The Hesse railway is divided into two parts, one is the northern section of the Central Railway, and the other is the central and western section of the Northern Railway, and the central and western section of the Northern Railway has always been a project that Prince Karl personally followed.

Now the railway department has given permission to the central and western sections of the Northern Railway, and after the construction of the central and western sections of the Northern Railway can begin, the most excited is Prince Karl, after all, this railway is related to the development of the royal territory of Sigmaringen.

So early in the morning, Prince Karl came to Constantine to ask about the details, and as for Ernst who was still in Europe, he naturally had no experience.

"Brother, how long do you expect the construction period of the railway to start this time?" Prince Karl got straight to the point.

Konstantin: "According to past experience, if you go all out, it can be completed in two or three years, but this railway is very different from the railways built in East Africa in the past, the amount of work is huge, and now so many projects require people, so I can't give you an accurate letter in terms of time, but the time given by the Ministry of Railways is four or five years." ”

"Four or five years, isn't it too long!"

"The Ministry of Railways said that the problems in the project are good to say, mainly because the railway has to go through a lot of tests before opening, because the area through which the railway passes is very risky, and it may face the risk of floods, mudslides and landslides at any time, so they must eliminate these safety hazards before the railway is operated, and this involves changes in some lines, or even major changes."

Tropical railways, especially those in tropical rainforests, are so troublesome to build, and East Africa is in a relatively good situation, like the Amazon rainforest, where even railways cannot be built, and it is convenient to take a boat directly.

In the past, the fringe of the Congo rainforest was much stronger than the Amazon rainforest, and the population was also larger than that of the Brazilian Amazon, but the basin topography also led to heavy water accumulation downstream, which is one of the reasons why East Africa focused on the edge of the Congo basin.

"This year, for the development of the Sigmaringen royal territory, we have specially recruited more people from the Far East, so that we can replace the black people in the Sigmaringen royal territory more quickly, in the final analysis, the black people are an unstable factor, even if it is East Africa, it is only a temporary use of them, otherwise there will definitely be an anti-guest situation."

Constantine, under the influence of Ernst day after day, also agreed that blacks were uncontrollable factors and should not be blinded by short-term interests.

"Brother, I don't have this idea, but I definitely attach importance to what you say." Prince Karl said.

After all, the development of the Sigmaringen royal territory now depends on East Africa to complete, so the value concept of East Africa is the value concept of the Sigmaringen royal territory, otherwise why would East Africa give up such a large piece of land.

"I am all for the sake of family interests, looking at the Yankees, their ancestors probably never imagined that one day slaves would turn over and become masters, and the Mamluks in Egypt were also slaves who became masters of the country, which has been staged in many countries in the Americas, and even Haiti has directly become a black country."

Constantine is exaggerating what he said, although the black people in the United States have been liberated, they are far from the point of turning over and becoming the masters, and many blacks have indeed gained freedom, but they have no livelihood.

In this way, blacks have continuously entered the gray and black industries in the United States, contributing to the social security of the United States.

"If they have any special talents, it's better to say that now the United States and other countries are in a miasma, and in the future blacks will only become an important group tearing apart the United States, because they can't integrate into American society at all, but they play an important role."

"Of course, this has little to do with us superiors, but blacks are indeed not the ideal ruling class, and their level of civilization is too weak, and the blacks in the United States have been growing cotton in the Americas for hundreds of years, like the blacks in Africa, many of them have not gotten rid of the stage of drinking blood."

If you want to change the living habits and moral concepts of a backward population, the cost is huge, and East Africa does not want to pay for the cost of time, so the simplest and most effective way is to completely remove these hidden dangers from East Africa, and the royal territory of Sigmaringen, as a barrier in the north of East Africa, naturally has to be consistent with East Africa, otherwise these works in East Africa will be done in vain.

However, East Africa is not necessarily free from the idea of using the Sigmaringen Crown as a reservoir for future populations, and this certainly does not hurt East Africa.

Sigmaringen's royal realm was populated, so they could squeeze out the blacks completely, thus creating a barrier in northern East Africa, which was the same as "planting crops to get rid of weeds in the fields", and it was a trickle-up of water.

"This year we have lifted some immigration restrictions, so we may recruit hundreds of thousands more people than last year, and this is for the purpose of supporting the development of your Sigmaringen royal domain." Konstantin said.

In fact, there is also a reason for the shortage of people in Somalia's "Eurasian Fruit Basket Program", so by the way, East Africa has liberalized this year's immigration standards.

Konstantin continued: "But there are some things that I still have to make clear to you in advance, that is, the influx of a large number of Chinese immigrants into the royal territory of Sigmaringen is not necessarily a good thing, and the white immigrants must also keep up, and we in East Africa are powerless in this regard, so you let Carol I think more of a way." ”

"The European immigration industry is very sluggish right now, and in fact it doesn't matter if there are other immigrants, it's just that there is too little German immigration, otherwise I wouldn't be worried." Prince Karl said.

"I have a way, in the south of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, there are many Germanized Slavs, as long as you can ensure the control of the Sigmaringen royal domain, then Germanization can be carried out steadily, and the most important thing is to form an arm." Konstantin suggested.

In the colonial era of East Africa, it was the army that maintained stability in East Africa, and then the army was used to ensure the development of various tasks.

After all, East Africa is not Germany, it is surrounded by strong enemies, and France, a sworn enemy, ready to take revenge at any time.

In other words, East Africa is now transitioning more and more to a normal state, while the Sigmaringen Crown does not need to do so, and attention should be paid to army building.

Now the Sigmaringen Crown Territory is a primary colony, and it doesn't matter if the ruling methods are simple and crude, not to mention that the Sigmaringen Crown Domain faces no fewer competitors than East Africa, which is already close to West Africa, France, Spain, Portugal, England, Germany, the Netherlands...... It's very complicated.

After all, it is the source of the slave trade, and at the same time, the Gold Coast, known as the Ivory Coast, is the earliest colonized region in Africa, and the power is quite complex, which is why Ernst chose East Africa as the location of his business, because West Africa is too volatile.

However, compared with East Africa, the conditions in West Africa are indeed not bad, and there are basically no shortcomings in various resources, if it were not for the mineral resources of Matabele Province and Hexingen Province, then the conditions of East Africa are really not as good as West Africa.

Konstantin suggested that Prince Karl form an army, which was also for the sake of family interests, and the French forces in the previous life penetrated deep into Chad, and East Africa could not always help Sigmaringen to defend his family, East Africa itself has a long border, and the pressure on national defense is not small, and it is expected that the royal territory of Sigmaringen will grow up to share the pressure.
