Beginning in 1876, the construction of a railway bridge over the Zambezi River of the East African Central Railway was completed, through which trains could go directly to Zimbabwe.

"This year, we plan to build more than 1,500 new agricultural cooperatives in Zimbabwe along the railway line to promote the development of inland areas." This was stated by the Minister of Agriculture at a government work meeting.

Agricultural cooperatives are not a unique industrial model in the East, such as France and Germany where small farms and family farms are more developed.

In the past, French law provided that "agricultural cooperatives and their cooperatives are a special type of enterprise that is different from civil enterprises and trading enterprises, and it has independent legal rights and full civil rights." "Agricultural cooperatives are variable capital enterprises.

The agricultural cooperatives in East Africa are different from those in France in that they are semi-political and economical, and the land is not yet privatized and is allocated by the kingdom.

The main functions of the East African Agricultural Cooperatives are to scientifically guide planting, provide improved seeds, purchase grain, store, manage and distribute livestock and slaves, maintain and manage agricultural tools, and organize the construction of agricultural projects.

The East African Agricultural Cooperatives are subordinate to the East African government, but the specific guidance is carried out by the East African Agricultural Corporation, which is the upstream of the East African agricultural industry chain.

The East African Agricultural Corporation only exists in East Africa, but it is connected to the industrial clusters of the Heixingen Consortium in Germany and Austria, providing raw materials and basic agricultural products for these Heixinggen enterprises, and at the same time maintaining contact with many business groups to lead the grain export work in East Africa.

The main business is procurement and sales, so the East African Agricultural Corporation is a super agricultural monopoly organization similar to the syndicate, and the difference between the syndicate enterprise is that it is too large, intended to strengthen the competitiveness of East African agricultural products in the global market, this kind of competition is not the competition of enterprises, it is simply the existence of competition in the country, it is a favorable weapon for East African grain and the United States and Russia to compete, those grain producers in the United States are indeed strong, but they also seem like a guerrilla in front of the East African Agricultural Corporation.

Of course, although the East African Agricultural Corporation is huge, it still relies on the food companies, supermarket channels, and large and small distributors of the Black Singen Consortium in Europe, so the name of the East African Agricultural Corporation is basically not heard in East Africa.

In this way, the East African Agricultural Corporation has a certain conflict with the Ministry of Agriculture, but for the current East Africa, it is still more suitable for the national conditions of East Africa.

The staff of the Agricultural Corporation is composed of more professional personnel, and the Ministry of Agriculture is not as effective as the Agricultural Corporation in promoting the development of agriculture in East Africa because of its low level of education.

"Regarding the construction of new villages, our proposal is to open up some more tobacco fields, just some time ago, the German government announced a tobacco monopoly, which is not a good thing for tobacco profits, and there are more taxes to be paid, so in order to better monopolize the German market, we must reduce the cost of tobacco products in East Africa and maintain our advantage in the German region."

Bismarck pushed for a new bill to save money for the German government, but this was a blow to the Heixingen consortium, which had a relatively high tobacco tax, and now after the German tobacco franchise, it has to pay an extra part of the funds to buy a sales license.

However, no matter how dissatisfied you are, you can only hold back, the market is controlled by the German government, and the power of the German government is different from that of Austria-Hungary, in Austria-Hungary, the Heixingen consortium can use public opinion to force the central government of Austria-Hungary to make compromises, and it is obviously more centralized in Germany, the Heixingen consortium cannot do this.

However, this is also acceptable for East Africa, mainly to sell East African tobacco to Germany, the local tobacco market in East Africa has a lot of consumption power, but obviously not as attractive as the German market, and the more important role of local tobacco consumption is to return the currency.

"In recent years, all countries have raised tariffs, especially steel and agricultural import tariffs, we are steel importers and are not worried, and the sharp increase in agricultural tariffs by various countries will hit us the hardest."

Ernst said: "Food consumption still depends on the local area, now the development of the inland areas need a large amount of grain to support the bottom, in the increase of the inland population at the same time, to increase the collection of inland slaves this year, to build a new area of roads, water conservancy and a series of projects, at the same time I plan to develop a number of mines along the Zimbabwe railway, mines can also consume a number of grain." ”

There are still large areas of undeveloped land in the inland areas, which need manpower to do, and development requires rations, so that the excess grain can be consumed.

As for using surplus food to improve the living standards of the people of East Africa, hehe, think too much! To put it mildly, this is really not conducive to the struggle of the people of East Africa, although East Africa is rolling, but there are no other countries rolling, and they are giving some benefits to the people, so it is really lying flat.

The most typical example is Argentina in the previous life, the people just want to take welfare with peace of mind, and politicians also use this as a means of campaigning, that is, no one concentrates on work or construction, but Argentina is underdeveloped, and the welfare policy can only be maintained by borrowing, without industrial support, and finally the debt is thundering, and the country is dead.

Of course, this is just an exaggeration and a one-sided statement, there are too many national problems of the kind in Argentina, and in short, the Argentine government has created a social atmosphere that is not conducive to struggle, and politicians and people play an extremely abstract game to keep the broken ship of Argentina on the way.

However, Argentina does have bad conditions, agricultural conditions are better than the United States, and the population is not large, if it really can't maintain the basic cost of living for the people, it's a big deal that the junta comes to power, and the game can continue, and it will always be in the cycle, this set of play is actually the routine of all backward countries, especially in South America and Africa.

As a new country, East Africa is actually developing well, and there is no need for the Heixingen royal family to be in the same stream with those imbecile "worms", taking advantage of the chaos of the current international system, and have every chance to become a chess player on the international chessboard.

Don't look at the number of great powers in this era, but it is precisely because there are many great powers and uneven account sharing that other countries have great opportunities, and Japan can seize the opportunity to become one of them, which is not a kind of multipolarization.

The conditions in East Africa may not be top-notch, but they are much stronger than those of Italy and Japan, and their potential is much greater than that of other countries other than the United States and Russia.

"We should make full use of the iron ore and coal resources in the interior to continue to increase the steel production capacity of East Africa, and by 1880 it will exceed the level of at least one million tons."
