Chapter 111: Theory of Civilization
The current population of East Africa (including the indigenous people) is equivalent to that of the British Australian colonies. However, if we want to fully develop East Africa, this population is simply not enough.
Unlike Canada, Australia and other British colonies, behind it stands the flourishing British Empire.
So although Canada and Australia have small populations, security is not a problem, especially Australia, which is surrounded by sea and has no foreign enemies.
The only ones behind the East African colonies were Ernst and the Hechingen consortium, which could not withstand the hardships.
The only way to control East Africa is to continue to immigrate. With a larger population, security will naturally be more secure.
Just like the Ottomans and the Far East, when facing the great powers, although they were forced to give up some of their interests, with their considerable population and size, no one could take one bite.
Of course, negative materials like India do not count, so national cohesion is not a castle in the air, but really exists.
To ensure the stability of East African rule, it is necessary to continuously strengthen the identity of immigrants, assimilate and eliminate their unique culture, and finally form a set of cultural identity unique to East Africa.
If you engage in Western ethnography, you will definitely lay the seeds of disaster, so even if you are a black native, Ernst will not deny his intelligence.
When Ernst was compiling colonial textbooks, his description of black indigenous people was that they could be transformed through education, but they were affected by history and culture, making their transformation extremely costly.
Ernst did not say that black people are inferior to other races, but black people cannot even farm and are still in an extremely primitive stage. Their ideological concepts cannot be corrected in a hundred years.
And if black people are not expelled, where will the East African land be for immigrants like you to survive, so you must learn to be grateful, remember your identity as an East African German, and give back to the motherland in the future.
It is better to be honest than to have the lie exposed in the end. Now all East African immigrants are Ernst’s accomplices. The descendants of East African immigrants in the future cannot be blamed on their ancestors.
As for racism, Ernst himself did not believe in this theory, and he would not use this theory in East Africa.
In the chapter on human origins in the East African history textbook, Ernst placed the origin of human beings in East Africa (in actual history, human fossils in East Africa were discovered in the late 20th century), and divided human beings into three branches, one of which went to West Africa, one heading to the Middle East and one heading to the coast.
Correspondingly, they are black people, Eurasians, and brown people.
Eurasians are subdivided into three smaller branches: one is the Mediterranean race (Romans and Arabs), with black hair and eyes; the East Asian race, with black hair and eyes; and the Nordic race, Blonde.
The explanation for skin color is that according to latitude, generally the higher the latitude, the whiter the skin color, so different skin colors are caused by environmental changes.
The explanation for why Nordic people are blond and blue-eyed is caused by genetic variation. The argument is that people in other parts of the world have black hair and black eyes, while Nordic people have a variety of hair and pupil colors. Unstable shapes (brown, gold, red...)
Another interesting thing about this fabricated human origin is that the brown race is listed separately and descriptively spread by picking up sea food and fishing at the beach. Therefore, Indians, Indonesians, and natives of Oceania... are all regarded as Ernst put in brown people.
Negroes, needless to say, live in low latitudes, with strong sunshine, and are not clothed all year round. Therefore, after tens of thousands of years of precipitation, they have become what they are today. If this set of theories were spread back to Europe, Ernst would definitely become the target of verbal criticism from white leftists in Europe. Unfortunately, this is East Africa. Ernst’s words are in the hall. The only person qualified to criticize Ernst is Maximiliano I. .
However, Maximiliano I recognized the teaching materials compiled by Ernst very much, because when he became the emperor of Mexico, there were many Indians under his rule. As a monarch, Although he didn't know where Ernst got his lies, Maximiliano I believed that Ernst was doing the right thing.
Classifying all races into one big family, and using part of Darwin's theory, can eliminate conflicts among various ethnic groups in East Africa. I said before that in the future, these children who study East African textbooks will grow up. The worldview has been recast.
Of course, this set of textbooks also magnified Ernst’s own stain. Since you don’t admit that black natives are an inferior race, then you are so cruel to these black natives. Isn’t this just plain bad!
Logically this is indeed the case, but Ernst didn't care at all. He was just bearing the infamy of a colonizer and invader.
Throughout human history, those same people, as long as they are victors, will always be remembered by someone, such as the great emperors of Russia and Emperor Qin and Han Wu of the Far East. Who is not such a person? This nation will remember them. contribution to the nation.
In the future, as long as the continuation of East Africa as a civilization as a whole is ensured, those in future generations will remember Ernst's achievements, even if this achievement is based on the history of the blood and tears of the indigenous people.
Therefore, shaping the overall national cultural identity of East Africa is the only card Ernst can play, and it is also the theoretical basis for the future Hechingen royal family to rule East Africa.
Just like religion, there is a concept of conversion, Ernst planned to engage in cultural conversion and promote German culture in East Africa.
In East African education and propaganda, Germany is no longer the exclusive preserve of the Germans, but all people who are willing to live the German way of life and accept the influence of German cultural education.
This turns narrow national Germany into civilized Germany. Germany in East Africa is not a nation, but a civilization.
For the German immigrants in East Africa, it doesn’t matter as long as the culture in East Africa is still dominated by the German region.
For other immigrants from non-traditional German ethnic groups, this provides a theoretical basis for integrating into East African life. I am a person who accepts and identifies with German culture, so I am theoretically a German.
To implement this theory, it is necessary to achieve equality in terms of identity of all races, even indigenous people.
Although Ernst persecuted black indigenous people, he admitted that black people were the same as other races and there were no differences in intelligence and other aspects.
This is knowingly committing a crime, and the Western colonists were more moral than Ernst in this regard, because they believed that black people were an inferior race, so they found excuses for their crimes. This is basically It is said that it is no longer the same species as myself, at most it looks somewhat similar.
In comparison, Ernst did it deliberately, simply for his own benefit by driving away the black natives, forcing them to perform manual labor, and indirectly participating in trafficking, without acting.
Just like criminals, some criminals do not think that they are committing a crime, but Ernst is the kind of person who continues to commit a crime even though he knows it.
