Chapter 268: The End

The Chinese herbal medicine cultivation institute has no bells and whistles in the selection of ginseng production areas, and the overall environment of East Africa still tends to be tropical, plateau, and some special areas, such as alpine valley basins, etc., there are some differences.

Therefore, ginseng is not suitable for local cultivation, theory alone is not feasible, but to practice, paper talk is not advisable after all, theoretical research can only provide a general direction for the Chinese herbal medicine cultivation institute, specific problems should be solved and analyzed after specific local practice.

First Town City.

Ernst conducted business as usual.

"Your Highness, we have signed an agreement with the Japanese government in accordance with your requirements, and according to the Japanese side's requirements, this is a secret agreement, you can see if there is anything missing or dissatisfied."

The subordinate directly handed Ernst a complete copy of the agreement on the Southern Ryukyu Islands, the exact name: "Agreement between East Japan on the Demarcation of the Southern Ryukyu Islands and the Miyako Strait".

Ernst opened the book without hesitation, and looked at it, this is a big question involving territory and sovereignty, and it is not allowed to be careless.

First the outline, then the main text, which was judged sentence by sentence by East Africa and Japan, and of course, with references to the Far Eastern Empire, after all, East Africa is a chicken-and-egg loan.

Then there is the very accurate Atlas of the South Ryukyu Islands, which uses a pen ruler and detailed data to mark the area of the South Ryukyu Islands in East Africa, including the Miyako Strait, which is also part of the South Ryukyu Islands.

The text and pictures, a total of 223 articles, clarify the results of this East African expeditionary fleet, and it is also the first victory of East Africa in overseas competition through force oppression.

As for the overseas province of Lanfang, it can basically be said that it was sold by the Netherlands to East Africa, so the situation is different between the two.

After reading it, Ernst returned the agreement to his subordinates: "Well, very good, let's let the military speed up the construction of the South Ryukyu Islands, in order to prevent the next situation of being surrounded by fishing boats, the island must stock up on a batch of food and ammunition, and at the same time, it must be properly managed, so that it can be used immediately in battle."

It can last at least three months, and more facilities such as water storage tanks should be built, and the freshwater resources in the Pacific Ocean are still very valuable, and our local experts in East Africa can go to the local area to investigate and prescribe the right medicine. ”

When it comes to the study of drinking water, local experts in East Africa still have some means, because when East Africa was colonized, they attached great importance to this aspect of work, after all, it involved Ernst's plan to successfully colonize Africa.

The drinking water resources of the South Ryukyu Islands are still relatively tight, and a large part of it comes from rainwater, so in the case of feeding the troops, it is necessary to treat the water sources of the South Ryukyu Islands, and purifying water resources is the specialty of East Africa.

"Your Royal Highness, the communication problem in the Southern Ryukyu Islands also needs to be resolved, and so far there is no telegraph connecting the island to the outside world, which has added a lot of trouble to our previous work."

"Well, this is indeed a problem, the telegram of the South Ryukyu Islands received from Fujian Province, and it would be good to dock with our East Africa through the telegraph network of the Far Eastern Empire, especially Miyako Island, Miyako Island is an outpost of the South Ryukyu Islands, and we can obtain intelligence in time."

At present, most of the telegraph companies in the Far East are private enterprises, especially in the northern provinces, which have East African matchmaking, and German enterprises led by Siemens and Hexingen Power Company have an absolute advantage.

However, it is limited to this, as for the area of Zhuhai trade zone is too narrow, but there is a sentence called condensed is the essence, East Africa is only this economic development zone in the Pearl River Delta, and the natural configuration is quite complete.

In the past, the total population of Zhuhai Trade Zone was not more than 10,000 people, and most of them lived in villages, and there was only one Xiangshan County around, but now Zhuhai Trade Zone has developed into a prosperous city with a population of more than 80,000, and many German and Austro-Hungarian merchant ships will dock here to rest, and then go north to Jiaozhou.

There are also factories, companies and shops directly in the trade zone, and the most famous here is the raw silk industry, which is mainly sold to Germany and East Africa, although the orders in East Africa are small and most of them are officially purchased.

In fact, raw silk is a very popular product in East Africa, and you need to queue up to buy it, after all, the weather in East Africa is very comfortable to wear silk products during the day, breathable, cool and smooth, and you can wear it all year round, after all, there is no winter in East Africa.

Therefore, the demand for raw silk in East Africa is very large, and East Africa is not without substitutes, but it is not as popular as raw silk, although the wages in East Africa are not high, but the corresponding prices are also low, and silk is a light luxury product in East Africa.

In East Africa and Germany, the development of light industry, especially the textile industry, is barely enough, because the labor cost in the Far East is lower.

And the Zhuhai trade area has naturally become a center of the Far East silk industry, clothing, food, housing and transportation are essential, and clothing is a high consumable, even if each person in East Africa only buys one set, there is more than 30 million sets of demand, so this market is very considerable, which is also the reason why the textile industry has become the second only to agriculture in the world in this era, and it is also the most important industry in the industrial field.

Although the Zhuhai trade area is prosperous, it is some distance from the South Ryukyu Islands, so if East Africa wants to send a telegram to the South Ryukyu Islands, it is more cost-effective through Fujian Province.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Fujian Province in the Far East includes Danwan Island, do we want to transit through Danwan Island?" The subordinate suddenly asked a very crucial question.

Only then did Ernst realize that Eggwan Island was now part of Fujian, and he was influenced by his previous life, so he was always prone to regard Eggwan Island as a separate province.

So Ernst said: "No, we can just lay the telegram through the submarine cable to Fuzhou." ”

As the provincial capital, Fuzhou had a telegraph as early as 1876, and the Heixingen Foundation also had a telegraph branch in Fuzhou, so the Southern Ryukyu Islands telegraph was transferred to Zhuhai through Fuzhou, and finally connected to the international submarine cable through Guangzhou, which went directly to India and Europe, and then went back to East Africa.

After all, it is not cost-effective for East Africa to build an undersea cable from East Africa to the Far East to transmit information at this time.

As for the safety issue, there is no need to worry, the international cable is naturally used by everyone, and East Africa is not worried about someone doing tricks, but it needs to be paid.

After all, the Japanese have always had ambitions for the South Ryukyu Islands, which is to prevent Japanese dogs from jumping over the wall, and as for the future when Japan really wants to seize the South Ryukyu Islands by force, then East Africa will also break a big tooth, knowing that this piece of fat is not so delicious, and after discussing the arrangements for the South Ryukyu Islands.

"Also, those gunboats staying in the South Ryukyu Islands can be regarded as an important armed force of the Navy in the Pacific, and they can be regarded as the base of the Pacific Fleet in East Africa in the future for the time being."

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Lanfang Overseas Province is obviously more important than the South Ryukyu Islands, why don't you put the Lanfang Overseas Province and the South Ryukyu Islands together?"

"The Nanyang region, where Lanfang Overseas Province is located, is much more important to us than the Pacific Ocean, so it is counted as a separate strategic area."

The South Seas actually belong to the Pacific region, but the importance of the South Seas to East Africa is obviously more important than all the Pacific regions except the South Seas, and this is the main direction of East Africa's future attack.
