Chapter 516 Patriotic Education
“You did a good job this time and successfully brought the conflict between Britain and Afghanistan forward. This is beneficial to us. Those who have meritorious service in this operation will be strictly implemented according to the reward and punishment system. , Of course, I will personally give you some extra bonuses.”
Ernst praised the agents who instigated the Afghanistan operation at the Qiwit Palace, and the agents who received the rewards felt quite comfortable.
“We will continue to work hard. Of course, we must not be too proud. We must check for deficiencies in this operation and accumulate richer experience for the future.”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
After the commendation meeting, Ernst began to focus on the water conservancy construction work in East Africa. This is a large-scale national project that mobilizes millions of people, so mistakes must be prevented.
Now Ernst is trapped by this nationwide project, and he cannot get away in a short time until he is on the right track.
……
Mbeya City.
Mbeya is very dry in February. Students from Mbeya Secondary School participate in regular practical courses organized by the school.
It's just that instead of sitting in the classroom and listening to the teacher's lectures, I work on the farms arranged by the government.
Yalke, the head teacher of Class 4, Grade 3, took the whole class to live in the workers’ dormitory of the Third State Farm in Mbeya City.
After assigning accommodation, Yalke said to the whole class: "Today's practical course will be led by the experienced Uncle Cade. In the next week, he will lead everyone Understand the matters that need to be paid attention to in farming, you must study carefully..."
As Yalke finished his speech, the students burst into applause to welcome Cade, the leader of the practical activity farm.
Kade did not show any timidity when facing these students. He stood in front of the students and introduced himself generously: "I am the person in charge of the third state-owned farm. I am very happy to be here with young people like you. Exchange and learn from each other, because you are not the first batch of students I have taught. Every year I welcome students from the No. 2 Middle School to participate in practical activities on our farm, so you don’t have to be restrained and you can ask me directly if you have any questions.”
Every class has a few thorns, and Class 4 of the third grade is no exception. As soon as Cade finished speaking, someone asked the class teacher:
"Teacher, don't you need to teach farming!" We all know these things. When we are at home, we often help our family with farm work.”
“Student Roald, this is an activity organized by the school, and it is also an arrangement of the government. It is not a task of the National Practical High School. say you If you know it, you don’t have to come. The theme of this event is hard work and practice. It is essentially to allow everyone to better experience the hardship and fun of work, and at the same time, it can also accumulate your life experience. "< br>
Practical middle schools mainly cultivate students' practical and hands-on abilities, while liberal arts middle schools pay more attention to cultural literacy. However, liberal arts middle schools cannot avoid practical courses, but they have few opportunities.
At this time, Capita also intervened: "Of course, we have also considered the purpose of exposing you to new experiences and new things. As a government industry, the third state-owned farm has a relatively considerable investment, and it also represents a relatively advanced productivity, so it can greatly expand your horizons.”
As a state-owned enterprise, the Third State Farm in Mbeya City has much higher investment than ordinary farms. It is basically on par with Western countries and has introduced advanced production technology and experience.
However, East African farms are also lagging behind, and that is the large use of black slaves, which is unavoidable. For example, for work such as cotton picking, using black slaves is the best choice. After Cade said that, he took the students from Class 3 and Class 4 to visit the farm. Not to mention other things, the state-owned farm covers a large area and not only grows a single crop, but also has its own pasture and processing workshop. , if you build a castle again, it will be almost the same as a medieval manor in Europe.
Many black workers farm here. As the targets of exploitation in East Africa, black workers are naturally treated very poorly. However, the new generation who grew up in East Africa have long been accustomed to this kind of slavery. .
The year before last, after Mbeya City implemented the policy of replacing black labor with livestock, black labor in small and medium-sized farms was able to be replaced. However, there are still many black labor in large farms and mines.
He pointed his finger at the black slaves who were working on a large scale and said: "Your fathers were forced to come to East Africa under difficult survival conditions, just like me. The world is more cruel. I don't say that East Africa is more cruel. Other countries are strong, but it is definitely a good place, so you must also contribute to East Africa in the future to avoid the decline of the country in the future, otherwise these people will learn from the past.”
Cade’s words are cruel, and the experience of black people is also cruel. It is worthy of sympathy, but for these teenagers, it does not have much impact. After all, black slaves are so common in this country in East Africa that they may naturally think that this is reasonable.
However, the experience of black workers also planted a seed in their hearts, that is, those who are backward will be beaten. If East Africa declines, then some people may become enslaved by others like these black people. .
The reason why we say that there are some people, according to Ernst’s understanding, is that there are also smart people who are exploiters, and they will divide the exploited. The bottom ones must be the exploited in the traditional sense, and they are bribed. Although people are exploited by their superiors, they can exploit their subordinates.
This is the pyramid structure of human society. Pyramids also exist in East Africa, and the royal family of Hechingen is at the top, then the nobility and bureaucrats, finally the citizens of East Africa, and finally the black slaves of East Africa.
As for the black people working in the fields, they are completely unaware that they are being used as patriotic material by East Africa. They just complete their work numbly, which is also a good thing for them. Sometimes the more knowledge and insight, the more troubles they have.
If people in the 21st century fell into the situation of black slaves, they might collapse, but these black people are somewhat "happy" because East Africa has given them a stable environment, and their lives are more precarious than before. Times were a little better.
The only regret may be that basic physiological needs cannot be met. The task of curbing the growth of the black population has caused a serious imbalance in the male-female ratio of the black population in East Africa. Basically, there are no female blacks in eastern and central East Africa, while in the west and There are a small number of female blacks in the South.
However, physiological needs can be tolerated. As long as the two or three generations of black people in East Africa have a few years of youth, they will be free, so just tolerate it for a few years. When free America comes, I think It doesn't matter how you play it, anyway, the United States has clearly abolished black slavery.
At present, East Africa also needs these black people to contribute to the development of East Africa. If it were not for the existence of black labor, the projects Ernst built in East Africa would be difficult to complete, and it is very likely to fall into the same situation as Latin America.
This unique "patriotism" education class is very simple and crude. It is to show the living conditions of the oppressed groups in East Africa and to establish ideas for the young generation of East Africa.
As for whether they will be affected, the effect is actually very clear. As native East Africans, the new generation of young people have their own concerns. From their standpoint, the land under their feet is Our fathers took it from the blacks, so they naturally sided with East Africa.
As for Ernst, the culprit, he actually has no burden in his heart. He has no self and is also taking advantage of other European colonists. Therefore, it is better for him to be the villain himself. And although Ernst is not a good person, he I have a bottom line in my heart and will not engage in massacres at will.
