Chapter 956 Expert Suggestions
As a new city, Rhine City is far stronger than the first town in many fields such as infrastructure construction, functional design, and industrial structure.
With the progress of relocating the capital of East Africa, a central urban agglomeration with Rhine City as the core will be formed around Rhine City in the future. Currently, there are New Frankfurt, Kabwe, and Lusaka around Rhine City. and many towns in the copper belt.
This is also an important role of Rhine City, which is to fill the vacancies between the three major economic zones in East Africa in the future.
It goes without saying that the eastern and western coastal areas of East Africa, and the southern Bohemian Province (Zimbabwe), is also the largest heavy industrial area in East Africa, and the Rhine City is located between these three.
Although there is no Rhine City and the local economic foundation is not bad, there are still some gaps compared with the above three.
So the existence of Rhine City complements the key to the development core of East Africa. It is the center connecting the two oceans and the north and south regions.
Although the economic strength of the North is weak, it has a large territory and rich oil resources. Moreover, the North borders many other countries and regions. It is of great significance to East Africa's energy and national defense security and cannot be underestimated.

Kampala City.
Kampala is the capital of North Great Lakes Province. It was invested and constructed by the East African government in 1871. It has now become one of the famous plateau water towns along the Great Lakes, which means that the local agriculture is relatively developed.
At the same time, Kampala is an important city along the Northern Railway. With the help of the Great Lakes, it can directly realize the exchange of materials and personnel with towns along the Great Lakes such as Kisumu City. It is the fourth largest city on the Northern Railways. City.
Of course, because of East Africa’s positioning of the entire Great Lakes region, the industry here is much worse than that of southern cities. In the entire Great Lakes region, most of the industry is concentrated in Kisumu and Mwanza. .
Because of their geographical advantages, it was easier to accept industrial and technology transfer from the eastern region in the early days.
Of course, as the fourth largest city in the Great Lakes Region, Kampala is accelerating its development and narrowing the industrial gap between it and other cities.
The opportunities for Kampala's industrial development come from two aspects. One is that economic development in the region and related areas provides Kampala with markets and raw materials, and the other is the transfer of backward industries from the central region to the northern region.
Although it is said to be a backward industry in central China, from a national perspective, these industries that have been transferred to the local area are still relatively advanced.
At least compared with Kisumu, Mwanza, and Bujumbura, there is no obvious difference, because East African industry started late, and even the backward industries eliminated in the central region are only second or third at most. Ten years of history.
The industrial facilities in cities such as Kisumu and Mwanza are almost at the same level. After all, East Africa invested in their industries relatively early, and a new round of technology and industrial upgrading cannot start immediately. This is As a result, the current industrial equipment in Kampala is actually the same as that in these cities.
After all, this round of technological and industrial upgrading is mainly carried out in coastal areas where industry and scientific research are relatively developed. Inland cities like Kisumu and Mwanza do not yet have this treatment.
Of course, East Africa positions the Great Lakes region as the main agricultural production base in East Africa, and does not attach much importance to local industry compared with other regions in East Africa.
So as the capital of North Great Lakes Province, agriculture and related industries still have an advantage in Kampala’s industrial structure. At this time, the Kampala City Agriculture and Forestry Department is conducting relevant discussions on optimizing agricultural construction in the region.
In Kevins Town, a branch in the northeastern part of Kampala City, agricultural meteorological expert Morse has conducted more than ten years of inspection and monitoring, and has a thorough understanding of agricultural production safety issues and Kampala Municipality officials conducted an in-depth report.
Morse: “Generally, the increase of forests and vegetation will reduce the annual runoff of rivers. Of course, the impact of forests and other vegetation on climate is relatively complex. Under certain factors, the opposite may occur. However, it is certain that ensuring forests and vegetation under suitable climate conditions will do more good than harm to the overall climate.”
"So my opinion is that it is best to ensure that the area maintains its forest and vegetation in its original state, so that problems are less likely to occur. In layman's terms, it means trying to maintain the local ecological balance as much as possible, and on the premise of respecting the laws of nature, Transform local agriculture."
Helving, director of the Kampala City Agriculture Bureau, asked: "Mr. Morse, do you mean that we are detrimental to local agricultural development?"
To Helwein, what Morse just said seemed to be criticizing the damage to the local ecology during agricultural development in East Africa. After all, a large number of forests and grasslands were destroyed during the development of farmland and water conservancy, and were replaced by large area of farmland.
Morse waved his hand and said: "I didn't say that. What I mean is that human beings are currently weak in the face of nature, so the development of our agriculture must be carefully considered, not that local agriculture is Unfavorable."
Looking at the puzzled expressions on the faces of Helwain and other East African officials, Morse could only explain: "I will not beat around the bush. My plans for agricultural development can be summarized as follows. A few points: First, we need to restore necessary forests or vegetation. As for what is necessary, we need to adapt to local conditions. For example, some areas with low rainfall are not suitable for large-scale development of cultivated land. Second, we need to build more reservoirs or develop more cultivated land. Protect local waters. Through my local research for several years, I have found that the more reservoirs, the more beneficial it is to the agricultural development in the region. Of course, we are already on the coast of the Great Lakes, so there is no need to spend a lot of time to build relevant water conservancy facilities. Just build.”
"I mentioned these two points to ensure that the local climate will not be changed due to excessive agricultural development. If excessive agricultural development leads to soil erosion, reduced precipitation, land desertification and other problems, it will be difficult for the local built buildings Agricultural ecology is a devastating blow."
"To put it simply, local resources must be developed appropriately so that the water can flow steadily rather than being exhausted."
In Ernst. Under the influence, East Africa has become the region richest in environmental ecology scholars in the world, and their knowledge and theoretical level have also continued to improve with the development of East Africa as a whole and the passage of time.
“Moderation!” This is the key word Helwein captured.
Morse: "Yes, the key point is moderation. This is most obvious in Asia. I will take the Mesopotamia in the Middle East as an example. In ancient times, the Mesopotamia gave birth to relatively mature countries such as Babylon. Civilization, and with the increase in population, the residents of the two river basins have over-exploited the local area, making the climate in the basins drier, forests degraded, deserts annexed farmland, and many areas are gradually no longer suitable for agricultural production. ”
At this point, even if Helvain didn't have much knowledge, he could basically understand it.
There is no way around this. Helvain has passed the best age for learning, and he entered the East African government through military service, so he relies heavily on these professionals in regional governance.
This is also the current situation in East African countries. Although East Africa has established a relatively complete education system and cultivated a large number of basic talents, this system has only matured in recent years.
Previously, the East African government officials were mainly composed of low-educated personnel like Helwein, and it would take almost ten to ten years to wait for talents with higher academic qualifications and knowledge levels to replace the East African government. Twenty years.
The current development model of industry and agriculture in East Africa is still relatively rough, so people like Helwein are barely enough. When East Africa's industry and agriculture develop further, more professional personnel will be needed to manage it.
