Chapter 19 The "Political Assets" of East Africa

"In 1886, under the heavy blow of the Administration of Religion and Culture, 57 illegal missionary organizations were smashed, more than 4,000 copies of illegal doctrinal texts were destroyed, and 23 people from 7 illegal foreign forces were arrested. John Mendel, director of the Administration of Religion and Culture, reported on last year's work report.

"The people's minds are ignorant and easy to be bewitched by people with intentions, but we can't blindly erase the ideological sustenance of religious culture on the people at the bottom, so it is very important to deal with religious ideas harmlessly. Ernst emphasized.

East Africa has a long history of suppressing religious forces, but according to East African officials, it is naturally a crackdown on "cults" and illegal religious organizations.

However, the vitality of religion is stubborn, just like leeks, after cutting one stubble, another stubble grows, so it must be severely cracked every once in a while.

"The education department has repeatedly ordered that no one should reach out to the 'future' of East Africa, and that no one under the age of 17 should accept religious interference, which is an important foundation for freedom of religious belief in East Africa, and at the same time, it is necessary to establish correct ideological and moral concepts in East Africa's children and enable them to have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong."

Originally, East Africa was feudal and conservative enough, and naturally it could not tolerate chaotic ideas to "poison" the young people of East Africa, which was also an important task in the implementation of compulsory education.

"Up to now, 1,308 churches have been built across the country, and another 143 Taoist temples have been built."

Yes, East Africa has let go of the cultural inheritance of Taoism, which makes the East African religion not appear to be a monopoly situation, after all, only one religion is not reassuring, what if the pope and the royal power of the European Middle Ages struggle? This is a means of dividing checks and balances.

For example, the Far Eastern Empire formed a state of checks and balances between Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in ancient times, and the same is true in East Africa at present, with Catholicism, Protestantism and Taoism forming a three-legged situation.

However, the difference between the two is also quite obvious, and there is a huge difference in quantity, which is important for stabilizing people's hearts.

Of course, regardless of the religion, the textbooks are officially defined and written by East Africa.

These religions with official backgrounds are strictly restricted from being able to preach to believers on their own initiative, so they can only recruit believers by their own means.

At the same time, the development of religion in East Africa has a tendency towards the integration of religious kingship, which is mainly related to Japanese studies, and the existence of the Japanese emperor is closely related to the spiritual beliefs of the entire Japanese people.

This "advanced" way of thinking, which has a consolidated significance for the authority of the royal family, is naturally worth learning from the Heixingen royal family, but it is not as "demonic" and exposed as in Japan.

This crooked approach is closely related to the ruling foundation of the Heixingen royal family, after all, this era does not pay much attention to "materialist" thinking.

"All in all, secularization is the trend of the development of the times, but even under the upsurge of secularization, there are always people who need spiritual sustenance, and we cannot deny the existence of this spiritual sustenance, and the government needs more specious concepts to maintain social stability."

Not giving some people an outlet for their thoughts can easily lead to extreme behavior, and of course, blind mental control is also easy to lead to extreme behavior, so the ruling class must grasp the balance between the two, so that the entire East African folk belief is within a reasonable range.

John Mendel: "In the control of religious culture in recent years, we have clearly found that the infiltration of external religious forces into East Africa has intensified, and in the ten years before 1880, only three cases of this kind have been found, but in 1886 alone we have found thirteen cases, and seven religious organizations were involved, and this part of the activity was mainly in the open cities of the coast. ”

At present, East Africa is definitely a blue ocean for many religious forces, because the religion in East Africa is actually a puppet supported by the Heshingen royal family and the East African government, and it is decoupled from the mainstream religious forces in the world.

This naturally arouses the resentment of some forces, but it is also impossible to get East Africa to open its doors unless it uses violent means to destroy the consolidated national defense that East Africa has built up over the decades.

Hard can't do it, naturally they can only use soft means, and the development of proxy believers through open coastal cities is the mainstream model, but they have encountered the mountain of the East African Religious and Cultural Administration, and the two sides have fought many times openly and secretly, and finally ended in the victory of the official East African organization.

"We must strictly crack down on such foreign forces, especially Judaism and Arabism, and the Roman Church, now is not the Middle Ages, the rise of the nation-state is the general trend, and the only way we can take in East Africa is national integration, eliminate internal differences, and better concentrate forces to compete with other countries." Ernst said.

Ernst emphasized all three because they were the most unlikely to be fused with fundamentalism, a level older than the feudal absolutism of East Africa, and which remained unchanged in slave societies until modern times.

Of course, from the previous life, it seemed that there was a change in the Arabic religion, but this change was collectively erased by the Western society, and the Arab religion areas with no way out of industrialization have moved towards retroism.

Of course, this matter is not in the hands of East Africa now, the world order bloc represented by Britain and France is the dominant one, and there is no conflict between East Africa and France, but it is very different from Britain.

However, with the stability of East African countries, at present, it is impossible for external forces to overthrow the traces of the existence of East African countries, which can bring down the East African regime or divide the country, but the cultural system established in East Africa for decades is no longer possible to overthrow, which is one of the reasons why East Africa is becoming more and more open in the international community.

To put it simply, it is to stir up East Africa no matter how bad it is, and the scum left behind also has the flavor of East Africa, as long as the follow-up East Africans do not die, some people want to restore this huge empire.

This is the same as the spiritual reshaping of the Chinese nation by the first emperor of the Far Eastern Empire after completing the unification, just like the development level of the entire East African country is not high, but it has been forced into the ranks of the great powers by virtue of its size.

There are many flaws in the national shaping of East Africa, but on the whole it has been completed, and the follow-up is nothing more than to repair these flaws, and after the thorough running-in, then East Africa will be completely mature.

In fact, East Africa has completed the construction of the "spiritual Rome", and East Africa has established a huge empire unprecedented in the history of Africa, and even if it is divided in the future, there will be a situation in Europe where Roman orthodoxy is everywhere, so as to seek the "political and cultural heritage" left by the East African empire.

The struggle for German and French hegemony, Tsarist Russia, Austria-Hungary, Italy, and Greece all had their own "Roman" plans, because Rome was a large empire unprecedented in European history, and the establishment and expansion of East Africa was a kind of replica of ancient Rome.

Unless there is a country that unites the entire African continent, the historical achievements of East Africa on the continent in the future will never be surpassed.

This is also the political influence that has been unconsciously achieved in East Africa, and the political and cultural hegemony of Africa has been gradually established since the arrival of the Heshingen royal family in East Africa.
