Chapter 539 Neighbor Theory
“Uncle Carl, this time you will stay in the first town first. Colonial development requires a process, especially in Africa, which requires more caution, so you stay in the first town. The town and city can also contact Leopold and the others, and at the same time, they can monitor the progress of the colonization."
It is also appropriate to invite Prince Carl to stay in the first town and city. It is impossible for the seventy-year-old man to go to Chad alone. .
Now Chad is really a deserted land, an area where there are more wild animals than people. This is because East Africa has arrived, and a large number of black forces have fled westward. In Africa, where typical people and wild animals are pulling each other, the black people stay. The space was not occupied by East Africa, so it was reoccupied by those wild animals.
So this time the East African border troops are more likely to go to Chad for large-scale hunting than to conflict with black forces.
In fact, as the population in East Africa increases, the wildlife resources in East Africa have also been greatly affected, so this time the army goes to Chad for a walk and can make a little fortune, especially ivory and leather.
Ernst continued: "Colonial development is not something that can be accomplished overnight, especially in Africa. If you are not careful, you may lose everything. After all, there are some examples of failed colonization in Africa, but as long as you follow the Based on the experience in East Africa, it shouldn’t be difficult to do it again in Chad. We can send relevant experts to provide you with protection.”
The so-called experts are old East Africans who have lived in East Africa for a long time and have experienced the East African colonies. In the process of starting from nothing, I encountered various difficulties and finally overcame them, so I am absolutely rich in experience.
In fact, there are two divisions of East African troops next to Chad. These troops can help Sigmaringen solve most of the problems in the future.
The military has always been the vanguard of East African colonial expansion, and the East African Army on the border has experience in dealing with various risks. At the same time, the army is also one of the bases for shaping East African talents.
In the army, in addition to learning to march and fight, they will also be exposed to various new things, especially machinery and technology. At the same time, the East African military camp is also a place to improve literacy rates.
At the same time, the East African army has a certain amount of medical experience. Basically every soldier knows a little bit, and is relatively proficient in simple bandaging and disinfection skills.
So, if you encounter any problems in Sigmalingen, most of them can be solved by asking the East African Army for help, whether it is war or life.
"Ernst, how long do you think it will take if we want to build a colony in Chad and incorporate the area you mentioned into Sigmaringen, or even go further."
Well. Sturt thought for a moment and replied: "If you just establish a colonial order, just like a normal colony, it will only take a few years, and you don't even need a large number of colonists. A few thousand people are enough to establish colonial rule in Africa. ”
In the previous life, the number of Germans in German East Africa was only a few thousand, but they controlled nearly one million square kilometers of land. However, it is obvious that this colonial rule was not stable and was not enough to cope with the competition from African colonists such as Britain.
Those like Ernst who directly used riot tactics and human wave tactics in Africa are non-mainstream. After all, Ernst was aiming to enclose the land and build a country from the beginning, not to simply plunder Africa. of wealth.
So Ernst said: "If the colony of Sigmaringen wants to develop and go further, it is best to follow the same path as East Africa. The indigenous people are absolutely unreliable and there is a risk of rebellion in the future."
“And to be honest, the future of colonization in Africa is no worse than that of development in Europe. Take East Africa as an example. After development, we in East Africa relied on local resources to survive A big country has been created. If it were in Europe, Hechingen would not have this opportunity."
"African land is easy to acquire now, but now is also the last window, especially in Central and West Africa. , the competition is much more intense than when we colonized East Africa before, but their colonization was carried out from the west coast of Africa to the interior, so the interior is the breakthrough point of Sigmaringen.”
When East Africa was colonizing, only the French were the most active in Africa, and there were no competitors in East Africa. The Sultanate of Zanzibar made a great contribution to this. If we go back a few decades, during the heyday of the Zanzibar Sultanate, it would be difficult to establish an East African colony. At that time, the Zanzibar Sultanate was brave enough to fight, so it was very important to seize the opportunity.
"Nowadays, countries are competing for each other in West Africa. Correspondingly, their energy is tied up with each other in the coastal areas, but it is difficult to explore inland, so Uncle Carl, you'd better The construction of the colonial framework will be completed in a few years, and if it is a few years later, we may not even be able to drink soup."
"And, these. The land covers an area of more than two million square kilometers. When the population develops in the future, if we strive for success, we may be able to obtain access to the sea in the South Atlantic, which has much greater potential than Romania.”
< br>The climate environment of Romania is certainly better than that of Chad as a whole, but southern Chad and Cameroon are no less than Romania in all aspects.
Although northern Chad and Darfur have an arid climate, they are rich in mineral and oil resources. Most of Chad's minerals are located in the north.
Romania is most well-known for its oil resources, which can be said to be the German oil depots during World War II. The most important resource in Chad is oil. Of course, for France in its previous life, Chad's uranium mines were also very important.
So Chad’s potential is quite good. The most important thing is that the area is large enough. Today’s Romania is not like annexing a large part of Hungary’s land in its previous life, so Chad alone is almost ten times the area of Romania today. There are many, and the area suitable for farming in southern Chad is larger than that of Romania.
"No problem. According to your opinion, now we just go there to staking claim, and then we can consolidate our local advantages in the next few years, right?"
"Yes?" Yes, Uncle Carl, you have to act quickly now and strike first. You don’t have to worry about the population. Even if you really can’t recruit people in Europe, we will definitely take care of the people in the Far East.”
Ernst's purpose is to squeeze the living space of black Africans through immigration. It doesn't matter whether they are white or yellow, as long as they can separate blacks in East Africa and West Africa. If you want to build such a separation zone, you must have a large population. Just fine.
History has proven that simple physical isolation belts are not easy to use. The Great Wall cannot withstand the invasion of northern nomads, the North American border wall cannot stop Latin Americans from moving north, and the barbed wire fence on the Myanmar border cannot stop people. Throw yourself into a trap.
So the best way is to establish a buffer zone, and there is no better choice than a country with the same culture. The Sigmaringen colony will definitely be like East Africa in the future, using German as the only official language, which is culturally natural similar. Sigmaringen has the best relationship with the royal family of Hechingen, so there is no conflict of interest.
So establishing a colonial country in northern East Africa from Sigmaringen will be of great benefit to the future of East Africa. At least the Arab and black refugee flows in Europe in the previous life are unlikely to occur in East Africa. After all, East Africa Not the United States, but all the countries around us.
As the saying goes, those who are close to red are red, and those who are close to ink are black. The United States has made the Americas like a quagmire, and of course it will be polluted by backlash. This is the case with the drug and smuggling issues.
These two problems have no impact on American capitalists and politicians, but it is self-evident how harmful they are to the lowest level of the American people.
So Ernst doesn’t want the countries surrounding East Africa to be too bad in the future. This is just like society. A good neighbor always makes people feel comfortable. Bad neighbors are probably like the countries surrounding the Far Eastern Empire. , but even then the Far Eastern Empire had to maintain fragile neighborly relations. After all, wars in the surrounding areas would also affect the Far Eastern Empire's economic and investment environment.
This is why Ernst did not want to be neighbors with black countries. Not to mention that many black countries have insufficient governance. Some black people in West Africa have enmity with East Africa, and many of them were driven out by East Africa, so it is still It's better not to get too close.
