As a mixed-race country, East Africa faces a very embarrassing problem in the future, that is, it has no historical and cultural heritage.

Historical and cultural heritage is actually very important, such as the East Asian cultural circle, the Arab cultural circle, the Turkic cultural circle, etc., which represent influence and political interests, which are connected by historical and cultural attributes.

So how should East Africa's cultural roots be positioned in the future? Can only historically and culturally turn to Germany or the Far East? This was certainly not what Ernst wanted.

East Africa has its own interests, and will have its own values and core interests in the future, and Ernst does have special feelings for Germany and the Far East, but East Africa is in fact independent of these two civilizations.

If East Africa wants to expand its historical and cultural influence, it cannot be dominated by the two cultures of Germany and the Far East, so it will now take the initiative to expand the cultural areas with the same attributes as East Africa.

Bosnia and the Republic of Lanfang are two good experimental areas in Ensst's view, and if these two regions are to be transformed into similar demographic and cultural attributes to East Africa, they will naturally be emotionally biased towards East Africa in the future.

For example, the current Lanfang Republic, which is a purely Chinese country, will inevitably be culturally and emotionally biased towards the Far East, rather than the German-Chinese East Africa, but if East Africa changes the demographic attributes of the Lanfang Republic to be the same as itself, then the Lanfang Republic will inevitably fall to East Africa in the future.

East Africa has always regarded the direction of the Indian Ocean as its core maritime interest in the future, of which the South Sea is the focus, and what can threaten this core interest, according to the past history, the Far East is likely to be a competitor or challenger in East Africa in the future, which the United States and Britain have deeply experienced.

In the same way, the German region, including Germany and Austria, of course, East Africa also attaches great importance to it, especially at the moment, it is important for East Africa to have two big brothers in front of them, and the importance of East Africa to these two countries is very not very obvious.

In the eyes of the two countries, the status of East Africa is the same as the British look at Canada and Australia, and they really deserve to be compared with the natives!

Therefore, Ernst mixed water with Bosnia, there is a very important purpose, that is, to make the Austro-Hungarian sphere of influence (Bosnia is not yet part of the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire) bury a mine, this mine is a mixed race, if the Austro-Hungarian Empire has no idea about Bosnia in the future, this thunder will never work, on the contrary, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will have a handle in East Africa.

Even if Austria-Hungary really does not eat the sugar-coated shell of Bosnia, East Africa can be regarded as a nail planted in the Balkans, and the importance of the Balkan Peninsula is self-evident, and it is beneficial to East Africa no matter how you say it.

Bosnia and the Republic of Lanfang are only the first steps in East Africa, and there are many more areas to be transformed in the future, provided that Britain and France pass first, of course.

……

Maputo.

The Portuguese watched with interest the results of the French's training, and saw a hundred black men squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, their upper clothes stripped off.

Syllable...... Syllable...... Syllable......

In the Maputo teaching field, the French instructor Wilson took the whip and beat the disobedient African soldiers, mercilessly spurring, causing blood marks on the bare backs of these black men.

"Damn it, do we really have to be babysitters to learn to follow orders? You can't learn the simplest form of formation. ”

Wilson is about to go crazy, the results of two months of training, let himself completely collapse, at the beginning Wilson can be said to be full of confidence, as an excellent French instructor, he has brought a lot of thorns and fools in France, no matter how difficult the French soldiers, in his hands less than a month, they are excellent soldiers.

Then he was sent to Mozambique, where, according to Wilson's idea, blacks were also people, and no matter how bad they were, they could never be worse than the mules in the army.

Three days later, Wilson realized that he had thought wrong, and a week later Wilson found that he might have taken on a terrible task, and a month later Wilson lay flat and no longer pursued the goal of the Negroes in the direction of the French army, and now Wilson was completely devastated.

The French instructors were quite angry about training blacks, because the education level of blacks was too low, not to mention complicated training, even simple training could not be done.

However, the French instructors are still too careless, which is a real problem faced by the military in many backward areas, and of course we have to admit that the African natives are a little too backward.

Black soldiers in tribal civilizations, because of the degree of development of civilization, and even the language has not matured, many basic concepts that are normal in the eyes of later generations do not exist.

Of course, Ernst wants to be fair, this is not to blame the blacks, but the French instructors have made a mistake, in fact, the blacks will also work together, especially the cooperation of a few people, the specific manifestation is hunting, a few blacks can rely on primitive bows and arrows and spears to leave an indelible shadow on the animals of the steppe.

As for the slightly more people, the blacks are really not good, because in this era, many black tribes with more than a dozen people are the norm, and the reason for the low level of productivity is that there are so many people in a region, and the blacks will divide themselves according to the number of prey like the lions, and the vast majority of blacks do not know how to plant, nor have they developed nomadic attributes.

Therefore, the power of the black people to develop the primitive state form is regarded as a top civilization in Africa, representing the advanced productive forces, but these primitive forms of countries are actually not large, at most they are super large tribes, and the core area of many countries may be a city or village, as for the large area on the map, it is all a false standard, and many independent small tribes are counted, in Ernst's perspective, these black civilizations stayed thousands of years ago, to the extent of the Yanhuang tribe in the Far East.

The Yanhuang tribe is a tribal alliance, Yanhuang is equivalent to the overlord of the tribe, but the tribes below can still be regarded as independent units, those countries in Africa actually play the role of tribal overlords, in fact, the tribal overlords have promoted them, many of them do not have that appeal, at most their ability to resist risks is stronger than ordinary tribes.

In the past, when the East African Army was a colonial army, the mercenaries and the commanders of the Heshingen Military Academy were also quite troubled by the new army formed by immigrants.

It is normal for many people to be unable to distinguish between left and right, and do not have a clear perception of the direction, but it is also strange to say that many people are not sensitive to the left and right directions, but they can clearly distinguish the southeast and northwest.

Compared with the expectations of the French for the black troops, East Africa does not have such high requirements for the black army, after all, many of the indigenous people in East Africa are not taught by the instructors of the Far East in the previous life, and Ernst does not believe that the East African Army has the ability to train the black army into a normal army.

However, the blacks are not all the rookie dogs faced by the French and East Africa, in fact, the blacks in Abyssinia and North Africa are very combative, so that the Arab Empire and Europe have incorporated the blacks of North Africa into the army, and Abyssinia is the former Red Sea overlord and the Arabs have fought a thousand-year-long war, and Nubia in the Sudan region has also counterattacked Egypt before, so the atmosphere of competition is conducive to the development of civilization.

In order to allow these blacks to quickly form combat effectiveness, the education model in East Africa is very simple, they will fill ammunition and pull the trigger, and accept the command to move forward and backward, as for running ugly, unsightly, and aiming is not a problem.
