Chapter 183 Arriving
in the study.
After seeing his father off, Ernst breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the matter had come to this, he could only respect his father's decision.
At present, it seems that it is indeed the best way to let my father go to East Africa to take charge. Prince Constantine’s prestige and ability are sufficient, and there is no one in his own colony who dares to provoke a monarch from Europe. .
The awe of the nobility is engraved in the hearts of immigrants. The immigrants in the East African colonies were all immigrants from feudal or authoritarian areas (Paraguay), so they naturally had awe of the nobility.
The officials and mercenaries in the East African colonies were all Germans, and they knew the status of a German monarch, and they were also workers. Most of them would not stay in East Africa in the end, and most of them were retired from the Prussian army. They are not young anymore, so they cannot stay in East Africa for long.
As for the students of the Hechingen Military Academy, they must obey Prince Constantine's words. After all, the Hechingen Military Academy is built in Hechingen, and Prince Constantine is also a student of the Hechingen Military Academy. is a frequent visitor and often interacts with students.
Finally, there are the employees of the Hechingen Consortium, which are small in number and frequently rotated. They are mainly responsible for economic affairs in East Africa, that is, auditing accounts.
In other words, there is no one in the entire East Africa who is dissatisfied with Prince Constantine. After all, it is well known to East Africans that the Hechingen royal family is the master of East Africa.
It’s just that it’s difficult for immigrants from East Africa to meet legendary figures. Just like an emperor, staying in the palace all his life does not affect his status as the supreme ruler.
Ernst sat back at his desk again, looking at the unfinished upgrade plan for the First Town on the table, and had no choice but to go back and rebuild it.
With the addition of Constantine's factors, the First Town will definitely no longer be able to upgrade and renovate according to the original design. It seems that the funds originally planned to be saved cannot be escaped.

"No one is allowed to move!" On the border of the Yeke Kingdom, several natives suddenly blocked the way of Merkel and his party.
"Bring the indigenous translator here!" Becker ordered to the soldiers behind him.
Soon, a dark-skinned native was picked out from the end of the team. He was the translator hired by the East African colonies. It was definitely impossible for East Africans to learn the indigenous language, so they could only be selected from among the indigenous slaves.
Among the millions of indigenous slaves, there were always a few people with good language talents who learned German through contact with the East African colonies, so they were temporarily used as translators by the East African colonies.
"Tell them that we are guests from afar and have no ill intentions towards them." Becker said to the translator.
Then the translator began to relay Becker’s words to the other party, and the two parties began to communicate.
"Where are you from?" the native asked cautiously.
"The countries of the East," said Becker.
When you talk to these natives about colonies, I guess they don’t even have the concept of colonies in their language.
Hearing Becker's words, the face of the native across the street changed obviously, although nothing could be seen due to the color of his skin. To the east, that must be the existence of the East African colonies. The Yeke Kingdom and the East African colonies have had several interactions, especially when the East African colonies expelled the natives to the southwest and northwest regions.
At that time, some of the East Bantu indigenous people who entered the southwest entered the Kingdom of Malawi, and some entered the Kingdom of Yeke.
Among them, many of the East Bantu natives who entered the Yeke Kingdom were ordered to be safe by Msili. After all, Msili was also from the Tanganyika region.
These people spread the terror of the East African colonies to the entire Yeke Kingdom and described the East African colonial army as the devil's army.
Of course the upper class and some soldiers of the Yeke Kingdom did not believe the lies of these East Bantu people. After all, it was not that they had never seen firearms. The Yeke Kingdom even had a troop purely equipped with muskets.
However, more people in the Yeke Kingdom believed it, saying that three people can become a tiger, and with tens of thousands of mouths, they can talk death into life.
And the civilians of the Yeke Kingdom themselves believed that their king and the East African colonies were the same group of devils. After all, they both came from the East and both used firearms.
The Yeke Kingdom did not take in many East Bantu natives who were expelled from East Africa. At first, most of the natives were driven to the northwest region by East Africa.
The remaining small part was more than half divided by the Kingdom of Malawi. The number of native East Bantu people who went to the Kingdom of Yeke was not large.
For the sake of his fellow countrymen, Musili gave large orders and appointments to these East Bantu people to suppress the opponents in the Yeke Kingdom and surrounding forces.
The army of the Yeke Kingdom has also become a paradise for these indigenous people from the Tanganyika region. In addition to Msili’s most elite firearms troops, the Yeke Kingdom’s army is basically composed of more heroic and militant Dong Made up of Bantu people.
The indigenous people blocking the path of Becker and others are the Eastern Bantu indigenous people who were absorbed by the Yeke Kingdom.
It can be seen from their weapons, which are all spears and bows. They are obviously the peripheral troops of the Yeke Kingdom.
"Are you the devil's people!" An East Bantu soldier shouted to Becker and others tremblingly, holding the weapon in his hand tightly.
The East Bantu natives are really brave and warlike on the East African grasslands, and are naturally capable of fighting wild beasts. However, the East African colonies were so unreasonable that they directly used thermal weapons to drive these East Bantu people away. Big eyes.
No matter how skilled you are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives. Naturally, the natives who fled Tanganyika will never forget these terrifying East Africans.
"Don't worry, we don't have any ill intentions. The main reason we came here this time is to meet our King Msili." Becker said to these Yeke Kingdom soldiers.
Devil or not, it doesn't matter. As long as the purpose of this trip is achieved, Becker will make a lot of money, so Becker tries to speak to these natives in a pleasant manner.
After a period of negotiation between the two sides, the natives finally knew the purpose of Becker and others' coming, so they said: "Guests from afar, we have to report to the great Majesty Msiri first. Only with the consent of the great Majesty Msiri , we can let you go to the palace to meet.”
