After arranging the relevant matters of the Southern Ryukyu Islands, this matter can basically be over, as for whether Japan will not be untrustworthy, there is no need to worry about this now, East Africa has withdrawn ironclad ships and some ships in the South Ryukyu Islands, but it has also left a small fleet with gunboats as the main force.

This fleet is not strong in attack capability, but it is still possible to protect itself in the waters of the western Pacific, and the South Ryukyu Islands were encircled before because of the lack of cooperation of relevant ships.

There are artillery batteries deployed in East Africa on the South Ryukyu Islands, but their combat range is also limited, and they cannot take the initiative to attack or ensure the safety of East African merchant ships.

……

The matter concerning the Southern Ryukyu Islands has come to an end, and the vigorous construction of water conservancy projects in East Africa has caused some stirs.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, with the development of large-scale water conservancy construction projects in our country, the conditions in many areas have been greatly improved, but this has also caused some new problems." Minister of Water Resources Loire reported to Ernst.

Ernst knows that it should not be a big problem, artificially transforming nature, there are pros and cons, but on the whole, the pros and cons must outweigh the disadvantages, of course, some small problems should not be ignored because of this, and some things should be paid attention to.

At the same time, Ernst only controls the general direction, and does need his subordinates to constantly report to him the progress of the project and the troubles encountered in the project.

So Ernst said: "If there is any problem, just say it." ”

Loire continued: "First of all, there is the construction of medium and large reservoirs, which may conflict with the original settlements and agricultural land being included in the redevelopment area, so that the people of the original land must be relocated or replaced with new land to replace the arable land that is about to be replaced by the project." ”

In fact, this problem is very easy to understand, East Africa to build water conservancy, mainly consider two aspects, one is to provide convenience to East Africa, to meet the region's water demand, and the other is more important is that it must be developed scientifically and rationally.

As for how to scientifically and rationally develop East Africa's water resources, it is necessary to consider various factors such as time, location, people, and so on.

The topography of East Africa is there, so the water conservancy project must give priority to the topography, and the East African immigrants did not take into account the location before, many immigrants are directly distributed along the water source, and now East Africa has transformed these water sources, which will definitely affect the people who have settled.

So Ernst thought for a moment and said: "The project must be continued, after all, most of the water conservancy projects in the next ten years, or even hundreds of years will continue to create wealth, while it is still relatively easy to modify, or to correct in time, do not leave the trouble to the younger generations, we must take a long-term view, do not be afraid, of course, the people should also make proper arrangements, can not directly stand on the opposite side of the people because of the national plan, do a good job of coordination, and wait for a long time, naturally will understand the government's good intentions." ”

"Your Highness, we naturally think the same way, but in addition to this matter, the next thing is just the opposite, some land that was originally not settled or developed, but the local area has just been transformed into a livable area because of water conservancy construction, do we want to carry out unified planning for these areas, and then fill in the immigrants."

This involves the opposite side of water conservancy construction in East Africa, which is a top-down movement, rather than a spontaneous formation of local people or governments, so many water conservancy project sites are determined to be reasonable after water conservancy experts have investigated around East Africa.

Among them, there are some areas in East Africa that are not currently developed and have not been immigranted, or areas that were not suitable for immigration before, but are naturally suitable for new water conservancy projects due to other factors.

For example, there is a lack of water in East Africa, so East Africa has not been developed before, but there is a river around it, and there is a ravine next to this river, and after the water is diverted, it can become an area suitable for agriculture or other functions, which makes the local area suitable for human habitation and farming.

Thinking of this, Ernst said: "Now we don't care about whether to immigrate or not, but to make plans after the construction of these projects is completed, this is like a dinner party, preparing more tables and chairs is beneficial to us in East Africa, and when the time comes, more guests can be arranged, and we can deal with it calmly if the guests do not come." ”

Of course, there is another point that Ernst did not say, that is, the main force in the construction of these projects in East Africa, mainly contributed by blacks, so that the project that cannot see the effect for the time being does not matter if it "sacrifices" some blacks, but there is no need for Ernst to say this.

In addition, these projects will not be idle for long after they are completed, and the population of East Africa is still growing rapidly, and it is natural that these artificially transformed areas of East Africa will be filled when the time comes.

Ernst continued: "And immigration is a big project, especially through a large project, which will also put pressure on the administration of East Africa, so you have to grasp the middle degree, and you can't be too extreme, and wait until the future government has time to solve these problems at once." ”

More than one million people are involved in the country's water conservancy construction, which is a few million if you count the blacks, and this amount of work is not easy for the East African government.

In addition, there have been many things for the East African government recently, including new industries, water conservancy construction, port renovation, and the just-concluded conflict between East Japan and the South Ryukyu Islands, all of which have involved most of East Africa's energy.

Now that the end of the year is approaching, to catch up with Christmas and New Year, many government departments have to have holidays, and before the holidays have to complete the work in hand, there are year-end summaries and so on, so the pressure on the East African government is quite large, and it is not appropriate to add pressure to government personnel now.

Loire said: "Knowing Your Highness, the main reason is that the workload of the Ministry of Water Resources is too large, and this water conservancy construction involves a nationwide scope, and any order from our high-level officials is related to the changes of more than 30 million people in the country, and it is the same regardless of urban and rural areas, and the water conservancy department is also relatively short of manpower, so it is more difficult to deal with it." ”

In the final analysis, it is still East Africa that has taken too big a step this time, and it is strange that the population directly involved in a national water conservancy construction project will reach two or three million.

Moreover, water conservancy construction is still a professional problem, and East Africa happens to lack professional talents, so the government departments are also quite difficult to deal with.

However, Ernst was quite satisfied with the efficiency and ability of the government, and East Africa was only a new country that lasted no more than ten years, and the colonial period was only a dozen years, so it can be said that the officials in East Africa have exceeded their tasks.

However, Ernst is more accustomed to it, other officials do not think so, Ernst lived in the atmosphere of the national system in his previous life, the country is like a person, as long as the overall stability is guaranteed, then there is no problem, as for setbacks, that is the norm, every country will have problems, but whether the country is healthy depends on the ability to deal with crises.

East Africa is a new country, so many problems have not been revealed, as long as it does not die violently like the Soviet Union, then East Africa is a normal country.
