On September 20, 2781 (1940), Standwick, the capital of the Erathian Empire.
Steadwick, the empire of Erathia?
Hey, yes, you read that right, it's true that these two names are the countries and cities on Earth. Well, just a month ago, they didn't have that name, the former was called "Ethiopia" and the latter was called "Addis Ababa". Needless to say, their current name will become like this, of course, by Wende's heir.
In June, because of the struggle for orthodoxy, the three top powers of China, Britain and Germany, each of the powers, each came to a vigorous war of succession in the country. China, for good reason, is even more personal. Because of the war in Europe, Britain and Germany, out of various considerations, could not spare too much energy to interfere in this matter, and so did their respective younger brothers. Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible to win over China.
So in mid-July, the Chinese-backed Workers' Party of Ethiopia (PSP) emerged from the country's internal turmoil, winning the "War of Succession" that would determine Ethiopia's future with the direct intervention of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
Prince Solomon White Mulatu de Saleni (Zhang Shizhong), who was directly supported by China, naturally won the throne and became the country's legitimate monarch. In order to demonstrate legitimacy, at the suggestion of a Chinese think tank, Prince Solomon used his grandfather's name, Menelik, who became Menelik III upon his accession to the throne.
At the age of two, Prince Solomon was sent to China by his mother, Empress Zoditu, and entrusted to the guardianship of Wendehei. In fact, in the first time, Wen Deji did not think about it, after all, the relationship between China and Haile Selassie I was still very good at that time. For the adoption of this little prince, Mr. Wen just regarded it as a good deed to do casually, and at most it was an idle move.
Later, Selassie later jumped back and switched to Britain and France, and Mr. Wen didn't think much about using this godson, because Selassie's position was very stable, even if he wanted to support his godson, the most he would do was disgust the other party. And the two sides didn't completely tear their faces, so this kind of thing basically didn't work. So Wen Deji naturally wouldn't do such a thankless thing.
It wasn't until Haile Selassie I was killed by the British that Mr. Wen decided to officially support his adopted son and adopted son to be reinstated.
Zhang Shizhong is the Chinese name of Prince Solomon, as for why he did not follow the surname Wen Dehei, it is because his biological father, Duke Gugesa, is the unlucky guy who was flown by Selassie I, and also has a Chinese name. This duke brother was particularly obsessed with martial arts dramas exported from China back then, and because he was too devoted, he was brainwashed by Chinese culture. The duke's brother thought of giving himself a Chinese name to match his identity as a martial arts fan, but with the Chinese level of his two knives, he naturally couldn't come up with any good names. He first used the method of drawing lots among a bunch of Chinese surnames and chose "Zhang" as his surname. As for the name, he had an idea, and he thought that there was a cow in his family's family crest, so he gave himself the name of "big cow". So "Duke Zhang Da Niu of Gugesa" came out like this.
Since his biological father already has a Chinese surname, Prince Solomon naturally follows the surname Zhang. However, the surname is just a code name, which does not affect the father-son relationship between him and Wendehei, and the adoptive father and son are also father and son.
This Zhang Tongshoe is a typical example of Yi into Xia Zexia, grew up in China since childhood, surrounded by Chinese, except for the black face, he is completely Chinese, he can't even speak the local language of Ethiopia, to use the image of a metaphor, he is a "baked sweet potato" with black skin and yellow heart. It wasn't until June that the local official language "Amharic" began to be supplemented, although with the help of the dream learning machine, but after all, the time is too short, and now there are only some daily words, although the vocabulary is a little less, but the grammar and pronunciation are still very standard.
Zhang Tongshou still knows a lot about Chinese history, and he knows that since ancient times, vassal states have to ask the Chinese court for names such as country names, like Vietnam and Korea in the past. After the throne was officially confirmed, he regarded Ethiopia as a vassal state of China, so he went to Wendeji to ask for the name of the country.
Because he was his adopted son, Wen Deji was more casual, and he also had a bad taste at that time, so he jokingly said: "How about being called [Erathia]?"
"So do you want to change the capital? I think this Addis Ababa is a bit of a mouthful ...... right now."
"Since the country is called Erathia, the capital, it's called [Standwick], what do you think?" said Wendeji with a smile.
So, the two names were thus decided. Changing the name of the country and the name of the capital is a big deal, and some people will definitely ask, what are the origin of these two names? Of course, I can't explain this Wen Dehei, so it's hard to say that this is the name of a game in the future. Originally, it was a joke at the time, but who knew that Zhang Tongshoe's kid was still serious, and now it's not easy to talk back. So in the face of this inquiry, he had no choice but to smile at the Mona Lisa.
But this kind of thing doesn't need to worry about his old man at all, Wen Dehei, as the most powerful person on the earth today, he is even a fart and fragrant. What's more, these two names sound like that, and naturally there are a large number of conscientious old, middle-aged and young historians vying to jump out to help him explain, not only in China, but also in foreign countries There are also a large number of brick families rushing to do this work.
Jing Zhelan, a conscientious young historian in China, stood out from the crowd by drawing a whole set of theories from a large number of historical documents and archaeological results. The Jing brick family wrote an article claiming that [Erathia] is the place name of Ethiopia in ancient times, and the pronunciation is the extinct ancient Semitic language, and the etymology comes from the ancient Egyptian language, which means "heaven on earth". It was only because later generations read the sound that it became Ethiopia. And [Standwick] is also an ancient Semitic language, which means "Land of Light".
Therefore, Mr. Wen's name is very appropriate, this is not only a return to the roots, but also a very high-end reputation!
As evidence of his own interpretation, Jing Zhelan took out a large number of ancient Egyptian documents, from the earliest predynastic period to the twenty-seventh dynasty period, and he claimed that both terms were recorded in the literature. Most of these are the results of the work of the Special Examination Committee, and some of them are the results of Wei Er's sacking of the Louvre and other Allied museums.
What? You say the hieroglyphs on it are incomprehensible. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, I can understand it. You ask Mr. Wen how he knows the pronunciation of these extinct characters? What is so strange, Mr. Wen is an old man who is a pedantic man, what he does not know? Is it very strange that he understands ancient characters? We historians can often get guidance from his old man, and in several exchanges with Mr. Wen, I myself have benefited a lot from the study of ancient Egyptian...... For similar problems of the public, this is how the Jing brick family explains.
Well, because of this theory, this Jing brick family was also selected into Ethiopia, no, the Royal Advisory Group of the Erathia Empire, that is, Zhang Shizhong's think tank. This advisory group is a super dream lineup of famous experts and master rain gatherings, including Gu Hongming, Chen Yinke, Wang Guowei, Ji Xianlin, etc......
That's right, Mr. Wen stuffed his adopted son's advisory group full of private goods, and many raised and wild masters were stuffed into him. Anyway, these masters are also idle in the country, so it is better to let them transform the minds of the African people. In this way, they can not only act as a seeder for Chinese civilization, but also realize their own value.
Of course, in order to look good, there are more than 30 foreigners in this huge advisory group, half of whom are from Belarus, Japan and other countries of the Revolutionary Union, and some are foreign wild masters from Europe and the United States Chinese.
…………………………………………………………
Today is a great day for Zhang Shizhong to carry out the enthronement ceremony, after which he will be the official Emperor of the Erathia Empire, Menelik III.
For his enthronement ceremony, the masters of the advisory group did their homework, and they stayed up for more than a month starting in June, and finally concocted a set of enthronement ceremonies that were in line with the country's traditions and stuffed with private goods. In order to demonstrate the status of orthodoxy, the grandeur and luxury of the whole set of ceremonies are naturally indispensable.
With the backing of China's superpower, their wild ideas can be realized, such as the 73 white elephants used in the ceremony.
To say that in the natural world, it is really impossible to find so many white elephants, this thing is a very rare variant, in ancient China, it was an auspicious level of existence. But who let Mr. Wen have the genetic technology of later generations? It's just a matter of changing the color of the elephant. Don't say it's a white elephant, even if you want a rainbow elephant or a dumbo elephant, you can get it out. In Chinese tradition, the white elephant is a very tall thing, so after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wen Desi asked the Institute of Biology to build a number of zoos. Up to now, these white elephants have bred seven or eight hundred, which can be seen in major zoos across the country, and some have been bought as pets by local tyrants with fresh pictures, and given away as national gifts. The white elephants were seconded from zoos around the world.
Among them, seventy-two white elephants carry a gold-clad bronze pillar engraved with mythological stories on their backs, symbolizing the deeds of King Solomon sealing the seventy-two pillars of demon gods, which is not only a symbol of King Solomon's bloodline owned by Zhang Shizhong, but also a kind of show-off and show-off. And this is also in line with the treatment of Chinese vassal kings, they can't use the number "eighty-one".
The big white elephant that Zhang Shizhong himself rode was stuffed with private goods, the sedan chair is a typical Chinese style, and the patterns on the sedan chair and the ornaments are both, both local traditional customs, and a large number of Chinese elements. And the shapes and patterns in it are all allegorical, all emphasizing that "this is the vassal king of our Tian# Dynasty"!
Zhang Shizhong, either called Desaleni or Menelik III, sat tense on the white elephant at this time. is about to officially become the emperor, how can you not be nervous. Even if he is just an emperor under the constitutional system in the future, he has no real power, just a rubber stamp and a mascot, but he is also an emperor.
At this time, in the VIP seat, Wen Desi sat in the middle of the front row, whether it was the emperor's adoptive father, or the head of state of China and the chairman of the People's Revolutionary Federation, it was enough for him to sit here.
This time, in order to provide a platform for his adopted son, Wen Deji also came in person. Since he is here, the other younger brothers naturally dare not slack off. Tsar Alexei I of Belarus, Turkish President Kemal, Japanese President Kita Kazuki, and other heads of state of the People's Revolutionary Union and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) were all present.
China's face is still very large, and other countries have also sent important personnel to attend the ceremony. The USSR came from the Commissar of Foreign Affairs Molotov, from the United States came from Secretary of State Kodell Hull, and from Germany came the moustache deputy, German Deputy Chancellor Hess. Even France, which was in dire straits, sent Lieutenant General de Gaulle, the governor of North Africa, as its representative.
And the British sent it a little bit of that, he's the Duke of Windsor, well, the hapless Edward VIII. Of course, although he lost the face of the British royal family back then, his status is still very high. It stands to reason that in this state of war, it is not appropriate for the former king to come out, but I don't know if the British side has the idea of throwing this embarrassing guy into disgust, so they sent her anyway.
It doesn't matter what this article is, anyway, Britain suffered a big loss in the War of Succession this time, and now that their North African Army commander, Lieutenant General Montgomery, is still in a prisoner of war camp, it is understandable that they would make such a move. This time, the Duke of Windsor came not only to attend the enthronement ceremony, but also to fish out the captured officers and soldiers.
Looking at this set of ceremonies full of private goods and a large number of classical Chinese flavors, the Duke of Windsor spat to De Gaulle beside him with black lines on his face: "Hmph, I can't figure it out, is this the coronation of the Abyssinian Emperor or the coronation of the Chinese vassal king?"
"Whatever he is, just look lively......" de Gaulle smiled indifferently. This time, the French followed the British, and their North African legion was waiting for him to be retrieved in the prisoner of war camp.
"With such an obvious Chinese style, are these guys in Ethiopia okay?" said Hess, the German representative, who also looked at the black line.
In recent years, with China's dumping of cultural exports, all kinds of film and television, animation, games and other cultural products, as well as a variety of traditional Chinese style furniture, supplies, clothing and other goods have occupied the markets of various countries, everyone is very familiar with all kinds of traditional Chinese elements, and you can say one, two, three if you pull someone on the street. This group of representatives is naturally not unfamiliar, for example, Hess has a complete set of mahogany furniture in his house, and the tableware and tea set are also Chinese.
He was flanked by the representative of Italy, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Count Ciano. The earl smiled contemptuously: "Hehehe, what do these African buns know? They are satisfied as long as they look lively, and they don't care what style they have." When had these dirt buns ever had such a lavish ceremony? I'm afraid they're all overjoyed now. Besides, even if there are a few knowledgeable people, they don't dare to squeak in this situation. If you dare to object, you will ......" Ziano made a very elegant gesture to wipe his neck.
If you want to say that the most unhappy about the changes in Ethiopia is not Britain and Germany, but Italy, which is their traditional sphere of influence, and it has been handed over to China several times, this feeling is simply like crying. It's strange that Ziano is so happy, and naturally he wants to mock when he seizes the opportunity.
At this time, several staff members came to the VIP seat and said a few words to Wen Desi. So Wen Desi said hello to several people next to him, and left the VIP table with Tsar Alexei.
"What are they doing here?" asked U.S. Secretary of State Hull curiously.
"......" Molotov was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said in a flash of inspiration: "Could it be that this time it is Wendesi who crowns the Ethiopian Emperor?"
"Quite possibly! This is the equivalent of asserting sovereignty......" the corners of Hull's mouth twitched.
This time, the United States and the Soviet Union came to make soy sauce, so the two representatives naturally sat together. Although they are all VIP seats, they are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the representatives of the top powers will naturally not go to the small countries to huddle together.
"This is not in accordance with the rules! Wendeji is not a Christian, how can he crown Solomon's descendants......" Old nobles like the Duke of Windsor also reacted.
De Gaulle glanced at him, full of sympathy for the hapless former king, if this girl was the king of France, he would definitely not abdicate because he found someone to be his wife. We French people are the most romantic, if we find someone # wife as a wife, this kind of thing is not a matter at all in our France, and only boring British people will be as unrelenting as being blown up chrysanthemums.
But now he had to work with the British, so de Gaulle became an expert. Popularize science to him: "Your Royal Highness, you probably don't know yet. President Moonson now has a lot of titles on his head, and although he doesn't admit some of them, he doesn't deny them either. For example, the Pope ......"
"Pope, when did he become pope?" the Duke of Windsor's jaw almost dropped.
"Of course, those religious figures in China and the countries of the People's Revolutionary Union did it, and they added various titles to President Wen in order to make a fool of themselves. They claim that President Moonson is the Archangel Metatron in human form, the agent of God on earth, the Messiah of the East, the true Pope......"
"These damned Eastern heretics! The archangel is clearly Michael, and Metatron is the archangel of the Jews! What a shame!" said the Duke of Windsor, gritting his teeth.
De Gaulle rolled his eyes to himself, and thought to himself: "You Anglican Church in England is not heretical. You are the eldest brother, not to mention the second brother, there are as many lice on your body, and none of your buttocks are clean. Only we French believers are the most authentic drops! It's not a matter at all, and only the boring British will be as unrelenting as being blown up with a chrysanthemum.
