Chapter 1273 Nicholas II stepped down
This situation is very easy to understand, that is, there is a lot of land and you are willful! East Africa itself is the second largest country in the world, after Russia.
The arable land area in East Africa is larger than that in Russia, and the grain output per unit area is much larger than that in Russia. Coupled with the long-term decline in international grain prices, under this situation, there is no need to expand agricultural land in East Africa. scale.
Although East Africa does not have fertile black soil like Ukraine, the hydrothermal conditions in East Africa are much stronger than those in Russia, so the grain output in East Africa is already higher than that in Russia. Of course, the price is that the quality and taste of the grain are not as good as those in Russia. European and American countries.
However, this is mainly reflected in wheat cultivation, like rice cultivation. At present, the taste and quality of East African rice are close to the level of Far Eastern countries, and the output is far ahead of East Asian countries.
Coupled with the fact that the population density of East Africa is not high in the first place and the rapid urbanization of East Africa and other factors, East Africa is fully capable of ensuring agricultural production while taking into account some ecological and environmental issues.
The Lake Malawi Rhino Park in East Africa was established on this basis. After all, if the problem of food and clothing cannot be solved, the East African government will not have the time to take care of these "animals".
Archduke Ferdinand asked: "Since these rhinos were originally introduced for the pharmaceutical industry, have you got any results now?"
The staff shook their heads and replied: "Nothing. great progress, but it has also improved the formulation of some medicines to a certain extent. "Rhinoceros horn is mainly used to make Angong pills to treat brain diseases such as stroke. Experts from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association have not discovered its special ingredients, so it can only be used experimentally. method, constantly summarizing the best ratio, and sampling.”
"The main task of our park now is to continue to expand the rhino population to ensure the supply of pharmaceutical raw materials. Maybe someone will discover the secret in the future."
Angong Pill is a kind of special medicine. For some people, It can be said to have excellent curative effects, but with the current scientific and technological means in East Africa, it is difficult to conquer its secrets.
So medical researchers in East Africa can only improve the value of this special medicine through continuous experiments. It is best to describe it as knowing what it is, but not knowing why.
Of course this is not "metaphysics", but it is temporarily unknown, so it can only be demonstrated through "experiments".
This is also an important way for the development of the pharmaceutical industry in East Africa in the past. Many pharmaceuticals produced in East Africa have been determined through summary and experiments, but a large part of them have not cracked the principle.
After hearing this, Archduke Ferdinand was not depressed, but took out his drawing board and began to draw the Sumatran rhinoceros.
This can be regarded as returning to his old career. When he was young, Archduke Ferdinand liked to study animals and plants. Now after retirement, he took his wife with him, hoping to draw various creatures he saw in East Africa and write a book about them. Into a volume.
Of course, the East African government is not at ease with Archduke Ferdinand, so it usually arranges for personnel to follow Archduke Ferdinand to prevent him from going into some dangerous situations.
After all, Archduke Ferdinand had a bold plan to go deep into the Latin American rainforest when he was young, so Ernst could only arrange for someone to watch his father-in-law.
Archduke Ferdinand did not lack the spirit of adventure, otherwise he would not have been deceived by Napoleon III and ran to Mexico to become emperor. This can be seen from Ernst's experience.
When the East African colony was established, Ernst did not rush to East Africa to die. Instead, he waited until the local area was initially developed before arriving in East Africa to take command.
......
The Archduke Ferdinand and his wife are running around in East Africa, which will naturally make Ernst and Queen Karina worried. However, it is impossible for the two of them to really interfere with Ferdinand. Archduke Ferdinand’s retirement life. After all, Archduke Ferdinand was not young, so it would be better to live a relatively free life.
At this time, in the Rhine Palace, Ernst was looking at a letter and a telegram sent from the East African Embassy in Russia.
"Your Majesty, here is a telegram from the Embassy in Russia. There was a coup in Russia and Nicholas II was forced to step down!"
"At the same time, we received two letters from Nicholas II. This one is written to you by Nicholas II, and this one is written to Alexei and the others." Alexei and the others are speaking. They are the Russian Crown Prince and Princess, Crown Prince Alexei, Princess Maria and Princess Anastasia who are currently relaxing in East Africa.
Hearing the news of Nicholas II's resignation, Ernst's expression changed and asked: "What is the current situation in Russia?"
"What is happening in Russia rebellion, Nicholas II has now been forced to step down. These two letters are He entrusted our embassy to send it back."
Ernst opened the envelope written by Nicholas II to himself and read: "Emperor Ernst, my brother, now... must not. Let the three people return to Russia, and I hope you can help take care of the three people.”
After reading the letter, Ernst also understood Nicholas II's plan. It can be said that Nicholas II was threatened by all forces in Russia to abdicate.
However, some forces agreed to elect a new tsar. Crown Prince Alexei was naturally the first choice, but Nicholas II did not want his son to return to the country at this time.
The reason is also very simple. Nicholas II had a premonition of danger, which is also easy to understand. In his previous life, Nicholas II did not choose Crown Prince Alexei to become the new tsar, and finally elected his brother Mi Hayer, of course, in the end Mikhail obviously did not succeed in becoming Russia's new czar.
At present, the situation in Russia can be said to be very complicated. Under the joint promotion of the bourgeoisie, workers, soldiers, farmers, and even some nobles, Nicholas II was unable to recover.
However, the current domestic situation in Russia is still very dangerous. After all, the nobles want a new czar to succeed, the capitalists want to establish a new republican government, and the Labor Party wants to form a new regime.
Today, Nicholas II's resignation does not mean the end of Russia's political struggle, but only the beginning of this struggle.
In the letter, Nicholas II bluntly confessed to Ernst: "Alexei is too young. Even if he ascends the throne, he will be nothing more than a puppet of rebellious officials and traitors."
Furthermore, Alexei is the son of Nicholas II after all. If Alexei becomes the Tsar, will he be liquidated in the future? This is a common occurrence in Russian politics.
So, Nicholas II asked Ernst to protect the three crown princes Alexei and wait until Russia's domestic politics stabilized before deciding what to do based on the situation.
However, Ernst shook his head, thinking that Nicholas II might have no future, and it would be considered his kindness to help him take care of the three Crown Princes Alexei.
Of course, when Ernst originally invited Alexei and other members of the Russian royal family, it was obviously impossible not to allow them to play a role.
Ernst said to his subordinates: "I am afraid that changes in the domestic situation in Russia will continue and intensify. Please draft a telegram to Nicholas II and ask him if he is willing to go to East Africa for political asylum at home?"
It is still possible for Nicholas II to escape if he stays in Russia at this time, so Ernst issued this order. The rest depends on whether Nicholas II is decisive enough.
If you continue to have illusions, the last Russian tsar may repeat the same mistakes as his previous life, and eventually his body will be gone.
And if he can make up his mind to seek refuge in East Africa, it is not impossible. After all, the royalists in Russia are still there, and the new Russian government is not yet a labor government. At least the labor government has not yet put forward the demand for "abolition of the imperial system" .
Therefore, if Nicholas II chooses to escape Russia, a place of right and wrong, there is still a high possibility, and Ernst is willing to help him.
After all, East Africa is considered a "foreign force", and a large overseas country is quite a deterrent, at least to the Russian bourgeois government.
Ernst continued: "Go and call Maxim and the four of them back! I think Nicholas II should have a lot to say to the three of Alexei in the letter."< br>
