In fact, East Africa will also face this problem, many people in East Africa have never seen a train, and there will definitely be some people who are afraid of the steel monster of the train for the first time, which requires the government to popularize science and pacify the people along the railway to solve it.

"Look?"

Outside the window, a group of railroad workers was working, and at this time, the railway changed, branching out and heading south, and the workers could be seen laying the tracks.

"Mr. Aryan! Didn't you say the railroad was finished, so what did they do? ”

Aryan was a little irritable, these people had too little knowledge, and they always questioned themselves, so they said impatiently, "It's done!" And it's been a few months since it was completed, and that's what the East African government said personally, and it's clearly a fork in the road, and I think you should know what it is. Is it true that when a road is built, it will not be connected to other places? The avenues of the Far East are also connected by small roads! ”

Apparently unaware of Aryan's displeasure, they continued, "And where does this fork in the road lead?" ”

This time the Aryans did not continue to deal with them, and it was the first time for them to come to the kingdom of East Africa, and they asked themselves everything, who knows where this railway leads to a fork! As mentioned before, although Aryan nationality is East African, he has only been in Europe and the Far East before, and he does not know anything about East Africa itself. In addition, I am not engaged in geography and railways, but just a small document of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of East Africa, it would be good to know about it, this group of doctors in the Far East really has nothing to do, does this have anything to do with you?

The turnout turns from the main road to the south.

In the place where the group could not see, a large construction site was being built, and this was the destination of the fork in the road - "Soga". Soga's location is just south of Bagamoyo, southwest of Dar es Salaam, southeast of First Town, and four points form a diamond.

After the renovation of Dar es Salaam was completed, the huge engineering team was not disbanded or sent elsewhere, but was transferred to Soga, 36 kilometers southwest of Dar es Salaam.

Yes, Soga is one of Ernst's latest planned cities, and the location of Soga cannot be said to be very good, but it is definitely not bad, it is some distance from the first railway, but the first railway will build a branch line to connect here.

Although the purpose of the city is unknown, it is of high standard, and Ernst specially invited the royal designer from Vienna to plan and design the city. Referencing Vienna, Soga focuses on building a "garden city", which is different from the first towns, Dar es Salaam and Bagamoyo.

No one knew what Ernst wanted to do, not even Konstantin knew what his son was doing to build the city, but there was nothing wrong with building a new city, so everyone didn't care too much.

on the construction site.

"Mr. Lawrence, according to the requirements of the drawings, a flower bed is built here, but this specification is not too wasteful in terms of area."

Lawrence: "You just have to do what I tell you to do, the flower bed is built for the sake of beauty, you see, this is a Y-shaped fork, and a three-story building will be built in front of the fork, and a huge flower bed in the middle of this fork can be used as a buffer, and the upper floors of the building on three sides can see the flower bed together, which gives people a sense of security and is pleasing to the eye." ”

While Lawrence was teaching his subordinates, workers on the site were digging the city's sewers, and the drainage facilities in Soga were designed to be more developed than in Dar es Salaam.

Soga City is designed to have a small population of about 50,000 people, but in terms of infrastructure it is the same as Dar es Salaam, which can accommodate about 150,000 people.

The buildings of Soga are also more elaborate in design, and many of the buildings even use the same elements as Schönbrunn Palace in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, with fountains and squares, flower beds, and woodlands everywhere, which are actually the same French gardens as Schönbrunn Palace.

After educating his assistant, Lawrence turned to his partner and asked, "Mr. Dress, what do you think we should use as a symbol of this artwork?" ”

Dresser is also the designer of the city of Soga, and the difference between him and Lawrence is that Lawrence is more good at classicism, while Lawrence is more modern and pays more attention to the convenience of life in terms of urban design.

Dress: "Landmarks are the finishing touches to every cultured city, so we should design a German logo that reflects the meaning of Soga. ”

"Connotation, but what is the connotation of Soga City!" Dress's words caused Lawrence to ponder.

Berlin has the Brandenburg Gate, Paris has the Arc de Triomphe, Vienna has St. Stefan's Cathedral, Britain has Big Ben, and the Statue of Liberty in New York can all make people remember.

First of all, Soga is an East African city, and secondly, East Africa is a German country, so Soga should have these two characteristics.

Dress: "How about we build a fountain square to reflect the artistic character of Soga?" ”

Lawrence: "It's a bit difficult to make a square famous, it has to be big enough to attract attention, and the size of Soga City obviously doesn't match the big square, so I think it's better to have a big sculpture to make it impressive." ”

Dress: "Sculpture is not good, I thought about this at first, the design requirements are too high, you have to invite a master-level figure, and this is not good for the two of us, although Soga City is located in Africa, it is also a rare work of art. ”

For Dress, mastering the design of a city is a great achievement, even if he is in Africa, after all, how many people can get the power to design the whole city!

Lawrence: "Since it is not easy to highlight the design characteristics of Soga City, and to increase our value, Soga City can be said to be the most perfect of many cities I have designed, and it is completely conceived on a blank slate. Even if it is a subordinate city that invites us. ”

Lawrence said with some emotion that if Soga City could be seen by more people in Europe, the city he designed would greatly enhance his commercial value and popularity.

It's a pity that Soga City was built in East Africa, a place where birds don't, and even after it is built, who will live here, Lawrence and Drake agree that Soga City is just a toy for Ernst. Now that the city of Soga is a third of the way complete, no one has moved in, except for the construction team and designers.
