Claire and his party are self-isolating without supervision, but East Africa is not afraid of people running around in Rottinade Village, as a relatively backward development area, the Nile Province is not only small in population, but also very backward in transportation, and it is possible to kill people if they run around.

There is only one road leading to the city in the village of Rottinader, this road is not built in East Africa, but the original black people walked out by themselves, and the road condition can be imagined, of course, it is not that East Africa does not have the intention of building roads, but that Rottinard Village is a new immigrant village, and East Africa has not had time to take care of it.

There is a necessary premise for building roads, that is, the roads are for people to walk, so it turns out that the village of Rottinad was originally uninhabited, so there is no need to build roads, and it is impossible to repair the roads for those animals to walk!

In fact, Rottinade village is not an exception, East Africa develops inland every year, and there are many new villages, and these villages lack everything, including roads and other infrastructure.

Of course, there are some exceptions, such as being assigned to existing roads or railways, such as Matabele province (Zimbabwe), where many immigrants live along the sides of the central railway.

"It's a bit nostalgic to see that when I first arrived in East Africa, but now the life of the new immigrants is much better than it was back then." Claire, who has temporarily lived in the village of Rottinader, sighed to her assistant.

The state of the village of Rottinard is very similar to the second place he stayed in when he first came to East Africa, he went ashore in Mombasa, and then he went to the village next to Kisumu, at that time the conditions in East Africa were very poor, even Mombasa could not be said to be very good, only a non-ranked African port.

Now Mombasa is developed, and the infrastructure construction is better than most of the world's ports, which is related to the development time of Mombasa, the later the development time of Mombasa, the newer the buildings, the more reasonable the planning, and the more advanced the infrastructure.

Not to mention Mombasa, even Kisumu is developing very well, if in terms of urban construction alone, it is on par with many small and medium-sized cities in Europe, all in all, the eastern part of East Africa is not what it used to be.

It is more difficult to find a model that is as backward as the original East Africa, and these new immigrant strongholds in the west are still possible, but these new immigrant strongholds are also much stronger in terms of conditions than when Claire first arrived in East Africa, because the productivity of East Africa has improved.

"Director, did you stay in such a room when you first arrived in East Africa?" The assistant asked.

Claire shook her head and said: "At that time, the conditions in the rural areas of East Africa were worse than those in Rottinad Village, but there was not much difference on the whole, how did you get from Mombasa to Kisumu?" How long did it take? ”

"By train, of course, it took about three days!"

"You see, you now have a railroad and a road to choose from, so I had to rely on foot, stopping and stopping on the road, and the same distance took a full month, and when you got to Kisumu, you switched to water transportation and then took a boat, right?" Claire then asked rhetorically.

"Of course."

"You see, the immigrants at that time did not have this benefit, they could only continue to walk inland along the shores of the Great Lake, fortunately I was assigned early, and it stopped near Kisumu, and the later immigrants suffered even more than me, only a few will be assigned to stay in the east, and most of the rest will still have to be filled inland."

Claire then sighed: "Especially when there was no railway, I can't imagine how much people in Hohenzollern and Swabian provinces (Zambia and southern Congo) were tortured on the road at that time, which was a thousand kilometers at every turn. ”

In fact, it is not as exaggerated as Claire said, although it took longer for immigrants to go inland, but at that time the area close to the coast had been developed and could provide material supplies, which made the immigration cause in East Africa much easier.

Although Claire only said a few words, the assistant had already imagined how hard life had been in East Africa.

Seeing that he was a little distracted, Claire smiled: "But the more you have experienced the rapid development of East Africa, the more you can feel the development potential of East Africa, the previous European description of Africa is actually quite reasonable, but you later newcomers have not experienced it, and when you set foot on the land of East Africa, he has been completely reborn." ”

The assistant nodded in agreement and said, "Yes director, when I first arrived in East Africa, it was 1876, and Mombasa was already quite prosperous at that time, and I felt that Mombasa was no different from those prosperous cities in Europe, and even more advanced and pleasing to the eye." ”

This is inevitable, and every city in East Africa is properly designed and planned, so that many European cities have avoided the shortcomings of many European cities, and this is most evident in urban buildings and roads.

Of course, the cities of East Africa also have their own shortcomings, that is, there are not many of them, in fact, this is also normal, many administrative cities in East Africa are not cities in the strict sense, and cities in the real sense must be administrative cities.

The comparison between East African cities and European cities must not be compared with administrative cities and European cities, administrative cities are a kind of name at the administrative district level, even if it is just a village, and the East African government sets him as the administrative city government station, then he can also be called a city.

Of course, East Africa is not really poor enough to really use the village as the city government station, the higher city government station of the village of Rottinad is a township, and the total population of the city plus the affiliated villages is only more than 4,000 people, which is also the current population of the Nile Province.

Claire said: "So the development of East Africa is changing with each passing day, you don't look at the current Rottwinade village is just a small village, in the future he may also become the surrounding administrative center, the lowest limit is also a township, because he is a relatively early development of the Nile Province, when I was in the east of the mix, I have seen many villages develop step by step into towns, take the first town as an example, it was just an inconspicuous colonial stronghold, but now it has directly become the capital." ”

"The city of Nairobi, which was originally a wasteland, has now become the textile center of East Africa, with a population of more than 100,000."

"There are many places that have counterattacked like this, and the village of Rottwinade also has such potential, because he started relatively early in the Nile Province, and the Nile Province is so empty, you must know that the area of the Nile Province is larger than that of many European countries, so the future of the Rovenade Village is limitless."

The settlers in East Africa did not like to be clustered, for example, in the early colonial era, many cities in East Africa had already begun to develop, but they were scattered throughout the Tanganyika region at that time.

At that time, there were land enclosure considerations, and Ernst's urban encirclement of rural areas, or the immigrant encirclement of indigenous people, was used to suppress indigenous forces and expand the territory of East Africa, which also dragged down the development of the two port cities of Dar es Salaam and Mombasa, as the limited resources were divided equally among the more and more inland cities.

But then the benefits were revealed, as many inland cities and villages developed, and the abundance of resources in turn helped the coastal cities to grow, making the coastal cities of East Africa eligible to participate in world trade and fueling the last agricultural economic crisis.
