Education in the East African colonies was educational, and through the inculcation of this knowledge, the outbreaks of local diseases in East Africa were greatly reduced, while the health and survival rates of immigrants were improved.

At present, the colonies of East Africa are much better at disease prevention and control than those in South America that have been developed for hundreds of years.

That is, the East African colony has just been built, so it looks relatively poor and does not appear very rich.

This is especially reflected in the ugliness and roughness of the appearance of the building, especially in East Africa, the earlier the development of the building, the more so, because there is no template to refer to, the more natural it is not beautiful, in addition to the clothing is also very monotonous and uniform, but these are external.

In fact, East Africa has invested far more in other areas than its colonies or independent countries at the same latitude, mainly in education, health and infrastructure.

For example, roads and other infrastructure, although the quality is not high, but the colonial government of East Africa is seriously repairing it, first solving the problem of whether there is or not, and other countries in the same latitude rarely have East Africa like this, or they have no opportunity.

Colonies, literally, are places used by colonists to parasitize, especially in the current era, when Western countries are simply sucking blood in their colonies.

The East African colonies were built by Ernst as a country, and the treatment was naturally different, and it was a waste to over-squeeze the potential of East Africa.

Moreover, at present, East Africa has no strong enemies on all sides, and it can develop with peace of mind, and no one has noticed this small place in the corner.

The needs of people are nothing more than the four most important things in food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation of East Africans are now giving priority to solving the problems of transportation and food, and they have been working towards two aspects.

As for clothing and housing, it's okay to make do with it at the moment, anyway, the weather in East Africa, even if the lowest is not lower than ten degrees, there is nothing to worry about.

At present, East Africa is a colony specializing in agricultural development, and the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the immigrants far exceed the world average in terms of food and drink, so it is not too urgent.

The problem of transportation is the biggest problem in East Africa, so in infrastructure construction, we need to build more roads, dig more canals, and raise more livestock to be used as transportation capacity.

If the problem of travel is solved, European materials and equipment can be transferred to East Africa, and East African grain can be sold, so this is a two-way economic problem.

One million indigenous laborers are fighting on the front line of road construction in East Africa, contributing to the transportation construction of East Africa.

Therefore, next to the road, it is necessary to dig drainage canals, which should not be small in scale, enough to cope with the heavy rains in the rainy season in East Africa and prevent the roads from being washed away by rainwater.

In the absence of specialized machinery available, indigenous people can only be used extensively to do these jobs.

East Africa is not just building roads, but also a network of water, and rainwater collects into these canals during the rainy season, rather than spreading directly through the grasslands, as in the past.

By channeling rainwater into rivers, lakes and low-lying areas, you are grabbing a piece of land that has the potential to become arable land in the rain-soaked plainlands during the rainy season.

Precipitation in East Africa is not distributed in a concentrated manner, and these ditches could also help the colonial governments of East Africa to serve as some water diversion networks in the future.

Harvesting rainwater can also improve the local environment, especially during the dry season.

It is not realistic to build reservoirs in East Africa now, but there are many natural depressions and lakes that can be used, and while East Africa is building roads, rainwater from all over the country is also channeled into the depressions and lakes through the ditches next to the roads.

Some temporary wild reservoirs have been formed, so that much rainwater can flow down the terrain and finally flow into the Indian Ocean.

Hausingen Manor.

"Ernst!" Prince Konstantin suddenly got up from the recliner and shouted to his son excitedly.

Holding the edge of the chair with one hand and the newspaper in the other, Konstantin asked, "Have you read today's newspaper?" ”

Ernst indifferently took the teacup, added some hot water to himself, took a sip on his lips, and then said, "Of course, father, it's just a trivial matter. ”

"Oh my God, your heart is really big, this kind of thing is still a small thing, this is an event that affects the pattern of the European continent." Konstantin said.

He continued: "I can't imagine that the world is changing faster and faster. ”

Ernst comforted: "As long as the European pattern does not affect our interests, let him change freely!" ”

"That's right, but it's not without impact, now that the Spanish ****** has fled to France, the Spanish monarchy must choose a monarch from the royal families of Europe." Konstantin said meaningfully.

"Father, the situation in Spain is very bad, especially in the future, it will continue to decline at a visible rate, there is no unified voice in the country, and local autonomy is also very strong." Ernst said rationally.

Konstantin was still a little unwilling: "But what if it succeeds!" ”

Ernst only said one sentence: "French! ”

Konstantin instantly understood.

"Looks like I'm in a hurry!"

"In fact, anyone who has such a big opportunity in front of them is likely to be unable to resist the temptation, father, but we don't want to be the first bird, and there is no need to take such a big risk." Ernst was relieved.

"After all, Spain is also a big country today, who doesn't blush when they see it!" As for the risk, Konstantin sighed, it doesn't feel bad for the temptation of the monarchy.

"Our interests in Heshingen are in Germany, in East Africa, except in Spain, where Massimiliano I is still in good condition! This has already been learned from the past, and it is natural to take it as a warning. Ernst said.

"Indeed, with the current complicated situation in Spain, even a politician like me may not be a match for those old guys, especially now that they still have force in their hands." Konstantin said.

"It's nothing, the main thing is that Spain is too old, and many things can't be changed, so it's not worth investing at all." Ernst said.

"Now the situation in East Africa is much better than Spain, the land area in Europe is second only to Tsarist Russia, not that kind of rotten land, the population is almost two million this year, and the comprehensive resources are far more than a large number of European countries." Speaking of this, Ernst felt a sense of accomplishment.

The main thing is that the East African colonies are new enough, and all the order and rules are customized by themselves, and with the current situation in the East African colonies, Ernst has no problem proclaiming himself a native emperor.

And if you really go to Spain, how can it be so easy, it is all old slippery heads and real power, to be honest, the Habsburgs are more powerful there than the Hohenzollerns.

At the end of September 1868, the Spanish military junta overthrew Elisabeth Alexandra Marie's rule, and the queen eventually fled to France, leaving the Spanish throne temporarily vacant.

As in history, the Spaniards were the first to target the Hohenzollerns, and of course Prussian Prime Minister Bismarck played a major role.

After Bismarck's use of the money law, the Spanish government chose the Hohenzollerns without restraint.

Naturally, the royal family did not show any interest in this matter, and both Konstantin and his son made it clear that Hexingen had no interest in Spain at the moment.

The baton of history is back next door to Prince Leopold of the Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen royal family.

Personally, Leopold was not very willing to wade into the troubled waters of Spain, but now the interests of his family and kingdom were involved, so Leopold hesitated, but soon, the French would help Leopold make a decision.
