Chapter 27 Consolidating the economy
"Mr. John Leedes, could you please provide a more detailed information about the three cities, after all, I have been away from East Africa for so long, and I don't know much about East Africa." Wells said.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wells, I don't know much about the cities in East Africa, after all, there are many cities in East Africa now, and the information you have is still sent from China, but if I have to say, Nairobi and Bulawayo should be the best choice. Both of these places are connected to the railway, and this alone is not comparable to the city of Kisan at present, and the city of Kisan is said to be in the Congo Basin in the western part of East Africa, and you must have lived in the highlands before, and the climate must be more suitable. ”
"Well, if you don't hurry, I want to think about it for a while, and it's better to get more news from the country." Wells said.
"The time is the thirteenth of next month, so you can still think about it for ten days, it is best to give us an answer as soon as possible, I am now working at the Mitte Street Branch, go there to report my name, the result is to be sent back to China first, so that there can be prepared, and the deadline is the third day of next month." John Leeders said.
"No problem!" Wells said that this time was enough time for him to discuss with his family, and Wells actually wanted to communicate with his family the most.
Wells then sent John Leeders away with Director Glerling.
Glering: "Mr. Wells, you'd better get your work done before you leave, your departure is actually a loss for our factory." ”
Saying this, Glerling is not really thirsty for Wells to this extent, in fact, Germany is not short of talents in this area, of course, it would be good if Wells could be kept, but unfortunately the East African side will not let go.
"Thank you for your care over the years, Director Gleiling, and I wish you a prosperous business."
Glerling waved his hand and said, "Let's pack our bags first!" After all, East Africa is a bit far away, and you have lived in Germany for so many years, I think you need to take a lot of things with you. ”
……
The return of talents is also to further improve the East African industry, or to consolidate, before that, the industrial system of East Africa can only barely operate, so more professional talents are needed, especially these East African young people who have accumulated rich production experience in Europe and have a certain degree of education to undertake.
"We have recalled more than 2,000 elites and leaders from all walks of life from Europe at one time, although they may have limited talents, but after years of honing in Europe, they can effectively check and optimize the current industries in East Africa."
"It involves the textile industry, machinery manufacturing, shipbuilding, food processing, glass, ceramics, papermaking and other industries, and strengthens the weak links of our economy."
The shortcomings of East African industry are light industry, and these are the industries that East Africa can best penetrate in Germany and Europe.
"Light industry is an important part of the national economy, related to the East African people's clothing, food, housing and transportation and other fields, blindly developing heavy industry and military industry, easy to lead to industrial structure imbalance, and is not conducive to the country's stable operation."
Ernst continued: "In light of the current economic situation in our country, vigorously developing light industry and adjusting the industrial structure are also important indicators for increasing East Africa's international competitiveness. ”
The export of military industry and heavy industry is obviously not as good as that of light industry, and first of all, the military industry of the various powers is basically not too bad, that is, the countries of the Far East have established a powerful military industrial system in the seventies and eighties.
Therefore, the pressure of international competition for heavy industry products is greater than that of light industry, and Britain, France, Germany, and Austria firmly hold the right to speak in this field, and it is a matter of system, and it is difficult for any country to squeeze into the arms market of these countries.
In addition to the problem of the weapons and equipment system, politics is also an important reason, and the above powers, together with Tsarist Russia, the United States, and Spain, have basically carved up the world's political resources.
This is also a major shortcoming of East Africa, the only major power that can influence East Africa is probably the Abyssinian Empire, but the Abyssinian Empire is only a medium-sized country in Europe.
"The integrity of the industrial system is extremely important to a large country like East Africa, small countries cannot build a complete industrial system, and at the same time, the right to choose their fate is also very small, and it is inevitable to be controlled by others, and our East Africa is obviously out of the level of small countries, so in order not to be controlled by others, all walks of life, of course, I am talking about serious behavior, to be fully developed."
"With the completion of the Hessian Railway imminent, industrial production in East Africa will inevitably be affected by the coming war, and in order to avoid the negative impact of the war on factories and facilities, more professionals must be involved in stabilizing production."
"Therefore, it is extremely important and urgent to provide a fast track for these returnees to accelerate their integration into East African social production."
The completion of the construction of the Hesse Railway is the time when East Africa will eliminate potential threats to the vicinity of East Africa, so the East African government is now the busiest.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured that all departments, the Immigration Department and the embassy will actively cooperate to let them perform their duties as soon as possible, and we promise to arrange the return of talents before March next year."
East Africa is now in a tense situation, especially in the central and southern regions, where the inhabitants of the east do not react much, which is related to their distance from the central and southern borders, which may become the front line of the war, but the factories and military and political organs in the eastern provinces are feeling the storm.
As soon as the cannon goes off, the gold is ten thousand taels, and East Africa must work overtime to produce materials to prevent the social problems caused by the stagnation of production caused by the war, so it is necessary to make two preparations, one is to stock up on daily necessities, and the other is to ensure the normal operation of factories and other institutions when the war breaks out.
According to the unanimous judgment of the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff Department, once the war begins, the problems facing East Africa will definitely not be the small fights of the past.
Because the enemies of East Africa have been well prepared for many years, and it is very likely that the war will be transmitted from all sides of East Africa to East Africa, basically the entire territory of East Africa may be directly threatened.
Ernst: "Very well, the return of talented people to the country should be accelerated, and preparations for war should also be accelerated, especially the registration and training of reserve forces, which should be carried out throughout the country, and all military regions, especially the central and southern regions and the northeastern regions, as well as the navy, should do a good job of preparing for war. ”
"This war is also a real battle of national fortunes in East Africa, if we win, then East Africa's status as a world power can be recognized by the international community, and at the same time, the harsh geopolitical environment facing East Africa will be cut, and the road will be paved for the development of East Africa in the next few decades.
The problem facing East Africa is actually the last battle for the "ticket" of the great powers against the background of the times, just like the United States vs. Spain, Japan vs. the Far East Empire, and the winner takes all.
In fact, if the Far Eastern Empire could defeat Japan in the 90s, then the Far Eastern Empire's status as a great power would be maintained, and it would represent the success of the foreign movement.
Everyone is a war of national fortunes, but the enemy in East Africa is obviously the most tricky, in fact, if Britain does not target East Africa, facing Portugal and the Transvaals alone, East Africa can achieve this effect as well, but Britain's suppression of East Africa will obviously leave no room for it.
An important reason why East Africa is facing a more dangerous situation than the United States and Japan is that Britain and the United States have already fought each other, and there is a binding of interests between the two, and the culture of the United States itself and Britain are inextricably linked.
Only East Africa was first ideologically detached from Britain economically, and at the same time posed a great threat to Cape Town, British Somaliland, Egypt, and India.
