Mogville didn't have the time to listen to these compliments, he still had a lot of things to do, after all, the city of Grushegen was a new district, and there were too many problems to solve.

After two months of preparation, the East African Navy finally prepared supplies and prepared to go to sea to the Southern Ryukyu Islands.

"Father-in-law, why do you want to go to sea by yourself this time? Now you have a lot of people under you, there is no need to do everything yourself, the sea is dangerous, what if you have three long and two short? There's no way I can explain it to Karina! ”

"Just, father, listen to Ernst and stay? You are the commander-in-chief of the navy, so you should stay on the mainland, and the Southern Ryukyu Islands are not an important place, so there is no need for you to make a trip yourself, and my mother and I hope you are safe. Karina said coquettishly.

"Uh...... Didn't I see that Ernst attached great importance to the Southern Ryukyu Islands, so I decided to help him run it myself. ”

As soon as Archduke Ferdinand's voice fell, Karina glanced at her husband "viciously", it was all a good thing you did!

Ernst hurriedly shirked his responsibility and said, "Father-in-law, you can't wronged me, who said that I attach great importance to the Southern Ryukyu Islands?" This archipelago is just the icing on the cake for me, and I don't have to do it, but I don't feel sorry if it's gone tomorrow. ”

Ferdinand glanced at Ernst suspiciously and said, "You don't pay attention to it, why are you preparing so many supplies, and there are a few heavy cannons, just to use them on a few worthless islands?" Mayotte (one of the islands of the Comoros archipelago, a territory of East Africa) didn't have this treatment in the first place, right? ”

Ernst: "Hey, because of that, you're judging that I value the Southern Ryukyu Islands?" ”

"Isn't it? The weapons and supplies you prepared are obviously intended to hold on to the Southern Ryukyu Islands for a long time, and the level of equipment is quite high, even the Lanfang Overseas Province does not have this treatment. Ferdinand asked rhetorically.

"Father-in-law, in fact, this is a misunderstanding, the reason why I prepared so many things for the South Ryukyu Islands has nothing to do with whether the South Ryukyu Islands are important or not, and turning the South Ryukyu Islands into a Pacific Advance Base in East Africa is completely incidental."

Ferdinand looked incredulous, who are you fooling? Even if Ernst really doesn't pay attention to it, the Far Eastern Empire and Japan, which have ideas about the South Ryukyu Islands, will definitely think that Ernst attaches importance to it, and this is a warship and a garrison, if you don't pay attention to it, who will fool you!

"Alas, father-in-law, don't have this expression, I'm really not fooling you, the South Ryukyu Islands are just a dispensable point in my strategic territory, he is so far away from East Africa, and there is no economic value, and the strategic value for us is not great, after all, that position is thankless except for making trouble for ourselves."

"You also know that it's thankless, so doesn't that mean you have ideas about the South Ryukyu Islands, such as East Africa, and colonizing East Africa was a thankless thing in the first place, don't you do the same? Now that East Africa is growing so fast, you're making a lot of money. ”

"How can the South Ryukyu Islands compare with East Africa? The two are not a level at all, there are too many levels in the middle, the area of East Africa alone, there are more than 10 million square kilometers, even if it is all rotten land, it is worth a lot of money, just dig a little mine, basically can return to the capital, the South Ryukyu Islands belong to what you want, land, population, resources, economy, military value...... There's nothing to look up to. ”

Archduke Ferdinand: "Since you say so, why do you still have troops stationed in the Southern Ryukyu Islands?" It's even faster than the overseas province of Lanfang. ”

"Father-in-law, I am stationed in the South Ryukyu Islands, which is used to guard against villains, although the South Ryukyu Islands have no value, but since I have taken it, it is naturally impossible to let it out casually, this is the same as having a piece of cake in my hand, but I don't lack this piece of cake every day, and now there are beggars who want to eat this cake, I can not want this cake, but he can't steal or rob, otherwise I will give him a bite of tooth to break."

Archduke Ferdinand stared at his son-in-law suspiciously: "The villain and beggar you are talking about can't be Japan, right?" ”

"Hehehe, father-in-law, you still know me."

"Why do you have such an attitude towards Japan?" Archduke Ferdinand asked, and in fact Karina wanted to know too.

The two actually have a good impression of Japan, which is actually a misunderstanding, that is, love the house and the U, everyone in East Africa knows that the crown prince is very friendly to the Far East, of course, including the Germans in East Africa.

The Far East is a geographical term in Europe, and the concept is very large, and the Far East naturally includes the Far East Empire, Korea, Vietnam, and Japan, and as for Mongolia, which is one of the five East Asian countries, it is still the territory of the Far East Empire, and I don't know what will happen in the future with Ernst Disturbance.

"The character of the country of Japan is very extreme, don't look at what they are hiding very well now, in fact, they are holding back a bad stomach, which the Far Eastern Empire should feel the deepest, in a word, that is, the white-eyed wolf country, and the Jews have a fight, but the Japanese have different methods and the Jews, but the same way."

Ernst is like his wife and father-in-law popularizing science, this passage is very vicious, the Jewish style in this era is not to say that people hate dogs, but also notorious, not at all like Europe and the United States in the previous life in front of the Jewish forces like licking dogs, but it can also be understood that Jews have the support of the United States, and they also control world public opinion, and it is self-evident how powerful public opinion is in "democratic" countries, and it is related to power.

In capitalist countries, Jews engage in industries to maximize their influence and power, because they represent the most powerful capital groups in Europe and the United States, and they are transnational organizations, and this is not the case in the Arab world and the Far Eastern Empire.

The Europeans had pitted themselves into their own hands, just as the Far Eastern Empire was heavy on agriculture and suppressed commerce, and so were the Europeans, so the Jews could only engage in industries that the European aristocracy had previously looked down upon, that is, commerce.

In the capitalist era, when commerce developed, the power of the Jews naturally expanded, and the more liberal and democratic the country, the more it could not get rid of the control of the Jews.

Ernst, the reborn, was actually one of the hindrances of the Jewish consortium, because Ernst himself was also engaged in business, and the rise of the Heshingen consortium directly stabbed the Rothschilds in Germany.

The Rothschilds had no way to take the Hexingen consortium, because Ernst itself was part of the German aristocracy, and the German aristocracy was also happy to see it happen if they had their own people like Ernst to contain the Jews in the financial field, and the German aristocracy focused on mastering the gun, so they relied more on the support of the Jewish consortium, but they looked down on the Jews.

Although Ernst could not completely ban the Jewish consortium, the aristocracy, as the ruling class, was naturally happy to see it come to pass.

Of course, this is only the German region, and the stronghold of the Jews is now Anglo-American, and as for the attitude of the Germans towards the Jews, Adolf has already given a conclusion in the previous life.

Japan's industrial and commercial funds came from the British, and a large part of the British funds came from Jewish merchants, so the Jews still played an important role behind the dispute between East and Japan.

And not only Japan, in fact, in the Far Eastern Empire, the competition between East African and Jewish capital in the Far Eastern Empire also exists, but East Africa and the Far Eastern Empire belong to semi-cooperative relations, and focus on investment in the industrial field, Jewish capital in the Far East mainly relies on the power of the British state, HSBC and other foreign banks and German merchant groups to compete, especially in the financial field, Heixingen Bank is a direct competitor of other foreign banks.

Ernst did not look down on the Qing government, but there was one thing that Ernst still admired the Qing government's thoughts, that is, the Qing government attached great importance to investment in industry, especially heavy industry and military industry, which was much stronger than the democratic government that was willing to act as a comprador and destroy national capital and industry in his previous life.

Although the Qing government collapsed because of incompetence, it did leave some family foundations, especially the military industry, unlike some governments, which swept away the treasury and all foreign exchange before they died, and took the family funds saved by 400 million people for decades, and the development of the projectile land was not as good as that of Japan and South Korea.
