Menelik II, and according to the normal order, it would not have been his turn to be emperor at all.

At that time, he also tried his best to become emperor, and after receiving the support of the reformers, he deposed his nephew, Emperor Eyyasu. He also appointed Eyassou's mother, Zorditu, as emperor and regent himself, and then let his cousin and nephew "die" and ascend to the throne himself. staged an African version of "Candlelight Axe Shadow". Therefore, the legitimacy of Selassie I was not recognized by most people, and now in order to support the prince on his side, Yingde has created public opinion, claiming that Selassie I is a "murderer".

As long as Selassie I thought about how he had ascended to the throne, he had no hope for his cousins and nephews.

He shuddered at the thought of his cousin's tragic death from illness. With the discipline of his two relatives, I am afraid that he will also concoct the same method and let his whole family "die".

In particular, the one supported by the Germans, the widow of another cousin who had been killed in the rebellion, was even more unlikely to let him go. As for how the Germans found the goods, and whether the dude was true or not, it doesn't matter anymore. The important thing is that if he falls into the hands of the Germans, the prince will definitely let his whole family "die", whether it is the fake prince to cover up the truth, or the real prince to take revenge.

As for the prince supported by the British, it would be even more difficult to go, and it would be even worse if he went. Because the old man was another son of his cousin, and both his parents and brother died at his hands...... If it weren't for the pretense back then, and the tribal power of the former imperial husband was too strong, Selassie would definitely not have left this guy, but it's too late to regret it now.

Hey, there is no way, Selassie was killing people in order to ascend the throne and to sit on the throne, with shit on his buttocks, blood on his hands, and enemies all over the country. Moreover, the emperor of Ethiopia is not the same as the emperor in the Chinese sense, and it is more appropriate to be the leader of the tribal alliance than the emperor. The country is very powerful in the tribal power, and the leaders of the major tribes are usually hereditary governors, governors, generals, and other high-ranking officials. How loyal are these people to him? Let's talk about the weather.

If it was before, it didn't matter, but now when it's time to go, who knows whether those leaders and elders will send charcoal in the snow or fall into the well.

"Your Majesty, why don't we go to Djibouti, no, Yanqiu. Empress Meng Lun said weakly.

The queen's family was also very prominent, and her father was the head of a powerful clan in the country, Prince Michael of Volo Province. But his prince's father's territory is in the northwest, and the distance is relatively far. The Pegasus helicopter has a limited range, and now it may not be able to fly, let alone prevent the rebel aircraft from intercepting it. It's not that the rebels don't know where the queen's maiden home is, and heavy troops will definitely be deployed in the western direction to intercept it.

Now it seems that only Yanqiu is relatively close, and those rebels will definitely not dare to chase after it.

"Okay, let's go to the Chinese!" Selassie I was also a decisive man, and immediately ordered the pilot to turn in the direction of Yanqiu.

"Your Majesty, Chinese have bad intentions toward us as well...... "The Chief of the Guard reminded.

"Hey, I can't do it now. At most, the Chinese just want the Workers' Party, which they support, to take power, and that's nothing. The other two sides want my life...... "Selassie I is also a veteran politician, of course, he knows that there is no free lunch in the world, and the benefits of Chinese are not so easy to take.

Of course, compared to the complete shamelessness of Britain and Germany, the Chinese eat at least much better. Even if he is asked to establish a constitution, at least he can keep the name and status of the whole family. Even if the power is gone, the wealth of several generations can still be guaranteed. Didn't you see how nourishing the life of the White Russian Tsar is now?

Selassie I's helicopter immediately spun around and flew towards Yanqiu, to the northeast. The straight-line distance from Addis Ababa to Yanqiu is about 650 kilometers, which is exactly within the range of Pegasus, and it takes about three hours to fly there.

As the burning city moved away, Selassie I calmed down.

"When we arrive at Yanqiu, you immediately contact Prince Michael, I will make these traitors regret it!" He confessed to his wife, Empress Menglun: "Don't the Chinese want those people from the Workers' Party to come to power? Yes, as long as they are willing to help me, I will appoint Tsaume of the Workers' Party as prime minister." ”

About three hours later, they were close to the Sino-Egyptian border, and they could already see the city of Yanqiu from the helicopter. Ribbon-like highways wind through the mountains and hills, with many cars like ants rushing back and forth on them, and the countless high-rise buildings in the city all show that this is a thriving place. Of course, it is prosperous, this is China's largest copper mine and copper smelting base, as well as the largest salt chemical base in the west, or China's only port in Africa, it is difficult to think of prosperity.

"Great, we finally arrived in China safely!" said the chief of the guard with a smile: "Your Majesty, China's air force is the first in the world, and the rebels will never dare to catch ......up."

I don't know what this chief guard has to do with powerful beings such as Bei Crow and Squid Liu, anyway, as soon as he finished speaking, two fighters of the Ethiopian Air Force chased after him from behind.

"Spitfire!" it's the rebels!" the pilot screamed in horror.

Selassie looked at it, and his face turned pale. In order to balance the relationship with the major powers, the Ethiopian Air Force was equipped with aircraft from China, Britain and Germany, and the Spitfire was used, which was undoubtedly the aircraft of the Entente rebels.

As soon as the two Spitfires approached, they opened fire unceremoniously.

The four chains ......of fire were like hell's scythes, hitting a helicopter next to it on the spot. The 20-mm cannon accurately hit the fuel tank of that helicopter, and the unlucky helicopter suddenly turned into a large fireball in a matter of seconds and fell to the ground.

"Asfa!" Empress Meng Lun let out a heart-rending scream. It was the landline of the crown prince Asfa and his wife, and now it seems that the family will be broken into a patty if it does not turn into barbecue.

The helicopter in which the other guard was riding desperately turned its direction in an attempt to block the enemy aircraft. But it was also in vain, and in less than two minutes the helicopter also fell.

"Quick, why haven't you contacted the Chinese yet?" The chief of the guard was so anxious that he was about to explode, urging the communications officer vigorously. At first, in order not to reveal their whereabouts, they kept their radio silent and did not dare to contact China. Now in a hurry, of course, not so fast.

The communications officer was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and after a while, he finally exclaimed in surprise: "Your Majesty, I have been contacted!"

“...... Now you are about to enter the airspace of the People's Republic of China, if you need to enter, please identify yourself immediately, or turn immediately!" a stern voice sounded over the intercom.

Selassie I and his wife and the chief of the guard had blank expressions, they could not understand Chinese......

Fortunately, there was a secretary general who was proficient in Chinese beside them, and the secretary general hurriedly rushed over, picked up the intercom, and shouted in Chinese: "Help! Help! Come and save us! We are the Ethiopian royal plane, His Majesty the Emperor is on the plane, we are being chased by the rebels, please come to the rescue quickly! The situation is extremely critical, help!"

"......" The one on the other side was obviously thundered, and there was a sound of falling in the intercom, and it took several seconds for an older voice to say: "I am Major General Huang Gongluo, commander of the 19th Division of the Chinese People's Air Force, please hold on first, our fighters are coming! They are still three minutes away from you......"

In fact, these three helicopters have long been discovered by China's radar, but the Chinese side did not take it seriously, after all, they have not yet entered China's territory, and they are still unarmed helicopters at first glance. When it was discovered that the three helicopters were getting closer and closer, they had already entered the approach of the border for 100 kilometers, and two Ethiopian Air Force fighters came from behind. The Chinese side felt that something was wrong, so they immediately took off four fighter jets to check it out.

........................................................................

Air Force Command.

Huang Gongluo, who was talking to the other party just now, raised his head, picked up another microphone, and gave an order to the fighter in the air: "Little Bird 02, Little Bird 02, I am the Bird's Nest, you immediately approach the target at full speed, protect the helicopter with all your might, and you can attack the opponent's fighter ......"

Huang Gongluo thought to himself: At the current distance, if our plane passes at full speed, it will only take less than three minutes. The top wants to engage in Ethiopia, and now if we rescue their emperor, we will take the initiative. Haha, this is a good thing from heaven!

Before he could finish his sentence, another voice interjected.

“...... Bird 02, I'm Kim Hae, the previous order was cancelled. You just rush over at cruising speed, you don't have to protect the helicopter......"

"Ah, yes, Commander Kim, let's slow down to cruising speed right away, we don't have to protect the helicopter......" The pilot was stunned for a moment, but he immediately decided to obey the orders of his higher-level superiors.

"Commander, this is a great opportunity!" Huang Gong was slightly taken aback and hurriedly said.

"Hahahaha, what kind of opportunity is this?" Jin Hai smiled evilly: "If this emperor dies, the boss will be even happier." You see, how good it is now, we don't have to do it ourselves, the British solved the problem......"

Huang Gong was a little dazed: "Commander, if the emperor is saved, we can respect the Son of Heaven and order the unsubordinate......"

"Respect the Son of Heaven to order not to be a minister, let alone what kind of Son of Heaven is the lord of a small country?" Jin Hai smiled and said: "Your idea is very good, but this emperor is not Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, he is a good person, and this method is not easy to use." Moreover, although the Ethiopian Emperor is very important, wouldn't it be better if this emperor was our own? Since we already have a better candidate for the emperor, it would be better for him to be the emperor......

"Bastard, what about the Chinese fighters? Didn't they say they could arrive in three minutes? It's all five minutes now!" the captain of the guard roared angrily.

To say that the pilot of this helicopter is also highly skilled, he took advantage of the Pegasus helicopter circling well, good low-altitude performance, to reduce the altitude to 100 meters, almost brushing the height of the treetops, and the opponent's fighter jets. However, after all, it was only a helicopter, and the other party was a genuine fighter jet, and after a few minutes of maneuvering, the helicopter was already scarred.

Once again, the helicopter dodged a Spitfire, and this time it was almost at its limit. The Spitfire pilot pulled it up and smiled back at them.

"Bastard, it's British!" the helicopter people all scolded angrily, and they didn't care about any royal demeanor at this time.

The white face of the pilot is too easy to recognize, and there are only black and white people in Ethiopia, but there are no such white people. It seems that the British are not worried about the locals, it is better to do it yourself, anyway, the plane is from the Ethiopian Air Force, and when the time comes, there will be nothing to do with it with just a gentle push.

Selassie I's face was as pale as a blank sheet of paper, and he was also a generation of heroes, and now he had vaguely guessed what China was thinking.

At this moment, another Spitfire pounced.

This time, the helicopter's good fortune came to an end, and a string ......of 20-mm shells accurately hit its engine and cabin. The helicopter is like a bird that has been hit by an arrow, unable to fall into the clouds and fall to the ground.

Before his consciousness disappeared, Selassie I said hatefully, "None of them are good people!"

The "Boom ......" helicopter exploded after landing, and a fireball rose into the sky......

"Hahahaha, it's all gone!" the two British pilots were overjoyed, and they flew down again and circled low for a while, and when they saw that there were no more living people, they were relieved to turn around.

"Not good, Chinese planes!" But they had just pulled up, but they saw four jet fighters viciously pounced.

A burst of Chinese sounded in the public channel: "...... You have now invaded China's airspace! Now we will detain you in accordance with the relevant laws of our country! Do you choose to go back with us, or do you choose to be shot down by us?" The voice was as cold as ice.

"John, aren't we at the border?" exclaimed one of the British pilots.

"Bastard, I didn't pay attention just now, I've already chased into China, and it's already 30 miles from the border...... John said with annoyance. The helicopter was so cunning that it dodged many attacks, only to catch up on Chinese territory without paying attention.

"What should we do? Is it a jet, or four, we can't beat it, we can't even run!"

"Surrender, we are British anyway, and we have no ill will towards them. It's just a mistake, at most, let's lock us up for a few days......" John had obviously studied the relevant regulations and previous precedents in China, and seemed not so nervous.

"Surrender, don't fire! Surrender, don't fire! We are British, we have entered by mistake, we have entered by mistake! We have surrendered! We have come with you!" the two British immediately shouted in strange Chinese.

........................................................................

Hanjing, National University of Defense Technology, China.

In the spacious and bright classroom, a group of students are in class. In a group of Orientals, there is a black and white mixed face.

“...... Jingle bell" The bell rings for the end of class.

The mulatto also laughed with his classmates, he was quite proficient in Chinese, and if it weren't for that face, he wouldn't be a foreigner at all.

A classmate said: "Zhang Shizhong, tonight in "Command and Conquest" or "Heroes Invincible"? It's a game that has just come out, and I heard that it's fun...... "Well, that half-breed is called Zhang Shizhong."

In recent years, China's computers have developed rapidly, and the computer classrooms of major colleges and universities have been replaced with computers equivalent to the 586 level of later generations. Of course, the content of the game must be modified, stuffed with private goods, Wei Guangzheng's protagonist must be Chinese, not to mention, and the background must also add a lot of Chinese elements. As for the enemy, that's whatever, from foreign to extraterrestrial.

Zhang Shizhong put away the textbook and smiled: "Whatever, it's okay." I'm thinking about where to eat tonight......"

At this time, a girl who was on duty came over and said, "Zhang Shizhong, the principal is looking for you, please go to the principal's office immediately......"

"Oh, what's the matter? Li Qian, do you know?" Zhang Shizhong was stunned.

"I don't know, anyway, there were a few army cars just now. Oh, there's a general in there......" Li Qian's sister thought for a while, suddenly took a few steps back, and said sharply: "Classmate Zhang Shizhong, you can't do anything bad, right? The army is looking for you......"

The students in the neighborhood all took a few steps back.

"I ...... I ......" Zhang Shizhong was suddenly embarrassed. "I'm in school every day, what bad things can I do? Besides, even if I do bad things, it should be a police uncle who comes to me. Moreover, I won't let you notify me, it should be the police uncle who came to torture me directly. ”

"Well, it seems to be the same. The classmate just now said with a smile: "Although Lao Zhang's face is darker, his heart is still not black......

"Hahahaha......" the classmates laughed.

"Alright, alright, I'll know what's going on when I go...... Wait for me to have dinner together......" Zhang Shizhong immediately ran to the principal's office.

But what he didn't know was that he would never be able to eat this dinner again...... But this method is not easy to use. Moreover, although the Ethiopian Emperor is very important, wouldn't it be better if this emperor was our own? Since we already have a better candidate for the emperor, it would be better for him to be the emperor......
