Chapter 553 Selfless
If a port city wants to develop, it cannot do without the strong support of the economic hinterland. Otherwise, even if the port conditions are superior, it will be difficult to have a better development ceiling.
For example, the port of Maputo in Mozambique has very good natural conditions. Maputo is located at the southern entrance of the Mozambique Strait and has a strategic location. So the Portuguese established a colonial stronghold in Maputo. Since then, with the development of history, Maputo gradually became the capital of Portuguese Mozambique.
However, this Portuguese port city that has developed for a century has been overtaken by the New Hamburg Port City in a very short period of time, and the gap has quickly widened. Although Maputo and Natal have also invested heavily, But it is really difficult to come back from behind.
Because East Africa’s heavy investment in the New Hamburg Port is definitely the key, but relying on the southern section of the Central Railway, the economic hinterland of the New Hamburg Port City includes the Southern Frontier Province, Lorraine Province, southern Matabele Province, New Hamburg Province Württemberg Province (formerly the Kingdom of Zulu, Transvaal Republic, southern Zimbabwe, Botswana and British Bechuanaland).
In this way, the direct gap between the three ports is reflected. If Maputo is not integrated into East Africa in the future, it will have no choice but to lag behind the new Hamburg port market.
So the development of East African port cities cannot be separated from the support of inland cities. In turn, port cities also provide capital, technology, manpower and other necessary conditions for development to the inland.
Mutual support, this kind of overall social atmosphere, Ernst likes it very much anyway. As for interest disputes, there are not so many troubles in East Africa. After all, East Africa does provide a way out for immigrants arriving from Eurasia. Basically in line with psychological expectations, as a country with a big government, the development of East African countries cannot be separated from the guidance of the autocratic government led by Ernst.
This is in line with the requirements of the East African people. They hope that the government will take care of this and that, because before arriving in East Africa, more than 90% of them were feudal farmers who dug the land and had no opinions of their own. If they manage the country by themselves, it will take hundreds of years of chaos before they can cultivate qualified talents to manage the country.
While Claire and others were in self-isolation, the East African government was not really letting things go. The city of Grusegen was also discussing the epidemic in Rowenad village.
The total urban population of Grusegen City is more than 1,300, and there are seven villages of various sizes. In fact, Grusegen City may be a slightly larger village in this era, but other towns Yes, the city of Grusegen is about the same.
So Claire, the director of the city’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention, is considered to have a high position, otherwise he wouldn’t have suffered twice from the east to the west. He has seen the development of East Africa, so he is very interested in it. The development potential of the western region is also very promising.
"Mayor, this is the letter sent back by Director Claire. We have disinfected the letter. You should take a look at the specific content yourself."
Mayor of Grusegen Morgaville took the letter Claire sent back and read it carefully.
After a moment, he said: "Director Claire has already said that Rowenad Village is currently in good condition and there are no signs of the epidemic spreading. However, to be on the safe side, he will stay there for a while. Let’s get ready.”
“Mayor, are we going to blockade Rowenad Village?”
“There is no need to blockade Rowenad Village. If Rowenad Village is really not under control, then it’s okay to say that it’s not the case now. Is there a guarantee from Director Claire? He has extensive experience in the East, so just trust his advice."
But Mogwell changed the subject and said, "Of course, we can't do nothing. In this way, two policemen are sent to guard the road from Rowenad Village to the city. If someone does come over privately, they can notify the city in time."
"Mayor, are there something wrong with these two people? "Less?"
"Of course I have considered this. Our city has a small population and insufficient police force. Moreover, two police officers were sent to Rowenad Village to take command. If there are sufficient personnel, I am sure. We also want to seal Rowenad Village first, so no matter how capable we are, we can just send two people to monitor it.”
"Oh, that's true. Our city of Grusegen has only been established for a short period of time. We are lacking everything, especially the population. It would be nice if there were more people. So, the mayor, you are the best, and you can lead us in this situation. The city of Grusegen is prosperous. "Don't be afraid of flattery, I'll do it myself." I know how much I weigh, and my task is to follow the example of other regions and discover the city of Grusegen. As for you, I will remember your merits and punish your mistakes. I really want to develop well in the future. Just put away your little thoughts and deal with the city of Grusegen honestly. problem.”
“Mayor, you taught me a lesson.”
“By the way, the food and material issues in Rowenad Village cannot be ignored. , the first phase of grain harvest has not yet been harvested, we still have to rely on the provincial government to mobilize Du, prepare that part of Rowenad Village. As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, don’t panic. Now the people of Rowenad Village are calm and let them stay in the village honestly. "
< br>"Sent directly to Rowenad Village?"
"Didn't we design the material receiving station at the beginning? We pack the things well and don't let wild beasts get away."
East Africa can be regarded as a long-term disease. It is quite experienced in dealing with epidemics. Material receiving The station was designed in advance. It is actually a small house between the village of Rowenad and the city of Grusegen. It is not used normally, but it was used during the epidemic.
"By the way, every time you go, remember to do a good job of disinfection, especially at the material receiving station. Don't be careless."
"I understand, mayor, do you have any other instructions?"
Morgwill thought about it carefully, and it really reminded him of something. He said: "I almost forgot. Yes, Director Claire mentioned in the letter before that the cause of this epidemic is most likely caused by killing and eating wild animals. These people are really disobedient. We preached to them at the beginning that animals in East Africa cannot be disposed of at will. Now Well, even if we lose our lives, we will still be left with a mess.”
"It's just that you really don't take the government's words seriously. When you encounter a problem, we have to deal with it in the end." The subordinate hurriedly followed Mogwell's words.
"Well, this shows that our publicity work is not in place, otherwise it is very likely that this incident can be avoided. That's good. It just happened that this kind of thing happened in Rowenad Village this time , we will use Rowenad Village as a model to carry out publicity and education throughout the city to let them know that no regulations are set casually without reason, and there is no rule without rules."
"Yes, mayor. , but are the following villages also arranged in this way?”
“Well, except for Rowenad Village, other villages in our city must carry out this education. As for Rowenad, I believe that the village has learned this lesson the most deeply. It is more useful than any other education to gain wisdom from every experience.”
Morgville thought for a while and then said: “There are still savings. Inside, after the epidemic is over, we don’t have to think about what to report and what to write, we can just do our job well.”
"This..."
"I'm not worried. What are you afraid of? Even if something goes wrong, I will be the first person in charge. Besides, the cause of this epidemic is not necessarily due to our work." Error, our follow-up work is also in place."
"Mayor, you are still selfless..."
