In mid-July, the reform of the army and government was nearing completion, and through this reform, East Africa finally took on the appearance of a country.

No matter how you look at it, the new government looks like the "Heixingen Metropolitan State", the full name of the East African colony is the Heixingen East African Crown Territory, and the monarch is also the former Heixingen Metropolitan Monarch.

Some of Konstantin's old subordinates have also completed laid-off reemployment, mainly in some newly established less critical departments, after all, others came first!

The Heshingen Royal Guard was also re-established on a large scale and was responsible for the garrison of the First Town.

It is a new "old country" that blends the styles of Heshingen, Prussian, Austrian, and colonial.

The emphasis on "Heshingenbe" rather than "Heshingen's pro-kingdom" is an important signal that the pro-kingdom will always be the pro-kingdom of Prussia, which was once an independent European state.

Although Heixinggen is small, it may not have no mandate of heaven, it is all mixed by Germany, how can it fight for the orthodoxy of the HRE, after all, there are many countries that rely on "rubbing" Rome, and it is not beautiful to "rub" a Shinra!

Of course, this is a joke, Constantine and Ernst are not so stupid, Taoguang is the strategy of the Heixingen royal family, and this part of East Africa does not need to touch porcelain "Rome" at all, Germany is enough.

This time, the new government of East Africa has seen the emergence of many new institutions, the most eye-catching of which has to be the navy.

Not surprisingly, the commander-in-chief of the East African Navy was Massimiliano I, who held various titles such as former Emperor of Mexico and Archduke of Austria.

said that he was eye-catching, not because of his identity, but because of the entire East African Navy, after removing the 800 sailors who had just been gathered and the two Zanzibar wrecked ships that were nearly half a hundred years old, he was a bare-bones commander.

Political competence aside, Massimiliano I, who became commander-in-chief of the Austrian Navy in 1854, was indeed the only and best choice for the East African navy. (I will send a free single chapter to introduce it - referring to the encyclopedia)

In the East African army, the army has the ability to coordinate the overall situation, and it is undoubtedly Prince Constantine, after all, Constantine is also the top group of people in the Prussian army.

Now, as long as the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Massimiliano I, copied and pasted his set in the Austrian Navy to East Africa, the title of "Father of the East African Navy" will be indispensable in the future.

This was a good thing for both East Africa and Massimiliano I, who would have been able to clear his name at least halfway if it had been done.

Later generations will also change their evaluation from "idiot" to "He may not be a good emperor, but he is naturally suitable for working in the navy." ”

Therefore, Ernst "gave enough" his father-in-law a chance, and it was up to him to see if he could grasp it.

……

"Ferdinand, the fate of the navy of East Africa is in your hands, and I think he will be able to shine in your hands." Konstantin said with a smile to Massimiliano I.

But Massimiliano I was not happy, and he said to Konstantin with a sad face: "Your Excellency, thank you very much for your trust, but this matter is too difficult for me, and the foundation of East Africa is too thin!" ”

Not only is the foundation thin, but there is no foundation at all, the navies of other countries are poor as pants, and the East African Navy does not even have a pair of pants.

Two mottled wooden sailing ships, in disrepair, barely able to be launched with sewing and patchwork only a month ago, Massimiliano I feared that they would sink to the bottom of the sea at any time and that the East African Navy would simply "collapse".

"Hehehe, do you work hard! Just as the East African colonies grew from scratch to the size they are today, I believe that the navy can also be developed with the ability of Yiling.

If you think about the Austrian Navy back then, how could it have had the opportunity to become world-famous without your capable leadership? Konstantin touted.

"Your Excellency, although I also want to show my strength in East Africa and contribute to the East African Navy, I must give some support!

Although I have made some achievements in the Austrian Navy, Austria is there after all, and even the old fleet before the reform is now a force to be reckoned with in Europe.

Moreover, I was begging for people in Austria at that time, and I was able to get some support from the royal family and the government, which led to the current Austrian navy.

I can't just build an East African navy out of thin air with these two rotten ships and 800 inexperienced sailors!

In my opinion, even any merchant ship of the Heingen consortium could easily sink the current so-called "East African Navy". ”

Among the ocean-going ships of the Hexingen consortium, the most inferior are the warships left by the Sultanate of Zanzibar, but those that could be driven at that time and had no major problems were used as migrant ships, and the rest are the two broken ships of the current East African Navy.

"Of course I know your difficulties, but now East Africa is also difficult! Ernst said that he had too much to do in recent times, and he urgently needed money, even if it was a gunboat, he would not be able to do it until next year.

So don't be anxious, life will get better eventually, although the East African Navy is poor and white, but this is more meaningful to you.

You want to! Even if you did a great job for the Austrian Navy in the past, who still remembers you, if you don't take the initiative to ask, it is estimated that the Austrians will soon forget that you have been in the Navy.

Even if someone remembers, they remember it first, oh! There was a Massimiliano I who went to Mexico to become emperor, and now I don't know where to live! Instead of, our Commander-in-Chief of the Austrian Navy, Archduke Ferdinand.

So to wash away the shame is to start again from East Africa, although East Africa is remote, but also has its benefits, no one pays attention here, and when you really make achievements, it will definitely be impressive, Archduke Friedrich (the father of the modern Austrian navy, before the Austrian navy was the Venetian navy) is your role model.

How good is the name of the father of a country's navy, if you are a little more capable and let the East African navy develop to the European level, then you will have a place in the entire naval history. Konstantin provoked with despicable means.

"Well, it's not without support to say so much!"

"Ernst and I support you spiritually, but rest assured, according to the speed of development in East Africa, we will definitely be able to help you achieve your goals in less than fifty years, you are still young, and things will always get better."

"I have a hunch that this Commander-in-Chief of the East African Navy may be the second wrong decision in my life, but forget it, I don't have any other choice now!

But let's talk about it first, I don't dare to think about warships or anything, but I have to be ruthless in the management of personnel, and the foundation in East Africa is too thin, so I plan to train the personnel first.

You ask Ernst to pick a batch of good seedlings, and I will arrange to study at the Royal Naval Academy of Austria, and I will be responsible for the selection of gunboats next year, which is not difficult! ”

"Of course no problem!" Konstantin said forcefully.

What is waiting for is the words of Massimiliano I, what is the most important thing for Massimiliano I? Of course, it's his identity, but also his energy in Austria.

As long as Massimiliano I opened his mouth to Austria, could Franz not support it? This is not a bad thing, it is better than letting his brother risk his life to become emperor.

Moreover, with the first time, there was a second time, and what the East African Navy lacked in the future, it was naturally up to Massimiliano I to go to Austria to coordinate.

The army is on par with Prussia, and the navy naturally has to be "thick-skinned" and prostitute more resources for nothing, which is most suitable for Massimiliano I to do, such as the Royal Naval Academy of Austria, let Ernst or Prince Constantine come forward to contact, even if they agree, they may not do their best.

But Massimiliano I is different, most of the bigwigs in the Austrian Navy are his former subordinates, these people are now the pillars of the Austrian Navy, Massimiliano I asked them to do something, it was not easy.

As long as they put a little pressure on the Royal Naval Academy of Austria, no one dares to take it seriously, after all, students are not employed in the navy after graduation.

Of course, this is just an exaggeration, in fact, many teachers in the Austrian Royal Navy also came out of the Austrian Navy and had a close relationship with Massimiliano I, and no one would be so blind.
