Chapter XXXI: Democratic Elections
The Hexingen consortium has increased its investment in North America and the Far East, and its investment in East Africa has decreased accordingly, and the actual reason is that East Africa is digesting the previous gains, and the investment in East Africa is mainly concentrated in the Lake Malawi Industrial Zone and the Northern Industrial Zone.
Among them, the Lake Malawi Industrial Zone is independently invested by the Heshingen Foundation, and it will take some time for the heavy industry in the Lake Malawi Industrial Zone to be put into operation.
It takes a lot of time just to build a plant, not to mention the construction of larger infrastructure, and the shores of Lake Malawi, especially in East Africa, are relatively mountainous areas, so the difficulty of road construction is relatively high, and it is necessary to bypass the rugged terrain, which greatly increases the construction cost.
And when all this is done, the Lake Malawi industrial area still needs to be filled with new immigrants, and the industry needs workers, but at this stage, the overall number of immigrants in East Africa is showing a downward trend.
In particular, the number of German immigrants has plummeted, and if there are not enough German immigrants, it is necessary to be cautious about the introduction of immigrants from other nationalities.
In this regard, East Africa is stepping up efforts to exploit Hungary's potential, after all, the Magyars of the Kingdom of Hungary make up only five percent of the Hungarian population.
This stems from the unique idea of the Magyar aristocracy, which was easily grouped into a group by the abundance of Hungarian nobility, numbering more than 600,000 (plus the new Lombard nobility), who expelled the untouchables from the Hungarian countryside and declared: "Only the landowners are the real Magyars!" ”
Nationalism flourished in the 19th century, but Hungarian nationalism was not pure, Hungary can be said to be a region that defends the interests of conservatives under the guise of nationalism, and can be said to protect its own interests under the guise of nationalism.
In that case, can Austria assimilate these country pariahs? The answer is no, although Austria-Hungary actively promoted compulsory education and wanted to strengthen national identity.
It has a little effect, but it is not very important, because Magyars are taught in schools in Hungary, which means that compulsory education will not change the status quo of Austria-Hungary, but will accelerate the Hungarian national identity. Therefore, East Africa is now sending those Hungarian civilians to East Africa before the popularization of compulsory education in Austria-Hungary.
Although Hungarian immigrants are more cognitively more Hungarian, at least geographically, everything will no longer be a problem in East Africa, and changing ethnicity is a simple and crude matter.
However, most Hungarian immigrants, who only speak Magyars, are a real problem, so they cannot be grouped together.
These Hungarian immigrants would not be able to populate the sparsely populated areas of Zambia and Zimbabwe, but they would still be feasible to supplement the population of eastern East Africa.
After such a long period of development in eastern East Africa, the popularization of German has been quite perfect, and the German environment forces other ethnic groups to learn German, which is inevitable.
Generally speaking, it only takes two or three months for everyone to learn German through the German environment, even if it is an elm head, it can be sharpened in half a year to a year.
Hungarian immigrants were used to fill the east, and East Africa could free up German immigrants to consolidate construction efforts in areas such as Zimbabwe.
The East African Kingdom, which was annoyed and enraged by the Ndebele people, instructed the Shona to capture all the Ndebele people who had enslaved them in the past, and then sent them to the Central Province to dig canals.
Although the Ndebele people were punished, the development of the East African Kingdom was also put on the agenda, and co-governance with the indigenous people became a thing of the past.
But what about the much larger Shona in the area? The East African kingdom decided to engage in some crooked ways, and on the premise that it would no longer cause fierce resistance, it would consume the local natives little by little.
The first is to forcibly divide the Shona tribe into more than 150 large tribes according to their regions, and almost one large tribe is more than 10,000 people, which is its largest unit, so that it will not form a new core.
Then East Africa sent more than a hundred soldiers to each of the large tribes, that is, a company responsible for the stability of the large tribes in the jurisdiction. In this way, in the area where each of the major indigenous tribes exists, there is a formed combat force in East Africa, which can be attacked and defended, and will not be suddenly annihilated by the indigenous people as before, and even if it falls into the upper hand, it can wait for reinforcements to support.
Second, direct rule over the Shona people, as in the Ndebele people, who themselves are local rulers rather than sharing power.
As for how to ensure that these natives can be ruled in peace and control, and at the same time reduce the number of natives in an orderly manner, East Africa has also come up with a poisonous plan, that is, an electoral system.
In the name of the gods, East Africa demanded that each large tribe of the Shona tribe must pay a hundred slaves, and whoever became a slave had to be properly spoken. If the Kingdom of East Africa directly assigns slave candidates, it will inevitably cause the Shauna to share the same hatred, and the conflict will eventually point to East Africa.
Therefore, East Africa does not forcibly designate who is a slave, but allows the Shona people to choose their own slaves, and these natives who have been temporarily brought together by force in East Africa by force are already full of contradictions, so it must be very positive to vote for those who have contradictions with them as slaves.
"Procedural democracy!" , "Mob Politics! ”
The "lucky ones" who are "elected" will contribute to the development of East Africa, and as for the remaining indigenous people, don't worry, focus on a "everyone is like a dragon", everyone has a chance.
This trick is very vicious, forcibly transferring the contradictions to the different ethnic groups of the Shona tribe, so that they will fall into internal strife.
At the same time, there are not many slaves extracted from East Africa every time, that is, about one percent, which will make the vast majority of indigenous people have a fluke mentality, just like pedestrians crossing the road.
Eventually, East Africa transferred 15,000 slaves from Zimbabwe every three months, and Zimbabwe's Shona population is now only nearly 2 million (about 16 million in modern Zimbabwe), and it will not be long before Zimbabwe turns black into white, and these 15,000 slaves are used to support construction projects throughout East Africa.
Such a good "scheme" cannot be left to Zimbabwe to enjoy on its own, but must be carried out in all indigenous settlements in East Africa.
While the export of black Zimbabweans continued, new immigrants from East Africa continued to enter Zimbabwe to consolidate East African domination.
Zimbabwe's Shona ethnic group is only 2 million, it seems that the population is relatively small, in fact, it belongs to the middle and upper reaches of Africa, Zimbabwe has a total of more than 300,000 square kilometers, close to more than 400,000 square kilometers, and the precipitation is low, such a "small" area, there are more than 2 million indigenous people (including Ndebele people), the population density is much stronger than the original East African grassland.
