Of course, the loss of money in East Africa is only superficial, and these blacks have long "earned" their own tickets to the Americas in the construction of East African countries.

Therefore, the value of slaves does not lie in the slave trade, but in the social wealth created by these slaves for East Africa when they were in East Africa.

With the British warship gone, Othello could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and although the form of the slave trade had changed dramatically, the risks remained high.

"These Brits, they really have nothing to spare, if there are no Brits, our ship can at least triple the cargo volume." Othello sneered.

And after the British warship left, the British sailors who had just negotiated with Othello suddenly remembered that the name Othello was so familiar?

"Will, have you ever heard the name Othello?"

"Othello! Isn't that the name of one of Shakespeare's four great tragedies? "It's a bizarre love story between a little-known Venetian noblewoman and the son of a Moorish tribe leader from Africa." ”

"Yes, the name of the black captain in Haiti just now was Othello, and I said how I felt that I had heard this name somewhere, it turned out to be the same name as Shakespeare's book."

The two British Royal Sailors then began to discuss Shakespeare, the famous English writer.

The black-faced Othello took his wealth to Haiti, where he built the world's largest slave market, from where various labor companies selected laborers every day, and then went to North and South America to earn labor fees, which is an important pillar of Haiti's economy at present.

……

First Town City.

"Your Royal Highness, five days ago, there were reports of British warships appearing in the waters of North Angola, and our patrol boats in the Atlantic Fleet, as well as some merchant ships returning from the Americas, which shows that now the British must have deployed their navy in North Angola, and the cooperation between the Portuguese and the British has been further deepened, and this is very likely to threaten our grand strategy of 'vacating cages for birds'."

Although these slave ships escaped because of the complete "procedures" and the "regular" channels, if Britain insisted that these were "slave ships", it would certainly have a certain impact on the population policy of East Africa.

"Don't act rashly now, we need to continue to get more information about the British and the Portuguese, and there is now a great deal of military movement throughout South Africa, not only of us, but of the other three major powers, which means that the enemy is now as impatient as we are." ”

"Military maintenance is very expensive and energy-consuming, so it is normal for the enemy to want to fight this battle, but if they compete with us in military competition, then they will definitely not be able to support it, and now it is already the maximum military strength that the three countries can maintain, so now they are desperate to put their fists in front of us."

"As for the slave trade, it's not actually a slander against us, but even if this method is used, it won't have much effect on us, even if these blacks die in East Africa, which is a matter of building more cemeteries."

Ernst said numbly, but there was a chill in his tone, and his mind continued to move towards "tradition" as the environment of the entire era rendered.

The slave trade is a minor problem for East Africa today, because the demographics of East Africa have made it difficult for blacks to survive in East Africa, and even if they now unite to fight back against the tyrants of East Africa, it will not help.

Because the gender structure of black East Africans has been distorted to the point where it can no longer support population reproduction, this should fall under the category of physical sterilization.

Of course, in the west, especially in southwest Africa, there are still Congo rainforests, there are definitely small tribes that can continue to reproduce, but in that difficult natural environment, the population is basically saturated, and it is impossible to achieve large-scale growth, just like the ancient northern steppes of the Far Eastern Empire, the Mongolian steppes themselves cannot contain a large number of people, so after a large increase in population, they can only be consumed by various means.

The low-level practice is to plunder each other among the tribes, and the high-level method is to huddle together and then go south to the southern agricultural civilization area to "suck blood".

However, the end of the 19th century was already the era of guns, and for now, the cavalry has actually been unable to restore the glory of its ancestors, but now there are relatively few such cases, and the whole world is still relatively peaceful, and the major battles that may occur in the next few years are mainly naval battles.

Of course, this is not counting the imminent outbreak of the South African War, which, once it broke out, would certainly leave a strong mark on modern history.

At the same time, it may also be the largest land war that changed the world pattern at the end of the 19th century, and wars like the wars between Spain and the United States, the Far Eastern Empire and Japan, were mainly naval battles.

Of course, the current land war cavalry can still play a role, especially the mobile infantry such as dragoons, which should be regarded as the last glory of the cavalry!

In the era when mechanization had not yet fully arrived, the fighting methods of the mule and horse empire could not be replaced, and the entire logistics system required a large number of livestock to maintain, and at the same time, cavalry was needed to quickly complete the mobile deployment in areas where the railroad did not extend.

Thinking of this, Ernst said: "We must pay attention to this year's livestock trade work, we must give priority to ensuring the supply of troops, and the war does not know how long it will last, and the consumption of livestock must be huge, and we must ensure that it can be replenished at any time." ”

East Africa is now also a member of the "mule and horse empire", in the countryside, roads, armies, etc., livestock are the main source of transportation.

With bicycles not yet widespread, the production of automobiles is surprisingly low, and the military cannot wait for the day when technology and production will advance.

"The logistics system is heavily dependent on livestock, and the care of livestock is quite complicated and cumbersome, which means that we must accelerate the development of automobile production and strive to achieve motorization in the army as soon as possible."

Motorized infantry, which first appeared in World War I in the previous life, so the role of war in promoting science and technology is very obvious.

In peacetime, countries are not too active in the transformation of military equipment, just as many weapons and equipment during the Cold War in the past are still young in the 21st century.

In fact, the Cold War should also belong to a special era of "peace", but under the military competition, countries took the three wars as their reverie, which promoted the explosion of military science and technology.

Motorized infantry is the development direction of the East African Army, that is, East Africa is a major automobile producer, and the automobile industry is constantly improving every year, so after the war, East Africa should be able to develop various military vehicles on a large scale in the army, becoming the first country in the world to apply diesel locomotives to the military field.

Of course, East Africa is not the only one that has this idea, but the most important thing is definitely East Africa, and East Africa is also the country that is most likely to achieve this first, and if it is not for the imminent war, then the East African Army will definitely be able to achieve this earlier.

And now there is more important things to do in East Africa, that is, to make up for the shortcomings of the geopolitical environment, it is not comfortable for any country to have a bomb under its heart (mainly referring to Mozambique), so solving the security situation can better develop the economy.
