Chapter 365: A Hidden Internal Crisis
"In fact, the deep-seated reason for the unanimity between Germany and France this time is that in recent years, France has put more energy into Southeast Asia, and France has achieved considerable advantages in Vietnam and Cambodia, basically building the core of France's colonies in the Far East."
"In 1883, France had expanded its colonies in the Far East to the vicinity of the Gulf of Tonkin in the Far Eastern Empire, and the Nguyen Dynasty of Vietnam had become a protectorate of the great powers."
"France's greatest advance in Africa was the northward expansion of Gabon's coastal colonies and the annexation of the Ourengu Kingdom (the ancient kingdom of central Gabon) in the west, while the road to the west and south was blocked by the Belgian Congolese colonies."
"Germany also had some offensive in Africa, mainly the Kingdom of Bam (part of German Cameroon) in the Gulf of Guinea, which was next to the Spanish colony of Guinea and west to the British colony of Bonnie."
From these points, it can be seen that France could not exert all its strength in West Africa, and that Germany's colonial cause was still in the cracks.
There are many kinds of colonial methods, and in contrast to Germany's conservative colonial policy, East Africa is radical, and even East Africa was not "colonialism" from the beginning, but the cause of "overseas nation-building" promoted by the Heshingen royal family.
Colonization is a reservoir for the industrial and commercial capital of various countries to serve the local interests of each country, seek to obtain huge benefits from the colonies, and promote the development of the local areas, and the local land is always the core.
And the Heixingen royal family, from the very beginning, there was no "local core", because before Ernst crossed the Heixingen princely kingdom, it had been de facto incorporated into Prussia, there was no "native" Heixingen royal family, and there was almost no difference between the ordinary nobles in Europe who grabbed a lot of money, it can be said that the Heixingen royal family almost did not have any advantages except for personal connections, and the connections needed strength to consolidate, the Heixingen royal family lost its "fiefdom", itself was greatly reduced in political value, and it was "relatively poor", a generation is fine, It will only get weaker and weaker later.
This is also the fundamental reason why Ernst actively promotes the "establishment of overseas nations", playing flowers on the European continent, but it is only becoming the wandering "capital" of the Jews, in fact, once the countries are blocked, most of the wealth accumulated by the Jews for generations will be plundered, and it can even be said that the current state of the Jews is the "leek" cultivated by Europe.
Therefore, the consortium line has never been the ultimate goal of Ernst's development, and money can solve a large part of the problem at any time, but power is the foundation of the Heixingen royal family.
In Europe, the Heixingen royal family has changed from a "fiefdom aristocracy" to a noble family vassal of the Prussian kingdom, which in fact represents the decline in the importance of the Heixingen royal family, which also means that no matter how the Heixingen royal family develops in Germany, the upper limit is there, and it will never surpass the Prussian royal family, and the Heixingen royal family is thin, so the political development in Europe is not destined to be smooth, which is very obvious before the Heixingen royal family opened up Africa.
After the establishment of the East African Kingdom, the Hexingen royal family was directly promoted to the leader of an important political entity in the world, even though many European countries are prejudiced against the identity of African countries, but it cannot change the fact that the East African Kingdom exists and develops.
This is the development strategy of the Heshingen royal family, in fact, the Jews have a similar strategy, but the Jews have never had the concept of "self-reliance", but continue to play the "parasitic" tradition, in Europe, the Jews can not find a way out, so they devote more energy to the United States, a new and completely capitalist country.
At present, German colonization is still mainly promoted by civil forces, and Bismarck's Berlin Conference was also promoted by public opinion, but it was not as strong as in history.
Because now Germany has a better option, and that is the "Greater German Economic Circle" that has been circulated by the German business community. ”
The so-called Greater German Economic Circle, very targeted, in fact, is the "fat" of East Africa, the potential of East Africa has been reflected, at the same time, for the sake of economic development, East Africa exports a large number of grain, minerals and other raw materials, as well as in addition to Europe and the United States relatively strong market consumption capacity, is quite attractive to any country in the world.
The rise of this kind of voice in Germany is understandable, but it is certainly not the result that the Heixingen royal family wants to see, which is also an important reason why East Africa sent Si Te, who has Chinese ancestry, to participate in the Berlin Conference.
This also reflects one of the characteristics of East African immigration policy to maintain the rule of the Heixingen royal family, that is, the large number of Far Eastern immigrants who are the staunchest supporters of the Heixingen royal family.
If East Africa were all German immigrants, then Germany's Greater German Economic Circle would be a reality, and by co-opting the Germans, it would be possible to achieve the political, economic, and military manipulation of East Africa, and to overthrow the Heshingen royal family, thus turning East Africa into its economic colony.
This is a social problem, for example, in the United States, so many people, there is no so-called concept of home and country, and East Africa is even more serious than the United States in this problem, the United States now has a history of 100 years, and East Africa is only more than 20 years.
Moreover, the Americans and Britain are not dealing with each other, and the Germans in East Africa do not have this kind of mentality towards Germany, so East Africa must be even more vigilant on this issue.
In fact, not only East Africa opposes the "Greater German Economic Circle", but Austria-Hungary also does not agree with this concept, in the final analysis, it is still a question of dominance, if East Africa dominates, then East Africa will naturally agree, but in turn Germany and Austria will certainly not agree.
Of course, the "Greater German Economic Circle" is only wishful thinking on the part of civil society, and although the German government also wants this, it cannot be done knowing this, and the Greater German plan (German-Austrian merger) is still possible, and the East German merger is not the slightest possibility.
The first is that East Africa has formed a self-contained interest group with an independent national consciousness, and this interest group is separated from the European aristocratic system, except for the Hexingen royal family, which cannot form a network with the European aristocratic group.
Of course, at this stage, the more important thing is that the European aristocracy will not agree with the aristocracy system of East Africa, just as it is a truth that Europe does not recognize that Russia is part of Europe, and Europe has a history of demonization of Africa for hundreds of years, so East Africa, as an African country, cannot get rid of all kinds of prejudices.
However, Ernst doesn't care, the backward thing of the aristocracy is not distressed to eliminate Ernst, as for the nobility of East Africa, it is entirely because the Hexingen royal family is a traditional feudal country royal family, so the feudal aristocracy is a necessary means of governance.
And it doesn't matter if Europeans don't agree, judging from the historical development of the previous life, whether the European aristocracy can be retained is a question, not to mention the rest, the current France has become a republic again, although the aristocracy exists, but the republican power is growing day by day, and one day the aristocracy will become a title, and even the title cannot be kept.
A person like Ernst, who knew that the absolute monarchy would be eliminated in the future, would naturally not go against the trend of history, unless the Heixingen royal family wanted to follow the path of the Russian royal family in the previous life.
It's just that East Africa is currently suitable for the system of absolute monarchy, and other systems can't be played in East Africa, but with economic development and structural transformation, the future royal family must take the initiative to compromise in order to seek the interests of other parties and ensure the continuation of the Heixingen royal family.
In fact, the biggest crisis in East Africa is the internal crisis, from top to bottom are extremely unstable, if you go in the wrong direction, Ernst will collapse more than ten years of hard work, now Ernst's goal is to make East Africa as a country, keep the general direction of betting correctly, and then the rough state system of East Africa, continue to check and fill in the gaps, this time will take at least fifty or sixty years, and finally all parties in society will integrate with each other, compromise, East Africa as a country can mature.
If the country is immature, it will be like the African countries in the previous life, military coups d'état, wars will break out, and the political situation will be unstable.
Therefore, East Africa still has a long way to go, especially in the 19th and 20th centuries, when the international situation was in a period of intense change, and only by ensuring national determination can it compete with other countries and become the final winner.
