The parade was generally effective, and Ernst underestimated the conservatism of the people of today's time, and in the eyes of the older generation, the East African Army dress was too unconventional.

In fact, the military uniforms of this era are not ugly, and even gorgeous, but this kind of gorgeousness can generally only be highlighted by officers, and the quality of military uniforms of ordinary soldiers is somewhat uneven. The East African Army is relatively unified as a whole, and there is not much breakthrough in appearance, and even because of the change of the high hat unique to European-style military uniforms, it looks a little not majestic enough.

In other words, the military uniforms in Europe still retain the characteristics of the Cold Weapon Age, while the East African Army has transitioned to the World War II period in the previous life, paying more attention to practicality. If compared individually, the artistry of East Africa is a little worse, but this military uniform in East Africa is very suitable for the appearance of the team image, focusing on a solemn sense of oppression.

After a moment of silence, fierce applause rang out on both sides of the streets of Vienna, the East African Army was not an Austrian army, so naturally it did not receive cheers, but the discipline of the East African Army won the praise of the majority of Viennese citizens.

"The kingdom of East Africa has the warlike genes of Prussia in its bones, and it is estimated that this is the tradition of the Hohenzollerns!" Some citizens commented.

It is not valid to say that East Africa is as belligerent as Prussia, because there are yellow faces in the East African army, and even the Germans are not, so the influence of the Heshingen royal family must be added, and since the Heixingen royal family is also surnamed Hohenzollern, then the East African army must also be influenced by Hohenzollern.

"Uh, how do you know that the kingdom of East Africa is belligerent? Just a military parade with a performance! ”

"This is very easy to deduce, it can be seen from some details, you look at the eyes of the East African army, I have seen that kind of look, only soldiers who have seen blood can naturally show it, you don't have to refute me, I also participated in the kingdom army back then, and I was fortunate to have experienced several wars, so I have a very sensitive sense of smell for soldiers."

As the elite of the kingdom, the soldiers of the East African Guards Division are selected from various units, so it is not surprising that they have experienced wars, and although the natives do not have an advantage in weapons, they can also give the East African army a long-term insight.

"Secondly, if you look at their rifles, it is obvious that they are not new, although they are well maintained, and even refurbished, and they have gone through many wars at a glance."

This is normal, the Dreiser rifle production line in East Africa has been dismantled and sent to the Far East, so only a small part of it is retained to maintain operation, so the soldiers under review are still holding old guns, and then returning to East Africa should be replaced with 1873 Mauser rifles, plus the high-intensity training of the Guards Division is not to participate in the war, and the guns will also suffer great losses.

It should be emphasized here that the Royal Army of East Africa has a complete and large-scale military industrial system that conforms to the trend of the times, first of all, because the weapons of the present era are not as outrageous as in the previous life, the technical difficulty is low, and the types of weapons are few, so East Africa also has the ability and technology to engage in military manufacturing.

The second is that although Ernst has always stated that East Africa is backward and the education level of its residents is low, in fact, the education level of East African residents can be ranked among the highest in the world, with a literacy rate of more than 20 percent, and a so-called semi-literate state of citizens accounting for more than 40 percent, that is to say, according to the standards of the times, the proportion of illiterate people in East Africa in the real sense does not exceed about 140, so East Africa does not lack basic worker reserves, which also creates conditions for East Africa to establish its own military industrial system.

The main reason for this situation is that they have received the dividends of compulsory education in Germany, and the proportion of residents of East Africa who really come from the German region (the entire territory of Austria-Hungary is counted as a German region) is about 45 percent, of which South Germans and Austrians account for the majority, and a small part are Hungarians and Slavs.

In 1870, the illiteracy rate in Germany (Germany) was only two percent, so illiteracy was largely non-existent among South Germans who immigrated to East Africa. The Austro-Hungarian Empire was much worse (still 22 percent during the First World War), but the level of compulsory education in Austria was still very high.

As for semi-literacy, it was a consequence of the compulsory introduction of the German language in East Africa, and the unification of the language required lessons for non-German immigrants, which inevitably taught vocabulary and grammar, so that many immigrants could read German texts without speaking at all.

Of course, the literacy rate does not mean that the level of literacy is high, and the most important thing in East Africa is to promote the language, such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc.

And learning this kind of thing, is not to retreat, even if a German resident, received a complete compulsory education, if he does not go to the factory to make screws or move bricks on the construction site, then the current agricultural application scenarios are not enough to support their digestion of knowledge, looking at the traditional experience is enough.

Therefore, many Germans step into the society, within a few months may forget that little bit of primary school culture, plus compulsory education is also uneven, the economic level of development in various regions of Germany is different, and there are no excellent teachers in some places, and the quality of teaching is worrying.

At the same time, East Africa also equated the various Slavic peoples who immigrated to East Africa in the Austro-Hungarian Empire with the Germans, which also caused the literacy rate in East Africa to be lower than the German population, but lower than the German population.

Finally, and most importantly, East Africa is truly vast and rich in natural resources, which provides the basic conditions for the development of East Africa's military industry.

At present, the most core area of East Africa (Shudi), that is, the former East African Federal Region, has an area of more than 1.2 million square kilometers alone, almost the area of Germany and Austria-Hungary combined.

In terms of resources, Germany and Austria have outrageous resources of iron ore and coal, which is also the basis for the two countries to become world powers, and steel and energy symbolize national strength.

East Africa's coal, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Botswana can only be compared with the two countries, and the coal reserves of other regions can only be compared with Austria-Hungary alone, but if it can be compared with Austria-Hungary, East Africa will win.

This also means that relying only on the resources of eastern East Africa, East Africa can reach the industrial level of Austria-Hungary, so East Africa is not stingy in the development of resources needed by the military industry.

In the future, more intense competition is needed, which can be done by relying on South Africa, one of the world's top five mining countries in the previous life.

If East Africa wants to control and develop the coal and iron resources in the south, it must wait until the completion of the Central Railway, and after the completion of the Central Railway, the strength of the East African Kingdom will reach a new level.

After the parade, there was nothing much to see, at least Ernst was not interested, but Karina was not yet happy.

"Brother Ernst, I heard that there is a light show at night, can you tell me how it went! Is it as powerful as advertised? ”

"Well, it should be more dazzling!" Ernst said somewhat perfunctorily.

Ernst really didn't know what to say about the light show, it was arranged by himself, but it was mainly for advertising, there was this light show as a demonstration, and there were no celebrations and activities in other cities at one time, so that the Heixingen Power Company could harvest large orders, which was the same as the last time it was a city that never sleeps.

As for how dazzling the light show is, Ernst definitely can't feel it, after all, it is far worse than in his previous life, so the crossing is also a lot less fun for Ernst.

In the evening, eight o'clock.

It was already completely dark.

With the Vienna Heixingen Power Company, the power supply was started, and the lanterns and light boxes in the streets and alleys were lit up together, and the whole Vienna instantly became bright and colorful.

"It's so beautiful, Vienna!"
