"There are many places to employ people now, especially in the state of war, our labor shortage problem is more serious, but this is also a matter of no way, we can start with the staff who have graduated from schools in recent years, and encourage them to take the initiative to go to the west to create jobs, of course, for the sake of security issues, we still need the assistance of the army, and we must not cause serious casualties." After thinking about it carefully, Ernst said.

In fact, the current population of East Africa is certainly not small, but what is lacking is the prime-age labor force, especially the trustworthy prime-age labor force, otherwise the blacks in East Africa may be able to play a little role, and obviously East Africa will not trust the blacks.

If it were a few years later, East Africa would never have this problem, so some things still need time to accumulate.

"How is the military preparing for the decisive battle in Mozambique now?" Ernst asked Felix and Witt out of his mind.

Angola needs to deal with the aftermath, but the biggest problem now is the war in Mozambique, the war is far from over, and the main forces of the coalition are still resisting in Mozambique.

"Now that significant progress has been made on all fronts, and some Angolan units have been recuperated and are marching eastward, if nothing else, we will be able to launch a full-scale counteroffensive against the coalition forces in Mozambique at the end of November." Felix said with a relaxed face.

The war has lasted for more than half a year, and now it has finally fallen into the rhythm of East Africa, as long as the main force of the coalition forces in Mozambique is eliminated, then the war in South Africa can basically be declared over, so Felix, as the Minister of Defense, feels relieved.

Since the beginning of the war, the officials and officers of East Africa have still been under a lot of pressure, after all, the opponent is the world hegemon, but with the passage of the war, the mood of all the people in East Africa has been reshaped.

At this point in time, even some people have become arrogant - the world's first power is just like this, of course, Ernst is very sober, this South African war Britain did not use all its strength at all, after all, compared with the Boer War in the previous life, the British army in the South African War showed far less strength than the Boer War.

Even after the victory of this war, the British should not be underestimated, and there must be a stable enough leader to suppress the "impatience" that is now spreading in East Africa.

As the world's first power, can not just look at the military data on the surface, but to look at the war potential, now Britain's industrial strength, and various data are far ahead, although there are the United States, Germany and other late-developing countries are chasing behind the buttocks, but only these two countries are the most special, and now Britain can still do it if it goes all out to hit a country, but this will only make the third party pick up the cheap.

After the end of the South African War, East Africa will only become the United States, and Germany, an existence that Britain cannot suppress at will, will only become a chess player who has gained international recognition, rather than really having the strength to provoke Britain's bottom line.

After all, East Africa still needs to develop after the war, and in the era of sea power, East Africa will certainly not be able to play behind closed doors, so it must be integrated into the international order.

After all, in the two world wars in the previous life, the United States only took over the hegemony of Britain, and the outcome of Germany, which chose to fight with Britain, was also quite down, which can also show that if Britain really wants to suppress one opponent after another, it is not impossible for this situation to occur, not to mention that East Africa is obviously far less powerful than Germany now.

So Ernst said: "The war in Mozambique, we must go all out, we can't underestimate the power and strength of the world hegemon, at this time Britain simply did not exert its full strength, for example, the Royal Navy just made a casual move to make us suffer serious losses, as for the army, Britain is also fully capable of sending more troops, but they did not do this, that is because Britain, as a global strategic empire, does not only have to focus on Africa, so you must not be complacent, The gap between us and the UK is still very large. ”

Of course, this said, but it also means that after East Africa won the war, East Africa also stepped into the ranks of regional powers.

For example, the Ottoman Empire, although it is declining, is an important hegemon, the Far Eastern Empire is the hegemon of East Asia, the United States is the hegemon of North America, Germany is the temporary land hegemon of Western Europe, and Tsarist Russia is the hegemon of Eastern Europe.

It's just that Europe is special, and Europe is currently the most powerful existence on all continents, so France and Austria-Hungary are all existences that cannot be ignored, as well as the existence of the United Kingdom, the world's hegemon.

This is not the case in South American countries, it is all waste wood to say that it is not good, and this is the case of the African continent as a whole before the rise of East Africa, and the strongest is Egypt, but Egypt, the former first power in Africa, is only a semi-colony of the world powers, so there was no regional hegemon in Africa before.

After the end of the South African War, East Africa can represent the strongest power on the continent and participate in international affairs.

After Ernst mentioned the Royal Navy, the East African high-level leaders present couldn't help but feel nervous, for the strength of the British Army, East Africa may be able to provoke, but the strength of the Royal Navy is not an exaggeration to say that now that the navies of other countries in the world are united, the British Royal Navy may have the strength to fight.

In this way, even if East Africa wins the war on the African continent, it will not have any pride, after all, it is not an ancient time, transportation is mainly by land, and you can choose to play a single-player game, but you must embrace the sea.

Ernst continued: "Of course, there is no need to be presumptuous, the food must be eaten one bite at a time, the road must be taken step by step, our current national strength has not reached the ability to vigorously develop the navy, but the achievements of the army are enough to go down in history, East Africa still has a long way to go, and it cannot be changed by one or several wars." ”

The navy is the most testing of industrial capacity in the current era, after all, the conditions at sea are much worse than on land, and the emergence of ironclad ships and battleships, as well as the development of various ships, and the prosperity of maritime trade have also established the status of the navy.

Britain's world hegemony was not achieved through the army, and before Britain, the world hegemony of Portugal, Spain, France, and the Netherlands was also achieved through the navy.

Although the East African Navy seems to be strong, it is definitely not on the same level as other powers, and the most important factor is the limitation of shipbuilding capacity.

In the last naval battle, East Africa and Britain were tied, but Britain's shipbuilding capacity could make up for these losses at any time, while East Africa needed longer time and effort to make up for this loss.

It can be said that the strength of the British Royal Navy is far from the limit of Britain, but the British have not yet come to that point, just like after the outbreak of the German Navy in the previous life, the potential of the British Navy was completely stimulated.

And the East African Navy's family base has spent a lot of money and time to accumulate, as long as one is not operated properly, even the bottom pants may be lost.

The navy spends much more than the army, so the overdevelopment of the navy can have an impact on the domestic economy, and only a country with deep pockets like the United Kingdom can build the most powerful navy in the world.

At present, the only two in the world with this ability are probably the United States, but the United States is a more insidious country and knows the price to pay for confrontation with Britain, so it has always chosen to keep quiet before Britain declined, and this should be the advantage of post-war learning in East Africa.
