Mtewala is located on the eastern shore of Mikindani Bay, a natural deep-water harbour in southern Tanzania.

As the first pass after the restructuring of the new administrative division, the construction of the port of Mtewara was put in the first place.

Its construction work was carried out by the Ron Roda government and staff from the Upper Marina District.

The scale of the initial construction, after completion, will be able to dock about two ships, so that the fleet arriving from Europe can be diverted here.

Two ships could distribute Austro-Hungarian immigrants in a few hundred at a time, plus the arrivals from the Far East, which would be enough to meet the population needs of the Lower Primorsky and the Lake East Malawi region.

As Ernst pondered and reviewed the Paraguayan War, he actually had a kind of worry in his heart.

Counting the tragedy of the Paraguayan War, it is ostensibly that Paraguayan leader López aspires to become Paraguay's Napoleon, using advanced troops to defend Paraguay's own interests (territorial disputes and autonomy between Paraguay and its neighbors), and finally provoke the three countries to fight.

In fact, the Paraguayan War was behind the shadow of the British, affected by the American Civil War, Britain lost its agricultural market in North America, so it sought to make up for its losses in North America through trade and economic expansion into South America.

From 1857 onwards, the British began the construction of railways linking the most important agricultural areas and ports in these countries by agreement with the federal governments of Argentina and Brazil.

At the same time, Britain wanted the Paraná and Paraguay rivers to be completely free and to trade duty-free with the Argentine interior provinces and the Barraguay.

Paraguay is firmly opposed to this. However, since the Paraná River could lead from Buenos Aires through Paraguay to the rich regions of the southern tip of Brazil, the British had to crush Paraguay's resistance anyway.

In addition, Britain hoped that by financing Brazil and Argentina in the war, it would "destroy the seedlings of their independence, and thus gradually bring them under their control in order to gain a firm position in South America." Before the outbreak of war, Britain did its best to ignite the flames of war.

The script played by the British in South America is the same as the continental balance of power they played on the European continent, and they all rely on stirring up contradictions among countries in the region in order to achieve their own goals

As a traditional British performing arts, we have to guard against the fact that Britain actually used similar means in Africa in the past life.

For example, the conflict between the Boers and the Zulu kingdom, the dispute between Germany and France in Morocco.

Ernst had nothing to do with this, because in the previous life, the British solved the problems of German East Africa themselves.

In the past, Britain launched an ambitious two-C plan in Africa, that is, the British colony in Africa was extended from Cape Town, the southernmost part of Africa, to Egypt in North Africa.

At that time, the biggest obstacle to the completion of this plan by Britain was the German colony in front of southern Africa, and after the reunification of Germany, German East Africa and German Southwest Africa (Namibia) were opened up in Africa.

These two colonies just contained the British colony of South Africa, one east and one west were horns of each other.

And if the British want to connect the whole British African colony, they can't avoid German East Africa, after all, German East Africa is bordered by the Congo rainforest to the west.

Tropical rainforests are also known as green deserts, and the difficulty of development can be imagined, and a flood season can make the British feel the power of nature, (refer to the Amazon rainforest video), even in the 21st century, tropical rainforests are extremely difficult to develop.

In the previous life, German East Africa was completely backed by Germany, and there was some power to fight back.

Now Ernst's East African colony is not closely related to Germany, after all, German East Africa is an overseas territory directly administered by the German government, and this East African colony is only the private domain of the Hashingen royal family.

In the previous life, Germany was unable to take care of its overseas territories and colonies in World War I, let alone desperately escorted Ernst's East African colonies.

Moreover, the East African colonies cannot be bound to Germany in the future, otherwise, like in the previous life, if Germany is defeated, it will not also cede the East African colonies to Britain and Portugal and other countries.

Therefore, it is impossible for Ernst to stand on the German ship all the time, and it is better for East Africa to be independent in the future.

Of course, if you want to be independent, you must stand on your own and arm yourself, otherwise anyone will take the East African colonies seriously.

What if in this life, the UK continues to promote the two Cs plan! At that time, even if Ernst turned to Germany, it might not be effective.

After all, there was a possibility of compromise between the great powers, especially if they were generous to others, and if the interests of the German government were not completely aligned with those of Ernst, they might trade the East African colonies and Britain for the interests of other regions.

This is based on history, in the previous life Germany and France fought for Morocco, at first Germany promised Moroccan supporters well, and finally under the joint oppression of the British and French, Germany still gave up Morocco, and the British and French gave Cameroon to Germany as compensation.

Therefore, it is impossible for Ernst to go to the dark with the future German government, and Ernst actively communicates with the Austro-Hungarian royal family for this reason.

Many friends and many roads, if it weren't for the backstab of Napoleon by his grandfather, Ernst now wants to climb the relationship with the Napoleon government.

As for Britain, it is likely to be a potential enemy of East African colonization in the future, and Ernst is too lazy to be in love with a cold ass.

The most important thing is that his family has nothing to do with the UK, his late mother is French, and his grandfather also has some influence in France, and some protégés and former officials.

Ernst had no contacts to talk to the British, and the Prussian crown and some countries in the North German region had ties with the British, and they often formed alliances in history.

The Ernst family was mainly active in South Germany, and before defecting to Prussia, they had been mixed with Austria and France, and most recently under Bavaria (HRE period).

Therefore, the connections are mainly in the European continent, and it is difficult for the British to interfere in the affairs of the South German region, and there is no Baden, Württemberg, Bavaria, and the British government does not look at you.

However, the Hehingen royal family can still carry the banner of the Hohenzollern family, and Prussia under the rule of the Hohenzollern family, plus Romania, is still quite popular in Europe.

The Heshingen royal family also had some connections in other countries, such as Sweden, Russia, and Austria by marriage. These were the forces of public opinion that Ernst could win over in Europe.

It is better to have good relations with so many European countries in the future than to hang yourself from a tree in Germany, and of course, before the outbreak of World War I, the East African colonies were good and reliable partners of Germany.

The interests of the German government and Ernst are not completely identical, but the interests of the Prussian royal family and their own family are the same, they are both members of the Hohenzollern family, and they can pull one hand at a time.

Speaking of which, if the East African colonies were threatened by the British in the future, they would mainly rely on their own strength, and count on the uncertainty of others.

The establishment of the port of Mtewara is to strengthen the power of East Africa on the southern border, and a large number of weapons and supplies can be transported through this port to the Lower Coastal District and the Lake East Malawi area for stockpiling.

As we all know, Britain and Portugal are good enough to wear a pair of pants, and in the previous life, the two countries worked together to destroy German East Africa and German South-West Africa.

Therefore, the Portuguese had to defend, and the two colonies already bordered, and the subsequent direction of Zimbabwe and Zambia was inevitably clashed with the Portuguese.

It is always safe to arm the southern part of the East African colonies first, and as for the north, now the eight northwestern countries are already in a half-dead state, just wait for the plague to end, and the East African colonial army will directly go over and accept it.

To the northeast, the player is not in the climate, except for some tribes, the strongest are Abyssinia (Ethiopia) and the Ottoman Empire.

But there was practically no border between the East African colonies and the two countries, separated by a number of minor religious states and indigenous powers.

Moreover, the Ottoman Empire's emaciated camels were bigger than horses, which buffered the speed of Western countries' development of Africa.

Stretching from the Balkans to Algeria, vast lands were under the rule of the Ottoman Empire.

The Ottoman Empire itself was contained by Western countries, and the domestic situation was relatively turbulent and unable to expand, which better covered the early development of the East African colonies.

The half-dead Ottoman Empire was a true friend of the East African colonies, which could block the attention of Western powers in Africa and pose no threat to the East African colonies.

As for the Abyssinian Empire and the Ottoman Empire, the same dilemma was faced.
