It is impossible for the production of these weapons to be located in one place in Mbeya, where the industry is too much compared to other cities in East Africa, and the enrichment of industries will inevitably lead to the birth of large cities.

As a transportation hub city connecting Lake Soren (Lake Tanganyika) and Lake Malawi, Tanganyika and Zambia, Mbeya City has a high development ceiling, and at the same time is rich in local resources, especially in terms of mineral resources.

It is undeniable that large cities have many advantages, especially in terms of industrial cooperation, but Ernst himself does not like them.

Cities with too much population are not actually livable, and too few people will lead to insufficient resource utilization, or insufficient to support the development of some industries.

In the past, Ernst defined a world-class metropolis as having an urban population of more than 5 million, but now the population of the whole of East Africa has not reached 5 million, so there is some reason for worry.

However, the population growth rate of East Africa is very fast, which is the normal growth rate of Africa in the previous life, and in the 21st century, the eastern plateau alone can exceed 100 million, and East Africa will have the ability to produce cities with a population of 5 million in the future.

Therefore, Ernst's arrangement for the city of Mbeya is to cooperate with the surrounding areas for common development, and the city of Mbeya should give full play to its function as a transportation hub city as much as possible, not only to assume the overall transportation hub function of East African countries, but also to benefit the entire South Salzburg Province and the western part of Mar-lago.

To fully mobilize the development of the entire Lake Malawi Industrial Zone, rather than a single city, to put it bluntly, it is to promote the cluster development of small and medium-sized cities in the Lake Malawi Industrial Zone.

In this way, the future population and industry of the region will not all be concentrated in Mbeya City, and at the same time, it will be convenient for industrial cooperation, of course, the premise is to do a good job in local transportation construction.

……

Far East.

For the old empire in the Far East, today is really a strange thing, the East African Kingdom ambassador to the Far East Richard asked the Qing government to learn the "advanced" medical skills of the Far East, and at the same time hoped that the Qing government would send medical personnel to "help" the East African Kingdom.

Inside the Forbidden City.

Yi Xun: "I would like to inform Your Majesty, yesterday the ambassador of the East African Kingdom of Aphilica asked for medical assistance from our Celestial Empire, and he said that Africa is in distress, wild beasts are rampant, and there are endless droughts and floods, so that plagues are everywhere, hunger is floating all over the ground, there are lives in misery, and the society is in danger of overturning, so he asked the doctors of the Celestial Empire to go to East Africa to resist the epidemic, and he wants to send officials and students to China to study the medicine of our Celestial Empire to avoid the danger of losing the country. ”

Yixin was one of the three ministers of the Prime Minister's Yamen, and the Prime Minister's Yamen was the "Ministry of Foreign Affairs" established in the late Qing Dynasty, so Richard's transmission of the political will of the East African government to the Far Eastern government was generally accepted by Yixin first.

Tongzhi was instantly interested when he heard this, and he had never heard that Xiyi admired the Celestial Empire, the high-level of the Far Eastern Empire had long been beaten by Britain and France and lost their temper, and Britain and France have always been domineering, so naturally they will not give the East any good face, let alone Oriental culture.

Tongzhi: "This East Africa is the new country that came to North Korea to set up an embassy last year?" ”

Yixun: "Exactly. ”

Tongzhi: "This Western country has always been domineering, despises education, does not worship saints, and suddenly humbly asks for advice, is there some conspiracy?" ”

Yixun: "I hope Your Majesty knows that this East African kingdom is still a little different from the Western countries, its country is located in the west of the small Western Ocean (Indian Ocean), on behalf of the log Thorn Wa (Somalia) and slow Basa (Kenya), and established a country, which is caused by the fleet of Zheng He of the previous dynasty, not where the authentic Western countries are, and its lord is the Prince of Prussia in the West, who crossed the ocean and set up a country. ”

Tongzhi: "Oh! So, the kingdom of East Africa was founded by the prince of the Kingdom of Prussia in an overseas land? ”

Yixun: "Exactly, Prussia is a military power in the West, and there are envoys stationed in the Celestial Empire. ”

To be honest, Yixun is quite embarrassed in this regard, he is also the prince of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and his identity can be compared to Konstantin, this Prussian prince founded a country overseas, didn't he roast himself on the fire?

Tongzhi didn't know that Yi Xun thought carefully and said: "Prussia, I know, is a small country in the east of France, I heard that its people are good at fighting fiercely, and all the people are soldiers, so this Prussian prince is naturally also good at force, so it is not surprising." ”

Coincidentally, now that Prussia defeated France and the news of German reunification had not yet reached the Far East, the Tongzhi monarch was still in Prussia, a small precarious country around France, after all, everyone had heard of Napoleon's statement.

Tongzhiyou said: "This East African kingdom does not turn to Prussia for help, but to us, what does this mean? ”

Yixun: "As mentioned before, Prussia used the strength of a small country to raise the soldiers of a large country, the natural economy withered, and the people's livelihood was poor, so it had no choice but to support overseas places. ”

Tongzhi: "It's the same reason, but after all, this East Africa has a bit of Prussia's true biography, so it can't be so bad!" ”

What Yi Xun said just now is too terrifying, it is a beast, a drought, a flood, and a plague, and this East Africa will be finished sooner or later!

Yixun explained: "The territory of the East African Kingdom was originally a barren land, with few civilizations, and its monarch was originally a martial artist, who must not know how to govern the country, so he admired the prosperity of the Celestial Empire's culture, which was very different from the British and French and other Western Yi. ”

In other words, East Africa was originally a barren land, a wasteland in terms of culture and inheritance, and Konstantin, a martial artist, was not good at management, and East Africa was not orthodox in the West, so it is understandable to learn from us.

I have to say that there is still something about Yixun, even Europeans may not know so much about East Africa.

The summary is good, although there are some prejudices, but on the whole it objectively describes the situation before the establishment of the East African Kingdom, but even if you admire the Celestial Empire, Ernst is here to prostitute for nothing, so she specially asked Richarddra to save face.

Richard was originally a businessman, so he was self-taught in terms of talking to people and talking nonsense, and he really pretended that the African continent would be finished sooner or later, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty would help us.

Ten years ago, the British and French troops came to Beijing to fight, Xianfeng scared away Rehe, crushed the last vanity of the Manchu Dynasty, and only then did the Westernization Movement carry out smoothly.

At this time, whenever a country comes to pat itself on the back, it can make the rulers of the "Celestial Empire" who have lost their dignity regain some sense of superiority.

Although this East African kingdom is not an authentic Western Yi, it is also half a Western Yi, and if the East African Kingdom learns from itself, it is equivalent to Western countries learning from itself.

Tongzhi: "Since the East African Kingdom has a request for the Celestial Empire, we must not lose the grace of the Celestial Empire, and allow the East African Kingdom to send official students (international students) to study in the Tai Hospital, and at the same time recruit 100 doctors from the people to save the suffering land of East Africa and promote the grace of the Celestial Empire." ”

With the official endorsement of the Qing government, the Kingdom of East Africa was not polite, and while cooperating with the officials of the Far East, it also learned medical experience from the people of the Far East and recruited non-governmental medical talents.

Although the medical system in the Far East is not very developed at present, it is almost half a pound or eight taels in the world, especially in the Far East, which has a large population, and there are always unsatisfactory medical personnel, and the East African embassy, under the instruction of Ernst, first recruited medical personnel from the private sector, and then asked the Manchu government to screen these doctors, so as not to really engage in some crooked ways to deceive East Africa.

This aid to Africa is a proper face-saving project for the Qing government, so it does not dare to be sloppy, and it really gets charlatans to Africa, but it harms people's lives and is publicized by East Africa.
