In addition to northern Mozambique, East Africa also has a third of the land south of Angola, for which Ernst has no intention of developing it now.

Angola is on the Atlantic coast, that is to say, it is not as easy to intervene as in the Indian Ocean, East Africa can exert its naval strength in the Indian Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean is less meaningful, and it is impossible to disperse the naval forces, what if it is hacked by the British.

Ernst's worries are definitely not unreasonable, although Ernst hates Britain, but I have to say that Britain is a very pragmatic country, of course, it can also be said that unscrupulous means, in order to achieve the goal, there is no face, otherwise it is impossible to become a world hegemon, after all, Britain is a big place, there is no ruthless work, and it will not be able to hold Germany, France, Austria, Russia and the United States and other countries in the palm of their hands.

Ernst, of course, was not qualified to speak of the British fart before, but now the size of East Africa is indeed qualified to say such things.

Cape Town is still in the hands of the British, the British are very strong in the Atlantic, St. Helena, where Napoleon was once held, is not far from Angola, and the British naval navy can also go south without obstacles, so if the East African Navy disperses its forces to the Atlantic Ocean and hacks the East African Atlantic Navy, Britain has this strength.

Moreover, Britain has the motivation to do so, and East Africa is at least in alliance with Britain, so East Africa has actually become one of Britain's enemies.

Therefore, it is not safe to disperse the limited naval forces to the Atlantic Ocean, Ernst, the Indian Ocean is different, and the overall strength of the East African Navy is not too bad, but it can only be fully utilized in one sea area.

The configuration of the East African Navy is similar to that of Austria-Hungary and Germany, and the area of activity of the navies of the two countries is very narrow, and it can even be described as pitiful, so the naval strength seems to be surplus, and East Africa is different, the Indian Ocean is too large, and it is very difficult to protect the eastern coast, if you add the Atlantic, the East African Navy is not enough at all.

Of course, there is another reason why Ernst does not develop Angola, that is, the land ceded by Portugal to East Africa is actually not in very good condition, after all, in the south of Angola, the natural conditions are relatively close to Namibia, and it is not a good place for development.

……

Kalimantan, Republic of Lanfang.

Pontianak Port is the largest port of the Republic of Lan Fang, and East Africa already has military forces in Pontianak, but today two merchant ships from East Africa came ashore here with a battalion of troops, officially declaring the Republic of Lan Fang to become a colony of East Africa.

After the truce with Portugal, East Africa now has time to free up its hands to digest the Republic of Lanfang, of course, the main reason is that after communicating with the Netherlands, the Dutch have given up the Republic of Lanfang in exchange for East Africa's recognition of the surrounding Dutch colonies, that is to say, the Netherlands and East Africa have divided their respective spheres of influence on Kalimantan Island, and Ernst is also very knowledgeable and respectful of the current existence interests of the Netherlands in the Republic of Lanfang.

In Pontianak Port, the first Governor of the Overseas Province of Lanfang of the Kingdom of Heixingen was officially inaugurated, Lanfang Overseas Province is not the first colony of the Royal Family of Heixingen, Alaska is, but Alaska belongs to the royal territory, not under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Heixingen (East Africa), after all, the three caves of the cunning rabbit, the Royal Family of Heixingen also needs a way back.

Looking at the flag of the former Lanfang Republic and the East African flag rising next to the "Hakka" flag, Wilt was very happy, and from today onwards, he will also be the head of a province.

Because of the special geographical location of Lanfang Overseas Province, there is no position of high-ranking official, but the appointment of a governor-general, the governor's power is a little greater than that of high-ranking officials, like the governor of Lanfang, who has half of the military command.

In the final analysis, Ernst still likes centralized power, and is not at ease to give the Republic of Lanfang too much autonomy, so the Republic of Lanfang has directly become an overseas province in East Africa, instead of an ordinary colony, and has become a province, which is the same as other provinces in East Africa, which is his own family.

Of course, the main reason is that the area of Lanfang Overseas Province is not large, the population is not large, so there is not much resistance to joining East Africa, the former province of Lanfang Overseas Province Lanfang Republic in its heyday was only in the northwest of Kalimantan Island, after several weakening by the Netherlands, the Republic of Lanfang can only be regarded as an insignificant small country on Kalimantan Island.

If the Republic of Lanfang really dominates the entire island of Kalimantan, then Ernst will definitely not give Lanfang the qualification of an overseas province.

Speaking of the Republic of Lanfang, there is another interesting feature, that is, it has its own colony - Dai Yan.

Dai Yan is a country founded by the indigenous people of Kalimantan, in the eastern interior of the Republic of Lanfang, according to the former Republic of Lanfang, it is a vassal state, but it is a colony by East African standards, and Dai Yan has also been incorporated into the newly established Lanfang Overseas Province.

As for whether these natives are willing or not, it is up to them, East Africa is not as easy to talk as the Republic of Lanfang.

In the past, Dai Yan could still travel between the Lanfang Republic and the Dutch, but now that East Africa has made a deal with the Dutch, there is no need for Dai Yan to exist.

The countries on Kalimantan can be divided into three categories according to faith, first of all, Hakka, that is, the original Han faith, mainly the Chinese community on Kalimantan Island, Ernst knows that this is certainly not a religion or belief, but only the East is more special in the world, followed by Christians, mainly Dutch, and finally Arabs, most of the countries on Kalimantan Island are Arabs.

This Dai Yan also belongs to the Arab religion, which is not a psychological burden for East Africa, where Catholicism is the mainstream religion of the people, and the pagan country is eliminated.

Even very much in line with the European mode of thinking, the Dutch are committed to missionary work in Kalimantan, after all, the mainstream religion in the Netherlands is similar to that in East Africa, especially in the Dutch colony, Catholicism is the first, Protestantism is second, and the same is true in East Africa, and then other religions, because of Zanzibar, there are also a group of Arabs in East Africa.

However, the Arabs in East Africa are more special, and East Africa allows them to exist in order to covet the commercial trade of Arab countries, and these Arabs are actually very flexible in their nationality.

Because Zanzibar was formerly part of the Omani Empire, Arabs on Zanzibar can also be citizens of the Omani Empire or other Arab countries.

In fact, after East Africa made Zanzibar a province, many Arabs from the former Sultanate of Zanzibar returned to Oman, after all, they had no status in the Arab religion in East Africa, but because of their trade, most of them remained in Zanzibar as guests.

However, there is a tacit understanding between East Africa and the Arab community, that is, there is no idea of expelling them in East Africa at present, as for when to expel it, it also depends on the idea of East Africa, the initiative is in East Africa, because Zanzibar's tax, financial, military and other rights have been recycled by East Africa, and East Africa only needs to use its hands and feet in policy to drive out the Arabs, then this group of people can only return to the Arab world, after all, they also have a small fortune, and they are second-class people in East Africa, it is better to go back to Oman to be a master, as for not leaving, There are also East African troops to negotiate with them, so there is no such possibility.

As a vassal state of the Republic of Lanfang, Dai Yan could not negotiate terms with East Africa, and Dai Yan's inhabitants were mainly Malays, as long as they were not black, Ernst was still acceptable.
