"The Portuguese War was fought so tirelessly, which fully shows that Portugal is not an opponent at all in front of East Africa, which is just like Mexico is to the United States, we can see that the African region is rapidly emerging a regional hegemonic country similar to the United States in North America, if no one curbs the development of East Africa, then Africa will become the Africa of Africans." - The Times

Regarding the remarks of Africans about Africa, the Sun reporter conducted an exclusive interview with Weir, the East African ambassador to Germany.

"Ambassador Will, the recent Times assessment that Africa will become the Africa of Africans is not an allusion to East Africa."

Will: "We are against this statement, East Africa has never said that Africa is the Africa of Africans, in fact, we can see that East Africa's influence in Africa is limited to itself, North Africa is the traditional sphere of influence of the Arabs, the most influential country in West Africa is France, South Africa and Britain are also good, in addition to Spain, Italy, Belgium and other countries are involved in Africa, which shows that Africa is currently diverse, not the Africa of Africans in some populations, I want to ask who are Africans? Who represents Africans? Germany can't, France can't, Arabs can't, so Africans are just an empty anxiety. ”

Will's interview received a lot of attention in Europe, where East Africa had previously been a fairly low-key presence, but for the first time, the Portuguese War brought the entire European community to an interest in the African country of East Africa.

Portugal, an old colonial power, has lost face this time, and the criticism of East Africa and the current government in Portugal has been quite sharp.

Like the Times, the Portuguese mainstream media portrayed East Africa as Africa's greatest threat.

After all, Portugal has lost face this time, Brazil is independent Portugal is very heartbroken, in the past and Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom failed to compete, Portugal can understand, but being defeated by African countries and ceding land and suing for peace, it is simply a great shame.

As a result, the current Portuguese government collapsed, and the new prime minister stressed the need to regain lost territory by all means, and at the same time announced sanctions against East Africa.

The more quickly Portugal jumps, the less East Africa will take Portugal to heart and sanction East Africa? It's ridiculous, and East Africa treats Portugal as a clown, but other countries are beginning to dig deep into the reasons behind Portugal's humiliation this time.

This is followed by an assessment of East Africa's national strength, because East Africa practices closed-mindedness, so the East African Navy is the most intuitive embodiment of East Africa's national strength.

Then everyone was surprised to find that the East African Navy had unknowingly come to the seventh position in the world, only after Austria-Hungary, above Germany, the army could only rely on the guesses of various countries, but according to the Portuguese War, it can be estimated that there are at least 200,000 troops in East Africa.

So from the point of view of military strength, East Africa is also a world power, and it is not clear how strong it is, but it is definitely above Portugal.

This was followed by the East African threat theory, which has been around for a long time, after the East African occupation of South Africa, but most of it has been suppressed by the media controlled by the Black Ringen consortium.

As for Africans in Africa, East Africa will not say such a statement no matter how stupid it is, because who does not know that Africans generally mean blacks, and East Africa will not rush to expel themselves from Germany.

However, from the sour evaluation of the Times and the Portuguese media, we can also see the true mentality of Britain and Portugal, the East Portuguese War can be said to be the British forcibly held down Portugal, and then ended, Britain knows one thing, that is, East Africa has not yet made full efforts, but Portugal's two colonies have squeezed out all their potential.

As a direct consequence of the Portuguese War, some countries began to seek to develop friendly relations with East Africa, among which Italy and Belgium were the most active, and both colonies were next to East Africa, so it was necessary to establish good relations with East Africa in order to be in the interests of the two countries.

As a result, Italy and Belgium both sent diplomats to Dar es Salaam to negotiate the establishment of diplomatic relations with East Africa, which was also the first time that a European country took the initiative to establish diplomatic relations with East Africa, and the Dutch also sent diplomats to discuss the matter with East Africa at a later date.

In fact, East Africa and these three countries have diplomatic relations, but they are similar to the German Chamber of Commerce established in the Far East Empire during the previous East African colonies, but after the East Portuguese War, it was a step closer.

The Netherlands already has good relations with East Africa, and there has been a lot of cooperation, and the Netherlands may have also noticed East Africa's actions on Kalimantan, so it needs a timely and formal negotiation platform to prevent conflicts between the two countries.

The size of the Republic of Lanfang is not large, and it does not matter if it is ceded to East Africa, but there are also Dutch colonies next to it, and if the two countries clash, it seems that East Africa is really capable of severing the connection between the Netherlands and the East Indies.

For these friendly countries, East Africa is of course not refused, but the planned embassy area in East Africa makes people have to complain.

The planned embassy area in East Africa is in Dar es Salaam, not the first town of the capital, but East Africa is also more sincere, and the statement of various countries is that Dar es Salaam is the most prosperous city in East Africa, and the first town is too backward to provide corresponding services. Dar

It is true that the level of commerce and services in the first town is not as prosperous as that of Dar es Salaam, but not as bad as described in East Africa.

However, from a practical point of view, Ernst considered that the relationship between East Africa and these countries was not good enough for them to move to the capital of East Africa, and as a highly centralized country, the officials of the first town and city knew relatively high information and were at risk of being bought, so it was better to place the diplomats of these countries in Dar es Salaam.

Anyway, the city of Dar es Salaam is not far from the first town, and the train is less than an hour away, and there is a telegraph connection.

In addition to these countries that have real interests in East Africa, there are also some countries that simply have good relations with the Heshingen royal family or East Africa, so they set up embassies in East Africa.

Ernst set up embassies in the first town, including Germany and Austria, newly independent Romania, Sweden, the Far Eastern Empire, Paraguay, etc.

Of course, the embassy of the Far Eastern Empire is more special, and it is impossible to say what the relationship with East Africa is, but for the Far Eastern Empire, East Africa is definitely a country with relatively good relations among the countries, at least it is easier to speak.

In fact, there is a third type of embassy area in East Africa, that is, the embassy area of Zanzibar, and the countries where the embassy area of Zanzibar is settled include Ottoman, the United States, Japan and other countries.

Therefore, the diplomatic construction of East Africa is seriously mixed with Ernst's private feelings, which also reflects the unparalleled control and influence of the Heixingen royal family over East Africa as an absolute monarchy.

The three embassies in East Africa also reflect the differences in East African diplomacy, with the first town being a friend of East Africa, Dar es Salaam being a friendly country, and Zanzibar being a hodgepodge.

This kind of embassy division also has a confidential arrangement, such as the mixed economic system in East Africa, Ernst does not want to reveal it, there is the Paris Commune in front, East Africa does not want to have anything to do with it, although the two are not the same thing at all, but many policy things, the repetition rate is too high, so it is not good for people who are interested to use the interpretation, and whether it is absolute monarchy or class autocracy, or slavery, the current countries do not seem to be very popular, East Africa is indeed too reactionary.
