Capítulo 541: Chapter 539
Chapter 539 Neighbor Theory
"Uncle Carl, this time you will stay in the first town first. Colonial development requires a process, especially in Africa, and it needs to be done with caution. So you might as well stay in the first town to contact Leopold and the others. At the same time, we can monitor the progress of colonization."
It is also appropriate to invite Prince Karl to stay in the first town. It is impossible for a 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, there is no space left by black people in East Africa. Occupied, 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. Therefore, 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. However, as long as we follow the experience of East Africa, in Chad, It shouldn't be difficult to do it again, and 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. They have experienced the development of East African colonies from scratch, encountered various difficulties, and finally overcome them, so they are 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 the literacy rate.
At the same time, the East African army has a certain amount of medical experience. Basically every soldier has some, 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 establish a colony in Chad and incorporate the area you are talking about into Sigmaringen, or even go further?"
Ernst thought for a moment and replied: "If it is just to establish a colonial order, just like a normal colony, it will only take a few years, and the number of colonists does not even need to be many. 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 was 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 violence tactics and human sea tactics in Africa were not mainstream. After all, Ernst was aiming to enclose land and build a country from the beginning, not to simply plunder the wealth of Africa.
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 build a big country. If it were in Europe, Hechingen would not have This opportunity."
"African land is easy to get now, but now is also the last window period, especially in Central and West Africa. The competition is much more intense than when we colonized East Africa before. However, their colonization was carried out from the west coast of Africa to the inland, so the internal Lu was the breakthrough point in 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 it were a few decades ago, during the heyday of the Zanzibar Sultanate, it would have been 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.
"Now countries are competing for each other in West Africa. Correspondingly, they are pulling each other's energy in the coastal areas, but it is difficult to explore inland. So Uncle Carl, you'd better complete the construction of the colonial framework within a few years, and then it will be too late. I may not even be able to drink soup for a few years."
"Furthermore, these lands cover 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."
Romania's climate environment is of course 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 distributed in the north.
Romania is most well-known for its oil resources, which can be said to be Germany's 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.
Therefore, 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. Southern Chad is suitable for farming. The area is larger than the whole of Romania.
"No problem. According to your opinion, we just need to go there first to staking the claim, and then we can consolidate our local advantage in the next few years, right?"
"Yes, Uncle Carl, now we have to act quickly 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 zones 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 from falling into the 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 adopt German as the only official language like East Africa in the future, and it is naturally culturally similar. Sigmaringen has the best relationship with the royal family of Hechingen, so there is no conflict of interest.
Therefore, 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 is not the United States. nation.
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 the 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 get too bad in the future. This is just like society. A good neighbor always makes people feel comfortable. A bad neighbor is probably like the countries surrounding the Far Eastern Empire, but even so in the Far East. The empire also had to maintain fragile neighborly relations. After all, wars in its surrounding areas also affected the economy and investment environment of the Far Eastern Empire.
This is also the reason why Ernst does 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. Many of them were driven out by East Africa, so it is better not to get too close. good.
