Confirmed to play as Edward. Green's choice was simple, and Khloe easily found a spy from the England branch of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce named Brad to play the role.

In order to convince people, when Kohler was picking, he also specially asked people to get a portrait of Baron Ferreira, compared the portraits, found one that looked more similar to Baron Ferreira, and then chose Brad.

That is, if Brad starts with "Edward. Green" went to Portugal to "visit relatives", it is estimated that no one else will suspect it. Because, the two do look very similar. After all, Kohler picks people based on portrait comparisons.

After settling the "actor" selection, Marin sent someone to secretly inform Baron Ferreira. Although he was a little dissatisfied with Marin's use of his dead cousin's identity, he still chose to cooperate in the face of huge family interests.

Then, it's time for the specific development plan......

Marin gathered his brains, such as Haider and Machiavelli, two civilian officials that Marin focused on cultivating. Prime Minister Jeffrey and Prime Minister Mikel are both old, and in a few years, Haider and Machiavelli may take over.

In terms of talent, it seems that Machiavelli is stronger. But Haider is not bad, after all, he graduated from the University of Cologne in this era and belongs to high-achieving students. Moreover, Heider was the first high-level talent to follow him, and in terms of trust, he definitely surpassed Machiavelli, an Italian. In other words, Haider will be prime minister in the future. Machiavelli, on the other hand, will become the second civil official such as the second minister. This is already very rare for a foreigner from Italy.

In fact, Marin has always been very prejudiced against Italians because of Italy's comic performance in World War II. Even immigration to the Americas does not take into account Italians.

Later, after Felis, an Italian, obtained the vast fiefdom of Uruguay for his youngest son Giuliano, because he was Italian and friendly to Italians, he was willing to immigrate to Uruguay.

Under the influence of Felis, Marin also agreed to accept Italian immigrants. In addition, South America is not actually the area that Marin focuses on, and it is better to get some Italians to develop it in the past. After all, there are too few native Germans, and the development of North America alone is overstretched, so how can there be idlers to develop South America?

Then, in the past two years, Marín has sent more than 20,000 Italian peasants to La Plata and Uruguay. Italy has been at war all these years, and there are many war refugees. If Marin hadn't been afraid of being too conspicuous, he would have emigrated 100,000 Italians.

More than 20,000 Italian immigrants immediately accelerated the development of the area of the Rio de la Plata. Because it is much easier to develop grasslands than forests. As a result, the mouth of the Río de la Plata soon opened up an additional 450,000 acres of arable land. Today, there are more than 600,000 acres of arable land in the area of La Plata. The population is also as high as more than 30,000 people. In addition, there were 1,500 Cossack cavalry, who were responsible for clearing and hunting down the nearby natives.

It is said that in the colony of La Plata, in addition to more than 30,000 immigrants, there were more than 10,000 native Indian slaves captured by Cossack cavalry. These indigenous Indians, though not very good at farming. However, it is still no problem to lay hands, herd sheep, dig rivers, and repair houses with rice and flour. In addition, it can also be sent to pave the road. After all, the cement pavement promoted by Marin is still very simple to pave.

……

For the development of the Cape of Good Hope, Marin gave the requirement to develop a supply station for the voyage to the East, which could provide food and fresh water. At the same time, it can also provide ship repair services. Then, it will also serve as a springboard, as a main base for hunting rhinos.

In any case, South Africa is the region with the highest rhino population. Although it does not account for more than 80% of the world's population as in later generations, the current number is definitely significant.

In later generations, there were about 20,000 rhinos in South Africa. It doesn't seem like much, but it should be taken into account that it is under the premise that South Africa is already highly developed. At this time, Marin estimated that much of South Africa had not been developed. Therefore, the total number of rhinos in South Africa this year may reach hundreds of thousands. With so many rhinos, it is definitely enough to provide Marin with rhino skins to make armor.

At the same time, by hunting rhinos, Marin's hunting party was able to discover the road to the interior and reach what would become the Johannesburg region, the largest gold producing area of later generations.

After discussions with his subordinates, everyone agreed that the development of the land near the Cape of Good Hope (i.e., farming) and the hunting of rhinos were secondary. First, a town was to be established at the Cape of Good Hope, where immigrants would be given a foothold and not be driven away by the local natives. Then the second step is to consider the establishment of a port to provide food and fresh water for passing ships, as well as ship repair operations.

To this end, Marin directly ordered that a ship be sent to transport a batch of bricks and timber to the Cape of Good Hope for the construction of a town and a port, as well as a simple ship repair yard.

In fact, the best option for building a fortress at the Cape of Good Hope was cement. But Marin needs to hide his relationship with Baron Ferreira. Therefore, the cement with the characteristics of Beihai is not usable. As a result, only simple bonding of bricks and clay was used to build coastal forts and harbors. Moreover, it is enough to guard against and resist the local indigenous people.

At the moment, the black natives near the Cape of Good Hope are probably the San and Khoi. They were the true indigenous people of the area, and the Bantu people, who later made up the majority of South Africa's population, actually migrated south from East Africa.

The level of civilization of the local natives was very low, and there could be no artillery, and there were no siege equipment such as trebuchets. Therefore, the castle is made of ordinary bricks, and yellow clay is used as a binder, which is sufficient.

However, it was too difficult to gain a foothold in the Cape of Good Hope in the early stage, not to mention whether the castle would be attacked when it was built, and the food supply in the early days alone was a big problem. Just like Jamestown, England's first colonial stronghold in North America, was later besieged by local natives and cut off food, and even had a tragedy of eating the corpses of his accomplices.

Therefore, if any colony wants to gain a foothold quickly, in addition to building fortifications such as castles, it also needs a stable source of food to avoid starvation.

Marin took the map, looked at it, and found that it seemed that transporting food from the mainland was very difficult and costly. The most terrible thing is that if the grain ship is delayed, the people of the Cape of Good Hope colony will probably go hungry.

However, after looking westward, Marin immediately found a way to mobilize food from the colony of La Plata......

Today, the colony of La Plata has more than 600,000 acres of arable land, and there is too much food to eat, much of which is used to feed livestock. In this case, it is more than enough to come up with some support for the Cape of Good Hope colony.

Moreover, the Hoffmann Castle (Buenos Aires) at the mouth of the Río de la Plata and the Cape of Good Hope are about the same latitude, both at about 34 degrees south latitude, almost horizontally opposite. In addition, they are located in the "prevailing westerly wind belt" between 30 degrees south latitude and 60 degrees south latitude. From Hoffmannburg (Buenos Aires) to the Cape of Good Hope, sailing can be almost a smooth ride. Just cross the Atlantic Ocean to reach the Cape of Good Hope. As for the return trip, although it was headwind, with the upper edge of the blister "invented" by Marin, the impact on speed was much smaller.

In addition, the colony of La Plata could not only provide enough food for the colony of the Cape of Good Hope, but also provide an early labor force to speed up the construction of the castle and port......

Kohler, as secretary of state, also participated in the meeting and took notes. Before the meeting ended, Kohler suddenly asked:

"Your Majesty, what is the name of this newly built town and port at the Cape of Good Hope? Is it still called the Cape of Good Hope? Or is it called Cape Storm? ”

Marin was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while, and finally said:

"Let's call it Cape Town......"

"Or?" Kohler didn't quite understand why Marlin used the word "yet." After all, no one used to call the Cape of Good Hope Cape Town......

Marin waved his hand and said:

"Don't care about this 'yet', I'm just saying it casually. From then on, the port town in the Cape of Good Hope area was called 'Cape Town'. The plan discussed earlier is called the Cape Town Development Plan......"
